All I wish for is a last chance

Chapter 15

Everyone's Pov
Jiang cheng stormed towards them and started to yell.
Jiang Cheng sneered at Jiang Yanli, his contempt apparent in the curl of his lip. "You think you're so special, don't you?"

Jiang Yanli stood her ground, her expression betraying a flicker of hurt but quickly replaced by her usual composed demeanor. "I don't need special treatment, wanting, unlike you. "

Jiang Cheng chuckled, a hollow sound. "Oh, but you always want it, don't you? Always needing someone to take care of you, like a baby."

J

iang Yanli took a deep breath, her hands balling into fists that hid the way they trembled. "I am not a baby, jiang wanyin. I'm responsible and capable in my own right."

Jiang Cheng ignored her, his eyes taking a condescending look. "Sure, like you've ever done anything significant without someone holding your hand. You're all talk, no action."
Jiang Cheng sneered, his eyes flickering with a hint of anger. "I don't understand why you keep hanging around with Wei Wuxian. He's nothing but trouble, always causing chaos."

Jiang Yanli's expression tightened a little, a small flicker of irritation in her eyes. "A-ying is a good friend. He's not like what you think."

Jiang Cheng's scoff echoed through the room. "Don't be so naive, A-jie. He's reckless and careless. He'll only drag you down."Jiang Yanli took a deep breath, her voice steady despite the bite behind her words. "And what if he does? I don't need you to tell me who my friends should be, A-Cheng."

Jiang Cheng's expression darkened, his jaw clenching as if he were holding back his next words. "You're too soft. You need to learn to be more discerning, not let anyone in who just smiles at you."

As jiang yanli was about to retort he scolds her again by. Jiang Cheng looked at Jiang Yanli with a sneer, his words sharp and biting. "You know, if you keep hanging around Wei Wuxian all the time, people might get the wrong idea about you. They might start thinking you're just some loose woman hanging onto any man who pays you attention."

Wei ying's POV
We all stared at them, I didn't want to interfere between the siblings, but he kept scolding li jie, she was nice and strong woman. How dare he, hmmp. If my gege was here, he would surely beat that idiot. Damn it, that stupid, how dare he...

Wei ying punches Jiang cheng hard, that Jiang cheng stumbles and falls back.
Wei ying glared fiercely, "People know who is good and bad, it is all in your mind. No wonder you have no one on your side. It is you who is a baby and needs help. You can't even do anything right, and you talk about lijie??? "
Jin zixuan and lan wangji holds him back as he tried to lunge forward. But Jiang wanyin punched him.

And this made yanli point her sword at Jiang cheng. "You will stop there young master Jiang, no one is allowed to raise their hands against my brother. Yes young master Jiang, aying here is more of a brother to me than you"

Lan qiren comes there hearing the commotion and immediately he accuses Wei ying and scolds him before telling him to kneel in the yard until Jiang Cheng's parents come.
Jin zixuan : master lan, it wasn't wuxian's fault. He was-

Lan qiren interrupts zixuan with a hard glare "Enough, young master Jin. Everyone to your dorms now. Wangji, look after this boy's punishment".

As he left, Wei wudian felt bad, no one has ever punished him this harshly nor did anyone punch him, he wanted to cry and go back to his gege. But he couldn't, he should be brave and strong. He was only standing up for lijie, why is he punished. He silently follows wangji.

Lan zhan, sees the gloomy look on his face. He knows his uncle is being unfair but he couldn't say anything. He didn't like the gloomy look on Wei ying. Lan zhan was never goot at talking, he wished he could be comforting like his brother. But still he tries his best by holding Wei ying's hand and squeezing, looking at his eyes"Wei ying, you were right. "

Wei ying looked at him in surprise, this was the first time lan zhan ever agreed with him. And strangely warm, not warm like when his gege cuddles him. Usually when his gege hug him he feels like he is safe, warm, happy but this warmth was weird it made his heart go boom boom. Without realizing he blushed. "Huh?? I.. I was?? T.. Thank you lan zhan"

As he kneeling, he started to play around trying to distract his mind. Soon, he was called in. As he went in, he saw an angry looking woman and a man who stared at him weirdly.
"WEI YING, HOW DARE YOU." Yu Ziyuan sneered, her eyes narrowing as she looked at Wei Wuxian. "You're just a lowly street urchin. Your parents were nothing, and you'll never amount to anything either.How dare you raise your hand against my son your superior, you useless son of a servant"

Wei ying stood shocked, he felt fear for first time in years, no one even dared to mention his past in streets as it was horrible memory filled with dogs and cold. He didn't like her , how could she talk I'll of his parents. But still he couldn't find words to talk. He wanted to scream at her, but he also remembers how his gege always said, sometimes it is better to not talk. He felt conflicted.

Madam yu, who saw that he wasn't cowering in fear and kowtowing to her, felt anger, her disgust for cangse sanren. Her bitterness came out of her. She brought down her whip to whip Wei ying.

Wei ying stood frozen in fear.
