Chapter 707: Chapter 701: Extra 2: Everyone Loves Tang Zhaozhao (Part 2) (4,000 Words)

Tang Zhaozhao was momentarily stunned when those words were spoken.

"Are you sure you want to follow me?"

She was used to her freedom and generally didn’t want to take people along. It had been hard enough to send Lan Hai away, and now Chu Mu was here.

Tang Zhaozhao sighed, "How about I give you some money, and you go out on your own?"

Chu Mu looked at the people of Jiang Mansion and shook his head.

"I want to stay with you."

"Miss, the reason you saved me from the riverside is that these people threw me in, despite me being a cripple."

"They are punishing me; they can’t wait for me to be dead."

Mr. Jiang was taken aback when he heard this and turned his gaze to the young boys.

"Did you really do such a thing?"

The boys were momentarily stunned and quickly argued.

"No, Grandpa, Chu Mu is falsely accusing us."

Mr. Jiang turned his gaze to Chu Mu, whose eyes were red.

"You’re only bullying me because I’ve lost both my parents."

It was the first time Chu Mu revealed such an expression, causing the young boys to take a few steps back.

Tang Zhaozhao always had a chivalrous dream since she was a child, and could never tolerate such behavior.

"Mr. Jiang, if you don’t believe Chu Mu, why bother asking again?"

Mr. Jiang said, "I also must ask my own children and grandchildren; we can’t wrong a good person. Besides, this is just Chu Mu’s one-sided story."

Tang Zhaozhao sighed, "From now on, Chu Mu is with me. I defend those who are close to me. If my people are harmed, I won’t let it go easily."

"Since you don’t wish to teach your children and grandchildren, let the whip in my hand do the teaching."

Tang Zhaozhao wielded the whip with great force, her expression also fiercely intense.

The young boys were struck and scattered like rats fleeing.

Tang Zhaozhao said, "In a family, if you can’t learn to share glory and disgrace, help each other, and instead only know scheming and oppressing the weak, then no matter how flourishing the family is, it will quickly wither."

"Today, I will teach you this lesson thoroughly."

No matter where the boys ran, they would be struck by Tang Zhaozhao. Eventually, they had nowhere to retreat and were too exhausted to run anymore, wailing as Tang Zhaozhao beat them.

Mr. Jiang tried to step in to stop her but was struck a few times as well. At this point, Mr. Jiang was totally immobilized.

When Tang Zhaozhao’s hand grew tired from whipping, she finally stopped.

She then looked at the slender Chu Mu.

"Let’s go, I’ll take you away from here."

Even though she liked being free from attachments, Chu Mu could definitely not remain in the dangerous Jiang Family.

Once they left Jiangzhou, she would arrange a suitable home for Chu Mu.

Tang Zhaozhao pushed Chu Mu’s wheelchair, moving him out.

Once they were outside, Tang Zhaozhao went to a residence under Mrs. Pei’s name, where a group of servants approached Tang Zhaozhao enthusiastically.

"Mis..."

The words the servants started to say were immediately corrected to, "Miss, you’ve arrived. Have you eaten? I have ordered food from the restaurant to be delivered."

Tang Zhaozhao shook her head.

"There’s no need."

After thinking for a moment, she noticed Chu Mu’s pale lips and obvious signs of low blood sugar.

"Get some food for this young gentleman, something that’s good for the stomach."

The servants immediately complied, and Chu Mu looked around this unique courtyard from where he sat. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Just as Tang Zhaozhao also felt tired, she said, "Send Chu Mu to the medical room."

Chu Mu’s dark eyes remained focused on Tang Zhaozhao without uttering a single word.

Tang Zhaozhao was momentarily confused, "Come on."

Chu Mu said, "That’s not necessary, I don’t have any injuries."

Tang Zhaozhao looked at Chu Mu and replied, "You needn’t worry; in my care, I will treat your wounds properly."

Seeing this, Chu Mu didn’t say anything else,

Once in the medical room, Tang Zhaozhao said, "Take off your shirt."

Chu Mu hesitated but obediently complied.

Upon seeing the scars covering Chu Mu’s body, Tang Zhaozhao’s brows furrowed.

His entire body showed no intact skin, covered with old wounds and new ones. It’s impossible to have such injuries without prolonged abuse.

Tang Zhaozhao said, "Your brothers are truly inhuman. And that Mr. Jiang favors them unfairly."

If he had just said a few words to protect Chu Mu, Chu Mu’s situation wouldn’t be this difficult.

He pursed his lips and stayed silent.

Tang Zhaozhao sighed, "I’ll treat your wounds first, and then I’ll let you use the scar-removal cream my mother made."

Chu Mu nodded, "Thank you very much, Miss."
