Chapter 11: Favoritism

Memories from before the age of four were very blurry. Sang Tian actually had no impression of her mother. She only remembered her mother often holding her and crying, her tears seemed endless.

She couldn’t remember her face, but she never forgot the feeling she had for her. She was thin, so thin that her bones were a little bony when she held her. She had a peculiar scent, she felt at ease when she smelled her scent, so much so that after she left, she couldn’t sleep a single night.

Oh, except when she was in Bo Si’s arms.

Her mother was beautiful and gentle, unlike Jiang Wantang’s deliberate kindness, it was a gentleness that emanated from her bones.

She wouldn’t allow anyone to defile her!

“Slap!”

A slap landed on Qi Nuan’s face. Sang Tian still wasn’t satisfied, she slapped her again, “If you can’t speak, you might as well not have a mouth!”

Sang Tian was strong, the first slap stunned Qi Nuan. She wanted to fight back, but she was no match for Sang Tian.

Seeing Qi Nuan’s mouth bleeding, Jiang Wantang was afraid that things would escalate, so she quickly pulled Sang Tian.

There’s no pulling without taking sides.

Xiao Xiao had gone to the bathroom, and when she came back, she saw this scene. Two people bullying one, she was indignant, she didn’t see clearly and pushed forward with a slap, just as Sang Tian was being pulled by Jiang Wantang, she used force to throw her away.

The two forces combined, Jiang Wantang was thrown to the side and fell to the ground, her forehead hitting the flower stand next to her.

“Ah—”

“Wantang!”

“Miss!” Jiang Wantang’s bodyguard rushed over.

Jiang Wantang was lying on the ground, her forehead instantly turned blue, her hand was scratched by the colorful stones on the ground, leaving countless tiny blood beads, it looked very painful.

Jiang Wantang’s whole face was contorted in pain.

Sang Tian was stunned, her raised hand was still in the air.

She didn’t expect Jiang Wantang to fall. She was very apologetic and a little regretful. After all, this was Bo Si’s fiancée, the future daughter-in-law that Old Madam Bo had chosen.

The Jiang family was also not easy to deal with.

If the Jiang family blamed her, Old Madam Bo alone wouldn’t easily forgive her.

She wasn’t afraid of trouble, but she didn’t want to cause trouble either.

Sang Tian squatted down, raised her hand to check Jiang Wantang’s injuries, her hand was about to touch her forehead, but Jiang Wantang dodged back, looking scared.

“Sang Tian! Stop!”

The man’s cold voice came, carrying the power of thunder and lightning.

Sang Tian’s hand trembled, her eyes followed the sound.

Under the light, the man’s tall figure rushed over from afar, the wind blew open his coat, revealing the solemn black suit underneath, making his dark face look extremely murderous.

Sang Tian retracted her hand, her heart tightened, she felt a little guilty and uneasy.

She was about to explain, but Qi Nuan spoke first, “Fifth Master! Sang Tian pushed Wantang! Wantang is your fiancée, she’s Sang Tian’s aunt, she actually disrespected her elders and beat her aunt in the street, slapping your face, clearly not taking you, her uncle, seriously!”

Sang Tian quickly explained, “I didn’t hit her, I just accidentally…”

“I saw it in the car, are you still trying to argue?!” Bo Si didn’t give Sang Tian a chance to explain, he looked down at Sang Tian, his eyes filled with coldness, “Hurry up and apologize to Wantang!”

His voice was cold and hard, leaving no room for sentiment.

“It wasn’t my fault, why should I apologize?!”

Although she didn’t push her, she accidentally hurt her, she was willing to apologize.

But there was a difference between apologizing voluntarily and being forced to apologize because of a false accusation.

Sang Tian felt a pang of heartache from the injustice.

Bo Si seemed not to see her reddening eyes at all, he stood beside Jiang Wantang, a meter away from her, forming an opposition, “It wasn’t your fault, did Wantang fall by herself?”

He questioned her repeatedly.

How could he not believe her? How could he force her to apologize without any explanation? Breaking her pride and making her bow her head, just to vent his fiancée’s anger?

She wouldn’t bow her head!

Sang Tian stubbornly raised her chin, “I won’t!” A pool of water swirled in her eyes, but it wouldn’t fall.

“Are you going to apologize or not? Do you want me to use the family law?!” The man had lost his patience.

The Bo family was a century-old family, the family law had been passed down from generation to generation since the Qing Dynasty, they had a set of methods for disciplining people, you wouldn’t be able to pass without shedding a layer of skin!

Qi Nuan fanned the flames, “Sang Tian’s personality is fierce and domineering, this time she pushed her down, if she’s not properly punished, she’ll definitely do it again next time. The Jiang family only has one daughter, Wantang, Mrs. Jiang treasures her like the apple of her eye, if the Jiang family finds out, it’s likely to affect the relationship between the Bo and Jiang families! Fifth Master, you must punish her well, lest she become lawless and cause you more trouble!”

Bo Si glanced at Qi Nuan.

He had no expression on his face, but it made Qi Nuan feel apprehensive, she took two steps back, not daring to say anything more.

Sang Tian remained unmoved, she was determined to stand her ground, “Whatever!”

“Are you really not afraid?!” Bo Si moved closer, his face was gloomy and terrifying.

Qi Nuan started to gloat.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiao Xiao pulled Sang Tian’s sleeve from behind, whispering, “Apologizing won’t kill you, a good man doesn’t eat the loss in front of him, just apologize to her, okay?”

No.

She would be miserable.

She wouldn’t!

Seeing Sang Tian raise her chin and remain silent, with a look of resignation, Xiao Xiao couldn’t do anything with this stubborn donkey, she sighed.

Seeing that the situation was at a stalemate, Jiang Wantang supported her forehead, walked towards Bo Si with the help of her bodyguard, and said kindly, “A Si, I’m fine, Tian Tian didn’t mean it, forget about the apology.”

Bo Si snorted, turned around and asked Jiang Wantang softly, “Are you okay? Does your head hurt?”

His voice was so gentle that it could melt into water, completely different from when he was scolding Sang Tian.

He took off his coat and covered Jiang Wantang with it. When he helped her up, Jiang Wantang stumbled and fell into his arms. Her knee was injured and she couldn’t stand straight. Bo Si picked her up horizontally, his movements were gentle, “I’ll take you to the hospital for a check-up.”

Ignoring Sang Tian’s gaze, Bo Si strode away, he stopped after taking two steps, turned his head and glanced at Sang Tian, “Stay at home and reflect! I’ll deal with you when I get back!”

Until the man’s figure disappeared into the night, Sang Tian didn’t move.

Qi Nuan lagged behind, like a victorious hen, she raised her neck and crossed her arms, her face full of pride, she mocked, “Rumor has it that Fifth Master Bo dotes on you, his niece, and treats you like his own niece. It turns out it’s nothing! Decades of being together can’t compare to his fiancée’s frown! Tsk tsk tsk, you just stay at home and wait, when Fifth Master Bo comes back, see how he deals with you!”

Xiao Xiao was so angry that she jumped up, pointing at Qi Nuan and saying “You, you, you” repeatedly, but she couldn’t say a word in rebuttal. After all, what she said was true, looking at Bo Si’s appearance, he really wouldn’t spare Sang Tian.

Xiao Xiao was worried, she was a nobody and couldn’t help Sang Tian, she could only worry.

Qi Nuan wasn’t satisfied, “From now on, be careful when you see me. Wantang is my best friend, you’ve all seen Fifth Master Bo’s attitude towards her. As long as she says a few good words about you to Fifth Master Bo, you’ll be in trouble! You’ll have a lot to suffer in the future!”
