Chapter 25: Why Did You Help Me?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Shui Anluo was startled awake when she felt someone glaring at her. That glare was as venomous as a snake spitting poison at her.
Shui Anluo opened her eyes and immediately saw Shui Anjiao’s venomous gaze. Shui Anluo had not expected her to have the courage to appear in front of her again after she had slapped her twice.
Shui Anjiao stared viciously at Shui Anlue. She really did look like a venomous snake. If she had sharp fangs, she would have bitten Shui Anluo by now.
“Shui Anluo, I want you to leave Brother Ningyi.” Shui Anjiao ordered aggressively.
Shui Anluo chuckled as she gently patted her startled son and gingerly leaned her body against the headboard. She stared at Shui Anjiao indifferently as if she was looking at a jumping clown. “What? Have you changed your target to Chu Ningyi since An Fengyang no longer wants you?”
“What did you say?”
“I said that An Fengyang would rather be with a man than to be with you.” Shui Anluo could see that Shui Anjiao was indeed an idiot so she kindly translated it into simpler language for her.
“Shui Anluo, you...” Shui Anjiao was once again red in the face from anger.
“Besides, An Fengyang might be a man but no matter how I look at it, he’s much better looking than you. If I were Chu Ningyi, the one who’d catch my eye would be An Fengyang, not you.”
Shui Anluo’s tone was as light as a feather, possibly because she had not fully recovered. Her pale face contrasted with her airy voice and imparted a sense of subdued elegance to her appearance.
Shui Anjiao pursed her lips but she remembered that she could not let Shui Anluo get to her.
“Shui Anluo, did you think that carrying the vile spawn of another can help you to capture Brother Ningyi’s heart?”
“Who’re you calling a ‘vile spawn’?” Shui Anluo’s expression turned very cold as she lifted her head to stare angrily at Shui Anjiao.
“Don’t you know who I’m talking about? You’re a sl*t, just like your mother. You’ll give birth to someone else’s b*stard then seduce another woman’s man.” Shui Anjiao’s mouth was filled with venom as she spewed each ugly word at Shui Anluo.
Shui Anluo’s hand tightened its grip beneath the covers as she pursed her lips.
“Wah!!!” The little darling was frightened and burst into tears, bawling his eyes out.
“Oh, the little b*stard’s crying.”
As soon as Shui Anjiao said that, Shui Anluo tore the covers off and jumped from the bed. She disregarded everything else as she slapped and kicked Shui Anjiao. She had put her full force into the kick and the rebound almost caused her to topple back onto the bed.
Shui Anjiao shrieked but before she could get up, Shui Anluo was already back on top of her and was slapping her mercilessly.
Shui Anluo could tolerate anyone who jeered at her but she would disregard her own dignity to beat up anyone who insulted her mother or her son.
The screaming, along with the little darling’s cries, echoed throughout the ward and drew many people’s attention.
Uncle Chu hurried back and saw Shui Anluo madly beating up a helpless Shui Anjiao who was on the ground, unable to retaliate at all. Shui Anjiao was the eldest lady of a rich family. She had been pampered and spoiled from a young age. Even though Shui Anluo had also grown up with the same treatment, she had endured the daily challenges in the outside world over the past year. She was no longer the pampered young lady from before.
“Young Madam...”
“She had the audacity to come here and fight me,” said Shui Anluo as she slapped Shui Anjiao’s face repeatedly.
Uncle Chu was shaken but he did not step forward. He only needed to make sure that the young madam was not bullied.
Lin Qianchen pushed through the crowd and ran over to find this scene before her. Shui Anjiao cried out for help when she saw her cousin and her face was so painful that she felt she close to death.
“Luoluo.” In some sense, Lin Qianchen was also Shui Anluo’s cousin so it was not strange for her to address her by her nickname.
“Go away.” Shui Anluo’s eyes were bloodshot. She did not even look at Lin Qianchen as she pushed her away with one hand.
“Shui Anjiao, I’ll soon show you the fate a b*stard deserves,” said Shui Anluo as she landed another slap.
“What’s going on?”
Chu Ningyi’s cold voice rang out from behind the crowd. He saw the incident as soon as he had walked in. Shui Anluo was sitting on top of Shui Anjiao as she slapped her continuously like a fan. Her fine hair was all messed up like a madwoman’s. Or, rather, she really was a madwoman now.
“Ningyi, you’d better stop Luoluo, she’s going to beat Jiaojiao to death!” Lin Qianchen hurriedly pulled Chu Ningyi’s arm as she urged anxiously.
Chu Ningyi stood there and watched the two women on the ground with narrowed eyes. However, he did not approach them.
“What happened?” His son’s mother had the upper hand anyway so he was in no hurry to intervene.
Uncle Chu did not know exactly what had happened but based on his understanding of Shui Anjiao’s character, he made a guess. “Miss Shui snuck into the ward when I was away and insulted the Little Master and Young Madam’s mother. Therefore...”
“Ningyi...” Lin Qianchen exclaimed nervously as she glared at Uncle Chu irritably.
“It’s time for her to reap the rewards of a dirty mouth. This matter will be done with when an apology has been made.” Shui Anjiao deserved to be beaten for insulting his son.
“Ningyi, what’re you saying?” Lin Qianchen stared at Chu Ningyi in disbelief. Was he indulging Shui Anluo in beating up another person?
Chu Ningyi’s expression was just as frosty as ever. He crossed his arms and lowered his head to stare at the woman who was being beaten to a pulp. “Shui Anjiao, look carefully, I’m the one who allowed you to be beaten up today.”
By saying these words, Chu Ningyi undoubtedly absolved Shui Anluo of all crimes. The Shui family may dare to cause trouble for Shui Anluo but they would never cause trouble for Chu Ningyi.
Shui Anluo in this berserk mode would terrify even herself. It was clear to everyone that she would do the beating and anyone who dared to disagree would have to face her older brother first.
The way she was beating Shui Anjiao up caused her to resemble an inmate who had just escaped from a mental asylum.
Shui Anjiao was bawling her eyes out yet no one dared to help her. Unless they were tired of living, who would have the courage to go head-to-head against the eldest young master of the Chu family?
At this moment, the little darling who had been crying his eyes out while lying on his stomach on the bed suddenly squealed and chuckled. His large eyes were still a little teary so they shone clear like crystals.
‘Rumble...’
Shui Anluo was enthusiastically beating the crap out of Shui Anjiao when her stomach suddenly started to hurt. There was no time to continue with the beating as she quickly got off and held her stomach as she ran to the washroom.
Gastroenteritis... Gastroenteritis should not be aggravated. Shui Anluo sat on the toilet and held her stomach with one hand while she propped the other on a ceramic counter. At this moment, she seemed to have finally been discharged from the mental asylum and regained her reason. Shui Anluo blinked as she wondered, ‘ What just happened?’
‘There seems to be a lot of people out there?’
‘Is Chu Ningyi back?’
Shui Anluo scratched her madwoman-like hair and furrowed her brows. To her, it seemed that Chu Ningyi was the person who had helped to hold Lin Qianchen back.
Shui Anluo’s large eyes darted around before she abandoned her thoughts due to the extreme pain in her stomach.
The entire room was silent when Shui Anluo finally emerged with her hand against her stomach. At this moment, the little darling was gurgling in Chu Ningyi’s arms. He babbled incomprehensibly but she could tell that he was very happy.
Chu Ningyi raised his head to look at Shui Anluo’s sweaty and pale face.
He then placed the little darling on the bed before he walked over to scoop her into his arms. Shui Anluo gasped softly and quickly reached out to wrap her arms around his neck, afraid that he would suddenly drop her.
“Why did you help me?” asked Shui Anluo softly. If it had not been for him, it was likely that she would have been dragged away long ago. She had still managed to retain a small bit of self-awareness during the fight.
