Chapter 805: 206: Bullied Zheng Xianjing, unsightly manners_3 Chapter 805: 206: Bullied Zheng Xianjing, unsightly manners_3 “Xianjing, stop crying,” Zheng Lingling comforted her.
She too hadn’t expected such a thing to happen.
She thought today Zheng Xianjing was going to be the highlight of the evening, but instead, she became the laughingstock of the whole event.
Who would have thought that Ni Yang would turn out to be Mr. Du’s life-saver!
Zheng Xianjing cried bitterly, and Sun Wu was also frustrated, chain-smoking, “I told you long ago that your plan wouldn’t work. When facing someone like Mr. Du, you should cling tightly to him! But the two of you insisted on playing hard to get! Now look, you’ve messed up and gained nothing for your efforts!”
He had even thought about becoming Mr. Du’s father-in-law!
Zheng Lingling scolded, “Your daughter is , and you still have the mood to make sarcastic remarks! Are you still human?”
Zheng Xianjing cried, “It’s all that bitch Ni Yang’s fault! She stole my thing! Clearly, I was Mr. Du’s life-saver, there must be something fishy going on! It was that bitch Ni Yang seducing Mr. Du! Definitely!”
Why did all the good things fall into Ni Yang’s lap?
Why was she the one who became the joke?
Zheng Xianjing truly couldn’t accept it!
She extremely loathed Ni Yang.
Zheng Lingling said, “Yes, Xianjing, you’re right! That Ni Yang is the bane of our family of three! First, she took our family fortune, and now even your credit! Don’t worry, mom won’t let her get away with it! We still have a long way to go!”
Tonight, although the Zheng Family had their moment, they also lost face.
After the banquet ended, Master Zheng’s expression was grim as he told the servant, “Go and call down the madam and miss!”
“Yes,” the servant went upstairs to call them.
Shortly after, Zheng Lingling and Zheng Xianjing came down from upstairs.
The mother and daughter had changed into plain clothes, looking somewhat haggard, especially Zheng Xianjing, whose eyes were swollen from crying.
“Father,” Zheng Lingling took the initiative to speak.
Master Zheng with a stern face, said, “Explain this situation.”
He hadn’t managed affairs in many years, and his sudden stern expression was very oppressive.
Zheng Lingling continued, “Dad, this incident is all my fault, I didn’t teach Xianjing well. If you want to blame someone, blame me. Xianjing is still young, please don’t blame her!”
“Young?” Master Zheng looked up at Zheng Lingling, “You have the audacity to say that! If I’m not mistaken, Yangyang is even two years younger than her. Look at her, and then look at Yangyang! Is this the daughter you’ve raised over the years?”
Zheng Lingling turned pale.
In what ways was Zheng Xianjing inferior to Ni Yang?
Just because she wasn’t as seductive as Ni Yang?
He never doubted Ni Yang!
Without even investigating, he assumed it was Zheng Xianjing’s fault.
If this continued, it wouldn’t be long before their family of three would be kicked out of the house.
Zheng Lingling clenched her fingers.
Zheng Xianjing knelt down, “Grandfather, I’m sorry, it’s my fault, I let greed cloud my judgment. I shouldn’t have boasted about being Mr. Du’s life-saver, causing our Zheng Family such disgrace! You can beat or scold me!”
Master Zheng then said, “Bring the family discipline.”
“Yes.” The servant bowed and went upstairs to fetch the family discipline.
The Zheng Family’s discipline was a leather whip, as thick as an adult’s forefinger, which would certainly bruise and break the skin when lashed.
Zheng Lingling got a fright, her face turned pale.
Zheng Xianjing was frail, how could she withstand such a thick whip?
Indeed, one wouldn’t know to cherish if not their own blood. If it were Ni Yang, would Master Zheng have allowed someone to bring such a thick whip?
Today, Zheng Xianjing made such a mistake, and if she didn’t suffer some consequences, Master Zheng couldn’t justify it to the outside world.
Moreover, the child really did need to be disciplined, otherwise, who knows what she might become!
Master Zheng raised the whip and lashed it down on Zheng Xianjing.
Zheng Xianjing, terrified, tightly closed her eyes.
The whip was so painful that Zheng Xianjing cried out in pain; she had been pampered since she was a child and had never experienced such beating.
When the second lash came, Zheng Lingling timely shielded Zheng Xianjing, and the whip hit her instead.
When Master Zheng was angry, Mrs. Zheng stayed silent, just watching the mother and daughter by the side.
