Hearing her words, Yun Luofeng immediately guessed that Jun Ling’er must have been bullied by Cao Yueqin. And because of blood relations, the Jun Family sided with Cao Yueqin.
“Let’s go.” Yun Luofeng languidly stretched and walked outside.
“Sister Yun, where are you going?”
“Taking a walk.” Yun Luofeng did not say anything else and left.
She could hear the sounds of an argument from far away. A man’s gentle voice, tinged with fury, drifted to her ears.
“Cao Yueqin, don’t you think you went too far? Ling’er is at least a granddaughter recognized by Grandfather, aren’t you afraid your actions will provoke everyone’s anger?”
“Young Master Hua.” In contrast, Cao Yueqin’s tone was bashful with a trace of displeasure. “Don’t worry about me. I’m more important than Jun Ling’er, so why would the Jun Family grow angry toward me due to an outsider?”
Yun Luofeng’s steps halted, a faint smile appearing on her features. “Ling’er, do you think Cao Yueqin is truly dumb or pretending to be dumb?”
Hua Yifei was standing up for Jun Ling’er, so he sought Cao Yueqin out for retribution, but his actions turned into worrying for her in her words? Could it be that… there was something wrong with her head?
Jun Ling’er subconsciously pulled on Yun Luofeng. “Sister Yun, let’s go elsewhere for a walk. I don’t want to see Cao Yueqin.”
Yun Luofeng’s smile was wicked as she pushed away Jun Ling’er’s hand and walked toward Hua Yifei and Cao Yueqin.
Inside the garden, Cao Yueqin’s face was blushing from shyness while Hua Yifei’s face was red from rage, and his knuckles were cracking from how tight his fists were. If the other person’s status was not a hindrance, perhaps his fists would have already made contact with her head.
“What did you come here for?” Looking up, Cao Yueqin caught sight of the approaching Yun Luofeng and Jun Ling’er and frowned, her tone full of impatience. “Can’t you see I am having a date with Young Master Hua?”
Her words were clearly intended to agitate Jun Ling’er. After all, she already looked into it. Hua Yifei had lost his parents when he was young and came to the Jun Family to rely on his mother’s younger sister. He also had an engagement with Jun Ling’er.
An orphan like Hua Yifei must have befriended Jun Ling’er in order to latch onto the Jun Family. And since her status was higher than Jun Ling’er’s now, Hua Yifei would certainly abandon Jun Ling’er and want to take her as his wife.
Even if Hua Yifei did not have this intention, after Grandfather Jun returned she would have him force them apart. How could Jun Ling’er dare to disobey?
“Ling’er!” Hua Yifei’s heart jolted and he hurriedly walked to Jun Ling’er and hastily explained, “It absolutely isn’t what she said. I came to seek retribution from her.”
“I know.”
How could she not know her cousin’s character? There was no way that this man would betray her.
Hua Yifei visibly relaxed. He was worried that Jun Ling’er would believe in this b*tch’s attempt at driving a wedge between them.
“Humph!” Seeing that Hua Yifei had his eyes completely focused on Jun Ling’er, Cao Yueqin’s face instantly darkened. “Both of you are merely god-granddaughters of my grandfather! Yet you dare to be this impolite in front of me, the true miss! Believe me when I say that I can make the Jun Family kick you out!”
It was enough that Cao Yueqin was insulting Hua Yifei and Jun Ling’er, but she idiotically ran to Yun Luofeng and angrily shouted while pointing at them.
Thus… the snow-white girl suddenly lifted her leg and a kick landed on Cao Yueqin’s chest with a bang…
