Chapter 23 - Her Protector?
But before Nan Hua could answer, someone else had already done so.
"Push her to the river? Are you blind? It's clear that Hua'er is blindfolded and didn't even know that there's a river nearby. In such situation, do you really think that she can see that there's a small river nearby?" Nan Luo asked in rage.
He was angry! The thought that his little sister might have fallen to the river when he was busy sparring only made him even more annoyed. He should be the one protecting his sister, ah!
That damnable Long Qian Xing took this chance because he was not paying attention.
Hmph!
But the most important thing: Nan Hua is save.
"But she's the one pushing me!" Su Ai Yuan yelled. Her eyes reddened while her body trembled because of the cold. Right now, just one look of her could easily invoke pity on others.
"She push you? Tell me first why you even stand near the river?" Long Qian Xing looked at Su Ai Yuan and sneered.
'She brought me….'
The words stuck in Su Ai Yuan's tone when she noticed Nan Hua removing the blindfold. All this time, Nan Hua was still wearing the blindfold, which meant that it would be impossible for Nan Hua to even know that they were near the small river.
Nan Hua lowered her gaze and her pitch black pupil started straight at Su Ai Yuan, sending chills to the other party.
"Do you want to say that my sister brings you there?" Nan Luo snorted and sneered. "Don't think that we're all so stupid to the point that we can't even see things clearly. There are other children here who have seen Su Ai Yuan standing near the river and even calling out for my sister. Or do you really think that my sister can see through the blindfold?"
Nan Hua: "…" Actually, I can sense my surroundings.
But of course, she would not say that.
"I… I… that's…" Su Ai Yuan turned to look at the other children.
By now, the children had all returned to their respective parents' side. When they saw Su Ai Yuan's gaze, they moved their gaze away. In that game, it was clear that Nan Hua was blindfolded and that Su Ai Yuan had walked near the edge of the small river by herself.
They all had seen it.
Not to mention, Su Ai Yuan was calling Nan Hua's name loudly and some of the ladies there had heard it by themselves.
Nan Si Qiao was also standing at the side since she was attracted by the commotion. At first, she had been worried for Nan Hua but seeing that the girl was fine, she heaved a sigh of relief.
It was just… how long that brat Long Qian Xing plan to hug her little niece?
A lady near Nan Si Qiao sighed. "Su Ai Lin, you should bring Su Ai Yuan inside. She's wet and might get sick if she stays outside for too long."
Su Ai Lin knew that if they continued this argument, not only would she and her sister lose, they would also make a laughingstock of themselves. Gritting her teeth, Su Ai Lin stepped forward and pulled Su Ai Yuan.
"But sister…"
"Stop talking, you'll only embarrass yourself further." Su Ai Lin didn't want to make more scene.
Right now, Su Ai Yuan felt the most wronged. She was only following her sister's order but in the end, she was the one who had to suffer. That was unfair!
Long Qian Xing looked at the girl coldly but he knew that it was Nan Family matters. "I will take Hua'er inside first. Her clothes are wet due to standing near the scene."
"Yes, Young Master Long."
Nan Luo furrowed his brows. "Young Master Long, let me follow."
"Hm." Long Qian Xing gave him a sidelong glance and nodded. The young boy thus followed him to the inner residence.
Nan Si Qiao watched them and sighed. At least, she knew that Nan Luo would protect Nan Hua. Now, it was time for her to seek justice. She saw Madam Su and sneered. "Madam Su, you should expect to give answer to Nan Family later."
Madam Su felt her heart jumped. "Madam Feng, it's just children game."
Madam Feng refer to Nan Si Qiao since her husband's surname was Feng. Nan Si Qiao snorted. "Just children's game? Then you better educate your children better so that they would not play in dangerous location."
"Yes, yes, yes, you're right Madam Feng." Right now, Madam Su really wanted to smack her two children for trying such cheap tricks. Did they think that the others were blind and will let them off just because they were children?
She really didn't want to offend the Nan Family.
Why did her children behave so poorly, ah?
