2832 Chapter 2832
“Du Jiayi, your brother is still in the Nanguang Military District and hasn’t come back. Why are you calling Qin Xiu your brother?”
Madam Li’s expression was already cold. When she saw Du Jiayi losing all restraint over Qin Xiu, her eyes darkened.
She looked coldly at Du Jiayi, who was throwing a tantrum. “Don’t do anything that will make others look down on you. Don’t do anything that will embarrass me.”
After saying that very coldly and softly, Madam Li turned around and walked toward the inpatient building.
There was no glaring or yelling during the entire process, but Du Jiayi was very afraid. She quickly chased after Madam Li and held her arm. She acted coquettishly. “Mom, I was wrong. I realized my mistake. Calm down and forgive me.
“Since you’ve already informed Madam Qin, I naturally have to accompany you to visit Aunt Xiao. How can I still go back to look for Qin Xiu? I definitely have to accompany you to visit Aunt Xiao.”
At the mention of Qin Xiu, she almost called him Brother Qin Xiu again. Before Madam Li could look at her, she quickly stopped herself and avoided criticism.
Madam Li knew what her daughter was thinking. That was why she strongly supported her.
However, her support didn’t mean that Du Jiayi could be shameless. It didn’t mean that she shouldn’t even have the reservations a woman should just for the hope of getting a glance from the man she liked.
Tonight, she could see how much her daughter, whom she had always been proud of, was willing to do for a man. It was so much so that she wasn’t even in the mood to socialize with others!
It wasn’t easy for her to endure until the end. She heard Madam Qin’s hint and knew that she had to bring her daughter away. If she didn’t, the entire capital city would know that her daughter was willing to throw away her dignity for Qin Xiu.
Now was not the time to settle scores with her daughter. She needed to see Shuman first.
Seeing that her daughter knew her mistake, the anger in Madam Li’s heart dissipated a little. Her gaze was no longer so gloomy. “Accompany your Aunt Xiao well. She dotes on you so much. Now that she’s alone in the hospital, you have to talk to her more so that she wouldn’t have doted on you in vain.”
When Du Jiayi heard this, she couldn’t help but ask softly, “Mom, why don’t I understand your relationship with Aunt Xiao?”
She was good to Aunt Xiao, but when she saw Aunt Xiao in trouble, she would smile. However, when Aunt Xiao was really in trouble, she couldn’t help but stand up for her. The more Du Jiayi looked at them these few years, the more confused she became.
After entering the elevator, Madam Li waited until the elevator rose three levels before replying calmly, “You don’t have to understand. You should only know that my concern for your Aunt Xiao is real. It’s also true that I don’t like her.”
“Oh…”
Du Jiayi knew that she wouldn’t be able to get an answer, so she shut her mouth obediently and didn’t ask anymore.
However, she was even more confused.
It was true that she was concerned about Aunt Xiao, but it was also true that she didn’t like her. In that case, did her mother like Aunt Xiao or not?
Sometimes, even Madam Li couldn’t tell.
However, she knew that every time she saw her good friend who surpassed her in every aspect when she was young… she would feel very satisfied. She never told anyone about her satisfaction, not even her husband.
She was secretly delighted.
However, when she saw Xiao Shuman in trouble, she couldn’t help but stand up for her. Every time she did that, she couldn’t help but ask herself, ‘What’s the point of repeating this? Why don’t I just be straightforward and stop meeting her?’
She couldn’t do it. She just couldn’t. This was the only thing she was interested in now. Since she couldn’t stop it, she would continue.
