“Yuqin, now
that there are nothing else for you to worry about around the house, you should
focus on cultivating again. At least to protect yourself if not for us.”
“Ye,
I understand. I will pick up cultivating again as soon as sister Yujie and her
family takes off!”
Upon the
mentioning of Luo Yuqie, Cheng Biyuan frowned and a strong look of disgruntlement
appeared on him. Even though Tian Fushang showed up tonight with him, when it
came down to it, he didn’t join in the fight at all. He was a martial
spiritualist, but he was so scared that he didn’t make any move at all.
“Ye…”
Luo Yuqie paused for a second and nodded silently before she said to him, “Ye,
I know that sister Yujie can be a little mean and frugal, but she is still my
sister after all, now that she is here, I ….”
“Yuqin, you
must understand that this is our home, not your family home of Luo’s. I
couldn’t care less how she used to be, nor is it my place to. But now she was
here plotting against our possession, plotting against Xiao Xiao, I wouldn’t
agree to it. Don’t forget, everything we have today, Xiao Xiao brought it all
for us. Are you saying that just because she is your sister, we should just let
her rob us blind?”
“Ye,
of course that’s not what I meant….”
“Of course
it is. Yuqie, sometimes you can be so naรฏve…”
Cheng
Biyuan’s face turned cold and he asked directly, “Did she ask you about the
mystical water and mystical beasts? Did she complain to you about the hardship
that her family faces, and asked you for help? Has she told you how great Xiao
Xiao is in front of you, and how great her sons are? Has she told you to have
Xiao Xiao go hang out with them, or to go visit their place?”
“Well….” Of
course she did, more or less every day. Mrs. Cheng was instantly speechless.
Looking at
her, Cheng Biyuan said with disgust, “How are the two useless sons remotely
good enough for our Xiao Xiao? You… sometimes I don’t even know what to say.”
“……”
“We should
befriend those who would only come when they have something to gain, and we
never see when there aren’t. Remember, Yuqin, just because you are nice to
someone doesn’t mean they will reciprocate. In fact, the better you are to
them, the more they think of you as a fool. You have a pretty good idea what
kind of a character your sister is. Right now you are a complete fool in
others’ eyes!”
“Ye,
I just don’t want others to gossip about us behind our back any more. We have
already been shamed for over ten years. I really don’t want it to continue,
that’s why we….”
“Yuqin, you
are wrong. Remember, in this world, there’s only one way to earn respect – to
be powerful. As long as I am the most powerful, everybody will respect me.
Otherwise, it doesn’t matter how nice you are, so what? Do you still not get
that?”
“…….”
“Spend some
time, think it over. How do we respond to certain people. These so-called
relatives wouldn’t be with us for life. The only ones that will be by our sides
are our children.”
Mrs. Cheng
did not speak again for the rest of the night. She sat and thought about the
entire conversation all night long!
The next
day, Cheng Xiao Xiao was not seen until it was noon time.
The Tian’s
had been waiting in the main residence’s living room since early morning. Their
purpose was, naturally, to see Cheng Xiao Xiao. Mrs. Cheng didn’t want others
to disturb her daughter’s rest so she just pretended she didn’t notice Luo
Yujie’s subtle hints.

Thank you
ReplyDeleteThank you for the translation, but please hire an editor. You make a lot of elementary school level mistakes. A native English speaker would be able to spot these in a second and fix them for you. Would bring your translation grade from a C- to a B+ at least.
ReplyDeleteAnd precisely how much should I offer this editor?
DeleteThat's up to you and the editor, of course. Silly to ask me.
DeleteOh, I thought perhaps you'd have insight as to how I can fund this editor.
DeleteNope. I just know that it needs editing.
DeleteBoy, what I wouldn't pay to bring my work from a C- to a B+... Kind of a toss up between paying out of my own pocket or a cut of my paltry income from Adsense...
DeleteGood luck! :D
DeleteIs this the first translated novel you've read? This translation is way better than most that I've muddled through. I also haven't noticed that many mistakes, maybe a spelling error here or a typo there but it isn't unreadable.
DeleteI'm sure if you pointed out specific parts where there is an error, the translator, who took a lot of their time to do this for free, would be happy to fix it.
Thank you for the chapter. Its nice to see someone telling the mom to really think about what is important, family or reputation. Thumbs up to the dad!
Thank you, Unknown-san. Mucho gracias. =D
DeleteSo rude. Why don't you offer free hand to be her editor?
DeleteThanks for the chapter ๐๐ป♀️๐๐ป♀️๐๐ป♀️
ReplyDeleteThank god, someone told this mother. She's going to be a weak link if this continues, weaker than Little Lan.
