“Yaoyao…” Li Meiling and Xu Junxi rushed forward and surrounded Ning Yao. Xu Junxi held Ning Yao’s injured hand on his palm and asked softly, “Yaoyao, where… did it…”

Before he managed to ask “did it hurt”, there was another splash of warm water along with some tea leaves doused on Ning Yao’s face.

Everyone at the scene was shocked at the unexpected turn of event.

There was a servant that looked at Ning Yao. They heard Ning Yao scream as though she was afraid that it might ruin her face. The delicate makeup on her face smudged and the way she looked with tea leaves on her face was funny.

There was also a servant who covered her mouth and laughed in silence.

“Ning Qing, you!” No matter how strong one’s will power was, she wouldn’t be able to keep calm when her daughter was splashed with a cup of tea. Li Meiling stared at her as she spoke with her teeth clenched.

“Aunt Lee, what did I do? You’re so fierce, I’m so scared.” Ning Qing took one step forward and looked at Li Meiling with her squinted beautiful eyes innocently. She was sending her message straightforwardly, Li Meiling, there are so many outsiders here. Pick up your mask and take care of your image.

Li Meiling nearly spat out a mouthful of blood. She never thought she would lose against a young girl after being around this long.

However, experience counts. She quickly shed a few teardrops and cried, “Qingqing, why do you have to treat Yaoyao like that? Come to me if you are unhappy with us!”

Her voice successfully attracted Ning Zhenguo from the study room. Ning Zhenguo ran down the stairs and saw the scene, he immediately reprimanded, “Ning Qing, what kind of mess are you making? Who let you bully Aunt Li and Yaoyao?”

Ning Qing lost hope in her father long ago. The more cold and detached she was, the happier her smile seemed, “Dad, Aunt Li told Yaoyao to apologize to me and said that it’s all Yaoyao’s fault. I thought if Yaoyao is at fault, as a sister, I definitely have to teach her a lesson for her to turn over a new leaf.”
