As for Xi Xinyi, Xi Xiaye did not feel much about her anymore. She was content just maintaining the current peace.
When Xi Xiaye said that, Xi Mushan’s steadfast face froze as he subconsciously turned to look at Shen Wenna who sat beside him. Meanwhile, Shen Wenna just looked on with an indifferent expression. She stopped what she was doing, thought about it for a moment, then sighed.
“I’ve thought about this too. Yue Lingsi has been wanting to meet me too. She previously called me with the help of someone at the sanatorium, but I didn’t respond to her because I didn’t think there was a need to meet up, but now that you’ve brought it up, what else can I say?”
At this, Shen Wenna lowered her gaze, took a sip, and sighed. “I can’t forgive her. Because of her, our family wasted more than 20 years, and now that we’re together again, you’re all grown up. There aren’t many 20 years in a lifetime.”
“Alright, Xiaye, I know what you’re saying. I already wanted to talk to your father about this, I planned to visit her when we got back. Now’s a good time too, let’s go visit her tomorrow, you don’t have to worry about this,” Shen Wenna said.
Xi Xiaye was glad. “Mmm, I don’t have much time to worry too much about this either.”
“Are Lingshi and Gu Lingsha really siblings? How did that happen?” Shen Wenna asked, concerned.
“Mmm, there’s no doubt about that. Ah Chen did a DNA test for Gu Qiwu and Lingshi. In fact, their divorce is about to go to court soon. I think it will be quite exciting.”
Xi Xiaye put her glass of water down and got up slowly. “Alright, Father, Mother, I’ll let you see us out then. Even though it’s going to be quite busy once university starts again, don’t forget to come home often to visit. Xiao Rui’s going back to school soon again. I’m worried that Grandpa will be bored alone at home. It’s not early anymore, so I’ll go home now with Xiao Rui.”
Then, she gently reached out to carry Zirui who was sound asleep on the sofa. Xi Mushan went over to help while Xi Xiaye then carried Mu Zirui on her back, and with one hand holding his schoolbag, she went out.
“I kept some of the dishes from earlier for you. Take them along. We also brought back some local specialties from Europe for you to take home. The day after tomorrow, your father and I will visit Xiao Cheng. Don’t wear yourself out too much. I can see that you’ve grown thinner. Oh, right, I tailor-made two mid-length sleeves qipao before this. They should be about done now, so I’ll bring them over for you…”
Shen Wenna got up and began moving around as she held various sizes of bags and followed Xi Xiaye out. They were all things for Xi Xiaye to bring home.
“Mother—”
Mu Zirui was sleeping in a daze on Xi Xiaye’s back.
“Hmm? Sleep, we’re going home.”
“Mother, if Father’s not around, can I sleep with you and little brother?” Mu Zirui rubbed his sleepy eyes with his little hands as he asked.
Xi Xiaye laughed gently. “Of course! Your little brother’s not that little anymore. You’ll be able to sleep with little brother more often from now on. Also, you’re the older brother. You have to take good care of your little brother. You two brothers need to be united. That way, you won’t get bullied, got it?”
Mu Zirui nodded, half-understanding. “Mmm! Mother, don’t worry. Xiao Rui will definitely eat properly and grow to be strong like Father to protect you and little brother…Oh, right, Mother, why does Xiao Rui only have a brother and no little sister? Can you and Father get me a little sister?”
“Have another one? Well, that depends on whether your father’s willing…”
Mu Zirui was very sensible and obedient too, thus Xi Xiaye did not have to worry about him.
Compared to Xi Xiaye, Gu Lingsha, who was also a mother to a child, did not seem to have it as easy as Xi Xiaye.
On the same night with glorious lights, inside the large and luxurious Qi residence, a pale Gu Lingsha endured the pain from her leg as she carefully inched towards the sofa.
Xi Xiaye’s leg made her suffer. Thankfully, it was not a fracture. Otherwise, she could not guarantee that she would not rush to see Xi Xiaye immediately.
At this moment, Qi Weier was also sitting on the sofa without moving. Her eyes were fixated on the television screen and she did not care that Gu Lingsha had sat beside her.
“Weiwei, come, let Mother help you do your revision. School’s starting soon, but you’ve barely done any of the holiday homework.”
Gu Lingsha bent down with difficulty and picked up Qi Weier’s holiday homework from beneath the coffee table as she held the young girl.
However, Gu Lingsha had just touched Qi Weier’s hand when the young girl subconsciously shrieked. She stood up and looked vigilantly at Gu Lingsha with a gaze…
Gu Lingsha could not help but feel hurt!
Qi Weier had been receiving treatment from a psychologist, so she had been speaking more and she seemed more cheerful, but for some reason, she was still on guard against Gu Lingsha. Instead, she was less afraid of Qi Qiming and the butler.
Gu Lingsha felt defeated and very sad. When it came to Qi Weier, she had put in a lot of thought, and the reason she chose to study psychology was largely because of Qi Weier’s illness.
“Weiwei! Don’t be afraid of Mother. I won’t hurt you. Be good…”
Qi Weier shrunk as she shook her head and refused to go over.
“Mother wasn’t trying to be harsh earlier. The aunty who gave you the umbrella isn’t a good person, so the next time you see her, ignore her. She will hurt you when Father and Mother aren’t around. Do you understand?” Gu Lingsh did not give up as she advised again. She did not know why Qi Weier seemed to really like Xi Xiaye, and was very much against her own mother instead.
Qi Weier did not say anything. She only widened her dull eyes as she looked at Gu Lingsha with a gaze that was filled with timidness and vigilance.
“Weiwei! Do you hear what Mother’s saying? She’s not a good person. The person who hurt Mother’s leg like this was her. She will hurt you too! Listen to Mother. Ignore her the next time, understand?”
Qi Weier widened her eyes and stared at Gu Lingsha. She hugged her Barbie doll tightly and trembled slightly as she accused her, “Bad person! You’re a bad person!”
When Qi Weier said that, Gu Lingsha felt hurt once again and her expression sank. “Weiwei, I’m not a bad person. I’m your mother! I won’t hurt you. Come, come to Mother.”
Qi Weier shook her head hard. She was on guard as she looked at Gu Lingsha warily.
Gu Lingsha felt like her patience had run out, so she could not help but raise her voice, “Come here!”
