Novel Bin Chapter 5
Chapter 5
“What do you mean by it was an accident? I think you’re doing this deliberately! What a slut!”
Chen Qinglian raised her hand and wanted to slap Jiang Yining and teach her a good lesson.
However, she did not expect Jiang Yining to grab her arm. Although she was skinny and small, she was very strong.
Chen Qinglian struggled with all her might, but she was unable to break free. She shouted angrily, “Let go!”
“Auntie, I’m not someone to be trifled with. I won’t argue with you this time since you’re Lu Zhi’s elder. However, if you dare to attack me again… even if Lu Zhi was here, I wouldn’t show mercy.”
Jiang Yining smiled and pushed her away.
Chen Qinglian took a few steps back before stabilizing herself. Rubbing her swollen wrist, she said sternly, “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll tell Ah Zhi that you treated me this way?”
“Go ahead and tell him. Let’s see if he believes you or me?”
“You…”
Chen Qinglian suddenly felt a little unconfident when she saw how confident she was.
Lu Zhi’s personality was different from the others. He was stubborn and once he set his eyes on someone, he would definitely treat her well for the rest of his life.
Could it be that this little girl had secretly used some special method to make Ah Zhi fall in love with her, which was why she was so confident?
Just as Chen Qinglian was muttering in her heart, Jiang Yining caught a glimpse of a tall figure in the courtyard from the corner of her eye. Her eyes rolled, and her expression changed. She took a step forward calmly and clung onto her arm pitifully.
“I’m sorry, Auntie. I really didn’t mean to spill the water. Please forgive me.”
Chen Qinglian was baffled.
Could it be that this girl had schizophrenia? How could she change so quickly?
“What are you doing?”
“I’m sorry.”
Jiang Yining’s voice was soft and she looked extremely helpless.
Chen Qinglian had never thought of making things difficult for her.
As long as this lass didn’t think too highly of herself and wanted to marry Ah Zhi, everything would be fine!
“Since you know that you are in the wrong, then leave Ah Zhi. I can let bygones be bygones for what you did just now.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a familiar voice sounded in the air.
“Aunt Chen.”
Chen Qinglian looked around and saw Lu Zhi in a black suit standing at the entrance of the living room with a serious expression on his face. His gaze was fixed on them.
For some reason, she felt a chill in her heart.
“Hubby, you’re finally back.” Jiang Yining’s frail body trembled as she jogged a few steps and ran straight into Lu Zhi’s arms. She said in an aggrieved voice, “They said that I’m not worthy of you and told me to leave the Lu family and stop pestering you.” Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.𝘤𝑜𝓂 for the best novel reading experience
Lu Zhi glanced at the little girl in his arms and wanted to raise his hand to pull her away.
However, Jiang Yining’s small and skinny body stuck to him like an octopus.
Jiang Yining used all her strength to hold onto Lu Zhi. She raised her head, gritted her teeth, and whispered, “You promised me that you would protect me and not let anyone bully me. A gentleman’s word is a promise, and whoever goes back on his word is a puppy!”
“She bullied me just now. If you dare to help her, you’ll be a puppy…”
Under Lu Zhi’s sharp gaze, the last three words were gradually whispered.
Chen Qinglian was worried that Lu Zhi would be bewitched by this little vixen, so she rushed forward and said, “Ah Zhi, listen to my explanation. It’s not what she said.”
“Then what is it?”
Lu Zhi’s voice did not fluctuate, and there was no hint of anger in his tone.
Chen Qinglian had personally taken care of him for nearly thirty years and knew his temper very well.
The calmer Lu Zhi was, the angrier he was.
Chen Qinglian sensed that something was wrong. She composed herself and put on a kind face as she explained, “I heard that she came looking for you and used her grandfather’s life-saving grace as a threat to force you to marry her. Ah Zhi, my heart ached for you, so I was asking her about the situation.”
“I never expected that this girl would be disrespectful to me the moment she arrived. She even spilled tea all over me…”
Chen Qinglian showed her drenched clothes.
Jiang Yining snuggled into Lu Zhi’s arms and said timidly, “I didn’t splash her on purpose. The housekeeper and this auntie told me to stand up fiercely, so I listened to them and stood up. I wanted to pour a cup of water, but she suddenly came over. I was shocked and accidentally spilled the tea.”
She turned to look at Chen Qinglian. Her beautiful and harmless eyes were filled with tears.
