Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“All of you only care about brother. What’s so good about him? Did 1 say something wrong just now?” Cui Ya was completely angry at this moment. She even ignored Uncle Li, who was standing at the front. She quickened her pace to leave the room, but Uncle Li grabbed the back of her collar at the door and stopped her from continuing forward.
“Let go of me. What right do you have to control me? You’re not from my family. You’re just a butler. What right do you have to control me? I’m the miss here. Do you understand?”
The moment she spoke, tears flowed from Cui Ya’s eyes. She glared at Uncle Li with reddened eyes.
His current appearance was somewhat similar to Jia Ling’s previous unreasonable behavior.
Uncle Li felt a chill in his heart. “So this is what Miss Cui Ya actually thinks…”
“Yes, that’s what 1 think. Please don’t care about me in the future, okay?” Cui Ya had no idea that she had broken an old man’s heart and continued to speak. Uncle Li was silent for a moment before he actually obediently let go.
This made Cui Ya overjoyed and she ran out of the room.
Cui Xuan stood rooted to the ground and looked at her back as she ran away. She shook her head in disappointment and looked at Gu Man.
“This is our fault. Although we’re worried about my brother’s safety, we’re sorry to disturb you.”
At this point, Cui Xuan paused and looked at Ah Mai, who was standing beside Gu Man. He looked like he did not know what had happened at all, making Cui Xuan’s heart ache.
In fact, she used to like her younger brother very much, but no matter how she tried to communicate with him, he still ignored her, so Cui Xuan realized that it had been a long time since she had met Ah Mai’s eyes like this.
“All Mai, Cui Ya really shouldn’t have shouted at you just now. 1 apologize on her behalf. 1 hope you won’t be angry.” Cui Xuan raised her hand and placed it on All Mai’s head, gently rubbing it twice.
Ah Mai stared at her, wide-eyed, as if he didn’t understand the act.
Cui Xuan, on the other hand, was inexplicably happy because of the look in his eyes. “All Mai, don’t worry. I’ll get Cui Ya to apologize to you personally.”
Gu Man looked at the young but especially sensible girl in front of her and was quite satisfied. Compared to Cui Ya, she liked Cui Xuan’s personality more.
Hence, she took the initiative to say, “All Mai’s illness has already subsided. If you’re free, you can talk to him more.”
Cui Xuan’s hands, which were hanging by her side, trembled slightly. “Okay, okay.”
Did this mean that her brother would return to normal in the future and sweetly call her sister like other children?
Cui Xuan’s face was filled with sincere happiness and joy, but she did not stay long. Instead, she came to Uncle Li’s side.
“Grandpa Li, please don’t take it to heart. She was just too angry and spoke without thinking. I’ll go back and teach her to apologize to Grandpa personally.”
After all, Uncle Li already had one foot in the grave. He would not really argue with a little girl like Cui Ya. If she really apologized sincerely, he would let bygones be bygones. What she said just now had indeed hurt him too much.
“It’s okay. Cui Xuan, you’ve always been so sensible.” Uncle Li gently rubbed Cui Xuan’s head, and there was a hint of affection on his face.
Cui Xuan nodded slightly and left the room completely.
At this moment, Uncle Li looked at Gu Man. “Old Master Cui asked me to come up to ask Miss Gu if there’s anything you need help with?”
He had actually arrived very early, but when he heard a familiar voice coming from inside the door, he could not help but stop in his tracks. He did not expect to hear the conversation just now, nor did he expect such a thing to happen later.
“There’s nothing to help. There’s just one thing. Uncle Li, I hope you won’t tell Old Master Cui what just happened.”
Uncle Li looked puzzled, but he still nodded.
Gu Man nodded slightly in response.
“Currently, Ah Mai’s illness can only be slowly improved. My method will only have minute effects if it continues. The most important thing is for him to walk out on his own..”
