At the door of the reception room, the two men faced each other in silence. The wide corridor was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Luo Yanchi tried to speak to ease the awkward atmosphere: "Senior Dongfang, would you like to go in and sit for a while? It will probably take some time for her to come."

"Humph, what's so good about sitting here?" Dongfang Qunyu snorted coldly, and said with contempt: "You are cut from the same mold as your mother."

Those who bully the weak and fear the strong, who are used to changing their attitude according to the situation, and who have a lot of schemes are not good people.

"You're joking. How dare I compare myself with my mother?" Luo Yanchuan naturally understood the sarcasm in the other party's words. He restrained his expression and answered neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Seeing this, Dongfang Qunyu ignored him and turned to look in the direction the sheriff had left.

She was old enough not to engage in an argument with a junior. She just said it casually because she didn't like him.

The air became quiet again.

When Shichu came over, he saw two people standing at the door.

The older one was leaning on a cane, looking impatient and irritated, as if he was looking for something.

The younger one stood there with an unclear expression, not knowing what he was thinking.

Shi Chu was stunned for a moment, and a familiar voice came to his ears.

"Hey, Xiao Shi, my dear child, come here quickly, let me see if you are okay."

The voice was full of love and anxious concern.

Grandma Fang? Why is she here?

Dongfang Qunyu took two steps at a time and walked quickly to Shichu. She took Shichu's hand and said distressedly, "Look, our little Shi has lost weight."

Shi Chu couldn't help but remain silent for a moment. Is this the look that elders give to their juniors?

There is a kind of thinness, which is when your grandma thinks you are thin.

Although she drank nutritional supplements for a week, she really didn't lose any weight at all. Well, grandma said she lost weight, so she did.

She held the weather-beaten hand and asked in confusion, "Grandma Fang, why are you here?"

"You didn't come yesterday. Grandma was worried that something happened to you, so she came to take you home." As she said that, Dongfang Qunyu glared at Luo Yanchi fiercely. If she hadn't come, who knows what dirty tricks this kid would have played later.

"Senior Dongfang, you have seen that the person is indeed intact." Luo Yanchi spoke calmly and sincerely, "The Luo family is willing to give corresponding compensation for this incident."

This project must have the technical support of the Dongfang family to proceed smoothly, otherwise the huge amount of money and energy invested in the past few years will be wasted. The Luo family cannot afford such a loss, and the cooperation with the Dongfang family must be successful.

He had to take care of this matter.

Senior Dongfang? Shichu's eyes moved slightly, so Grandma Fang was originally from the Dongfang family?

Although she was a little surprised, it made sense that an old man could run a snack shop peacefully in the chaotic old town, and no one had come to cause trouble for so many years. She thought it was a little strange at the time, but she didn't think much about it.

"Who knows if the person is really okay." Dongfang Qunyu sneered coldly and gave her a look.

Shi Chu understood immediately that this was a request to stand up for herself and seek justice, so she quickly gathered her emotions.

Tears seemed to well up in her clear eyes. She lowered her head and held the old man's hand. Her voice was trembling a little, but she still pretended to be strong and said, "Grandma Fang, I'm fine. Although he locked me up with an alpha in the susceptible period for a week without asking my wishes, it was all for his brother."

Bastard, you didn’t expect that I actually have a hidden backer.

"I was so scared these past few days that I couldn't close my eyes."

In fact, she slept quite well, except for being woken up by Luo Yanchuan occasionally.

"His brother also bullied me and wanted to bite me."

But I beat him up and it didn't work.

"He even asked for leave from school for me. I was so scared... they wanted to kill people to silence them."

This is true, but after she thought about it carefully, she felt it was unrealistic.

This is the Sheriff's Office. If they were discovered killing people right under the nose of the Sheriff's Court, every federal citizen would be able to drown them with a spit.

The federal family and the security court colluded with each other and secretly murdered the orphans of military families. If this kind of thing was discovered, what would the soldiers who fought bloody battles with the star beasts on the front line think? What would the citizens of the federation think? They dared not.

Although they bullied her as an orphan, they did not dare to actually kill her.

Anyway, she is an ordinary person and can't cause any trouble, so she can only suffer in silence. Then she can be given some money afterwards and then pressured by the family power, and everything will be settled.

Of course, I still have to say this, otherwise she would seem pitiful.

Dongfang Qunyu held her in her arms, stroked her hair gently, and comforted her earnestly: "It's okay, dear child, grandma is here."

Her sharp eyes swept coldly over the two brothers of the Luo family, especially staying on Luo Yanchuan for a longer time.

Although betas are not sensitive to pheromones, they can still smell them.

I can smell the pheromones on Xiao Di so clearly. That guy must have washed her with pheromones every day, and she must have been ingrained with the pheromones.

Luo Yanchuan shuddered at her gaze, turned his head and looked at his brother for help. He opened his mouth to explain that he did not bully her at all, and he was the one who was bullied.

"Brother, I didn't..."

"Shut up." Luo Yanchi ruthlessly interrupted his explanation.

The current situation cannot be resolved with just a few explanations. The other party's attitude is obvious that they want the Luo family to bleed heavily and take revenge. No matter how much they explain, it will be in vain.

Talking too much will not help and may even cause the other party to be disgusted.

He lowered his eyes slightly. As long as the other party opened his mouth, he would grit his teeth and agree to anything that did not violate the bottom line of the Luo family.

"Senior, what do you think is the best way to compensate?"

Dongfang Qunyu looked at Shichu, patted her hands kindly, and said, "Xiao Shi, what compensation do you want?"

"Grandma Fang, I don't know. I'll listen to you."

Shi Chu wiped his eyes silently, snuggled in her arms and whispered, his body trembling slightly, as if he was still sad about what happened this week.

Grandma Fang is willing to stand up for her, but she cannot be ignorant of the consequences.

Standing behind them were two huge families, with too many interests involved. She couldn't get involved in the game between the two big families. At this time, she just had to be obedient.

Since the other party was willing to help her, she naturally couldn't make things difficult for him.

What's more, she didn't understand the affairs of these big families at all, and couldn't put forward any demands that would hurt the Luo family but also be within their bottom line.

It’s better to leave things like this that would put the Luo family at a disadvantage to professionals.

After all, everyone has their own expertise. As one of the seven major families, the Dongfang family must understand the weaknesses of the Luo family and know where their pain points are.

She should just watch the show obediently.
