Chapter 84 - Did It Hurt?
A cold glint flashed across Ji Yan’s eyes, and he mocked, “What should the daughters of the Ji family be like?”
“Xiao Yan, please don’t take it the wrong way,” Ji Mei had not noticed Ji Yan’s cold one. She continued talking, “When your grandfather was alive, he insisted on everyone being obedient and abiding by the rules in the family. If he were to see Ji Qian and Ji Ning now, he would be disappointed.”
“Grandfather indeed respected the rules,” Ji Yan smiled sarcastically. “But he didn’t abide it to the point where he won’t say a word even when someone bullied his children. I think Ji Ning’s is pretty good. The children of the Ji family should be like her.”
Ji Mei was instantly flabbergasted by Ji Yan’s bone-chilling gaze.
“Brother is right. I think I am perfect the way I am,” Ji Ning lifted her head proudly and said confidently, “Did cousin say that she is a dog? Our family doesn’t keep such an ungrateful dog.”
She didn’t even deserve to be the Ji family’s dog.
“You!” Cheng Liu’s face was pale. How dare the useless girl insult her!
“So, what if I hit you?” Ji Ning took a step forward and raised her hand as she said, “I’m going to hit you, fake, vicious, mean woman!”
Slap!
After the crisp sound of a slap, Ji Ning didn’t stop. She pulled Cheng Liu’s hand away from her face and slapped it a few more times, “You didn’t do it on purpose? Do you think I’m blind? That teapot was so far away from my violin. How did it land on my violin? You can avoid bumping into the coffee table, but you did it and pulled me on purpose. Do you think I’m blind? Weren’t you arrogant in front of me just now? Why don’t you tell everyone what you have told me just now?”
“I’m useless. I’ve embarrassed the Ji family. I don’t have the guts to play the violin in front of everyone. I deserve to live in the dark. But so what? That has nothing to do with you!” Ji Ning’s body was weak. After a few slaps, she was already panting. Her eyes were wide open as she stared straight at Cheng Liu. She looked like she wanted to tear Cheng Liu into pieces. “Cheng Liu, tell me! Did you want to destroy my violin or my hands just now?”
Just now, the teapot shattered. If she had not dodged quickly, the boiling hot tea would have fallen on her hands and face!
Recalling the scene at that time, Ji Ning felt a lingering fear in her heart. Her anger made her brave. She directly grabbed a fragment of the teapot on the ground and aimed the sharp edges at Cheng Liu’s face, “You want to destroy me. You were trying to destroy my life! I want to cut open your chest and rip out your heart to see if your heart is rotten and mean!”
“Ahh! Go away! Stay away from me!” Ji Ning’s rage had overtaken her. Cheng Liu was afraid that Ji Ning would hurt hers with the glass shards, so she quickly screamed and stepped back.
Shen Hanxing realized something was wrong with Ji Ning, so she quickly stepped forward and stopped her. “Xiao Ning, calm down.” She carefully grabbed Ji Ning’s wrist and took the glass shards from her hand.
“Sister-in-law…” Ji Ning was stunned for a moment. He subconsciously looked into Shen Hanxing’s eyes, and fear rose in her as she staggered, “I…”
It was anger that made her lose control of herself. She didn’t do it on purpose. It made her wonder if her sister-in-law would think that she was scared. After all, she had just wanted to cut open someone’s chest. Would her sister-in-law feel that she was mean? She was worried Shen Hanxing would not speak to her anymore. Ji Ning bit her lip tightly, ignoring the pain on it. The thought of her sister-in-law never speaking to her again made her tremble. “Your hands are for playing the violin. Why don’t you know how to protect it?” Shen Hanxing didn’t notice Ji Ning’s change. She only looked at her palms seriously. When she saw that Ji Ning wasn’t injured, she heaved a sigh of relief.
Throwing away the glass shard, Shen Hanxing was so angry that she poked Ji Ning’s forehead. “Aren’t you afraid of hurting your hands when you pick up the glass shard? Don’t do this again, understand?”
Ji Ning widened her eyes and did not say anything.
“Does it hurt?” Shen Hanxing was like an unreasonable parent who doted on her child. She did not care how violent Ji Ning was, “The few slaps you gave her just now were so hard. I’m worried your palm will hurt.”
Cheng Liu was so angry when she heard that. She was the one who Ji Ning slapped, yet Shen Hanxing asked if the hand of the person who hit her hurt!
“Sister-in-law…” Ji Ning felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. After a long while, she asked softly, “Aren’t you afraid?” She wanted to know if Shen Hanxing was afraid of her violent revenge just now. “Why should I be afraid?” Shen Hanxing looked at Ji Ning strangely, and she smiled. “Look at your thin arms and legs. You don’t have the strength even to hit someone a few times. You’re weak. Next time, wake up early in the morning and train with me. Otherwise, I’m afraid that you’ll tire yourself out before you can knock someone down.”
