1012 Perplexed and Smitten 72 (1/2)

Shi Bao'er pretended not to hear her and refused to open the door.

Bu Xianxian asked Uncle Lin for the keys to Shi Bao'er's bedroom. After much consideration, Uncle Lin decided to call Shi Shaochuan before opening the door personally.

Noticing that Bu Xianxian was about to hit Shi Bao'er the moment the door opened, Uncle Lin stopped her and said, ”Ms. Bu, shall we wait until Young Sir is home?”

”No! I will never step foot inside this house again if I don't get to vent my anger today!” Bu Xianxian snapped in exasperation.

Although Uncle Lin was put in a spot, he still stopped her from entering.

Seeing that she had Uncle Lin to back her up, Shi Bao'er said dauntlessly, ”I'll tell my parents exactly what you said to me. Get out of my house now, you shameless slut! I don't want to see you here!”

Bu Xianxian's exasperation knew no limits. She refused to believe that she would be defeated by a child. Hence, she tried to suppress her anger with all her might and waited for Shi Shaochuan to come home.

After hearing about what happened and seeing the bed and ceiling that were destroyed beyond ruin, Shi Shaochuan hit the roof and blew his top.

He called Shi Bao'er over and said, ”What's wrong with you? How did Auntie even provoke you? Must you play a prank on her over and over again? You're getting too brazen. Were you trying to set the entire house on fire?”

Greatly taken aback by his reaction, Shi Bao'er took a few steps back with tears in her eyes. ”I just don't like her. Who told you to let her move in without my permission!?!”

”Why do I need your permission? Bao'er, this is my house, not yours alone. Apologize to Auntie immediately, she's been burned,” he chided.

”No!”

”If you don't, you shall move back to your mother's place. Don't live with me anymore!”

Shi Bao'er's eyes widened in shock; she was thinking to herself that her father was about to abandon her.

Now that Mommy is married and Daddy has a girlfriend, I've become an unloved child.

The thought of it sent tears rolling down Shi Bao'er's cheeks.

Noticing that she had teared up, Shi Shaochuan mellowed his tone and said, ”I'll forgive you if you apologize to Auntie.”

”Why aren't you getting angry at her for saying those things to me? She said that whoever gave birth to me can't be a decent person and that she would deal with me and give me a hard time after you two get married. By then, you won't care about me anymore…” Needless to say, Shi Bao'er had added additional details that were untrue, just to exaggerate things.

”Did she really say that?”

Shi Bao'er nodded and answered, ”Yes, she really did say that. Daddy, that's why I was angry.”

A sullen expression formed on Shi Shaochuan's face as he caressed her head and headed upstairs.

At this moment, Bu Xianxian was waiting for Shi Bao'er to come and apologize to her inside the other room. To her surprise, Shi Shaochuan entered alone.

Noticing the austere expression on his face, she said, ”Don't blame the child, she's still young, after all. I'm just singed. I'll be fine after applying some ointment on my wounds.”

”Why did you have to say those things to her?” he questioned.

”What do you mean?” Bu Xianxian asked in puzzlement.

He repeated Shi Bao'er's words, after which Bu Xianxian immediately said, ”I did say the first line but that's all. I didn't say any of the rest. She was the one who made those up.”

”Okay. I'll just rent an apartment elsewhere for you to live in so as to prevent such things from happening again,” Shi Shaochuan said in frustration.

Bu Xianxian agreed with his suggestion since she did not wish to see Shi Bao'er anyway. However, she felt wronged and indignant because she didn't get the chance to teach Shi Bao'er a lesson.
