Lee Yang pushed Tong Hui over slowly. Our eyes met, and neither of us backed down.
Tong Hui said slowly, âNanxing, we finally meet. Arenât you happy to see me?â
I took a step forward. âI am not happy to see
you.â
Tong Hui wasnât angry. He smiled. âMa Ji wanted to erase your memories back then, but I didnât have the heart, so I only had her temporarily seal up your memory. I didnât expect you to be such a heartless girl. You donât know how to be grateful at all. You little bastard! Youâre an ingrate!â He scolded me with a smile.
I said indifferently, âYou didnât want to erase my memories because you needed me to guide you to my parentâs treasure. Havenât you robbed that previous island clean?â
Tong Hui didnât care at all. With a smile, he said, âYouâre right. Your mother was my sister, and thus, Iâm the successor of their inheritance. Even in court, the judge will agree with me. So, whatâs wrong with me taking back what belongs to me?â
This man was truly shameless. I was furious.
Jing Tian placed his hand on my shoulder and said, âNanxing! Donât be angry! Heâs just a beggar. So what if you give him alms? His days are limited, so you should pity you.â
Tong Huiâs expression darkened. âAre you the kid who kidnapped Nanxing?â
Lee Yang bent down and said in a voice that everyone could hear, âSir, this is Master Qi, who places last in the Seven Brothers. He says he is from the Jing Family, but that has always been a controversial point.â
âWhat nonsense are you talking about? How is that controversial? My seventh uncle is my grandfatherâs biological son. Who are you to start a rumor like that?â Jing Ni was so angry
at she was trembling. In Jing Niâs heart, she had always respected Jing Tian as a father figure.
Lee Yang sneered, âWhat did I say that got Miss Jing so agitated? If thereâs no flame, why is there smoke?â
âNonsense!â Jing Ni pointed at Lee Yang, her face red with anger.
Lee Yang merely shrugged. Qu Hao gently held Jing Niâs hand, his gaze doting on her, his voice was even. âSilly girl, why are you so gullible? Canât you see that heâs deliberately provoking you? Why bother with such a perverted person? Because of his own filthy and illegitimate background, he is projecting his own insecurity on others. This way, he can satisfy his inferiority complex. Donât fall for his trick!â
Li Yang was stunned for a moment before he reacted. âWho are you calling illegitimate?â He pointed angrily at Qu Hao.
Qu Hao smiled faintly. âWhoever feels the sting is the one I meant.â He looked at Jing Ni with a warm smile. It was very sweet.
Lee Yangâs face was red.
Jing Ni sneered, âQu Hao, I also want to know how this man is illegitimate.â
Qu Hao immediately agreed, âAlright.â Without looking at Lee Yang, he said, âWhen Master Wei Wu was young, he was a playboy. However, he was the most infatuated with his grandmotherâs maid. The lady was very good to Old Madam Wei. Before the Old Madam died, she got the mistress of the Wei Family to acknowledge the maid as the adopted daughter of the Wei family. Old Madam Wei also found a good man for the maid to marry. However, Master Wei Wu and the maid were deeply in love. Even though they had their own marriage, they still met up very often in private. That was how the Lee Family gained an illegitimate young master.â
