The Typhoon's Dangerous Wife

Chapter 228 - YUAN'S GETTING PUNISHED

Long Yuan massaged his aching temple. He just knew this time it would be Long Jie who would shoot him instead of Zhenyi. 

He was sweating profusely.

Zhao Melin, who was being fed pastry by her dear husband, felt Long Yuan's anxiousness as she asked," Hubby, what is wrong with Yuan?" 

Long Wei removed his gaze from her wife's beautiful face and glanced at Long Yuan as he said," Nothing, baby. He is just worried about not obtaining six feet of land for setting up his tomb." 

"Ouch!" Long Wei exclaimed in pain as he was suddenly hit by a cane. 

"You stinky brat! How dare you talk about your brother like that?" Grandma Mian hit Long Wei again. 

"Ow!, Beauty Mian, both of us know what I said is correct to some extent. Aunt stirred trouble again with Zhenyi, and Yuan was instructed by Jie to keep an eye on her. He failed, and according to the conduct set up by Jie, Yuan will receive the harshest punishment." 

Zhao Meilin frowned. She quite liked her brothers-in-law a lot. Both of them were respectful and considerate towards her. 

Therefore, she couldn't see Long Yuan suffering for any reason. 

She was a very kind and soft-hearted woman but these qualities of hers never became Long Wei's weakness, instead, it encouraged him every day to do better for her sake. 

"Hubby, isn't it quite unreasonable?" Zhao Meilin asked him in a soft voice. " It is not Yuan's fault entirely. He didn't know something like this would happen." 

Grandma Mian grunted. 

Don't get her wrong, she liked Zhao Meilin a lot but she still was not used to her level of kindness. It was something else. It was solely because of the fact that she had spent her life with families involved in violence and chaos that she didn't see herself kind like Zhao Meilin. 

"Baby, it's still counted as Yuan's fault. He must have to be prepared for the task assigned to him all the time. He thought that Zhenyi hadn't been to Long Mansion in months so she won't be here today as well. It was his assumption proven wrong that would get him punished this time." 

"Who doesn't know how much Song Lily loves insulting Zhenyi!" Grandma Mian said angrily. "I think she sleeps peacefully every time dreaming that she finally threw my precious Zhenyi out of the Long family. But I will remind this vicious witch that it will only be true in her dreams!" 

Zhao Meilin still didn't know the reason for the source of Grandma Mian's hatred for Song Lily. 

So, she sighed. Praying for God to save her special day! 

"Grandma, if Aunt Lily was responsible for arousing the scene today, it can't also be ignored that Zhenyi had been provoking her since the moment she stepped inside the Long Mansion," said Zhao Meilin.

"It's not like I don't want her here," added Zhao Meilin when she noticed Grandma Mian's cold glare. "It's just that the day I have planned with great expectations for me and the baby was messed up because of Aunt and Zhenyi's hatred for each other. I and the baby are just collateral damage." 

"Then why didn't you say this before?" Grandma Mian asked Meilin who had turned sad all of a sudden. 

"Because that's her home too and she is one of us. I want my baby to receive her blessings," said Zhao Meilin with a sad smile. " It was presumptuous of me to assume that Zhenyi and Aunt Lily will forget their differences for a day for my sake. It seems like I have been proven wrong." 

Long Wei hugged his wife and said in a soft voice," That's not your fault, baby. It's just that their hatred for each other is so deep-rooted and ancient that nothing in this world could undo their feelings for each other. But it doesn't mean that they can drag everyone in their fights." He paused and hugged her even tighter as he added," I apologize Wifey. But I promise next time I won't let anything of this sort happen. You don't have to compromise with your happiness ever again." 

"Wei is right, Linlin. It was your special day, and we just spoiled it for you," Grandma Mian added. "Please forgive me." 

Zhao Meilin shook her head. "Both of you, please don't apologize." She turned to her husband and said," If you are really sorry, Hubby, then don't let Brother Jie punish Yuan this time." 

Long Wei held up his hands in the air as resignation. "Ask me for my life, Wife," Long Wei said in a romantic tone. "But don't ask for it. He deserves it." 

Zhao Meilin glared at him. 

He placed his chin on her shoulder and said," You gotta understand it, Wife. What Yuan did today deserves punishment. He was not asked by a brother to take care of his sister-in-law, but as a subordinate by the boss to protect his wife." He paused and heaved out a sigh before saying further," You know what we do for a living, right? When we leave home at any time of the day, we are not certain if we will be back for sure or not. Our lives along with the lives of our family are always in danger. That's why Jie had asked Yuan to protect his wife at any cost. So, it's not in my hands if Yuan will be punished this time or not." 

Zhao Meilin saw the complicated look in his eyes and shook her head as if she was understanding what he was telling her even when hadn't grasped a single thing. 

Long Wei thought back to the time two months ago when Long Jie had caused the mayhem in the city. He knew to what extent his cousin was willing to go when it involved his wife. 

He imagined what his reaction would be when he would learn about Zhenyi attending Meilin and their baby's function.

He was sure that Zhenyi didn't know about her miscarriage because Long Jie had forbidden him to talk to her about it at all. He couldn't imagine how it felt like losing his child and wife all of a sudden.
