Chapter 6 (2/2)
Chu Xi sobbed.
”I was taught by my mother. I can't beg for nothing. After I leave tomorrow, I hope my mother will take care of herself. You must take care of yourself. You have a headache. You must pay attention when it's cold. Don't be too tired on weekdays, otherwise my daughter will worry and...”
”What nonsense are you talking about!” Wu interrupted Chu Xi and couldn't help crying. ”You're my daughter. You don't stay with me. Where do you want to go?”
”But now no one in this family doesn't welcome me. They all want me to go. Up to now, my daughter just wants to be filial in front of you, and she doesn't have a chance.” ”I don't think who dares?” Wu snapped.
Chu Xi stopped talking and threw herself into Wu's arms, crying out of breath.
”That little thing said, didn't it?” Wu immediately found the problem.
Chu Xi stopped crying and cried even louder.
”No, it's my daughter who wants to go.”
Chu Xi was arrogant. Even if she didn't like Chu Zhi in her heart, she wouldn't say it in her mouth.
No matter how Wu pressed, Chu Xi didn't speak, but said, ”mother, don't force your daughter any more!”
Unexpectedly, he was misunderstood by Wu.
Good!
A wild child who grew up in the mountains just pretended to be her daughter. He wanted to get rid of her pearl a few days after he returned to the house. It was amazing.
Wu stood up and walked out.
After arriving at the door, he stopped again and called mother Cui for questioning.
”Let me ask you, what happened? How could the girl be so wronged? She's so old. I've never seen her cry so sad.”
At the thought of Chu Xi crying out of breath just now, Wu's heart was aching.
Mother Cui was worried that her wife would check. She didn't expect the girl to be so popular. In a few words, she asked her wife to stand out for her.
He pretended to hesitate and said, ”in fact, it's no big deal, but the next people said a few gossip. The girl thought she was going to be sent away, so she couldn't bear to let her wife cry.”
Then he looked like he wanted to talk and stop.
Wu's eyes were sharp: ”go on.”
Mother Cui hesitated and said, ”the old lady loved Miss Chu Zhi and gave her two pieces of material. You also know that the girl grew up around you since she was a child. She hasn't seen anything. How can she be angry because of the two pieces of material? The reason why the girl is so is between the old lady's words...”
”Are you dissatisfied with me and Xi'er?” Wu took over mother Cui's words and said.
”This... Maidservant dare not.” mother Cui quickly knelt on the ground in fear. ”These are the words that people heard. They can't be true. Madam, don't take them to heart.”
”Good! That's good!” Wu shivered angrily, ”I know she's always dissatisfied with me. I've recognized how she competes with me, but I didn't expect to be so eccentric! Is that little thing my own? Let alone, how can she compare with my Xi'er because she can't get on the stage? Now she blames my Xi'er because of that little thing and wants to send me Xi'er away? Hum! As long as I'm here, I don't think who dares to send Xi'er away!”
