When she was doing this to Jasmine, she didn’t mind being sent to jail because that was the kind of punishment she was expecting.
At least even if she had to spend a few years in prison, Fu Juan would still be forced to confess her sins.
This kind of punishment of getting whipped by a military General was what Lanying didn’t see coming, but she was strong-willed.
She refused to beg or plead for mercy, she only continued to scream while trying to get away from the clutches of the bodyguards pressing her back, hands and legs to the floor.
Fu Juan’s eyes were already red and full of tears. This was her biological daughter that was undergoing that kind of punishment, not just anyone.
Fu Juan couldn’t stop her from getting hit, as she could only kneel and ask her father and brothers for help, but no one was listening to her.
’Mother even now, you still won’t admit to everyone that I’m not an orphan, but your biological daughter home you abandoned in the orphanage?’
Lanying thought to herself with tears in her eyes. Her eyes were already red from the pain she felt from having her back lashed with a whip.
”Father please, I promise I would take Lanying far away from here, and we won’t come back unless you ask for us! Please let her go, she was wrong!” Fu Juan crawled to Grandfather Fu’s feet and pleaded.
Grandfather scoffed and said to her, “If anything happens to my great-granddaughter, it will be a life for two lives!”
Fu Juan slumped on the floor in a pathetic state.
In essence, if anything happens to Jasmine, she and her daughter would pay with their lives. Her own father was telling her that.
Crawling back to Lanying’s side, Fu Juan said to her, “Lanying hurry up and admit you are wrong and say it was a mistake from your side!”
Even in that pain and difficulty in breathing, Lanying had the cheek to chuckle.
”Huh! What’s funny? You think this is a joke?” Fu Meixu asked from the side.
Everyone was surprised by her reaction. Was she saying that she harmed Jasmine on purpose, and she was not sorry for it?
”Lanying what are you doing? Hurry up and say you are wrong!” Fu Juan said with a nervous gaze.
It was as if she was afraid of something.
”Why should I lie? I am not a liar like you! I harmed Jasmine on purpose and I am not sorry for my actions!”
As soon as Lanying spat those words, the whip landed on her back with much more force, forcing her to yelp in pain and try to free her hands so she could use them to soothe her wounds.
But she could only hunger and thirst, and not receive any satisfaction, even for a second.
”Did you hear her, she is not sorry! I don’t know what you see in this girl, how did you adopt her without checking her character?” Fu Geming asked with a disappointed gaze.
”If Uncle keep up with this, he would kill her!” Fu Ling said to Meixu in a low tone.
FangSu heard him and said angrily, “She deserves something more than death, otherwise, what do you think she deserves?”
Fu Ling wanted to say the flogging was okay and was best to hand her over to the police, but he decided to shut his mouth.
It wouldn’t look good to kill her right in their sitting room, wouldn’t that disrupt the energy and peace in their family?
”I wonder what brother Hua would do when he comes,” Fu Meixu said with a death glare at Lanying.
Speak of the devil and you would see him coming to you.
Fu Hua stepped in with his heavy aura and behind him were a few men in military uniforms.
”Dad, I will take it from here,” Fu Hua said with his hands in his trouser pocket.
Fu Juan saw the military men and she looked armed as only one thought came to her head, Lanying was going to be tortured to death.
”This is totally my brother’s style,” FangSu said with a big smile on her face when she saw Fu Hua walk in with the soldiers behind him.
This is the reason Zimo did not appear at the hospital with him, he was already doing a tasking errand for his big Boss.
Fu Lei glanced at Lanying moving aside. “Did you go to the hospital, how is Jasmine?”
Fu Hua moved his gaze from Fu Juan to Lanying and then to his father with a frosty gaze.
”She should be fine. She would have to be under observation for the next 24 hours in the intensive care unit.”
Pointing at Laying who was moaning in pain, Fu Lei said to him, “She said she is not sorry for what she did, so you can take her, she is all yours!”
”Please don’t take her away, not in this state, please!” Fu Juan begged as she crawled to Fu Hee’s feet to plead for her daughter’s life.
”Why does Aunt care so much about this girl even after all she has done?” Fu Ling asked with a frown.
FangSu scoffed, “As if they are truly mother and daughter.”
Fu Hua took a step backward to stop Fu Juan from touching his feet, before turning to the soldiers behind him to say, “Take her away, and if anyone dares to block your path, kick them away!”
Time stopped for a moment for Fu Juan, as she watched the soldiers reach Lanying’s side and yanked her up by her hands, causing her to scream in pain.
This could not be happening, not, it shouldn’t happen in the first place. Lanying was her biological daughter and also a member of the Fu family, sons he can not be treated like a piece of wasted cabbage as if she wasn’t coming from somewhere.
With that, Fu Juan forgot the secret she wanted to so badly protect, her dignity and prestige, and spilled the beans while crying hysterically.
”Please don’t take Lanying away, she is my daughter! I gave birth to her, she is my biological daughter!”
