Just as the two were about to start arguing again, someone came down from the second floor.
"What's going on? It's so noisy so early in the morning! Can't a person get any sleep?!"
Jiang Yuchen and Jiang Ningxi both turned their heads to look.
Lin Zhiyao, wearing a nightgown, came down from the second floor, yawning.
Jiang Yuchen frowned. "Zhiyao, what are you doing here? When did you arrive?"
Lin Zhiyao came downstairs and looked at him, pouting slightly, "Last night, I came too late, so you didn't know!"
When she saw Jiang Ningxi, she immediately snorted and turned her head away, looking like she didn't want to see her.
What are you doing here?!
"That's ridiculous. If you, an outsider, can be here, why can't I?" Jiang Ningxi replied with a cold laugh, arms crossed.
Lin Zhiyao bit her lip in anger, her chest heaving. "This is my aunt's house. I grew up here. I can come here every day."
"Big cousin, look! She's bullying me!"
Jiang Ningxi quickly raised her hand and touched her arm. "Ouch—I'm covered in goosebumps."
However, she should know who impersonated her to sign for the package.
"Hand over my things!"
Lin Zhiyao glared at her again, "What is this? It's so weird! What here is yours?"
"Aren't all your things with the Wang family?"
Jiang Ningxi looked at her coldly, "Stop talking nonsense. Did you sign for a package for me under my name last night?"
Lin Zhiyao immediately turned her face away, muttering, "Crazy, what kind of delivery is this!"
"I'm going upstairs to sleep!"
After saying that, she turned and went upstairs.
But Jiang Ningxi went to the stairs first and blocked her way.
He stared at her coldly, "I'm warning you, return what you took from me right now, or don't blame me for being rude!"
She hates nothing more than having her things taken from her.
Lin Zhiyao immediately laughed mockingly, put her hands on her hips and said, "That's funny. Even if I took it, what can you do to me?"
"I'm warning you, don't warn me, or I'll make you regret it!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she was slapped across the face.
Snap—
"I'm warning you, don't stop me from warning you, or I'll show you what I'm capable of!"
After Jiang Ningxi finished speaking, she spoke again in a cold voice, "Take the things out!"
Only then did Lin Zhiyao come to her senses from the pain.
Then she went completely berserk and screamed.
"Ah—you, you dare hit me, you dare hit me!"
"Do you know that no one has ever dared to hit me since I was a child?!"
"Now's the perfect time, let me show you what it feels like to get beaten up."
"It'll let you know that not everyone is afraid to warn you." Jiang Ningxi mimicked her earlier words, her fair face full of sarcasm.
Lin Zhiyao's eyes reddened with anger, and she raised her hand to slap him back.
However, Jiang Ningxi raised her hand and grabbed it.
Then, he slapped her on the other cheek.
Snap—
This time, Lin Zhiyao was even more frantic.
With disheveled hair, he ran towards Jiang Yuchen.
"Brother! Look, she hit me! She actually dared to hit me!"
Jiang Yuchuan looked at the five clearly visible finger marks on both sides of her face, and his forehead throbbed with pain.
Whatever he could do, he wouldn't dare to mess with that girl.
With a helpless sigh, he said, "Why did you provoke her in the first place?"
Lin Zhiyao started sobbing, "I... I just couldn't stand her bullying Xinyao! So I wanted to stand up for Xinyao."
[What an idiot! She treats Jiang Xinyao like a younger sister, but she's being used like a gun!]
[She deserved to be tricked into marrying an abusive man and beaten to death in the basement!]
Seeing that she could hear her voice even though she hadn't opened her mouth, Lin Zhiyao was so frightened that she covered her head even more.
He wanted to open his mouth to say something, but it was as if someone had choked him and he couldn't say anything.
If you force yourself to speak, the feeling of suffocation only intensifies.
Seeing that she was about to roll her eyes, Jiang Yuchen was startled.
I think Jiang Ningxi was right to scold him; he was just too stupid.
"Don't open your mouth, swallow what you want to say!"
Only then did Lin Zhiyao feel a little better.
She was about to ask Jiang Yuchen if he could hear her too when she was choked again, her eyes rolling back and forth.
Jiang Yuchen sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation.
"I told you to shut up! You still dared to say that! You want to see Grandma?"
Lin Zhiyao quickly shook her head, and once she had given up the idea of asking, she returned to normal.
That's terrifying!
What's wrong with Jiang Ningxi? She's so strange. Can she kill people without them even seeing her?
Before she could figure it out, she saw Lin Jiangyue coming down from upstairs.
She immediately ran over as if she had seen a savior.
She started crying and complaining, "Auntie! Look at my face! Jiang Ningxi dared to hit me!"
Lin Zhiyao did indeed spend a lot of time at the Jiang family home from a young age, and was watched over by Lin Jiangyue as she grew up.
Therefore, she doted on this niece.
Seeing that she had been beaten, my first reaction was to be furious.
They began to question Jiang Ningxi.
"Did you hit Zhiyao?"
Jiang Ningxi is willing to admit her mistakes since she dared to do them.
"I hit her because she stole my things!"
"Impossible, how could Zhiyao have stolen your things?" Lin Jiangyue's first reaction was disbelief.
Not only did she not believe that the child she raised would steal, but she also didn't believe that Jiang Ningxi had anything worth stealing.
Jiang Ningxi smiled and said, "Then you should ask her yourself if she stole the crown that Brother Big Dog bought for me!"
