These things are a regular occurrence whenever she misbehaves.

But now, she has the courage to refuse; she will no longer be oppressed by Xiangqi.

“Miss Xiang, this is the Murong family home. Our mistress is in charge here. Thank you.” Zhou Zhou interjected at the opportune moment. She spoke subtly, but her meaning was clear: this was Xiang Jin’s territory, and Xiang Jin was the most honored person here. It was not her place, an outsider, to act recklessly!

Xiang Qi also realized her mistake and blamed herself for speaking too quickly without thinking. She felt a surge of anger inside but dared not vent it.

Xiang Jin didn't want to waste any more time talking to her, so she took the dog and prepared to take a bath.

The bathing area was in the garden, and she was just passing by Xiang Qi when she saw the dog getting closer and closer. Inexplicably, fueled by pent-up anger, Xiang Qi stomped hard on Mei Ren Jiao's foot. She thought, "A cornered dog will bite. This stray dog ​​is closest to Xiang Jin; I'd better bite her hard to vent my anger."

Unexpectedly, when she kicked, the canna lily cried out in pain and bit Xiangqi's leg. Xiangqi, in pain, raised her other foot and kicked the canna lily in the stomach.

She was wearing high heels at the time.

All that could be heard was a loud cry from the canna lily as it tumbled down the stairs, landing right in front of Murong Xiao.

"Canna lily!"

Xiang Jin rushed over, but Murong Xiao picked up the dog first.

The canna lily cried out in pain and struggled violently in Murong Xiao's arms. Seeing that something was wrong, Zhou Zhou hurriedly went back to the room to get the medicine box. Hearing the commotion, Butler Feng, Aunt Yang, and everyone else in the villa came out.

"What are you doing."

Murong Xiao's eyes were colder than ever before.

He was genuinely angry.

Xiang Qi panicked instantly upon realizing what was happening. Could this be Murong Xiao's dog, and not some stray? But the dog was filthy; why would Murong Xiao like such a thing?!

She couldn't leave a bad impression right now, so her eyes reddened, and she innocently and pitifully explained, "Ah Xiao, it bit me, it hurts so much."

"I was in so much pain that I couldn't control my instincts... I'm sorry..."

Tears streamed down her face, and her cries broke everyone's hearts.

Xiang Jin looked at Xiang Qi's fair and slender legs, which didn't even have a red mark, let alone a bite mark. But seeing her crying like this, anyone who didn't know better would think that her own mother had died. She really had gone too far.

“You should apologize to it.” Xiang Jin walked over, scooped the dog into her arms, and said in a commanding tone.

The dog found a comfortable position in Xiang Jin's arms and started whimpering again.

"What? Apologize to it? Ah Jin, are you kidding me? It's just a dog." She actually wants Xiang Qi to apologize to a dog.

“It’s practically the owner of this villa, it’s my precious darling. You kicked it and injured it, shouldn’t you apologize?”

But it bit me too!

Everyone remained silent.

Xiang Qi then looked at Murong Xiao: "Ah Xiao... it bit me too. It really hurts. Will it leave a scar? What if it leaves a scar? Will I never be able to step onto the design stage again? Will my life be ruined...?"

“You really should apologize to it,” Murong Xiao interrupted her calmly.

Xiang Qi was stunned.

She thought Murong Xiao would side with her, but who would have thought he would favor a dog!

Looking around, everyone was staring at her with similar expressions, as if they were all waiting for her to apologize!

She's lived for over twenty years, growing up pampered and loved by everyone, and now she has to apologize to a dog!

This is an absolute humiliation, a tremendous humiliation!

However, these were Murong Xiao's words, how could she disobey them!

If they disobey, will they be kicked out of the villa in the next second? Wouldn't their plans and the Xiang family's plans all fall apart?

Thinking of this, Xiang Qi quickly calmed down, making herself look even more pitiful. She slowly walked up to the canna lily and whispered, "I'm sorry, I hope you can forgive me, okay?"

Instead, the dog howled in even greater resistance.

Xiang Jin hugged the dog tightly, gently comforting it. Zhou Zhou had already brought the first-aid kit; applying medicine to the dog was more important. Xiang Jin left with the canna lily in her arms, and Murong Xiao also got up.

"Ah Xiao, I..." Xiang Qi looked at Murong Xiao pitifully, but Murong Xiao didn't even lift his eyelids.

"By the way, my sister must be badly injured. Shouldn't we take her to the hospital for a check-up? It would be best if Mother could take care of her personally to avoid leaving any scars, don't you think?" Xiang Jin suddenly stopped at the top of the stairs.

"Huh? Let Mom do it?"

"Yes, Steward Feng, please send someone to pick him up tomorrow morning." Steward Feng said "Okay," and Xiang Jin went upstairs by himself, no longer caring about the mess downstairs.

Back in the room, the feigning pain immediately became lively again, wiggling her round bottom and looking at Xiang Jin happily, as if to say: See, I'm amazing, I acted so well.

Xiang Jin laughed, rubbing the dog's belly: "I knew you were faking it."

She knew very well what it was like when the dog was sick, and today's condition was obviously an act. However, she was secretly relieved that it was a false alarm. If Xiang Qi had really hurt the canna, she would have fought desperately.

The canna lily swayed its head and rubbed against Xiang Jin's chest, looking smug and self-satisfied.

"But you need to stay away from her from now on, understand? Until Mom kicks her out of the villa."

"Awoo." The dog barked twice, as if in agreement.

…………

In the afternoon, Xiang Jin used the excuse that Mei Renjiao needed to see a vet and took the dog out.

Zhou Zhou originally wanted to accompany her, but Xiang Jin refused.

"But the young master said he would definitely let us..."

"Just don't let him know," Xiang Jin interrupted Zhou Zhou.

After leaving the house, she didn't go to the hospital, but went straight to a coffee shop, ordered a coffee, and looked down at her phone.

A short while later, Jingjing, the servant of the Xiang family, appeared at the entrance of the coffee shop.

She looked around, saw Xiang Jin, smiled, and quickly walked over to sit opposite Xiang Jin.

"I ordered you a latte; I remember you like this flavor." Xiang Jin gestured to the waiter and handed the menu to Jingjing.

Jingjing quickly declined, her face showing fear. In her mind, Xiangjin was also a young lady of the Xiang family, and even if she was an adopted daughter, she should be respected and honored. As a servant, she should have the self-awareness of a servant, and how could she let her master spend money to treat her?

"Miss Jin, is there something you need from me today?"

"Can't I ask you out if there's nothing wrong? When we were in the Xiang family, Xiang Qi often bullied me, but you helped me a lot in private. I've always remembered that." Jingjing had been working for the Xiang family for a long time, and her mother had also worked there her whole life. She was the most honest and upright person, and the Xiang family trusted them both.

"This is what I should do," Jingjing said somewhat awkwardly.
