"Smack—"
Lin Chuxia reached out and blocked Xie Jinya's hand before it could fall.
"You actually dare to fight back? You've really gone too far!" Xie Jinya was unable to get her way and tried to switch to her other hand, but Lin Chuxia dodged her attacks each time.
Lin Chuxia was unwilling to fight Xie Jinya, but that didn't mean she would stay put and obediently take the beating like last time.
Xie Jinya's attack failed, and she almost threw herself out. Enraged, she cursed loudly on the spot: "You wretched girl, you really are an ingrate! I should never have taken you back in the first place! Why didn't you just die out there!"
Xie Jinya was so angry that she lost her temper and said things she shouldn't have, probably without even realizing what she had just said.
An Mingyu, standing behind Xie Jinya, was stunned. He never expected that his gentle and dignified mother could say such vicious words.
He pulled off the pillowcase covering his head and subconsciously looked at Lin Chuxia, only to find that her face was expressionless, devoid of joy or sorrow, just cold indifference.
An Mingyu suddenly felt a little scared. He didn't like staying at home and usually went out with friends, so he didn't know what his second sister's life was like.
After all, she's his second sister, his parents' own daughter, so she must be doing pretty well, right? But now, the situation seems to be the opposite of what he thought.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that his mother has never been kind to his second sister. She usually speaks to her with anger or scolds. At first, he simply thought that his second sister had done something wrong to upset his mother, but now...
"Mingyu, hold her down right now. I'm going to teach her a lesson today!"
An Mingyu's face turned somewhat pale: "Mom..."
Even if my second sister did something wrong, Mom shouldn't have said those things. How much pain must she be feeling now...?
"What are you standing there for? Hold her down! This brat pushed your sister down the stairs last time, and now she's bullying her again. If we don't teach her a lesson, who knows what she'll do next!"
"I won't!" Even if it's wrong for the second sister to bully the older sister, it's also wrong for Mom to scold the second sister like that.
Moreover, making him hold his second sister down to call his mother... how is this any different from the scene where he was bullied by his classmates in class?
An Mingyu refused without hesitation. Fearing that Xie Jinya would continue to pressure him, he simply turned around and left the scene.
From the moment he appeared until he left, he didn't even glance at An Mingzhu on the ground, probably having already forgotten about it.
An Mingyu was unwilling to cooperate, and Xie Jinya couldn't beat Lin Chuxia by herself, so she could only make threats.
"Mom, Mom, please get me some clean clothes!" Although the bed sheet covering her looked clean, it was probably just An Mingzhu's imagination; she only felt itchy.
But she didn't dare to just throw off the covers and stand up, since Lin Chuxia's words were still echoing in her ears.
Xie Jinya hesitated, "I'm afraid she'll bully you again if I leave her. How about I ask Xiao Li to come up and help you get it..."
An Mingzhu refused outright: "No! Mom, you go get it for me! Don't worry, it was just a misunderstanding, Chu Xia won't do anything to me again!"
If the servants were to come up, wouldn't they see her in this state?
Absolutely not.
Otherwise, how will she establish her authority in the An family in the future?
