Bai Zhi’s mouth twitched. What was this about? Did they want to blame her again?
The next moment, Bai Yu had already run over and helped Nan Xi up.
"Bai Zhi, how could you push Xixi?"
Bai Zhi: "..." It really was like reliving history all over again.
Bai Yu called out toward the downstairs.
"Mom, come and see for yourself, your good daughter is bullying Xixi again. Are you going to do something about it or not? It’s been since we were little, always picking on Xixi,"
Bai Yu’s accusations against Bai Zhi flowed effortlessly, without any pause.
As if he had rehearsed it by heart.
Spewing out countless of Bai Zhi’s alleged wrongdoings without needing to think.
Ye Xiu watched this scene with cold eyes. Just a moment ago, she had gone upstairs with Nan Jin because they were worried, and they hadn’t heard what Bai Zhi and Nan Xi were actually saying to each other.
But that didn’t mean they hadn’t seen anything, because they clearly had.
Xingxing hadn’t touched Nan Xi at all. Of course, Nan Xi hadn’t said so, but Bai Yu immediately began making unfounded accusations against Xingxing.
Had she believed them immediately in the past? After all, that’s what they always said, and they said it with such conviction. And Nan Xi, she wouldn’t admit it, but she wouldn’t deny it either, just crying with a particularly wronged expression.
Ye Xiu’s gaze turned to Xingxing, finding that Xingxing didn’t show any emotion, and seemed like nothing more than a spectator.
Indifferent and calm, simply watching them.
She wondered how painful it must have been for Xingxing when she was first slandered.
Ye Xiu walked over, looking at Bai Yu and Nan Xi.
"I’m asking you both, what is going on here? Nan Xi, did Xingxing push you?"
This time, she wouldn’t give Nan Xi any chance to sling mud on Xingxing. It had to be either yes or no, clear and straightforward, with no room left for hiding anything.
"Mom, don’t ask, I don’t blame my sister, really."
Nan Xi’s voice was tearful and sounded distressed, yet she still seemed magnanimous and sensible, just as before. But this time, Ye Xiu didn’t see sensibility.
All she saw was scheming, thick layers of it, so blatantly obvious.
"Nan Xi, Ah Xiu wants you to clarify the situation, not to be vague. If it happened, naturally we will have Xingxing apologize, and if not, you should be the one apologizing. Your vagueness is basically an indirect way of saying it was Xingxing, right?"
Nan Jin was disappointed, very disappointed. Although he had never held out much hope for Nan Xi, he was angered in this moment.
Under their very eyes, they had found such unfair treatment toward Xingxing.
This Nan Xi was just like her mother.
Nan Jin’s words undoubtedly brought Nan Xi to a dead end. She had to either admit it or continue her charade.
"No, Dad, I didn’t mean to make you misunderstand about my sister. I fell over by myself, and brother misunderstood."
Nan Xi clenched her teeth, not daring to gamble. Golden Needle Nan Jin was really too formidable, sometimes a single glance from him could instill fear in her.
She had no choice but to tell the truth.
But even so, in their eyes, she was no longer completely innocent.
"Then why didn’t you say that earlier? Your crying and fussing, wasn’t that intending to make us misunderstand? Nan Xi, you’ve gone too far."
Ye Xiu walked to Bai Zhi’s side, holding her hand, looking at Nan Xi with heartache.
"Nan Xi, I thought I had treated you well, but how could you treat my daughter this way? I am so disappointed in you."
