Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhang Huanhuan spoke up, “Forget it, Grandma. I don’t think Auntie did it on purpose. Moreover, I’m younger than her; how can I make an elder lower her head and apologize?”
“We don’t need you to be so hypocritical,” Zhang Nuannuan said.
Old Madam Zhang looked at Mrs. Zhang and said, “I’m already giving you face by not asking you to apologize at the hospital. We’re all family now, so can’t you just say sorry?”
“Mom, I didn’t push her on purpose. Why should I apologize?” Mrs. Zhang gritted her teeth.
“No matter what, you still pushed her, right?” Old Madam Zhang said seriously.
“Grandma, you can’t do this to my mother,” said Zhang Nuannuan immediately.
Old Madam Zhang ignored her and looked coldly at Mrs. Zhang.
“If you did something wrong, then you have to admit your mistake,” she said.
Although Mrs. Zhang was unwilling, she knew the old lady still had the final say in the family.
“I’m sorry,” she apologized.
Zhang Huanhuan felt very refreshed, immediately waving her hand and replying, “Auntie, I know it was an accident. I should apologize; it’s all my fault. I couldn’t hold my balance properly.”
Seeing that she didn’t make things any more difficult for her, Old Madam Zhang was very satisfied.
She liked obedient people.
“You see, Huanhuan is very sensible. She’s even speaking up for you now, but you were so reluctant to apologize,” she said.
Zhang Nuannuan was furious when she heard Old Madam Zhang’s words.
“Grandma, are you out of your mind?” she said in agitation. “My mother didn’t do anything wrong; this b*tch deliberately framed her.”
“Pa!”
A slap landed on Zhang Nuannuan’s face.
She looked at her mother in disbelief.
“Zhang Nuannuan!” Mrs. Zhang’s heart ached. “How dare you talk to Grandma like that?!” she said sternly.
“Ever since that b*tch came, there hasn’t been a day of peace in the house!” Zhang Nuannuan cried.
She then ran back to the bedroom.
Mrs. Zhang didn’t chase after her, not forgetting what her son had said before.
“Dad, did Sister Nuannuan misunderstand me again?” Zhang Huanhuan pretended to feel guilty. “I should go explain.”
Mrs. Zhang almost couldn’t hold it in when she heard Zhang Huanhuan call Mr. Zhang ‘Dad’.
She took a deep breath and said, “Miss Zhang, Nuannuan isn’t in a good mood right now. If you go over now, you’ll easily agitate her. It won’t end well, no matter which one of you gets hurt.”
Old Madam Zhang also knew her eldest granddaughter’s temper. Zhang Huanhuan wanted to go at this time, wasn’t she just trying to add fuel to the fire and provoke Mr. Zhang?
At the thought of this, her face darkened.
“No one can quell her anger,” said Old Madam Zhang. “Even she needs to learn to control her bad temper. Otherwise, how will she get married in the future?”
When Mrs. Zhang heard the old lady’s words, she felt very awkward, but she remained silent. After all, her daughter wasn’t thinking straight just now and dared to insult the old lady. How could the old lady not be angry?
“Nuannuan is becoming more and more willful. It’s all because of you!” said Mr. Zhang.
He pushed all the responsibility to Mrs. Zhang.
Mrs. Zhang was furious and replied, “Nuannuan has been like this since she was young; she can’t change right away! You should take care of Zhang Huanhuan and make sure she doesn’t always provoke Nuannuan. She’s much better than me!”
Zhang Huanhuan replied, “Auntie, I know you hate me. Don’t worry. I will never provoke Sister Nuannuan.”
“Don’t call her that,” Mrs. Zhang said. “She won’t accept it. You can still call her Eldest Miss from now on.”
“Huanhuan calls me Dad, so is it wrong to call Nuannuan her sister?” Mr. Zhang said with a cold face.
“Or rather, you don’t want Huanhuan to be my daughter at all? If Zhang Nuannuan wasn’t my daughter, Huanhuan wouldn’t have to call me that.”
“Don’t misunderstand,” Mrs. Zhang said. “I’m just afraid that Nuannuan won’t be able to accept it.”
“Does everyone have to yield to her just because she can’t accept it?” he retorted. “She’s so selfish and doesn’t have any structure; no wonder the Lis don’t like her!”
When Zhang Huanhuan heard the two of them arguing, she was overjoyed.
“Dad, how can you say that?” she deliberately said. “Eldest Miss will definitely find someone better.”
“If she can’t even accept her own younger sister, how can she be worthy of being our family’s eldest daughter?” said Mr. Zhang angrily.
“Dad, don’t insult Eldest Miss anymore,” Zhang Huanhuan said.
He interrupted her, “Huanhuan, you’re too similar to your mother. You’re both so kind and sensible, and that’s why you’re always getting stepped on. From now on, you and Zhang Nuannuan are equal in this family. You don’t have to call her Eldest Miss.. If you can’t accept calling her your sister, just use her full name!”
