Chapter 52: Chapter 52 Pursue the Victory

Chapter 52 -52 Pursue the Victory

As she collapsed, Chiang Xiao finally despised the lines she just delivered.

It felt like she was acting in a domestic battle drama, so artistic and innocent that even she started to get goosebumps.

But the effect was indeed spectacular.

Ge Liutao immediately supported her and started to cry, looking helplessly at Chiang Songhai, “Uncle Hai, Little has fainted…”

“Little!”

How could Chiang Songhai care about his older sister-in-law sitting on the ground?

He immediately turned around, rushed over, and picked up Chiang Xiao.

Just as Chiang Songtao entered the courtyard, he said, “Second brother, did you really hit your sister-in-law…”

Before he could finish, Chiang Songhai angrily said, “Big brother, you didn’t even ask what your sister-in-law did or said! If something really happened to Little, I might actually have hit her!”

Chiang Xiao’s fainting and her recent words made Chiang Songhai frantic, and his tone was cold and harsh.

Without paying any more attention to them, he immediately carried Chiang Xiao into the room and also said to Ge Liutao, “Boil another bowl of medicine!”

“Yes, yes.”

Ge Liutao, anxious as if on fire, didn’t care about anything else and ran into the kitchen.

In the courtyard was left a stunned Chiang Songtao, a dumbfounded Song Xiyun looking around, and Ho Laidi who had not yet stood up from the ground.

“I’m so angry, I’m not done with them!” Ho Laidi got up, dusted off her buttocks, her eyes shining with rage as she was about to charge into the main room, but Chiang Songtao grabbed her.

“Enough!” Chiang Songtao glared at her, “Do you still want to eat or not?”

It was midday, with the meal half-cooked, and she had come out with a spatula in hand—were they all supposed to starve to death?

“Didn’t you see how your second brother treated me?”

“I’ve already called him to come to our house after lunch, what else do you want? We can talk about it after we eat!”

Chiang Songtao usually didn’t involve himself in household matters, but when he spoke up, Ho Laidi still listened.

Song Xiyun was even less likely to say anything at this point.

Inside the room, Chiang Xiao lay with her eyes closed, but hearing the quiet outside, she still felt a bit relieved.

Feigning fainting was something she could only pull off once; after all, she was technically still a patient at the moment.

She couldn’t use it again once she recovered.

And she didn’t want to resort to it again.

But today’s feigned fainting was effective.

As for Grandpa standing up to Ho Laidi fiercely once.

If it happens once, it can happen again. Now she was relying on Grandpa’s affection for her, but to prevent him from being hurt even more by the Old Chiang Family in the future, she could only be unfilial for the time being.

Chiang Xiao gradually opened her eyes and met Chiang Songhai’s worried gaze.

“Little, what’s wrong?”

Chiang Xiao bit her lower lip and said nothing.

Seeing her like this, Chiang Songhai became anxious, “What’s still uncomfortable? Did you get a fever again?”

As he said this, he reached out to touch Chiang Xiao’s forehead.

It didn’t seem like she had a fever.

Only then did Chiang Xiao speak, “Grandpa, I’m fine now.” After saying this, her eyes brightened and she cheerfully exclaimed, “Grandpa, I am so happy today!”

“Happy?” Chiang Songhai was taken aback.

How could she be happy after being scolded and hit?

Chiang Xiao sat up and nodded vigorously, “Really happy! Because this is the first time Grandpa supported me when aunt was scolding and hitting me!”

Chiang Songhai: …

Suddenly, he felt both heartache and guilt!

He reflected, and it was indeed the truth!

In the past, every time his sister-in-law scolded and hit Little, he always advised Little to bear with it because she was an elder…

Chiang Songhai’s eyes grew warm.

Chiang Xiao pressed her advantage, looking at him earnestly, “Will Grandpa still protect me in front of aunt in the future?”
