Chapter 175: Chapter 154: The Bruised Xiao Ran, Wrong Again? _2

"No, I can play by myself normally!"

The little girl proudly lifted her head towards Jiang Xiao, seemingly proud of the ’one-person jump-rope’ technique she had invented, her face full of boasting.

"Xiao Ran, normally, how does Aunt Xiu treat you? Why don’t you play with her?"

Jiang Xiao’s smile towards Xiao Ran was still warm.

But Aunt Xiu’s face was becoming paler and paler as if it was the end of the world...

Though he seemed to be asking Xiao Ran, he was actually questioning himself!

"I, I, that’s right, you two play first, I’ll go out and bring back some water for you!"

"You better stay right there. Did I let you go out?"

Jiang Xiao’s light words had pinned Aunt Xiu who wanted to leave, back to her spot.

Go out?

Aunt Xiu shook her head with a wry smile.

Would going out help her find help?

Who in the entire villa dared to show their teeth against Jiang Xiao?

Aunt Xiu, who had been scolded by Jiang Xiao, moved her lips and finally, like a child, obediently walked to the corner and stood there.

"Xiao Ran, Uncle is asking you, how does Aunt Xiu usually treat you?"

Xiao Ran looked at her mom blankly.

She didn’t understand why her usually decisive and strong mother was standing in the corner she only stood in when she had made a mistake.

And looking at the caretaker uncle’s somewhat cold smile...

’Clatter~’

Seemingly realizing something, the fairy tale book in Xiao Ran’s hands fell to the ground.

Her eyes helplessly shifted back and forth between Jiang Xiao and Aunt Xiu.

Finally, with a "wah" sound, she burst into tears.

"Uncle caretaker, mom, mom is a good person, please don’t hit her, okay? Usually, it’s Xiao Ran who makes mistakes and mom punishes me. It’s all my fault, please don’t bully mom, woo woo woo..."

Although she didn’t understand what was happening, Xiao Ran’s subconscious told her:

Uncle caretaker was here to find trouble for her mom.

If those tough uncles upstairs had been beaten up by caretaker uncle like that, Xiao Ran couldn’t imagine what would happen if her mom was beaten.

Jiang Xiao didn’t speak.

The more Xiao Ran acted like this, the more turbulent his emotions became inside.

This only proved that Mr. Li was right,

Aunt Xiu’s "abuse" of Xiao Ran had reached an unimaginable level.

Although being constantly beaten, Xiao Ran still sided with her mom.

Seeing that the caretaker uncle was unmoved, Xiao Ran directly knelt by the bed, tears blurring her vision as she shook Jiang Xiao’s thigh.

"Uncle, I beg you, please don’t hit mom, okay? It really hurts so much when getting hit, woo woo woo..."

"Don’t cry, Xiao Ran, let uncle check your body, we will talk about Aunt Xiu later."

"What will happen after you check? Will you not hit my mom then?"

Jiang Xiao nodded; anyway, having Xiao Ran voluntarily take off her clothes was better than forcing her.

Seeing the caretaker uncle agree, Xiao Ran slowly began to remove her clothes.

The shocking wounds on her back were all exposed!

Oh my...

Jiang Xiao’s heart skipped a beat, unable to bear it he turned his head away.

His clenched fists also trembled slightly.

Why are there such beastly parents in the world?

That moment when he saw Xiao Ran’s back,

The whole world went silent.

In the live room, quite a few moms subconsciously covered their mouths.

Not to mention the tender-hearted girls.

Even the burliest of men couldn’t bear to see such injuries!

Could this be something a mother could do to her own daughter?

Every wound was so "fresh."

It was clearly the effect of old wounds not healed yet coupled with new injuries.

Some of the more severe spots were even showing signs of decay.

The worst areas even showed tiny blue veins...

"Actually, actually, if you don’t touch them, they aren’t that painful."

Xiao Ran said nervously, her back turned towards Jiang Xiao.

Even now, she still defended her mom.

Jiang Xiao took a deep breath.

"Aunt Xiu, what did she hit you with?"

Xiao Ran pointed to the rattan whip in the corner, which even had some rough thorns on it.

Such an object could literally whip someone to death!

If it weren’t for Xiao Ran being one of the supernatural entities from ’Analog Horror’, she surely couldn’t have survived!

Jiang Xiao walked over to get the rattan whip, passing by Aunt Xiu he feigned swinging the whip, instantly frightening her to shrink back violently.

"Heh, you know fear? You know pain too?"

Aunt Xiu nodded hesitantly and then squeezed further into the corner.

"Uncle, please don’t hit mom, okay? It’s, it’s Xiao Ran who doesn’t obey..."

"What kind of disobedience?"

Xiao Ran looked fearfully at Aunt Xiu, then nervously spoke.

"Not dressing properly, talking to others without listening to mom, leaving food in the bowl when eating, kicking under the table during meals, getting her clothes dirty..."

Listing them one by one, these "grave sins" in Aunt Xiu’s eyes,

And with each offense stated, Aunt Xiu’s face grew uglier by the minute.

"Xiao Ran, do you want your mom to disappear?"

Jiang Xiao asked as he stroked Xiao Ran’s head; he spoke not of beating or even ’killing’ her but making her ’disappear.’

Aunt Xiu’s legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground.

"No! I don’t want my mom to disappear! Then I would become a child without a mom."

Hiss...

Indeed, the little girl was just too naive.

But, in this villa, if she really lost Aunt Xiu, Xiao Ran’s life would certainly be much worse than it is now.

A child without a mom is the unhappiest child in the world.
