章節 2: Protect Your Wife
Not minding the fact that Jiang Ming sped off like a lightening bolt towards the room to get the staff, she finally got up but suddenly staggered, feeling like she was carrying a ton of weight.
The former host had really messed up her body. Once this little drama had been taken care of, she was going to start a healthy diet and exercise daily to get into shape.
Once she comported herself, she met with the disgusted eyes of her father, but she stared right at him so straight in the eyes that he blinked for a second, feeling a killing intent aura emenating from her.
"Look how disrespectful she's become. She's staring you shamelessly in the eyes ...what next Jiang Meiying? Will you beat him?" Jiang Chu sounded like she was going to break down, but just like she intended, her husband flared up again and pointed at her.
"You shameless, conceited... " He coughed before saying. "Your useless husband can't even afford a place to stay, and I've wholeheartedly accepted you two in my house. I won't tolerate such disrespect next time. What if I had come in with some guests. I would have to cover face because you're sleeping on the living room floor!"
"Here's the staff father."
Jiang Ming arrived, a meek expression on her outstandingly beautiful face as she handed her father the staff which was specially made to hit Jiang Meiying from time to time in situations like this.
Her face, however, was twisted in spite and smugness as she stared at Jiang Meiying from behind, who faced her father squarely.
"This will teach you... "
Just as he landed the staff, an inch close to her shoulder, she swiftly caught it with one hand, stunning the other three.
They stared at her like she had grown a third eye on her nose, before Jiang Chu regained her composure and said outloud,
"You see honey. She has become so rebellious... we've spoilt her so much."
Jiang Tao's eyes spammed, and he flew into rage. He made to kick her, his arm still holding the staff in the air but Jiang Meiying released the staff and quickly stepped back watching as the old man missed his step and fell like a sack onto the ground; where the girl was earlier lying on.
"Aiyoo! My back. My back." The man groaned in pain, holding his lower back with his two hands as the staff fell beside him with a clatter.
"Father!"
"Husband!"
The two women knelt before him in panic, trying to help him up.
Jiang Meiying just stared at the pitiful scene with the side of upper lip slightly raised.
She turned and went upstairs without a word, straight to her room.
Jiang Ming ran after her, and when the two were out of their father's sight, the look of calm demeanor on her face was replaced by a devilish scorn as she grabbed Jiang Meiying's fat wrist with her two hands, halting her steps.
Jiang Meiying turned, and Jiang Ming released her with parted lips, stepping backwards when a cold chill ran down her spine.
When had Jiang Meiying had such scary eyes?
"What is it?"
Jiang Ming regained her composure, but stuttered under her sister's glare.
"You better sleep with one eye wide open. In a matter of days, I'll convince father to throw you and your useless, dejected husband out of this house and out on the streets! So you better plead to me to take care of you now."
Jiang Meiying looked up after glancing on the floor for a while.
"Are you done?"
"You... "
"Your father would need a herbal oil massage for his back, or he won't be able to stand by tomorrow. I suggest you use some herbal oils like eucalyptus or sesame... "
"Huh?"
"Heat until warm and massage the aching area. He's had a bad fall and might not be able to move the next morning if not massaged well."
Shaking violently, she pointed at the fat girl standing before her.
"You bitch. If anything happens to father, I'll... I'll kill you."
"Heh." The woman chuckled coldly, sending more cold shivers running down her sister's spine.
"Go and get the oil yourself, and help father or I'll... "
"I'm on my way now, I have EXPs to earn." She nonchalantly scoffed and left her sister to stand there and gawk at her back.
E
XP?
What was that?
She got so angry that her nails dug into her palms.
Jiang Chu joined her soon.
"Your father is in so much pain. Hand that wretch some money to buy some painkillers in the pharmacy. It's all her fault, he's in this condition. I wonder when she got so bold."
Jiang Ming grumpily took the money.
"I expected her to die when I pushed her downstairs. I was certain I pushed her hard enough."
"We just have to convince your father to throw her out of the mansion, and that won't be a problem. The college entrance exam is coming up, and I'm certain she would fail badly. Once he sees there's no chance she'd go to college, he'd disown her without a thought."
A foolish smile spread across her face at the thought, and she felt bliss as her mother left to attend to her father.
The task of going out to get the medicines were put on hold. She didn't want to encounter her sister because she was in a bad mood and looked so scary just a while ago, and she wanted to use the oil technique she had told her about. She couldn't bear to see her father hostage to a wheel chair!
Who would work for the family's upkeep?
"Hey you!" She yelled at a maid walking by and it took all the willpower of the servant not to grumble as she slightly bowed to the PRINCESS of the house.
"Yes...Young Miss."
"Do we have any herbal oil at home?"
"We have some left Young Miss."
"Bring it at once to my Papa's room, and send for the family's doctor immediately." She scornfully ordered, and without waiting for the maid to bow to her consent, she stormed off.
As Jiang Meiying placed her hand on the door knob, she grimaced at the sight of her voluptuous wrists. Loosing weight wouldn't be so hard for her since she also worked at the gym as an instructor in her former life, but why did the former host make this more difficult for her?
Sighing, she pushed the door open and got in. When she closed the door behind her, she came face to face with her 'husband'. Zhang Hien.
He was in a beaten-up looking wheelchair, a towel placed on his knees down to his feet. His thin arms were on a small desk as he quietly read a book.
Zhang Hien looked up as soon as the door closed with a slight thud behind her. He had been worried because he heard the ruckus downstairs and thought they were bullying her again, but he could only stare at her without saying anything for fear of being lashed out at.
Jiang Meiying blinked and he blinked twice, the silence in the room rising past uncomfortability.
"A... Are you okay?" He stammered, when it looked like she wasn't going to talk. She seemed to be much more interested in staring at his legs.
Jiang Meiying looked back up at him, a glint flashing in her eyes. He was so stunned that he quickly said,
"I'm sorry, I just thought they had been bullying you again. Forgive me for asking!"
A huge drop of sweat suddenly slid down her forehead as he almost clasped his hands together, in forgiveness.
Zhang Hien was a good man. His only flaw was that he spent too much money gambling, and had lost all he had. Aside that, he was kind, humble, compassionate, and very quiet.
"And what if they were bullying me," She suddenly asked in a calm voice which was unlike her whenever she was around him. "What were you going to do about it?"
Feeling so helpless and ashamed at her truthfully put question, he bowed his head, only to snap it back up at her next words ...
"It's not like you could have done anything just sitting there. If you badly want to do something, I reckon you get on your feet like a man and protect your wife!"
Wife?
Did she just tag herself as his wife ?
Out of excitement and shock, he suddenly coughed out loud, choking on his own saliva.
