Chapter 513: Be conscientious
Chapter 513: Be conscientious
Zhao Yue's eyes were filled with hope, as if they contained thousands of words.
Liu Lin's eyes flickered, but he remained calm. Even someone as thick-skinned as Li Hui understood her intentions and raised an eyebrow in interest.
Xiao Yun looked at her with indifferent eyes: "Go back and greet the guests first."
Zhao Yue's eyes dimmed instantly, and her eyes were filled with disappointment.
She clenched her hands subtly, forced a smile, and said obediently, "Okay."
After she left, Li Hui sighed, "Why do I feel that Zhao Yue's temper is much better than before? She's quite tolerant."
When they first met two days ago, Zhao Yue was much more arrogant than she is now. Although a large part of this was due to the excitement of Zhao Zhi's death, it was enough to reveal her true nature.
In the past two days, Zhao Yue has become softer, thinner and more submissive, which can really arouse people's desire to protect her.
Liu Lin continued, "She has no relatives or friends now. Without the person who can tolerate and protect her the most, she will naturally behave herself. But..."
He paused, his eyes full of meaning as he said, "Pretending to be weak has always been her forte, and now her acting skills have improved even more."
Li Hui didn't know what Zhao Yue was like before, and was confused when he heard this.
Liu Lin smiled and said, "Just wait and see."
Half an hour later, the same scene was played out again.
Xiao Yun and the other two saw Zhao Yue arguing with the group of distant relatives again.
The difference is that this time there are more audience members including Old Madam Xiao and Aunt Liu.
Before at the door, it was just a verbal dispute, but this time it was much more serious. The tall and strong man directly pushed Zhao Yue and pushed her to the ground with great force.
Zhao Yue was weak and after bearing the heavy push, she lay on the ground for a long time and couldn't get up.
Old Madam Xiao exclaimed and quickly asked Aunt Liu to help her.
Zhao Yue's plain white skirt was covered in mud, and her arms and cheeks were rubbed with bloody marks, which looked shocking against her pale skin.
She covered her arms, tears streaming down her face, her body trembling, her eyes filled with fear.
This miserable and pitiful appearance, compared with the aggressive person opposite, would make anyone who saw it tilt the scales towards Zhao Yue.
Although the old lady was disappointed with Zhao Yue before, she was a child who grew up under her nose after all, and she had some affection for her. How could she watch her being bullied?
Especially since Zhao Yue’s father had just passed away two days ago and his body was still warm.
She immediately flew into a rage, pointing at the violent man and shouting, "What do you want to do? Are you here to pay your respects, or to cause trouble? You dare to bully the deceased's daughter in her own home? Aren't you afraid of divine retribution?"
The man himself was stunned. He looked at the old man beside him in panic and said in a lost voice: "Grandpa, I didn't use any force at all. I didn't think..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhao Yue screamed in pain, instantly attracting the attention of many people.
"Yueyue, what's wrong?" Old Madam Xiao asked with concern.
Zhao Yue's face was pale and she looked miserable. "Grandma, my arm hurts so much. The bleeding won't stop. It hurts so much."
Li Hui quietly leaned closer to take a look, then silently retreated behind Xiao Yun.
When Old Madam Xiao saw the blood on her arm, she was furious and said to Xiao Yun, "Ah Yun, kick these people out! They are lawless. They dare to bully people in broad daylight. If they were out of our sight, who knows how they would hurt Yueyue."
Xiao Yun called the bodyguards and signaled them to kick these people out.
The young man became anxious and shouted, "It's not our fault, it's her..."
As soon as he shouted, he was stopped by the old man next to him.
The old man looked at Zhao Yue deeply and said, "Zhao girl, you should have a conscience. Good deeds will be rewarded and evil deeds will be punished. You will not have a good ending."
Zhao Yue hid timidly behind the old lady and said in a trembling voice, "No matter what you say, I won't go with you. The property and house I have are all left to me by my father. I will not give them to you. Just give up on this idea."
"You!" The young man became furious and rushed forward two steps.
This appearance frightened Zhao Yue so much that she screamed, and the old lady's eardrums hurt.
Seeing this, Xiao Yun waved his hand and asked the bodyguard to take the person out.
Zhao Yue was obviously very frightened. It was not until the group of people left for a long time that she was coaxed into calming down.
Aunt Liu, who knew a little about medicine, gave Zhao Yue a quick checkup and said, "Yueyue has been extremely nervous these past two days, overly worried, and frightened, and her emotions are a little out of control."
Madam Xiao sighed, her eyes filled with pity: "Yueyue, the dead cannot be resurrected, so think positively. Your father in heaven wouldn't want you to ruin your body for him. He would rather see you healthy and happy."
"Grandma, I'm sorry. I scared you. I didn't mean to."
Zhao Yue's eyes were filled with apology as she sobbed, "These past two days, every time I opened my eyes, I saw my father's shadow everywhere in the house. I couldn't fall asleep. My dreams were filled with my father's figure. He was blaming me for not noticing his illness sooner... I can't forgive myself!"
As Zhao Yue spoke, she covered her face with her hands and cried inconsolably.
Li Hui was watching with great interest when someone touched his arm.
She turned her head and saw Liu Lin winking at her.
Li Hui's ears turned red instantly.
