Chapter 1697 - 1697: Lies and deception
“Are you alright?” Village Head Gu asked as she looked at Ding Nuannuan. Her voice was soft and waxy as if she was worried that raising her voice even a notch would make Ding Nuannuan scared.
She had just finished asking when the children who were standing protectively around Ding Nuannuan like they were some sort of little guardians, exploded.
“It’s Auntie Yu! She is the one who scolded Sister Nuan Nuan!”
“She is really bad!”
“How can she scold Sister Nuan Nuan?”
“This is really too much!”
The children complained as if they had suffered the greatest injustice. If Yu Dong was not the one who was involved in this matter, she would have thought that they were talking about some other incident that took place.
It started off with the truth but by now one of the children was telling a thrilling tale where Yu Dong had chased after them with a dagger in her hands and had scared them off.
And it was them, who somehow managed to protect Ding Nuan Nuan and saved their lives as well.
These actions reminded Yu Dong of a dating show. If she was not incorrect, the men and women in that dating show also told far-fetched stories. One of them told about how her ex-boyfriend sent a vicious mutated dog after her— as he had wanted to kill her.
But when the said dog was investigated it turned out that it was just a mutated pomeranian and the bite that she spoke of was nothing but a small nibble.
It was a funny show and the situation that she was in at the moment was also rather funny.
However, it became even more amusing when Village Head Gu turned and rounded at Yu Dong as if she had done some great personal harm towards her.
“What is the meaning of this, Miss Yu?” Village Head Gu asked with an annoyed expression. “How can you bully a young girl Nuan Nuan, she is so good and she has never done anything to bring any harm to you. So why were you bullying her? As a grown-up woman don’t you think that it is a tad bit too much of you?”
Yu Dong was amused by the things that Village Head Gu was saying. However, she took a step back as the woman was smelling too much and the damage to her life force was higher than the children. It seemed like Ding Nuan Nuan knew how to pick and choose.
“I will answer that question but first you need to answer me, Village Head Gu,” said Yu Dong as she glanced at the army of Nuan Nuan protectors. “Why did these kids bully my brother? If I am not wrong then my brother has treated them really well and yet they called him Jinx and broom star.”
“Is this how one should act towards someone who had only helped you without asking for anything in return,” Yu Dong then lowered her gaze and started counting the debts off, “Little Nu, you owe Mai at least three taels of silver. When your grandmother was seriously ill, you came to our house and begged Mai who lent you the money.”
“Little Liu, you owe us two old hens and five silver taels.”
“Little Hao, your father and you owe us ten taels of silver.”
On and on Yu Dong went until the children were shivering and went pale in faces. Once she was done speaking, Yu Dong smiled satisfactorily and said, “Calling someone who had helped you— my, you have taught me how to be ungrateful at another level.”
Her words caused the children to flush red in shame. They wanted to say something but couldn’t in the end, they lowered their heads and said nothing.
When Ding Nuan Nuan saw that no one was speaking, she cursed them for being useless. She said to Big Yu, “Do something. If this goes on then I will be pushed into one corner.”
Big Yu frowned. She looked at Yu Dong who remained unaffected and then fed more of her yin energy to Village Head Gu.
Yu Dong who stood in front of Village Head Gu noticed the flicker of negative energy floating towards the woman in front of her. Her eyebrows raised as she looked at Village Head Gu, Yu Dong wanted to see just what Ding Nuan Nuan was trying to do and a second later, she heard Village Head Gu burst—
“Madam Yu, I know that you have all the money in the world but why are you bullying little kids!”
“I am merely asking for the money back,” Yu Dong coolly replied. “In what world, asking for my own money back is bullying kids? They called my brother names, am I supposed to listen quietly?”
“That…”
Ding Nuan Nuan was stunned when she heard Yu Dong’s words, she couldn’t help but say to Big Yu, “Why is her momentum not slowing down? She is terrifying.”
“Her life force is too strong,” replied Big Yu as she looked at the golden aura around Yu Dong and licked her lips greedily. “It seems like she is born with strong luck.” If she could have this life force then she would get strong enough to possess a human.
Maybe then she could force this imposter out of her body and take over her body. Then she would become the master of all that wealth and even teach those bastards a lesson.
How dare they ge frivolous with another woman! Even if it was her own body, she knew that the mer husbands knew that it was not her and yet they willingly went to bed with this woman.
And Xiao Hua—that fucking son of a bastard. He was so high and mighty when she asked him to accept her but he had refused.
But for this imposter, he was willing to shed his clothes and let her have his way with him.
Big Yu clenched her jaw, she would make them all regret treating her like this.
