Chapter 92: Chapter 92: Feigning Weakness to Invite Bullying

He Min was furious and said angrily, "What are you looking at me for? I didn’t hit her, what does her stomach pain have to do with me? Moreover, in my opinion, she’s just faking it, deliberately framing me."

"What’s going on?" He Tingchen asked Mrs. Chen.

Mrs. Chen glanced at He Min cautiously and reported truthfully to He Tingchen, "I’m not entirely clear on the specifics either. Mrs. Liao came to visit the old master, and then she came to visit the wife. I don’t know what they talked about, but Mrs. Liao got angry, slapped the table, and yelled at the wife. Right after that, the wife started screaming about stomach pain. I think she was probably frightened."

"You old thing, knowing nothing and you dare spout nonsense here? Whose food do you eat, whose salary do you take? How can you side with an outsider?" He Min was livid, pointing at Mrs. Chen and cursing her.

Mrs. Chen, with her head down, responded honestly, "I certainly haven’t forgotten that I take the He family’s salary and eat the He family’s food. I’m not siding with outsiders. The master asked me, and I told him the truth. Should I have hidden it from the master? If so, then that would truly be letting down the master’s trust and the He family’s food."

"Tingchen, it’s not like what you think. I did scold her in anger, but this girl actually threatened me," He Min quickly explained to He Tingchen.

He Tingchen frowned and went upstairs without heeding her.

Fang Anning was lying in bed and felt much better after having a dose of medicine to stabilize her pregnancy.

He asked Fang Anning, "What happened?"

Anning shook her head and said apologetically, "It’s nothing. It was my fault for being insensitive and angering Mrs. Liao. Please don’t scold me, I’m afraid it will make my stomach hurt again. I was truly scared just now, afraid that something might happen to the child."

"Did my aunt scold you? Why?" He Tingchen asked.

Anning hesitated and said softly, "It’s my fault for saying the wrong thing and offending Mrs. Liao. She’s an elder; it’s only right for her to scold me. I know I shouldn’t have made Mrs. Liao angry, I’m sorry."

"It’s not your fault, rest well."

After saying that, He Tingchen went downstairs.

Downstairs, He Min was angrily chastising Mrs. Chen.

Accusing her of being ungrateful, and how quickly Fang Anning had bought her over.

Was she now colluding with Fang Anning to set her up?

Mrs. Chen didn’t argue, standing there and taking the scolding obediently.

When He Tingchen came down, he told Mrs. Chen to leave.

Mrs. Chen immediately nodded and left without paying attention to He Min.

He Min then hurriedly said to He Tingchen, "Tingchen, you have to believe me, I’m your aunt. Everything I’ve done since you were little was for you."

He Tingchen said, "I know my aunt has great affection and loyalty towards me, but aunt, I’ve grown up. I can handle many things myself, so you don’t need to trouble yourself. You should just take care of yourself. I’ll settle Xiao Feng down as soon as I can, so she can have a son or daughter for you. Then you can enjoy your old age and play with your grandchildren."

He Min looked at him in shock and asked, "You still don’t believe me, you believe that girl?"

He Tingchen said, "I only believe in the facts."

"Tingchen, don’t be confused. That girl is not as simple as you think, don’t be deceived by her," He Min said urgently.

He Tingchen snorted with laughter and slowly asked, "Aunt, do you think I’m someone who can be easily deceived?"

He Min fell silent.

Indeed, her nephew had always been clever, how could he be so easily deceived?

"It’s my over-concern. Since everything is under your control, I have nothing more to say. I shouldn’t have come to see her; I’ll be going now."

After saying that, He Min left with a stern face.

He Tingchen went back upstairs, and Fang Anning had sat up in bed.

When she saw He Tingchen come up, she quickly asked in a panic, "Where’s Mrs. Liao? Has she left? I still want to apologize to her."

"You want to apologize to her?" He Tingchen asked, "What have you done wrong?"

Anning lowered her head and said, "Though I feel I didn’t do anything wrong, I’m at fault since Mrs. Liao got angry. So, apologizing is never wrong."

"You’re not someone who can be bullied so easily, so don’t put on this weak and pitiable act with me," He Tingchen said coldly.

Fang Anning was startled, involuntarily biting her lip.

She thought, could it be that he knew she had done it on purpose?

Impossible, there are surveillance cameras in the living room, but they don’t record sound, so it’s completely impossible for him to have heard what she said to He Min.

The only one who could have heard their conversation was Mrs. Chen.

Mrs. Chen probably doesn’t have a good impression of He Min, otherwise, she wouldn’t have specifically come to remind her to be cautious of He Min.

Her voice when speaking to He Min had been so quiet that even if Mrs. Chen eavesdropped, she should not have been able to hear what she said.

But He Min’s angry outburst and cursing at her must have been audible to Mrs. Chen.

He Tingchen just needs to ask Mrs. Chen what happened, and she would certainly tell He Tingchen everything she heard and saw.

No matter what, He Min can’t wash away the suspicion.

Therefore, He Tingchen has no reason to know that she deliberately provoked He Min, making He Min unable to restrain her anger.

Could it be that he was purposely toying with her?

"I indeed am not a person who can be bullied easily, but she is your aunt, not just anyone. If she were just anyone, I would have slapped her out of anger long ago. But she is your aunt, can I beat or scold her? Other than endurance, what do you think I can do?"

Fang Anning raised her head and looked at him sadly, her voice trailing off as her eyes began to turn red, tears swirling in her eyes.

He Tingchen gazed at her with a heavy look.

As if trying to discern from her eyes how much of her words were true or false.

Fang Anning faced him, her expression resolute, yet her eyes pitiful and filled with grievance.

"You should rest well."

Finally, He Tingchen withdrew his deep gaze, whispered to her gently, and then stood up to leave.

"Whew."

Fang Anning let out a long sigh of relief after he had gone.

He didn’t see through it, right?

It was too frightening.

Indeed, He Tingchen was not a man easy to fool; this tactic could only be used once and must never be repeated a second time.

Of course, He Min is not a fool either.

Having been manipulated by her this time, how would she possibly fall for it a second time?

And this time, she must have completely offended He Min.

This woman was obviously not the generous type; trouble with her was probably unavoidable in the future.

"I really just want to give birth to you safely, take that money and leave. Why is it so difficult."

Fang Anning sighed and gently touched her stomach, comforting the little baby inside.

Sure enough, before long, Liao Hanfeng called her, angrily demanding on the phone, "What’s the matter with you, how did you offend my mother?"

"I dare not offend her, it’s your mother who deliberately troubled me, okay?" said Fang Anning.

After speaking, she asked with a downhearted tone, "What should I do to make her calm down, to forgive me?"

"It won’t be easy, she’s exceptionally angry this time, and she even scolded me when she got back. She said if I defended you again, she wouldn’t let me off. Big sister, can’t you just be a little more peaceful? Out of all people, why provoke her?"

"You think I want to?" Fang Anning said, speechless.

Done for, just as she had feared.

It looked like there were no good days ahead.
