Huang Ziyao’s eyes seemed to have mixed feelings as she looked at Xi Xiaye in disappointment. “Xiaye, why won’t you let it go? I’m not really willing to intervene between you youngsters, but your behavior is really disappointing. No matter what, it’s impossible between you and Yifeng anymore. Why do you have to take revenge…?”
“Mrs. Han!” Before Huang Ziyao could finish her words, Xi Xiaye interrupted her. “I think I’ve made it clear to Han Yifeng that from the moment he chose Xi Xinyi, it was over between us. As for whether I’m taking revenge or not, it’s between the Xi family and me. It has nothing to do with you. I hope you don’t interfere, or else, you might be affected as well.”
Her tone was cold and unfriendly. Huang Shanshan had been enduring her many times, and she could not hold it in anymore since she kept attacking them offensively.
“Xi Xiaye! How dare you!?” Huang Shanshan’s tone was stern while she glared at Xi Xiaye.
“Xiaye, how could you say that? I don’t remember you being like this in the past!” Huang Ziyao frowned as she looked at the aloof Xi Xiaye.
“How was I like in the past? Listening to whatever everyone says? Or what? If Xi Xinyi wants to get back at me, ask her to come by herself. I’ll deal with her personally.”
Xi Xiaye’s tone sounded condescending as she glanced at both of them. “If you guys still think that I’m clinging onto Han Yifeng, you two can go back and ask him if he’s still qualified. Why does he feel so great about himself?”
“What did you say?!” Huang Shanshan’s face turned ferocious when she heard Xi Xiaye’s words.
“I’m saying that you, Huang Shanshan, think you’re pretty smart, but you don’t even know when you’ve been used.” Xi Xiaye smirked with a faint light in her eyes. “Didn’t you like w.a.n.g Ziluo before? You’ve written quite a few love letters to him as well, haven’t you? But w.a.n.g Ziluo gave you no reaction at all, yet you treated me like a sore thumb because of this matter… Moreover, did you know that he’s back already?”
“I’m going to bet that Xi Xinyi didn’t tell you. Do you want to know why w.a.n.g Ziluo didn’t respond to you at all?” Xi Xiaye lowered her body slightly and whispered into Huang Shanshan’s ears.
Huang Shanshan’s expression froze. She seemed embarra.s.sed, but at the same time, she was curious as well. Her eyes darkened as she stared at Xi Xiaye, expecting her answer.
“Because the letters you sent to w.a.n.g Ziluo were similar to the letters w.a.n.g Ziluo gave me. They turned into ashes at the hands of someone. w.a.n.g Ziluo never received your letters. If you don’t believe me, I can give him a call now…”
“Impossible! This is impossible!” Huang Shanshan’s expression darkened as she yelled before Xi Xiaye could finish her sentence. She glared at Xi Xiaye angrily.
Xi Xiaye stood up straight with satisfaction when she saw Huang Shanshan’s frustrated expression, and she smiled. “You don’t believe me? Okay, I remember another thing as well. On your twentieth birthday party, the diamond necklace your cousin gave you vanished. Then, Xi Xinyi gave you her necklace, didn’t she? Don’t you want to know where your necklace went? Go back and ask your best friend. Maybe she might accidentally tell you… Haven’t you realized that she seems to come to your aid ever so conveniently every single time?”
Huang Shanshan’s expression turned odd and Xi Xiaye smiled. She then went into her car without looking at the two of them.
The moment her car arrived in the public square, the servant’s voice reached her from outside. “Missus, it’s a call from Master!”
Xi Xiaye turned around to see the servant running towards her with a phone in her hand.
Her phone battery had died and Mu Yuchen had probably called w.a.n.g Hui to reach her. Xi Xiaye took the phone after she got out of the car to answer the call. “h.e.l.lo…”
“Mmm, it’s me.” Mu Yuchen’s voice came from the other end. “I’m not going back to the Mu Residence tonight. There’s something I need to attend to. I’ll go right back to Maple Residence later. I’m just letting you know, so you can go home earlier after dinner later.”
Su Chen and some others had dragged Mu Yuchen along for drinks. Even Zhou Zimo joined them as well. He was probably in a room with them right now as Xi Xiaye could hear the noise of gla.s.ses over the call.
Xi Xiaye went silent for a moment before replying, “Mmm got it. Don’t drink too much. There’s a meeting early tomorrow.”
…
On the other hand, Huang Shanshan was still beyond herself after she heard what Xi Xiaye said. She was doubtful even long after Xi Xiaye’s car vanished. Only after Huang Ziyao called out to her several times did she came back to her senses.
Huang Ziyao was a little shocked to see Huang Shanshan’s haunted expression and asked, “Shanshan, what did Xiaye mean? Why do you look so unwell? Are you alright?”
Huang Shanshan tried to shake it off, her eyes returning back to normal.
Xi Xiaye must be trying to weaken her relationship with Xi Xinyi, but she, Huang Shanshan, would not fall into the trap!
That must be what was happening!
Huang Shanshan clenched her fists as she told herself even though there was a hint of uncertainty that flashed through her mind.
“I’m alright, Aunt! Let’s go!” Huang Shanshan said after a while as she suppressed her emotions. She clung onto Huang Ziyao’s arm and walked ahead together.
…
At night, in the Mu Residence.
w.a.n.g Hui was sending Xi Xiaye off at the entrance. The butler had tucked several big bags of stuff inside the car. She held onto Xi Xiaye hands and said kindly, “Xiaye, remember what Grandmother told you tonight. Have more of these tonics that I gave you. Otherwise, you’ll suffer much more when you become pregnant. When your mother-in-law had Chen Er back then, she almost lost him because she overexerted herself. Your father-in-law forced her to rest at home for half a year and at last, she gave birth safely. The red bag is for you, the blue bag is for Chen Er. I know the both of you are busy with work and don’t really care about these things, so I’ve prepared them for you guys.”
Xi Xiaye was a little embarra.s.sed when she heard w.a.n.g Hui’s words. The topic throughout the night did not move away from having kids at all; it was obvious that she was desperate for grandchildren.
“Also, don’t let Chen Er drink and smoke…”
“I got it, Grandmother. I’ll let him know!”
Xi Xiaye could not stand it anymore, so she quickly nodded as she stepped into the car. “I’ll head back now. Grandmother, you should go back too. Goodbye!”
“Okay. Come back whenever you’re free…”
