572 Chopped Into A Million Pieces (2/2)

Ying hurriedly hid behind Xin Zimen's chair like a rabbit as she said, ”Ah-Li, listen to me first. You can't judge a situation from one perspective. She had touched my bottom-line. So, I ended up slapping her.”

Xin Zimen's brows quirked up as he tilted his head to glance at Ying, questioning, ”You actually slapped Qiu Meihui?”

Ying rubbed her neck sheepishly, ”I did. But...”

”I don't believe it!” Xin Zimen honestly couldn't believe this fact. He knew Ying best. He knew this girl had a lot of patience. Otherwise, she'd have long smacked some sense into Qiu Meihui's brain. But she always lived with restraint. No matter what, it wasn't that easy to make Ying act on impulse.

”I think you should believe it, dad,” said Xin Xiaoli as he came up to both of them. ”She really slapped Meihui.”

”You can't yell at me for that,” warned Ying. ”She was truly in the wrong this time around.”

”I'm not here to yell at you,” stated Xiao Li while rubbing his forehead. ”But will you tell me what really happened?”

”Didn't she tell you?” Ying widened her eyes in shock since she had expected Qiu Meihui to have exaggerated everything by now like she always did.

”Meihui didn't tell me anything. She was just crying badly. It was Liu Nuan who told me about what you did. However, I don't trust her version of the story. So, will you tell me what really happened?”

”Oh,” Ying finally understood. These best friends truly knew how to stage a show. One cried pitiful tears to gather sympathy and the other complained about the grievance her best friend suffered at the hands of a brutal villain; Ying who should be chopped up into a million pieces by now to repay for such crime! Pei!

Xin Zimen shook Ying's body saying, ”Stop playing the monologue in your head. Just answer it already, even I'm curious why you became so impulsive all of a sudden.”

Ying shuddered at the way Xin Zimen read her mind at a glance and answered honestly, ”Actually I was already very stressed about something. Then that stupid Liu Nuan said somethings that made me even angrier. The rest of the patience I had was kicked away by Meihui herself. Who told her to insult someone's feelings? I couldn't take it when she actually pulled a dead person out of its grave to condemn her feelings.”

Ying pouted at Xin Zimen as she asked, ”Did I do something wrong? I never spoke when it was me. But what right does she have to question someone's feelings?” She took a pause and added, ”And let's be honest, she had it coming for years.”

Xiao Li took a deep breath and said, ”Let's have some private talk.”

Ying held on to Xin Zimen's arm shaking her head like a rattle, ”No! You're angry! I don't want to hear anything from you.”

”Are you kidding me?! I just have something to talk with you,” Xiao Li was really didn't know whether to laugh or be angry at this stubborn girl who acted like he was gonna beat her.

”Let's just talk here. Right before Zizi!”

”Dad, say something to her.”

Xin Zimen shrugged his shoulders as he replied, ”I was asked to never interfere between two best friends. I'll keep my distance from this.”

Ying grinned happily while Xiao Li was left speechless at this biasedness of his father. His family truly was one of a kind.
