Chapter 37
“Besides, when have I ever humiliated your mother? It should be your mother who humiliated me, right? We can’t lie through our teeth. However, if you insist on distorting the truth and want to slander me like your mother, then I can’t do anything about it. After all, I don’t have any power and no one to rely on.”
Jiang Yining made her words clear and understood. Then, she looked at Old Madam Lu meaningfully and retracted her toes.
Chen Kexin froze in mid-air.
She didn’t know whether to kneel or stand!
Old Madam Lu wanted to speak up for the mother and daughter, but at this moment, she could not speak up.
After all, Jiang Yining had already said that whoever helped Chen Qinglian would not be able to distinguish right from wrong and would be bullying a poor person like her.
What a sharp tongue!
“Don’t make things difficult for Yining anymore. Aunt Chen, choose your punishment. Otherwise, I will make the choice for you.” Lu Zhi lowered his eyes and spoke in a faint voice.
No one dared to refute it.
Chen Qinglian slumped onto the ground, knowing that she could not escape this. Otherwise, when Ah Zhi made the decision, she would only end up being expelled from the Lu family!
“I… I choose to apologize and clarify things for Miss Jiang. I’ll bear the responsibility for my mistakes. Kexin, stop making trouble.”
“Mom, sob, sob. It’s been too hard on you. I’ve let you down. I didn’t help you at all.”
Chen Kexin ran to her mother and hugged her while crying.
Chen Qinglian shook her head. “Silly girl, I don’t even feel wronged. Why are you crying?”
“Boohoo…”
Chen Kexin sobbed.
Chen Qinglian took out a handkerchief and wiped away the tears on her daughter’s face. Then, she stood up and walked over to Jiang Yining. She bowed deeply and said, “I’m sorry, Miss Jiang. Look… what do I have to do to make you forgive me? As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it!”
If she said that in front of the old madam and Lu Zhi, she would not have had the nerve to make such an excessive request!
Chen Qinglian had Jiang Yining in her grasp and thought she didn’t dare to be presumptuous.
But the next moment…
Jiang Yining said to her rather rudely, “Although you are an elder, you should be punished for your mistakes. This is something that even three-year-olds understand. I won’t punish you too much. After all, you’re old and can’t bear to be tortured. How about this, you can copy the entire “The Analects” and “Standards for Being a Good Pupil and Child” a hundred times and learn how the ancient saints conduct themselves.”
A woman in her forties, almost fifty years old, was being scolded by a little girl like that. Her reputation was gone.
Chen Qinglian gritted her teeth in hatred.
Lu Zhi looked down at Jiang Yining and smiled.
Jiang Yining was speechless.
Was this 10,000-year-old ice face smiling just now?
Although it was only for a moment and the smile was very faint, it was still very rare!
After suffering a night of grievances, she finally felt a little better.
Jiang Yining curled the corners of her lips and relaxed her eyebrows from the bottom of her heart.
“Alright, I accept.”
Chen Qinglian agreed.
“Then hurry back and copy the book. Remember to write neatly. I don’t want to accept an insincere apology.” Jiang Yining instructed.
“Yes.”
Chen Qinglian replied in a low and muffled voice as she was filled with anger.
Then, she walked up to Old Madam Lu and said, “Old Madam, I will go back to copy the books first and I can’t serve you anymore. You and Kexin can go back together.”
“Yes, alright.”
Old Madam Lu nodded.
Chen Qinglian left dejectedly.
Old Madam Lu looked at her grandson and had nothing to say. She held Chen Kexin’s hand and said, “Kexin, I don’t think there’s a place for us in this house. Come with Grandma.”
Chen Kexin’s eyes were bloodshot and teary as she nodded slightly.
“Grandma, I won’t send you off. After all, I’m quite tired of being slandered for no reason. I’ll treat you well the next time you come to my house.”
Jiang Yining said politely.
This girl was deliberately angering her!
Old Madam Lu glared at her fiercely and left in a huff.
