Lin Liye knew that s.h.i.+ Xiaoya was also afraid that her parents would be unhappy if they found out.
“In-laws, I’m really sorry. This is all Zhuoling’s mess, and we even implicated Xiaoya to suffer as well,” Lin Liye said apologetically.
Du Yiqin waved her hand and said, “Don’t say that. You’re being too polite with us. Xiaoya is a sincere person. She’s worried that we might be unhappy if she told us. At home, she’s had her older brother to protect her since she was young and never let her suffer any grievance. I am a little angry, but I am angry because after Xia Yixin found trouble with her, Xiaoya should have come back to let us know so we can stand up for her! We can’t let that Xia Yixin think that our Xiaoya is easy to bully.
“But this has nothing to do with Zhuoling. As for Zhuoling, this son-in-law of ours, I am pleased beyond words. Anyway, that woman only has the t.i.tle of ex-wife because they had been married in the past. Even if she was someone he did not marry, who hasn’t had a few relations.h.i.+ps in the past? There are also people with ex-girlfriends, right? There are many incidents of ex-girlfriends coming to cause trouble too. An ex-wife isn’t any different from an ex-girlfriend just because they were married once. Actually, the two are the same in nature.”
“This matter can happen to anyone,” Du Yiqin said. “Please don’t blame yourself.”
Lin Liye nodded.
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya said weakly, “Mom, I didn’t suffer or anything. Brother had been protecting me since I was young, so now that I’m old, all the more I cannot let myself suffer. Why should I suffer in someone else’s hands when you all are protecting me?”
“You didn’t suffer?” Du Yiqin regained her spirits. “Then what did you do to her?”
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya felt a little embarra.s.sed as she said, “I threw a pot of hot tea and scalded her.”
“Well done!” This time, Lin Liye was the one praising her. “As for Xia Yixin, you don’t need to be polite! You can do whatever you want to her. Zhuoling is here to stand up for you!”
“…” The corners of Du Yiqin’s lips twitched as she smiled and said, “That’s great. In the past, Xiaoya had her brother to stand up for her, and she had been spoiled by her brother so much that she’s had nothing to fear. In-laws, don’t think that she has a soft temper because of how she looks. That’s just because she’s not being provoked right now. She definitely isn’t afraid of things, and this is all because her brother spoiled her since she was young.
“When she was in primary school, there was a male cla.s.smate who liked her. Little boys that age do not know how to please girls and make them happy, so they will rely on causing trouble, and they’ll bully girls to attract their attention. She kept having her ponytail pulled and even had her jacket hood stuffed with paper b.a.l.l.s by someone. This silly girl also did not know better, so she went to complain to her older brother. Her older brother rolled up his sleeves and went to give that little boy a good beating, so he did not dare to get close to her afterward.”
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya: “…”
“There’s such a thing?” Han Zhuoling suddenly turned to look at her, that gaze feeling a little cold, making s.h.i.+ Xiaoya subconsciously rub her elbows.
Han Zhuoling stared deeply at her.
She had really been popular from a young age. How on earth did she remain single until now?
Previously, s.h.i.+ Xiaoya said that she was a little slow when it came to love. Judging from this, it seemed like her slowness was not quite the average.
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya laughed guiltily. She really did not remember this incident.
“Mom, there’s such a thing? I don’t even remember it anymore, hahahaha.” s.h.i.+ Xiaoya laughed guiltily.
“It’s normal that you don’t remember. You were so young then,” Du Yiqin said. “You were only in Primary One, so there are many things that you definitely won’t be able to remember now. I still remember how, when you went to kindergarten, the same thing happened.”
