Chapter 28

Wei Jingshan was anxious and angry. She pulled Su Qing and comforted her with heartache. She turned to Gu Ning and scolded: “How could you use violence? If you don’t want to give your sister the parrot, you can just say so. Why did you hit her?”

Gu Ning’s eyes were full of tears and her lips were pursed tightly. She clenched her fists stubbornly and said, “It was sister who hit me first.”

Wei Jingshan said angrily, “You can hit her back just because she hit you? Don’t children know how to be modest and polite? Why are you…”

“Enough!” Old Master Su shouted angrily and interrupted Wei Jingshan. “You asked Ningning to be modest and give way, but what about Qingqing? Does she know how to be modest and give way? She was the one who snatched Ningning’s parrot first, and she was the one who hit her first. How dare you blame Ningning for hitting her? Do you want Ningning to be bullied by you guys and not retaliate?”

Wei Jingshan paused for a second. Although she didn’t argue further, she still felt dissatisfied. Yes, her words just now were a little reckless, but her precious daughter had never been hit by anyone before. She couldn’t even bear to say anything harsh to Qingqing, now that she was hit, how could any mother accept it? Besides, hitting people was wrong, Qingqing only pushed Gu Ning, how was that hitting her first?

Wei Jingshan turned to look at Old Madam Su. Seeing that Old Madam Su didn’t even look at Su Qing, Wei Jingshan felt disappointed. Qingqing was her paternal granddaughter! Why didn’t she comfort Qingqing at once? How sad would Qingqing be? Wei Jingshan hugged Su Qing. “Qingqing, baby. Mommy will hug you.”

Wei Jingshan carried Su Qing and left angrily. Old Master Su was furious. “I can’t criticize her anymore, right? Doesn’t she realize that there is something wrong with the way she educates her child?”

After struggling to come up with words, Su Zelin finally said: “Dad, don’t be mad. Wei Jingshan is indeed sensitive when it comes to the children.” It would have been better if he hadn’t said this. Now that he said it, Old Master Su was even more angry. But now was not the time to argue with Su Zelin. He looked at Gu Ning: “Ningning, are you hurt?”

Gu Ning held Little Six in her arms and shook her head. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she didn’t say a word. Old Madam Su’s heart ached so much that she cried. She hugged Gu Ning and patted her back as said, “Don’t cry, our Ningning doesn’t cry…”

Gu Ning’s mouth flattened and she choked: “It’s Sister Su Qing who hit Little Six first…” She didn’t want to be polite and give way. She was still a child too, why did she have to be polite and give way when her older sister hit her? Gu Ning felt extremely aggrieved. In the past, when she was hit and scolded, she didn’t cry. But now Old Madam Su was hugging her and Old Master Su was comforting her, she didn’t know why she suddenly couldn’t hold back her tears.

Gu Ning let out a loud cry, as if she wanted to cry out all of the grievances over the past few years. The three little boys, Su Qi, Su Wen, and Su Xiao were lying at the door. When they heard Gu Ning’s cries, they quietly ran back to their rooms. Indeed, all little sisters liked to cry, how annoying! They did not want a little sister like this!

In Su Qing’s room, Wei Jingshan was furious when she saw that her precious daughter’s arm was scratched. At this moment, Su Zelin walked in and said, “Go apologize to Ningning.”

Wei Jingshan was instantly enraged. She threw the wet towel on the ground. “Su Zelin, how can you be a father like this? Our daughter is being bullied now. Look at Qingqing. Her eyes are swollen from crying, and her arms are covered in blood!”

Su Zelin laughed coldly. “If she doesn’t snatch other people’s things, will she be hit?”

When Su Qing heard this, she cried even harder. Su Zelin was silent and did not speak much. When he heard the cries, he became even more frustrated and turned to leave. All along, Su Zelin and Wei Jingshan’s relationship as husband and wife had not been good. Back then, after the accidental relationship between the two of them, Wei Jingshan got pregnant. Although he did not have any feelings for Wei Jingshan, he was still responsible. It was only when his daughter, Su Qing, was born that he found out that what happened back then was planned by Wei Jingshan. At that time, he had proposed a divorce, but Wei Jingshan refused. Wei Jingshan’s mother had always used the excuse of having a child to prevent the two of them from getting a divorce. At that time, it was when her younger sister, Su Jiayu, was missing. The Su family was exhausted looking for Su Jiayu, and Su Zelin’s divorce was delayed.

At this moment, Wei Jingshan was very sad. What did she do wrong? Was it wrong to feel sorry for her child and protect her child?

In Gu Ning’s room, Little Six was curled up in Gu Ning’s arms, and Gu Ning was curled up in Old Madam Su’s arms. Little Six had just arrived at a new place, and he hadn’t even gotten used to it yet, before he was almost smashed to death. Gu Ning felt a little sad as she looked at Little Six, she felt that she didn’t properly protect Little Six.
