Sweet Beauty

Chapter 1117: Why Should I Sacrifice Myself And Not You?

Hou Zexian wanted to close the door, but Hou Shihong seemed to have already guessed what he was going to do. He quickly squeezed his hand into the crack of the door. As soon as the door closed, his hand was caught in the crack causing him to wince in pain.         

    

"Hou Zexian!" Hou Shihong scolded Hou Zexian until he almost lost his mind. The veins on his forehead stood out and his face contorted. "Wake up! No matter what, you have to hand this child over to me! Right now, Han Yuanjun has let your brother go, but do you think everything will continue to be fine like this? Let me tell you, if we don't hand over the child now, Han Yuanjun will deal with our Hou Family! How many rich families have already fallen into his hands? Do you want our Hou Family to follow in the footsteps of those families?"     

No matter how cold Hou Zexian was, Hou Shihong was still his father. He had no choice but to open the door and let his father in.     

Facing Hou Shihong's anger, Hou Zexian finally spoke out all his hidden feelings. "Dad, it's not that I don't want to help the Hou Family, but have you ever thought about my feelings? I like Liang Zixuan. I've liked her since I was young! I had no choice but to watch her marry Han Yuanjun, but fortunately, Wei Xiaoqing exchanged the children and I was able to get closer to Liang Zixuan in this way. You'll never understand my feelings for this child! Dad, please understand my feelings just this once, okay?"     

"Understand how you feel?" Hou Shihong's voice suddenly rose as he poked his finger vigorously on Hou Zexian's forehead, "Then who can understand my feelings? Do you know how many people are in the Hou Family and how many I've to support? Hou Zexian, please don't be selfish. You can't let us all die with you just because of you and this child!"     

Hou Zexian shook his head with a mocking smile. In his eyes, Hou Shihong's anger was like a joke. "Don't poke me in the forehead and teach me a lesson like you did when I was young. I'm selfish? Yes, I admit I'm selfish! But aren't you selfish too? You want to rob me of my happiness to secure your own future, so why should I sacrifice myself and not you?"     

"Happiness my ass!"     

Hou Shihong really couldn't take it anymore. He grabbed Hou Zexian's hair and shook his head vigorously. "Hou Zexian, are you stupid? You have raised someone else's child! Is that the happiness of your life?"     

Yu Meilin saw Hou Shihong hurrying upstairs from the living room. Since he hadn't come downstairs for so long, she decided to go upstairs to check on the situation.     

Shortly after Yu Meilin went upstairs, she heard Hou Shihong and Hou Zexian's screams. She sped up and ran to her son's room. She saw Hou Shihong clutching Hou Zexian's hair like an angry beast.     

"Aiya, what are you doing!" Yu Meilin quickly pulled Hou Shihong's hand, wanting to save her son.     

Hou Shihong was furious. He hit Yu Meilin with his elbow and cursed loudly. "This ungrateful son considers Liang Zixuan and Han Yuanjun's child his life's happiness. If I don't teach him a lesson, he will go to heaven!"     

Yu Meilin's eyes widened in surprise. She looked at Hou Zexian in disbelief, as if the person in front of her was not her son but a demon.     

"Zexian..." Yu Meilin's voice changed tone, revealing her despair. "How can you say such a thing? He's just a child, how can he be your happiness?"     

"Let go of me!" Hou Shihong pulled Hou Zexian's hair so hard that his scalp almost split. His eyes turned red from the pain, "Hou Shihong, did you hear what I said? Let go of me!"     

"I am your father!" Hou Shihong angrily slapped Hou Zexian's face with his other hand. "You ungrateful child! I will definitely wake you up today!"     

In the end, Hou Shihong was still his father. No matter how rebellious Hou Zexian was, he did not dare to fight against Hou Shihong.     

Hou Shihong was very angry. He punched and kicked Hou Zexian, forcing Hou Zexian into the corner.     

Yu Meilin looked at Hou Zexian's bruised face and felt her heart tighten.     

However, she did not dare to stop Hou Shihong because he had absolute power in the Hou Family.     

Besides, Hou Zexian's words had actually angered Yu Meilin, so she could only stand there stupidly.     

Finally, Hou Shihong knocked Hou Zexian to the ground and then climbed onto his body. He loosened the belt at his waist and said to Yu Meilin, "What are you doing by standing there stupidly? Quickly take the child away!"     

Only then did Yu Meilin react. With an "Oh," she hurriedly rushed toward the baby crib.     

Hou Zexian noticed this from the corner of his eye. He struggled in pain and grief. "Put him down! Yu Meilin, do you hear me? I forbid you to touch him!"     

He had already been badly beaten and his body was pressed down by Hou Shihong, so his fighting strength could not match Hou Shihong, who was above him.     

Hou Shihong took off his belt and without saying anything, wrapped it around Hou Zexian's hand and then tied the belt to the chair. He then stood up, panting, and pointed at Hou Zexian while saying, "You'd better think about what your lifetime happiness really is!"         

    

"Hou Shihong, stop!" Hou Zexian, who was lying on the ground, shouted angrily at Hou Shihong's back. "Return the child to me! Do you hear me? Return the child to me! Otherwise, your Hou Family will not be at peace!"     

Hou Shihong had just taken two steps when he suddenly stopped. He looked coldly at Hou Zexian, his sneer filled with helplessness. "Since the Hou Family is already like this, I don't care if you continue to cause trouble. I don't even care if you poke a hole in the sky!"     

Hou Zexian continued to shout, "You will regret this! Hou Shihong, you will definitely regret your actions today!"     

Hou Shihong resolutely left the room, no longer caring about what Hou Zexian said.     

The two sons of the Hou Family, Hou Shihong no longer had any hope for either of them. He only hoped that in the remaining of his life, he could earn enough money or at least fix the Moutai Group.     

Yu Meilin hugged the child tightly as if she was afraid that Hou Zexian would suddenly pounce on her and take the child away. She hurried downstairs and sat down in the living room. When she saw Hou Shihong coming down, she was relieved. "Where is Zexian?"     

"I have tied him up. Let him reflect on his mistakes!"     

When Hou Shihong said this, he clearly looked exhausted and a little unmotivated.     

Yu Meilin sighed. "Zexian must have been possessed by something for him to act like this. If his words were to spread today, which famous family's daughter would dare to marry our family's son?"     

Hou Shihong felt a headache hearing Yu Meilin mention Hou Zexian's marriage.     

There were so many wealthy women out there, even one or two wanted to marry Hou Zexian, but he did not even look at them.     

This led to the current situation where the Hou Family could only rely on their old ways, and could not go any further.     

Hou Shihong sat down wearily on the couch and sighed deeply. "Alright, let us put aside the matters of the unfilial son for a moment. Han Yuanjun had set the time tonight for us to change the children back."
