Chapter 1126: Chapter 1126: Precious (Part 2)
"What’s going on?" Liu Qiao Lian hurried over, grabbed her own eldest girl and asked, "Who bullied you?"
Bullied?
Facing someone who jumps to a conclusion the moment she opens her mouth, Gu Lingling really didn’t know what to say.
"How are you taking care of the kids?"
When she didn’t speak, Liu Qiao Lian turned the spearhead on her instead. "How did a perfectly fine child get cried into this state? You just look down on our eldest girl, so you deliberately let the kids bully her."
Those words were a bit of a low blow.
Gu Lingling had been comforting the eldest girl, but when she heard that, she stood up at once and looked calmly at Liu Qiao Lian.
Liu Qiao Lian was startled by that look in her eyes.
"What are you staring at me like that for? Am I wrong?" Liu Qiao Lian pouted and said.
This kind of person is stubborn and close‑minded, like the whole world owes her, and whatever she does is always right.
"Exactly." Liu Xiaoqin also jumped in, holding her belly and smiling with narrowed eyes. "Look how wronged the eldest girl is. You can’t coax kids like that, can you?"
"Do you have some issue with Liu Qiao Lian’s family?" Liu Xiaoqin instantly raised the stakes. "Or is it because of what she said about you just now, and you’re holding a grudge?"
"What did she say about me just now?" Gu Lingling tilted her head, looked at Liu Xiaoqin and said with a smile, "How come I don’t know? Sister‑in‑law, help me jog my memory."
Liu Xiaoqin choked.
"If you think it’s nothing, then forget it, just treat it as me meddling." Liu Xiaoqin sneered.
"You are meddling a lot." Gu Lingling looked straight at her. "This was a tiny matter to begin with, but you all rushed over, didn’t ask a thing, and went ahead and passed judgment."
Especially Liu Xiaoqin—pregnant and still not content to stay quiet, practically someone who can’t rest until the whole world is in chaos.
"Holding a grudge?" Gu Lingling glanced at Liu Qiao Lian. "Sorry, my time is very valuable. Looking down on people or hating someone or whatever, I don’t do those things. They’re a waste of time and energy and completely pointless."
A few sentences and Liu Xiaoqin’s face felt like it had been slapped raw.
Not only did she call her meddlesome to her face, she also made it clear she wasn’t about to waste time and energy on that kind of thing.
As for feeling wronged and swallowing it?
Sorry, she would also give it right back.
Even if she couldn’t settle it on the spot, it wouldn’t be put off for long.
Take Liu Xiaoqin right now—Gu Lingling asked herself if, in the days she’d been here, she’d done anything to provoke her. But this woman had come after her again and again.
So what if she’s pregnant?
Being pregnant lets you act with impunity? The whole world has to cater to you? Give in to you?
Sorry, she’s not even close to her, okay!
Other things she might let slide, but when it comes to stirring up trouble like this, letting it go would only make her push further and further.
"You... such a sharp tongue." Liu Xiaoqin pointed at Gu Lingling angrily. "And you say you’re not? Then what’s with you being so aggressive?"
"You say we didn’t get the story straight, then you go ahead and make it clear." Liu Xiaoqin went on, "If you don’t give us an explanation for this today, even if the Captain comes, we’re not afraid."
"Not afraid of what?"
Speak of the devil and he appears.
Yang Yunhai’s voice rang out just as Liu Xiaoqin finished speaking. "I’m right here now, what’s going on with you all?"
"Are you alright?" he stepped to Gu Lingling’s side and asked with concern. "Don’t worry about giving me face—handle it however it needs to be handled."
