Chapter 212: Chapter 212 Dazzling and Mystifying_1
If she hadn’t said that, He Shasha might have overlooked the previous matter. After all, though Little Tao was disgusting, she was far behind Jing Tong. But when she spoke now, it immediately reignited the anger He Shasha had managed to suppress.
Being spoiled since childhood, she always expressed her temper outright.
He Shasha took a few steps forward. Little Tao saw her coming and wanted to escape, but when she turned her head, she saw that her uncle, who had been leaning against the cabinet, had blocked her way.
He shrugged at her; his expressionless face sent shivers down Little Tao’s spine. More than the young mistress, she was afraid of the young mistress’s uncle.
He Shasha grabbed Little Tao’s hair and pushed her to the ground, the movement both swift and harsh. Immediately following that, she kicked Little Tao, cursing as she did, “I told you to act, why aren’t you acting now?”
“Miss, I admit my mistake, please spare me this time!” Little Tao covered her head on the ground and tried to escape. Somehow she ended up in front of a young man, grabbing his leg and pleading, “Uncle, Uncle, please help me.”
Leng Rui disdainfully withdrew his leg, stepping back three steps. He maintained a completely detached attitude, as he came today to support Shasha.
Seeing Little Tao in this state, He Shasha kicked her even harder. She had never lost a fight or smoking battle at school! She was a renowned little brat; if He Rongxi hadn’t kept her in check, deeming her behavior disgraceful, she could have been even worse.
“You can pretend to faint, can’t you? Show me, I want to see how you do it now.”
“Miss, I was wrong, ah ah ah ah…it hurts, Miss, I beg you, I will never dare again, really…ah…it hurts!” Little Tao cried out pitifully, her words filled with agony.
“Shasha, forget it! Why are you stooping to her level?” The man finally spoke.
Upon hearing this, Little Tao immediately gave him a captivating look.
A smile surfaced on Leng Rui’s face. He bent down, leaning closer to Little Tao, lifting her chin with his slender finger. “Tsk, tsk, tsk…these eyes are truly beautiful, but they’re useless on me.”
“Uncle, don’t bother with her,” He Shasha had long seen Little Tao as a thorn in her side.
Leng Rui ignored his niece, instead looking at Little Tao and continued, “These eyes are full of ambition and discontent, right?”
Little Tao was shocked, and cold sweat poured down her back.
“See, I wasn’t wrong.” Leng Rui seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes had a distant look. After a pause, he said, “Very similar to Jing Tong back in the day. But she’s old now, and you’re younger and have more to offer.”
Little Tao’s body couldn’t stop shaking, desperately trying to escape, but she couldn’t break free from Leng Rui’s grip on her chin. Her eyes welled up with tears as she looked at Leng Rui in a pitifully pleading manner.
“Uncle, I… I don’t understand what you’re saying. I’m just a servant, I don’t think of anything else.”
“So you wouldn’t want an opportunity I might give you? Like taking Jing Tong’s place, becoming the mistress of the He Family?”
As soon as He Shasha heard this, she yelled, “Uncle, what are you saying? How could such a vulgar woman be my stepmother?”
Without turning his head, Leng Rui lifted Little Tao’s chin a little higher, releasing a dazzling diamond necklace from his free hand. The egg-sized diamond dangled in front of Little Tao’s eyes.
It dazzled her, leaving her dazed.
“If you become the mistress of the He Family, you can have as much of this as you want.”
