Chapter 34 - Home. (2/2)
Yan Luan stared at her elder sister’s actions as she played with the jade bracelet on her wrist, If no one had saved me that day, she would’ve probably stared down grinning at my crumpled body and claimed that I deserved it…
Yan Jing’s eyes narrowed at the filthy hands that were hugging his legs, hence kicking her away from himself swiftly, but Yan Fei had only turned towards Yan Luan as she sobbed miserably, “Ah Luan, Ah Luan! I beg of you, seeing as we had been sisters for years, please forgive me! I really had no intention of murdering you!”
“Sisters? It was Chu YunShang’s idea right, no wonder she had gotten into a fight with Jiang FuYuan suddenly, that was to give you the opportunity to strike, huh? How were you two going to explain if your plan had worked, that I have slipped and fell? Or perhaps by then, you would’ve been weeping near my dead body with words of regret, claiming that you couldn’t save me on time?”
She had figured it out, Chu YunShang had suddenly gotten into a fight with her best friend all of a sudden, while she had left the changing room and stood waiting on the corridor, but it was all a ploy to create an opportunity for Yan Fei to strike.
Yan Fei froze in shock at her words, as if her entire plan had been seen through.
“N…No! Ah Luan, it really wasn’t my intention to push you, when I came back to my senses, you were already falling! I swear it will never happen again, please, have mercy on me!”
Yan Luan, old and new, had never cared much for this sister of hers because Yan Fei’s well-being was of insignificance to her, but now, after undergoing the trauma of the near-death experience…
As if noticing his sister’s slight trembling, Yan Jing’s slight grin curved up into a full grin as he turned his sharp gaze onto his own father, “As Father had suggested, since we’re family, we’ll skip the death sentence.”
Both Yan Fei and Yan Rong stared at him in disbelief and joy upon hearing his declaration, “Seriously? Then father will…” Yan Rong cried out in relief.
Yan Jing waved his hand impatiently, he had no patience at all for his father’s words of gratitude and the pretense of a happy family. He spun the huge ring on his finger before continuing on casually, “I’m serious, but even though she would escape the death sentence, she will not miss any punishments allocated.”
Yan Fei had stopped crying the moment she heard his words, and she was now prostrating under Yan Jing’s legs in joy, “Elder brother, I’m willing to accept any punishments, as long as you spare my life, I’ll do anything!”
“That’s for sure, in that case, we’ll call for the Family Disciplinary Laws,” Yan Rong knew that even though his favorite daughter was saved, there was no way she could escape being punished, and the Family Disciplinary Laws were the cruelest punishments that he knew.
“Family Disciplinary Laws?” Yan Jing raised his eyebrows at the pair, as if he had heard a funny joke.
Yan Luan felt her heart pause for a second upon hearing her elder brother’s words, because from what she know about him from the days spent together.
The kinder he looked, the crueler his thoughts were.
She stared at her so-called father and her so-called elder sister while shaking her head slightly at their imminent doom.
“We’ll skip the Family Disciplinary Laws, as an illegitimate child is not deserving of such. I’m leaning more onto ‘an eye for an eye’ method though…” Yan Jing declared gently, “Men, take her to the LingFeng Pavilion, I will personally push her from the second floor, but she’ll probably be fine, as she claimed. What do you think, Ah Luan?”
“Whatever elder brother says.” Yan Luan coughed awkwardly at the sudden attention, cautiously avoiding the shocked stares of her father and her sister before gripping tightly onto her fan.
She’s a little scared of Yan Jing now…
