"What are you doing?"
Xue Feng pulled Anning away and stood between An Jie and Anning.
"An Jie, have you lost your mind? Anning didn't provoke you."
Su Zhiqiang stopped Lin Anjie and glanced back at Anning: "Are you okay?"
Anning was also somewhat dazed.
Actually, she knew deep down that Lin Anjie had no intention of hitting her. However, Anning didn't understand why both Xue Feng and Su Zhiqiang seemed to think Lin Anjie wanted to hit her.
"I'm fine."
Anning said with a smile, shaking her head: "My sister doesn't have any bad intentions, she just wanted to pull me over."
Su Zhiqiang frowned: "You don't have to defend her, I know what kind of person she is."
Xue Feng didn't speak, but his expression clearly showed little regard for Lin Anjie.
If Lin Anjie was someone with a better temperament, the matter might have de-escalated by now.
But Lin Anjie wasn't easy-going, and besides, she was afraid of Su Zhiqiang and Anning getting in touch, and held a lot of resentful energy towards Xue Feng. So, when she saw that both Su Zhiqiang and Xue Feng were siding with Anning, she completely blew up.
"Su Zhiqiang, you're inhuman, you're just no good. If I knew you were like this, I would have never married you."
Lin Anjie yelled and reached out to tear at Su Zhiqiang.
Anning didn't move, and Xue Feng, afraid that Lin Anjie would be at a disadvantage, tried to intervene, but Anning held him back.
Anning shook her head at Xue Feng, whispering: "It's not easy to get involved in a couple's disputes, let's just wait and see."
Xue Feng thought for a moment and didn't move anymore.
Enraged, Su Zhiqiang blocked Lin Anjie: "Stop making a scene without reason."
"Making a scene without reason?"
Lin Anjie, provoked into laughter, sneered and cursed: "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking in your heart. You've always been fixated on Anning, trying to..."
"Sister, what are you talking about?"
Anning quickly intervened when she heard this: "Why bring me into your marital argument, what have I done to you?"
But as she reached out, Lin Anjie swung back with a slap.
Anning turned her head to dodge, but Xue Feng, who had been keeping an eye on Lin Anjie, stepped in to block it.
Seeing Xue Feng being so close to Anning, Lin Anjie felt even worse.
"Anning, you're really capable, aren't you? Cozying up to Xue Feng in public, and shamelessly trying to seduce your brother-in-law behind the scenes, and now acting all innocent in front of me, like some pure-hearted young girl..."
"Don't talk nonsense."
Su Zhiqiang, seeing Lin Anjie making wild accusations, got really angry and covered Lin Anjie's mouth.
"Hey, what is all this talk?"
Wang Min, who had been enjoying the commotion, came over with an ill-intentioned smile: "Such an exciting drama, what's going on? Could it really be like sister-in-law said, that big brother has something going on with his sister-in-law?"
At this, she burst into giggles, cackling like an old hen.
"What nonsense are you talking about, what's it to you?"
Su Zhiqiang glared fiercely at Wang Min, his look so menacing that Wang Min shrank back in fear.
Anning, however, looked at Lin Anjie, her face full of vulnerability and disbelief: "Sister, you're my own sister, you know better than anyone who I am... I can't believe you would think such things, how can you have such dirty thoughts? I'm in my senior year of high school, about to take the college entrance exams, I'm afraid there's not enough time every day for studying, how would I have the time to do what you're accusing me of? Moreover, since you and brother-in-law got married, apart from the night of your wedding when you had a fight and I came over, this is the very first time I've been to the Su family home."
As Anning spoke, tears fell from her eyes, and just at that moment, Lin Anping and Lin Anli had finished arguing with the Su Family and turned to see her, Lin Anping's heart ached extremely.
He felt some resentful energy towards Lin Anjie.
In his heart, he thought that if he had known Lin Anjie couldn't differentiate between good and bad, he wouldn't have gotten involved in her affairs. Let her bear the beatings and grievances, knowing her temper, who knows what trouble she might have stirred up, making the Su Family intolerant of her actions.
"Big sister."
Lin Anping came over to speak up for Anning: "Think about it with a conscience, where exactly did the second sister ever do you wrong? If you and your husband have a dispute and hold resentful energy, direct it at your husband, why drag second sister into this? Second sister is focused on her studies, she wants to go to college, she doesn't have any intention to date like you."
Lin Anjie was nearly driven mad with anger, she pointed at Lin Anping: "Fine, fine, everyone takes her side. I just knew it, she's a fox spirit, she's bewitched all of you."
This was getting more and more unlike real speech.
Not to mention Su Zhiqiang and Xue Feng, but just to speak of Lin Anping, he was Anning's own brother born of the same mother. Lin Anjie saying such things was really nonsensical ranting.
Anning's face was full of sadness and vulnerability, her body swaying slightly, tears steadily streaming down: "Lin Anjie, I always believed that my actions were without reproach, but I never expected you to defame me like this, fine, fine, today I'm the busybody. I shouldn't have come here, from now on, whatever happens to you, Lin Anjie, I will not interfere, I'll act as if I don't have a sister like you."
Having said this, Anning forcefully wiped away her tears and ran off.
As she ran, Lin Anping also ran out following her.
Lin Anjie's mouth curled into a mocking smile: "Humph, I knew you would do this, other than acting vulnerable and pitiful, what else can you do? Truly a White Lotus of this grand world."
Su Zhiqiang glared fiercely at Lin Anjie: "Have you had enough? If you've made enough trouble, then hurry back to your room."
Lin Anjie gritted her teeth: "What, feeling pity for her? Since you like her so much, why didn't you marry her in the first place, why marry me?"
Xue Feng stepped back several steps, seeing Lin Anjie causing trouble unreasonably, even heedlessly slandering Anning, her own sister, he could hardly believe it, and felt some disappointment.
In his heart, Lin Anjie was kind and beautiful, with a touch of naive romance, but the current Lin Anjie was like a shrew, no, even more malicious than a shrew.
The village shrews sometimes are unreasonable, but they still protect their own family members, but Lin Anjie was like a rabid dog, viciously biting anyone she encountered, even attacking Anning and An Ping viciously.
Xue Feng looked at Lin Anjie's twisted and ugly face, rubbed his eyes forcefully, and felt that he needed to reassess Lin Anjie.
Anning ran out from the Su Family's house and soon bumped into Lin Aiguo.
Lin Aiguo steadied Anning, while Wang Cuixhua with sharp eyes noticed Anning's red eyes and the tearstains on her face.
She was truly shocked: "Anning, what happened to you? Did the Su Family bully you?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Aiguo's face was filled with anger: "The Su Family really went too far, not only hitting my eldest daughter but also bullying the second."
Lin Aiguo grabbed Anning: "Come on, Dad will stand up for you."
An Ping ran over from behind panting.
"Dad, is second sister okay?"
Lin Aiguo glared at An Ping: "What have you done? You were with your second sister and yet let her be bullied, what use are you?"
Lin Anping gasped for breath, waved his hands anxiously: "No, it wasn't the Su Family who bullied her, it was eldest sister…"
"What on earth happened?"
Wang Cuixhua kept asking Anning impatiently.
Anning just shook her head.
Wang Cuixhua then looked towards Lin Anping.
Lin Anping swallowed and after a few gasps of air, he detailed the entire crazed outburst from Lin Anjie at the Su Family's place.
Initially, Wang Cuixhua did not believe it, but later Lin Anping's details were too exhaustive, even recounting the words Lin Anjie had used to curse, and since Anning did not interject, Wang Cuixhua eventually believed it.
"What... what has gotten into An Jie? She's not under some evil spell, is she? How could she do this, Anning is her own sister."
Lin Aiguo snorted coldly in anger: "There's nothing she wouldn't dare to do, even before the wedding she stole money from home and tried to frame Anning. Now, she's straightforwardly throwing dirt on Anning; her heart has turned completely black."
