Chapter 14: Arrogant and Domineering Miss 5

However, when God wants to give a man a great responsibility, he must first make him work hard and starve. Before the male protagonist becomes the male protagonist, he still has a long period of suffering to endure.

In the original novel, although Lan Shengmei couldn't accept the fact that her father was a bastard at first, after meeting Lan Shengzhe, her chastity overflowed, and she felt that he was innocent. She was deceived by his cowardly and harmless appearance, so she kept helping him, so other people restrained their bullying of him. However, this time, An Cui ignored him, so the severity of other people's attacks was naturally different from the original novel.

However, one time, in front of An Cui, a maid serving at the table ignored Lan Shengzhe's request for a soup spoon. An Cui said coldly: "Why? Did your employer pay you less, or are you so bold? Although Lan Shengzhe is an unpopular illegitimate child, it is not your turn to teach him a lesson."

The maid panicked and immediately admitted her mistake and asked for forgiveness, but she was still fired. After this incident, no one dared to embarrass Lan Shengzhe openly, but they just turned to doing it secretly, and even got worse.

The servants stole his clothes, ate his snacks, and called him a bastard behind his back. The other members of the Lan family, the adults, ignored him, and his peers also mocked him and often ordered him around. He endured humiliation and pretended to be harmless to perfection.

System 524: [...That's right, Cuicui. With the amount of hatred the male protagonist has accumulated, I'm afraid you'll die without a burial place in the future.] He really wanted to grab An Cui's shoulders and shake them hard. Can't you be nicer to the male protagonist? ! ! Where's the love line you promised? ? ? Why haven't you conquered him yet? ? ? The love line you're referring to is the male protagonist's hatred for you instead of love? ! !

An Cui picked at her nails and blew on them: [I'm curious about the feeling of dying without a burial place.]

System 524 realized that An Cui was sincere in what she said and instantly remembered the fact that she was a mental patient... Forget it, forget it, whatever.

Lan Shengzhe was locked in the attic. In the dusty air of the attic, a beam of moonlight fell through the skylight. Lan Shengzhe clenched his teeth in hatred, and the taste of blood filled his mouth.

He recalled everything that had happened in the past few days, and thought of An Cui's arrogant look. He couldn't help but wonder, did she know what they did to him behind his back? Or did she instigate it? No, she was not the kind of person who would do such a thing. She had never concealed her dislike for him, and had defended him before, which showed that she hated him, but she would not allow any random passerby to bully him. After all, he was her nominal brother after all... Come to think of it, if it wasn't for this, why would they bully him behind An Cui's back?

She simply didn't bother to cause trouble for him. In her eyes, he was nothing, so there was no need to waste energy on him.

Thinking of this, the fishy taste in his mouth became stronger. He felt so angry, but he had to think calmly about how to survive in this situation and get what he wanted in the future.

Then, the next day, when An Cui got up and opened the door, she saw Lan Shengzhe standing at her door. When he saw her, some embarrassment and humiliation of a teenager appeared on his face, and he enthusiastically took the schoolbag from her hand.

An Cui stared at him, narrowed her eyes slightly, then ignored him and went downstairs.

Lan Shengzhe carried her schoolbag and followed her obediently.

524: ????

Lan Shengzhe tried his best to please An Cui, but there was a limit to what he could do because An Cui had to go to school every day, and no one in the Lan family had mentioned anything about his going to school.

The boy was very handsome, and looked like he had suffered a lot. His shyness, hidden humiliation and embarrassment easily aroused other people's sympathy.

As the sun set, An Cui came riding a horse from a distance and saw the young man still standing in the same place as at the beginning. When he saw her get off the horse, he immediately ran over to help her hold the horse, and began to show his courtesy and flattery without saying a word.

He was really flexible and had a good grasp of An Cui's temper. He knew that An Cui was not someone who could be easily fooled, and it was impossible to gain her protection by saying a lot of hypocritical words. It would be better to just act like "I just want to please you", she might find it interesting and want to see how far he could go, and this was his chance.

An Cui: "What do you want to get from me by trying to please me like this?"

"I want to go to school."

"Oh, OK." An Cui showed a malicious smile on her face and looked at him condescendingly, "You will be responsible for taking care of my Caesar, feeding grass, cleaning the shit... You will do it all yourself. When I am satisfied, you can go to school."

It is a humiliation for a young master from a wealthy family to do the job of a groom, but compared with other humiliations, this kind of humiliation seems much more merciful.

Lan Shengzhe saw hope and was filled with fighting spirit. He came to the stable after breakfast every morning to learn from the grooms how to take care of horses. They bullied him and asked him to take care of other horses as well, otherwise they would not teach him. He could only endure it, putting on rubber waders, an apron and sleeves, shoveling away large piles of horse manure with a shovel, enduring the smell in the stable, and feeling tired with back pain every day.

One day, two days, three days... A few days passed. On the morning of the fifth day, when An Cui just came back from school, she was told that Caesar was dead.

An Cui rushed to the stable, where the black horse was lying on the ground motionless. The veterinarian stood by with a helpless look on his face. Lan Shengzhe was pale, while Lan Shuhua and others looked like they were waiting for a good show.

"Caesar." An Cui squatted beside the horse, touched its mane, and felt its cold body temperature. "What's going on?"

The veterinarian said: "Preliminary examination shows that he probably ate something wrong and had food poisoning."

The two grooms who were in charge of taking care of the horses in the stable quickly said, "Master Shengzhe is in charge of Caesar's care and feeding these days..."

An Cui stood up, the anger in her eyes frightened everyone present, but she said, "Give me my whip."

Although he didn't understand why, he quickly took the horsewhip that An Cui usually used and handed it over respectfully.

An Cui took the whip and swung it hard.

"Bang!"

A sharp whipping sound was heard, and the whip fell heavily on Lan Shengzhe's body, and a red mark immediately appeared on his neck.

Lan Shengzhe stared at An Cui, with a flash of shock and disbelief in his eyes. But then, anger and hatred rose in his heart. She should have known! She was not such a stupid person! It was so obvious! Someone must have framed him! But, she did not hesitate to put the blame on him!

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

In the stable, the sound of whipping was heard one after another. From the sound, one could tell that every whipping was without mercy and hit the boy hard. The boy stood there stubbornly, staring at An Cui motionlessly. An Cui stared back at him with expressionless anger and coldness and was merciless.

The whip marks soon covered the boy's body, and all the exposed parts, whether it was his face, neck, or wrists, were clearly visible. Lan Shuhua and the others, who had been gloating over the boy's misfortune, showed a hint of fear on their faces.

Even if they wanted to bully Lan Shengzhe, they would not dare to do it to this extent. In comparison, what were the two hits that An Cui gave to Lan Shuhua?

System 524: My heart can't take it anymore. Do you really want to carry out your character setting so thoroughly? Now that the male protagonist has gathered all his strength, I don't believe that he won't crush you to dust! You are clearly the heroine who makes the male protagonist love and hate you, but you turned into a vicious female supporting role that only the male protagonist hates. My heart...

An Cui stopped expressionlessly until her arms were almost tired. Grandpa, grandma, uncles and aunts rushed over and ignored Lan Shengzhe, who was covered in scars.

"What's the matter, Xiaomei? It's just a horse. Is it worth getting so angry? Does your hand hurt?"

"Uncle San will buy you another one and I promise it will look exactly like Caesar, okay?"

"Don't be angry, don't be angry. Being angry is bad for your health. Really, you kids, why don't you try to persuade your sister..."

"..."

An Cui was coaxed away by the parents. Lan Shengzhe stood there with wounds all over his body, and he was trembling with pain all over his body. He looked at An Cui's back, clenched his hands, lowered his eyes, and under the horrified gaze of the two grooms and the veterinarian, he picked up the grass-cutting knife and cut open the dead horse.

late at night.

Most of the servants living in the annex building had already gone to bed, with only a few still whispering in their rooms.

"The young lady is very angry... What if the investigation leads to us?"

"How did the investigation end up with us? The eldest lady beat that bastard severely, which means she determined that it was his responsibility."

"I always feel uneasy. If you ask me, just forget it. He is also a member of the Lan family. It is not right to ..."

"What a bullshit! He's just a bastard. I don't know what kind of life he had before. How could he suddenly become the young master of a wealthy family? Moreover, he shamelessly tried to please the daughter of the original wife. He became so arrogant that he was not willing to help with anything. Bah..."

As they were talking, the door suddenly opened.

They looked up and saw a thin young boy appear at the door, which was not too dark.

Before they could react, the figure flew over and pressed down on the more arrogant male servant, with the sharp knife against his throat, shocking him so much that he dared not move.

The other one quickly turned on the light and saw Lan Shengzhe and the knife. His face changed with fear. "Calm down..."

"It was you who poisoned Caesar to death, right?" Lan Shengzhe asked fiercely, and suddenly pressed the dagger down again. The man who was pressed down could feel the blade easily cutting into his skin and sinking into his flesh. He was so scared that he almost peed.

The other person didn't dare to shout loudly, because if the matter got out of hand they would definitely be fired. After all, when the employed people make trouble with the employer, it is never the employer who will suffer.

"Yes, yes, you, you let him go quickly, the blood is flowing out!!" he said in horror.

"What did you feed Caesar?"

"A little rat poison and dichlorvos... Let him go, you're going to kill him!" He looked at his companion's bloodshot eyes, the blood from his neck staining the pillow red, and his expression was distorted with fear. This guy is not serious! It's so scary! !

Lan Shengzhe took the knife back and jumped off the bed. The man on the bed immediately got up and looked for the medicine box to bandage his wound without caring about anything else. He was even afraid that his blood vessels had been cut.

When they came to their senses, Lan Shengzhe had already left.

Lan Shengzhe ran to An Cui's door in a flash. He ran so fast that he was out of breath. He knocked hard on An Cui's door. When An Cui opened it, he said, "Caesar's death has nothing to do with me."

The young man in front of him was covered in scars, and the scars from being whipped on his pale and handsome face were even more shocking. He was panting, holding the recorder, and staring at An Cui with nervous and anxious eyes. He looked really pitiful.

An Cui's eyes fell on the recorder in his hand. He played the sound and An Cui listened silently.

"I understand." An Cui said, "But you also have to take responsibility for letting Caesar be poisoned to death while you were in my care. Don't expect me to apologize to you."

An Cui closed the door again.

The next day, the two servants were fired and sued for compensation. The price of a purebred racehorse airlifted from the UK was expensive, enough to make the two daring people cry for compensation.

At the same time, Lan Shengzhe was allowed to go to No. 1 Middle School.
