"So, it's very likely that Xiao Xi doesn't have a mother anymore."
Zhong Hailan's heart grew heavy at the thought. No wonder she doesn't seem like someone short of money, yet here with us, even the smallest surprise makes her as happy as a child. And sometimes, she keeps thanking me even when I haven't really done anything.
"That child Xiao Xi… You little rascal, I'm warning you. If you dare to bully her in the future, I'll never let you get away with it."
Zhong Hailan glared at her son as if he were the scoundrel who had tricked her own daughter away.
"Mom, when have I ever bullied her?"
"How would I know if you've been secretly bullying her when I'm not looking? Xiao Xi isn't the type of kid who tattles."
"Mom, are you still watching 'Empresses in the Palace'? If not, I'm changing the channel."
Hearing this, Zhong Hailan quickly stopped him.
"I'm watching, I'm watching! You little rascal, if you dare change the channel, watch me break your paws."
