Chapter 20 : Chaos.

The Jiang family went to beds early. Darkness filled the vast sea of the sky. The sky empty with only a full moon to be seen in the distance. The moon felt so afar yet so close, it warmed countless uneasy minds with its soft light in the aloof glory of the night.

It was a peaceful sleep and an uneventful night.

...

Jiang XueYue woke up early at four. Streched her limbs and went to the bathroom to wash up. She was planning to do some morning excercise and train herself.

In the past few days, she had noticed how poor this body's overall physical condition was. If she were to run , she would be breathless after only a round and she couldn't even lift weights.

To Jiang XueYue's utter surprise, she saw her three brothers clad in sports t-shirts running together. Even Yan Yixing was there too, running behind the trio , sweating bullets. However the Jiang brothers were still at ease as they ran, without any sign of sweat or exhaustion.

.....

The next pleasant morning, the peaceful Jiang manor was turned upside down as Yan Yixing's loud screams echoed throughout the manor. The scared elderlies were jolted awake rushing downstairs as they huffed and puffed to catch their breathe.

The elder's of the Jiang family staggered over to the garden , with old master Jiang supporting old madam Jiang while father Jiang held mother Jiang. The poor elder's who were scared awake at 5 in the morning saw an equally pleasant scene, rendering them into a state of shock. They saw their usually well behaved children who were unmistakably reticent running around in the basketball court.

As the youngsters screamed and laughed,jumped around and rustled while playing a game which seemed like basketball, innocently unaware of the brooding danger approaching them.

Jiang Xuewei and Jiang Xueyue stood on the same side as they played the defensive role while Jiang Xuejing and Jiang Xuesheng with the possession of the basketball took an offensive charge.

The atmosphere was heated as the two teams dodged and attacked, with a fierce eye contact maintained throughout the process of passing the ball.

"These rascals. They will end up implicating my darling daughter. See how I teach....."

Father Jiang gnashed his teeth , snarling furiously at his bunch of headless sons. This crudes could have not let their sister join or they could have just waited till she recovered to play, couldn't they see how severely injured was she.

Right at this moment, when Father Jiang was about to step forward to stop them,he froze after what he saw .

Their darling daughter, who was supposedly injured and was in an severe situation , boldly snatched the ball from Jiang Xuesheng whilst performing a summersault to dodge the upcoming invasion from Jiang Xuejing as she promptly passed the ball to Jiang Xuewei.

The movements were all carried with agile moves without using her left arms.

"Kuddos to the Pheonix team for gaining the upper hand with this miracle worthy move. "

Little Yixing's enthusiastic voice sounded from the side along with her encouraging claps .

Father Jiang's sour gaze turned to look at the side, to find the little girl sitting beside the leaderboard.

So this girl was the referee.

And those screams....

This brat was clearly enjoying it.

They had rushed out sweating with concern at the thought of this little thing being in danger.

They were unknowingly tricked by this group of mischievous brats!

" How admirable." Father Jiang hissed , marching forward towards the court.

He was itching to extract revenge for his lost sleep.

How comfortable was it to hug his wife to sleep.

Yet his peace was destroyed by these group of headless chickens.

"I know right..."

Yan Yixing gleefully replied without looking back only to tremble as she faced father Jiang's dark gaze as she stopped mid-sentence.

Silencing the little thing ,who the culprit behind his lost sleep. Maste jiang next targeted the others, staring darkly in the direction of the group of siblings.

"Hey, brother,why don't you pass the ball?"

Poor Jiang Xuesheng yelled impatiently , seeing his teammate standing frozen on his spot without passing him the ball.

How was he to win the game if he played dumbly like this.

This unreliable teammate would cause him to lose his bet with their sister.

Could he still continue to face her gracefully if he lost in their first match?

How could he retain his dignity as a big brother then.

Jiang Xuejing,who had already seen father Jiang froze, not like he dared to move witnessing their father's enraged aura. Jiang Xuejing moved his eyes back at Master jiang and then his younger brother, Jiang Xuesheng, signalling him to turn back and see.

"Brother, have you become cross-eyed now?

Jiang Xuesheng, oblivious to the impending doom brooding behind his back questioned yet again.

Sigh!

Jiang Xuejing sighed in his heart.

It seems like they were bound to be punished today.

"Line up."

Master Jiang barked , indifferently looking at the group of children.

The siblings alongside Yan Yixing quickly rushed to stand in a line besides each other.

Jiang Xuejing and Jiang Xuewei stood at the outer sides with their younger siblings besides them while Yan Yixing stood in the middle.

The young and lively youngsters turned into stiff mannequins , facing the father while little Yixing stood nonchalantly with the hopeless belief that she wouldn't be punished.

After all ,she had utmost confidence in her cuteness.

She should be save, right?

" Children of Jiang family running around like headless chickens , creating a commotion in the early morning. how praise worthy." Master Jiang half-heartedly praised , flashing them a warm fatherly smile.

However, the Jiang siblings visibly shivered seeing his warm smile. They knew they messed up big this time.

They were trained by this smiling man from their early childhood and very well knew what fate awaited them if they caused him to smile with cresent eyes like this.

Though Jiang XyeYue had never been punished in her three years of stay in Jiang manor. It didn't mean she was unaware of how painful it could be. Her High and mighty borther would always be hissing and moaning in pain after those punishments.
