Qiao Man paused before continuing. “Who do you think you are? Xixi is the lady of the current Rong family, and you’re nothing!”
Rong Si’s expression became even more disdainful. To him, these were meaningless words.
Qiao Man started to say something else, but Rong Xi stopped her.
Rong Xi’s face fell, and she said in a pleading tone, “Mommy, you can’t blame him. I should have asked his opinion before calling him big brother. He’s only like this because his mother hasn’t woken up yet and he’s in a bad mood. Don’t argue with him.”
Qiao Man was speechless.
What’s wrong with this girl? Why does she keep speaking up for that brat?!
“Xixi, how can you…”
Rong Xi secretly gave her a look and begged pitifully. “Mommy, stop talking about Big Brother Rong Si. If you continue, I’m going to be angry. Big Brother Rong Si is in a bad mood now. Don’t make it worse?”
“What’s wrong with you, girl? Why do you keep defending him? Are you stupid?” Qiao Man was furious.
Does this girl know what kind of threat this kid is to her?
She knows that this is her half-brother. But doesn’t she also know that if he returns to the Rong family, he would snatch the family assets from her?
“Mommy, I already said not to make things worse. Didn’t we e here to see Auntie Song today? Then let’s visit her properly and not quarrel here. If word gets out, how embarrassing will it be?” Rong Xi persuaded her gently.
Su Jiu wanted to roll her eyes.
She is so understanding that it’s almost believable.
Fortunately, the little villain is clear-headed. He still looks at her coldly and disdainfully. His expression did not change at all because of what she had just said.
“Fine. You want to protect this kid and look at this woman, right? Then stay here. I’m leaving.”
With that, Qiao Man turned to leave.
“Mommy…” Rong Xi wanted to follow her, but turned to look at Rong Si and Song Wanqiu. She bit her lip in hesitation. In the end, she chose to stay and watch Qiao Man leave.
Rong Xi felt a sense of loss, and her face remained sullen. If it were anyone else, they might have felt protective of her.
However, Rong Si and Su Jiu remained unmoved.
Rong Xi looked up at Rong Si and bit his lip. She said weakly, “Big Brother Rong Si, my mother has a bad temper. She’s also unhappy because of my father. Can you… not argue with her? I’ll apologize to you on her behalf, okay?”
She deliberately softened her voice, making herself sound weak and harmless. Moreover, her eyes were slightly red, as if she would cry if Rong Si didn’t agree.
Su Jiu was speechless.
I want to punch this girl!
Su Jiu cleared her throat and said to her in an indiscreet manner, “I say, is there anything else? If you just want to apologize, then do so. If not, you can leave.”
“I-I sincerely apologize. Why do you want to chase me away?” Rong Xi bit her lip again, her face being even more aggrieved.
“I really wanted to e and see Auntie. I’m different from my mother. She had some conflicts with Auntie before, but I didn’t, so I don’t hate Auntie at all. I think she’s so beautiful. I also feel that she’ll definitely wake up. When I go back, I’ll pray for Auntie every day and hope that she wakes up soon.”
