Chapter 5: A Slap!
Shi Caining's thoughts ran wild for a moment before her cell phone rang in her pocket.
"Hey, mom, I'm back now. I ran into my classmate last night..."
"Shut up!" A sharp and angry voice rang out from the other side. It was Shi Caining's biological mother, Mo Xiao.
"Come to the Inpatient Department of the People's Hospital, Room 1302 immediately!"
Before Shi Caining could respond, the other side cut off the call.
Shi Caining's heart sank. Hospital? What happened at home?
Shi Caining intended to call Shi Qianyu first, but no one picked up after a few calls.
Half an hour later, Shi Caining finally arrived at the hospital. She had just knocked on the door of Room 1302. Before Shi Caining could figure out what was going on, her mother slapped her fair little face.
Pa!
"Sis... Mom, don't blame sister!"
Shi Caining took two steps back from the slap. Her right face immediately started to burn with pain. The force of the slap was too strong, and her head was also buzzing!
It was not until a few seconds later that Shi Caining finally regained her senses.
She was in a daze as she straightened her face and looked at her mother, who had an angry expression on her face.
Her biological mother had hit her.
Shi Caining's eyes turned red, and her delicate body trembled slightly. Before she could say anything, her mother had pointed at her nose and scolded, "Shi Caining! I asked you to deliver food to Qian Zhongli, but you actually hit him! You're not a child anymore, and you can't even do a little thing well. Our Shi family isn't the Shi family of the past. Why are you so arrogant? Can't he just make a little joke?"
Shi Caining looked at her mother in shock. She had never expected that that bastard would complain first! Of course, she was even more shocked that Mo Xiao did not believe that her daughter and would actually believe that old bastard.
"Mother, stop talking... Oh, my leg... It hurts!" Shi Qianyu could only pretend to cry out in anxiety when she saw Shi Caining receive a slap.
Mother Shi turned around anxiously to support Shi Qianyu, who was about to sit up. Her face was filled with heartache.
"Don't move! Your leg isn't healing so quickly. Daddy will bring some chicken soup to mend it for you later," Mother Shi said with heartache.
Shi Caining stood there numbly.
How many times had it been?
How many times had her mother neglected and blamed her? Every time, it was Shi Caining's fault. She was clearly her biological daughter.
Seeing Shi Caining standing there stubbornly, Mother Shi turned her head back and angrily said, "Also, you asked your sister to climb a mountain and ride a bicycle. Did you see your sister fall to such a state? It's all your fault! Shi Caining, do you still think our family isn't messy enough? Not poor enough? Your father lost his job because of you!"
"Mom! How can you believe what others say... No matter what, you have to ask sister what's going on!" Shi Qianyu's expression darkened as she hurriedly held onto her mother's hand.
"Sis, go back first. Let mom calm down before you come back..." Shi Qianyu immediately winked at Shi Caining.
However, Shi Caining just stood there motionlessly. Her thin lips were almost bitten open by her.
She was trying her best to hold back the tears in her eyes. No matter what, she had to defend herself this time.
"Mom, why are you willing to believe the words of an outsider... And not your own daughter? It's clearly..."
"Shut up!" Mother Shi yelled at Shi Caining in annoyance. "Get lost immediately! I don't want to see you!"
