Chapter 96: Who's Bullying Whom?

Chen Wei sat on the steps while letting the wind burn her face. She was looking straight at Chen Rong with a queue of maids and servants behind her.

After several days of not seeing Chen Wei, Chen Rong noted that her chin was now more pointed and her face was sallow and haggard.

As they looked at each other, she found that Chen Wei's eyes were in an empty daze. If she looked like this, then perhaps she had not come to condemn her?

Chen Rong dismounted her carriage while contemplating the situation.

She kept her head lowered and walked ahead.

Her hair was disheveled, there was also dried blood on the corner of her mouth. When she got to Chen Wei, she curtsied and softly said, "Please wait, jiejie. I'll see you after I take a bath."

When she finished, she walked past Chen Wei and went straight toward her room.

"Stop!"

Chen Wei's shout was both hoarse and strengthless.

Chen Rong stopped but did not look back. She merely said, "I accidentally fell so I'm looking unpresentable right now. Please allow me to take a bath and change my clothes first."

Her explanation was delivered after careful deliberation.

But Chen Wei wasn't in the mood to listen to her. She stared at her cousin and obstinately insisted: "That's not necessary, I don't want to wait."

She rose and walked over to Chen Rong.

Seeing that she was standing behind her without doing or saying anything, and just staring at her, Chen Rong couldn't help but feel the chills. She turned around with a smile and called, "Cousin?"

"Let's speak inside," Chen Wei said. "Why are you just standing there?" she aded when she didn't see Chen Rong move.

Chen Rong glanced at the servants who were looking at her with concern, gave some thought, then turned and walked toward the room.

Chen Wei was right behind her. Once she entered the room, she flung her sleeves and shut the door.

Hearing the slamming door and sensing Chen Wei's anxious breathing, Chen Rong worriedly thought: What happened can't possibly have reached her ears, can it?

While Chen Rong pondered to herself, a loud thud all of a sudden sounded behind her.

She turned around. Do not steal from h amster 428.

She instantaneously froze and stared in shock at Chen Wei who had dropped to her knees and was now pleadingly looking at her even though the lips on her pallid face was still stubbornly pressed into a line. Chen Rong didn't know what to do.

Chen Wei kept her back straight as she stared up at Chen Rong. She bit her lip when she faced her cousin's beautiful face.

She was biting herself quite hard. In a flash, her mouth was already bleeding.

After staring at Chen Rong for a while, she suddenly knocked her head on the floor and said, "Ah Rong, have mercy on me."

Upon hearing these words, all of Chen Rong's surprise and shock went away. She coldly smiled and replied, "Ah Wei, I've never provoked you!"

She might have sought her own happiness previously, but she hadn't initiated anything this time! Nothing at all!

Chen Wei wasn't convinced. She gave Chen Rong another kowtow. "Ah Rong, I love General Ran. From the first time I saw him, nay, from the first time I heard his name and saw his portrait, I have loved him. Every night when I dream, I would dream of him. Every day when I eat, I would think of him. Ah Rong, all I want is to spend my life with him. Why do you have to appear? Why do you have his attention? Why?!"
