Chapter 72 -72: Why does it feel a bit fake?

“Mom?” The group pet’s tiny body shook, almost causing her to fall, but Bai Da quickly caught her.

Even so, the group pet felt an intense pain in her heart, as if she were about to die.

“Mom”, calling her Nan Xi. Such a strange title, was it reminding her that she was no longer the daughter of the house?

Had the gentle mother, who used to coax her to sleep, gone forever?

“Xiuxiu, Xixi didn’t mean to pressure Bai Zhi. It has always been Xixi who is bullied. This is also why I’ve neglected Bai Zhi. She’s too assertive, and I didn’t realize she should get along with her sister.”

Bai Da, unable to bear the sight of the group pet’s pain, couldn’t help but explain.

“So it’s all my Xingxing’s fault? Bai Da, do you think I would still believe you? Let’s not talk about the past, just the current situation. She can casually say that she wants to leave because her sister minds her presence, and that alone could drown Xingxing in saliva.”

Ye Xiu looked at the group pet coldly. She used to think she was sensible and obedient, but now, why did she seem a bit false?

She keeps saying she wants to apologize to Xingxing, but isn’t every word forcing Xingxing into a corner? Now, she’s even digging a hole for Xingxing.

“I don’t have a mom. That’s not what I meant. I just wanted to…”

“Don’t even think about it.” Ye Xiu coldly cut off the group pet’s words, looking indifferently at the four of them, father and son, father and daughter.

“Look at that united front in your eyes. You are a family. Xingxing and I are outsiders. Ask yourselves, has Xingxing ever said a word about wanting to drive Nan Xi away?

“For all these years, the food you eat, the clothes you wear, hasn’t it all been taken care of by Xingxing?

If she really dislikes you, why would she do all that? Does she have nothing better to do? Or does she not want to play games or have friends?

So don’t fabricate drama for yourselves or try to label my daughter. Bai Da, if I hear even one person saying that Xingxing has treated Nan Xi badly, I’ll divorce you. You can live on your own, and I’ll take my daughter with me.”

Ye Xiu didn’t raise her voice. She was calm. In fact, when a person is furious to the extreme, they don’t shout or scream.

Instead, they become calm, rational.

How rational? Even while shaking with anger, she closely observed everyone’s expressions.

Bai Yu and Bai Ye were shocked, perhaps because they had never seen her like this?

Nan Xi seemed to be hurt, but what right did she have to feel hurt? Ye Xiu didn’t quite understand. Nan Xi hadn’t contributed anything, but she had received so much more from Bai Da and his family than Xingxing ever did. Wasn’t that enough?

As for Bai Da, his expression was one of disbelief and then filled with tremendous panic. He felt as if his whole world was collapsing.

“No!”

Bai Da’s despairing shout was like that of a desperate beast, ready to attack at any moment.

“Xiuxiu, Xiuxiu, don’t say such things. You absolutely can’t!”

Divorce was not an option, absolutely not.

He had promised that he would make Xiuxiu happy, hadn’t he?

“Then, keep your distance from Xingxing. You can’t give her love. Just stay away from her.”

“Okay, I agree, I agree. I will definitely not let them bother Bai Zhi again, never. So, can you take back those words? Can you?”

This wasn’t the past. Divorce, such a frightening concept. How could he possibly lose Xiuxiu?

“Fine, I’m leaving. You all take care of yourselves. I’m going back to school.”

Ye Xiu had also been frightened by Bai Da’s look just now. That look of despair and danger, as if he would drag her down to Hell with him.

“May I escort you?”

Bai Da resumed his cautious demeanor, fearing Ye Xiu wouldn’t agree.

Had she not witnessed it with her own eyes, she might not have believed that the honest and simple Bai Da could have such a look in his eyes.

It made her feel that the person who had been with her for so many years was so alien.

“Okay, but the children.”

Ye Xiu glanced at the children who were equally terrified and sighed. When had they ever seen her argue with Bai Da?

“Bai Yu, Bai Ye, I hope you know that Xingxing is also my child. I love you, but I also love her. When you ostracized her before, did you ever consider how scared, how upset she was, huh?

No one washed your clothes, and you thought of her, no one cooked meals, and you thought of her. No one fed the pig, and you remembered her. So why didn’t you ever think of her kindness? Now, do you still think those household chores are easy?”

Tears involuntarily fell again as Ye Xiu’s nose turned sour, her heart aching terribly.

Really, it hurt so much, every day brought new wounds,

When they went out to play, when they chased butterflies, when they followed Bai Da to find her.

What was Xingxing doing?

Cutting grass for the pigs, or working in the fields?

The various dresses on Nan Xi seemed pretty to her before, but now they were glaring.

Bai Da cheerfully introduced her to colleagues as his daughter, and she felt it was wonderful. But where was her Xingxing at that time?

Ye Xiu wiped away her tears,

“I was wrong, Bai Yu, Bai Ye, you’ll have to take care of yourselves now. As for Xixi, please stop hurting my daughter with your self-righteousness. She has a mother too, and her mother can feel pain and heartache.”

She truly hated, especially hated, that past self who had doted on Nan Xi excessively.

Nan Xi was like a little princess showered with love, while her Xingxing was like a refugee.

“Mom, I didn’t, I didn’t…”

The group pet clutched her chest, tears streaming down her face, only able to repeat this sentence over and over.

“Mom, you can’t do this, Xixi hasn’t done anything wrong, it has always been Bai Zhi who’s especially domineering, wanting to snatch things you bought for Xixi.”

“Slap…”

Ye Xiu, without hesitation, slapped Bai Ye across the face, her gaze cold.

If Nan Xi was someone else’s daughter and couldn’t be hit, then Bai Ye, as her own child, could be disciplined.

“What do you mean ‘snatching things we bought for Xixi’? Xingxing deserved a share! After all she’s done, what’s so wrong about wanting a piece of candy? You didn’t offer it to her willingly, and you still have the nerve to accuse?”

Ye Xiu’s coldness and ruthlessness widened Bai Ye’s eyes, tears swirling in them, with a strong sense of injustice.

“Don’t think you’ve done nothing wrong, Bai Ye. She’s your sister. If she’s wrong, don’t you know how to speak nicely? You only know how to complain but never consider her feelings.

From now on, all you need to do is not bother her. Understand?”

“Understood.”

Bai Yu replied sullenly, speaking up when Bai Ye remained silent.

“Bai Yu, take good care of your brother and sister, and don’t go troubling Xingxing.”

Ye Xiu knew that if Bai Yu wished, he could keep them in line.
