Mu Yuehan saw how Zhou Liying changed from a fragile, weak and broken girl to a strong woman within a few seconds. By the time she stepped out of the car, she was no longer lost in her own world.
Her eyes which were filled with pain were now empty. The woman who looked as if she’d fall any second now stood tall and strong.
Zhou Liying clenched her fist tight, hiding her all true emotions. Her heart was thumping fast in fear. Her blood was going downwards, not knowing what was going to happen in the future, but her face held a calm expression.
She did not let any true emotion appear on her face. She knew, her uncle’s family would be waiting for her, ready to criticise her and she did not want to come in front of them as someone who was broken. Moreover, she wanted to be strong for her grandfather. She could not let him see the broken her.
She took a deep breath and entered the hospital. Mu Yuehan closely followed behind her.
«You stay behind. My uncle’s family will be there. I don’t want them to use you to attack me.» She ordered. Her voice was chilly. Mu Yuehan shivered.
He knew that she was cold to others but when talking to him, she was never so cold. Somewhere, he had always noticed a warmth in her voice and today it was absent.
Leaving Mu Yuehan behind, Zhou Liying walked toward the emergency room. She nodded at assistant Zhang and then looked at her uncle’s family. Four pairs of eyes were glaring at her, ready to attack her.
«You shameless b! tch. You find the right time to return.» Qin Yihong muttered under his breath. «You left our company in crisis and now you are back when dad is about to die. What a time?»
«Excuse me, did you say something to me?» Zhou Liying blinked her eyes and looked at him without any emotion.
«Yes, I talked with you. You sure have guts. We all forgave you for trying to snatch Fan Yifeng from TongTong then how dare of you to run away from the country.» He gritted his teeth angrily.
It was true, his family did not say anything to Zhou Liying after the party. They only mocked her, nothing more.
«You forgave me?» Zhou Liying asked, faking a surprised expression. «If you forgave me then why the hell did you embarrass me in front of the whole society? Why were the friends of Qin Yutong swearing and b!tching about me, the very next day?»
«It was her friends, not us.» Qin Yihong stood up from his seat and glared at her. «They spoke what they saw.»
«By the way, weren’t they saying the truth? You tried to snatch Fan Yifeng from TongTong.» Huang Jiayi stood from her seat, to support her husband. «We kept quiet about the same. We did not forget that you have the blood of my sister-in-law flowing in your veins. Qin Lijuan…»
«Dare of you to take the name of my mother from your dirty mouth.» Zhou Liying roared
She looked at her. She leaned toward her aunt and glared at her, making the heart of the other party skip a beat in fear. Unconsciously, Huang Jiayi stepped back, feeling a strong aura coming from Zhou Liying.
«Were you going to say, my mother is not proud of me? Let me tell you, my mother is very much proud of me. But what about you, are you proud of your daughter? Huh?» she looked at her with challenging eyes.
«You always mocked my mother for getting pregnant out of wedlock but what about your daughter? Isn’t she pregnant out of wedlock? Isn’t she a mistress now? What about her, ha?» She bombed and looked at her with disgust. She was breathing hard with anger.
Huang Jiayi raged when she heard Zhou Liying criticising her daughter. «How dare of you to call her a mistress?»Tôp 𝒏𝒐v𝒆l updates on n/(o)/v/𝒆lb/in(.)com
She was about to slap her but Zhou Liying took hold of her wrist in a tight grip. Huang Jiayi winced in pain.
«Qin Tian, how dare of you to hold the hand of my mother like this.» Qin Yutong hollered and walked to help her mother.
Zhou Liying like an expert placed her feet under her leg to make her fall. Before Qin Yutong could fall, Zhou Liying helped her back. She looked at her mockingly.
«Careful, what would have happened to your key to easily enter Fan family if something has happened to your baby due to your fall?» Zhou Liying mocking looked at her and then at her flat belly.
«You…. how dare of you to place your foot under my leg?» Qin Yutong fumed and was about to attack her when Zhou Liying pushed her back.
«Don’t forget that you are pregnant. Fighting with me or getting angry at me will not be good for your baby.» Zhou Liying narrowed her eyes at her.
Qin Yutong stomped her feet and sat back on her seat. Zhou Liying smirked and then looked at her uncle and aunt.
«What were you saying, blood relation and all? Let me tell you, I don’t have any blood relation with any of you. You all are strangers to me.»
Huang Jiayi huffed when she heard her. Earlier, Huang Jiayi used to find excuses to hurt her or bully her but today, she felt inferior to Zhou Liying.
She felt that Zhou Liying was no longer that weak chicken. She had become strong. She knew how to fight for herself. Huang Jiayi didn’t find any guts to stand against her.
She could only think of dirty ways to harm her.
Qin Yihong too huffed in defeat. «Don’t come running to us when you need money?»
Zhou Liying chuckled when she heard her uncle. «Do you have any money left? I have heard that the cards of aunt are blocked. Not only that, with my own eyes, I witnessed how Qin Yutong failed to buy a bike for Fan Yifeng.»
The Qin family fisted their hands hard. They were angry at her. What right did she have to criticise them? It was her fault that they were suffering? She left their company in crisis!
So, she had no right to criticise them. She should not forget how they had looked after her when her mother died. They gave her a roof to stay under and also food to eat.
She was being ungrateful to them; this was what the Qin family was thinking!
Weren’t they selfish fools!
