Chapter 343: Chapter 342: The Lesson Must Be Taught (2 more updates)

"He just said," Cousin’s Wife chuckled, "that his cousin’s wife is the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, and those stubborn kids didn’t believe him."

"They kept saying that any girl he finds pretty must be ugly. Well, now they can see for themselves," she snorted with disdain, "that his taste has always been impeccable."

Only Xu Niannian knew why Jin Ruibing stared at her so astonished.

She thought about the girl who bullied Xu Sisi, who was very likely Jin Yu’s cousin.

Xu Niannian couldn’t help but frown. What a twisted fate this was.

Jin Yu eventually figured out his wife, and seeing her frown, he connected it to Jin Ruibing’s exaggerated reaction and asked quizzically, "Do you two know each other?"

Jin Ruibing chuckled sheepishly twice, completely unsure how to respond to Jin Yu.

However, it was Xu Niannian who spoke first, "A brief encounter."

That pretty much confirmed her acquaintance with Jin Ruibing.

"What happened? Spill it," Jin Yu didn’t rush to ask where everyone had gone but turned his head to look at Jin Ruibing.

Jin Ruibing suddenly felt the urge to mourn in silence for his sister for a minute.

Adhering to the philosophy of every man for himself, Jin Ruibing spilled the beans, recounting the events of that day in full detail.

Xu Niannian hadn’t said a single word, and her expression wasn’t as pleasant as usual.

Although she wasn’t giving the cold shoulder, there was no smile either.

After all, it was her sister who had been bullied. How could Xu Niannian maintain a good temper?

Moreover, what they did wasn’t just mere bullying. To Xu Niannian, such behavior was utterly shameless.

The dress was hers, but because she was busy negotiating a shop transfer, she asked Xu Sisi to help take the dress for ironing.

She hadn’t expected it would catch someone’s covetous eye.

They wanted to force a sale, insisting on making Xu Sisi sell the dress to them, and in the end, it led to Xu Sisi’s disfigurement. Had it not been for the spring water she had, Xu Sisi might not have recovered.

But from Jin Ruibing’s mouth, his sister was nothing but a naive and ignorant girl.

Xu Niannian knew that people are biased, just like she only heard Xu Sisi’s side of the story. Similarly, Jin Ruibing would undoubtedly defend his sister.

Luckily, Jin Ruibing didn’t completely speak up for the girl; rather, he kept insisting on apologizing on her behalf.

Considering his good attitude and the fact he was Jin Yu’s cousin, Xu Niannian didn’t want to make the situation too difficult.

Moreover, it was not Jin Ruibing but his sister and another woman who had bullied Xu Sisi.

So, after listening to Jin Ruibing’s apology, Xu Niannian’s expression softened, and she said warmly, "This isn’t your fault; you don’t have to apologize. Besides, I’m not the one who was bullied."

The implication was that Jin Xiaoni should personally apologize to Xu Sisi.

As Jin Yu listened, his expression grew darker and darker.

"Jin Xiaoni has really overstepped her bounds, daring to snatch someone else’s possessions with Yu Feifei. Who taught her such rules? Where is she?" Jin Yu demanded with icy eyes scanning over Jin Ruibing.

Feeling the weight of Jin Yu’s anger, Jin Ruibing instantly straightened his posture.

"Out... outside!" he managed to say.

Jin Xiaoni had come back with Jin Ruibing and the others, but she had been called away by her friends to play as they entered the compound.

With narrowed eyes Jin Yu said coldly, "Call her back for me."

"Roger that!" Jin Ruibing replied with utmost eagerness.

Feeling sorry for his sister was absolutely not an option for him.

Compared to facing his cousin’s rage himself, it was better to let Jin Xiaoni handle it.

After all, she was the one who had done wrong.

Their grandfather always said, one should bravely accept one’s mistakes.

He was helping his sister to promptly acknowledge her fault and take the right path. It was definitely not an act of betrayal.

Right, that was it, no doubt about it.

Jin Ruibing gave himself a thorough brainwashing, convincing himself that he wasn’t betraying his own sister.

He was merely assisting her to confront her mistakes.

Today was Xu Niannian’s first visit to Jin Yu’s family, and she didn’t want this issue to sour the occasion.

She tugged on Jin Yu’s sleeve and said, "Let it go; Sisi isn’t even here. It’s useless to call her over now."

However, Jin Ruibing had already sprinted away, as if chased by demons.

Xu Niannian had just finished talking when she noticed Jin Ruibing dashing outside.

Xu Niannian just stood there: "..."

The sight of his hurried retreat suddenly lifted Xu Niannian’s previously foul mood.

The first time she saw Jin Ruibing, Xu Niannian wondered how she would handle the relationship with these people.

After all, Jin Ruibing was Jin Yu’s brother, but he was also an accomplice in bullying her sister.

It turned out that he wasn’t so bad after all, and there might indeed be some misunderstandings.

With this thought, Xu Niannian’s attitude slowly began to change; she felt less antagonistic toward the young girl.

If she was brought up in such a family, she couldn’t be that bad, maybe there really was some misunderstanding.

Jin Yu took Xu Niannian’s hand and said gently, "Don’t worry, that girl doesn’t have a bad heart. But don’t be shy about rebuking her if you must."

Xu Niannian: "..."

Jin Yu added, "After all, she is my sister. If she’s made a mistake, she deserves to be punished. You can discipline her any way you want later; I’ll back you up. She won’t dare to resist."

Xu Niannian again: "..."

What was a serious matter turned into something quite comical because of Jin Yu’s words, leaving Xu Niannian not sure whether to laugh or cry.

What is all this mess?

She wasn’t here to punish anyone, after all. The one who needed a lesson had already received it that day.

For his sake, as long as Jin Xiaoni apologized to Xu Sisi, and if Sisi forgave her, then that would be the end of it.
