Chapter 346: Chapter 342: Zhang Quansheng: Nothing Else, Just Killing with Praise

The other side.

Xia Yulu’s heart was beating like a drum.

If it were before, regardless of what she and Li Jing’an were thinking in their hearts, the clever calculations and the little thoughts they were hiding.

At least, there was peace on the surface.

At this moment, Li Jing’an should be bending down, helping her up, soothing her with care, and venting her resentment.

But now, they stood together like a perfectly matched couple.

With those emotionless eyes, looking down on her, colder than ever. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Xia Yulu couldn’t bear such a gaze; she had just lifted her head and secretly glanced over, only to find unfamiliar iciness on their faces.

It’s bad.

Xia Yulu was burning with anxiety, feeling that something must be wrong, yet unaware of what it was.

But now, with things reaching this stage, no matter what, she had to brace herself and forcefully act it out.

She raised her hand, crying pitifully, "Jing’an, Quansheng, quickly look!

Look at the injuries on me, I’ve grown this big and never suffered such grievances."

"Really?"

Li Jing’an sighed with a compassionate smile, finally bending down, reaching out, and pulling her up.

Just when Xia Yulu felt the issue was minor, everything under control, Li Jing’an, in her usual gentle voice, softly said, "Well, sister-in-law, you might have to get used to this."

Xia Yulu stiffly raised her head, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Why? Do you think today’s incident was started by me?"

"Why?" Li Jing’an chuckled, "Because, in the future, you might experience more of such grievances."

After finishing, Li Jing’an fixed her gaze on Xia Yulu’s eyes, "And today’s incident, is it really not started by you?

Ranran’s life is carefree and open; he doesn’t have so many calculations and can’t be bothered to deal with fools like you.

They don’t even know you exist, if it wasn’t for you stirring trouble, then who else?"

Xia Yulu was rendered speechless, and Li Jing’an continued: "It’s not like they dragged you like a big group to Silly Deer Team.

Dragged to the Xiao Family’s doorstep, and beat you for no reason, right?"

Xia Yulu’s face turned pale; she wasn’t giving up and argued, somewhat reasonably.

"No, I didn’t mean that, I was just thinking, Quansheng’s parents passed away early, and all along, we’ve been supporting him.

Knowing you’ve made new friends outside, I thought of bringing everybody over, getting acquainted, familiarizing, so that we could chat if we meet on the street."

"Enough, don’t flaunt your fluency in front of me. For the things you said, touch your conscience and ask yourself, do you believe them?"

Li Jing’an saw Xia Yulu biting her lip and said mockingly, "Also, stop always boasting about how you helped Quansheng.

It’s ridiculous; would you really keep talking about a moldy bun?

If someone didn’t know, they’d think Quansheng was living a life of luxury under your roof."

Zhang Quansheng’s parents died early, leaving him to survive in the Zhang Family’s home.

That period can’t even be described as living, it was simply hell.

Not having enough to eat or wear, every day after waking up.

Not greetings, but whips, curses, or punches and kicks.

In the Zhang Family, he took on most of the work, and any slight mistake or delay.

Would be met with beating.

Beating while cursing.

Going hungry became normal.

Zhang Quansheng’s stomach is still not very good, occasionally suffering from small problems.

The Zhang Family’s other children treated Zhang Quansheng as a toy.

Amusing plaything.

Then, Zhang Quansheng left that life because his aunt stepped up, defying her husband’s family.

Resolutely took him in and cared for him.

If not for that, in such an environment, let alone success, keeping his life would be a blessing.

But, Zhang Quansheng is indeed someone who remembers kindness.

Despite the Zhang Family being so evil and hateful, when he later became prosperous, he still offered them some help amidst their difficulties, although not much.

However, the Zhang Family was greedy, always wanting to compare their position with his aunt’s.

Thinking of Zhang Quansheng as ungrateful, always siding with outsiders.

Achieving success, not scheming to promote family members, but treating an outsider so well, as if kicked by a donkey.

They failed to realize that they were the ones who were vile, greedy beyond measure.

Thinking back to everything Zhang Quansheng went through, Li Jing’an raised her hand and slapped, "The moldy bun he owed you has long been paid off.

All these years, you leeches stuck to him, sucking his blood, I’ve seen and felt the pain in my heart.

I never bothered you, so as not to make you uncomfortable, nor make people think he is forgetful."

Now, there’s no need.

Not wanting to deal with irrelevant matters anymore.

Unravel everything, so everyone can judge who is shameless.

Li Jing’an stopped pretending, revealing the truth, leaving the Zhang Family stunned.

"No," Xia Yulu’s mother-in-law hurriedly ran over, grabbed Zhang Quansheng’s arm, pleading, "Quansheng, I know, that thing back then, was indeed improper from our side.

But, thinking honestly, whose children don’t get beaten or scolded?"

She cried out as though deeply wronged, "Being strict with you was hoping for your good.

Treating you as a responsibility too.

If not, why wouldn’t I beat other children outside but only you?

To put it plainly, it’s because I saw you as family."

Zhang Quansheng laughed, his eyes showing resignation and relief; see, the Zhang Family is still so foolish.

"Whether family or not, you clearly know, and I know."

Zhang Quansheng smiled, intending to wait longer and let the Zhang Family be trapped in their troubles, but now it seemed unnecessary.

Let it be today.

To completely cut ties with the past.

"Over the years, relying on my connections, haven’t you guys bullied around and acted high-handed in the team?"

"How can you say that?"

Xia Yulu’s mother-in-law grinned awkwardly, "It’s not as bad as you say, it’s merely because of your outstanding abilities, we walk with the backbone straighter."

Zhang Quansheng laughed, "Hope, auntie’s backbone can be straight too in the future..."
