Chapter 1532: Not the Way Home

She dared not make a sound, knowing well in her heart that she couldn’t escape the punishment; her second brother wouldn’t let her off.

“Alright then,” Xu Qingbo said with a sour mood, “I don’t feel like going home tonight either. You can take her away. Bring her back tomorrow.”

Xu Shu’s expression softened, “Okay.”

The driver opened the car door, Xu Qingbo was about to get in, with one foot inside, hesitated for a moment, then stepped back and stood straight, looking thoughtfully at the siblings.

“Big Brother, you always protect her, and it’s not right. She’s already out of control, and if you keep saving her every time, one day she’ll make a huge mistake and won’t take it seriously.”

Xu Shu replied, “It’s okay, she’s still young, we’ll teach her gradually.”

Still young?

She’s already twenty!

Whose baby is still clueless at twenty?

In this family, everyone pampers Xu Tingting. If it weren’t for Xu Qingbo keeping her in check, she’d have jumped into the sky long ago. But every time he tries to discipline Xu Tingting, Xu Shu always protects her, making it feel like something stuck in the throat, uncomfortable either way.

“Forget it, just take her away. I’ll deal with her tomorrow.”

“Be careful on the road,” Xu Shu patted Xu Tingting’s shoulder and kindly said, “Say goodbye to your second brother.”

Xu Tingting peeked out from his embrace, “Goodbye, Second Brother.”

“Bang!”

Her second brother angrily slammed the car door shut.

The bodyguards were all Xu Qingbo’s people. As he left, they all followed along in an imposing convoy of several cars.

Once Xu Qingbo’s car was out of sight, Xu Shu released his hold and no longer held Xu Tingting, saying, “My car is over there.”

He let her follow.

Once in the car, Xu Tingting lay there and burst into tears.

She cried so heartbreakingly, filled with anxiety throughout the day. She actually wanted her boyfriend to comfort her, but after the advertising incident ended, Song Jin didn’t even call, even though he might not know about the incident, he should have been able to guess when filming ended. It was her first advertisement after all, and he handled it all, yet he wasn’t around on the shoot day, didn’t even show any concern.

She herself ran eagerly to his company’s building waiting, but all she got was one phone call.

With so many worries, she couldn’t ask anything outright.

Feeling pent up, she ran here to race, although the last time was already half a year ago, she was just afraid of being caught by her second brother, didn’t dare come, but ended up being busted on the spot.

Scolded, her ear was twisted painfully, and there’s still punishment waiting for her.

The ups and downs of the day’s emotions finally reached a peak, she couldn’t hold it in, all came exploding out, crying till she was gasping for breath, wailing, nearly bawling herself into faintness several times, it took a long while to catch her breath, but then she cried even more intensely.

Xu Shu let her cry, knowing she wouldn’t calm down anytime soon. He waited ten minutes before starting the car.

On the way back, not a word was spoken, the car was filled with Xu Tingting’s sobs.

After venting, she probably felt embarrassed, still lying there, not daring to turn her head, just stared blankly outside the window.

“Hmm?”

She turned her head, blinking with sore eyes, asking, “Brother Shu, this doesn’t seem like the way to your house?”

Xu Shu stared ahead, the street lights cast diagonally across his face, his cold steadfastness seemed traveled by surreal shadows, yet his expression remained unmoved.

“No.”

She leaned closer to him, her voice buzzing from crying, “Then where are we going?”
