Shen Rou got even more agitated as she spoke. She tore her arm away from Xia Qingyi’s grip, and gave her another slap. Xia Qingyi felt giddy from the slap and fell onto the ground.
Shen Rou lowered her head and glared at Xia Qingyi. “Impossible! I’m telling you! Mo Han belongs to me alone!”
Xia Qingyi was furious after being slapped twice. She steadied herself and stood up. How she wished she could slap the woman and pull her hair until she begged for mercy. Until her mood was back to normal, explaining everything could wait!
Except that the moment she reached out her hand to make what she wanted a reality, Mo Han returned.
Both of them looked towards the doorway at the same time.
Xia Qingyi looked away, s.h.i.+fted her gaze elsewhere and kept silent. Rus.h.i.+ng forward, Shen Rou grabbed Mo Han, pointed at Xia Qingyi and asked, “Say it! Who is she? Why is she at your house?”
“Why are you back?” Mo Han looked at Shen Rou.
“Why can’t I be back? If I hadn’t come back I wouldn’t have known that you’d let a woman into your house! Say it! What is your relations.h.i.+p with her?” Shen Rou said tearfully, shaking Mo Han’s arm.
Mo Han felt his head hurting after seeing the pile of damaged things in the center of the living room. He knew that Shen Rou would definitely kick up a fuss after she found out that Xia Qingyi was living in his house.
“She’s my sister!” Mo Han sighed.
Shen Rou still could not believe it even after hearing what Mo Han said, “Why didn’t I know you had a sister? Are you lying to me?”
Mo Han frowned, walked into the bedroom, took out a pile of doc.u.ments and put them in front of Shen Rou. “Take a look, all the papers are here!”
Shen Rou took the doc.u.ments and looked at them doubtfully. The entire adoption procedure was there without a single missing detail, and it was clearly written on the doc.u.ments that Xia Qingyi was adopted by his parents in America when she was 12 years old.
“Why didn’t you ever mention to me that you had a sister?”
“I only found out recently,” Mo Han said. He walked over to Xia Qingyi’s side, who still had not said a single word, and only then did he clearly see that there were two handprints on her face. He looked back at Shen Rou. “You hit her?”
“I…”
Mo Han said sternly, “Apologize.”
“I didn’t know who she was at that time, I thought…”
“Apologize!” Mo Han’s voice boomed.
Shen Rou had never seen Mo Han lose his temper, and he had never spoken in such a loud voice to her before. This made her feel really unhappy. “Even if I was wrong, why do you have to be so rude to me?”
“A mistake is still a mistake. Apologize,” Mo Han said.
Shen Rou turned and looked at Xia Qingyi, who had been quietly looking at her the entire time. This made Shen Rou feel a little uneasy. In the end, she eventually lowered her head and said, “I’m sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose.”
After Xia Qingyi heard what she said, she did not look at Shen Rou again. She just walked over and knelt down beside the damaged things to tidy them up. Most of the clothes were only dirtied, so they could still be worn after was.h.i.+ng them. But the things like the blanket and toiletries were totally crushed with their bits and pieces all over the place.
“You gotta go and get me some things again,” Xia Qingyi said as she tidied up.
“Stop tidying, just throw them all away, I’ll get you new ones,” Mo Han sat on the sofa, hands atop his head, and seemed to be in a bad mood.
“You don’t have to,” Xia Qingyi’s tone was firm.
Mo Han raised his head to look at her kneeling on the ground and heard her say, “I don’t want new stuff, I just want these.”
It was only then Mo Han realized that she had not looked at him directly from the moment he came in until now.
Xia Qingyi tidied up her things, stood up and said, “I’ll take my stuff out of your bedroom. I’ll sleep in the guest room, so that I won’t disturb both of you in the future.”
