It was funny how the young maid described their interaction as intimate when the two of them barely exchanged a word because the situation around them was too tense. Su Feng drank his wine with a serious expression then occasionally glanced at the direction where his father was supposed to come while Jin Hua was lost in her own thoughts, wondering what would become the relationship between her and Jin Kai after all this over.
Does she have brotherly love for Jin Kai, unlikely...
Jin Kai had been the source of her hardship and tribulations for a long time, because of him she has to live her life like walking on eggshells, because of Jin Kai she couldn't show her weaknesses, she was always cautious and never let anyone know her thoughts.
Jin Hua herself doesn't realize how constrained she was in the Misty Lake clan, only when she spends her time with Jin Hao, Bei Li Yan in the Hei Shen sect that she was finally able to let her guard down and become the girl she used to be it felt like she's finally able to breathe again.
Jin Hua take a sip of her tea then a light flashed in her eyes the grip on her teacup subconsciously tighten a determination laced in her face.
All of a sudden she was startled with high pitch voice fill with accusation "What are you doing here, don't you come here to meet me?!"
Jin Hua raised her head in slow motion as she had not gathered her thoughts, yet she was already greeted by Su Miou Lin's fiery eyes and she glared dagger at Jin Hua like a girlfriend caught her cheating lover, Su Miou Lin's nose flares with hot breath and her chest moving up and down rapidly.
"Xiou Yan, I can't believe you only came here to seduce my cousin, I thought you were a good woman but you turn out nothing but a vixen who eager to enter the Su family, what's wrong with you? is being Third Elder disciples isn't enough for you ?!" Su Miou Lin said with heavy sarcasm.
"SU MIOU LIN!" Su Feng hit the table hard and abruptly stood up from his seat, his face was tight from holding his rage there was a glint of disappointment clearly showing in his eyes.
Su Miou Lin was dumbfounded that her gentle eldest cousin who had never raised his voice suddenly berated her, for a moment she froze in shock.
However Su Feng didn't stop there as he begin to yell at her "Who taught you to talk like that with other people, didn't anyone teach you about manners? what kinda noble's daughter who talk like you, how much you want to embarrass the Su family, huh!" Su Feng's voice trembled with wild anger due to the combination of shame and pent-up stress that he had endured for a long time.
Su Feng glanced at Jin Hua in shame if only he didn't know Jin Hua's identity he wouldn't feel so embarrassed what makes things worst he also knows what Jin Hua had sacrificed to help his family and their clan.
Su Feng often heard people quipped how unruly and disrespectful Su Miou Lin was, but he never dwell too much on the matter cause he thought Su Miou Lin was still young so it was okay to be a little willful he also have soft spot for his youngest cousin due to her lost her parents before she old enough to able to remember them, therefore, Su Feng felt sorry for her and tend to overlook her bad behaviour just like the other Su family members.
But now that he met Jin Hua he realized that Su Miou Lin wasn't the only one who lost their parents, she wasn't the only one who had a tragic childhood, compared to what Jin Hua and Jin Hao went through Su Miou Lin was very lucky, despite losing her parents she still has grandfathers, uncles, aunts, and cousins who love and protect her, nor was he ostracized or mistreated by anyone inside or outside the Su family unlike Jin Hua and Jin Hao, everyone in the Su family cater to her every wish in every way, they even let her wreck their perfect main garden into a sea of pink.
Her pitiful past should not give her the right to misbehave, however, Su Feng also had to admit his mistakes and the rest of his entire family to condone Su Mio Lin's bad behavior, it seems that in the future if they survive this disaster he will have to talk to his father and grandfather to re-educate Su Mio Lin before she got worse.
The foolish Su Miou Lin obviously doesn't understand what Jin Kai thinking about, she thinks it's all because Jin Hua seduced her cousin, Su Mio Lin is devastated because her gentle cousin who always spoils her suddenly scolds her for another woman who he has only known for a few days.
Su Mio Lin's maid who complained about Jin Hua before also seeing everything that happened from afar like Su Miou Lin she was also shocked she didn't expect Su Feng to defend the woman that he just met a few days ago, the young maid gritted her teeth in utter jealousy she decided not to let Jin Hua seduce Su Feng any further.
Meanwhile, Jin Hua felt guilty how people thought she had a relationship with Su Feng, she tried to remember which of her actions could lead people to misunderstand her, well… she got nothing, she never met Su Feng in person, there is always someone else present when they were met or the other Su Family members will be there too like today in the study room, but Jin Hua forgot that people might not know this because they were so discreet so Jin kai spies will not notice.
Overwhelmed by shock, fear, and disappointment because Su Mio Lin was adamant she had done nothing wrong, soon tears welled up in her eyes as she whined in a choking voice, "Why are you mad at me? I'm telling the truth this woman is no good, she is a sly woman who wants to enter our family, why don't you believe me?"
"SILENCE!" anger pulsed through his veins he glanced at Jin Hua with regret, he never thought he will ever feel so embarrassed like this, not only is Jin Hua from the Jin family she is also Jin Hao's sister the last thing she needs to do is bend her knees in front of the Su family, on the contrary, the Su family will be blessed if Jin Hua wants to marry into her family….wait, where did that thought come from?
Su Feng shook his head, then he turned to Jin Hua and glared "Apologies to Miss Ji….Miss Xiao!" he said in a commanding tone.
Su Miou Lin widen her eyes in disbelieved never in her life she feel so betrayed by her own family "NO!" she yell defiantly.
"Su Miou Lin!" Su Feng warns her in loud voice.
"I wasn't wrong!" she stamped her feet furiously then snorted at Jin Hua arrogantly before she left the place dramatically.
Jin Hua was silent why did he make a mistake? if he wanted to seduce someone it wasn't Su Feng even though he was quite handsome, refined, and exude a gentle scholar aura he wasn't her type if she had that much courage he would rather use it for a beautiful man with a luxurious red robe who got a devious smile that could melt every man and woman heart.
Only now Su Feng realized now how stubborn Su Miou Lin was and she also annoying too!"Miss Jin Hua, I hope you forgive Su Miou Lin she just....." Su Feng swallow his words as he realized his habit of brushing off Su Miou Lin's bad behaviour
Jin Hua gave an understanding smile not because he cared, on the contrary, he didn't care because Su Miou lin wasn't the problem, but Su Feng misunderstood he thought Jin Hua was very generous because of that his admiration for Jin Hua increased. . again.
Not long after Su Sheng came towards them with hasty and irregular steps, he looked at them with a tense expression as if he couldn't wait to talk to them, Su Sheng instantly felt tense, Jin Hua also felt a little worried she hope nothing bad happened to Su Sheng's wife.
When Su Sheng finally arrived in front of them, Su Feng immediately asked, "What's wrong with mother, is she okay, is the medicine not working?" his voice almost wavered with sadness.
Su Sheng immediately took his son's hand and hold it tightly than with a trembling voice she say: "No...I mean the medicine worked, your mother fell asleep after I made her tea but soon she woke up with a dazed look at first I thought she was going to yell again or have a tantrum or something but no, she smiled at me, she finally smiles at me again! it was as if she just woke up from a nightmare, Su Feng your mother is healed" Su Sheng's face was dazzled with joy.
"So the Miracle water worked! IT WORKS!" Su Feng exclaimed in complete Joy.
"Yes, she's still a bit weak and quiet but at least her eyes are getting clearer now my guess is she'll be fine after drinking more of that miracle water!" Su Sheng also couldn't contain his happiness, no one could imagine how stressed he was to see his beloved wife slowly sinking into her uncontrollable anger and madness he could finally rest his heart in peace.
Miracle water sounds a fitting name, it really feels like a miracle one minute his wife looks at him like she can't wait to slit his throat then another minute after she drinks the water his wife looks at him with the same loving eyes she used to see him if it's not a miracle he doesn't know what it is.
