Chapter 298: Revenge

I didn’t have a good impression of those two powerful individuals but they were Mai Qi’s family. They cared about her in their complicated ways and I needed Mai Qi to know that.
This whole thing was a baiting operation using Mai Qi, but the girl was still warmed by their concern.
Mai Qi’s father and brother cared about her but they also used her to smoke out the Brothers who sided with Mrs. Mai to ruin Mai Qi’s family. As I had said, this was a complicated family.
While I had a heart-to-heart with Mai Qi, things had exploded at the Shi Family. Mrs. Mai went to demand Mai Qi from them.
Shi Feng was missing and Mrs. Mai kept being fed scandals about Shi Feng’s perversions. Mrs. Mai was terrified and angry. Ye Qian and Gu Yan could not appease her. Mrs. Mai insisted that the Shi Family hand Mai Qi over. However, the Shi Family could not find Mai Qi or Shi Feng.
In the end, Mrs. Mai had to turn to Qu Hao. The maid that we left by Mrs. Mai’s side returned to us with the news.
Mai Qi had fully calmed down by then.
Qu Hao and Du Heng came to find me simultaneously. I had Mai Qi talk to them in person. I only told Mai Qi this, “The door of Huan Yuan is always open for you. As long as Sky City is around, you are its Sister Qi. Nanxing will always welcome you.”
Mai Qi smiled and hugged me. “They are right. I’m lucky to have a friend like you.”
I stopped worrying about Mai Qi because she was back to her usual self. She was wise enough to deal with this on her own.
After sending Mai Qi away in secret, I welcomed another guest.
…
This time, Jing Tian, my little uncle, and I stood behind the double-sided mirror in the bathroom.
When I saw Jing Ni holding a whip in the bedroom, I couldn’t help but worry. “Who came up with this idea? It sounds like a scam!”
Tong Le smacked the back of my head. “Hush! Don’t talk nonsense. This is the doctor’s idea.”
I turned around to glare at him discontentedly. “If this doesn’t work, you’ll have to take her back to continue the treatment. You’re only allowed to return when she is fully recovered!”
Tong Le glared at me. “How can you talk to me like that? I’m your little uncle!”
I pointed at Jing Ni. “And that is the little aunt you’ve chosen for me!”
Tong Le was stumped. He glared at me but said nothing before turning his head away.
Jing Tian pulled my hand so that I would turn back to the mirror.
A tied-up Shi Feng was lowered from the ceiling. Shi Feng prepared the ropes himself. I bet he never thought they would one day be used on him.
Shi Feng was drunk. His mind was submerged in debauchery. But when he saw Jing Ni, he was able to recognize her immediately.
“It’s you?” Shi Feng was first surprised and then he laughed. “Jing Ni baby, why are you here? Didn’t they say you’ve gone insane? But you look so fine to me! Did you come back because you miss me?”
Jing Ni raised the whip and swung it on Shi Feng’s body. Through the mirror, I could hear the whiplash against the flesh. I winced involuntarily.
“Ah!”
“Ah!”
Two people screamed at the same time. Shi Feng wailed from pain, while Jing Ni cowered as she covered her head.
“You bitch, how dare you hit me!” Shi Feng cursed loudly. “Who the fuck do you think you are? You should count the lucky stars that I liked you. In the Jing Family, you are no better than a dog. You were given to me as a gift. How dare you raise your arm against me?!”
Jing Ni used the whip again.
Shi Feng’s words became more and more unpleasant to the ears.
Jing Ni stopped screaming and started whipping instead.
Whenever Shi Feng brought up an awful thing he had done to Jing Ni, she would reward him with one more whip.
