Chapter 225: Chapter 225 Thank you for the reminder_1 Chapter 225: Chapter 225 Thank you for the reminder_1 “Think I’m afraid of you!” Nanfei yanked at her hair, causing Jiang Minmin’s face to contort in pain. She struggled hard, swinging and scratching wildly in the air, but her hair was held tight. She didn’t dare to move more vigorously because the more she moved, the more her scalp hurt.
Nanfei noticed Jiang Yang’s little trick, and couldn’t help but smile.
Such a smart, cute little brother!
“I told you to apologize to my brother. Did you hear that?” The cuter her little brother, the angrier she got at Jiang Minmin, raising her hand to slap her again. She put all her strength into this one, nearly losing her grip on Jiang Minmin’s long braid.
Jiang Minmin was slightly dizzy from the force of the slap. Insulting her at her work place, was something she couldn’t bear. She only got this job through connections. She couldn’t bear the shame, so she would apologize.
When she got home, she’d make Nanfei and that little fool pay.
She’d make them beg for mercy on their knees.
“I was wrong! I’m sorry, little fool…”
“Who’s the little fool? I dare you to say it again!”
“I am. I’m the little fool. I’m sorry, I was wrong, I apologize.”
Since Jiang Minmin had apologized, Nanfei did as she said and let go of her hair. But just as she was about to take a step back, Jiang Minmin, now free, swung her sharp manicured nails towards Nanfei’s face.
Everything happened so quickly that no one had time to react.
Zhuanzhuan, standing by all this time, opened her eyes wide in fear. It was already too late to warn Nanfei as Jiang Yang’s branch was already heading for Jiang Minmin’s hand at a faster speed.
But the branch was thin and had been swung many times, so it broke in mid-air before it could hit Jiang Minmin.
Nanfei opened her water-like eyes wide, watching as Jiang Minmin’s fingers reached out for her face and eyes. She instinctively raised her hand to block, but was a bit slower to react.
Just when she decided to protect her eyes and accept the fate of her face, the expected nails and pain didn’t come. Instead, Jiang Minmin’s screams echoed through the corridor.
To her surprise, when she opened her eyes, she saw Huo Beijiang’s handsome face right in front of her. A cold smile curled up at his lips, but there was no hint of humour in his eyes, only a piercing coldness.
He calmly held Jiang Minmin’s wrist with one hand.
“Wife, you’re so useless.” Huo Beijiang mercilessly expressed his disdain before a flicker of regret passed over his handsome face.
Had he been too harsh?
Would his little wife get angry?
Little Deer had said that to coax a wife, one must speak sweet words, not with a sharp and cutting tone, every word like a knife, every knife deadly.
“…” Could she answer that she was angry? But he was her savior after all. If she answered angrily, would that seem ungrateful?
Huo Beijiang immediately realized that his little wife was angry. He squinted his eyes and coaxed, “Sweetheart, don’t be angry! I didn’t mean anything. Actually, you’re very strong. It’s just that you’re not very strong physically, you’re too slow, you’re too indecisive, your actions lack…”
“Brother-in-law, don’t say any more.” Zhuanzhuan couldn’t stand it any longer, “This isn’t an explanation, you’re just adding fuel to the fire.”
“Little sister-in-law, thanks for the reminder.” Huo Beijiang winked at Nanfei. His thick and curling eyelashes, deep eyes, wildly attractive eyebrows, had absolutely deadly charm.
