As soon as Ye Wanwan connected the call, she heard Su Xiangyi’s voice thundering through the phone, "Ye Wanwan! Do you even know what you’re doing!"
Ye Wanwan didn’t dare to speak, and Su Xiangyi continued, "Such a big issue, why didn’t you tell me when you came home yesterday? Ye Shiying was right there, weren’t you afraid she’d hit you?"
"You even followed her to the restroom when she went, and I was wondering at the time, you two don’t get along, so why did you follow her!"
"Now I know, you went to ask her, didn’t you!"
"Mom~" Ye Wanwan called out softly.
"Don’t call me mom! You’re so capable now, hiding such things from your family. Do you know your father and I were almost scared to death when we heard about this!"
"If something really happened to you, what would we do!"
Su Xiangyi’s voice wasn’t loud, but it was very stern; it was the first time she had spoken to Ye Wanwan in such a strict tone.
When Wanwan was little, she and her husband were busy with work and let her live in the old mansion for a while.
Her health was ruined when she gave birth to Wanwan, and she couldn’t have more children; at that time, she didn’t know the old lady wasn’t satisfied that she had a girl, and since she couldn’t have more, the old lady was even less pleased with Wanwan.
As a result, Wanwan was often scolded by the old lady while at the old mansion and bullied by Ye Zhenlin’s two children.
Only when she and her husband had free time to visit Wanwan did they realize how gaunt Wanwan had become; the house had plenty of food, yet their daughter looked malnourished, and even her personality had become timid and cowardly.
The little girl, who used to cry and act spoiled, now didn’t dare to shed tears even in their presence, only daring to redden her eyes.
She could understand a child’s unclear values but couldn’t forgive Ye Zhenlin and his wife for turning a blind eye and letting Wanwan be bullied, and even less forgive the old lady, because it was her tacit approval that allowed all this.
Later, she took Wanwan away, cared for her herself, and slowly Wanwan began to recover.
She and her husband protected Wanwan; whatever Wanwan wanted, they provided, never letting her experience any unhappiness or bullying again.
But now, she hadn’t expected her daughter to be unaware of even this kind of danger!
Ye Wanwan could only hear Su Xiangyi’s slightly heavy breathing. Her eyes reddened, filled with apology; she always made people worry so much.
"I’m sorry, Mom." Ye Wanwan said, holding back her tears.
She just didn’t understand what Ye Shiying wanted to do, nor had she ever faced such a situation, unaware of how to handle it.
More importantly, she didn’t know how to explain where Ye Shiying’s hatred for her had come from.
On the phone, Su Xiangyi took a deep breath and said in a heavy tone, "Shen Yi will only be back tomorrow; pack up, and come home right after."
Only when home, under her own watchful eye, could Su Xiangyi feel at ease.
"Okay." Ye Wanwan didn’t dare to say it was too much trouble and obediently agreed.
"You don’t have much to pack anyway; come over right now, and have dinner at home," Su Xiangyi changed her words.
She was so anxious; she wanted to see Ye Wanwan as soon as possible.
"Okay." Ye Wanwan continued to agree.
Hearing Ye Wanwan’s compliant voice, Su Xiangyi felt so frustrated she could burst; what compliance, it was all an act!
This huge matter was too casually hidden, and Su Xiangyi urged more sharply, "Hurry up!"
