Chapter 1173 Like a Little Beast That Has Gone Mad

"You actually told me in front of me that she's just a child and I shouldn't bother with her? Are you out of your mind? If I remember correctly, she's the same age as Xiaxia, and she's even a year older than me. How dare you tell me in front of me that she's just a child? You should be the one telling your sister not to bully children!"

Qi Xuan was speechless after being rebuked. He tried to appease both sides, but it seemed he couldn't. They were now completely at odds.

He could only look to Fu Yanzun for help.

Fu Yanzun didn't want to make things too big, after all, the two families had always had a good relationship, and he didn't want to cause any unpleasantness over some private matters.

He walked to Tang Wan'er's side, put his arm around her shoulder, and said gently, "Wan'er, why don't we just let it go for now? After all, she is Qi Xuan's sister, and our two families have a very good relationship. It won't do anyone any good to break ties."

Tang Wan'er could overlook some issues, but some issues completely touched her sore spot. Xia Youxin was her sore spot, and no one could easily bully her.

She shoved Fu away.

Yan Zun said, “When problems arise, you always try to smooth things over. If you don’t address the root of the problem, Xia Xia will suffer the same fate again. And today’s incident has dragged me into it too? You only care about the interests of your two families. Who cares about the interests of both of us?”

Tang Wan'er has never had a particularly good temper. During this period, she has always behaved very obediently in front of Fu Yanzun, but that doesn't mean that her true nature has been completely worn away.

"Fu Yanzun, you said you would never let me be bullied under any circumstances. What does this mean? Are you just going to sit idly by and watch others bully me? So that's all I am to you. You really can't trust men's words. Today's incident was all because of you. Are you just going to watch me suffer in silence?"

Fu Yanzun hadn't expected Tang Wan'er to be so angry.

Given his relationship with Qi Xuan, he couldn't say anything too harsh to his sister. Besides, they both knew Qi Mengyao well; she had been spoiled rotten since childhood and was always arrogant and disrespectful. How could they possibly have the right to speak to her?

Is she capable of hearing that?

Fu Yanzun pulled Tang Wan'er into his arms, feeling quite upset. He hadn't expected to make her suffer again.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault. I didn't protect you well. I apologize to you, okay?"

At this moment, Tang Wan'er couldn't control her anger at all and pushed Fu Yanzun away.

“Apologizing isn’t always helpful. You hurt me and then apologize to me. Isn’t that like slapping me in the face and then giving me a sweet treat? Do you think I’m a child?”

Would this be useful to me?

Fu Yanzun, you should know my temper well. I'm not the kind of person who's unreasonable, nor do I get angry easily. But if someone crosses my bottom line, I won't just swallow my anger and let it go.

Xiaxia is my bottom line. Anyone who dares to bully her is going against me, not even you!

At this moment, Tang Wan'er was like a crazed little beast, baring her fangs at everyone. Anyone who dared to provoke her was likely to be attacked and bitten.
