The Magnificent Son-in-law

Chapter 512: Don't Be Fooled by Appearances


Finally, Lu Yao and Lin Jiaxuan couldn't hold it in any longer.

The little girl had always been optimistic and positive, showing such a vulnerable side was a first for everyone.

Although her prank made everyone worry for nothing, it didn't cause any serious consequences after all.

"Shihan, stop crying, we forgive you." Lu Yao said sympathetically and hugged the little girl.

"Sister Lu Yao, thank you for forgiving me, but everyone else still won't, they're ignoring me, I don't want to live anymore!"

The little girl said in a muffled voice.

Lin Jiaxuan chimed in, "Who said no one is talking to you? I forgive you too, Sister Shihan, get up and have something to eat."

Lin Zhiyan sighed, stood up, and walked over.

Clearly the little girl was the one who played the prank at first, but now the three of them felt full of guilt, as if they had done something wrong.

"Alright, let's fill up our stomachs first." Lin Zhiyan said.

The little girl stubbornly replied, "Sister Zhiyan, if you don't forgive me, I won't get up!"

This sounded as if the little girl was kneeling on the ground, which made Lin Zhiyan unable to hold back her laughter and softened her tone, "Okay okay, no one's blaming you, I forgive you, can you stand up now?"

"But Old Zhao hasn't said anything yet." The little girl reminded.

"Tsk!" Zhao Guo'an put on airs, "If an apology worked, then... I forgive you!"

After saying this, he couldn't help but feel like crying, what kind of world is this.

Just now, he intended to give the little girl a hard time, but before he could even finish a sentence, he felt a chill envelop him.

Lu Yao, Lin Zhiyan, Lin Jiaxuan, all three of them looked at him as if to say: If you choose not to forgive, prepare yourself for death!

Hence, the always "strong-willed" Old Zhao, naturally "firmly" chose to forgive.

Up until now, only Su Yuzhuo and Xiao Feng hadn't explicitly said the words of forgiveness.

Su Yuzhuo obviously didn't plan to hold anything against, without waiting for the little girl to speak, he said, "If you must hear me say forgive before you'll get up to eat, then I forgive you."

"Is that good enough?" Lin Zhiyan asked the little girl.

The little girl shook her head: "Still missing brother Xiao Feng."

Everyone turned their eyes to Xiao Feng.

"Women, huh, your stance is too unstable..." Xiao Feng said with a tone of lamentation.

"Don't include me in that, okay?" Zhao Guo'an said displeased.

Xiao Feng immediately retorted, "Being intimidated into taking back your words with just one look, you're worse than a woman."

"..." Zhao Guo'an.

Feeling that you weren't the one being threatened!

"Enough!" Lin Jiaxuan snapped with a soft shout, questioning, "Think with your conscience, how does Sister Shihan usually treat you?

Now it's just a trivial matter and you're holding on to it, being petty, and even making sarcastic remarks, do you even have a heart?"

"Pfft!" Xiao Feng burst out laughing: "I was just trying to remind you to see through the phenomena to the essence when looking at things, don't be deceived by the superficial appearance.

Don't understand?

Alright then, I forgive her, let her get up."

Lin Zhiyan and others had to temporarily give up arguing with Xiao Feng and instead persuaded the little girl to get up and eat.

"Um... can everyone promise me one condition?" The little girl said weakly.

"What condition?"

"It's just... how should I say this... it's just that after I get up later, please don't look at my face, okay?" The little girl explained, "Because I just cried, I must not look good."

Everyone was speechless for a moment but still agreed.

The little girl then stood up, but covered her face with both hands, leaving a gap only at the eyes: "Oh, don't look, I'm fine, but my eyes must be swollen."

Lin Zhiyan observed for a moment, frowning, "No, now I suspect, you're deceiving us again."

"How could that be?" The little girl immediately said, "Sister Zhiyan, you have too much imagination."

"Then put down your hands and let me see." Lin Zhiyan said expressionlessly.

The little girl politely declined, "This isn't good, right, girls are very concerned about their image..."

Lin Zhiyan exchanged a glance with Lu Yao and Lin Jiaxuan, and then raised three fingers to count down.

When the last finger dropped, the three of them lunged forward, one grabbing her from behind, and the other two pulling down the little girl's hands.

But they saw the little girl's face was spotless, not to mention red eyes, there wasn't even a trace of tears.

At this moment, the three finally understood what Xiao Feng meant by "don't be deceived by the superficial appearance."

"Alright then, pulling pranks one after another, are you addicted?" Lin Zhiyan said angrily.

"No no, it's not like that, I tried very hard to make myself cry, but just couldn't.

I think, you can't judge the sincerity of an apology by how bad the crying looks.

Even though my tears didn't fall, my heart is very sincere, believe me, see, my sincere eyes!"

Saying that, she blinked, but it looked like she was being cute.

The three girls exchanged a glance and in perfect harmony began to implement the punishment on the little girl.

Of course they wouldn't actually hit her, but tickling was allowed.

"Hahaha! I... I was wrong! Hahaha..."

For a moment, the little girl's laughter and pleas for forgiveness mixed together, looking completely like they were playing around.

Fujiwara Keiaki glanced at his indifferent lady and sighed in his heart, this kind of personality is asking for trouble!

Zhao Guo'an, as one of the "victims," like Su Yuzhuo, didn't join the "Avengers" made up of Lin Zhiyan and the others.

Mainly out of fear, Zhao Guo'an didn't need to think to know that if he really joined in, even without Xiao Feng lifting a finger, Lin Zhiyan and Lin Jiaxuan, along with Lu Yao, would beat him into a pulp.

At this thought, Zhao Guo'an became even more depressed.

No!

He couldn't let himself be so embarrassed any longer.

He had to transform grief into strength, learn a few combat techniques properly after going out, always being oppressed by a few women, this is ridiculous.

And just as Zhao Guo'an made up his mind, a cry for help suddenly came from ahead: "Help! Help!"

The volume of the voice was very low, seemingly from some distance away.

But it was clear from the speaker's tone that they were very agitated, shouting at the top of their lungs, afraid no one would hear.

The little girl and the others immediately quieted down, perked up their ears to confirm if the cry they just heard really existed.

"Help! Help!"

"Help! Help!"

Although the volume was still very low, it was certain that someone was indeed calling for help.

Everyone looked at Xiao Feng, waiting for him to give instructions.

Xiao Feng stood up, looked at the little girl, and said, "Don't rush, eat something first, then continue to rest, and move on after you've had enough rest."
