Wen Xu glared at Zhao Ming when Ji Cheng roared at them as if trying to tell her that she was the cause for all this mess.
Zhao Ming who just woke up furrowed her brows as she saw the blaming glare of Wen Xu.
"I don"t even know what"s happening and they are already giving me a death glare." she wondered as she glared back as Wen Xu.
Wen Xu"s blood started to boil when Zhao Ming glared at her. She had no words to describe her anger.
She sighed heavily as she tried to control her anger.
Ji Cheng looked at Wen Xu and Xiao Li and asked, " Will you speak what was so important that you didn"t care to take permission of me and came in barging like this? "
" And Mother You."
"You should have at least consider before barging in your son"s room like this. I didn"t expect this kind of immature behavior from you." he scolded her because he was frustrated by her att.i.tude.
He didn"t have expected anything from Xiao Li but he had thought that at least his mother was sensible enough to not do anything like this.
Xiao Li gritted her teeth when she heard his words. His words were clearly stating that he didn"t expect anything from her which means that it was normal for Xiao Li to do such things?
Was he saying that he doesn"t care about whatever she does? Is she so worthless in his life?
Wen Xu wanted to retort Ji Cheng"s words but couldn"t do so as she knows that it was her fault to barge in like this.
She had thought that they must be awoken by now when they decided to come to lotus pavilion.
She wanted to go back when Feng Ju told her that they were still in the room. She knows it"s not appropriate to disturb them.
If not for Xiao Li, she wouldn"t have come in and got scolded by her son for this reason.
Xiao Li saw that Ji Cheng was so angry and Wen Xu"s anger was also subsiding. She can"t let this happen.
She controlled her emotions and spoke in an innocent and gentle voice, " His Highness. Please don"t say anything to Mother. We were just worried about sister"s health. I heard that she fainted yesterday, that"s why we came to visit her because we were worried about her."
She said so convincingly that for a second even Zhao Ming also believed that she really cared about her.
Seeing the fake concern on Xiao Li"s face, Zhao Ming lightly snickered at Xiao Li"s words, " This girl is sure amazing. She never gets tired of her fake act." she lightly murmured as she hung her head down to not look at them.
But after she was done speaking, everyone became so quiet.
She felt eerie with this atmosphere. She looked up to see the reason for their silence and noticed that everyone was looking at her.
Even Ji Cheng was also staring at her in disbelief.
She realized that though her voice was low but everyone heard her words. She gulped in nervousness when she saw the raging expressions of Wen Xu and Xiao Li.
" I am doomed. Why can"t I control this ominous tongue of mine." she scolded herself while giving them an awkward smile.
Ji Cheng didn"t hear what Zhao Ming said but he heard her chuckling after hearing Xiao Li words.
He was surprised as she had never behaved in this way before but from few days she was acting quite different.
It just like she became a different person after waking up from the coma.
Xiao Li was angered when she heard Zhao Ming mocking her. Her fists tightened as she gritted her teeth in anger as she spoke, " Sister, are you laughing at me? Sister, why do you hate me so much?"
" We were just worried about you, so we came to visit you. Do you think, we"re lying about it? Why you never believe me? I always treat you as my sister but you always doubted me. I don"t know how to make you believe that I care about you." she said as tears welled up in her eyes.
Wen Xu on the side got frustrated at Zhao Ming"s blank expression and spoke, " Xiao Li, don"t bother with her. She isn"t capable of your love and care. She is just an orphan now who don"t care about anyone"s love and care."
At first, Zhao Ming wasn"t interested in their drama but when she heard the word orphan from Wen Xu"s mouth her expressions darkened.
She doesn"t know about Zhao Ming"s family story but she as Xie Ming was very sensitive to this word.
Because her mother and grandfather have died whom they valued so much and the only family that she had in the 21st century was her biological father whom she considered as dead.
She has already broken the ties with her father and never considered him as Father.
So to her, she was like an orphan who was alone in this world after the death of her mother and grandfather.
Ji Cheng"s expression became ugly as he heard his mother"s crude words. He wanted to stop her but before he could say anything, he heard Zhao Ming"s sharp voice.
" Are you guys done?" she didn"t say anything and casually ask them a question folding her arms in front of her chest.
Wen Xu stopped in her words as she looked at Zhao Ming in disbelief. n.o.body has spoken to her in this way before.
Xiao Li also turned to look at Zhao Ming whose face was dark and cold.
She has never felt this kind of aura from Zhao Ming. In front of Wen Xu, Zhao Ming was always weak and docile.
But what had caused the sudden change in her att.i.tude?
Wen Xu glared at Zhao Ming and said, " What did you just say?" she asked Zhao Ming in a dangerous tone.
Her blood pressure has raised to its peak from hearing Zhao Ming"s nonsense.
If not for Ji Cheng, she would have showed Zhao Ming the consequences of talking to her in this manner.
Zhao Ming casually stepped down from the bed and straightened her pajamas and said, " I asked, are you guys done?" she said each word loud and clear as she coolly looked at Xiao Li and Wen Xu.
Ji Cheng who was still sitting on the bed was surprised to hear the nonchalant tone of Zhao Ming talking to the Empress Dowager.
