The expression on Ma Chao's face suddenly froze. What he didn't expect was that Ai Mingxu would let him bear everything alone.
Although he himself had the intention to bear everything on his own, when these words came out of Ai Mingxu's mouth, the meaning was different.
Obviously, Ai Mingxu didn't just mean to let Ma Chao take on everything, but also wanted to pick up Ma Chao and break up Irene.
"Dad, what are you going to say?"
Irene stood up directly and said angrily: "This incident started because of me. If Lin Jiao hadn't provoked him, how could Ma Chao do anything to Tian Xinyu?"
"If you really want to be held accountable for this matter, then you should hold me accountable. Since you are so afraid of the Tian family, just hand me over!"
Irene has always lived a very casual life, but she has never been so angry with Ai Mingxu.
At this time, they actually contradicted each other in public, and everyone in the Ai family was shocked.
"Eileen, stop talking and apologize to your father!"
"Yes, the head of the family is also doing it for your own good. If this boy kills someone from the Tian family, the Tian family will definitely not let him go."
"Although the incident started because of you, you didn't ask him to kill someone? Now that he has killed someone from the Tian family, he can only bear everything."
"Otherwise, the Tian family will be blamed and the Ai family will not be able to resist at all. Please apologize and tell your father that everything has nothing to do with you."
The people in the Ai family tried to persuade each other, obviously supporting Ai Mingxu's opinion.
Although they don't care about Irene's life or death, she is a member of the Ai family. Once the Tian family pursues the case, it will definitely not only pursue Irene alone, but the entire Ai family will be implicated.
Eileen's expression remained unchanged, and she said firmly: "This whole thing started because of me, why should I let my fiancé bear everything?"
Ai Mingxu's face was filled with anger and he was completely irritated. He raised his hand and slapped Irene hard on the face: "You are a rebellious girl, how dare you contradict me? I won't beat you to death, a rebellious girl."
!”
Irene's eyes were full of disappointment, but there was no fear on her face. She stared at Ai Mingxu and let the slap hit her in the face.
"Crack!"
At this critical moment, Ma Chao, who had been standing next to Irene, suddenly took a step forward and stood in front of Irene.
Ai Mingxu's slap hit him hard on the face.
At this moment, everyone was stunned.
Irene was also stunned. She did not expect that Ma Chao would block the slap for her.
"Ma Chao!"
Irene came to her senses first and saw a clear slap mark on Ma Chao's face, with distress all over her face.
Others don't know Ma Chao's identity, but she knows it very well.
In the north, Ma Chao is also one of the most powerful people. All of this was obtained by his life. He has always been respected by others for his outstanding achievements. When has he ever been slapped?
At this time, his father slapped him.
Ma Chao looked at Ai Mingxu calmly and said with great seriousness: "Uncle, even if you want to beat me, the one who wants to beat me should be me!"
"You are right. I killed the person, so I should bear everything. It has nothing to do with the Ai family!"
When these words were spoken, Irene trembled violently in her heart. She could feel how uncomfortable Ma Chao felt when he said these words again.
These days, Ma Chao tries his best to please Aileen's family, just to gain the Ai family's recognition.
Because of the great strength shown by Ma Chao at the Wang family last time, the people of the Ai family did not dare to show any dissatisfaction and were very polite to Ma Chao.
But today, because Ma Chao killed a member of the Tian family for Irene, the Ai family looked righteous and awe-inspiring, planning to kill their relatives in order to give an explanation to the Tian family.
Ma Chao was originally an orphan, but since he got together with Irene, he has regarded himself as a member of the Ai family.
But now, he realized that the Ai family did not regard him as one of their own at all.
Erin's eyes were red and she felt very uncomfortable.
"Why are you so stupid?"
Aileen stepped forward, stretched out her hand, carefully touched Ma Chao's face, and asked with red eyes: "Does it hurt?"
Ma Chao smiled reluctantly: "I have rough skin and thick flesh. It's just a slap. How can it hurt?"
But Eileen was in pain, and her heart ached.
"Okay, since you are self-aware, why don't you go to Tian's house and plead guilty?" Ai Mingxu said angrily with a stern face, but he was very happy in his heart.
As long as Ma Chao takes everything, even if the Tian family wants to take action against the Ai family, there is no suitable reason. After all, it was Ma Chao who killed the person.
"Eileen, you wait for me at home, I'll go solve the problem!" Ma Chao said seriously.
Irene couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears.
This was the first time Ma Chao saw Irene crying, and he immediately panicked. He quickly reached out to help her wipe it away, and said hurriedly: "Don't cry! As long as Brother Chen is here, nothing will happen to me."
Aileen suddenly threw herself into Ma Chao's arms, hugged Ma Chao's waist tightly with both hands, and said with tears: "You killed me, but it was also for me. If I really abandoned you, how could I?"
Worthy of your love?"
"You want to go to Tian's house, okay, I'll go with you!"
Erin said with a serious face.
Ma Chao's heart was beating fast. Although they had already established a relationship and planned to get married at the end of the year, this was the first time that the two of them were so close, and it was Irene who took the initiative to throw herself into his arms.
He suddenly felt that the slap he had just received was so comfortable.
"Eileen!"
When Ai Mingxu saw this scene, he was so angry that he trembled and roared: "If you dare to take a step out of the Ai family, then from now on, you will no longer be in the Ai family!"
Aileen left Ma Chao's arms and smiled self-deprecatingly: "In your eyes, is my daughter's happiness so unimportant?"
"Are you trying to sever the father-daughter relationship with me?"
Erin felt like she was out of her mind, and suddenly felt a little suffocated.
"As long as you dare to leave with this bastard, I will sever the father-daughter relationship with you!" Ai Mingxu roared.
Everyone in the Ai family hurriedly tried to persuade him, obviously very anxious.
It's not that I'm really worried about Irene, but I'm afraid that if Irene goes, she will admit that Tian Xinyu's death has something to do with her, and the Tian family will definitely not let the Ai family go.
Ma Chao was also a little moved and said quickly: "Irene, just listen to me and wait for me at home. I will be fine!"
Irene has always been a very independent woman. How could she give up so easily on something she has already decided?
She shook her head: "I must go with you, this is the principle!"
"Okay, very good. Since you, a rebellious girl, want to leave, then get out! Get out of here now!"
"From now on, everything you do will have nothing to do with the Ai family!"
Ai Mingxu roared angrily.
Eileen smiled self-deprecatingly, shook her head, and said with a disappointed look on her face: "Don't worry, what happened today will never involve the Ai family. I just hope you don't regret this decision!"
After that, she took the initiative to hold Ma Chao's hand and said: "Let's go!"
