After the thrashing, Xia Qingtian asked again, "Do you understand now?"
"I don't know." Shi Qian stubbornly responded, her face full of defiance.
"Really?" Xia Qingtian smirked at Shi Qian, followed by landing another slap on her face, "Do you know where you went wrong?"
"I didn't do anything wrong."
Xia Qingtian took her time, leisurely dealing another slap.
She was curious to see whether Shi Qian was more thick-skinned or stubborn. Either way, she had all the time in the world for this face-off.
Shi Qian's face was hurting so much that it was almost numb.
So when Xia Qingtian asked her again whether she knew where she had gone wrong, Shi Qian fell silent, no longer wanting to endure the beatings.
Xia Qingtian didn't get angry at Shi Qian's defeated, uncooperative demeanor.
"Assuming your silence means you still don't admit wrongdoing." Xia Qingtian raised her hand for another slap.
Fear flickered in Shi Qian's eyes.
She was truly terrified.
Terrified of being beaten!
