267 Old Master Cui Is Angry
As expected, Cui Ya had no intention of repenting when she heard this. Instead, she pointed in Gu Man’s direction angrily and cursed.
“Cui Ya, if you keep doing this, Mommy will be angry.”
“Mom, why are you apologizing to this outsider? We’re the ones from the Cui Family. Her surname isn’t Cui.”
One was playing good cop, the other was playing bad cop. Their acting was not bad, but they had misunderstood her relationship with Old Master Cui from the beginning. It would only make Old Master Cui hate them even more.
As expected, as they finished speaking, Old Master Cui’s expression became even more serious and embarra.s.sed.
He took a deep breath and the aura around him became serious.
“Is this what the Cui Family taught you? To slander others without understanding things?”
Before the two of them could retort, Old Master Cui interrupted them and spoke.
“Since you don’t realize your mistake, stay in the room! Invite the etiquette teacher over. You can only leave when you really realize your mistake.”
Old Master Cui looked at Uncle Li, who lowered his eyes and nodded in agreement.
“Jia Ling, how old are you? You still need an etiquette teacher. I’m ashamed of you.”
“That’s all Grandpa’s fault. You can’t tell right from wrong. It’s clearly this woman’s fault. Why are you blaming Mom?”
The walking stick hit Cui Ya hard. Cui Ya hugged her arms and fled, but Old Master Cui’s shout made her stay on the spot.
“Jia Ling, if you still want to stay in the Cui Family, press her down. I want to teach her how to respect others.”
Jia Ling looked troubled, but seeing that Old Master Cui did not look like he was joking, she could only press Cui Ya down.
Cui Ya, who had nowhere to hide, could only be forced to face Old Master Cui’s walking stick. She still had an unconvinced expression, but the pain of the stick became deeper and deeper.
“Bad Grandpa, I hate Grandpa the most!”
“You still dare to shout? I think you haven’t suffered enough.”
“I was wrong. Grandpa, stop hitting me. I was wrong!”
Hearing Cui Ya’s begging, Old Master Cui did not stop. He stared in the direction of Jia Ling and Cui Ya with disappointment and sadness.
In the early years, he felt that Jia Ling was a scourge, so he refused to accept her. As he had expected, how did she teach her two daughters?
What if Gu Man was angry and unwilling to return to the Cui Family?
At the thought of this possibility Old Master Cui trembled. The longing he had ignored surged into his heart.
If his daughter knew that Gu Man had suffered at his hands, she would definitely be angry.
Old Master Cui suppressed the sourness in his nose and raised the walking stick high again.
However, this time, it did not land on Cui Ya. Gu Man blocked it.
“Old Master Cui, just ground them.”
Gu Man tilted her head slightly and looked at Cui Ya, who was trembling in Jia Ling’s arms. Tears were already all over her face.
She did not hide the fear in her eyes at all. She trembled and grabbed Jia Ling’s sleeve tightly, trying to find a sense of security.
If this continued, something would probably happen. Moreover, if Jia Ling kept guiding her daughter like this, Cui Ya would not repent no matter how many times Old Master Cui hit her. Instead, she would become paranoid because of Old Master Cui’s extreme education.
“Send them back to their rooms. Send three meals a day into their rooms. They can’t go downstairs without my permission.”
Old Master Cui’s voice was hoa.r.s.e. How could his heart not ache? He had hit his biological granddaughter. It was just that he was afraid that this child would go astray in the future, so he hit her so hard.
He turned around and stopped looking at Jia Ling and Cui Ya.
It seemed like they still had to bring the children over. Under Jia Ling’s guidance, Cui Ya and Cui Xuan could not get any good education.
“Go back with her.”
Gu Man came to Cui Xuan’s side and patted her back gently, pointing in Cui Ya’s direction.
At this time, she could not let the child be alone. Having someone to accompany her would reduce the malice in her heart.
Moreover, although Cui Xuan was taught by Jia Ling, she did not only listen to Jia Ling like Cui Ya.
