Chapter 158 - Sister Bullied Me
Xiao Hua closed the door shut without even looking back, he had listened enough of his cousin's bull**. Everything was for him? Was that a joke? If it was he wasn't going to laugh at all! He kept himself pure all along to enjoy a decent and respectable lifestyle, there was no way he was going to do something so lowly as selling his body, if he did something like that then his daddy might roll out of his grave in shame. He will get out of this place and live the life that he deserves! Xiao Hua went inside his room ignoring the shouts and screams of his cousin, not letting him eat? Fine, then he won't eat, lets's see how long his cousin would be able to act like that in front of him. Once he successfully leaves this place, he will ruin everything that his cousin was proud of, though he thought it was a pity to close this tavern that was his mother's dream business, he knew his mother would agree with him if she knew to what level his cousin had degraded her hard work.
"Hua Hua? You are back?
" A mer walked out from inside of the room, he was carrying a tray with a bowl filled with warm water that was still steaming
"it's good that you are back, Hanjin's condition once again deteriorated, he vomited everything he ate and fell unconscious after that, I just wiped him clean, why don't you see him? His mood is not good, I am afraid his health might be affected if he keeps acting like this
"
Xiao Hua nodded and went further inside his chambers, brushing open the beads curtain he walked past the mer who was lying on the bed, groaning while clutching his big belly
" I heard that you are not feeling well, didn't you take your medicine Hanjing? Didn't the doctor tell you that the fetus is unstable you should eat properly and keep taking your medicines on time? Look now you got sick, how will you get better if you don't take care of yourself properly?
"
The mer called Hanjing was six months pregnant but his belly was so big that he looked like he was several months pregnant, he clutched his belly and gave Xiao Hua a self-deprecating smile,
" what's the point of getting better? Hua Hua, you are wasting your time. Just leave me be, even if I manage to keep my life and the child, nothing good will happen. My child has to grow in a place like this, and when he grows up the tavern mistress will force him to sell himself too, what's the point of such a life? Isn't it better for him to be buried with me?
"
Xiao Hua clenched his fists so hard that his fingernails dug into his skin, this mer unlike him didn't have a daddy who protected him in his last moments, His cousin had forced this mer to sell his body, pushing him in a corner until he agreed to become a concubine of a rich mistress. However, that rich mistress proved to be fickle and in just a few months grew bored of Hanjing and sent him back with a two months pregnant belly. What exactly were they? a pretty toy that anyone could pick up anytime they want and then throw them away when they got tired of them?
He bent forward and held Hanjin's frail and sickly hand in his
" Don't worry your child will never be born in a place like this
" Xiao Hua promised though he couldn't tell Hanjing about Yu Dong yet, the contract wasn't signed yet, he didn't want to give Hanjing any false hope then ruthlessly snatching it back. However, he swore that if he really redeemed himself tomorrow, he will definitely have his cousin pay for what she did to Hanjing and many others like him. Didn't she like riches? He will have her beg for food one day just you wait!

Yu Dong sneezed rubbing her nose she silently pondered whether her body was getting weak or someone was talking and about her behind her back, fortunately, she had just finished boiling water on the stove, she will wash her feet in the hot water and then catch some sleep.
" Eldest sister!
" Yu Mai who has been busy these days with Lang Ru burst inside the kitchen with an angry pout decorating his face, he was so upset that his fair have turned red and his eyes were glistening with tears. Yu Dong was instantly startled , she didnt know what happened but she knew that something serious must have happened becuase Yu Mai wasnt a boy who cried for absolutely no reason, she crouched down and hurriedly asked
" what's the matter who bullied you? Did Ruru say something to you?
"
" Ruru didn't bully me! She is my best friend. Elder sister is not allowed to talk bad about her
" Yu Mai was extremely protective of Lang Ru. She was his only friend and the only person around his age who was willing to play with him without calling him ' crazy or ' dull'. Yu Mia feared that if Lang Ru got angry then he might lose the only friend that he has, which was why he was willing to go against Yu Dong as well.
Lang Ru: Childhood Sweetheart was the best!
Yu Dong:
"….
" Okay you brat, I can see that your wings are getting hard huh. She lifted her hand and lightly knocked on Yu Mai's head before speaking in a teasing voice
" okay so Ruru is the best, alright. If she didn't bully you who did? You are getting angry at your sister like she is the one who bullied you
"
Yu Dong was only teasing him jokingly but to her surprise, Yu Mai nodded his head at once. Looking rather serious, he pointed at her in dire malediction
" That's right, sister is the one who bullied me!
"
Yu Dong
"….
" No. No. Wait.. when did this happen?
