691 Filthy Blood (1/2)

However, today was the matter of protecting her step-daughter. So what if she's a step-daughter? A daughter is still a daughter! Yours or mine, why would that matter? This was Zhao Huan's pure and innocent thoughts.

But obviously, other people won't agree with this. For them, if she's my daughter then she's precious. If she isn't my daughter, why bother caring?

Xiu who was protected behind Zhao Huan felt like someone wrapped a warm blanket around her body. Because of her mental state and her pregnancy, her emotions were in disarray already. But she suddenly felt so calm when she heard Zhao Huan's words.

For the first time, she also had a mother to hide behind. Without realizing it, Xiu's tears slid down her cheeks. Only when she tasted the saltiness did she realize that she was crying like an idiot. How absurd was it that she was touched by such a simple act?

Zhao Huan turned around and seeing Xiu's tears, her eyes widened. She wiped Xiu's tears and caressed her face saying, ”Silly one! Why are you crying?”

Like a little kid, Xiu lifted her finger and pointed at her bloody cheek saying, ”It hurts.”

Zhao Huan felt her clenching as she held her in her embrace and stroked her back soothingly. ”It's okay. I'm here now. Should I blow on it? It won't hurt again.”

Xiu snorted, ”I'm not a kid.”

”Yes, yes. You're not a kid.” Zhao Huan agreed before she beckoned Darren over and passed her over saying, ”You take care of her. Let me take care of the rest.” She turned around to face Zhao Wei as she said, ”Dear little sister, your daughter has made my daughter cry. How are you gonna fix this?”

Zhao Wei was completely confused as to why Zhao Huan would be so protective over Xiu. Oh, and let's not forget that Zhao Wei was very familiar with Zhao Huan's nature since the latter was her elder sister. Even though they now weren't on good terms, once they were also like a pair of adjoined twins.

”Auntie Huan, you can't be this unreasonable as well,” Qiu Meihui couldn't speak for herself but her best friend Liu Nuan could. ”You can clearly see what this wild girl did to Meihui. How can you take her side?”

”Meihui took the first step, how can you blame it on Xiu?” retorted Zhao Huan without any hesitation. She looked at Xin Xiaoli as she asked, ”Xiao Li, who started the verbal abuse first?”

Xin Xiaoli looked over at Qiu Meihui coldly as he answered, ”She did.”
