Chapter 943: Xi Xi Doesn’t Have a Brother
He Xiyan suddenly frowned and she couldn’t help but stretch out her hand to touch her daughter’s face.
She wondered if it was mumps.
She started worrying because children were particularly vulnerable to mumps.
Xi Xi quickly s.h.i.+fted away and refused to let her mother touch the part where she had been slapped yesterday.
“What’s wrong, Xi Xi? Does it hurt?” He Xiyan asked as she looked at her daughter in confusion. Her daughter didn’t look like she was sick but why did her face seem so strange?
Xi Xi clapped a hand over her face and frowned as she clenched her fists.
He Xiyan was even more confused and wondered why her daughter was suddenly so livid.
Could it be…
She suddenly had a bad premonition and her eyes widened as she became even more worried.
“Xi Xi, tell me, did your cla.s.smates bully you?” she asked anxiously as she pulled her daughter over to her and held her hand.
Xi Xi looked at her mother and shook her head.
None of her cla.s.smates would dare bully her since she was the most powerful person in school.
“It was Aunty Han. Mom, Aunty Han hit me,” she said agitatedly and her entire face was flushed red in anger.
He Xiyan felt her heart stop. Her daughter’s words were like a knife that went straight through her heart and her worry immediately gave way to anger.
Her face was redder than before in three seconds and even her ears were red. She clenched her jaw and her heart blazed with anger.
“Han Xue!” she muttered this name and her eyes blazed with fury.
She would have never imagined that this woman would dare hit Xi Xi.
“Xi Xi, what about your father? Doesn’t he know that she hit you?” she said agitatedly. She felt as though her heart was about to jump out of her chest.
She had an urge to rush over to the Ye castle and confront Han Xue. How dare Han Xue dare to hit her daughter? She swore that she would not let her off the hook easily.
Xi Xi shook her head and said, “Dad doesn’t know since he hardly comes home. He had a huge fight with Aunty Han yesterday. They fought for a long while before he rushed out of the house.”
He Xiyan stroked her daughter’s face lovingly. She couldn’t believe that Xi Xi was bullied by Han Xue in the castle and she was shocked by how irresponsible Ye Hao was as a father. How could he ignore that plight of his child and allow Xi Xi to be bullied by Han Xue?
He Xiyan placed a hand over her chest and she suddenly felt breathless.
She regretted not obtaining custody of her child back then which resulted in her child being bullied.
“Xi Xi…” He Xiyan said as she gathered Xi Xi into her arms and held her tightly. Tears flowed down her eyes and along her cheeks. “Don’t worry, I don’t let Han Xue have the chance to bully you again.”
He Xiyan bit her lips as she vowed not to tolerate certain people nor put up with certain things any longer.
She had thought that her children will have a better future if she reigned in her urge to have her child by her side, but now she realized that she had been wrong.
Xi Xi reached out to wipe her mother’s tears from her eyes.
“Mom, don’t cry,” Xi Xi said as she helped her mom wipe her tears. “I’m not afraid of Aunty Han. Once I’m all grown, I swear I’ll give her 10 slaps in return.”
