Pfft! Zhu Hengtai couldn’t help but burst out laughing, "You girl... Okay then, I’ll accept this half, from now on, we’re comrades..."
Yang Ruxin also laughed along.
In the room, Qian Er was vividly recounting Yang Ruxin’s domineering actions just now, and the kids were all boiling with excitement.
"Alright, let’s eat," Yang Ruxin said as she walked in and gestured with her hands.
"Sister..." The kids rushed over to Yang Ruxin as she entered, "Are you alright?"
"I’m fine." Yang Ruxin pinched the cheeks of the little girls one by one, "But I guess that fatso might not be so lucky."
"Xinxin, I heard that man’s family is very powerful. What if...?" Xun Hui said worriedly, "Fighting is always not good; you should talk it out or maybe..."
Hehe..." Yang Ruxin chuckled, "Mother, how about you go and reason with them next time?"
"I..."
"They are bullies, do you think reason will get through to them?" Yang Ruxin rolled her eyes, "Even the Yang Family, who are our relatives, did you ever reason with them?"
Xun Hui looked conflicted.
"If I dared to take him on, I’m not afraid of what comes after. Besides, just because we’re afraid, should we let others bully us? Or do you think that by begging for mercy on the ground before the bad guys they would spare us?"
"I..."
"Mother, after all we’ve been through, don’t you understand?" Yang Ruxin sighed, "Sometimes, with some people, they just don’t have a heart of mercy... I won’t start a fight when it’s time to reason, but when I can fight, I definitely won’t just talk..."
"Mother knows..."
"Remember, as long as you cannot protect yourselves, as long as big sister is here, no one will be allowed to bully you," Yang Ruxin’s gaze swept over her siblings, "No one at all."
"Sister, when I grow up, I’ll protect you," Xiaofeng pursed his lips, but his tone was very determined.
"If you want to protect big sister, then you must work hard to make yourself strong. Only when you’re strong enough can you protect yourself and others. Like today, if big sister hadn’t been tough, she couldn’t have defended you at all..."
The kids nodded vigorously.
"Xinxin, I will also protect our siblings in the future," Zhou Xiao clenched his fist.
"You did well today," Yang Ruxin smiled, "Does your face still hurt?"
Zhou Xiao shook his head; the medicine Mengmeng applied didn’t hurt at all.
"Sister, the person who hit Dabao earlier deserves to be hacked to pieces," Sanni said through gritted teeth.
"Ay ya, Mengmeng, you didn’t see it. That person’s face got lashed by Xinxin’s whip. It’ll probably take three months to go down..." Qian Er hurriedly spoke with glee, "You didn’t see it, that whip was like it had eyes of its own, crackling so vigorously, it was thrilling to watch..."
"That’s more like it," Sanni immediately felt cheerful.
The corner of Yang Ruxin’s mouth twitched. This little Sanni had been completely led astray, but she had no intention of correcting her. As long as they remained pure at heart, a little violence wasn’t all bad.
The private rooms on the second floor of Taibai Building were relatively secluded, with one side facing the street and the other overlooking the backyard of Taibai Building. Yang Ruxin’s yard faced the street, so the one opposite was facing the backyard.
At that moment, in the room opposite theirs, a handsome man in brocade from the window returned to the table, his face full of interest: "I didn’t expect to find such an interesting girl here."
