Chapter 60: Family Banquet - Refutation
Xing looked at WanRou who looked like she had lost her mind and those two women were shocked to listen to her accusation too.
Xing wondered, what does me helping my brother with his work got to do with her?
Rijun who understood what WanRou insinuated was shocked to the bones, How could someone try to imply such thing about a pair of siblings? He was enraged and held his hands in a fist. Then it dawned on him as he remembered that Xu mama voiced concern when he entered. For others, his sister and him are mere cousins who only knew each other for some weeks and not blood siblings who grew up together. In their kingdom, even blood siblings won’t visit each other at nights. Oh Boy! What have I done? I jumped through the window of an unmarried girl late night and stayed there for my own purposes without consideration! Rijun cursed himself.
Ever since he became close with his sister he kind of forgot she was a girl who is originally not his blood sister but a cousin and always treated her as a peer and he felt closer to her. Even if he was the one jumped through the window, only she will be blamed as the world always blamed only the woman. He didn’t realise his mindless act would end up hurting her like this. He felt sad and guilty.
Shengli looked at Rijun and kind of got what might have happened. He knew Rijun always asked Xing to complete his work for him and sometimes they continued it through the middle of night. That should have happened last night too. But couldn’t you have been a little careful when there are guests around, Rijun? He sighed. He wanted to know how Xing would handle this but looking at her she had no idea how serious this issue is.
"So? What’s that got to do with what you did today?", Xing asked confused. AoTian rubbed his temples, does his daughter really didn’t understand what she is implying? He looked at Rijun who was shocked to the core and had a guilty expression. His eyes wandered to look at Shengli who was angry and at the same time expectant.
"You shameless bitch!", WanRou sneered, " So you agree that you were with big brother Rijun last night?"
"Yes, we were for a while. But watch what you call me", Xing said sternly. She wondered why she keeps on talking about it.
"Huh!", WanRou sneered, " What else should I call a bitch who does vulgar things with a man she calls brother in the middle of the night?"
Xing only understood what she meant by now and before her brain registered that she was accused of doing indecent things with her brother her hand reacted first and slapped her hard. The slap was pretty hard that she lost balance and almost fell on the floor.
Xing never felt that angered before in her life before and she had never hurt a woman before too. She was too angry and she could feel her hand burning by the slap she gave and still she could not calm down and her breathing got erratic. Her eyes spit fire and she looked at her with fury.
WanRou laughed with blood trickling from the corner of her lips, " Now I know why Lord Ming gave such an expensive dress to you for free right? He should have been too pleased by the ’special bonding’ you had in his bed too right?"
