Chapter 104: Chapter 47: Persuasion_3
Ma Linlin flew into a rage, shoving Brother Zheng to the ground, “You lowlife, how dare you touch me?” Ma Linlin absolutely despised Brother Zheng.
Brother Zheng fell painfully but still got up, wanting to hit Ma Linlin. Yueyao, watching a person running towards them from a distance, yet hugging the fallen Brother Zheng, cried, “Cousin Miss, what have I done to make you hit someone?”
Nanny Deng also noticed something was amiss and, looking towards Mu Qiu and Hua Lei who were restraining Ma Linlin, gave them a signal. They immediately released Ma Linlin. Free, Ma Linlin prepared to take a fierce revenge.
However, before her hand could come down, it was grabbed. Then a slap landed on her face. Ma Linlin was stunned, muttering, “Dad, you are hitting me, you are hitting me.”
Ma Chengteng’s face turned green with fury, and he said to the people around, “Take her back. Without my permission, if she takes one step outside, I’ll break your legs.”
As Ma Linlin was being dragged away, she yelled loudly, “Dad, you’re biased. You actually hit me for a home-wrecking jinx. You jinx, you curse. I’m telling you, I won’t let this go. Lian Yueyao, I will never forgive you.”
Yueyao, hugging the fallen Brother Zheng, they both cried miserably. Ma Chengteng was infuriated by Ma Linlin’s words, wondering how he had such a wicked daughter. Seeing Yueyao with her hair disheveled, sitting on the ground, he quickly calmed down and helped Yueyao into the house.
Ma Peng directly carried Brother Zheng into the house. Yueyao had no injuries, but Brother Zheng had been scraped. Luckily, they were only superficial.
Yueyao still spoke for Ma Linlin, “Uncle, I think Cousin definitely misunderstands me. She’s just hot-headed now. Once she cools down, I’ll apologize to her.”
After hearing Yueyao’s words, Ma Chengteng felt a deep ache. Yueyao was also a dearly pampered young lady, but in just half a year, this child had become so cautious, suffering so much. But talking more about these household matters was useless. It only served to comfort Yueyao. Yueyao shook her head, understandingly saying, “Uncle, don’t worry, I’m fine.”
After Ma Chengteng and Ma Peng left, Yueyao tended to Brother Zheng’s wounds, seeing his face contorted in pain. She helped by blowing on it, “Silly boy, she’s so much bigger than you; what if she really hurt you? What then?”
Brother Zheng declared boldly, “No matter how strong she is, I’m not afraid. I have to protect sister and not let bad people bully her.”
Yueyao was moved by his words, and Nanny Deng was also very relieved.
After speaking, Brother Zheng looked at Yueyao with hesitation and fear in his eyes. Yueyao understood he was confused, “Brother Zheng, remember, you are dad’s son, and you are my brother. No matter what others say, you must remember these two points. Understand?”
Brother Zheng nodded.
Yueyao took the opportunity to say some words to Brother Zheng. Being in a weaker position, he needed to protect himself and not be reckless. Like today, although she was happy, she was also very worried. He should prioritize his own safety first and help her when he was capable.
Although Brother Zheng didn’t fully understand, he kept it in his heart.
Yueyao returned to her room, looking at Nanny Deng, who hesitated to speak, “Mom, what do you want to say?” There were probably many questions. The most wanting to ask, why have things changed so much now.
Nanny Deng felt sad about the young lady’s change but knew it was out of necessity. If it weren’t so, how would Cousin Miss learn her lesson? “Mom is just heartbroken for you.”
Yueyao smiled and shook her head, “Mom, don’t worry, I’m fine.” It was just the beginning. She would eventually have to face the treacherous Lady family, these scenes now were just child’s play, barely a warm-up.
The Lian family, Yueyao thought about returning to the Lian family tomorrow, thinking about meeting the Lady family, felt depressed. The rules at the Ma family might not be as strict as at the Lian family, but in the Ma family, she could relax. At the Lian family, Yueyao sighed wryly. If possible, she would love to leave the Lian family and live on her own with Brother Zheng, but unfortunately, that was not possible. The Lian family couldn’t bear such a reputation. Life, always so full of frustrations.
