Chapter 217 Reconciliation
The wounds on Jiang Shaoan's face, his miserable appearance, coupled with his pitiful and miserable crying, made him look like a bullied and wronged man.
Others had to shout "miserable" when they saw him.
The two little maids who followed him silently were also shocked and widened their eyes. Obviously, they had never seen their young master in such a miserable state. In the past, it was only their young master who bullied others. When did they see the young master crying about being bullied?
This...
The two little maids looked at Lin Jiangnian and were all stunned.
Where did this handsome young man come from?
However, facing Jiang Shaoan's miserable crying, the figure standing behind the courtyard did not move.
"Sister Zhiyuan, you, you say something..."
Jiang Shaoan played the victim for a long time, but he saw Sister Zhiyuan in front of him was indifferent.
"You should make a decision for me!"
Zhiyuan was still motionless and looked at him calmly.
For some reason, Jiang Shaoan seemed to see some strange look in Sister Zhiyuan's eyes.
At this time, Lin Jiangnian's lazy voice came from behind: "Hey, Young Master Jiang, the helpers you called here are not good enough!"
Jiang Shaoan's face froze, and he was immediately ashamed and angry. He suddenly turned his head and stared at Lin Jiangnian: "Don't be so proud... You are still stubborn when you are about to die!"
"Really?"
Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows: "I am about to die?"
As he said, Lin Jiangnian walked towards him.
Jiang Shaoan was instantly flustered and uncalm. He subconsciously wanted to retreat. But thinking that he couldn't be timid, he immediately stood still. Thinking that Sister Zhiyuan was beside him, he suddenly felt a lot of security, and then sneered and stared at Lin Jiangnian: "I am the eldest young master of the Jiang family. If you offend me, don't think about leaving here alive!"
He looked flustered, but still stubborn.
With Sister Zhiyuan by his side, would he dare to do it?
Sister Zhiyuan will definitely not watch herself being bullied.
However, the smug smile on Jiang Shaoan's face did not last long.
Lin Jiangnian approached, suddenly turned around and looked at Zhiyuan behind Jiang Shaoan, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Has he always been so brave?"
Zhiyuan did not speak.
"If I beat him up now, no one should stop me, right?"
Lin Jiangnian was thoughtful.
Zhiyuan still did not speak, her fair face was still delicate, but there was a hint of haggardness between her eyebrows, as if she had lost her former look. When her eyes fell on Lin Jiangnian, she was calm.
But, under that calm look, something was looming.
"Naughty children must be beaten, and they must be well educated from childhood to give them a complete childhood!"
Lin Jiangnian sighed and pointed at Jiang Shaoan: "If you don't beat him up a few more times, it's easy to cultivate such a bastard!"
"You are the bastard!"
Hearing that Lin Jiangnian dared to scold him, Jiang Shaoan immediately scolded him. But as he was cursing, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
Is this guy talking to... Sister Zhiyuan?
Jiang Shaoan's smile froze slightly. He looked at Lin Jiangnian, then at Sister Zhiyuan, and suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart. Before he could react, he saw Lin Jiangnian turned his head and stared at him. Jiang Shaoan was shocked and immediately made a defensive posture: "What do you want to do?"
Lin Jiangnian smiled: "What do you think I want to do?"
"You..."
Jiang Shaoan immediately threatened: "Don't force me to be rude!"
Lin Jiangnian glanced at him: "I let you run away just now, and now you come to me... Today, I have to teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents."
"Teach me a lesson?!"
Jiang Shaoan's eyes widened in shock. He was so arrogant. Who dared to teach him a lesson? !
"You are looking for death!"
The enraged Jiang Shaoan couldn't stand it anymore, and waved his fist directly towards Lin Jiangnian.
He had accidentally fallen a few times before, so this time Jiang Shaoan was very careful and must not make the same mistake again. The powerful fist approached Lin Jiangnian directly, and Jiang Shaoan's sneer became more and more intense. At such a close distance, he was confident that he could knock down this vulnerable guy in front of him with one punch.
Just as Jiang Shaoan's fist approached, Lin Jiangnian suddenly stretched out his hand and gently blocked Jiang Shaoan's fist. Jiang Shaoan suddenly opened his eyes wide, and before he could come to his senses, Lin Jiangnian took advantage of the situation and gently pinched him, and Jiang Shaoan felt a piercing pain in his fist.
"Ouch!"
A scream followed by a dizzy spell. When Jiang Shaoan reacted, he was pinned to the ground by Lin Jiangnian's grappling hand, unable to move.
Jiang Shaoan was shocked and angry: "You, let me go?!"
Lin Jiangnian ignored him and smiled: "Is it wrong?"
Jiang Shaoan cursed: "You are wrong..."
Before he could utter the dirty word, he was kicked hard on his butt from behind, and he twitched in pain.
"Is it wrong?"
"You dare to hit me? You are finished, you are dead... This young master will kill you... Ouch... Ah! Sister Zhiyuan, save me, save me quickly..."
Zhiyuan stood aside, motionless.
On the other side, the two maids saw their young master being beaten, their faces changed slightly, and when they hesitated whether to come forward, the other side of the Zhiyuan sister glanced at them, and the two maids were stunned.
Is this... to watch the young master being beaten?
The two maids were terrified, but they did not come forward after all.
Jiang Shaoan did not wait for Sister Zhiyuan to rescue him, and continued to face Lin Jiangnian's ruthless kicks. Every kick was accurate and landed on the softest part of Jiang Shaoan's butt. His kicks were also very tricky, specifically aimed at the most painful places without leaving any injuries.
"You are so young and don't learn well. You bully the weak all day long and look down on others. Who taught you to be like this? I have to teach you a lesson today... Am I wrong?"
The sharp pain on his buttocks made Jiang Shaoan twitch, and a strong sense of humiliation surged in his heart.
He was furious and stared at Lin Jiangnian, gritting his teeth.
"You are dreaming. This young master will never admit his mistakes even if he dies... Ouch... You are done... Ouch... Don't... Woo woo... Wrong, wrong..."
"I was wrong!"
The strong young master Jiang, who was as strong as an eagle, couldn't bear the pain and humiliation on his buttocks after all. He cried and was unwilling to admit his mistakes and surrender.
After all, he was only a teenager, and he was beaten by Lin Jiangnian so unreasonably that he doubted his life and cried out immediately.
He cried miserably!
Tears and snot flowed down, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
"Shut up, don't cry!"
Lin Jiangnian glared at him and pretended to lift his foot again, which frightened Jiang Shaoan so much that he stopped crying abruptly.
"Do you know you are wrong?"
Lin Jiangnian looked at him.
Jiang Shaoan gritted his teeth and stared at Lin Jiangnian fiercely. Seeing Lin Jiangnian's increasingly hostile eyes, he shrank his neck and said unwillingly: "Wrong, wrong..."
"Very good, you are a teachable kid!"
Lin Jiangnian nodded: "Remember, be honest in the future. If I see you not learning your lesson again, I will continue to beat you next time, understand?"
"I know, I know..."
Lin Jiangnian let him go with satisfaction. Jiang Shaoan, who regained his freedom, struggled and staggered, limping away from Lin Jiangnian. When he retreated to a sufficient distance, he stared at Lin Jiangnian and gritted his teeth and said: "This young master will never admit his mistakes, you are dreaming!"
"You wait for this young master, this young master will never forgive you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Shaoan turned around and ran away, limping, fearing that Lin Jiangnian would catch up with him.
Lin Jiangnian naturally didn't chase him. Seeing Jiang Shaoan fleeing, he stood up contentedly and walked to Zhiyuan.
The other two maids in the yard also chased Jiang Shaoan. Although it was refreshing to see the young master who was usually domineering being taught a lesson, they were maids in the mansion after all, so they naturally couldn't ignore the young master. After they left, only Lin Jiangnian and Zhiyuan were left in the yard.
After a few days, seeing Zhiyuan again, Lin Jiangnian was somewhat excited and emotional. Looking at Zhiyuan's cold face and calm eyes. Very calm, but with a hint of emotion.
Familiar!
It was this cold temperament that made Lin Jiangnian particularly kind.
Zhiyuan glanced at Lin Jiangnian and looked away.
"Are you still angry?"
Lin Jiangnian came forward and chuckled.
Zhiyuan didn't speak, nor did he look at him. Without saying a word, he turned around and prepared to leave. Just after taking a step, Lin Jiangnian grabbed his hand again.
Zhiyuan flicked it lightly, but to no avail.
She glanced back at him and said, "Let go."
Her voice was neither cold nor indifferent, but it was vaguely angry, but it was hard to tell.
But Lin Jiangnian saw her reaction, so how could he not know?
She was still angry.
However...
Lin Jiangnian looked down at the small hand he held in his palm, which was soft as boneless, with a bit of coldness and softness. He tried to break free, but his strength was not strong.
"I was wrong this time. I apologize to you."
Lin Jiangnian took Zhiyuan's hand, stepped forward, and apologized sincerely.
Zhiyuan still didn't speak.
Seeing this, Lin Jiangnian sighed, "I know you want to stay there with me, but I can't joke with your life!"
"Mr. Shen's martial arts are too high. Even if you stay there, you can't be his opponent. You will just die in vain."
Zhiyuan still didn't speak, and his expression became colder.
At this point, Lin Jiangnian paused, looked up at Zhiyuan, and said in a light but serious tone: "Even if it happens again, I will still do this... No matter what, I don't want you to get into trouble!"
Zhiyuan continued to remain silent.
However, perhaps Lin Jiangnian's words had some effect, and Zhiyuan's struggle in her hands seemed to be less intense.
Lin Jiangnian sighed again: "You don't know how miserable I was this time... I almost died there..."
Zhiyuan, who had not responded, suddenly raised her head and looked at him. Her eyes swept over Lin Jiangnian and then moved away again.
Faintly, a trace of worry was seen from the corner of Zhiyuan's eyes.
It flashed by.
Lin Jiangnian smiled, and he had a bottom line in his heart. He held Zhiyuan's little hand. Although Zhiyuan didn't say anything, Lin Jiangnian knew that she had been listening all the time.
It seemed cold, but it was actually delicate.
Lin Jiangnian told Zhiyuan about what had happened during this period in a low voice.
"Actually, before I left Linjiang City, my father told me something..."
"Although there was an accident, the other party still took action..."
"I was rescued by her and stayed there to recuperate..."
Lin Jiangnian talked about what happened during this period, surviving from Mr. Shen, being rescued by the woman in white, and then staying there to recuperate...
Zhiyuan is now the person Lin Jiangnian trusts the most, so Lin Jiangnian did not hide anything. Of course, there is no need to mention such an insignificant thing as Miss Jinxiu asking Lin Jiangnian whether he wants to sleep with her master.
Zhiyuan listened quietly, and when she heard the woman in white mentioned by Lin Jiangnian, she frowned slightly, as if thinking about something.
Her eyes fell on Lin Jiangnian, but she didn't speak.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Jiangnian noticed her abnormality.
Zhiyuan was silent for a long time, as if she wanted to say something but stopped, but she didn't speak in the end.
Lin Jiangnian shook her little hand, looked around, and seemed to think of something: "By the way, where is my aunt?"
Before coming to Jiang Mansion, Lin Jiangnian had learned that in addition to Jiang Ningkang and Jiang's mother, Lin Jiangnian's aunt, who was supposed to be in Jiang's family in Jiangnan, had already arrived in Beijing.
At the same time, she also lived in Jiang Mansion.
When mentioning her aunt, Zhiyuan finally reacted, looked at Lin Jiangnian, and said after a while: "My aunt entered the palace."
The voice was very light, but she finally spoke.
Lin Jiangnian breathed a sigh of relief, and was a little confused: "Entering the palace, what is she going to do?"
Zhiyuan said calmly: "My aunt was summoned to the palace by the Queen Mother, and she will be back tomorrow."
Lin Jiangnian was a little surprised. That aunt still has such connections in Beijing?
Thinking of that aunt, Lin Jiangnian was thoughtful. The prince of Lin had met that aunt, and that aunt even lived in the Lin Palace for a period of time. Although it has been a long time, they have had an intersection after all.
Lin Jiangnian should be careful.
While thinking, he saw Zhiyuan staring at him.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Jiangnian looked at Zhiyuan's cold and bright eyes and spoke.
Zhiyuan looked away and looked outside the yard, silent. But Lin Jiangnian saw something on her face.
"If you have anything to say, just say it."
Lin Jiangnian sighed: "You didn't hesitate like this before."
Zhiyuan in the past was indeed not like this now.
Hearing this, Zhiyuan was silent.
After a while, she looked at Lin Jiangnian again, and was silent for a long time before finally speaking: "That woman in white...she saved you?"
"Huh?"
"Why did she save you?"
Zhiyuan asked.
The tone was calm, but the eyes were bright, staring at Lin Jiangnian, as if questioning something.
"I don't know about this."
Lin Jiangnian shook his head: "I don't know what her purpose is. If saving from Mr. Shen is to repay my father's favor, what she did later seems to be more like a conspiracy..."
Whether it is to help Lin Jiangnian recover from his injuries or to help him improve his strength, it is enough to see that the woman in white has a big plot.
As for why she did this, it is not clear for the time being.
Zhiyuan ignored this and continued to stare at Lin Jiangnian, "You, don't you know who she is?"
Facing Zhiyuan's seemingly cold and calm eyes, but with a hint of burning. It seems to be questioning, but it is clear to the bottom.
Lin Jiangnian was stunned for a while, and then sighed after a while.
"I didn't know at first, but later..."
"I guessed it!"
"..."
