Chapter 57: Quarreling

“You—”

Bai Ting was furious.

Qin Yu blinked her big eyes and waited for her answer.

Seeing that she couldn’t say it… She said, “Whether you can see it or not, Brother is still mine. In that case, you weren’t good enough for him in the past, and now you’re still not good enough for him. I understand this logic, but why can’t you? You said that you want to take care of Brother, but Brother doesn’t need you to take care of him, right? We have a lot of servants in our family, and I’m here. We will take good care of Brother. What are you doing here? I don’t need you! We don’t need extra idle mouths to feed!”

As Qin Yu said this, she crossed her arms and looked at Bai Ting smugly.

Bai Ting decided not to hold back. She said spitefully, “Even if Cousin Chen is blind, he wouldn’t be reduced to marrying a fool like you. He deserves a better woman!”

“And you think that’s you?” Qin Yu looked at Bai Ting.

“You’re the woman who’s better than me, right? Then why didn’t you marry him before my brother and I got married?” Qin Yu’s question was tricky and sharp, but it also carried her unique foolishness.

Bai Ting was speechless.

Ning Chen reached out to pull Qin Yu. There was a faint smile on his lips. “Silly, don’t be angry.”

His soft and gentle voice was full of affection.

Qin Yu turned around and said to Ning Chen, “I’m not angry. I just want to reason with this cousin! Her behavior is wrong. She can’t take advantage of my absence to confess to you. What about me? Since I’m married to you, I’m supposed to be yours in life and your ghost in death.”

Qin Yu’s imposing manner was rather unforgiving.

Bai Ting had already calmed down. “Don’t be too smug. You’re just a tool that the Shi family sent. You can’t be the Ning family’s eldest young mistress.”

Qin Yu didn’t mind. “Then why weren’t you sent in as a tool? It means that you can’t even be a proper tool! I’m here to be Brother’s eyes! What do you have to say to that?”

Everyone was dumbfounded. Qin Yu’s thinking was obviously at elementary level, but every word was harsh.

And anyone with a discerning eye could see that this second branch cousin’s intentions were very obvious and she was already quite shameless. However, she was the second branch madam’s biological niece, Bai Jing, so she had to give the Bai family some face. Therefore… no matter how much they looked down on her behavior, they could only whisper no one said anything to stop her.

Meanwhile, the people of the Ning family all surrounded Ning Jie and did not come over. As a result, Bai Ting was alone.

When Bai Ting saw that Ning Chen had not stopped Qin Yu’s arrogance, she felt extremely wronged. She could not help but cry buckets of tears. “Cousin Chen, why do you have to be so wronged? To be with such a mentally unsound person? As long as you say the word, I am willing to be by your side forever!”

Wow! This Miss Bai was really going all out. She could even say something so direct.

“My brother doesn’t want you to stay by his side! It’s useless for you to cry! What are you crying for? I didn’t bully you!” Qin Yu was like a child who was fighting with others in elementary— swearing to defend her toy to the death, Ning Chen. No one could snatch it from her even if they tried!

Ning Chen placed his hand on Qin Yu’s head and said gently, “Xiao Yu, stop arguing, okay?”

“No! She bullied me! She said I was stupid and she wants to snatch you away!” Qin Yu yelled at Ning Chen. Her tone was aggrieved and overbearing, like a spoiled child. And who else could spoil her but Ning Chen?

Ning Chen comforted her as if no one else was around. “Silly, no one can snatch me away! You’re not stupid either, okay?”

Qin Yu’s expression finally eased up. She said coquettishly, “Then let’s go home. There are bad people here, and Xiao Yu doesn’t like them!”

Ning Chen nodded helplessly. “Okay, we’ll listen to you. Xiao Yu said we’re going home, so let’s go home.”

The two of them turned around hand in hand and walked out as if no one was around, ignoring all the onlookers. Ning Chen couldn’t see, and Qin Yu couldn’t care less.

Suddenly, they heard Bai Tng scream, “Cousin Chen, be careful!”

Everyone looked over, and even Ning Chen, who couldn’t see them, turned around.

A male servant was staggering over with a copper pot in his hand. Before everyone could react, Bai Ting had already pounced on Ning Chen.

Everyone couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, because the spout of the copper pot was emitting white steam. It was obvious that the liquid inside was boiling hot, and the pot was rushing towards Ning Chen.

Bai Ting rushed over recklessly in order to shield Ning Chen.
