Chapter 939 - 940: Nianyang Awakens (Part 4)

No matter how stubborn Luo Xia was, she couldn’t withstand the pressure from Li Tingyan and the old Master Chu, both seasoned in the storms of blood and darkness.

Her expression changed repeatedly until she finally knelt on the ground with a thud, crying bitterly, "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to, I just wanted to see if Miss Chu would react, and accidentally..."

"So, you deliberately pushed Nini?"

Li Tingyan’s entire demeanor turned menacing, as if he wished to snap Luo Xia’s neck on the spot.

Seeing this, everyone else started angrily cursing.

Under the onslaught from everyone, Luo Xia trembled all over, not daring to speak another word.

Li Tingyan suddenly reached out, grasping Luo Xia like a chick, and dragged her to the hillside, mercilessly pushing her down.

"Ah!"

Luo Xia wasn’t as lucky as Nianyang, rolling directly into a mud pit, swallowing a mouthful of moss, and the impact made a hole in her forehead, blood flowing out.

Li Tingyan looked at her coldly, "An eye for an eye, I also accidentally pushed you to see if you’d react. Do you find it fun now?"

Luo Xia crawled out, sobbing and hiccuping,

"I was wrong, I know I was wrong, I didn’t mean to."

Li Tingyan said disdainfully, "From now on, you don’t need to take care of Nini. Also, your actions disqualify you from working at the bodyguard company. I’ll have them handle you for attempted murder!"

At these words, Luo Xia panicked, immediately kneeling to plead, "I... I was wrong, I know I was wrong, please don’t do this, haven’t you made me suffer as Miss Chu did, can’t that be enough?"

"Enough? Who do you think you are, to compare yourself to my wife!?"

Li Tingyan’s voice was full of anger; ever since the incident with Nianyang, he had become extremely irritable, and as he spoke, the veins on his forehead stood out,

"You know full well, Nini is my meticulously cared-for treasure, one I never let a hair out of place on, who are you to hurt her?

If I weren’t worried about no one being there to care for Nini if I went to jail, I’d kill you now!"

Hearing this, Luo Xia no longer dared to plead, kneeling there with a bleak face, truly regretting.

She shouldn’t have acted out of pure spite, resenting her assignment as a caretaker for a ’fool’, leading her to make such a grave mistake.

Now look at her, not only can she no longer be a bodyguard, but she might be detained, bearing a blemish, and forever barred from re-entering the bodyguard company. She ruined herself.

Li Tingyan saw through Luo Xia’s thoughts, snorted coldly, "Luo Xia, if you had just quietly and honestly completed your task of taking care of Nannan, I had planned to remember this favor and arrange a more decent job for you later. But it’s a pity you didn’t cherish it, all of this is your own doing."

The bodyguard company was also under the jurisdiction of Li Tingyan’s Sea Merchant Company.

Like the final straw that broke the camel’s back, Luo Xia was so provoked that she let out a scream and passed out.

Both the Chu and Li families detested her to the core, ignoring her and going directly to eat before heading home in a grand return.

Along the way, Yunrou, Shang Wan, and Liu Yue were all still muttering about how there could be such a wicked person; truly, the human heart can be unpredictable.

Li Tingyan was genuinely frightened too, holding Nianyang, he said, "Grandpa Chu, Mom and Dad, I think it’s best not to hire a nanny for Nini anymore, let me protect her myself. I really don’t want to entrust Nini’s safety to anyone else."
