Chapter 333: Chapter 332: Taught a Lesson (3 more updates)

Xu Sisi fell asleep again after drinking the porridge, and Xu Niannian looked at her swollen face, growing angrier by the second.

Originally bringing Xu Sisi along was because this girl was active and loved to play; bringing her here was for her to see the world and to have a companion.

She never expected that she would actually get bullied by someone else. How could Xu Niannian possibly tolerate that?

Xu Niannian was usually easygoing so long as no one touched her sore spot.

But once someone did, it wasn’t so easily resolved.

If she and those people had had the conflict that day, she probably would have just dealt with it once and then let it go, and wouldn’t have thought about taking revenge.

But they hurt her family, the people she cared about most in her life and wanted to protect the most.

This little girl cared so much about her looks; now, she must have thought she was ruined and didn’t know how upset she was.

Sisi was too considerate, always not wanting others to worry about her, pretending everything was fine.

This made Xu Niannian feel even more distressed.

On the other hand, Jin Xiaoni and Jin Ruibing returned home, and Jin Ruibing asked her, "Xiao Ni, what exactly happened to you and the others?"

He had been waiting outside the whole time, completely unaware of what she and Yu Feifei had been up to inside, that such an incident had occurred.

Jin Xiaoni’s face was swollen from Xu Niannian’s beating; it was the first time in her life she had been hit by someone else, and she felt extremely wronged.

Upon hearing Jin Ruibing’s questions, she tearfully recounted the events, without exaggeration or embellishment.

After hearing the story, Jin Ruibing simply didn’t know what to say.

"Jin Xiaoni, what should I even say about you? Have you forgotten all the manners and decorum our parents taught you, gone to the dogs? To think you’d team up with that woman Yu Feifei to try to rob someone else’s belongings, has your brain been clogged with pig filth?"

Jin Xiaoni, already feeling aggrieved, had spoken up for Yu Feifei simply because she really liked the clothes and the owner wasn’t present.

When the owner of the clothes returned, hadn’t she been too embarrassed to continue arguing?

When she saw that girl fighting with Yu Feifei over the clothes, she had just tried to pull Yu Feifei away.

But since Yu Feifei kept holding on, she too persisted in holding onto her, only to end up speaking on her behalf in the end.

That resulted in all three of them appearing to be fighting with the girl over the clothes.

If she hadn’t been in the wrong, she would never have let herself be cursed and beaten without fighting back.

Being wrong and unfairly blamed, she felt aggrieved enough, only for her own brother to not only fail to speak up for her but also to rebuke her.

Jin Xiaoni flew into a rage in an instant.

"How can you speak to me like this? When did I team up with Sister Feifei to snatch her clothes? Sister Feifei and I just planned to pay her for them. Later, when she came back and didn’t want to sell, I didn’t speak for Sister Feifei anymore."

As she spoke, Jin Xiaoni burst into tears, wiped away her tears, and said grievously, "All I wanted was to pull Sister Feifei away, not to fight over the clothes with her. Who knew it would tear the clothes and make her fall to the ground? I didn’t want that to happen. Now I’ve already been hit by others, and you still scold me, are you even my brother or not?"

Jin Ruibing was absolutely infuriated by Jin Xiaoni’s foolishness.

"You ask if I’m your brother or not. If I weren’t, I wouldn’t have stood in front of you today, so you could end up like that damned woman, kicked to death by someone—that would spare you your grievance."

"You’ve only been slapped by someone, and you think you’ve suffered the greatest injustice. Did you see? The hand that girl has been covering her face with is already bleeding."

"You’ve completely lost the Jin Family’s face. Sister Feifei, Sister Feifei, you get along so well with her. When you were hit, I didn’t see her standing in front of you to protect you. In the end, who helped you? Wasn’t it still your brother? If you weren’t my sister, I’d be too lazy to discipline you. Do you really think just because everyone in the family dotes on you, you can do whatever you want?"

Jin Xiaoni’s tears streamed down her face. "Jin Ruibing, I hate you."

Jin Ruibing was instantly enraged, "You hate me? You think you’re some treasure, adored by the entire family, and you can’t even admit your mistakes. Is admitting your mistake that difficult?"

"You think you’re the one aggrieved, but why don’t you consider others for a moment? Oh, you think because you didn’t say those things in front of others, you’ve done nothing wrong? What makes you think that when others aren’t around, you can shamelessly help Yu Feifei strong-arm someone’s clothes? Jin Xiaoni, I’m telling you, from today onward, if I catch you with Yu Feifei again, don’t even think of acknowledging me as your brother."

After learning the full story, Jin Ruibing was beside himself with rage; he wondered why he had even bothered to defend his foolish sister.

He should’ve let someone else teach her a harsh lesson.

Now, Jin Xiaoni completely broke down, wailing bitterly.

She knew she was in the wrong.

Had she not known her own fault, she wouldn’t have silently endured being hit by others.

She is a girl, and she has been hit already.

As a brother, couldn’t he have comforted her properly? Instead of interrogating her at this time, and it’s not like she vented her anger on him.

Even though Jin Ruibing cursed, he still felt sorry for his sister.

Seeing her cry like this, he couldn’t bear it.

But it was precisely because she was his sister that Jin Ruibing couldn’t indulge her when it came to matters of right and wrong.

So he placed his hands on his hips and asked, "Now tell me, did you do something wrong?"

When Jin Xiaoni saw that he was still not letting go, she burst into tears with a "waah".

Jin Ruibing wasn’t swayed by her tears, and asked her firmly, "Tell me loudly, did you do something wrong?"

"I was wrong," Jin Xiaoni cried out, and only then was Jin Ruibing satisfied.

Just at this moment, Ye Qin helped Elder Master Jin return.

Hearing the sound of his daughter’s wailing, Ye Qin frowned.

Seeing her daughter and son confrontationally facing each other, and her daughter’s face swollen, Ye Qin thought that Jin Xiaoni had been hit by Jin Ruibing.

She immediately shouted, "Jin Ruibing, you’ve got some nerve, daring to hit your sister, who taught you to do this?"

The Elder Master Jin also saw the slap mark on his beloved granddaughter’s face.

"Jin Ruibing, come here to me," he demanded.

Seeing her doting grandfather and mother, Jin Xiaoni felt even more aggrieved and crying ran into Ye Qin’s arms, pitifully calling out, "Mom."

"What’s going on?" Ye Qin asked Jin Ruibing, with a clearly displeased expression.

Jin Ruibing, with his hands on his hips, rolled his eyes in frustration, "Ask Jin Xiaoni who hit her, and why she was hit by someone else."

Hearing this, Ye Qin turned to her daughter and asked, "Xiao Ni, what happened?"

Elder Master Jin also looked at his granddaughter.

The reason they both instinctively protected her was because Jin Xiaoni, although somewhat willful, was not malicious at heart and wouldn’t bully others casually.

Jin Xiaoni, seeing Ye Qin, felt even more wronged. Suddenly questioned, her body noticeably stiffened.

Ye Qin knew her daughter all too well, and from the looks of it, the fault seemed to indeed lie with her own daughter.

Jin Xiaoni had just been scolded by Jin Ruibing and knew she was wrong.

She didn’t dare to recount the whole story to Elder Master Jin and Ye Qin.

When Ye Qin asked, she kept her mouth shut without answering. Jin Ruibing, however, laughed, thinking how she was quite defiant just before, and now, she didn’t dare to be so bold anymore.

But Jin Ruibing didn’t plan to keep this matter from Ye Qin and Elder Master Jin; after all, the person Jin Xiaoni feared the most was Ye Qin.

Then Jin Ruibing quickly relayed the whole story to Ye Qin and Elder Master Jin.

Jin Xiaoni hadn’t exaggerated when she told Jin Ruibing, but when Jin Ruibing told Ye Qin, he started to embellish the tale.

He added fuel to the fire regarding Jin Xiaoni’s actions.

In conclusion, he added, "Mom, look at her. I scolded her but she wouldn’t listen—she refused to admit her wrongs. Together with Yu Feifei, she tried to snatch someone else’s clothes. And in the end, she came to me crying about being wronged. Tell me, don’t I have the right to reprimand her?"

After hearing Jin Ruibing’s embellished narrative, Jin Xiaoni stamped her feet in anger.

"Brother, couldn’t you just straightforwardly state what happened instead of exaggerating? How have I offended you?"

Elder Master Jin, fuming with anger, his whiskers bristling and eyes glaring, exclaimed, "Outrageous, utterly outrageous! My Jin Family’s children, resorting to bullying others because of their status, and even causing others to get hurt."

Elder Master Jin was so angry he could hardly stand it. Jin Ruibing quickly went over to help calm him down, now worried that the old man would get so worked up it would make him ill.

"Grandfather, Xiao Ni already knows she’s wrong. Please don’t be too hard on her," he implored.

Jin Xiaoni, having been scolded by Jin Ruibing and now berated by Elder Master Jin, was completely at a loss.

Standing there dumbfounded, she no longer dared to cry.
