“Of course,” Jin Miaomiao said, tears welling up as she saw everyone’s kind attitude towards Su Ding. “You know everything, yet you always protect her.”
Jin Xiao’s face also darkened at the sight. “Miaomiao, go back to your room!”
Seeing her father also shout at her, Jin Miaomiao completely lost control. “Why doesn’t anyone believe me? The reason I’m like this now is because Su Ding incited that idiot to push me!”
She pointed at Su Ding and Tang Ran, crying.
“You all favor her, an outsider, and don’t care about me anymore,” Jin Miaomiao said indignently, rising. Her tailbone hurt even more, and tears streamed down her face.
She stumbled and fell onto the sofa, then got up in a flustered state.
“I’ll leave, I’ll leave!”
Jin Miaomiao sobbed loudly, wiping her tears as she walked upstairs.
Jin Xiao’s eyes showed a hint of reluctance, but seeing that the old man had not spoken, he could only restrain himself from going after her.
“Xiao Ye, what did I tell you this morning?”
Grandpa Jin, seeing his granddaughter so wronged, felt his mood turn sour. He asked Jin Ye with a grim expression.
Jin Ye’s face was somber. “I talked to her this morning…”
“Cousin just scares me!” Jin Miaomiao, who was on the stairs, cried out in rebuttal upon hearing about the morning’s events.
No wonder Jin Ye had proactively sought her out to talk about Su Ding; it was Grandpa’s orders.
But even so, her cousin was still very harsh with her.
She ignored the commotion downstairs and returned to her room, slamming the door shut!
Downstairs, the atmosphere became heavy.
Grandpa Jin’s gaze towards Su Ding lost its earlier kindness, replaced by a serious scrutiny.
“I have something to attend to, so I won’t bother you any longer.”
Su Ding had nothing to explain. This was the Jin family, Jin Miaomiao’s home.
She finished speaking quickly and got up to leave.
Jin Ye paused for a few seconds, said nothing, and also left directly.
Jin Xiaoxi and Tang Tang looked at the situation, feeling a little lost, and hesitated whether to follow them out.
“Xiaoxi, what exactly is going on between her and your aunt?”
Jin Xiao sighed and took the initiative to ask.
He knew it was his daughter’s spoiled willfulness that had ruined a perfectly good situation.
But Miaomiao had just said that Su Ding had ordered that girl to push her, and he needed to clarify this.
“Grandpa Xiao, Auntie was the one who first splashed Mom with water, and then Tang Tang pushed Auntie away. I’m telling the truth.”
Jin Xiaoxi said, looking at Tang Tang. “Tang Tang, is that right?”
Tang Tang nodded obediently.
“Father, it is I who have spoiled Miaomiao to be so willful. I will go and talk to her now.” Jin Xiao sighed inwardly and said tactfully.
Grandpa Jin shook his head helplessly. “Alas, these children.”
He felt a headache from the squabbles and disputes among the younger generation. He waved his hand. “Go and comfort her.”
Over there, Jin Ye caught up with Su Ding. “I’ll take you.”
“No need.” Su Ding walked very fast, feeling a bit annoyed.
Jin Ye had no choice but to follow in silence, then went to the garage to get his car and drove alongside Su Ding.
Su Ding walked, and the car followed.
Jin Ye rolled down the window and said sternly, “Stop being so temperamental, get in the car.”
“I said no need.” Su Ding felt that her coming over today was a big mistake.
Jin Ye continued to follow, saying no more.
Su Ding had originally intended to hail a taxi once she got out, but with Jin Ye’s conspicuous car following her, she felt somewhat helpless.
“If you follow me out now, your grandfather and uncle will think I’m instigating conflict between you and your sister.”
Su Ding said to Jin Ye through the car window, unable to contain herself.
She felt a surge of anger and, though she had been holding back from taking it out on Jin Ye, she could no longer control herself.
Jin Ye frowned, offering no further explanation.
“I’ve already sent Xiaoxi back to your place. Now, we have no relationship. Don’t follow me.”
Su Ding finished speaking, turned her head, and continued to walk forward.
Jin Ye continued to drive his car slowly behind her, looking at the slender, determined figure ahead and sighing.
“Get in the car.”
He saw that she was sweating from the heat and called out to Su Ding again.
Seeing that Su Ding still ignored him, he stopped the car, opened the door, and quickly walked over, forcing her into the car.
“What are you doing!” Su Ding struggled angrily.
“Taking you home. Still throwing a tantrum?”
Jin Ye’s voice was a little deep, and coupled with his usual serious expression, Su Ding interpreted it as him being angry.
She glared at the man angrily. “So, I’m throwing a tantrum just because I don’t want to ride in your car?”
Jin Ye didn’t look at her, starting the car and driving.
“It was my mistake. I shouldn’t have brought you home before resolving Miaomiao’s issue.”
After a while, he said in a low voice, and his words made Su Ding, who was in a state of annoyance, feel somewhat surprised, and her anger subsided considerably.
Su Ding’s expression remained cold, her lips pressed tightly together without a word.
Jin Ye glanced at the woman still angry, noticing that she subconsciously pouted her lips when she was angry, which he found quite endearing.
“Don’t be angry anymore. I’ll treat you to a meal.”
Su Ding was still displeased, looking straight ahead. “I’m going home,” she said coldly.
Jin Ye sighed. “Alright, I’ll take you home.”
Su Ding was rarely coaxed by him, and now she felt a strange sweetness and awkwardness in her heart.
They used to get along harmoniously and rarely argued.
Had they both changed since coming to the Southern Territory? At least Jin Ye had become much more adept!
…
Jin Residence.
Jin Miaomiao was crying while hugging a doll when she heard a knock on the door. “Miaomiao, open the door.”
It was her father.
She got up, sobbing, to open the door, tears still on her face. She said indignantly, “Dad, are you here to scold me?”
Jin Xiao entered the bedroom and saw the mess in the room, sighing.
“What exactly did Su Ding do to provoke you?”
“I just can’t stand her,” Jin Miaomiao said, annoyed at the mention of Su Ding. “Dad, you can search online for her scandals. She even betrayed my cousin. I really don’t know what means she used to make my cousin like her so much!”
Jin Xiao patted his daughter’s shoulder. “You have a prejudice, don’t you? I think that girl is quite good.”
If it weren’t for Su Ding, his father would have been harmed by the Ouyang family that time.
Someone who dared to step forward and save people in such a dangerous situation must have a kind and brave heart.
“Dad!” Jin Miaomiao said unhappily. “Didn’t you say Yiyi was very good before? What, are you defecting?”
“You little girl,” Jin Xiao said, amused. “Aren’t Yiyi and Yin Bo together?”
Jin Miaomiao wiped her tears, saying dejectedly, “They broke up long ago. Yiyi still likes my cousin, and I want her to be my sister-in-law. We’ve known each other since we were kids, and everyone knows each other’s background. How is she inferior to Su Ding?”
“Alright, look at you crying like that. Can you force feelings? Do you like being a matchmaker so much?”
Jin Xiao found his daughter’s appearance both amusing and pitiable.
Jin Miaomiao snorted. “I’m thinking about my friend’s happiness. If she becomes my sister-in-law, our relationship will be even closer.”
Jin Xiao shook his head. “You, it’s better to find a partner for yourself with all this effort. Why do you worry so much about others every day?”
“I haven’t found anyone I like yet. I want to find someone like my cousin in the future too.”
Jin Miaomiao said confidently, tilting her head up.
Jin Xiao, seeing that she was no longer upset, felt relieved. “Listen to your father. Don’t worry about Yiyi and your cousin anymore, okay?”
After saying that, he turned and left.
Jin Miaomiao also recovered and lay down on the bed, picking up her phone and calling Tang Yiyi.
After complaining to Tang Yiyi about the day’s events, she grumbled, “I said my cousin sent me to the hospital this morning. Turns out Grandpa had a talk with him. Hmph, even so, my cousin still protects that woman!”
Tang Yiyi comforted her softly, but her expression shifted between happiness and anger.
“Don’t cry, Miaomiao. See, Grandpa still cares about you, and your dad came to comfort you too~”
Jin Miaomiao said angrily, “Fortunately, Grandpa and Dad haven’t been completely brainwashed by her. But I always feel it’s coming soon. I think Grandpa seems to have a good impression of her…”
Tang Yiyi’s heart sank at the words. “Oh?”
If Grandpa Jin approved of Su Ding, then she would have no chance at all!
No, she had to stop this.
“Yes, Grandpa even said to let her stay.” Jin Miaomiao said resentfully.
“Ah!” Tang Yiyi could no longer sit still. She frowned anxiously, her thoughts in a complete mess. What should she do?
If only there was a way to make Grandpa Jin dislike that woman.
What to do?
Jin Miaomiao was still grumbling on the other end. “I’m just afraid that if she really moves in, she’ll be above me. I was the only girl at home before, and Grandpa was quite nice to me. But if Su Ding comes, Xiaoxi and Cousin will…”
Suddenly, a dangerous decision flashed through Tang Yiyi’s mind!
Miaomiao…
What if something happened to Jin Miaomiao?
