Chapter 408 - Outburst (1/2)

Xu Mey was baffled at the way her Juan talked to her. She really couldn't believe that her daughter was blaming her. And for what? It was her fault for making Xiao Song cry! But instead of apologizing, she was arguing with her mother!”

”I'm really disappointed in her today. I can't believe my daughter could be this rude,” Xu Mey's words made Jie's body stiff. He was about to place his hand on her shoulder as a way to show that he was with her but her words...

”Ah-Jie, this is why I always told you to stop giving in to her wishes. Now, she's becoming a spoiled brat. I don't even know what to do with her. How can she talk back to me?” Xu Mey was uttering her complaints and dislikes about Juan's behavior and completely didn't notice the way Jie was looking at her now. ”This is really unacceptable. Did you see the way she was looking at me? It was so disrespectful!”

”You can see the way she talked or looked at you but did you for a minute think how you talked to her?”

”What?” Xu Mey looked at Jie with a frown. ”Are you saying I'm at fault here? Are you really taking your daughter's side?”

”First of all, she's not just mine. She's our daughter. Secondly, I'm not taking sides because we don't take sides in the family. Besides, I didn't say Juan was right. But you weren't either. And also, you're the one who started it.”

”Ah-Jie!”

”Even if our daughter did something wrong, you're supposed to take her inside the house and discuss like normal people instead of yelling at her like a madwoman.” Jie sighed exasperatedly. ”Did you, for a minute, care to think about how this will affect Juan mentally? She is only eight years old. Yes, she doesn't act her age but that doesn't mean you as a mother should forget that our twins are only eight years old!”

”I know they are eight...”

”Oh, I don't think you do!” He interrupted her. ”Just because our twins are mature, understanding, and smart that doesn't mean they don't need attention. They don't complain, it does not mean they are happy.” He looked at her face as continued, ”You think you have a happy family, right? Sorry to burst the bubble, this family only looks happy. The dream of a perfect family you have is not gonna fulfill because this family is crumbling down slowly because of your negligence.”

”Are you saying I'm the reason why our family is having issues?” She felt hurt hearing those words from him. She worked every single day to make everyone happy and yet, she was the one being negligent? ”What about you? Huh? You love spending time with the twins as well. Do you even care that you have a wife?”
