Chapter 876 -876: Dog Bites Dog, She is Pretending to be Crazy
Cao Meiyu and Guan Ya exchanged glances, each finding the other displeasing.
Zhou Luhe, however, noticed that amidst all the quarreling here, only Su Hongxing remained unharmed and at peace.
In the end, it was Su Hongxing who showed her face before Cao Zhen.
Guan Ya rushed forward to help Cao Shiyu up, and seeing a clear slap mark on her face, she angrily charged at Zhou Luhe, fiercely slapping her across the face.
Zhou Luhe was stunned by the blow, and she glared at Guan Ya: “Why did you hit me?!”
“You actually hit Shiyu behind my back?! Zhou Luhe, are you even human?” Guan Ya trembled with fury.
Zhou Luhe was enraged: “She hit me, why can’t I hit her back?”
Cao Zhen hadn’t gone far and heard the noise outside. He closed his eyes: “Girl, you must be laughing at us. Not one woman in this house is normal.”
Su Hongxing replied softly: “If Dad doesn’t like them, let them all leave. Tomorrow is Saturday, how about this, I take Dad for a river trip.”
“At my age, what’s the point of swimming in a river? Each day passed is one less to live,” Cao Zhen sighed softly: “The biggest mistake of my life was choosing such a path for fame and fortune.”
By marrying Guan Ya and having Cao Shiyu, a troublemaker, ruling the roost all these years in his official career, he realized he had gained nothing in the end. His home wasn’t a home, and he failed to care for the sensible child by his side, missing out on so many years with her.
“Dad is still young. When Dad retires, we can live in Qingmu Garden and take care of Little Pudding,” suggested Su Hongxing with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Cao Zhen laughed heartily: “That’s a good suggestion.”
Seeing Cao Zhen distracted, Ye Qilan turned and left the courtyard. He looked at the women whose quarrel was escalating and said calmly: “This place is not for your arguments, nor is it a bustling marketplace. You’re all behaving like shrews; you really should look in the mirror and see what you have become!”
The women present were almost at the point of grabbing each other’s hair and breaking into a fight.
Guan Ya and Cao Meiyu, being scolded by a junior in such a way, were a bit unable to retreat in dignity, but Ye Qilan’s words were rational, and they indeed looked unsightly at the moment.
“Mom, I don’t want to stay here anymore,” Zhou Luhe said to Cao Meiyu.
Seeing the situation becoming so unpleasant, Cao Meiyu, who would definitely continue to quarrel with Guan Ya if she stayed, also considered leaving.
In the end, Cao Meiyu and Zhou Luhe left for home.
After the two troublesome women left, Guan Ya led Cao Shiyu back to the living room.
Cao Shiyu kept calling for her sister, and Guan Ya thought Cao Shiyu wanted to play with Su Hongxing…
But Ye Qilan had seen through their ploy early on.
The sudden fight between Cao Shiyu and Zhou Luhe was no accident. It was very likely that Su Hongxing had given a push to test Cao Shiyu’s reaction.
The result was a dog-eat-dog mess, making both Cao Meiyu and Guan Ya turn against each other.
Su Hongxing stayed with Cao Zhen watching TV until ten o’clock. When Cao Zhen said he wanted to rest, she and Ye Qilan went back to their room to rest.
After they both had taken their baths, Ye Qilan chatted with Su Hongxing on the bed: “Did you give Cao Shiyu a push?”
Trying to hold back her laughter, Su Hongxing nodded: “Yeah, the lighting in the yard was bad, and I pushed a little too hard. That one push sent Cao Shiyu tumbling onto Zhou Luhe. Zhou Luhe thought Cao Shiyu did it on purpose and slapped her right away. Cao Shiyu almost immediately hit back; that kind of reflex is the most genuine to me. I think, Cao Shiyu is very likely pretending to be insane.”
