The entire room fell silent.
Su Muwan’s eyes widened as she looked at Qin Luo, who had struck her sister, in disbelief.
Huh?
Was this how the script was supposed to go?
Wasn’t this newcomer supposed to stand in front of Su Bailian and angrily accuse me of being a big villain?
Why… why was it different from how I imagined?
Su Bailian’s head was also buzzing. She touched her burning cheek.
In that instant.
A complex mix of anger and grievance suddenly surged from her chest.
Su Bailian looked at Qin Luo in disbelief and shrieked, “You!! You actually dared to hit me?!”
“Don’t you want to live?!”
“You…”
However.
Smack!!
Before she could finish.
Qin Luo backhanded her, interrupting her spellcasting, then looked down at her coldly and said, “Shut up.”
“You’re hurting my young lady’s eyes.”
“A mere adopted daughter dares to use underhanded tricks in front of my young lady.”
“Su Bailian, do you really think you’re the main wife or something?!”
As soon as he said this.
Su Bailian covered her cheek, her expression gradually stiffening.
A mere… a mere adopted daughter.
That’s right, back in school, this was exactly how people had mocked and laughed at her.
But!
Through hard work, this young lady had long since won more trust and love from the Su Family parents!
Even if she was an adopted daughter, in the end, she would still be the winner!!
A mere follower, a mere follower…
She pushed herself up from the ground, her eyes blazing with anger, and screamed at Qin Luo, “So what if it’s Su Muwan?!”
“The one in charge of the main family now is me!”
“A mere follower, don’t get too cocky!”
As she finished.
Smack!!
“Urgh!”
Qin Luo slapped her again.
Su Bailian staggered and fell to her knees with a thud.
She stared blankly at the ground, her mind reeling in disbelief.
This follower… hit me again?
But it wasn’t over yet.
Qin Luo yanked Su Bailian up, and as she stared blankly, he raised his hand and sneered, “Heh, this slap is for your hypocrisy!”
Smack!
“This slap is for your disgusting way of talking!”
Smack!
“This slap is for your lack of humility!”
Smack!
“This slap is for you…”
The sound of slapping echoed continuously in the room.
All the followers stood frozen in place.
Seriously… should we stop this or not?
“Stop! Qin Luo, do you know who you’re hitting?!”
Zhulan walked forward frantically, trying to stop him.
If they offended the Second Young Lady, all of them, the followers, would be implicated!
However.
“Shut up!”
Qin Luo’s roar froze Zhulan in place. He looked at the group of followers at the door, grieving their misfortune and angered by their cowardice, and cursed, “A bunch of trash! Do you even understand who the young lady you’re following is?!”
“Is it Su Bailian, the adopted daughter, or our Eldest Miss, Su Muwan?!”
“When Eldest Miss was being slandered by this bitch just now, why didn’t any of you step in to help?!”
“And now you’re all reluctant to act?!”
“Ridiculous!”
“Listen up, all of you!”
“The people you don’t dare to hit, I, Qin Luo, will hit!”
“The people you don’t dare to offend, I, Qin Luo, will offend!”
“In one sentence: the people you trash dare to offend, I, Qin Luo, also dare to offend; the people you don’t dare to offend, I, Qin Luo, dare to offend even more!”
“Strike first, report later, with the young lady’s permission! That’s me, Qin Luo! Is that clear enough?!”
Having said that, Qin Luo swept his gaze around and said coldly, “If any of you dares to take one step forward to stop me from teaching this bitch a lesson today, then don’t blame me, Qin Luo, for being heartless!”
You!!
You’ve only been on the job for a month!! You only finished training two days ago and joined this follower team!!
Zhulan was shocked inwardly, but when she heard Qin Luo’s words, a wave of shame surged within her.
That’s right.
The person she followed was Eldest Miss, but… earlier, when Eldest Miss told her to send the Second Young Lady away, she had hesitated.
The other followers were also scolded into shame, lowering their heads, none of them daring to look at Su Muwan or Qin Luo.
As for Su Muwan, she was staring blankly at Qin Luo, who was lecturing Su Bailian.
For a moment, an inexplicable feeling surged in her heart.
So… strange…
This reincarnated version was different from what I imagined.
Smack, smack, smack!!
The sound of slapping continued in the room.
“This last slap is for being too ugly!! You’ve completely sullied my young lady’s eyes!!!”
Smack!!
Thud!!
God’s Palm forced the target to let Qin Luo slap to his heart’s content.
Su Bailian collapsed to the ground, both cheeks swollen and red.
She touched her face, tears streaming down from her eyes.
Su Bailian broke down and cried like a storm, “You’re the ugly one! You’re the ugly man!”
“Waaahhh!!!”
“You! This lackey actually dared to hit this young lady!”
“Boo hoo hoo ahhh!!! This young lady will tell Father to throw you into the river to feed the sharks!”
The more Su Bailian spoke, the angrier she got, and as she spoke, she actually started crying in public.
This wasn’t an act.
She was… really crying.
The group of followers watched the Second Young Lady, who was spewing vulgar language, and their worldview and senses were shattered on the spot.
Was… was this the gentle Second Young Lady they knew?
At that moment.
Clap, clap.
Applause sounded.
Su Bailian’s body trembled, thinking she was about to be hit again.
Qin Luo looked over.
He saw.
Su Muwan, a smile on her lips, gently clapping her hands.
She looked at Su Bailian, who was sprawled on the ground crying, and said with a light laugh, “Lianlian, if you keep crying, you really will soak my young lady’s carpet.”
“Zhulan…”
As she spoke, Su Muwan looked at Zhulan with a kind expression. “Take Lianlian downstairs for now. I’ll go with you later to send her back to the main house.”
“Yes!”
Zhulan shuddered all over, her hair standing on end. She quickly lowered her head in shame and guilt, grabbed Su Bailian, and walked out.
The other followers also left, each feeling ashamed.
Qin Luo shook his wrist. Whew, his hand was getting tired from all the slapping.
But still, this counted as being a qualified follower, right?
As he thought this, Qin Luo turned to Su Muwan and said, “Young…”
Before he could finish.
He froze.
Because.
Su Muwan revealed a smile he had never seen before… a warm, spring-like smile that seemed to carry both gratitude and a hint of relief and naturalness: “Qin Luo, is it. I’ll remember you.”
“Starting today, you are this young lady’s personal follower, and also my most trusted subordinate.”
“Take this unlimited black card. Later, bring some people to the commercial street and buy yourself a new outfit and some daily necessities.”
“You… from now on, like Zhulan, will live in this Su Family villa.”
With that.
Su Muwan handed him a black card and a key to the garage.
『Congratulations! Su Muwan’s trust increased by 5%. Current trust: 5%!』
『Reward obtained: Automatic Parry (Automatically parries any technique that cannot penetrate the host’s Defense. Parried techniques are fully reflected back at the attacker.)』
!!!
Huh?! A hidden reward?!
Qin Luo was overjoyed. On the surface, he remained loyal, looking like 『This is what I should do』 as he bowed and said, “Thank you, Eldest Miss!”
With that, he left the place, feeling very pleased.
Click~
As Qin Luo left, only Su Muwan remained in the room.
Her expression gradually broke.
“Hehehe…”
“Hmph hmph…”
“Hahahaha!!!”
“Mwahahahahaha!!!!!”
First she suppressed her laughter, then, as if she couldn’t hold it in anymore, she let it all out and laughed loudly.
Su Muwan clenched her fists, replaying in her mind the image of Su Bailian crying from being hit.
Then she joyfully cried out to the heavens, “SOOO SATISFYING!!!!!”
I’ve wanted to see that bitch suffer ever since my past life!!
