Chapter 172: The Final Victim
Sheng Yue smiled weakly. Grandma treated her all right when Sheng An wasn’t around, but once Sheng An was present, Grandmother Sheng was always partial to Sheng An. She knew her grandma preferred boys to girls.
No matter how many grandsons she had, she still preferred boys, thinking boys were more valuable than girls.
Sheng An finally came to his senses. The girl was too fast earlier and he didn’t even realize what had happened. He pointed at Sheng Yang and shouted angrily, “I was going to shoot water at her, but who would’ve thought that she would be so mean as to turn my muzzle toward Sheng Yue!”
He was known as the little overlord. No one dared to stop him from doing anything. She was the first one. How dare she?!
Grandmother Sheng was stunned, not expecting this to be the truth. She shielded Sheng An behind her and glared fiercely at Sheng Yang.
This girl was ill-bred indeed. How could she be so vicious? How dare she make use of her dear little grandson?
She was about to scold Sheng Yang when Sheng Yuxi and Sheng Hanjing suddenly stood in front of Sheng An like two mountains. With a straight face, Sheng Yuxi had completely obstructed the light in front of Sheng An, and Sheng Hanjing was still smiling but his smile was icy. “Think before you speak.”
As gentle as his voice was, it was as cold as the sun in the middle of winter.
Sheng An couldn’t help but shiver.
Frankly speaking, he had messed with these two cousins before. They normally just ignored him; they had never been so angry!
Somehow, Sheng An was a bit scared and wanted to curse Sheng Yang.
Sheng Hanjing glanced at him again. Then he repeated impatiently, “I said ‘think before you speak’.”
So scary…
Sheng An’s thick neck seemed to be pinched by a big invisible hand, and he couldn’t speak.
Seeing her little grandson’s horrified eyes, Grandmother Sheng hugged him. “Don’t scare him.”
Sheng Hanjing was usually respectful to Grandmother Sheng, but now he frowned.
Sheng An always ran amok but he didn’t think he was ever at fault. However, now he wanted to bully his young sister. He certainly wouldn’t allow Sheng An to do that!
Facing pressure from the two of them and noticing that Uncle and Aunt were glaring at him as if they were about to eat him, Sheng An quickly corrected himself and pointed at Sheng Yue. “I was just playing with Sheng Yue.”
Grandmother Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. She didn’t want her grandsons to fight, so she immediately said to Sheng Yue, “Yueyue, your brother is just playing with you. Don’t take it seriously. Come on, go change.”
Sheng Yue was so angry that her eyelashes were trembling. So in the end, she was the victim?
Yes… The droplets of water were still running from her hair to her cheeks. Her eyes were deep and dark. This was all because she didn’t have brothers who would protect her; she only had a brother who would hold her back!

At the banquet hall, Yi Juncheng was by Grandma Liu’s side in case she felt uneasy in this crowded hall.
He crossed his legs, sitting lazily. From time to time, girls passed by him on purpose. Their faces blushed red but they didn’t dare to approach him because this stunningly handsome man’s eyes were too cold.
