Chapter 1258: If Your Eyes Are Bad, Go See a Doctor

Bai Yufei was worried that if she took one look, she would go crazy!

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.

It was as if a firecracker had been lit; Bai Yufei turned her head and shouted, "Didn't I say not to come and bother... Mom!?"

Seeing Chi Rong at the doorway, Bai Yufei was stunned for a moment.

Chi Rong sighed as she walked into the room and said, "No one is bothering you right now; it is your own mood that is irritable."

"Mom... you know too?"

"How could I not know? You really have been so foolish this time!"

Bai Yufei did not pay much attention to what Chi Rong said; instead, she walked to Chi Rong's side in high spirits.

She then took hold of her hands, her expression excited: "I knew you would go and apologize to Xu Xiaoxiao on my behalf!"

"Apologize?"

"Yes, Brother just left to go find Xu Xiaoxiao to apologize and get her to drop the charges against me! You must have missed Brother on the way, Mom. You should go quickly; you will definitely be able to make it in time!"

What Bai Yufei did not know was that Qin Yiyan had no intention at all of letting his mother step in to resolve this.

She did not even know about the matter of apologizing!

Moreover, Qin Yiyan had originally wanted to find Xu Xiaoxiao on the very day the incident occurred.

But he was met with a closed door.

He could only wait until today to patiently try again.

At this moment, Chi Rong was silent for a second.

Then she sighed: "I am your mother, and I should apologize, but why on earth did you lay a hand on her?"

"Because... she spoke rudely!"

"Miss Xu is very polite and knowledgeable; how could she possibly speak rudely?"

Seeing that Chi Rong was actually speaking up for Xu Xiaoxiao, Bai Yufei looked over bit by bit.

Then she accused her with an indignant face: "I am your daughter; don't you believe a word I say!?"

Chi Rong... indeed did not quite believe it.

But she did not say it out loud, only saying in a flat tone: "Even if you had a dispute, you shouldn't have laid a hand on her. You are an adult now; the responsibility you should bear will not be reduced by an apology from me."

Bai Yufei did not expect her mother to say such discouraging words.

She felt very furious inside!

In a fit of pique, she said: "Then Mom, send me to prison. I hit someone, so I should bear the legal responsibility!"

As she spoke, Bai Yufei sat with her back to Chi Rong.

Chi Rong could not help but frown.

She thought to herself, where is the attitude of admitting one's mistake in this?

It was clearly being emboldened by having support!

Chi Rong shook her head and sighed: "You, when will you ever grow up?"

"Mom, the problem is not with me; it's Xu Xiaoxiao! That woman deliberately stepped on me in front of everyone last time!"

"But why would she do that?"

"Because she wants to vent her anger for Sister-in-law!"

This...

Could the matter actually involve Liu Xin'ai?

Chi Rong felt it was unreliable.

But immediately, she realized something.

She walked around to the front of Bai Yufei and asked: "What is wrong with your sister-in-law? Why use the words 'vent her anger'?"

This question made Bai Yufei's eyes flicker.

Qin Yiyan did not want Chi Rong to know about his affairs with Liu Xin'ai.

Because he was worried it would upset his mother.

But Bai Yufei did not have those scruples; she was currently only considering whether it would be to her advantage if her mother knew...

And just as Bai Yufei was weighing this, Liu Xin'ai passed by the room's doorway.

"Mom, when did you arrive?"

Chi Rong had only just arrived and had not yet had the chance to go see Liu Xin'ai.

Seeing her come over now, she smiled and greeted her, saying: "I just arrived a moment ago. How have you been lately?"

Of course... not very well.

If Chi Rong had come a few days earlier, Liu Xin'ai would not even have been able to leave her room.

But to avoid worrying her elder, Liu Xin'ai said with a smile: "Very well."

Upon hearing this answer, Bai Yufei immediately made a sound of disdain.

She thought to herself that this woman Liu Xin'ai was truly good at pretending; what had their relationship with Brother become!?

Because the sound Bai Yufei made was very loud, Chi Rong felt it was extremely rude.

She turned her head and scolded her: "Fei'er, what kind of attitude is this!"

Bai Yufei had an indifferent attitude and even retorted: "What's wrong with me? I just don't like to pretend!"

"Enough, you cannot have this attitude toward your sister-in-law!"

Chi Rong's command made Bai Yufei feel very stifled!

To think that when she was out, she had to be schemed against by Xu Xiaoxiao, and upon returning home, she still had to swallow her pride!?

Why on earth!!

Bai Yufei finally could not hold back her anger, stood up, and shouted at Liu Xin'ai: "Liu Xin'ai, why did you come to my room? Get out!"

Her shouting made Chi Rong immediately rebuke: "Bai Yufei!"

Chi Rong actually called her daughter by her full name, which showed that she was truly angry.

But Bai Yufei did not restrain herself.

Instead, she said righteously: "I just don't want to see her! Why did that Xu Xiaoxiao come to find trouble with me? It was all to stand up for her!"

"No matter the reason, you cannot have this attitude toward family, nor can you lay a hand on outsiders!"

"Ha, so what if I scold her? Who told her to act so cheap and come in front of me? If she doesn't get out now, I will..."

Slap—

Before Bai Yufei could finish speaking, she felt a sharp pain in her cheek.

At the same time, her cheek was forced to the side!

The air also fell silent.

Chi Rong stared at her own hand, seemingly not expecting that she would actually lay a hand on her daughter.

And at this moment, Bai Yufei slowly turned her head.

Her eyes were wide open, and she asked in a trembling voice: "You actually hit me!?"

Chi Rong's heart was also in pain.

But she did not regret it, and instead scolded her in frustration: "Just listening to those words you said, you deserved to be hit!"

"But it was clearly them who were bullying people!"

"You sent someone to the Hospital, so who exactly is the one bullying people!?"

Liu Xin'ai was not very clear about the specific situation,

and at this moment, hearing what Chi Rong meant...

Xu Xiaoxiao seemed to be in a very serious condition!

This made Liu Xin'ai increasingly uneasy; she clenched her palms and muttered: "How is Xiao Xiao exactly right now?!"

As her voice fell, she felt a warmth on the back of her hand.

Looking up, she heard Chi Rong comfort her: "I will go see Miss Xu now, don't you worry."

Liu Xin'ai really wanted to take the opportunity to persuade Chi Rong to take her along to the Hospital.

But...

If Qin Yiyan found out, he would definitely be very angry.

He might even settle scores later!

Liu Xin'ai did not want to cause trouble, so she gave up on this idea.

She only squeezed Chi Rong's hand back and pleaded: "No matter the result, please be sure to tell me about Xiao Xiao's condition."

"Mm, rest assured."

Chi Rong responded with a smile and gave Liu Xin'ai a reassuring look.

Only when facing Bai Yufei did Chi Rong's face return to being serious.

She even ordered: "You just stay home and reflect!"

Her mother's differential treatment almost made Bai Yufei so angry she puffed up like a pufferfish!

She felt that her mother really could not distinguish between inside and outside; clearly, she was the one who was her daughter!!

Under Bai Yufei's cold gaze, Chi Rong walked out of the room.

Confirming that her mother could no longer hear, Bai Yufei warned Liu Xin'ai irritably: "Liu Xin'ai, don't get cocky!"

Cocky?

Liu Xin'ai sneered.

She did not even look at Bai Yufei, only offering one piece of advice: "If your eyes are bad, go to the Hospital; don't talk nonsense here!"

Li Beijue's expression darkened instantly; he stood up abruptly and strode toward the door.
