Is it inconvenient at home?
Is this a way to prevent him from going upstairs?
Zhan Zhicheng immediately felt unhappy.
In the past, when she saw him, even if Lin Ya was angry at him for abandoning her, she was still polite to him. She even showed signs of inferiority and a desire to reconcile.
But today, when she looked at him, there was only hatred and distance.
Completely different from before.
"Is this Ms. Lin's way of treating guests? Isn't that too rude?" Wang Ke scoffed.
As expected of a village woman from the countryside, she had no manners at all.
Even if they had an enmity, they should at least put on a show of politeness.
Lin Ya's expression changed. In front of the condescending Wang Ke, although she clenched her fists, telling herself not to lose her spirit and not to fear them anymore, her face still turned pale. Fortunately, she remembered what Xiao Jun had told her and gritted her teeth.
"You are not guests I invited, so I don't need to treat you with any hospitality. If you have something to say, just say it directly."
Wang Ke felt like her face had been slapped.
The one who slapped her was a village woman from the countryside whom she looked down upon.
Zhan Zhicheng was somewhat surprised. Lin Ya, who usually let people push her around, actually dared to retort today.
He coldly ordered, "Let's talk at your house."
In the past, no matter what he said, Lin Ya would not refuse, and she treated his words as sacred decrees.
He believed that Lin Ya would still be like this now.
After all, he was confident that no one understood Lin Ya better than him; she was all about him in her heart.
Lin Ya was about to agree when she suddenly saw the new shoes she was wearing. Xiao Jun had bought them for her, saying they were the latest style of the year.
Thinking of Xiao Jun, she thought of herself over the years and the heartlessness of the man in front of her.
She said with a cold face, "No need. Let's talk here."
Wang Ke almost blurted out an insult, saying she was ungrateful!
Zhan Zhicheng's face darkened. How dare she refuse! Wasn't she afraid of angering him?
Who gave her the courage?
"If you don't want to talk, then don't bother. I have to go back and cook." Lin Ya said coldly, seeing them still posturing.
Without waiting for their response, she turned and left with a cold expression.
She suddenly realized that Zhan Zhicheng seemed to be completely unimportant in her heart anymore.
And she didn't care at all what they thought. Speaking her mind made her feel much more relaxed.
"Wait!" Zhan Zhicheng immediately called out to Lin Ya.
Wang Ke strode past and blocked Lin Ya's path.
Lin Ya was not afraid. This was in a residential complex, with so many eyes watching. Zhan Zhicheng and Wang Ke could not do anything to her.
Even if they really wanted to do something to her, what was there to be afraid of?
At worst, it would be a mutual destruction.
"I know why you've come. Are you here to smear Xiao Jun's name? It's your poor upbringing that led your daughter to embarrass herself in public and have it filmed. If I were you, I would reflect on myself instead of coming here to be arrogant. I'm sorry, but I don't want to say too much to you. Every word I say reminds me of the inappropriate video I just watched."
After Lin Ya finished speaking in one breath, she was a little surprised herself.
Only then did she remember that when she was young, she was not a weak person. If someone bullied her, she would definitely fight back. When did she become so cowardly, timid, insecure, and hesitant?
It was as if someone had suddenly awakened her.
Looking at the two people in front of her, her gaze became even more fearless.
"You! What nonsense are you spouting? Who gave you the courage?" Wang Ke was furious and raised her hand as if to slap her.
Zhan Zhicheng also blurted out, "Lin Ya, are you crazy?!"
He also raised his hand.
The two of them almost attacked from both sides.
Lin Ya froze, almost forgetting to dodge.
She just stared at them with wide eyes.
At the critical moment.
Someone grabbed their hands.
No one saw how the newcomer acted, but two slaps were heard.
Zhan Zhicheng and Wang Ke covered their faces.
"Ah!"
Seeing Zhan Xiao Jun, who suddenly came to protect her, Lin Ya immediately grabbed Zhan Xiao Jun's hand and asked anxiously, "Does it hurt!"
She immediately blamed herself.
Why had she frozen just now? If she had dodged, Xiao Jun wouldn't have had to intervene!
Zhan Xiao Jun held Lin Ya's hand and said, "I'm fine, Mom."
"It's good that you're fine, it's good that you're fine."
Hearing their mother and daughter's words, the beaten Zhan Zhicheng and Wang Ke were almost spitting blood from anger!
They were the ones in pain!
How dare Zhan Xiao Jun hit them!
"Xiao Jun, who taught you to treat your father like this? You even hit your father, do you have any upbringing?" Zhan Zhicheng said angrily, raising his hand to hit Zhan Xiao Jun.
Last time at home, Zhan Xiao Jun had hit him, and today she had done it again.
It was simply crushing his dignity into the ground.
"Yes, Zhan Xiao Jun, you've gone too far! You have no manners or rules!" Wang Ke gritted her teeth in anger.
"Speaking of upbringing, I think you should ask yourself, what right do you have to scold my daughter? Take care of your own daughter and stay away from us!"
"And Zhan Zhicheng, I was really blind back then. I never want to see you again in this life. Get lost!"
Lin Ya shielded Zhan Xiao Jun behind her.
She wanted to protect her daughter.
Seeing the usually meek Lin Ya protect her so desperately, Zhan Xiao Jun's red lips curved upwards. Lin Ya had changed a lot, which was good!
After she left this world, the transformed Lin Ya would be able to face all sorts of people in this world without fear.
No one could easily manipulate or hurt her again.
Zhan Zhicheng couldn't believe it. "What did you say? Lin Ya, you dare to chase me away? Do you believe that from now on, I won't give you a second glance? Your life or death has nothing to do with me!"
The Lin Ya who used to revolve around him, not listening to him was one thing, but now she even dared to angrily chase him away!
"Lin Ya, you lunatic, and the daughter you raised is also an ill-mannered lunatic!" Wang Ke felt her cheeks burning with pain.
This was the first time anyone had slapped her!
Lin Ya trembled as she raised her hand and slapped Wang Ke, "You have no right to scold my daughter!"
Zhan Xiao Jun quietly said to Lin Ya, "Mom, I'm hungry. I want to eat the food you made. Could you go upstairs first?"
"I happen to have some things I want to say to them. Mom, don't worry, I won't be at a disadvantage."
Lin Ya clearly felt that her emotions were fluctuating too much and she was feeling a little unwell. Seeing Xiao Jun's resilient gaze, she knew that Xiao Jun would not be at a disadvantage, and Xiao Jun must have something to say to them. So she nodded and said, "Okay, call Mom if anything happens."
After Lin Ya went upstairs, Zhan Xiao Jun looked at Zhan Zhicheng and Wang Ke, whose eyes were spitting fire, wanting to kill her.
She lowered her head and opened her phone, tapping with her fingertips.
Then she played a video for the two of them.
