Chapter 25: Trolling is Fun
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“You brought me to meet your friends, but I just entered the house, and they all looked at me with contempt. They even mocked me for being from the countryside,”Jiang Xun said mockingly. There was no trace of anger or resentment in her voice.
“They clearly know that I’m the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. Even if I’m from the countryside, I’m still your daughter.” Jiang Xun looked at Jiang Chengye with a mocking smile and raised an eyebrow. “Who do you think they’re looking down on? If they actually liked you, how would they dare look down on me? How would they dare say all that to my face?”
“They said that I’m from the countryside, but who was the one who sent me tere to begin with?” She smiled. “Who do you think they’re really talking about? And what does Yuexi think after having brought me along?”
Yuexi hurriedly explained, “They… they were just worried about me getting bullied.”
She did not dare push all the blame onto her friends yet. She could still get a lot of use out of them.
“I wasn’t looking down on you, nor was I looking down on our family,” Yuexi hurriedly explained, seeing that her father’s face was becoming increasingly angered. “Besides, I’ve already told them off when you weren’t around. They won’t do it again.”
Those people might hold grudges against Jiang Xun, but they might not dare pull anything against her to her face.
Jiang Xun had scared them.
When Jiang Xun heard that, she smiled mockingly. She’d been the one to “persuade” them otherwise, but Yuexi was quite good at taking the credit for herself.
At the same time, Yuexi’s heart was beating exceptionally fast. She stared nervously at Jiang Xun, observing her reactions, afraid that Jiang Xun would say something to expose her.
However, that didn’t happen.
Since Yuexi was willing to take credit for herself, Jiang Xun decided to let her do so. It also happened that she didn’t want to expose her true strength too much.
Of course, Yuexi and Jixuan had already seen her in action, but that wasn’t her true strength. There was no need to unleash all of it in one go.
But Yuexi was willing to hide it for her, which was exactly what she wanted.
Yuexi turned her head to Chengye, distress written on her face. “Dad, my friends really won’t be like this anymore. I’ve already told them off. I feel awful for making my sister go through all that. I’m really sorry.”
Chengye pursed his lips and took a deep breath before saying, “That’s enough. You’ve always been obedient and didn’t do it on purpose.”
Jixuan puffed his chest out proudly as he stared at Jiang Xun. Look at how Chengye dotes on his sister! Jiang Xun must be very upset—
“There’s more,” Jiang Xun said, not paying him a single hint of attention.
“What else do you want?” Chengye warned, displeased. “Stop looking for trouble! Isn’t it good to have a harmonious family? Do you have to make the house restless before you’re satisfied?”
“Jiang Xun, don’t make your father angry.” Feng Nianzhen also pretended to persuade him, “Since you came back, there hasn’t been a day when the house hasn’t been noisy. Everyone has to take a step back. Let’s be amiable and let the house be more peaceful.”
“Okay. If Yuexi doesn’t look for trouble with me, I definitely won’t take the initiative to look for trouble.” Jiang Xun said indifferently, “However, this is also a matter for the future. There is one more thing at the moment, and I need an explanation.”
“What do you want to say now? !”Chengye was tired and irritated. He pinched the corner of his eyes and said impatiently, “Hurry up and finish what you want to say!”
“Yuexi slandered me for doing something indecent with two men. Don’t you have to apologize to me?”Jiang Xun crossed her arms and didn’t take a step back, “I’m a girl, and some people are spreading rumors about my indecency. Shouldn’t I get an apology?”
“I didn’t spread any rumors. I only came back to say…” Yuexi realized something was wrong and quickly tried to make up for it. “Also, it’s not a rumor. I just misunderstood.”
“You said I was indecent without any evidence. What else could it be but a rumor? Can you guarantee that your four friends won’t tell anyone?”Jiang Xun narrowed her eyes. She looked at Chengye and said, “You’ve always cared about your reputation the most. Your eldest daughter has rumors about her that say she’s sleeping with two men!”
“Shut up!” Chengye’s temples were throbbing. He had a headache! What did she mean, “sleeping with two men?” She’s a girl, so how could she say such things?!
He was so angry that he was on the verge of hyperventilating.
Nianzhen quickly sat over and calmed Chengye down. “Jiang Xun, please just shut up for a bit.”
“If Yuexi can talk about this, then why can’t I?” Jiang Xun snapped. “Who’s the one with dirty thoughts here? When you pass by a restaurant and see a girl walking out with a group of men, I wonder what goes through her mind! Bah! Shameless!”
Jiang Xun couldn’t be bothered with propriety at this point as she spat on Yuexi’s face. Even Chengye, who was sitting next to her, ended up taking some splash damage from Jiang Xun’s attack.
“You… Why are you like this?!” Yuexi was so disgusted that she didn’t dare to touch her face. She felt utterly revolted from the wet feeling on her face.
She quickly took out a lot of tissues and bunched them up before wiping her face. She pinched them carefully with her fingertips, afraid that Jiang Xun’s saliva would soak through the tissues and touch her fingers.
“I thought I’d help you clean your image up a bit.”
As soon as Jiang Xun opened her mouth, Yuexi was afraid that Jiang Xun would spit at her, so she quickly used the tissue paper as a shield.
Jiang Xun couldn’t help but think that trolling her like this was fun.
The system watched on helplessly. The sins of the Jiang family would probably be punished by Jiang Xun!
Even the dignified system couldn’t do anything to this unscrupulous host, let alone a mere mortal of the Jiang family.
“Enough!” Chengye finally shouted angrily.
Yuexi trembled for a moment, she said to Chengye pitifully, “Dad, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault this time. I misunderstood my sister and made her so angry. It’s my fault that everyone’s had to bear the brunt of my mistake I… I’ll be more cautious in the future. I won’t say anything without evidence.”
“Yuexi was just too worried about Jiang Xun,” Nianzhen said to Chengye softly. She didn’t have time to double check the facts because she only wanted to find Jiang Xun as soon as possible. That’s why there was a misunderstanding.”
“Yes,” Yuexi nodded. “But I know that a mistake is a mistake. I won’t make excuses for myself. Dad, I’m sorry.”
“Okay, I know you mean well.” Chengye stroked Yuexi’s head.
He’d seen her grow up before his eyes, unlike Jiang Xun.
Yuexi had been obedient, cute, and kind since she was young. She never had the heart to do anything to hurt people or animals.
Naturally, his feelings for Yuexi were different from his feelings for Jiang Xun.
Chengye raised his head and said to Jiang Xun with a sullen face, “Yuexi already knows that she was wrong. Moreover, she was just too worried about you this time. You heard it too. She won’t do it again in the future.”
“The person she has let down is obviously me. Why is she apologizing to you?” Jiang Xun couldn’t take it anymore.
