Tang Ran stood up and looked at Jin Xiao coldly, "I released the snake, it has nothing to do with Aunt Su Ding."
Jin Xiao and Jin Miaomiao both looked shocked.
Was this still the same傻子 (shǎ zi - fool) from before?
"You brat, you finally admit it! I knew it was you!" Sun Fang, taking advantage of Su Ding's inattention, pried Su Ding's hand away and backed up a few steps, saying fiercely.
Su Ding was completely stunned, looking blankly at the cool girl in front of her.
She reached out and touched Tang Ran's shoulder, only to see Tang Ran slowly turn her head, her clear, sharp eyes fixed on her, "Thank you, Aunt Su Ding."
Su Ding opened her mouth, but found herself speechless.
"Tang Tang! Tang Tang!"
At this moment, Jin Xiaoxi bit the arm of a servant. The servant, in pain, let go, and he rushed forward.
When Tang Ran was held in Jin Xiaoxi's arms, her cold heart felt a moment of warmth.
"Does it hurt..." Jin Xiaoxi's small face was full of worry as he nervously held her cold, small hand.
Tang Ran shook her head, "My pain receptors are quite slow, don't worry."
Her firm gaze made Jin Xiaoxi's heart slowly settle, but facing such an unfamiliar Tang Ran, he was also a little confused, so he asked directly.
"Tang Tang, did you really go out last night?" Jin Xiaoxi asked, confused.
"That's right." Tang Ran looked at Sun Fang and the Jin Xiao father and daughter, and said directly, "I released the snake, but Tang Yiyi deserved it. Last night she sent people to put snakes in our room, and I just put the snakes back."
Su Ding looked at Tang Ran's serious expression and was even more surprised. So a venomous snake had been in their room after they fell asleep last night?
She dared not even imagine what happened later.
"Tang Tang, you saved us," Su Ding said softly.
"Auntie, you and Xiaoxi are the kindest people to me in this world. No matter who opposes you, I will not let her go," Tang Ran's cold gaze swept over Sun Fang.
Sun Fang never expected that after a few days, Tang Ran was no longer傻 (shǎ - foolish) and could even be so terrifying!
Was she still a seven-year-old child?
How could she have such a chilling demeanor that belonged to an adult?
Sun Fang, relying on the fact that she had helpers, shouted, "Stop slandering your sister, you shameless little bastard! See if I don't beat you to death today!"
"How dare you!"
Su Ding could no longer bear it and said angrily, "Ah Da, Ah Xiao!"
Ah Da and Ah Xiao, who were standing closest to Sun Fang, heard the command and rushed forward, punching her.
A sharp scream was heard, and Sun Fang covered her bloody nose, wailing.
"Auntie, Auntie..." Jin Miaomiao cried out in fright, quickly handing tissues to Sun Fang.
Sun Fang's nose continued to bleed, and tears streamed down uncontrollably. She gasped for breath, "Today I must take this little bastard back... Ouch... It hurts so much."
"You wish!" Su Ding said coldly, "Mr. Jin Xiao, Tang Yiyi put snakes in our room, and Tang Tang only sent the snakes back. If you don't clarify the origin of the snakes, you won't be able to take Tang Tang away."
Jin Xiao, being singled out in public, lost face. Jin Miaomiao jumped up directly, "This is a Tang family matter, it's none of your business!"
"Jin Miaomiao, shut up. As long as I'm here, no one will take Tang Tang away!"
Su Ding said firmly, "You can try to force us. If this gets out of hand, let's see if Jin Ye and the Old Master can agree!"
"I don't agree either!"
Jin Xiaoxi shouted angrily, his small face tense and very furious.
Jin Xiao was naturally wary of the Old Master, and coupled with the fact that the origin of the snakes had not been clarified, it was unreasonable to forcibly deal with Su Ding.
"Madam Tang, look..."
Seeing Jin Xiao's intention to not interfere, Sun Fang felt a touch of disdain for him.
She covered her nose and said, "What are you still standing there for? Go grab that girl!"
The six bodyguards were about to make a move, but Ah Da and Ah Xiao quickly blocked the way in front of Su Ding, her son, and Tang Tang...
The situation became tense again.
"Stop!"
At this moment, the voice of the Jin family's Old Master was heard.
The Old Master Jin, leaning on his cane, walked in slowly. Seeing the mess in the room and the confrontation, he frowned, "Tang family, give this old man some face. Come back for the person after the matter is investigated."
Sun Fang snorted upon hearing this, "This is our Tang family's business!"
Tang Ran had been watched by her since she was a child. She could hit or scold her as she pleased, and no one had ever challenged her for such a bastard.
Today, Su Ding insisted on protecting this bastard, so she would just go against her wishes!
Seeing that Sun Fang was ungrateful, the Old Master Jin's expression also turned serious, "So be it. Then I'll ask Tang Shude if I can decide when his two granddaughters are playing with snakes in my Jin family."
Tang Shude was the head of the Tang family and had been in the same era as the Old Master Jin.
Sun Fang, hearing him mention the authoritative grandfather, became scared and quickly said, "You don't need to trouble yourself. I'm leaving now. Tang Ran is the one who causes the most trouble, and I'm not happy to take her back."
Fearing that the Old Master Jin would call Tang Shude on the spot, she quickly beckoned the six bodyguards and left.
Seeing Sun Fang leave dejectedly, Su Ding felt a little speechless. It was not easy for Tang Tang to not be raised improperly under the care of such a woman.
Jin Miaomiao was so angry her face turned red. Why did her grandfather come out! Ruining her good deed!
And Sun Fang!
This woman was truly useless. She couldn't even catch a little girl after such a long time. No wonder Yiyi used to complain that her mother had no brains and didn't even know when her father went out to raise other women.
"Miaomiao, Jin Xiao, come back with me." The Old Master Jin again singled out these two.
Jin Xiao and Jin Miaomiao had nothing to say and followed the Old Master Jin away.
From beginning to end, the Jin family's Old Master did not say a single word to Su Ding.
After everyone left, the ambulance personnel finally arrived. They checked Su Ding and the others. Tang Ran's head injury was quite serious. After applying medicine, she needed to rest well.
Meanwhile, servants were cleaning the room, while Su Ding and Xiaoxi stayed by the bedside, watching Tang Ran.
"Tang Tang," Su Ding called softly.
Tang Ran's head was bandaged, her small face was pale, and she looked a little uneasy and restrained, "Auntie..."
Su Ding smiled gently, "Don't be afraid, Auntie thanks you for saving us."
Tang Ran shook her head, her big eyes glistening with tears, "Will you... dislike me? I, I'm different from before."
Her voice grew softer and softer, and her small face drooped.
Large tears fell with a patter.
She was unsure if Auntie and Xiaoxi would like her now, the way they liked her before, especially since she felt like a freak now.
"No," Su Ding smiled, "Auntie will always like you."
Tang Tang sobbed twice and nodded, "Auntie, I have a secret. I've never told anyone."
Su Ding realized she was about to say something important and gestured for her to wait a moment, about to signal the servants to leave.
The servants responded, and one of them said, "Miss Su, your earrings have been placed on the table for you."
Su Ding didn't pay much attention and waved them away.
After the room fell silent, Tang Tang began to tell her story...
