Chapter 954 - Responsibility II
What else could Su Yang say, he nodded at his maids and the maids cupped their fists then dashed hastily into the residence. Su Han and Su tao did not dare to say a word. It was hard to read Jin Hao's flat expression. They also couldn't read the intent behind Bei Li Yan's sinister smile but they guessed it wouldn't be good.
Not long after that Su Miou Lin came she didn't know whys he was suddenly called she only knew that it was Su Yang who called her, after what just happened Su Miou Lin didn't dare to argue even though she was really tired because he barely slept all night.
When Su Miou Lin arrived the atmosphere felt tight and heavy, but what surprised Su Miou Lin, even more, was that his uncle and cousins were kneeling on the floor like commoners the same as the servants of the Su family, they all lowered their heads without daring to speak. The atmosphere was dead silent Su Miou Lin felt like she could hear everyone's heartbeats or maybe it was her own heartbeat.
"Miou Lin comes and kneels down" Su Yang called out to her with a warning look.
Su Miou Lin in her life had never knelt down other than in front of the clan chief so you can tell how shocked she was, Su Miou Lin was then taken aback by the presence of a man with long white hair, although his face was undeniably handsome however his gaze was as cold as an iceberg, Su Miou Lin immediately lowered her gaze not daring to look at the man much longer.
Su Miou Lin kneels next to Su Yang she keeps her head low the heavy pressure makes her back drenched with cold sweat, just like a rabbit in the face of Lion Su Miou Lin who used to be haughty was quiet as a mouse.
"Name yourself" Jin Hao's voice is thick with authority.
"My niece's name…"
"I talk to her!" Jin Hao interrupted.
Fear squeezed the air from her lungs, Su Mio Lin fought her urge to faint, Su Miou Lin raised her head then with trembling lips she replied "Su...My name...Su Miou Lin"
"Are you trying to hurt my sister?" Jin Hao saw a voice filled with accusations.
Su Miou Lin's neck shrank she quickly defended herself "No, it's not me, it's my personal maid she does everything, I don't know anything"
Jin Hao looked at her then sneered "Still you gave orders to drug Jin Hua and your personal maid dares to do whatever she wants because you are too stupid to know that you are being taken advantage of"
Su Miou Lin's face turned red with embarrassment, Su Yang felt bad that she was reprimanded in front of their maid than he quickly spoke to help Su Miou Lin "Master Jin please forgive him, Miou Lin is still young, he…."
"Just because you are young doesn't mean you shouldn't take responsibility for your own actions, young or old everything you do has consequences, being young is not wrong but being ignorant and self-entitled is,!" Jin Hao then turns his attention back to Su Yang "I don't care how you treat your niece previously nor I care but she will need to be held accountable for her foolishness"
Even though Jin hao words were harsh but he was right, they never let Su Miou Lin take responsibility for her mistakes, they condone her behavior or just give her a slap on the wrist at most so is not unexpected she grew up like this.
Su Miou Lin's neck shrink like a turtle, no one had dared to speak bluntly to her before maybe only her grandfather dared to scold her but it was also very rare that she could even count by hand how many times the fifth elder was angry with her, moreover, even though she was punished by the Fifth elder the punishment was light the worst happened she was locked up inside her room for a few days while copying Buddhist scriptures or something after that the whole Su family will treat her better as if they feel guilty for punishing her that make the punishment was counterproductive.
"However…" Jin Hao paused for a second, at the same time the Su family members inhaled a cold breath.
Jin Hao turned his gaze towards them and continued, "Considering that my little sister has a good relationship with your family, I will leave your niece's punishment to the Su family, but the wretched servant who dares to touch my sister must be sent to the Hei Shen sect for proper punishment."
The entire Su family was sigh in relieved especially Su Miou Lin she almost cried and never in her life she was this scared, in her heart, Su Miou Lin promised not to do anything reckless again and in the future, she promised herself she will be more careful in speaking and behave, she didn't want to experience something like this again, which made her almost piss her pants.
"Thank you, Mr. Jin!" The Su family cupped their fists and lowered their heads simultaneously.
"Stand up" Jin Hao waved his hand nonchalantly, Jin Hao sighed heavily he wondered why he was so lenient today compared to how he used to be. Jin hao realized is not only Zhao Li Xin it seems he had changed quite a lot too just look how Bei Li Yan kept grinning at him.
'What an annoying sissy!'
"By the way, I heard Jin Kai has been trying to pursue you for some time?" Jin Hao asked while sizing her up and down wondering what was so good about this stupid young girl, no wonder Jin Hua was certain Jin Kai had an ulterior motive.
Su Miou LIn was just relieved but Jin Hao's question made her flinch again, "I...I..." she glanced at Su Yang for help.
Jin Hao knew that Su Miou Lin had misunderstood his question, Jin hao then sighed then explain, "I don't care what your relationship with Jin Kai was, but I think you know what kinda man Jin Kai really is, right?...right?" Jin Hao looks at her in disbelief.
Su Miou Lin looked at Jin Hao blankly.
Su Miou Lin's dumb expression showed she had no clue, for the first time Jin Hao feel bad for the stupid girl "So....you don't" Jin Hao pinched his glabella tiredly.
The situation became like this and the Su family still hadn't explained anything to this stupid girl. If he didn't know any better, Jin Hao would think the Su family was trying to hurt Su Mio Lin.
"That because Miou Lin is too young so we didn't explain it properly to her, yet" Su Yang tries to explain but it only makes him look more guilty.
"Did you know that young deer who are not aware are always killed first, you know why? it's because the little deer can't recognize the danger around her" Bei Li Yan cynically said.
The Su family was embarrassed they understood that what they had done so far endangered Su Miou Lin's upbringing moreover her safety because they raised Su Miou Lin like a vase of flowers, Su Miou Lin didn't know the hardships in life therefore other than living in the comfort of the Su family, Su Miou Lin might not be able to survive anywhere else.
"Forget it, I wanted to ask Miss Su if Jin Kai ever said anything strange to you?" Jin Hao waves his hand on air impatiently.
Su Miou Lin tilted her head then she shook her head "No, First Master never said anything strange..."
"Are you sure? Try to remember again maybe he said random things something was hard for you to understand" said Jin Hao again
Su Miou Lin knitted her brows, actually, when she thought about it their conversation was mostly superficial, Jin kai just asked what she likes or what gifts she likes. Jin kai rarely talks about himself or share his thought with her but once Jin Kai did say something strange.
Su Miou Lin suddenly clasped her hands in front of her chest "Oh, once he said something very strange..."
"What did he say?" Jin Hao looked at her with deep interest.
Su Miou Lin pursed her lips trying to remember the correct words then she looks Jin Hao with a confused look "He asked me..... what would I've changed if I could turn back time?"
