Because of the unpleasant incident during the day, Xiao i stayed in her room for a long ti without coming out. After Xu Juan confird that her grandson was okay, she did not bother with Xiao i anymore. As long as her grandson was fine, she really didn’t care much about how Xiao i was.
"Ugh! Disgusting woman!" Xiao i’s mom glared darkly at the door, spitting towards the door that Xu Juan had already closed.
"Mom, keep your voice down, don’t let others hear you." Xiao i’s voice was weak.
After hearing Xiao i, her mom looked at her, "Were you faking that stomachache just now?"
Xiao i nodded, "Yeah."
"Are you crazy!" The woman exclaid, then walked to the door, opened it and looked outside. After confirming there was no one, she closed the door and walked back, accusing, "Don’t you know what’s going on with that piece of flesh in your belly? At first, I thought there was really sothing wrong with your belly. I was thinking it might be a good thing if the child was lost, so you could take advantage to stay here. I didn’t expect you were pretending!"
"What’s wrong with my piece of flesh!" Xiao i instinctively covered her belly, "This is my child, also your grandchild, why are you and Dad treating him like he doesn’t matter?"
Her mother was stunned; after all, having been a mother, when Xiao i said this, her face turned sour, "But this child isn’t Yu Bin’s."
"Mom, stop talking!" Xiao i seemingly didn’t want to continue this topic.
"Tell the truth, what were you doing in Bai Yiran’s bedroom today? I know you best, once you make a mistake, you try to cover it with sothing else. Bai Yiran and Xu Juan didn’t say anything today, but you definitely did sothing. Tell honestly!"
Xiao i looked up at her mother, her face flushed, eyes full of reluctance, and said softly, "I just wanted to see her ring in her room. I’ve never seen such a big diamond before, and wanted to try it on."
"Are you silly!" Her mother poked Xiao i’s forehead, "What’s a broken ring worth? The most valuable thing in this family isn’t the ring, it’s the person! It’s Leng Yichen!"
Seeing her mother’s words, Xiao i’s expression turned a bit unpleasant, "Mom, what do you and Dad take for? I am your daughter, not soone for sale!"
Although Xiao i also found Leng Yichen to be excellent and charming, every ti she heard her parents say such things, she felt very lowly, just like those classmates back in school who wagged their tails begging for the rich girl’s favor. Back then, she looked down on those classmates the most. But now, when thinking deeply, how was she any different from those classmates?
"You, you’re just as stubborn as your dad, always wanting everything but caring about face. It’s fortunate your dad wasn’t here today, otherwise, he would’ve certainly scolded you. You should find your focus, stop coveting Bai Yiran’s things. If you really succeed, won’t those things all be yours sooner or later?"
Xiao i felt her parents were oversimplifying things; not to ntion she had no real chance to get close to Leng Yichen, even if she did, it would be when Bai Yiran was around. Was she supposed to fight with her belly sticking out?
Xiao i bit her lip, said nothing, her thoughts secretly fixated on Bai Yiran’s ring. She genuinely liked it, and really wanted to try it on, even if just once.
