Chapter 403 Your Aunt Will Stand Up for You

Jiang Ting was stunned for a moment when she heard Zhiqi's words, but she quickly realized what he meant.

"Did Jiang Ning really hit you?"

After saying that, she immediately reached out and grabbed Huo Zhiqi's arm to look at him repeatedly.

Confirm whether there is indeed an injury on his arm.

Jiang Ting carefully examined the injury on his arm, confirming that it was a real injury, and a smile appeared on her lips.

She raised her hand to pat Huo Zhiqi's head, but he dodged it.

Jiang Ting wasn't angry. Instead, she reached out and patted him on the shoulder. "Don't worry, your aunt will stand up for you about your mother hitting you."

"Auntie, really?" Huo Zhiqi looked at her hopefully. "Mom hits me so hard every time she hits me. I don't want to be hit anymore. How can you help me?"

"Of course your aunt will help you." Jiang Ting believed him when she saw the sorrow on his face.

Then he asked, "Zhiqi, what time will you be home tomorrow?"

Huo Zhiqi said, "I won't go home until after school tomorrow."

Jiang Ting smiled and said, "Okay, tomorrow when you get home from school, your aunt will bring an uncle to your house. You must remember to show that uncle the injury on your hand, okay?"

Huo Zhiqi's eyes flickered. "Okay, Auntie."

Jiang Ting said, "Okay, Auntie is going back to the group now. Remember, Auntie will help you."

After speaking, Jiang Ting turned around, and the friendly smile on her face turned into a sneer and sarcasm.

She finally found an opportunity to let Jiang Ning experience what it felt like to be pointed at and talked about.

Huo Zhiqi watched Jiang Ting's retreating figure and a smile appeared on his face.

He didn't mean to target his mother, who was nominally his older sister, but she shouldn't have hit her younger brother.

At that time, his younger brother's face was swollen from being pinched by this wicked woman, and he wanted to tell his mother about it.

But then I thought about how this wicked woman was pregnant, and how my parents were adults, so they certainly couldn't do anything to a pregnant woman.

But we can't just let this bad woman's act of pinching her brother go!

Huo Zhiqi looked at the injury on his arm; he had deliberately fallen and hurt himself today.

The injury wasn't serious.

He immediately ran home and took out his family's first-aid kit.

The medicine cabinet contains many medicines prepared by his mother. When he and his father practice boxing, he often accidentally hurts himself.

But after applying the medicine my mother prepared, the bruises on my arm healed completely overnight.

At this moment, Shen Mo returned with his wife and two children.

Jiang Ning frowned when she saw the injury on Zhiqi's arm and walked over. "Zhiqi, did someone bully you?"

Huo Zhiqi quickly said, "Mom, don't worry, I just accidentally fell while practicing boxing and that's how I got like this."

Jiang Ning picked up the medicine from the side and carefully applied it while saying, "Practicing boxing is not something that can be done overnight. If you injure your bones, it will affect your future."

Hearing his mother's gentle voice, Zhiqi's eyes reddened slightly.

How could such a good mother have such a bad sister!

He will definitely protect his mother and younger siblings.

Jiang Ning had no idea that the child was thinking about how to protect her.

Just as I finished applying the medicine to Zhiqi, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Zhiqi rushed over and opened the door, and Sister-in-law Li walked in.

She seemed a little flustered. "Sister Jiang, can I ask you for a favor?"

As Jiang Ning tidied up the ointment, she asked, "Sister-in-law Li, is there anything I can help you with?"

"It's about my daughter, Xingyue."

As Li's sister-in-law spoke, she glanced at Shen Mo.

Shen Mo originally thought it was a matter where he would be needed, but when he heard it was a matter between the women, he obediently went to the kitchen to cook dinner.

Jiang Ning closed the medicine box and looked away from it. "Sister-in-law Li, what's wrong with Xingyue?"

When Li's wife mentioned her daughter, she sighed, "Xingyue was expelled from the art troupe today. She went home and locked herself in, and she won't tell us how she was expelled."

Expelled?

Although Jiang Ning was not a member of the military, she knew that the cultural troupe was also under the command of the military. The military had strict discipline and could not easily dismiss people.

Li Xingyue is a diligent and polite girl; how could she possibly make a mistake?

“I’ve cooked dinner and called her, but she won’t come out to eat. I’m really worried she might do something drastic.” Aunt Li said with a worried expression. Then she looked up at Jiang Ning and said, “Jiang Ning, Xingyue is only a few years younger than you. Could you talk to her for me? Maybe she’ll be willing to talk to you.”

Jiang Ning thought for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, I'll go check on Xingyue."

As she spoke, she looked at Lezhi below, "Zhizhi, tell your dad that Mommy went to Aunt Li's house next door and will be back in a little while."

"Okay," Lezhi replied in her childish voice.

Jiang Ning followed Sister Li into her house.

Sister-in-law Li led Jiang Ning to Li Xingyue's door. "Xingyue, Mom has prepared dinner. Come out and have some. Your sister Jiang has come to see you too."

As soon as Sister Li finished speaking, the door was opened.

Li Xingyue didn't look very well, but she was surprised to see Jiang Ning. "Sister Jiang, what brings you here?"

“Your mother said you’ve locked yourself in your room and won’t come out; she’s worried about you.” Jiang Ning patted her shoulder. “What happened at the performing arts troupe?”

Seeing Jiang Ning reminded Li Xingyue of Jiang Ting.

Looking at the face in front of her that bore a resemblance to Jiang Ting, she thought to herself, how could two people with completely different personalities be sisters?

Sister Jiang Ning is beautiful and kind, while Jiang Ting is so hypocritical.

Sister-in-law Li was genuinely worried about her daughter. "Xingyue, what happened at the troupe? If you don't want to tell your mother, can you talk to your sister Jiang? Locking yourself at home alone, what if you get sick from it?"

Li Xingyue hadn't intended to cry, but upon hearing her mother's words and seeing her mother's furrowed brows in worry, the pent-up grievances in her heart suddenly burst forth.

She burst into tears, feeling utterly wronged.

She hugged her mother tightly and spilled the beans, telling her everything about how Jiang Ting had led the attack on her and how she had abused her power for personal gain, resulting in her dismissal.

Li's sister-in-law was stunned; she never expected her daughter to be targeted like this in the performing arts troupe.

Sister-in-law Li had a short temper. Her face was cold as she shouted, "Fair competition is the norm in the troupe. How dare Jiang Ting use her position for personal gain? With my fiery temper, I'm going to confront her and demand an explanation!"

Seeing her roll up her sleeves and about to leave, Li Xingyue quickly grabbed her, "Mom, I've already been fired, and Jiang Ting is pregnant. If you go and cause trouble for her, she'll blame you if something happens to her. You should also think about Dad."

Li Xingyue's considerations were quite comprehensive.

During this period, Jiang Ting relied on the fact that she had a researcher father, a battalion commander husband, and that she was pregnant, so no one in the cultural troupe dared to go against her.

Most people fawned over her.

Those who didn't support Jiang Ting kept their distance.

After all, Jiang Ting is pregnant now, and if something happens to her, everyone is afraid of getting into trouble.

So when she heard that her mother was going to make trouble for Jiang Ting, she quickly stopped her.
