Guide To Reign My Tycoon Husbands - Chapter 419

Chapter 419: Breaking free
Madam Zhai immediately turned to look at Zhai Haidong and waved her hand, “Alright, alright. That’s enough with the drama; come here and apologise to your sister. After that we will let this matter end.”

Since she could not let this matter be investigated, she could only suppress Zhai Haidong into lowering her head and admitting her ‘mistakes.’

But Madam Zhai didn’t know that Zhai Haidong was no longer the same woman as she was an hour ago; she was no longer willing to listen to her anymore at all.

Zhai Haidong raised her head and stared at Madam Zhai before saying in a stern and clear voice, “No.”

“That’s right, as the younger sister, you need to be much more broad-minded and understanding of—what did you say?” Madam Zhai was sure that she had misheard something because she was sure that as long as she pushed Zhai Haidong’s head a little, this daughter of hers wouldn’t dare to say another word against her.

But Zhai Haidong actually said ‘no’?

“Pfft!” Luo Huian, who was amused by the look on Madam Zhai’s face, couldn’t help but laugh a little, causing the old woman to turn and glare at her.

She then turned to look at Zhai Haidong before snapping at her, “What is wrong with Haidong!? I am trying to be generous here and —”

“Generous with what? By blaming me for something that I didn’t do generously?” Zhai Haidong sneered. She curled her lips and stated in a cold voice, “If I were the real culprit, then you wouldn’t have brushed the matter under the rug; instead, you would have done your best to send me to prison. You think you can make a fool out of others by saying all kinds of nonsense?”

Madam Zhai was struck speechless by the round of blame that Zhai Haidong had thrown on her head. For a second she was suspicious of the fact that this woman was not her daughter and someone else who just looked like Zhai Haidong; after all, how could this daughter of hers, who had not once, not even a single time, gone against her, humiliate her in such a manner?

“Zhai Haidong!”

“Don’t scream,” Zhai Haidong rolled her eyes and spoke in a sullen tone, “I can hear you just fine and I am telling you that I am not going to agree with this matter no matter what! If you think that you can make me lower my head and agree that it was I who harmed Zhai Zou instead of her who tried to bite off more than she could chew, then it’s impossible.”

Zhai Haidong knew that her mother was biased, she also knew that Luo Huian was correct when she said that if Zhai Haidong didn’t stand up for herself, then no one would stand up for her. Since that was the case, then she might as well fight for herself!

Madam Zhai’s eyes widened. She looked at Zhai Haidong as if the woman had gone crazy but before she could say anything more, Zhai Haidong turned to look at the crowd and said in a loud, booming voice, “I know that as a child of the Zhai family, I am supposed to be filial to the elders of the Zhai family but what am I supposed to do when the elders and my very own mother don’t seem to respect or care for me?”

This was what Luo Huian taught her; if she was to cut off Madam Zhai without giving an explanation, then her sister would definitely cause trouble for her. Since that was the case, then she would make it impossible for Zhai Zou to cause trouble for her.

“Its not like that,” Zhai Zou, who had finally finished dressing up, looked at Zhai Haidong with a frustrated and annoyed expression. She could not understand why this woman was suddenly going against them. Clearly, she used to listen to their mother without questioning her.

Now all of a sudden she was showing such a tough attitude; who was the one who filled Zhai Haidong’s ears?

“Haidong, there is no need for you to be this upset,” Zhai Zou said to Zhai Haidong with a pleasant smile. “I might have made a mistake and thought that it was you who did it. After all, this is not the first time—I mean, we can let this matter go.”

Though she wanted to stop Zhai Haidong from causing any more trouble, Zhai Zou didn’t want to take the blame either. What if others really believed that it was her who caused trouble and ended up shooting herself in the foot? Thus, she brought up the incidents where she had successfully pinned blame on Zhai Haidong.

“See? Your sister is still willing to care for you,” Madam Zhai snorted. “Not that you are worthy of that; now stop causing trouble and come here.”

Ye Shun wanted to speak when he saw Madam Zhai treating her daughter as if she was beneath the others but was pulled by Luo Huian, who shook her head.

When Ye Shun saw that Luo Huian didn’t want him to speak, he pursed his lips and stopped speaking since his daughter wanted him to stay quiet; then naturally she must have some sort of plan in her head.

Luo Qingling also noticed the little actions of Luo Huian and restrained Bai Shiliu and Dong Geming, who wanted to rush ahead and beat Madam Zhai. How can they not when this woman reminded them of their own parents!

Zhai Haidong’s eyes flashed and her lips curled into a smirk. She said to Madam Zhai, “Since I am such a troublemaker, then I will leave the Zhai family. I will leave with nothing such that you won’t suffer because of me, Mom.”

“NO!” As soon as she finished speaking, someone shouted from behind and everyone turned to look at Zhai Zou, who had refused Zhai Haidong’s suggestion.

It was only when everyone turned to look at her that Zhai Zou realised that she might have been a bit too agitated just now. She pursed her lips and then said with a smile on her face, “I mean there is no need for you to be so harsh to yourself, Haidong. I—I never asked you to do such a thing. All I wanted was for you to accept your mistake and not to kick you out of the family.”
