Ye Shengge was long prepared.
Thus, she took a deep breath when she saw Xu Shaoqing reaching out to her. She took two steps back to avoid being touched, and Sister Xiu rushed forward to hold her.
Ji Shiting, who had just walked out of the study, saw everything.
“Shengge?” He looked furious.
Downstairs, Ye Shengge put her hands on her belly with lingering fears. Fortunately, she had reacted fast enough. If Xu Shaoqing had really pushed her and caused her to fall, the consequences would have been dire.
“Auntie, you know I’m pregnant, yet you’re still so reckless,” Ye Shengge said. “What intentions are you harboring?”
Xu Shaoqing looked upset. “Who asked you to stop me?”
Ji Shiting walked to them and hugged Ye Shengge. He looked worried and afraid as he reached out to pull Ye Shengge into his arms.
“I’m fine,” Ye Shengge said with a bright smile. “Don’t be afraid. I’m not that weak.”
Ji Shiting relaxed a bit. He had seen her dodging, but he still needed to see that she was fine before he could feel at ease.
He hugged Ye Shengge and looked at Xu Shaoqing coldly with austerity. “Mom, why did you do that? You know Shengge is pregnant.”
Xu Shaoqing’s eyes turned red as Ji Shiting questioned her. She was furious and aggrieved.
“Shiting, do you still regard me as your mother? I just wanted to go upstairs to look for you but that woman stopped me. Why don’t you ask her what she was trying to do? I lost my composure because I was too angry. Besides, I didn’t even touch her!” Xu Shaoqing glared at Ye Shengge.
Ji Shiting’s face turned sullen upon seeing that she wasn’t just trying to shirk responsibility, but was also hostile toward Ye Shengge.
“Don’t come here again, Mom.”
Xu Shaoqing looked at him in disbelief. “Shiting! Do you think I did it on purpose?”
“I know you didn’t do it on purpose,” Ji Shiting said coldly. “But you didn’t care about the baby she’s carrying at all. Have you forgotten that it’s my child, who’s also your grandchild?”
Xu Shaoqing was rendered speechless, but her eyes turned redder. She bit her lips and tried to hold back her tears.
Ye Shengge couldn’t help sighing at how beautiful she was. She was almost fifty years old, yet she still looked pretty when she was about to cry.
“Okay, I’ll apologize to you.” Xu Shaoqing had no choice but to compromise. “Shiting, I was careless just now. Don’t be mad.”
“Shengge is the one you need to apologize to.” Ji Shiting put his hand on Ye Shengge’s waist and looked at her comfortingly.
Ye Shengge blinked at him, feeling heartened.
“Shiting!” Xu Shaoqing was shaking with anger. “Are you going to humiliate me just to make that woman happy?”
“Please leave if you don’t want to apologize.” Ji Shiting looked even more aloof.
“You…” Xu Shaoqing had never seen Ji Shiting treat her so coldly. Her heart ached, and she gritted her teeth before she said,” Shiting, I have something to tell you. ”
“Forget it if it’s about Xie Siqi.” Ji Shiting looked impatient.
Xu Shaoqing was furious and aggrieved to see how impatient her son was.
