Chapter 81: Drama About Family Ethics
Cen Shuang laughed lightly. It turned out that Zhuang Hong was the one who doted on Zhuang Xinyan the most. Unfortunately, he was her husband.
Cen Shuang smiled and asked Zhuang Xinyan casually, “How much pocket money does your brother give you in a month?”
Zhuang Xinyan was very wary of Cen Shuang. “Why are you asking about this?”
Most importantly, Zhuang Xinyan felt that this woman was not human. When she thought about the time her phone fell into the bucket, she could not forget how strange it was. Cen Shuang must have hidden something from the Zhuang family. Anyway, she felt that Cen Shuang did not seem like a good person.
Cen Shuang was very satisfied with Zhuang Xinyan’s wariness. However, if she wanted to make a move against someone, they could not stop her even if they were wary of her. She walked closer and just as she moved, a faint sound came from the door behind her. Zhuang Xinyan could not hear it. However, Cen Shuang could hear it clearly. After all, this was the Zhuang family’s territory, and they had the authority here. She could do nothing about that. Furthermore, she was already scaring the Zhuang family’s daughter.
Cen Shuang’s approach was a threat to Zhuang Xinyan. Her 20-plus years of upbringing in the Zhuang family’s household only taught her how to complain. When the time came for a real fight, she immediately became timid. “Don’t come any closer. If you dare to touch a single finger of mine, I’ll fight you to the death.”
She originally thought that a young lady like Cen Shuang, who came from a good background like her own, would definitely leave the Zhuang family unprompted or throw a tantrum after a few jokes were directed at her. However, Cen Shuang did not do so. Instead, Cen Shuang’s calmness made Zhuang Xinyan suspect that this woman was shameless. Could she really be interested in the Zhuang family’s money?!
The two of them sized each other up. Zhuang Xinyan closed her eyes nervously and felt Cen Shuang approaching her step by step. She hurriedly made a pushing gesture and shouted, “Cen Shuang, you bad woman, get lost.”
“Ah!” A weak voice followed the opening of the door and a cry followed. Then Cen Shuang fell to the ground.
Boyan, who was at the door, saw the pivotal moment and smiled with interest. He looked at Zhuang Hong, who was sitting in the wheelchair in front of him. He said in a light tone, “Your house is really lively. This is a new drama about family ethics, right?”
After saying that, she did not even notice Zhuang Hong’s gloomy expression. Instead, he smiled and waved at Zhuang Xinyan, who was staring at him with her mouth agape. “Cousin, come on, go and tear her apart.”
Cen Shuang, who was pretending to be weak on the ground, could not help but roll her eyes. She really did not mind watching the drama unfold.
Zhuang Xinyan stared blankly at Cen Shuang, who she had ‘pushed to the ground’. She hurriedly withdrew her outstretched arms and looked at Zhuang Hong. “Brother, I didn’t push her!”
Although she had wanted to push her, Cen Shuang was standing one or two steps away from her. The tip of her fingers did not even touch Cen Shuang. How did this woman end up on the ground? How did she know?!
When Zhuang Hong saw Cen Shuang on the ground, he was dumbfounded. At first, Zhuang Xinyan did not know what this woman was doing. However, when she saw Zhuang Hong and Boyan at the door, she finally understood that Cen Shuang was acting. She was acting like an innocent girl, the white lotus. She was taking a page out of the novels by tricking the man into thinking she was suffering. Zhuang Xinyan was so angry that she stomped her feet. “Cen Shuang, you’re acting! You’re faking It! You’re such a bad woman. Quickly, tell my brother that I didn’t push you!”
Cen Shuang was sprawled on the floor. When she saw Zhuang Xinyan jumping around in anger, she let out an ‘Oh’. Then, she turned to look at Zhuang Hong at the door. Tears immediately welled up in her eyes.
Cen Shuang sobbed softly. With one hand covering the corner of her eyes and the other propping herself on the ground, she cried pitifully, “Hubby, don’t misunderstand. I was the one who accidentally fell to the ground. Xinyan didn’t push me.”
Boyan, who was behind her, almost could not hold back his laughter. After Zhuang Hong levelled a glare at him, he stifled his laughter. In the end, he could only pat Zhuang Hong’s shoulder helplessly. He wore an expression that said he was looking out for himself.
Cen Shuang’s body trembled when she finished speaking. She covered her face and let out a series of sobs from behind her fingers. Cen Shuang looked like a pitiful little lamb at this moment. She was being bullied so pitifully. On top of that, she had just recovered from her illness and her body was weak. She already seemed helpless and now she was on the ground looking so pitiful. Beside her stood a young lady who was threatening to chase her out of the Zhuang family. It would have been fine if she did not try to explain, but this explanation made it seem like Zhuang Xinyan had definitely pushed her.
Zhuang Xinyan’s face was filled with disbelief. This woman was too good at acting. “Brother, believe me, I really did not push her. She was just acting. Cen Shuang, get up and stop acting.”
Zhuang Xinyan was furious. She had never been framed like this since she was young. Just as she was about to pull Cen Shuang off the ground, Zhuang Hong, who was at the door, finally said, “Haven’t you had enough?!”
The man’s voice was deep and profound, with a domineering and authoritative tone. Cen Shuang could not help but tremble slightly.
