Chapter 171 What A Shrew

Eventually, Jack announced the breaking off of his engagement to Rose. It seemed that he didn't care
about how this would affect his prestige. He didn't conceal the fact that Rose had an abortion, and he
didn't even care when others denounced him as inhumane.

Seeing Rose come to such a bad end, people couldn't help feeling sorry for her,"Rose is a woman who
fell from heaven and straight to hell. Love among the rich is as transient as a fleeting cloud. You cannot
rely much on it."

Jack made the decision without telling anyone, so not surprisingly, he was asked for an explanation by
Mr. Gu. But Jack already made up an excuse.

"How could she marry into this house and be my wife when she couldn't even protect our
descendants?"

Mr. Gu eventually left this matter alone and did not pursue further. He also turned a blind eye to the
ongoing fight between Jack and Jacob.

It was only after Jack left that Mr. Gu suddenly became seriously ill. Given this, trouble was brewing for
the members of the Gu family.

"He is absolutely mad for more power and status!" Jacob sneered as he listened to his subordinate's
report in his office. His eyes turned to dark and deep as if he had countless worries in his mind.

Jack must have something to do with Mr. Gu's sudden illness.

Did he think that by doing this, he could obtain power and protect his interests easily? That was
ridiculous!

Jacob's subordinate asked tentatively,"Sir, should we..." He didn't finish his words, but the meaning was
self-evident.



Jacob tapped on the desk and sneered dismissively,"Keep monitoring him. I would like to see what kind
of tricks he is playing."

……

At the same time in Haicheng City.

Andrew and Debby were a bit tense as they looked at the young man in a business suit sitting in front
of them in their house.

"Uncle and Auntie, don't be so nervous. My name is Paul. I'm a friend of Emily. I'm here because
Chinese New Year is around the corner. Emily asked me to fetch you two and come with me to Jingshi
City, so that you can spend the new year together. The young man was lying about his name. It wasn't
Paul. He wore a genial smile and talked to them politely and gently, which made himself endearing and
felt familiar. In addition, he chatted with them for a while, so Emily's parents were gradually off their
guard.

"Oh, I see." Debby said as she discreetly looked over the man,"You've said that you are Emily's friend.
Are you her boyfriend?"

"Not yet," said the man without letting down his smile.

Debby and Andrew looked at each other and came to understand that this young man failed to capture
their daughter's heart, so he came here to charm his way through them.

"Emily is always genuinely concerned about you two, so we'd better set forth as soon as possible," said
the man.

Andrew snorted coldly as he recalled the unpleasant memory between them and Emily. "Why would
such an ungrateful person worry about us? I think she is simply curious about whether we are dead or



not!"

After all, this young man was not a member of their family, so seeing Andrew openly talking about their
family problems, Debby was a bit sullen. "Stop talking too much," she pulled on Andrew's shirt and
said,"So sorry about that. Don't take it to heart, Paul."

The young man kept talking in a gentle and polite way. "There is no real hatred in a family. If Emily was
not concerned about you, why would she ask me to bring you to Jingshi City?"

Andrew was still unsatisfied. "Why didn't she come with you if she really cares about us?"

The man was getting impatient, but he concealed it rapidly and still replied politely. "Emily is ill, so she
couldn't come with me today. She didn't want me to tell you this because she doesn't want you to worry
about her."

After all, Debby still cared about her daughter. Hearing that Emily was ill, she started to worry. "She's
ill? What kind of illness? Is it a serious illness or a minor one?" Debby asked questions one after
another.

"It's hard to say. It's kind of between the two," answered the man.

"Come on, Andrew. Why are you still sitting here? Let's go and see our daughter!" said Debby as she
pushed Andrew. Debby was about to pack her bags, but she was interrupted by the man.

"You don't have to pack your bags, because I've already prepared some necessities for you," said the
man.

In no time, the Bais arrived in Jingshi City.

However, before they got to meet Emily, the young man quickly showed his true colors, shedding the
politeness and gentleness and replaced it with cruelty and viciousness. He locked the Bais in a



dilapidated, abandoned house and took away their phones.

Debby didn't know what just happened. She asked Andrew with a trembling voice,"Drew, do you think
that we were kidnapped?"

"You were in such a haste to come here. Now you see where he got us!" Andrew also had a sullen
look.

"Why do you think they kidnapped us? Do you think it is because of Emily?" asked Debby.

"It must have much to do with your baby daughter!" Andrew said.

Debby slowly calmed herself down. "If so, Emily will certainly come and get us out of here. She is a
very obedient and caring daughter."

However, time passed but no one came to see them, let alone brought them anything to eat. It seemed
like they had been forgotten.

They were so hungry and scared that they started to find a way out and shouted for help. But it was all
in vain. They sat on the hay losing hope. They argued with each other from time to time.

"It's all your fault! We were at our home safe and sound until you decided to come here without thinking
carefully! If it were not because of you, we wouldn't be here in this hell hole," complained Andrew.

"Do you think I wanted this to happen? Did I wake up this morning with a plan to get kidnapped? I was
just worried about our daughter!" defended Debby.

"Are you still counting on your dear daughter to save us? There is no one here but ourselves to get us
out of here!" said Andrew.

They fell silent after that.



It wasn't until a few days later that someone finally came and opened the door.

The two of them looked at the door, only to see a lady in high heels walk in slowly.

The lady was dressed in expensive branded clothes. She had a beautiful face and an arrogant look.
She also had a lofty manner. "They are the people I want?" the lady haughtily asked someone.

"Yes, my lady. They are Emily's parents," the man who locked Debby and Andrew was back. He
answered the lady politely.

Debby couldn't help snarling as she saw that man,"You lying bastard! We trusted you completely, and
you treat us this way! What on earth do you want from us?" Debby shouted angrily.

"What a shrew this woman is!"

Tina, the woman in expensive clothes said disdainfully. As she walked close to Debby and Andrew, she
couldn't help covering her nose with her hands. Then, she asked with dislike,"Why did you lock them
up in such a dirty place?"

The man lowered his head lightly and said,"Sorry, my lady. I thoughtlessly locked them here. I will
transfer them to a cleaner place…"

Tina interrupted him without waiting for him to finish his words,"There's no need to do that, and anyway,
they deserve to stay in this kind of place."

Andrew became angrier hearing what Tina said. He finally could not bear to hear any more. "I can't
believe that such a young girl would say something like that! I'm surprised by your vicious heart
beneath your pretty face!"



Tina turned to him with a serious expression but did not say a word. She sneered and clapped her
hands. Then, several strong men in black walked in and grabbed Debby and Andrew.

"Smack them on their mouths" ordered Tina.

The strong men complied and smacked Debby and Andrew instantly.

Debby and Andrew had not eaten anything for a few days, so they could not fight back. They were
smacked black and blue, crying and cursing at the men.

Tina coldly watched for a short while then stopped the strong men. "Bring it in," said Tina.

Then, someone brought a bucket of smelly leftovers from the house. The smell of the leftovers was so
disgusting that Tina took a few steps back as she smelled the odor, covering her mouth and nose.

Debby and Andrew were thrown onto the ground, facing the dirty bucket.

"What on earth do you want?" asked Andrew helplessly through his breath. Although he was infuriated,
he could not do anything, given that they were outnumbered.

"What do I want? I haven't thought about it yet." Tina said so as she looked at them insolently. Her face
turned wicked as she gave an evil smile. "Don't you know why you are treated this way? Let me tell
you," said Tina.

"It's because you have a good daughter. Too good. She stole many things from me and made me
unhappy,"

Tina continued,"but I cannot hurt her, so I will just hurt you. After all, you two are the people she cares
about the most."
