Chapter 1070: She Gave Her the Cold Shoulder
Did hell freeze over today?
Xi Xi jumped up in agitation when she heard that her grandmother wanted to bring her home.
“Grandma, I’m not leaving. This is my home,” Xi Xi was unwilling to leave with her grandmother because she didn’t like anyone at the Ye family home.
Xia Jingshu’s breath caught in her throat and her granddaughter’s words made her feel very upset. However, she could not blame anyone but herself because she had brought it upon herself.
“Xi Xi…” Xia Jingshu said with an awkward smile, “Won’t you come home with me? Aunty Han and Ye Chenyu have both left.”
Xi Xi’s eyes widened and she looked both surprised and curious.
Had those two irritating people truly left? Nonetheless, she wouldn’t go back even if they had left.
“Grandma, I want to live with my mother and I wouldn’t leave with you,” Xi Xi said cheekily and stuck her tongue out at her grandmother. Xia Jingshu wanted to swoon when she saw how ill-mannered the child was.
“Xi Xi…” Xia Jingshu started but Xi Xi had already gone upstairs to play with her brother.
Xia Jingshu hovered awkwardly at the doorway and her forehead had already beaded with cold sweat while she looked a little pale.
She looked at He Xiyan and hoped that her ex-daughter-in-law would consent to her taking Xi Xi away.
“Yan Yan…” Xia Jingshu said with an awkward smile.
He Xiyan frowned and looked at her coldly. She was put off by Xia Jingshu’s behavior and didn’t understand what she was trying to do.
“Auntie Xia, you saw your granddaughter’s reaction earlier. Why are you trying to force her to leave when she’s clearly unwilling to leave?” He Xiyan said coldly.
Her daughter often told her tales of how she was neglected by her grandmother and bullied by Han Xue after she returned from the dead.
She felt disgusted by Xia Jingshu’s act of pretending to like Xi Xi.
Was she insane?
He Xiyan didn’t know how she should respond to Xia Jingshu, so she nodded apologetically and headed into the living room.
Xia Jingshu stared after her in embarrassment and disbelief after she was given the cold shoulder by He Xiyan and Xi Xi.
Yuan Yuan was upstairs on the phone with his father Mo Yixuan.
He was extremely excited and looked like he wanted to jump with joy.
“Dad, when are you coming to pick me and my mom?” he asked loudly. His smiled brightly in excitement and his dark eyes kept blinking.
Xi Xi’s eyes widened when she heard that her brother’s father was coming to pick her brother and her mother up.
“Are you on the way? Great, let me tell mom,” Yuan Yuan replied and hung up happily.
He went downstairs and Xi Xi tailed after him.
They ran into their mother at the bottom of the stairs.
“Mom, dad said that he would bring us out to watch ‘Adventure King’,” Yuan Yuan said as he tugged on his mother’s clothes. He looked up at his mother and his excitement and happiness were reflected in his eyes.
His father was finally home after his business trip.
He Xiyan froze on the spot and her brows that had just relaxed moments ago slammed back into a frown.
She wondered why there was so much drama at home. Xia Jingshu was still lingering downstairs and now, Mo Yixuan was making his way over.
“Yuan Yuan…” she thought for a moment before she said, “You should go watch the movie with your father.” She wouldn’t go.
She didn’t want to have anything to do with both her ex-husbands, Mo Yixuan and Ye Hao.
Yuan Yuan blinked up at her in disappointment. He took her hand in hers and said pleadingly, “Mom, won’t you go? I want to watch the movie with both my parents just like my other classmates at school.”
