Le ZhengTian was seething with anger, not showing any mercy with his strength. Even though Le ChengXi attempted to block the strikes, An ZiYi was still hit numerous times.
“Father, Father. What are you doing! Stop, she’s ZiYi!”
An ZiYi buried herself into Le ChangXi’s chest, gnashing her teeth as she cursed in her heart.
“Move aside, or else I’ll hit you too!” Le ZhengTian’s rationality returned a bit with the help of Le ChenXi’s voice. Although he stopped, his face was still dark with anger.
“Father, what’s wrong? Out of nowhere, how could you just start hitting people?” Le ChenXi heart clenched as he comforted the woman in his embrace, calling for the butler to bring over medicine.
The spot that ZiYi had been scalded with hot tea hadn’t even been taken care of yet. Now, being hit by his father as soon as they returned home, some spots were already peeling.
“What wrong with me? ChenXi, go ask that lowly woman what she did. She dared to provoke Xie family? Does she not know what kind of people the Xie family is? They’re a couple of lunatics. Powerful lunatics with authority! Even if they can’t compare to our family, they still aren’t people that we can carelessly provoke! But this lowly woman dared to put Xie family’s heiress into the police station, causing Xie family such embarrassment! They’ve already said now that either we hand over this lowly woman or they will consider our two families enemies.” The more Le ZhengTian spoke, the angrier he became, his walking stick striking the floor with every sentence.
He had originally been happy that Le family finally had someone that knew how gemstone betting. Who knew that within a matter of days Le family would sink to these circumstances. They haven’t even swallowed Xun family and collaborated with Boss Mo yet. How would they have the power to combat two different families?
It’s all because of An ZiYi. If not for her, how would things be like this?
Le ChenXi was a bit confused, “Father, how are we connected to Xie family matters? Didn’t Xie Tian Tian go to the police station because she wasn’t being cautious enough?”
“Stupid, stupid! How did I give birth to such a stupid son!” Le ZhengTian almost fainted from anger, resentfully scolding his son. (T/N author says LZT was feeling 恨铁不成钢 here, literally meaning ‘hating iron for not turning into steel’, used to mean despising someone for not meeting your expectations).
His son’s jade carving skills were the pride of Le family. However, when he became too old, how can he trust passing Le family on to his dumb son?
This was the first time that Le ChenXi had been scolded by his father, making him feel hurt. He directly ignored his seemingly unreasonable father, turning to concentrate on treating ZiYi’s wounds.
An ZiYi was trembling from head to toe. What XunMi had said was true. That useless Xie Tian Tian! No, she absolutely couldn’t be abandoned by Le family. She’ll hand Xie family just like she handled Xie Tian Tian and make sure fall and never can get back up.
“Uncle Le, the gemstone betting conference is in two days. You can’t hand me over because I will bring back the title of champion for you.” She still had hidden trump cards in the form of her two hands.
After her rebirth, she thought her best weapon was her knowledge of the future. But once, she unintentionally touched some material in ChenXi’s studio and felt her hands warm. At first, she thought it was just the material’s temperature. After having someone open it up, she found that the inside was actually high quality golden colored of gem!
After having this occur a few more times in successive experiments, she realized that she had gained the legendary Golden Touch.
Le ZhengTian quieted. Indeed, An ZiYi’s appraisal abilities were undeniable. If he gave her over now, then Le family would be at a disadvantage in the gemstone betting conference. No, he’ll need to speak Xie family.
“Alright, I’ll give you this opportunity. If you don’t make Le family come out victorious at the gemstone betting conference, then I’ll hand you over to Xie family to punish.”
An ZiYi clenched her teeth and nodded her head, the humiliation and resentment running rampant in her heart. She was reborn, so she there’s no way she could be defeated by XunMi. This lifetime, she definitely come out on top, stepping over all those that had looked down on her in the last life.
. . .
When XunMi saw Lu MoQin, she immediately felt that this child was pure and innocent.
“XunMi jie, where did you go last night? You had me worried to death. Uncle Xun almost called the police, I had to lie and say that you were staying at my place!” Lu MoQin had a cute baby face. When she spoke, her big watery catlike eyes were filled with worry.
XunMi patted her head comforting, “Yesterday I was careless and someone schemed against me. Luckily, I ran into Han ge who helped me. MoMo, listen to sister: don’t hang out with An ZiYi anymore. She isn’t a good person, she caused Xie Tian Tian to be sent to the police station. Now, Xie family is busy trying to get her out. Moreover, she was the one that drugged me yesterday to try to ruin me. I know you are kindhearted and don’t like to doubt others’ intentions. But I can’t be by your side at all times, I can’t guarantee that An ZiYi won’t one day go berserk and target you. So stay away from her. If there’s anything you feel is wrong, tell me immediately, understood?”
In the original plot, the reason that An ZiYi was able to so easily approach the original XunMi and gain her trust was because of Lu MoQin. When Lu MoQin found out the truth, she had tried to help XunMi at all costs, ultimately implicating herself.
Currently, An ZiYi had already made a good impression on Lu MoQin.
LuMoQin was a bit in disbelief. She believed that XunMi would never lie to her. When An ZiYi had stolen away ChenXi ge, she had already started to dislike her. If not because she would often come find her and treat her well, Lu MoQin wouldn’t have forgiven her.
“I’m sorry XunMi jie. It’s all my fault. If not for me, An ZiYi wouldn’t have had the opportunity!” This time, she definitely needed to help XunMi get revenge. She can’t forgive An ZiYi for daring to do such a thing!
“Don’t worry, this isn’t your fault. MoMo, just remember to be careful not to be injured by her in the future.” Rubbing MoMo’s hair, XunMi felt that this was definitely a little child.
Just like the Ni XunMi in the second world, she was also adorable.
The two girls chatted for awhile before XunMi warned against a few more things and then left with the arriving Mo WenHan.
“Han ge, can I ask for your help.” XunMi thought for a while before speaking.
“Yes.” As long as it’s you asking, I can help you do anything.
In the driver’s seat, Guan Xiao’s lips twitched. Boss, how could you ask so indifferent?
“Help get Xie Tian Tian out of the station. To be honest, I was also supposed to be arrested with them. But I guess whoever delivered me yesterday must have read the wrong room number.”
Their mistake helped her jump over a trap, should she go and thank them?
“Mo WenHan held XunMi’s hand, “Okay. Don’t worry, I’ll handle it.” His voice was as gentle as possible, the furrowed lines on his forehead lightening.
He’ll take care of Xie Tian Tian’s situation as well as yesterday’s circumstances. Even more, he’ll make sure to take care of Le family. As for her family’s troubles, he had even more reason to get involved.
His lips unconsciously curled upwards.
