Guan Xi smiled. "That's okay."
Huang Caihua piped in, "Xiao Fei, what would you buy her? You and Yihan have to save up. Don't waste your money."
Guan Xi pretended not to hear that. She looked at the time and said, "Mom, it's getting late. This is the living expenses for you and dad this month. I have to get going."
She took out an envelope full of cash and placed it on the table.
"The money for this month's not that much. Aren't your biological parents rich?" Huang Caihua complained as she took the money. "Alright, go home then."
Guan Jianjun frowned and said, "Xixi, aren't you going to sleep here? We rarely get to see you anymore. Just stay here for tonight and go back in the morning."
Guan Jianjun was not like Huang Caihua. He was still very concerned about his adopted daughter and had always treated Guan Xi and Guan Lele equally.
"It's okay, Dad." Guan Xi smiled sweetly at Guan Jianjun. "I really have to go back tonight."
Guan Lele put the bag that Tong Fei had given her on her shoulder and chimed in, "Dad, Guan Xi has moved out and her room has long been turned into a storage room. Where is she going to sleep? Just let her go back to her own house."
Her adoptive family wasn't aware of her real situation. All they knew was that the Gu family has taken her back to assume her rightful place as the eldest daughter. They did not know that she was forced to marry a cripple for the sake of protecting the Gu family's little princess.
"Dad, Mom, I'll be going now."
Guan Xi was just about to walk out of the house when she heard footsteps behind her.
Guan Yihan's gentle voice sounded from behind her.
"Xixi, I'll take you back."
Guan Xi frowned slightly.
She really did not want to have anything to do with Guan Yihan anymore.
Without turning around, Guan Xi said, "There's no need, brother. I can take a cab by myself."
How could Guan Yihan not see what a spectacularly bad idea his offer was?
He said gently but firmly, "I'm giving you a ride. Wait here and I'll get my car keys."
"Really, there's no need."
"Xi Xi, stop arguing," Guan Yihan said, his tone becoming sterner.
Immediately, Guan Xi knew that this was the end of their discussion. Guan Yihan wouldn't take no for an answer.
While Guan Yihan went back to get his car keys, Guan Xi waited at the front gate.
"Guan Xi."
Tong Fei walked over to where Guan Xi was standing, a smile on her face. "I am really sorry that I forgot to bring you a present."
Guan Xi replied, "There's no need to trouble yourself, Sister-in-law. It's okay, really."
"Now, since you are already out of the Guan family, stop seducing your own brother."
The smile on Tong Fei's face did not change, but the disdain and contempt she was feeling were reflected clearly in her eyes. "You're in love with your brother, aren't you disgusted with yourself?"
Guan Xi was taken aback for a second.
"Yihan is my husband and you're back with your real family now, why are you still clinging on to your brother? It's disgusting."
As Tong Fei spoke, the smile on her face gradually turned cold. "You are not worthy of Yihan."
"Whether I'm worthy of him or not is none of your business."
"What?" Tong Fei was stunned with Guan Xi's reply.
Guan Xi looked up at her, her beautiful eyes clear and cold.
