Chapter 570 - Was This Even Her Daughter? (3)
The scenes from yesterday replayed in her mind, making the rage inside her resurface.
Before the Xi family went on their downfall, the Han family tried so hard to get on Yue Lingsi’s good side, but now they were straight-up bullying her!
Even her son-in-law, Han Yifeng, was rude towards her. No matter what, she was still his mother-in-law after all!
Moreover, there was also Huang Ziyao’s dissatisfied tone of voice!
“If it weren’t for your uncle’s help, the Han Corporation product launch wouldn’t have gone so smoothly. Their attitude now is really frustrating!” Yue Lingsi’s tone was sharp, and a cold light gathered around her eyes as well.
However, Xi Xinyi shot her a disgusted glance. “Mother, it’s enough! You’re gambling all day, every day. What happened to your elegant self-image? Can you stop causing more trouble for me? The debt collectors are on our tail now. If Grandfather finds out, he’ll lash out at me again! I don’t hope that you can help me, but can you stop holding me back?” Xi Xinyi could not help but complain. She averted her gaze away and refused to look at Yue Lingsi’s face.
Yue Lingsi’s eyes widened after she heard what came out of Xi Xinyi’s mouth. She could not believe what she just heard and thought her ears malfunctioned.
Given Xinyi’s tone and those words…
Was she despising her own mother?
“Xinyi, what did you just say? I’m holding you back? What do you mean by that? Are you saying that I’m holding you back right now?” asked Yue Lingsi as she stared at Xi Xinyi.
Xi Xinyi took a deep breath and gave her an impatient glance. “Mother, don’t you have any idea what’s going on right now? Your reputation is at its worst right now. Why can’t you be like Shen Wenna? At least, she could still keep father’s heart after so many years, yet you’re acting like a savage now! Shen Wenna is always so elegant and knows all the methods there is to keep a man’s heart. Ugh, why can’t you be more like her? Don’t you know how badly you’ve lost already?”
Xi Xinyi thought about the hardships she had gone through, yet there were a lot of things that still did not go her way. She had nowhere to express her anger, so she lashed it all out on Yue Lingsi.
Without giving it much thought, her careless words pierced through Yue Lingsi’s heart like arrows, causing her excruciating pain inside!
Shen Wenna and Xi Mushan were a taboo topic for her. There was no way she could stand it!
Her red eyes stared at Xi Xinyi as her voice trembled slightly. “What did you say? What? Who do you think I’ve worked hard for? I’m your mother! What’s so good about Shen Wenna? That old witch! She said she didn’t care. Lies! Her daughter is also another little witch! Xi Xiaye defeated you as well! You’ve really disappointed me, Xinyi! Just which aspect of Shen Wenna can measure up to me?”
“Based on the fact that she could stay virtuous for twenty over years and never caused any trouble for Xi Xiaye, what about you? If it weren’t for your scandal, Grandfather wouldn’t have gotten angry and Father wouldn’t have divorced you. Grandmother wouldn’t turn out this way too, and the Xi family would’ve still existed. You’ve ruined everything! It’s all because of you!” Xi Xinyi just exploded at her.
“Shut up! Don’t compare me to that old witch, Shen Wenna! Just who does she thinks she is!? How dare she steal my man away!? I showed interest in your father first. I thought of her as my best friend, yet she betrayed me! I simply imitated her act afterward! Your father was unwilling to even touch me for the past twenty years, so why should I keep myself virtuous for him? He doesn’t like me, does he? There are a lot of people who like me! People who are much better and younger!”
Yue Lingsi had a dark and maniacal vibe around her. Nonetheless, Xi Xinyi put on a fierce expression to face her.
“You’re crazy! You’ve ruined everything. Not only are you not going to repent, but you even gave up on yourself. If you’re so capable, why don’t you steal Father back again?”
“Shen Wenna is now only a useless, blind person. That’s her karma! I’m not the one who ruined everything. It’s you! If you didn’t play those tricks and have so much negative news exposed, things would’ve been peaceful for us! You’ve really disappointed me, Xinyi!”
Yue Lingsi took a deep breath as she tried to calm down.
Xi Xinyi then replied, “You’re still trying to avoid responsibility now. Things wouldn’t have ended up this way if your scandal didn’t exist. If you still think you’re above Shen Wenna, think again! Don’t embarrass yourself—”
Pa!
Before Xi Xinyi could finish her sentence, there was a loud slap and she felt a fiery hot pain on her left cheek!
A clear red palm mark appeared on her little face!
“Whose daughter are you? You’re my daughter, but you’re helping that witch, Shen Wenna, to humiliate your mother! Have you forgotten that you could never have become the princess of the Xi family if it weren’t for me? Do you think you could’ve gotten married into the Han family? How dare you talk to me like this? Are you really my daughter?” Yue Lingsi held her palm as she looked at Xi Xinyi.
Xi Xinyi stared at her in rage. “I’m just telling the truth. Just admit that you’re no better than Shen Wenna! It’s because of you that I’ve become so unfortunate!”
“You… Are you trying to kill me?” Yue Lingsi’s vision darkened. She quickly gripped onto the bed frame to stand properly as she almost collapsed. She could not believe this person in front of her was actually her daughter.
Was this even her daughter?
Xi Xinyi’s face was icy cold as she wiped off the speck of blood at the corner of her mouth before averting her gaze away.
Yue Lingsi felt like her heart was being stabbed with a sharp knife. The pain almost knocked her out!
