Chapter 125: with translation of chapter title

Wen Ling woke up, casually picked one of Zhou Yinhe's cars, and drove to the Qin Family.

The Qin Family has been bustling lately; Qin Siyan and Ruan MiaoMiao often come to the Qin Family, and when Wen Ling arrived, she happened to run into them again.

She seems to always run into the commotion, which greatly satisfies Wen Ling's curiosity.

She again stood in the entryway watching the commotion; the butler saw her again, noticed her lively expression, came over and whispered: "The young mistress is here today."

Wen Ling suddenly understood, nodded, put a finger to her lips in a shushing gesture, signaling the butler to leave, and she stayed alone to watch the show.

The butler understood, turned and walked back to his original position.

Liushutong crossed her legs, casually watching the weak Qin Siyan and Ruan MiaoMiao mother and daughter crying before her, holding her tea and occasionally taking a sip.

Upon seeing her, Qin Siyan didn't even regard her, stopped crying and making a fuss, gritted her teeth and stared: "Liushutong! No matter what, I am your future aunt, yet you treat me like this?".

Liushutong looked at her doubtfully: "How have I treated you? Aunt, I am listening to you seriously."

"You!" Qin Siyan was about to point at her, but the scene of Zhou Yinhe's bodyguard breaking her fingers last time was vivid in her mind; she moved her bandaged fingers and dared not point.

Ruan MiaoMiao bit her lip, her voice trembling with sobs: "Sister-in-law, your sister bullies me like this, she has a misunderstanding about me—don't you even know what kind of person I am?"

Liushutong raised an eyebrow, curled her lips, and said nothing.

"Those are all misunderstandings, sister-in-law; we've known each other longer than you and Wen Ling have, so why do you believe my sister and not me?"

"Believe you about what?" Liushutong chuckled, counter-questioning: "What do you want me to believe about you? That you didn't stir up Qin Yuyang to go warn Wen Ling not to come to the Qin Family? Or that you didn't spread rumors about Wen Ling outside? Or that you didn't do those things?"

Ruan MiaoMiao clenched her fists, shook her head: "These really aren't my doing; I can explain them to you."

"No need, Ruan MiaoMiao." Liushutong lowered her eyes at her fresh manicure, drawling: "Even if you explain, I won't believe you; I don't know why your earlier words convinced so many, but I only know I won't believe you."

"Liushutong! Is this how the Liu Family educates you?" Qin Siyan could no longer contain herself, stood up and shouted angrily: "You are supposed to marry into our Qin Family; if you treat elders this way, I will certainly not let you marry into our Qin Family!".

Hearing that, Liushutong almost laughed, clapped her hands and said: "How about this: I'll send you my parents' contact info, including my grandparents and uncle; you contact them and tell them I disrespect elders, and you can cancel the engagement on behalf of the Qin Family."

"You, you are simply—" Qin Siyan trembled with rage; Ruan MiaoMiao couldn't hold her back, and Qin Siyan strode forward, raising her hand to strike Liushutong.

Liushutong seized her wrist, flung it away harshly, and said coldly: "Don't play the senior in front of me—are you even an elder?"

Qin Siyan, from the force, fell straight to the ground; Ruan MiaoMiao rushed forward to help her up, while Liushutong stood before them, looking down.

"Don't say you're merely a daughter-in-law despised by the Qin Family; even if you are my aunt, committing such a disgraceful act, I can still humiliate you."

The mother and daughter—one slumped on the ground, the other kneeling to help—both lifted their eyes to Liushutong, her gaze making their hearts skip.

Wen Ling finally appeared, walked over slowly, squatted beside them, and reached out to help Qin Siyan.

Qin Siyan stared for a moment, about to shake off her hand, but Wen Ling gripped her arm tightly and pulled her up.

While pulling, she said: "Aunt, have you ever considered that the way you teach your daughter, just like yourself, is right or wrong?"

Qin Siyan opened her mouth to scold her, but Wen Ling continued: "My mother, considering you her own sister, has never held anything against you; I never expected you to bully her and still not be satisfied, even dragging Ruan MiaoMiao to bully me."

Ruan MiaoMiao dropped the act and shouted: "Wen Ling, you wretch, you actually dare to come watch our joke?!"

Wen Ling snorted, loosened her grip on the swaying Qin Siyan, and said lightly: "Yeah, after watching your joke and telling others, it could become one of the funniest jokes in people's minds these past few years."

The mother and daughter's similar faces stared fixedly at Wen Ling, but she shrugged, stepped forward, linked arms with Liushutong, and went to look at her manicure.

"How pretty, Shutong sister; do you have anything this afternoon? If not, come with me to get a manicure."

"Sure." Liushutong made no secret of her affection for Wen Ling, lifted her eyes to the butler, and ordered: "Butler, keep an eye on them; if they want to leave, let them leave; if they don't, they are not allowed to go anywhere except the living room."

The butler's bland gaze swept over the mother and daughter, then after withdrawing his sight he respectfully nodded.

They no longer looked at Qin Siyan and Ruan MiaoMiao, walked out together, and Wen Ling said as they walked: "Shutong sister, Zhou Yinhe hasn't been around these two days; I'm about to die of boredom—are you busy lately? If not, let's hang out."

"Not busy; you can go wherever you want to play, just call me."

"Great, great."

Their voices faded away, while Qin Siyan and Ruan MiaoMiao's faces grew worse and worse.

"Butler." Qin Siyan frowned at the silent butler standing aside and snapped: "Can't you tell who's the master of the Qin Family? I am the eldest daughter of the Qin Family, MiaoMiao is the cousin daughter, and Liushutong hasn't even married into the Qin Family yet—you're already treating her like a dog?"

The butler lowered his eyes, calmly said: "Miss, I am merely following the young master's orders; although the young mistress hasn't married the young master yet, she is the Qin Family young mistress known to everyone in Sijiucheng, so listening to her is proper."

"Then you listen to her—does that mean you can disrespect me?" Qin Siyan turned to go upstairs, the butler stepped alongside to block her, expressionless: "Miss, please don't make things difficult for me."

"Get lost."

The butler stood unmoving; Qin Siyan reached to push him, but Ruan MiaoMiao hurriedly stopped her, and the two stumbled out of the Qin Family while pulling at each other.

"Why are you stopping me?"

"Mom, we can't keep causing trouble; continuing like this won't do us any good."

"It's all Qin Siqing's fault; if it weren't for her, how would we mother and daughter have ended up like this?"

……

The butler stood at the doorway, silently watching their receding backs, snorted coldly, turned back to the living room, and ordered the servants to clean it thoroughly, missing no corner.

Wen Ling drove, Liushutong sat in the passenger seat, curiously glancing at the car's interior décor.

"This is Zhou Yinhe's car, right?"
