Withered Broken Ice Blue

In the hot summer, the sun hangs high in the sky, scorching the earth and the air seems to be shaking.

Chi Feiwan had only been kneeling for ten minutes, but sweat was already breaking out on his forehead and the feeling of heat in his body was becoming more and more intense.

Chi Feiwan knelt in public, and everyone who passed by would keep their eyes on her for a while.

Moreover, the ground was very hot and Chi Feiwan's knees were directly burned.

The thought of "getting up" kept flashing through her mind, but when she thought of so many people's gazes, she suppressed it deeply.

Chi Feiwan clenched her fists, her fingertips digging into the flesh, and her knees pressed to the ground through her skirt, but still couldn't block out the burning heat.

Kneeling on the ground, under the scorching sun and hot weather, every minute and every second was torture.

Torture in the summer was a cruel punishment for anyone, let alone a twelve-year-old girl.

That afternoon, her face was as pale as a cloud and she seemed a little weak, but still beautiful.

If you think kneeling in the sun is Mr. Chi's punishment for Chi Feiwan, then you are underestimating it.

What is Mr. Chi? Is it easy for a businessman who can dominate the business world?

Every hour, Grandpa Chi would ask Chi Feiwan to rest in a cool place. There was water and watermelon in the pavilion, so he could replenish his body's water at any time.

During the ten-minute break, kneel in the sun again, and repeat this cycle.

Whenever Chi Feiwan was about to collapse, someone would pull her to the shade.

This is no different than giving you a candy and then slapping you in the face.

For Chi Feiwan, this was not only a physical punishment, but also a psychological torture.

Perhaps Chi Feiwan will feel better only when night falls.

Summer nights are not cold, and Chi Feiwan's thin clothes can support her through the day.

When Chi Yizi returned home, he was surprised to see Chi Feiwan kneeling on the ground.

He asked the butler, and when he learned the result, his pupils were stunned.

"You said that my little sister was punished by grandpa to kneel because she stole the green jade and refused to admit it?"

The butler was a white-haired old man, and he nodded.

"Grandpa, did you make a mistake? Why would my little sister steal green jade? As a member of the Chi family, what..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Mr. Chi: "Yizhi has been learning piano for a whole day, it's time to go to rest."

Chi Yizi naturally knew what Mr. Chi meant.

"Grandpa, Xia Tian is a person who can't stand such a kneeling. Even if my little sister really stole the green jadeite, why can't she use other methods?"

Chi Yizi has been protected by Shen Linxi since he was a child, and he has no idea how terrible Grandpa Chi is.

Old Master Chi was displeased, "I definitely didn't punish Chi Feiwan just for stealing, there are other things as well."

"That little sister can't stand kneeling like this!"

Chi Fei had not been at the Chi family for five years. When he was at home before he was seven years old, Chi Yizi had never contradicted old man Chi like he does now.

They had been separated for a long time, and he contradicted his grandfather for his sister.

Good job!

Old Master Chi didn't want to waste any more time talking to Chi Yizi, so he ordered his bodyguards to take Chi Yizi away and lock his door, but Chi Yizi still protested.

He slowly closed his tired eyes and informed the bodyguard beside him, "Call Shen Linxi immediately."

Only Shen Linxi can convince Chi Yizi.

After receiving the call, Shen Linxi hurried back to Chi's house. When passing by, he just glanced at Chi Feiwan who was kneeling on the ground.

"Dad." Shen Linxi stood beside Grandpa Chi respectfully.

The housekeeper told Shen Linxi everything about Chi Yizi's behavior just now.

After hearing this, Shen Linxi's eyebrows were twisted together.

"I'll go and talk to Yizhi about it." After saying that, he looked at Chi Feiwan who was kneeling at the door.

At this moment, Chi Feiwan was staggering, as if she would faint in the next second, but every time someone would pull her up, give her water, and torture her endlessly.

Shen Linxi rushed upstairs, opened the door, and saw Chi Yizi throwing things in the room.

She ran up, bent down and hugged Chi Yizi, "Listen to mom first."

Chi Yizi met her blue eyes and stopped what he was doing.

Shen Linxi gently stroked Chi Yizi's cheek with both hands. Chi Feiwan had never seen such tenderness before. "Yizi, I know you want to persuade your grandfather not to punish your sister."

"But have you ever thought about why your grandfather made Chi Feiwan kneel in front of so many people?" Shen Linxi said, "Your grandfather wanted to temper Chi Feiwan's character. I guess your grandfather knew what happened to us in the Shen family."

"Then why did grandpa only punish Chi Feiwan?" It was difficult for Chi Yizi to think when he was no longer rational.

"Your grandfather doesn't like Chi Feiwan's current personality. He wants to make Chi Feiwan simple, weak, and dependent on men. Do you know why Chi Feiwan was sent to Beijing to study by your grandfather?"

"What's in the capital?"

"Jiang family." Chi Yizi blurted out.

When talking about Beijing, the first word that comes to mind is "Jiang Family".

"Rather than saying that grandpa doesn't like Chi Feiwan's personality, it's better to say that your grandpa is preparing a daughter-in-law for the Jiang family."

The Jiang family lacks nothing, so they have no requirements for marriage partners. If they must have one, it will be the best.

Chi Feiwan had a superior family background and a stunning appearance, but the only thing he lacked was a perfect character.

In fact, a big family like the Chi family does not need marriage alliances.

But Mr. Chi will not waste any chess piece in his hand, especially the chess piece that occupies an important link.
