Lei Yong asked, amused, “Miss Su, Bai Jing is a part of our family. Of course, she’ll follow us home.”
“She’s not a part of your family. You don’t even treat her well. From now on, she’s living with my family and severing all ties with you,” Su Yue said, tilting her chin upwards. “Her father is my third brother’s benefactor, so my family should have been the ones taking care of her since the start.”
If she had known that Bai Jing’s stepfamily wouldn’t treat her well, she would have pleaded her third brother and third sister-in-law to make her stay with them from the start.
“Miss Su, there has to be a misunderstanding. How could we not treat Bai Jing as a family?” asked Lei Yong, with his hand on Zhang Lihong’s elbow. He smiled and said, “She’s Bai Jing’s biological mother. Who can be closer to her than her own mother?”
Su Yue couldn’t find a reply.
A child is always cherished by his mother, but…
But… Something crossed Su Yue’s mind and her expression darkened. She looked at him coolly and said, “A child is not only cherished by his mother. Some biological mothers are worse than stepmothers.”
She clenched her fist tightly on her side.
“Miss Su, I don’t know what caused you to misunderstand us,” Lei Yong said, adjusting his blazer. He puffed out his chest, trying to look gentlemanly. “Has Bai Jing not been treated like a princess since she joined our family?”
Indeed, they had given Bai Jing branded clothes—luxurious brands that she never knew even existed—since she joined their family.
But, so what?
Su Yue coldly stared at him, not bothering to conceal her disgust and annoyance. “Don’t think that I don’t know about how you made Bai Jing drink with old men and made use of her for monetary gain. You guys are filthy.”
Lei Yong’s expression changed when he heard it. But he immediately smiled. “Did Bai Jing tell you this?”
He then lifted his eyebrow and cast his gaze towards Bai Jing, whose head was bowed. A cold gleam flashed across his eyes.
Bai Jing seemed to feel the coldness directed at her, so she lifted her head. Her eyes met Lei Yong’s and shock filled her bright eyes, she then clenched her teeth.
“Why are you so annoying?” Su Yue didn’t wish to say anything further. She pushed Lei Yong towards the door. “Get out.”
Bai Jing had already changed a little since she entered their home. If she were to stay on any longer, she would definitely change even more.
She didn’t want Bai Jing to change. She didn’t want Bai Jing to be subjected to weird stares, especially the likes of when her scandal got leaked.
Lei Yong’s expression changed. “Miss Su, that’s not right. I’m Bai Jing’s older brother and I’m here to visit my younger sister. What does this have to do with you?”
Su Yue ignored him and continued pushing him out. “Bai Jing doesn’t want to see you.”
Lei Yong suddenly grabbed Su Yue’s wrist. Her thin wrist and delicate skin were delightful to the touch.
Lei Yong stared at Su Yue with a lewd smile on his face. He feigned irritation and refused to let go of her wrist. “Then let Bai Jing say it herself.”
Su Yue turned to look at Bai Jing. “Bai Jing, do you wish to see them?”
Bai Jing kept her head bowed and Su Yue thought that she was too frightened.
Su Yue pressed on. “Bai Jing, you don’t have to be afraid. My third brother and third sister-in-law will help you.”
