Beautiful Wife from Heaven: Mr. Qi, Let's Get Married

Chapter 214 - 214: The Art Studio Was Destroyed



After Xu Jiaojiao finished her exams, it was still early. It was not even four in the afternoon and the sun was still scorching hot. When she got out of the car, it was as if she was being roasted by a fire.

“Madam, you’re back…” The butler looked flustered.

“Yeah, I had an exam today, so I came back early,” Xu Jiaojiao explained as she walked forward.

“Madam…” The butler called out to her, still as panicky as before.

Xu Jiaojiao could tell that something was wrong with his expression. “What’s wrong?”

“Madam, go to the studio and take a look first!” When the butler said this, his heart was trembling.

Xu Jiaojiao did not know what had happened, but judging from the butler’s expression, it did not seem like anything good, so she ran towards the studio.

As soon as she arrived at the entrance of the studio, she saw Zhou Xiaojie inside. His entire body was covered in paint.

Her art studio looked like a garbage dump.

The paintings were a mess, and there was a lot of paint on the ground.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose.” Zhou Xiaojie smiled embarrassedly.

‘I did do it on purpose!’

For a moment, Xu Jiaojiao felt like fainting. Her studio… the studio that she had meticulously taken care of, and all her precious work…

She really wanted to beat the brat up, but she could not bear to. He was just a child. Moreover, he said that he did not do it on purpose and even apologized to her. The mother and son were already pitiful, so she could not blame him.

Xu Jiaojiao took a tissue and pulled out a few pieces of paper. She then began to wipe Zhou Xiaojie’s face and hands.

“It’s fine. Do you want to learn how to draw?” Xu Jiaojiao asked.

“Mm-hmm… I saw that your drawing was beautiful. I want to learn too.” Zhou Xiaojie did not expect Xu Jiaojiao to be so calm, so he could only answer like this.

“I’ll teach you in the future,” Xu Jiaojiao said gently. “Go take a shower later. Otherwise, it won’t be easy to wash the paint off.” Then, she held his hand and took him out of the studio before handing him over to the butler. “Give him a shower and then change his clothes.”

“You’re not angry?” Zhou Xiaojie looked at Xu Jiaojiao doubtfully.

“I’m not angry!” Xu Jiaojiao said as she thought to herself, ‘As if!’

The problem was he was not her biological son. If he was, she would definitely teach him a lesson he would never forget.

Xu Jiaojiao looked at the messy art studio. She felt a headache coming on, but fortunately, there were not any important artworks here. The ruined paintings were just her usual practice.

If he had destroyed any of her important paintings, she would definitely go crazy.

Afterward, Xu Jiaojiao began to tidy up the studio bit by bit. She could not stand the mess here.

Qi Shenbai had also returned early today. When he saw Xu Jiaojiao tidying up the studio, he asked, “Did Zhou Xiaojie do it?”

“You’re back?” Xu Jiaojiao continued to bend over and tidy up. Qi Shenbai did not care about that and strode over, pulling Xu Jiaojiao back. “Stop tidying up.” “Huh?” Xu Jiaojiao did not know what Qi Shenbai meant.

“You can’t spoil a child like this. Children should be punished for their mistakes.” As he spoke, Qi Shenbai pulled Xu Jiaojiao away and happened to see Zhou Xiaojie, who had just finished showering and changing his clothes.

“Did you mess up the studio?” Qi Shenbai was very serious. He was usually very dignified, but when he was serious, he was even more terrifying than usual.

Zhou Xiaojie was a little afraid. “I… I didn’t do it on purpose.”

“Apologize to Auntie Xu.” Qi Shenbai was still serious. “And clean up the studio.”

When Zhou Xiaojie heard this, he was about to cry. Tears welled up in his eyes.

Xu Jiaojiao saw that he was pitiful and wanted to comfort him, but she was stopped by Qi Shenbai. Qi Shenbai seemed to know what she wanted to say. However, he did not want to hear her pleas right now. He only wanted to seek justice for Xu Jiaojiao.

“You can cry if you want, but after crying, you still have to clean up the studio and apologize to Auntie Xu.” Qi Shenbai’s attitude was unquestionable and resolute.

Tears immediately rolled down Zhou Xiaojie’s face. He felt wronged, but Qi Shenbai ignored him and brought Xu Jiaojiao upstairs.

Xu Jiaojiao took his suit jacket and hung it up. Then, she helped him remove his tie. It was the first time she had done so, so she was a little rusty. However, Qi Shenbai had plenty of patience for her. He let her slowly fiddle with it.

“Aren’t you being too strict?” Xu Jiaojiao could not bear to see a child cry.

“Not at all. He’s still young, so he can still be taught. If we spoil him and he makes a habit of such destruction, what if he grows up to be a jerk in the future?” Qi Shenbai’s explanation was flawless, and Xu Jiaojiao could not refute it. Besides, he was not her child, so it would not be good to say too much.

“Aren’t you angry after what he did to your studio?” Qi Shenbai was most afraid that Xu Jiaojiao would be sad. His heart ached for her.

“Yeah… It’s not that I’m not angry. I’m still a little angry, but since he’s your godson, I’ll just forget about it,” Xu Jiaojiao said honestly. She had promised not to lie to him..
