Chapter 136 - Stepping In The Family Matters (1)

Lihua frowned. "No yelling. This is not how you say sorry. Say it gently like how Aunt asks about you. Don't say it like you are doing some favor on her," she glared at him.

Ruomei stared at her and looked at her stunned. She had the guts to scold Jiang Fai. She had an urge to laugh but she held it in.

Lixue is so stupid. Wasn't her challenge to win everybody here? How is she gonna do that if she is acting so violently like that? She has already lost even before she began!

The Old Madam quietly stared at her too and observed her. She smirked at her stupid behavior.

If this witch acts like this, then maybe I don't even have to lift a finger to destroy her.

An angry vein popped on Jiang Fai's forehead as he hatefully glowered at her. "I already said sorry!"

Lihua righteously said, "There is a proper method to say sorry. Do you want me to twist your ear more?"

"You.."

Jiang Xiurang cried. "Old Madam, please do something! Look at Fai's condition. She will tear his ear off!"

Ruomei stood and held her wrist. "Lixue, that is enough. You are going too far. You are hurting Fai. Can't you see he is in pain?"

Lihua asked back, "Can't you see how disrespectfully he was talking to his mother? How can you sit like that and do nothing? Is it because... you have no respect for Aunt Xiurang?" She smiled.

Ruomei widened her eyes. "Lixue, don't malign my name for no purpose! You are just trying to frame me for no reason. Fai is only seventeen. He might be a bit rebellious, but that doesn't mean you hurt him."

Jiang Fai gnashed his jaw. "Hah! How will this stupid woman understand?"

Ruomei smirked to know that Jiang Fai was on her side.

Lihua raised her brow. "It's because he is in his rebellious phase that we need to bring him to the right path now before it gets too late."

When Wei saw the commotion happening, a glint passed through Ruomei's eyes, and she rushed towards him. "Wei! Look what Lixue is doing? Will you let her hurt Fai for being just a little rebellious? Every teenager is like that, but she is crossing her limits."

Wei simply passed through her without even bothering to look at her. Ruomei awkwardly remained standing as she felt embarrassed by his ignorance.

Jiang Fai immediately simmered down on his cousin's arrival. He was afraid of Wei as much as he was of Old Madam.

Jiang Xiurang sobbed. "Wei! Tell her to leave Fai! Enough is enough! She is interfering in my matters, and I don't need her help!"

Wei dotingly stared at his wife and softly smiled. "She can do whatever she likes."

The Old Madam furiously stomped her stick. "Wei! I will not allow this witch to take the family matters into her hands! So tell her to stay out of this."

We didn't respond that only infuriated her further.

Lihua glanced at her and said, "You don't feel that anything wrong is going in here with the way Jiang Fai is behaving to his mother?"

She sneered. "If Xiurang couldn't raise him well, then how is it my fault?"

Jiang Xiurang stiffened and her gaze lowered.

"Would you have kept quiet if he would have talked to you in such a tone?" She narrowed her eyes. "So why would you watch when he is being so disrespectful towards his mother? Also.."

Lihua looked at her meaningfully but said nothing.

"What is it!? Spit it out."

"Heh. You say that Aunt might have not raised him well, but why would it be that way if...you didn't raise her well in the first place?"

Silence.

Jiang Xiurang and Ruomei were horrified to hear that. Their knees turned jelly in fear, and they didn't dare see Old Madam's expression.

The Old Madam blankly stared at her. "What did you say?" She quietly asked, her voice low and extremely chilly.

Lihua finally let go of Jiang Fai's ear much to his relief. His ear had turned glaring red.

That bitch!

Lihua said, "I am right, aren't I? If you had raised your children well, then your sons wouldn't have stayed quiet when Aunt's husband cheated on her."

Jiang Xiurang froze. The mention of Li Tingzhe made her blood run cold. She paled as if all the color drained away from her face. She trembled and her eyes brimmed in tears.

Jiang Fai wasn't in any good shape either. His fingers curled into a fist. His gaze darkened.

"They wouldn't have stayed silent when you forced Aunt to remain married to that cheater just for the sake of your reputation. The brothers wouldn't have sit still when their dear sister was cheated upon, and when she had threatened to kill herself."

She craned her neck and squinted her gaze at Jiang Weizhe and his younger brother, Jiang Weiyuan, who were until now silently seated with the rest of the family members.

Jiang Weiyuan paused his actions and met her gaze. For the first time, somebody stared at him with that judgemental look as if he stood in a witness box akin to a criminal.

Nobody in the past had ever dared to challenge him, the previous Mafia King. Nobody knew what he was thinking with that unreadable expression on his face. His wife calmly watched everything with her brows raised in amusement.

Jiang Weizhe rapidly blinked his eyes, and it seemed that he finally realized that Lihua was acting strange. She was throwing him an accusatory look to which he couldn't help but feel dumbfounded.

He looked up at his able assistant Fu Shen and softly asked, "Is she... angry at me?"

Fu Shen coughed. "Master.."

"Yes or no?"

He narrowed his eyes at her and honestly, he didn't like her judgemental look. But it was obvious that she was furious. He couldn't lie to his Master.

"...Yes."

Jiang Weizhe pursed his lips. "I see...she has always smiled at me before.." his voice was aggrieved.

"..."

He was aghast to see that his Master was sulking!
