The door had been left ajar to begin with .
The two lads were having fun in the snow . As the snow piled up, they, as well as their uncle, decided to split into teams for a snowball fight . Little Yichen was leading the game when his younger brother clamored for their father to join in as well . The kid wanted to form a team with him, while his older twin could partner with their uncle .
This suited Gong Jie just fine and egged his brother-in-law on .
Mu Yazhe did not join them at first but agreed subsequently . He returned to the house for a pair of gloves so that he could join their snowball fight when he chanced upon the mother-daughter trio badmouthing his wife .
He had excellent hearing and could pick up Yun Qingmiao’s jealous grumbling when he passed by the door . That made him stop in his tracks and put in a strong rebuttal on behalf of his wife in front of them .
The three saw him standing at the door, sizing them up coldly with his eyes . His disgust was evident in this instance .
Meanwhile, the trio, especially the older of the sisters, looked sheepish when they realized that the man had heard their conversation .
She looked nervously at him . Her shoulders retracted in jittery as her face flushed with shame .
“Brother-in-law, w-when did you step in?” The lady hurriedly hid behind her mother out of guilt . She did not know how much of her bitter grumbling he had heard .
The man pursed his thin lips frigidly . He then approached them slowly and halted about three to four meters away . “I don’t like anyone criticizing my wife behind our backs, even if they are close relations . You gossipers are detestable . ”
Somehow or another, these words sounded especially mocking and critical coming from his mouth . The older girl was overwhelmed by his menacing presence and shook a little, almost stumbling in the process .
“Brother-in-law, you’re going to spoil our cousin if you continue to be so good to her . I know that we shouldn’t be criticizing her, but she’s the one who started—”
“It’s not for you to comment on the way I treat her!” The man had a look of utter revulsion as he gave them an eviction order . “This place doesn’t welcome you all . Get lost now!”
“Brother-in-law—”
“Shut up!” His frosty gaze and firm tone brooked no opposition .
The older of the two sisters managed to curb in her defiant words which had almost burst forth from her mouth . After taking a deep breath, she looked in the kitchen’s direction again . This was when a surge of courage welled up in her . It might be her extreme jealousy or great unhappiness that made her express her begrudging thoughts there and then . “It’s so unfair! What right did she have to put herself above us?! What’s so good about her that she can enjoy a princess-treatment, while we aren’t even allowed to protest?! Besides, I didn’t say anything wrong, did I?! In what way is she better than us?! She gave birth to children at eighteen without marrying anyone! What a loose girl! What’s there to show off for a whore like her?!”
SMACK!
With a terrifying expression, the man raised his palm and slapped her face .
In his view, a man should never hit a woman . He considered those men as losers, but when Yun Qingmiao let loose those ugly words, he was so upset that he unconsciously retaliated with a slap .
He would not let anyone describe his woman with such ugly terms!
