Xiao Tan was completely stunned. She was slapped several times in a row, and when she covered her face, she felt a burning pain on her face.
"Elder sister, is it really necessary to treat the maid so harshly? Why are you arguing with a maid? She's just being loyal to her mistress, why is she being accused of being a servant who is overbearing her master?"
Yan Linglong's face finally turned ugly, and her eyes turned cold.
Even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner. This isn't just beating her maid; it's slapping her in the face!
"What? You've already shown your true colors after just a few slaps? Are you angry? If you're so capable, hit me back! Come on, hit me, hit me!" Yan Qingxue sneered and leaned in to let Yan Linglong slap her.
Yan Linglong clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into her palms, and bit her lip.
Seeing Yan Linglong's restrained expression, Yan Qingxue sneered, "Stop looking all wronged here. You came here to be humiliated, so don't blame anyone. Why didn't you just stay away?" As she spoke, she glanced at Xiao Tan, who was covering her cheek and had tears welling up in her eyes, her face expressionless.
"And you, little maid, stop looking all unwilling, resentful, and aggrieved here."
It wasn't me who invited you and your servant to come here. Since you say that your father sent you, then go find your father. Why are you being so hostile towards me?
I didn't invite you here. You've come here to be abused. You deserve it. You know I don't like you, yet you still come here. What else could I be but someone who's deliberately trying to annoy you?
"If your young lady doesn't want to come to our door, let her talk to her father and refuse him. If he can't handle it, she comes to me to try and settle things, right? You're just picking on the weak, thinking I'm easy to bully, aren't you?"
Xiao Tan pursed her lips tightly, her head almost buried in her chest, tears streaming down her face.
"Little sister, do you think what I said is right?" Yan Qingxue glanced at Yan Linglong's face, which was full of forbearance, and smiled sarcastically.
"Big sister, I didn't come here for any other reason than to join in the fun with everyone."
"Join in the fun? Oh? That sounds nice, but look at the people here. Do you know anyone here? Besides the young master of the He family, who else do you know? Why do you need to come here and join in the fun? What part of the fun are you here for? Just don't come here and cause me any trouble, and I'll be thankful and everything will go smoothly."
Yan Qingxue's domineering attitude made Helsin, who was sitting to the side, click his tongue in disapproval. This Miss Yan was quite capable of causing trouble. How could she give her younger sister such a hard time in front of outsiders? This was a rather unseemly thing to do.
Anning couldn't bear to watch either. Seeing the little girl looking so wronged, she didn't seem to be very old, probably about the same age as her.
He licked his lips, couldn't help but cough lightly, and glanced at Anle.
My younger sister is a guest invited by Miss Yan, so she should be given some face.
Those who came along to have fun naturally didn't feel comfortable speaking up. Only the younger sister could ease the tension by saying a few kind words.
Anning was hinting at this to Anle, but Anle was sitting comfortably in her chair, legs crossed, eating red date cake, seemingly completely ignoring the tense atmosphere. Her calm and collected attitude seemed unusually harmonious in the tense situation, as if nothing was wrong.
An Ning felt incredibly embarrassed for her. Was her little sister brainless? Or deaf? Or blind?
Can't you feel the atmosphere right now?
Have your five senses malfunctioned? Or have your senses failed you?
Qiao Zhishu was always kind and gentle, but seeing Yan Qingxue treating his sister so harshly, his face showed obvious anger. Although he had no right to interfere in other people's family affairs, no one could stand by and watch such a thing happen.
This is blatant bullying. They just came to sit for a while and didn't do anything. What's wrong with that?
“Miss Yan, you’ve gone a bit too far.” Qiao Zhishu’s face was filled with anger as she suddenly stood up, drawing a glance from An Le. An Le turned her head to look at Qiao Zhishu, licked her lips, and paused for a moment—
Holy crap!
Could it be that her cousin, who always keeps quiet about everything, is going to stand up for Yan Linglong?
Look at the accusing look in her cousin's eyes. It's very obvious. If he stands up for her, wouldn't his relationship with Miss Yan be ruined?
Didn't you see how annoyed this Miss Yan was with Yan Linglong? She even wanted to stand up for her. What does this have to do with her? She's just meddling in other people's business.
"Cousin, you should try this, it tastes really good." Anle stood up, tiptoed, and popped one into Qiao Zhishu's mouth.
Yan Qingxue paused for a moment, then stared at Qiao Zhishu for a couple of seconds. No matter how much she fawned over him earlier, it was no use; he completely ignored her. But now that she was confronting that little bitch Yan Linglong, he was no longer avoiding her.
You even spoke up for them?
Oh!
"Are you taking a liking to this little bitch because she looks like a delicate white flower, all pitiful and endearing? So you're speaking up for her? Taking her side?" Yan Qingxue angrily pointed at Yan Linglong's nose and pressed Qiao Zhishu for answers. Qiao Zhishu would speak up for anyone, but not for this little bitch. This little bitch was the person she hated the most, without exception.
“You are simply unreasonable and rude. Why should I deliberately speak up for her? Any fair person can see who is making things difficult for whom and who is bullying whom. I am being biased against fairness.”
Anle sighed, "What's with this idiot pretending to be a messenger of justice? Does he even need to babble around here?"
This is absolutely infuriating!
"Cousin, we're here as guests." The implication is clear: why are you meddling in their family affairs?
Besides, without knowing any of the details, how can you presume to criticize and blame Miss Yan based on fragmented information?
She could tell that Miss Yan was straightforward. Someone with Miss Yan's personality would never dislike someone for no reason; there must have been something that caused her to react this way.
Moreover, Yan Linglong is too pretentious and aloof, and Yan Qingxue looks down on her. It seems that Yan Linglong is in a weak position now, but it is Yan Qingxue who is provoked to the point of losing control of her emotions.
She never thought that Yan Linglong would be the kind of kind-hearted little lamb that everyone could bully.
The spectacle, the pomp, and the momentum I witnessed at the Greentown Auction House clearly indicated that I was not someone who could be easily bullied.
Her cousin's judgment of people and things is too one-sided; he only looks at the surface without investigating the details and blindly sticks up for others.
