Chapter 853: Crying

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yin Yi wanted to force her way out. She said angrily, “Who do you think you are? How dare you lock me up? Get lost!”

The old servant smiled mockingly as she raised her voice and said, “Oh, Second Young Miss, please calm down. Please don’t embarrass me like you did yourself…”

Yin Yi did not care about the old servant’s derisive words at this moment and tried to leave the room. Her strength was naturally stronger than that of the old servant, and she was also using all her strength to force her way out. Just as she was about to succeed, she heard a stern voice.

“Yin Yi!”

Yin Yi paused. She had never heard her mother speak to her in such a stern manner in all her life.

Guan Ning pulled Yin Yi over and slapped Yin Yi.

Yin Yi was dumbstruck.

The old servant was stunned as well.

The madams and misses of the Yin family always tried to be elegant and lady-like. Regardless of their thoughts, their movements, manner of speech, and their etiquettes were all dignified. Among all of them, Guan Ning had always been the most dignified. This also annoyed Qin Shuang and her daughter-in-law the most. No matter what, they could not emulate Guan Ning’s elegance and grace that seemed etched on her bones. Even Yin Yang did not bother picking on Guan Ning because her actions were always impeccable. However, at this moment, Guan Ning’s slap gave her an imposing air that she never had before.

Yin Yi called out as she began to cry, “Mom…”

Guan Ning looked at the old servant and said calmly, “I’m going to discipline Yin Yi. Are you going to stay here?”

The old servant’s mocking smile vanished, and she carefully lowered her head. After that, she stepped back and closed the door.

Yin Yi cried loudly. She held her cheek as she said through her tears, “You hit me! You actually hit me!”

Yin Yi cried as though she had suffered a great injustice.

Guan Ning was completely unmoved even if the person in front of her was her daughter whom she had personally raised. It seemed like she had spoiled her daughter so much that up until now, her daughter still did not know what she had done wrong. She could not help but sigh inwardly. Each subsequent generation was getting worse and worse. Her daughter was not even worthy to carry Guan Tang’s shoes in terms of scheming.

Guan Ning waited until Yin Yi’s tears dried up.

When Yin Yi saw her mother looking at her silently with no intention to comfort her or help her, she became timid as well.

Guan Ning said coldly, “Apart from crying, apart from acting tough, what else do you know how to do?”

Yin Yi began to cry in shame again.

“Guan Tang has done such terrible things, and yet, she’s still alive and trying hard to find a way out for herself. You, on the other hand, are exposing all your shortcomings. Is your brain filled with mush? What are you doing? What have you been doing? What can you do?”

“Ning Dong was your boyfriend of choice. Didn’t you confirm it yourself? Now that we acknowledged him, you kicked up a fuss. Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you’re the Second Young Miss of the Yin family? You still don’t understand it up until now? In this family, the person who can do whatever she wants is the Eldest Young Miss, not you! Do I have to say before you’re willing to face it?” Guan Ning said, feeling as though her heart was being pricked by needles. She did not understand how she, someone who was strong and smart all her life, raised such a disappointing daughter. On the other hand, Guan Tang, and even Yin Jia, were more like her.

Yin Yi seemed to regain her senses at this moment and cried out, “When did I choose him? We were just acting so all of you wouldn’t interfere with me pursuing Mu Chen. How can he compare to Mu Chen? He’s not even worthy of carrying Mu Chen’s shoes! Is Ning Dong worthy of marrying me?”

Guan Ning really could not endure it anymore when she looked at her arrogant daughter. She said, “Do you really think you’re that great?”
