The moment Jiang Ling spoke, Yan Xia knew that the meal would not be peaceful.

This was something that Yan Xia could not understand. Why did Jiang Ling always have such a strange hostility toward her?

If it was simply because she didn’t want to treat her as family, this kind of targeting seemed a little extreme.

Yan Xia really did not want to have a conflict with this lady.

Jiang Ling was the spoiled young lady of the Jiang family and was also Jiang Huai’s sister. She didn’t want Jiang Huai to be caught in the middle.

Besides, Jiang Huai already hated her. If she kept getting into conflict with his family, it would only make her even more annoying.

Yan Xia did not have to take it to heart and let it affect her mood.

Therefore, Yan Xia had always been patient and pretended not to hear Jiang Ling’s provocations.

However, when Jiang Ling spoke, it was as if she had a complete set of drafts. She was able to go from the first sentence to the last sentence without any hiccups.

“If she hadn’t used some foxy method to trick Big Brother into sleeping with her, would she have been able to bear the child of our Jiang family? After that, she even shamelessly asked my brother to take responsibility of her. I’ve seen many thick-skinned women, but this is the first time I’ve seen such a thick-skinned woman! It’s an insult to me to eat with such a person!”

These words were extremely vulgar and hard to hear.

Jiang Huai couldn’t help but frown when he heard that. His thick brows formed the word ‘川’.

He did not seem to be doing it on purpose as he shifted his gaze to the silent Yan Xia.

She actually lowered her head obediently and ate her food in peace!

This woman had always retorted his one sentence with at least three sentences, but now she was actually acting like a mute?

He had no idea how much Yan Xia was suffering.

Every time someone mentioned what happened back then, it was death by a thousand cuts to Yan Xia.

She had thought more than once that if she could turn back time, she would never have walked into her boss’ room that day.

Thinking of this, she felt tears in her eyes and couldn’t help sniffling.

Jiang Huai noticed her actions, especially when her thin shoulder twitched. It was as if an invisible hand had grabbed her chest, making it hard for him to breathe.

Wasn’t she always full of thorns? Why didn’t she speak up for herself at this time!

Out of instinct, Jiang Huai put down his chopsticks and made a ‘tsk’ sound.

Jiang Ling wanted to continue, but she was shocked by his actions.

She had been pampered since she was young, so she did not follow the rules and did things according to her own will. She was only a little afraid of her brother, Jiang Huai. As long as Jiang Huai showed any signs of displeasure, Jiang Ling would restrain herself in time no matter how unwilling she was.

At this moment, Jiang Huai was looking at her with the kind of eyes that she was most afraid of. She froze for a moment and didn’t know what to say.

Mother Jiang could sense her son’s temper and wanted to smooth things over, but Jiang Huai had already struck first.

“Apologize,” he said.

“I…” Jiang Ling wanted to argue for herself, but Liang Lan nudged her leg under the table, indicating for her to stop talking.

Liang Lan knew her child’s stubbornness. If he was really angry, then it didn’t matter who came. There had to be a conclusion.

Jiang Ling was not willing to give up and glared at the innocent-looking Yan Xia.

‘Vixen, you only know how to pretend to be pitiful and seduce my brother!’

Even though Jiang Ling was cursing in her heart, she still apologized unwillingly on the surface. “I was in a bad mood today, so I said too much. Don’t take it to heart.”

Yan Xia sighed inwardly. This girl did not even mention the words ‘I was wrong’ when she apologized. She was really spoiled.

However, Yan Xia had no choice but to smooth things over with a smile and accept her apology.

As soon as Yan Xia finished her sentence, Jiang Huai stood up, grabbed her wrist, and headed upstairs to the bedroom.

Yan Xia did not have time to resist. She could only smile and follow his steps until the bedroom door was closed.

The sound insulation of this room was very good. Once the door was closed, no sound could be heard from outside.

Only the two of them were left, so it was very awkward for them to not speak.

Yan Xia was touched. She knew that he was helping her. “Thank you for your help.”

Jiang Huai sat on the bed and supported himself with his hands. He raised his head in a very comfortable position, making his legs look even longer.

The light from the incandescent lamp was too glaring. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the light. He sneered when he heard Yan Xia’s words.

Yan Xia’s heart sank, knowing that he was going to mock her again.

“See who the owner is before you hit the dog.”
