Chapter 207 - 207 Educate
207 Educate
In the end, she couldn’t count on the child for the money.
Liang Jie only felt anger in her chest. One slap wasn’t enough to vent her anger. She looked at the red palm mark on Xiao Yi’s face. She had never felt that her daughter was so disgusting.
At such a young age, she already knew how to cling to the rich and powerful to let herself live a good life. She knew that being together with Chuchu is good for her. Then what about her mother? Could she bear to see her mother suffer? As Liang Jie thought about it, her anger surged.
She grabbed Xiao Yi’s hair, and just as her hand was about to fall, Liang De coughed.
“It’s the new year, what are you doing?” Liang De’s expression was ugly and terrifying. “It’s just a New Year greeting. If she doesn’t want to, then don’t. What’s the hurry? Can’t you think straight?”
Liang De’s loud voice was still very intimidating. The table quieted down, and no one dared to speak.
Liang Na had wanted to talk about her wedding, but after Liang Jie’s antics, she lost the mood to talk about it. She tried to smooth things over for Xiao Yi. “Xiao Yi, come over and sit with me.”
Xiao Yi held her face and came over. Liang Jie watched her lean toward Liang De and Liang Na, and she rolled her eyes. However, the old man wanted to make her feel worse. She had no choice but to put down her bowl and chopsticks angrily. She threw a harsh sentence at her. “Watch how I’ll deal with you when we get back!”
“It’s the new year, don’t discipline your child.” Qu Zhi’s casual words immediately caused everyone’s jaws to drop to the ground.
Was she trying to educate Liang Jie?
Liang Jie’s eyes widened.
She wasn’t willing to accept Liang De’s scolding, but Liang De was still Liang De, the elder of the family. Who was Qu Zhi to lecture her?
Liang Jie only felt a ball of fire in her chest rushing to the top of her head. Her face instantly flushed red, and her eyes were sharper than knives. “it’s none of your business!” She still had a lot of malicious words to say, but she swallowed them back when she saw Liang De’s expression.
Qu Zhi didn’t even lift her eyelids. “Xiao Yi is my niece after all. Even if you want to hit the child, you can’t do it in front of me.”
Chuchu, who was standing at the side, didn’t dare to even breathe loudly. Now, she suddenly felt very at ease. Her mother was like her guardian angel, able to take on everything.
Hence, Chuchu ran to Xiao Yi’s side and patted her shoulder. “Don’t be afraid, Xiao Yi. My mother will protect you.”
Liang Wen found her words funny and finally couldn’t hold them in anymore. The corner of his mouth twitched a few times before he laughed out loud.
“What are you laughing at?” Liang Jie shrieked, “Are you all trying to make things difficult for me? I’m leaving, I’m leaving!” Liang Jie picked up the coat on the back of the chair and walked out.
“Stop!” Liang De’s expression was extremely ugly. “Liang Jie, stop right there!”
Liang Jie stood still.
She was angry, but she never dared to disobey Liang De’s words.
“What are you making trouble for? Say it!” Liang De was really angry. Sisi was so scared that she forgot how to cry. Chuchu hurriedly ran over to comfort Sisi. She was as busy as a little spinning top, deeply feeling that this family couldn’t survive without her.
Liang Jie turned around and met Qu Zhi’s gaze. It was so calm and cold as if she was looking at a drama.
Liang Jie felt that she couldn’t let go of her pride. She looked at Liang De and his step-wife, who was standing at the side with grave expressions, and felt she was being targeted by everyone.
She pointed at Qu Zhi’s nose and started scolding, “I can’t accept people like you interfering! The things she did were dirty and messy, so what was there to be proud of? Just mind your own business! And you’re here to control me!”
Liang Wen glared at his sister. He didn’t understand why she would think of his wife like that. He felt that she didn’t understand what Qu Zhi was doing. He subconsciously replied to Liang Jie, “Zhizhi’s company is doing pretty well now. Sister, you can go to her company when you’re free…”
“You shut up!” Liang Jie never thought that Liang Wen would stand on Qu Zhi’s side. “I’m doing this for your own good. I’ve never liked a vixen like her ever since she entered the family! Look at her…”
“Enough!” Liang De interrupted her, “Liang Jie, you should go back. I don’t want to see you.” He didn’t know what kind of stimulation his proud daughter received to become so unreasonable. She actually went around slandering others like a shrew. It was really a little embarrassing.
Liang Jie couldn’t take it anymore. “Okay, I’ll leave! If you don’t want to see me, I’ll leave now!” she reached out to grab Xiao Yi, but was stopped by Liang De’s walking stick.
“She’s with us.” Liang De’s face was expressionless. “You go.”
