âThat might work on Jing Tian but it wonât work on me!â He yelled at me. Tong Le was truly angry this time.
âBut Jing Tian doesnât even blame me anymore.â I said weakly.
âThereâs more out of you?â Another hit on my head.
I put down my hands. âThis is the last.â He raised his hand. I lunged forward to hug his waist. âLittle Uncle, I was wrong.â The hand didnât fall.
I let him go and smiled at him. âLittle uncle, donât be mad. Itâll harm your body. I still wish for a little aunt and cousins. If I am too much trouble, just marry me off to Jing Tian. Itâll save you a lot of trouble!â I smiled brightly at him.
âIn his dreams!â My little uncle huffed. He turned to me. âAnd donât you get any funny ideas too!â
I didnât mind because he was no longer as angry as before.
âDoes it still hurt?â He asked. I was confused because I realized he was asking about my injuries. I shook my head. âTheyâre all minor wounds, I got off easy compared to the rest.â
He studied my arm and ankle, âYou call a gunshot wound minor injury?â
I moved my left arm. âItâs really okay now. I even used this hand to slap Yan Xin twice. Her face was so red even though I didnât use much force.â
âWhat about your feet?â My little uncle glared at my leg.
âIâll just use the same model of wheelchair and crutches as you, little uncle!â I cheered.
He was speechless.
âLittle uncle,â I began. âWhat is it?â He replied lazily. âI must have created a lot of trouble for you,â I admitted.
âHmm.â He answered nasally.
âEven though I have let Tong Lin and Yan Xin go, I have humiliated greatly and they do not seem to be the forgiving kind. They would definitely complain to their families and they would come after you! This is my fault.â I apologized sincerely. Ultimately it was indeed my fault. By now, people already see me and my little uncle as one. Even though I was the one who made the mistake, they would come to my little uncle for revenge.
My little uncle smirked coolly, âDonât worry so much. Weâre already knee-deep in troubles so what is really one more?â
My little uncle was always on my side even if it made no sense, even if I was in the wrong. I looked at him and my eyes watered.
My little uncle leaned against the chair. âThe video has spread on the darknet, youâre famous now.â
I was startled, âSo soon?â
He rolled his eyes at me. âIsnât this what you want?â
I shrugged, âYouâre right but I didnât expect it to happen so fast. O well, I want them to know that the money are all gone. Little uncle, Iâm poor now, Iâll have to rely on you. Youâll even have to prepare the dowry for me.â
My little uncle chuckled, âWho did you really resemble? Your parents were never as reckless as this.â
I countered, âItâs because I have a very powerful little uncle. Even if the sky falls, my little uncle will there to support me!â
My little uncle finally smiled. âOkay, youâre right. Your little uncle will always be there for you! You only need to learn to enjoy life!â
My eyes were a little moist. âLittle uncle, if I keep those money, itâll only lead to more trouble. I donât want any more people to get hurt from protecting me. If you canât afford to support me anymore, just marry me off.â
My little uncle tapped my forehead. âWhat nonsense! Even without your motherâs money, I can support you for life! Get someone to marry into the family and have a few more children, I can support all of them. Itâs not like we have no money anyway!â
My eyes smiled into crescent. âMy little uncle is the best!â
âBut donât get ahead of yourself. I believe not many people will believe the money youâve burnt are real. So the troubles will keep coming.â My little uncle yawned.
He said disapprovingly, âDo you think that the people on the darknet are as stupid as Yan Xin and Tong Lin?â
He smiled again. âBut it doesnât matter, now that the name of Sister Xing has spread among the underworld. Sister Xing is ruthless and takes after her mother, Sister Huan. She is not someone to be trifled with.â
