Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Gu Man stared fixedly at Cui Ya’s unreasonable face. She really did not know how a girl could be taught to be like this.
“Then don’t you know why Grandpa paid so much attention to Ah Mai?”
Cui Ya’s words were stuck in her mouth. She opened her mouth but could not say anything.
“Because brother is sick.”
“Does Grandpa dote on you when you’re sick?”
Cui Ya seemed to recall how Old Master Cui had been busy with her when she was sick. She nodded hesitantly. “Yes.”
The surroundings fell silent. Only then did Cui Ya realize how unreasonable her actions had been. She looked at Ah Mai’s dull eyes and felt guilty.
“So, you were shouting at your younger brother just now. Do you want to apologize to him now?”
As soon as Gu Man said that, she saw Cui Ya close her mouth tightly with an unwilling expression, as if she did not want to apologize to Ah Mai.
“But he doesn’t admit that I’m his sister. He’s also in the wrong. Why do I have to apologize?” Cui Ya raised her head stubbornly and met Gu Man’s gaze unwillingly.
Cui Xuan tugged at Cui Ya’s sleeve. Because Cui Ya was born early, Jia Ling was more at ease with her. Then, Cui Xuan appeared. Before Jia Ling could take care of her, All Mai appeared again.
As a result, she began to neglect her two daughters. Therefore, compared to Cui Ya, who had been following Jia Ling, Cui Xuan was more sensible.
“Cui Xuan, don’t pull my sleeve. Do you want me to apologize to him? But if 1 apologize to him, he doesn’t know anything. What’s the use?”
“The apology is because you did something wrong, not to see if your apology is useful to the other party.” Gu Man’s tone became stern. She looked at Cui Ya in front of her and frowned.
Cui Ya immediately shut her mouth and stood rooted to the ground, but she did not move at all. Gu Man looked at her face and then at Cui Xuan.
She wondered if it was too difficult to get this child back on the right track.
There was a light knock on the door. Everyone’s gaze was focused on the door and they ignored what had just happened.
As Gu Man’s voice sounded, the door opened and Uncle Li appeared. He had been standing at the door for an unknown period of time, but there was a slight anger on his face. Clearly, he had heard what had just happened.
Cui Ya looked at Uncle Li and took two steps back in fear.
Because of Uncle Li’s relationship with Old Master Cui, Uncle Li’s status in the family was very high. If Old Master Cui did not have time, most of the time, Uncle Li would be the one taking care of the children.
He also had the absolute right to punish her. Cui Ya was afraid that her words would be heard and he would tell her grandfather. Not only would she be hated but there would also be punishment waiting for her.
“Miss Cui Ya, come here.” Uncle Li’s tone was exceptionally serious. There was no smile on his face, and he even forgot to greet Gu Man.
He had never thought that Miss would treat her younger brother like this. This was a mistake in his education.
When Cui Ya heard this, she shook her head desperately. Instead of stepping forward, she took two more steps back.
She subconsciously grabbed Cui Xuan and placed her in front to block herself. Uncle Li had always liked Cui Xuan. If Cui Xuan begged for mercy for her, Uncle Li probably would not care about what had just happened.
She urged softly behind Cui Xuan, hoping that Cui Xuan would speak up for her. However, Cui Xuan, who had always been obedient, stood at the front without saying a word.
Cui Ya pushed Cui Xuan two or three times anxiously, but she still did not react. This time, Cui Ya could not care less. She frowned and asked loudly, “Cui Xuan, why don’t you plead for me? Do you want to see me get punished too?”
“Sister, this is indeed your fault. You shouldn’t have treated Little Brother like that just now. He’s just sick.” Cui Xuan’s tone was exceptionally serious despite her young age. She turned around to look at Cui Ya, hoping that she would realize her mistake at this moment.
However, she did not know that her words coincidentally ignited the anger in Cui Ya’s heart. Her eyes widened in anger as she raised her voice..
