Chapter 396 Let Dragon Scale Stay and Atone for His Sins

Long Lin was caught off guard by Jiang Youli's actions and was kicked so hard that he fell to his knees.

Not only was Long Lin caught off guard, but Zhang Susu and Jiang Yehan were also caught off guard.

This……

The couple looked at each other, wondering what their daughter was up to.

The dragon scales' wounds have just healed, haven't they?

Why did they suddenly take action?

Don't talk about martial arts!

But whatever, what's the point of talking about martial ethics when it comes to someone like Long Lin!

"Cousin, what are you doing?" Long Lin, kneeling on the ground, immediately reddened her eyes, and her voice was so aggrieved that it could almost drip water.

Jiang Youli kicked him in the face again, sending him sprawling to the ground.

Zhang Susu: "..."

Jiang Yehan: "..."

The scene is too violent to watch!

The couple said nothing, silently lowered their heads and ate their breakfast, pretending not to have seen anything.

Jiang Youli bent down and patted his proud, pale face hard. "What are you doing? You mean by atoning for your sins? You don't mean having breakfast with us every day and chatting with my mom at home counts as making amends, do you?"

"This is true atonement."

This is completely different from what Dragonscale had anticipated!

Long Lin suddenly couldn't figure out Jiang Youli's tactics!

But he didn't break down, still managing a harmless smile, "If this makes you and your aunt and uncle feel better, then..."

"what!"

Before he could finish speaking, he was punched hard in the face, so hard that he almost spat out his saliva.

Jiang Youli raised her fist and stretched it out. "You don't need to tell me. Since you've come to me of your own accord, I'll treat you well."

Dragon Scale's eyes finally showed some fear. "Cousin, what do you want to do?"

"I can tell you really don't want to leave. Since that's the case, I'll grant your wish. You can stay at the Jiang family's house for now until your injuries heal."

She emphasized the words "until the injury heals" with a clear and forceful pronunciation.

It's as if they're deliberately emphasizing that his injury is unlikely to heal!

Long Lin wasn't stupid; he quickly guessed Jiang Youli's intention. If he were to be beaten like this by Jiang Youli every day while he was in the Jiang family, how could his injuries possibly heal!

"No, no need... Cousin, I'll go find my mom first... Ah!"

Before he could finish speaking again, he was punched in the other cheek.

Jiang Youli admired her masterpiece with satisfaction. "Hmm, now both sides of my face are swollen, it looks much better!"

“Cousin…” Long Lin said, enduring the pain in his cheek.

Looking at his swollen face, Jiang Youli said softly, "Shh, don't talk. If you want to atone, then atone properly. Don't tell me you don't want to atone after just a few blows. It's too late to regret it now."

As she spoke, she began punching him repeatedly in the face until he was bruised and swollen, so much so that even Jiang Li wouldn't recognize her son!

"cousin……"

Jiang Youli raised her hand and swung it down, "Stop calling me cousin! Call me grandma!"

"Grandma..."

"You son of a bitch!"

Every time Long Lin tried to speak, Jiang Youli would slam him down with her fist.

Finally, Long Lin was too weak to speak, so Jiang Youli gently patted his swollen cheeks and said tenderly, "My good cousin, you can stay here and slowly atone for your mother's sins."

After saying that, Jiang Youli stood up and instructed, "Uncle Pan, take my cousin back to the villa in the West District to recover properly. He can't leave before he's fully recovered. If something happens, I won't be able to explain it to my aunt and the Long family."

"Yes, Miss." Seeing that the master and mistress had no objections, the butler led his men to take away the dragon scales lying on the ground.

After the housekeeper took the dragon scale away, Zhang Susu said somewhat embarrassedly, "Youli, I was worried that you really intended to keep him at home..."

After wiping her hands clean, Jiang Youli sat back down in her chair. "I wanted him to stay. Didn't I just agree to it?"

Zhang Susu chuckled dryly, "What you're doing isn't called keeping someone, it's called imprisonment."

“Hey, same thing,” Jiang Youli said nonchalantly.

However, seeing her daughter so calm, Zhang Susu finally stopped worrying.

She said with lingering fear, "Youli, to be honest, if I let him continue to spend time with me here, I'm almost starting to think that Longlin is a really good kid. The moment I had that thought, I felt a little scared. I realized that if he was really pretending to get revenge on you, this kid has disguised himself far too well."

Jiang Youli asked, "Mom, what did you say?"

Zhang Susu recounted: "These past few days, since you and your dad went to work, Longlin has been coming to chat with me. At first, I was quite resistant to him and wary of everything he said and did. But he's very patient. You encouraged me to pick up my fashion design career again, and while I'm focused on it, Longlin chooses to quietly do his own thing at a distance. For example, the day before yesterday, I was designing a dress inspired by the forest, and Longlin quietly assembled an exquisite model of a forest cabin, which gave me a lot of inspiration. Yesterday, I was reading a book about marine life, and Longlin was sketching marine creatures with watercolors. When I occasionally look up or take a break and see this, I subconsciously feel that he understands my current interests, and I experience a subtle pleasure of being understood."

“When I feel tired from designing, he will hand me a cup of refreshing tea, or he will play some soothing music that I like to listen to. If he notices that I squint or rub my temples in the bright light, he will silently adjust the angle of the curtains. He just acts quietly and does not disturb me too much.”

"After I realized it, I felt it was terrifying. I imagined that if I spent more time with him, I would probably trust him unconditionally no matter what he did, and even if I felt something was wrong with him later, I would think that I was just overthinking it."

Jiang Yehan said somewhat helplessly, "Your mother told me last night, and this morning I was thinking of finding a reason to get Long Lin to leave, but who knew..."

At this point, he laughed out loud, "So that's what you were planning when you left him here, Youli."

Zhang Susu also laughed and said, "To be honest, your dad and I think you can definitely handle those methods that involve knives and guns, but we're afraid you'll be too easily moved and let your guard down with these softer tactics. Just like back then, when we went to the village to pick you up and said a few words for you in front of Jiang Yangxu and Qin Yulian, you trusted us so much and recognized us as your parents."

Jiang Youli smiled calmly, "Mom, don't worry. My trust in you isn't given lightly. You deserve it."

This time, Zhang Susu and Jiang Yehan were truly relieved.

After finishing breakfast, Jiang Youli went to the villa in the West District and found Long Lin, who was being carefully guarded and locked in the room where Jiang Yonghe used to live.

Long Lin sat in front of the dressing mirror, wincing in pain as she carefully touched her swollen face, uttering the words "Jiang Youli".

Although she didn't hear clearly, Jiang Youli could guess how harshly Long Lin had scolded her.

Hearing the door open, Long Lin turned his head to look out.

Upon seeing Jiang Youli, he jumped to his feet, his expression revealing obvious fear.

"cousin……"
