Chapter 966: Raised Wrong
Zhuang Yi paused, looking at Mu Yan’s cold face, and quickly said, "I don’t think that way, you wouldn’t do such a thing.""Why wouldn’t I?" Mu Yan retorted, "Maybe it was me, perhaps I’m the one who deliberately sought revenge on Zhuang Chujiao, causing her to fall down the stairs."
The scene flashed through Zhuang Yi’s mind, and he hesitated for a moment, quickly dismissing it as impossible.
"You’re not that kind of person."
"No, I am that kind of person." Mu Yan countered, "I’m not as kind as you think, and I can even tell you that for the rest of my life, I will be at odds with Zhuang Chujiao and Liang Rong, and if given a chance, I won’t let them have an easy time."
Zhuang Yi stared blankly at the fierce girl in front of him, as if he didn’t recognize her.
Mu Yan had no interest in caring about his feelings now, as everyone was trying to bully her, treating her like a pushover.
She’s not a saint who can forgive those who hurt her.
Paths that diverge cannot be pursued together, so upon meeting again after over a decade, she can’t trust and rely on him like before.
Has he changed? Yes, he wouldn’t stand by her without hesitation like he used to, and she has changed too.
Mu Yan walked past him, returning to her room.
Zhuang Yi stayed where he was, letting her leave, feeling the urge to give himself a slap.
They hoped for peace, thinking she’d be obedient and not mind, but they forgot she is a person too, capable of feeling wronged.
Moreover, during those years they didn’t know about, she was no longer the gentle and obedient little girl who followed her family’s every word, or she wouldn’t have been able to take care of her stepbrother alone for so many years after her mother’s death.
Sometimes, the environment forces a person to grow.
He always thought her return to the Zhuang Family was a fulfillment for everyone, but actually, they were only satisfying their own guilt.
And she was always considerate in catering to them, but in the end, they took advantage of her kindness.
In the hospital room, Zhuang Chujiao lay on the bed, her right foot in a cast, elevated high, with gauze on her forehead, her wrist wrapped in gauze too, looking quite badly injured.
Liang Rong and Zhuang Shaoyang had arrived at noon and stayed with her until now.
Checking the time, Liang Rong said, "It’s getting late, you should go back and rest."
Zhuang Shaoyang glanced at his watch, it was nearly ten o’clock, indeed quite late.
He nodded and said, "Then I’ll leave Jiaojiao in your care tonight, tomorrow I’ll arrange for two nurses to come and accompany her."
"It’s no trouble, I’m her mom, taking care of her is my duty." Liang Rong smiled.
Zhuang Shaoyang knew she’s always attentive to their children, which put his mind at ease.
"Call me if anything happens." He said, then looked at Zhuang Chujiao, "Jiaojiao, take good care of yourself."
"I know." Zhuang Chujiao replied obediently, paired with her injuries, she looked pitiful.
A pang of heartache surfaced in Zhuang Shaoyang’s eyes, "Be more careful in the future, don’t be so reckless."
"Dad, you’ve said that many times beside my ears, I know." Zhuang Chujiao whined, sounding impatient, yet she still had the charmingly spoiled demeanor of a daughter, making her even more endearing.
Zhuang Shaoyang chuckled, "If you know, then be good."
He thought of something and asked her, "Tell me honestly, did you instruct Guan Chao to attack Nuannuan?"
Zhuang Chujiao’s expression shifted slightly and then turned a little displeased, "Dad, are you suspecting me?"
Seeing Zhuang Chujiao’s aggrieved look, Zhuang Shaoyang’s face turned unpleasant, it seemed he had spoiled this child all these years.
Heart of a viper, yet still unrepentant!
