Guide To Reign My Tycoon Husbands - Chapter 418

Chapter 418: Rebellion (2)
And sure enough, Madam Zhai didn’t disappoint Luo Huian as she turned around on her feet and looked at Zhai Haidong like a wolverine who was about to skin her alive and eat her flesh.

“Zhai Haidong!” Madam Zhai rushed out of the room and raised her hand before slapping Zhai Haidong on the cheek with all the strength she could muster.

And Zhai Haidong, who hadn’t defended herself against her mother, simply closed her eyes and let the slap fall. The sting of the slap made her dazed mind wake up and her eyes turned another degree colder.

She raised her hand and touched her cheek before straightening up and looking at Madam Zhai, who was looking at her as if she was her enemy and Zhai Haidong sucked in a breath. She knew that her mother didn’t like her but she never knew that her mother hated her so much.

“You bitch! I knew that you were planning something when you agreed to come to this party. So this was what you were thinking,” Madam Zhai sneered as she looked at her daughter with a gaze that held a small fire burning in it.

She caught hold of Zhai Haidong’s arm and pulled her inside. “Come here and kneel! Apologise to your sister for what you have done; how dare you scheme against your own sister? Don’t you find this embarrassing?”

Madam Zhai didn’t even know whether Zhai Zou was speaking the truth or not; she just trusted her elder daughter so much that she didn’t even bother to clarify whether Zhai Zou was speaking the truth or not.

Zhai Haidong stared at the hand that was dragging her and then raised her head to look at Luo Huian, who smiled at her. Even though she didn’t say anything, Zhai Haidong could feel her face burning.

Earlier Luo Huian told her that her mother would of course choose her sister but Zhai Haidong believed in Madam Zhai and told Luo Huian that as long as Zhai Zou lost her reputation, her mother would support her.

That she would see that Zhai Haidong was as good as Zhai Zou.

In the end, it turned out that it was she who was thinking too much. Her mother obviously didn’t like her, so how could she even care about her? While she had struggled harder and harder to gain the love of her mother, Zhai Zou didn’t even need to do anything.

All she had to do was cry and complain and their mother would trust her without even believing a word that Zhai Haidong said to her. In the past, Zhai Haidong thought that it was because she was not good at speaking and was like a fool who was trapped and schemed against by Zhao Zou all the time.

But now she knew that this had nothing to do with her being a fool. The reason her mother didn’t like her was all because she was biased! She was biased to the point that she couldn’t even see that her actions were hurting Zhai Haidong!

A cruel glint flashed in Zhai Haidong’s eyes and she dug the heels of her feet into the floor, causing Madam Zhai to stop.

Madam Zhai was stunned when she saw that she could no longer move; she blinked her eyes and turned to look at her daughter behind her. When she saw that it was Zhai Haidong who was refusing to move, her expression changed again and again and she cursed, “What do you think you are doing? Come here and apologise!”

“Why?” Zhai Haidong’s eyes were filled with a chill as she raised her head and questioned her mother, “Why should I apologise to her? Just because she said that I did it, you believed her and brought me to kneel in front of her? Where is the evidence? Or are we living in a world where we don’t even need evidence to prove one’s crimes? All we need to do is cry and then the one who was blamed needs to be executed? Then I will go ahead and cry in front of the court and blame you and her; let’s see if you two are hanged to death or not!”

As she spoke, she pushed Madam Zhai away from her.

Neither Madam Zhai nor Zhai Zou expected that Zhai Haidong would react in such a manner. Both of them were used to Zhai Haidong lowering her head and admitting that she was wrong. When had she turned against them?

Zhai Zou suddenly panicked because she never wanted to push Zhai Haidong too much. All she wanted was to make sure that this woman would not go against her and lower her head to admit that she was in the wrong such that her reputation would not suffer.

But the way Zhai Haidong was acting, it was making her nervous.

She turned to look at her mother and said to her, “Forget it, Mom. Since Dong Dong says that she didn’t do it, then we might as well leave the matter alone.”

She acted generously as if she was covering for Zhai Haidong but that only made Zhai Haidong even more disgusted by her. She sneered and said to Zhai Zou, “There is no need for you to act as if you are doing it for my good.”

“If you are not willing, then we can call the police and have them deal with this matter. Anyway, I am not the one who did anything wrong; thus, I am not scared of investigation but I cannot say the same for you.”

Zhai Zou stiffened when she heard Zhai Haidong say that he was willing to call the police and cooperate with the investigation. She tugged on the sleeves of her mother’s shirt and shook her head.

Only then did Madam Zhai realise what went down between the two sisters; though she was annoyed and helpless due to what Zhai Zou did, what could she do other than support her? After all, Zhai Zou was her favourite child, she could only cover for her.
