Chapter 448: Quarreling
Translator: Lonelytree
I felt relieved, like a huge boulder had been removed from my heart. I skipped to Jing Tian’s house.
I knew that Jing Tian must be sleeping at this time. He needed to replenish his strength.
I came to see Auntie Lan. I bet she had a lot of things to tell me. Sure enough, I heard Auntie Lan’s thunderous roar as I entered Jing Tian’s house.
“Jing De, don’t talk nonsense with me! I know you only care about your perfect sons and grandsons, not me and Jing Tian! My son almost lost his life for the Jing Family. What more do you want from him? Did I give birth to him to be used like this? He is your biological son, so how can you treat him so unfairly!
“If you don’t return us justice, I’ll take him and leave forever! We can live well without you! You said you’ll be our sanctuary forever, pffft! You were the one who brought so many hardships to our lives! Without you, our lives will be so much better!”
Even my eardrums were shaking. I wondered how Old Master Jing was faring.
Auntie Bai Rui stood at the door and paced around anxiously. She didn’t dare to interrupt when her seniors were quarreling. Plus, she didn’t even know what to say, so she could only fret. When she saw me, she smiled so brightly as if she had seen her savior. She pointed at one of the bedroom doors.
I pushed the door open and entered. I saw Auntie Lan crying with a handkerchief dapping her cheeks. Old Master Jing’s face was so red. He couldn’t even defend himself. His eyes lit up when he saw me. However, he didn’t dare to say anything. He only tried to signal me with his eyes.
“Auntie Lan, I’m here.” I?secretly made an OK gesture to Old Master Jing and quickly walked up to Auntie Lan.
Auntie Lan pulled me to her. “Nanxing, you’re just in time. We’ll be taking Jing Tian home. Help Auntie Lan pack her things. Once I have settled down, I’ll make Jing Tian come to marry you! Then, the three of us will have a good life on the island free from the disturbance of these shameless people!”
Old Master Jing rubbed his hands. “Ah Lan, you’ve misunderstood me…”
“I have not!” Auntie Lan retorted angrily.
I quickly winked at Old Master Jing to get him to stop talking. I hugged Auntie Lan. “Auntie Lan, I’m so sorry about what happened. Jing Ni told me that if it weren’t for you, she wouldn’t know what to do. You were the one who helped take care of Mai Qi. Auntie Lan, thank you! You are our savior!”
Auntie Lan quieted down. The old man was dumbstruck and secretly gave me a thumbs up.
I pulled Aunt Lan away. I asked in a gentle voice, “Auntie Lan, please tell me what happened. I was so worried. Jing Ni is busy dealing with people from overseas. Mai Qi is still weak. Auntie Bai Rui is too big of a fretter. In this family, we are the only two backbones. Don’t you agree?”
Auntie Lan immediately nodded. “That’s right. Only we women can be relied on at these critical moments. Men are useless!” She glared at Old Master Jing.
Old Master Jing sat at the side helplessly and laughed dryly.
“Auntie Lan, I heard the people from the Jing Family tried to chase you away? They have must have said many nasty things!” I held her hand with a pained expression.
Tears flashed across Auntie Lan’s eyes as she huffed, “Hmph! Never mind, I’m not going to bother with them!”
I gritted my teeth and said, “That won’t do. Auntie Lan, you are too kind to forgive them like this. However, I’m not that generous.. Do they want me to forget everything just like that? No way!”
