Chapter 909: Who Else Would Be a Better Stepmother?
Han Qing walked over and led her grandson by his hand. She sounded equally displeased and annoyed as she said, “Ye Hao, how could you say such things? Your mother would know how well Xiao Xue has treated Xi Xi.” She then looked at Xi Xi and said, “Xiao Xue would always buy clothes and toys for Xi Xi every ti she goes shopping but Xi Xi always refuses to wear them. Every ti Xi Xi bullies Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu never once sternly reprimanded Xi Xi. When Xi Xi had a stomach ache the last ti you weren’t around, Xiao Xue was the one who drove her to the hospital in the middle of the night. If you call this ‘bullying’, then could you let know what would be considered not ‘bullying’?”
“Let ask you, how many stepmothers would be able to do as much as Xiao Xue has done for Xi Xi?”
Han Qing made an eloquent speech and she was not afraid of falling out with Ye Hao as long as Chenyu was with her. Moreover, her daughter might dislike Ye Zixi, the little brat that He Xiyan had left behind but she knew that her daughter had never once hit that brat and in fact, she had done her duty as a stepmother.
Ye Hao frowned and the anger that blazed in his eyes did not fade away. He knew that Han Xue had indeed bought many toys for Xi Xi but Xi Xi had never played with them. He also knew that although she wasn’t close to Xi Xi, she had never hit nor scolded the child.
He knew that Xi Xi instinctively hated Han Xue and she hated Han Xue since the day she moved into the castle.
Xia Jingshu stepped in and said, “Ah Hao, you’re too protective of Xi Xi and you’re absent so often that you don’t even know how unruly Xi Xi has beco. She would argue with on several occasions and would often bully Xiao Yu. If she doesn’t like the toys that Han Xue had given her, she would throw them into the bin and even said that they were all rubbish.”
Xia Jingshu pointed out all of her granddaughter’s faults and thought that this child had truly gone out of hand. Her granddaughter didn’t use to behave so terribly in the past.
Ye Hao looked at his mother and said, “Mom, don’t you know why Xi Xi is behaving this way?”
Ye Hao was livid and he beca angrier when he rembered that his family wouldn’t have turned out this way if it wasn’t for the fact that his mother was dead set on acknowledging Xiao Yu as his son.
Xi Xi was still sobbing and she bit her lip hard as she eked out through her sobs, “Dad, let’s go. Let’s ignore them all.”
She thought that her grandmother and Aunty Han were all extrely annoying.
She hated them all. It didn’t matter whether or not they bullied her, she just didn’t like them.
Xia Jingshu panted breathlessly and felt her chest constrict painfully. It was one thing for her granddaughter to contradict her but now her only son was also contradicting her. This was the second ti this month that they had argued. The first ti they clashed was because she allowed Han Xue to burn He Xiyan’s belongings in the castle. Her son had blown his top and he was arguing with her this ti because she had slapped Xi Xi.
She was extrely annoyed and couldn’t understand why her family had beco this way.
Ye Hao stopped speaking when he saw that his mother was feeling unwell. He was still angry but he couldn’t bear to hurt his mother. After all, his mother had raised him single-handedly and even treasured him more than her life itself.
“Mom, are you alright?” Ye Hao walked toward his mother and looked at her pale complexion.
Xia Jingshu shook her head and let out a long sigh. She was extrely annoyed by all the unrest at ho and even started to regret her decision to allow Han Xue to move in. Her decision had affected the close relationship she had once shared with her son.
