"Snap."
A slap, hard on Emily's pink cheek.
Shangguan Baocheng looked at his once precious granddaughter with an angry face.
"It's getting really stupid to come up with this stupid method, Emily, what did I teach you, didn't I tell you not to act rashly? You actually ruined all my plans."
Shangguan Baocheng forcefully slammed the news he just got in Emily's face.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry, it's Emily's fault, Emily is willing to accept any punishment from Grandpa."
Emily did not raise her head and silently accepted the pain coming from her body.
"Master, Miss certainly didn't mean it, she just couldn't accept this sudden fact for a while, so she did such an impulsive thing, just let Miss go and don't torture her anymore."
Seeing Emily's red and swollen cheek, Shangguan Xu, who had been standing beside her, hurriedly came to Shangguan Baocheng's front and pleaded for Emily's mercy.
"Torture?"
A sneer appeared on Shangguan Baocheng's pale face.
"Shangguan Xu, what kind of status are you using to talk to me?"
"Grandpa, Wook didn't mean it, Emily is willing to accept any punishment from you. This matter has nothing to do with Wook, you should not punish him."
Seeing a flash of killing intent under her grandfather's eyes, Emily hurriedly crawled to Shangguan Baocheng's front and cried.
"Emily, is that how much you love this man? In love with this man who once raped you?"
"Rape?" Shangguan Baocheng's words were like a bolt from the blue, fiercely jerking at Emily's heart, Emily looked at Shangguan Xu beside her in disbelief.
"Grandpa, you must be joking, wasn't Wook always on your mission in the field at that time? How could it be possible to bully Emily?"
What happened a few years ago was like a nightmare, making Emily live in constant fear.
"On a mission?"
Shangguan Baocheng laughed out loud. There was no concern on his face.
"Yes, he was on my mission, but he did a beautiful job and finished the task I gave him ahead of time, so I let him go back to rest, but I didn't expect that he actually broke into your room and raped you, and that's why he kept guarding you."
"No ....... This is impossible ...... You must be lying to me? This is a lie?"
Emily obviously could not accept this fact, her emotions turned a little out of control, disregarding Shangguan Baocheng's orders. She stood up directly from the ground and rushed to Shangguan Xu's front.
"Tell me, is what Grandpa said true? The man that night, was it really you?"
Looking at Emily with a painful face, Shangguan Xu's heart was filled with stinging pain, he really regretted, regretted that he had done something like that to hurt her.
"Shangguan Xu, speak up, tell me, that man is not you, it is someone else, right?"
Emily looked at Shangguan Xu with anticipation.
"Miss, calm down."
"Calm?"
Emily let out a sneer.
"How do you ask me to calm down? Do you know how horrible that night was for me? It simply fills me with fear when I think about it. I can't forget how dirty that man left his mark on my body. Wook, you tell me that that man is not you."
The more Emily talks, the more emotional she gets.
"Wook, you just tell her ah, tell her that night, and she was with the man is you ah."
"I ......"
Xu glanced at Shangguan Baocheng, who was talking to himself, and then at Emily, who had an expectant face in front of him.
"I'm sorry."
It took all the strength of his body for Shangguan Xu to say these three words.
Emily didn't dare to accept this reality, she couldn't believe these three words that came out of Shangguan Xu's mouth, she deeply understood what these three words represented.
"Why? You tell me why this is ah? Why is this man you? Are all these years of guarding you atoning for the things you did in the first place?"
Emily, who was in an emotional state, raised her right hand and hit Shangguan Xu's face hard.
Shangguan Xu did not have any reaction, allowing Emily's pink fist, hitting his chest.
"Why don't you duck out of the way?"
After playing for half a day, Emily really felt a little tired, she stopped dangling and looked at Shangguan Xu.
"I once said that even if I give up my life, I will not let you suffer any more, the former injury was caused by me, so I will use my life to make up for this injury, Miss, give me a chance, a chance to make up for you, a chance to make you forget that pain?"
The bottom of Shangguan Xu's eyes are full of deep love, but this deep love, for Emily, who is full of pain, does not play any role. On the contrary, it makes her hate the man in front of her even more.
"Wook, do you know how long I've been looking forward to these words? Ever since you were placed by my grandfather's side as my bodyguard, I decided that you were the only one who would bring me happiness in this life, but what I didn't expect was that you came to me with such a mentality, and the man I hated the most in my heart, actually stood by my side all the time."
Emily's face was filled with a bitter smile, she really didn't think that she had been smart for more than twenty years, but originally had been living among the deception of her relatives and the men around her.
"Well, the two of you will settle this matter by yourselves. Emily, tell me everything you have done, tell me everything, tell me that Lauren lost the baby inside her belly. Did you set it up?"
Lauren the three words, in the eyes of Shangguan Baocheng, does not represent any meaning, for this woman, Shangguan Baocheng does not have any affection.
"That's right, I sent someone to do it, I sent someone to add abortifacient pills inside the juice she drank to make her lose the baby inside her belly."
Shangguan Baocheng admonished Emily.
The corner of Emily's mouth, hooked up a sneer.
"Grandpa, in your heart, there is now long gone the existence of me as your granddaughter, I really don't know, a man who can call his own daughter a wild child, is there anything else he wouldn't dare to do?"
Emily's sarcasm-filled tone made Shangguan Baocheng's old face, filled with anger.
"Emily, are you challenging my authority? You know Grandpa's character, and Grandpa will never let anyone defy me in any way?"
Under Shangguan Baocheng's eyes, a bloodthirsty glint flashed.
Emily's thin lips rose slightly, hooking up an icy sneer.
"Grandpa, after staying by your side for so many years and being taught by you for so many years, how could Emily not understand what happens when you defy you? Emily has seen with her own eyes how you punish your servants who betray you, so Emily will not make such a mistake and will not give you the chance to punish Emily."
Emily's attitude brought a smile to Shangguan Baocheng's face.
"Grandpa certainly believes in your ability, otherwise he wouldn't have given you such an important task to handle, and grandpa also believes that you will be able to complete this matter very well."
Emily gave a cold hum. Turning around, she faced Shangguan Xu.
"Shangguan Xu, since grandpa has placed you on my side, take me away now, I want to go back to my room and rest."
Emily's huge change before and after made Shangguan Xu a little inscrutable for a while, but he picked her up, left the hall and went back to Emily's own room.
"What? Don't dare to face me? Show the courage you had back then, huh?"
Emily, who had returned to the room, saw Shangguan Xu walking toward the door and said with a sneer.
Shangguan Xu, who had already walked to the door, stopped in his tracks. Turned around and looked at Emily with a heartbroken face.
"Missy, I admit that my drunken self back then did do something wrong to you and made you suffer greatly, and I am willing to spend my life to make up for what I have done, but please don't be so mean and give me a chance to make up for it and give myself a chance to forget the pain."
"Forget the pain?"
Emily laughed out loud.
"Shangguan Xu, do you think your atonement will make me forget the painful night? I can never forget, the pieces of bruises left on my body, I can never forget, the blood between my legs, Shangguan Xu, I will not forgive you, I will make you live in self-blame for the rest of your life, I will make you see me and remember what you did before, I will make you live in pain for the rest of your life."
Emily's hate-filled tone made Shangguan Xu shake, he really didn't think that what he did back then would make Emily hate herself so much.
"Go put the bath water on for me, I want a hot bath."
Since knowing that the man that night was Shangguan Xu, Emily looked at him with eyes that were no longer filled with tenderness, no longer filled with love, but filled with indescribable hatred.
There was no other way, Shangguan Xu could only follow Emily's request and walked into the bathroom.
Looking at Shangguan Xu's lonely back, Emily's face, raised a wry smile.
