Free Web NovelChapter 336: Chapter 341: It’s No Longer Okay to Bully Her_1
Watching Ye Ning approach, several servants immediately raised their planks and swung them toward her face on command.
"Ah..."
Xie Yuqin let out a sharp scream.
However, the plank didn’t land its strike as expected. Instead, it was caught mid-air by Ye Ning’s hand.
"What..."
The servant was taken aback, looking at Ye Ning holding the plank with one hand, as if it took no effort at all. Ye Ning looked back at him with a chilly gaze, as if observing an insignificant bug.
Despite his effort to draw back the plank, it didn’t budge an inch.
He was dumbfounded. How could such a frail-looking girl be so strong? Suddenly, Ye Ning jerked the plank back, causing the servant to tumble onto the ground. Following that, Ye Ning brought her knee down directly onto the servant’s back.
"Argh..."
He screamed out in pain. Ye Ning sneered and surveyed the others who were still restraining Xie Yuqin. She then reached out and grabbed one of them.
The man retaliated with a punch, but Ye Ning easily dodged it. Tripping him with a swift movement, she watched as he crashed to the ground.
Taking the opportunity, Ye Ning pulled Xie Yuqin to her feet and guided her to stand behind her. She then turned her attention to Rong Lihua.
"Madam, how dare you pull this kind of stunt in the capital city? Do you really think there’s no one here to put you in your place?"
"I..."
Rong Lihua couldn’t believe what she had just witnessed.
How could Ye Ning have evaded the attack so effortlessly?
She had planned on bullying Ye Ning, only to find out that it was her own people who ended up being outsmarted.
In just a brief confrontation, Ye Ning had easily outfoxed the Ye family’s servants, who lacked even basic training. These servants relied on sheer numbers and brute force showing no intellectual competence which made Ye Ning unwilling to employ her intelligence against them.
Compared to them, the Mu Family’s Iron Cavalry sure was a lot more interesting.
Ye Ning didn’t hesitate to give Rong Lihua a fierce glare. The servants standing nearby were too stunned to say a word, let alone dare to charge forward.
Ye Ning then took Xie Yuqin by the hand and walked out with a Swagger.
Once they were outside, Ye Ning turned back to look at Xie Yuqin.
The biological mother of her predecessor.
As Xie Yuqin looked at the transformed Ye Ning, she was rendered speechless. freēwēbnovel.com
Was this her daughter?
Was this the same crying, timid, mud-splattered, and grimy girl from their rural village?
Why...
She seemed almost unrecognizable now.
Ye Ning asked, "Mother, how did you end up here?"
The term "Mother" seemed to roll naturally off her tongue. Perhaps it was due to some lingering influence left by the body’s former occupant.
Tears welled up in Xie Yuqin’s eyes as she clung to Ye Ning. "Ye Ning, is it really you? Ye Ning, my daughter... I didn’t come here on my own accord. Someone told me they would bring me to meet you, that’s why I came..."
Her face twisted in remorse, "I know... I’m just a rural woman. Having me here would only make things worse for you. But I wanted to see you nonetheless. Also, Ye Ning, they said that you’re... already married..."
Ye Ning recalled some past events. The previous owner of her body had completely ignored their mother, striving to become the Ye Family’s Miss. She’d even suggested to her mother that she should pretend to be childless since having a rural mother would harm her new status. Before leaving, she told her devastated mother to pretend she never had a daughter.
It had truly angered Xie Yuqin at the time, but after so many years, she’d forgiven everything and was relieved to see her daughter now. ƒreewebɳovel.com
Ye Ning took Xie Yuqin’s hand and sighed. She wished the former master of this body could have done something good, so she wouldn’t have to deal with the aftermath of her selfish choices.
"Mother, it’s fine. Now that you’re here, let’s not dwell on these things. I’ll treat you to a meal. Just keep your distance from the Ye Family in the future."
Setting eyes on Ye Ning’s delicate fingers clasping her rough hand, Xie Yuqin was utterly moved.
Her daughter seemed different somehow...
