Three against one, Bai Yanjiao had even received a slap on her face, with the clear print of five fingers in blood.
She rushed over with heartache, pulled Bai Yanjiao into her arms, and held her tight, like a cow protecting her calf, "What are you doing! An Hao, what do you want to do to your sister?"
"What do I want to do to her?" An Hao laughed as if she had heard the biggest joke, laughing until the corners of her eyes reddened, "Is it me who wants to do something to her, or is it you who want to do something to me? Bai Xue, Bai Yanjiao, where did I, An Hao, wrong you that you hate me so much? You won’t rest until you’ve ruined my life, will you? Will you!"
An Hao became agitated, and even her voice changed.
"What are you talking about? I don’t understand!" Bai Xue defended her daughter, denying the accusations An Hao made.
"Don’t understand! Don’t play dumb with me, what’s the deal with Yang Erdan?" An Hao pointed at Bai Yanjiao’s nose and questioned, "Dare you say it has nothing to do with you!"
"It has nothing to do with me! Not the slightest!" Anyway, nobody else knew, so Bai Yanjiao simply became defiant.
It was inappropriate for Qin Jian and Tian Niu to intervene in her family affairs, but they couldn’t leave at this moment either.
They had witnessed An Hao being bullied. The mother and daughter were so unreasonable and overbearing, and An Hao had also injured her foot; he was afraid An Hao would suffer a loss, so he quietly stood on the side and watched.
The noise in the courtyard was too loud, and it alarmed An Shuchao and An Ping out of their house.
With An Ping’s support, An Shuchao stood in the center of the courtyard on his crutches to inquire about the situation, "Good girl, what happened? Your foot..."
Seeing that his sister’s foot was swollen and that she dared not even firmly step on the ground, An Ping came up to support her with concern, "Sis, what happened to you? Who bullied you? Whoever dares to bully you, I’ll go and beat them up for you!"
It had been a long time since An Hao had felt warmth in this house. After her rebirth, all the warmth came from her brother. From initially being at odds with her to now taking the initiative to care for her, and even standing by her side to defend her rights, she was deeply moved and tears streamed down her cheeks.
She truly had enough of staying in this house and could no longer tolerate this mother and daughter.
At that moment, she made a decision.
She was determined to drive this mother and daughter pair out, even if she couldn’t get rid of them, she wouldn’t let them off easily!
"The ones who bullied me are right here!" She wiped the tears from her face and pointed at Bai Xue and her daughter, "There’s something dirty going on between Bai Xue and the production team leader Li Wangfu, which I discovered! I was afraid of upsetting Dad, so I kept it a secret. But I never expected that those two would collude with Li Wangfu to find Yang Erdan and two ruffians. They cornered me while I was up in the mountains picking wild vegetables, intending to beat me and ruin my face! If it weren’t for Captain Qin and Commander Tian happening upon the scene, I might be lying in a hospital right now, not standing here!"
An Hao couldn’t help but sob softly as she spoke.
Upon hearing this, An Shuchao felt as if his head had exploded; he couldn’t believe that the person beside his pillow would do such a thing behind his back.
"Xue, what An Hao said... Is it all true?"
Seeing An Shuchao get angry, Bai Xue’s entire face turned a purplish red, and her body trembled. She steeled her heart and clung to her lie without letting go.
"Old An! Don’t you know what kind of person I am? How could I possibly do something to betray you?"
