Ji Lin immediately looked at Bai Chuxia, and seeing that her face was also red, she was clearly much better than him. "Chuxia, you fought with your sister again, look how you beat her up, it's not like I'm talking about you as the stepmother. You're no longer a little girl, you can't be so reckless," while she was helping Bai Qiuwan, she also used this as an excuse to speak.
How could Bai Chuxia not understand her meaning? It was because Ji Yeche had come to Yunnan to look for her, so she must have had some complaints. The reason why her face was not as swollen as Bai Qiuwan's was because she had applied ice water on it.
Since her aunt had said so, she had nothing to refute. Unless she told what had happened upstairs, if she did not say it, she could only treat it as a mute.
Bai Yaoguo's gaze landed on his eldest daughter's face. There was indeed a bright red palm print on her face, and it was also red on her face. There was no need to guess, they must be fighting again.
He slammed his bowl and chopsticks on the table, "Bai Chuxia, why did you hit your sister this time? I thought you had grown up, understood, and were already acting like a doctor, you won't be as mischievous as you were when you were young. Before we went to Yunnan, when you lost your temper and beat up your sister, I told you to relax because of your injuries, but why did you come back and beat your sister to such a state? You are gentle and kind, but you are her sister, how can I bully her again and again?"
He slapped the table in anger, he was so angry that he could not even breathe, Ji Lin stood at the side and comforted him, "Alright, alright, stop being so angry, your body is more important."
Bai Qiuwan lowered his head, feeling wronged, but a gloating smile still hung on his face.
Ning Xiaoyi looked at Bai Chuxia. In her heart, she knew that the cause of this matter was Bai Qiuwan's fault, but since even Chuxia did not say anything, how could she say anything? She understood Chuxia very well, and her mouth was hard and her heart was soft.
Shuoshuo, who was sitting between Bai Chuxia and himself, also put down his chopsticks in shock because of Bai Yaoguo's sudden outburst of anger.
As if he hadn't heard it, Bai Chuxia continued to eat with his chopsticks expressionlessly, responding to his father's anger "I have nothing else to say, whether it's right or wrong, whatever you want to think in your heart, it's all decided".
"What's with your attitude?" Bai Yaoguo was agitated by Bai Chuxia, "I want you to tell me what happened now. There must be a reason to fight, right?
Seeing that Bai Chuxia was not sure, and was certain that it was because of his own son, Qiuwan advised her a few things before she started to beat him up.
"Not favouring?" Bai Chuxia laughed coldly: "My dear father, from the very beginning, when you didn't differentiate between red and white, and blamed it on me, you had already been biased towards me. I know that from a young age till now, Bai Qiuwan has always been your treasure, I understand.
She pretended that she didn't care, that she was very strong, but in this world, which heart wasn't born of flesh and blood, and which heart was truly invincible?
Bai Qiuwan was afraid that his father would push him too far. In a fit of anger, Bai Chuxia would quickly spit out the matter and raise his head. Riko said with tears in her eyes: "Dad, forget it, I don't want to scold Chuxia anymore, just treat it as my fault. I beg you, stop pursuing the matter.
He really knows how to pretend! Bai Chuxia had finally seen her acting.
"You foolish child, it's just that your heart is too kind." Ji Lin cherished her very much. Bai Qiuwan had always treated her like his own mother and she also treated her as her own daughter.
Bai Yaoguo retracted his anger, and sighed: "Chuxia, it's your big sister who is pleading for mercy on your behalf this time. You beat her up like this, and she's even pleading for mercy on your behalf, all because she knows that you're her little sister, and the two of you are sisters by blood.
If it was the old Bai Chuxia, she would have turned hostile long ago and left while slapping the table.
But the current her, even if she had a knife in her heart to cut again, was still able to control herself. She did not reply her father, and instead looked down at the frightened Shuoshuo, smiling gently, "Why aren't you eating? Come, eat a piece of Red Braised Meat."
Shuoshuo lowered his head, did not even move his chopsticks, and unhappily whispered, "Auntie, you're also in pain from being beaten up, and you're even crying. Why is grandfather only scolding you? Are you picked up by grandpa? Mom said that only children who have been picked up won't be doted on by mom and dad. "
"Don't speak nonsense" Ning Xiaoyi simply stopped Shuoshuo from speaking further.
"I'm just speaking the truth. I'm not wrong!" Shuoshuo's stubborn personality exploded. He raised his head and looked at Ning Xiaoyi, unwilling to admit his mistake.
Bai Yaoguo's heart stirred. What the child said was the truth, and he also felt guilty about the accusation from his little girl just now.
Bai Qiuwan shot a cold glance at Shuoshuo.
As the mediator, she was very angry in her heart, but no matter what, she was born from a husband. In this world, only blood could be cut, and when she was young, she was young and angry, but now, she could only hope to live the rest of her life peacefully with Bai Yaoguo.
Bai Chuxia did not want to continue entangled with her on this matter. Bai Qiuwan was the same as well, it would not benefit her if this matter were to spread.
Everyone silently picked up their chopsticks to start eating again. After this farce, their appetite would definitely not be as good. Therefore, even though the food was very sumptuous, it was still as good as chewing wax.
After dinner, Bai Chuxia and Ning Xiaoyi went upstairs again. They stayed upstairs, feeling even more frustrated.
Shuoshuo played around for a while, after showering, he went to bed. With his mother and aunty accompanying him, he quickly fell asleep.
"You must be feeling really bad right now, it's okay. Think about how difficult it was for us to endure all these years. What else can't we go through, be happy about it." Sitting on the edge of the bed, Ning Xiaoyi pulled Bai Chuxia's hand and comforted her.
Bai Chuxia laughed bitterly: "If I were to say that I am fine now, you would definitely not believe me, right? But just like you said, there is nothing that I cannot pass through, I want to sleep, then I will be fine tomorrow. Tonight, can you let Shuoshuo accompany me to sleep for the night?"
"Of course!" Ning Xiaoyi replied with a smile. Seeing that it was already late, she got up and said, "You're tired too, rest early. I'm going back to my room."
"En!" Bai Chuxia nodded and watched Ning Xiaoyi leave the room. She walked over to lock the door, it was truly ironic, to think that she would be so cautious in locking the door to death in her own home.
Returning to the bedside, she laid down and slept by Shuoshuo's side. She crawled into the blanket and hugged his little body, then lowered her head to smell his fragrant and soft hair.
In the other room, Ji Lin and Bai Yaoguo had both slept under the blanket. Ji Lin then pushed the blanket away, "Che didn't even eat dinner, I wonder if he's hungry. I'll go take a look at him."
"Go! "If you don't look at your precious son, you won't be able to sleep at night," Bai Yaoguo said with a warm smile as he wore reading glasses and leaned against the bed.
Ji Lin smiled lightly, put on some clothes and walked to Ji Yeche's room. He turned around the room and realized that it was locked, it seemed that he had really fallen asleep. Before his son slept, the room would not be locked.
Sighing lightly, she turned around and returned to her room. When she passed by Bai Qiuwan's room, she stopped and thought for a moment.
"No!" Someone inside replied. Without waiting for Ji Lin to open the door, the door opened from the inside, Bai Qiuwan was wearing her suspenders pajamas, on her wrist, her entire body's condition could be clearly seen, she sweetly smiled and said, "Mom, it's so late, why aren't you asleep yet, come in."
Ji Lin walked inside. She was not blind, how could she not see the wounds on the tender skin. She looked at her body from head to toe. How could Chuxia beat you to such a state? Silly child, why didn't you tell your father earlier, she is too lawless. "
"Mom, please don't tell daddy about this. No matter how bad Chuxia is, she's still my little sister. Even if she beats me to death, I won't blame her," Bai Qiuwan said weakly, stroking the wounds on her body.
"You can tell me now, why did she hit you?" Due to Bai Yaoguo's presence earlier, if it was really because of Che Che, then it wouldn't be good for him to do it, so he endured until now to ask. It was me.
Bai Qiuwan walked to the chair and sat down as he calculated in his heart. He tried to say "Mom, you are so smart, you must have thought of something in your heart, right?"
"Is it really because of Che?" Hearing her words, Ji Lin was 100% sure.
"I saw Che going up the stairs, so I also quietly followed him with eyes filled with grievance and sadness, trying to persuade him to stop being stubborn. You know that he is about to choose the chairman, I'm really worried, if others were to find out that they are dating, it will affect his future. When I went in, Hou Che was changing his clothes, and when Chuxia came in later on, thinking that I was with Che, he would rush over and beat me up.
"How preposterous! "Is she that shameless again? She seduced Che herself and did such an immoral thing, she even wrongly accused you, just like her, of putting your heart into thinking about Che's future, but she only thinks about how to take him for yourself. I can't spare them, you can't persuade my mother not to blame you, I'll handle this matter …" Ji Lin was extremely indignant in his heart, and towards Chuxia, she could no longer remain silent.
Under Bai Qiuwan's docile skin, the complacency in her eyes became even stronger. If she couldn't get it, then no one could.
