Chapter 122 – Cut Flesh With A Blunt Knife! (1/2)

Chapter 122: Cut flesh with a blunt knife! 第一百二十二章、那是割肉!

“You better leave, I will never go back with you. You don't need to say anything, I won't listen, I won't listen——”

Li s.h.i.+nian burst into tears and cried uncontrollably.

The world is too cruel, that it makes people give up all hope.

Why did something like this happen?

Why did I have to know the truth after it happened?

Why can't they let me live a simple and happy life?

Those elders, they are so selfish—-how could they have the nerve to come and acknowledge me now?

“s.h.i.+nian, what are you talking about?” Luo Qi scolded quietly. “How could you talk to MIss—-auntie like that?”

Li s.h.i.+nian pushed the n.o.ble woman forcefully, ran to Luo Qi and hugged her tightly: “Mum, I'm not leaving, I won't go with her——”

Luo Qi was startled, stuttered a reply: “you—know?”

She still haven't decided yet but Li s.h.i.+nian was able to guess what's on her own mind——how could her child be this smart?

“Mum——” Li s.h.i.+nian cried even harder. “I will not go with her. I don't care who she is. I don't care where she's going to take me. I will not go with her. I'm your daughter, I used to be, and I always will be. I'm not going, I'm not going anywhere, I will always stay here by your side——”

Luo Qi tightly wrapped her arms around her daughter, then let out a long sigh: “silly girl, you're not the only one going, all of us are going—–”

“Together?” Li s.h.i.+nian looked at her mother, her eyes wide with surprise: “you and father——will come with me?”

“Yes.” Luo Qi nodded. “We came from that place, in the end we have to go back—-we can't live in Jiangnan city anymore.”

“Mum what's going on?” Li s.h.i.+nian's eyes were wide open and her mouth slightly hanging open, like a curious baby waiting for her mother's explanation.

Luo Qi's eyes s.h.i.+fted over to Li Yan. “You explain to our child.”

Li Yan said awkwardly: “this kind of thing, it's better if you explain it. I'm stupid, I'm afraid I will explain it badly.”

“——-”

Without choice, Luo Qi looked at Li s.h.i.+nian and carefully explained: “you also know that recently a lot of things have happened. Last time an a.s.sa.s.sin attacked us we were all wounded. If it weren't for that young master Yan Xiangma, our family would have died. Today, some people appeared suddenly in our house and aimed their sword at your father and me. If these people did not arrive in time, we would have been slashed to death and you wouldn't see us when you came back—– ”

“Lady knows we're having a difficult time in Jiangnan, so she came to collect us back to Tiandu. Your father and I originally had some hesitation, after all, we've lived in Jiangnan for so many years, we have deep feelings to everything around us. But you came back and said you encountered some ugly monsters at the lake and they tried to kill you—-We can't live in Jiangnan any longer. I thought about it, this time we will go back to Tiandu with Lady.”

The woman in black exclaimed joyfully: “Luo Qi, you promise?”

“MIss——” Luo Qi said with a complicated expression on her face. “I kindly ask for Miss's protection.”

The woman in black held Luo Qi's hand, her eyes welled with tears: “what are you saying? You and I are like sisters, also—-also I owe you a lot. No matter what I will protect you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have travelled such a long distance to Jiangnan. I know your temper, I know other people won't be able to ask you to come back, so I personally came here—-This time those people were not fully prepared but next time it would be different. Jiangnan is dangerous now, the sooner you leave the better. We could take care of you in Tiandu. You shall live in the Liu mansion, no one can hurt you there.”

“We put ourselves completely in your hand.” Luo Qi nodded.

“Good. You should pack now, we will set out immediately.” The woman in black said.

“Mum, I am—-your daughter?” Li s.h.i.+nian's glance swept over to the woman in black then back at mother Luo Qi as she asked aloud.

Luo Qi smacked Li s.h.i.+nian's head and scolded loudly: “what are you thinking? Hurry, go pack.”
