Mr. and Mrs. Jiang, having heard the panic in their inner voices, hurried over. "..."
Jiang Nanshu bumped into Mrs. Jiang full on. Mrs. Jiang reacted quickly, steadying Jiang Nanshu. "Nannan, what happened?"
"My third brother wants to kill me!" Jiang Nanshu hid directly behind Mrs. Jiang.
[With so many people here, I don’t believe you dare to go through with it!]
Seeing the knife in Jian Hemian’s hand, Mrs. Jiang comfortingly patted Jiang Nanshu’s hand and scolded with a frown, "Ah Mian, put the knife down, you’re scaring your sister."
She remembered how a year ago, Hemian’s hand was accidentally broken by Jiang Nanshu with a vase... and now this son was about to take a knife to her...
This is bad...
She broke out in a cold sweat.
She stepped in front of Jiang Nanshu slightly, thinking that if he wanted to use a knife on his sister, surely, he couldn’t include his own mother in the threat, could he?
Mrs. Jiang nudged Mr. Jiang.
Mr. Jiang came to his senses, with a stern face, he said, "Ah Mian, playing with knives is forbidden at home, now put it away."
Hemian’s gaze locked directly onto Jiang Nanshu’s face, a smile curling at his lips. "I was just joking with my sister. I’m peeling an apple. Would you like one?"
Jiang Nanshu appeared timid. "How could I dare to eat the apple peeled by Third Brother? I know you still resent me for breaking your hand, but I didn’t mean it. How could I have known your hand was so fragile?"
[Rule number one of seeking death: Keep rubbing salt into the wound and he will definitely break! Hee hee.]
Mr. and Mrs. Jiang: "..."
Silly girl, stop talking.
Hemian really was getting angry.
His hands were more important than anything to him.
But as soon as he heard Jiang Nanshu’s inner voice, that irritation dissipated instantly. Provoke him on purpose? He wasn’t as childish as she was.
Psychologically, Hemian was quite fascinated by the fact that he could hear his sister’s inner voice, which was truly baffling, so he had come home during his time off this week.
Thus, the corner of his mouth quirked up into a smile. "A year has passed, and I no longer bear a grudge for that. You don’t think I’m that petty, do you?"
Jiang Nanshu’s lips quivered, tears welling up in her eyes. "If you weren’t holding a grudge, then why did you say you wanted to stab me to death when I went to visit you in your lab? Indeed, for someone as horrendous as me, how do I deserve to live? Maybe I should hang myself at the front door tomorrow."
Mr. and Mrs. Jiang: "..."
We can’t have that!
[Hey, keep pretending, how could you ever outsmart me, disgusting.]
Hemian’s lips straightened, and his expression turned a few degrees colder, as he applied more force to the apple peeling.
Seeing all the apple peels scattered on the ground, Mr. and Mrs. Jiang felt their hearts race.
Thus, Mr. Jiang quickly tried to smooth things over. "Nannan, that’s just your Third Brother joking with you. He said he doesn’t hold a grudge, so he meanst it. You should get along peacefully from now on, okay?"
Jiang Nanshu obediently nodded. "Got it, I’ll listen to Mom and Dad."
Mr. and Mrs. Jiang heaved a sigh of relief.
[Tss, as if I’d bother arguing with someone who’s about to be crippled, karma will take care of it.]
Their sense of relief was short-lived, and the tension returned.
Mrs. Jiang’s eyes filled with anxiety as she was about to ask why Hemian’s hand would break.
Mr. Jiang fiercely pulled her back, and Mrs. Jiang’s complexion soured as she came back to her senses, her mouth firmly shut.
Mr. Jiang cleared his throat slightly. "Now, get along with your Third Brother. He doesn’t come home often, don’t let your sibling bond grow cold." ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
With that, he nudged Jiang Nanshu out toward Hemian.
Hemian grabbed her, smiling faintly. "Caught you. Let’s see how you’re going to dodge now."
Jiang Nanshu: "..."
