She knelt down inexplicably, then started to cry, her first words were, "I’m sorry."
Ye Xiu felt that this girl wasn’t just ordinarily formidable, and what was even more formidable was that she hadn’t realized before that there might be anything amiss.
Perhaps it was because her tactics hadn’t been used on herself that she always thought Nan Xi was well-behaved.
Indeed, she was very well-behaved, every time she came back, she either massaged her shoulders or pounded her back, otherwise she was telling her the happy events from school.
The long-exhausted Ye Xiu always hoped everything was fine at home, or rather, she wanted to hear good news. Naturally, she liked Nan Xi,
but now, looking at her in this state. Not to mention Xingxing, even she felt repulsed.
This was nothing more than trying to make others think that she wasn’t a good mother, nor was she a good wife, but actually, she didn’t care.
"Mom, listen to me, don’t go."
Upon hearing this sentence, the group pet hurried forward, trying to grab Ye Xiu’s hand, but she stopped in fear when she saw Bai Zhi.
"Don’t tell me you know. Everyone knows how well I’ve treated you. I haven’t bought my own daughter many things, but you, I’ve bought everything for you. I believe I haven’t wronged you, the one I’ve wronged is my own daughter.
Bai Da always said that we should treat you like our own daughter so that you feel secure, but what about my daughter?"
Ye Xiu’s nose was especially sour. She was so foolish not to have seen that her daughter was not doing well, but this person who was doing well was crying here.
She thought that her daughter wouldn’t forgive her, but at that moment, Xingxing unhesitatingly rushed over and stood by her side.
It warmed her heart immensely, even if everyone else was criticizing her at that moment, she wasn’t afraid.
She had Xingxing, that was enough.
Xingxing called her, "Mom."
Bai Zhi blinked. Why did Ye Xiu’s gaze suddenly become so fervent? She hadn’t done anything, had she?
It was just a pure dislike for seeing the group pet start her antics again.
The group pet’s eyes reddened even more. She had been motherless since she was little, and it was Ye Xiu who made her feel like she had a mother. Why, why now, did she want to abandon her? Just because she wasn’t her biological child?
If that was the case, then she didn’t need her either. From now on, she would only have her dad.
Indeed, "mom" wasn’t really a nice word, was it?
Even if she was liked, it wouldn’t last.
"Mom, what if I said, I never intended to hurt my sister, would you believe me?"
The group pet smiled bitterly, even though she was clearly heartbroken, yet she stubbornly made herself appear as if nothing was wrong.
Bai Ye and Bai Yu supported her, feeling her body trembling. Xixi, she was very scared, very sad. Very upset.
"I believe you, but the fact is that you’ve hurt her."
Ye Xiu’s expression was indifferent, not angry, just calmly looking at the group pet.
Compared to her sobbing and wailing, there was a clear contrast; the group pet seemed like a noisy child. At first glance, she might seem justified, but in fact, she was just seeking attention.
"That’s not the point, what exactly do you want to say now?"
What did she want to say? The group pet was a bit bewildered, in the past, as long as she cried, everyone would comfort her, and she didn’t have to do anything, but now, she suddenly didn’t know what to say.
"Mom, we just want to tell you something about Dad."
Bai Yu spoke up, continuing on behalf of the group pet.
"Right, right, right, Mom—if it’s because of me that you and Dad argued, I apologize, please forgive Dad, okay? Dad has been in distress every day, working non-stop day and night, and he has even collapsed from exhaustion, Mom, I’m begging you."
