He grabbed Guan Xi's slender wrist angrily. "How dare you roll your eyes at me? You are nothing in this family. Nothing! You're can't even compare to a dog. You..."
Guan Xi chuckled. Xiao Jingming has either always been this stupid or he was coming unhinged.
With a gorgeous smile on her lips, she cut him off coldly, "Why should I look up to you, Young Master Xiao? I'm your aunt, your elder. You have to be respectful to me, not the other way around."
She looked at her wrist that Xiao Jingming was holding.
Her poor wrist has suffered so much today.
She frowned and was about to shake Xiao Jingming's grip off when she heard a faint sound coming from behind Xiao Jiuyan's door.
A mischievous glint flashed across Guan Xi's eyes. She smiled and said sweetly, "How about you be a good nephew and call me aunt from now on?"
"Gu Wenxi, you..."
Xiao Jingming was shaking with anger. He was just about to rip into her when suddenly, the door behind him opened.
Xiao Jiuyan appeared behind the door, frowning. "Why are you two arguing outside my room?"
"Uncle... Uncle Jiu..."
Xiao Jingming wasn't expecting Xiao Jiuyan to come out and was taken aback.
'Did he hear everything that he said?'
Xiao Jingming doesn't fear anyone in the entire Xiao family except for Xiao Jiuyan, which was ridiculous because he was bound in a wheelchair.
If his uncle had heard everything that he said, he would skin him alive.
Xiao Jingming prayed that his uncle didn't hear anything.
"Master Jiu."
Guan Xi's eyes were red and watery as she said aggrievedly, "Jingming said that I'm not good enough for you. He said that I'm nothing in the Xiao family. He said that I'm not even comparable to a dog. He told me to leave the Xiao family. I know I'm not good enough for you, but... but I really like you. Please don't make me leave."
As she spoke, the tears that had filled her eyes fell down her fair cheeks.
She looked so pitiful that it was actually moving.
Xiao Jingming stared at her in shock.
'WHAT THE F*CK?'
"Uncle Jiu, that's not what happened. Listen to me, it's her fault..."
Xiao Jiuyan's frown deepened. "Xiao Jingming, run a hundred laps around the villa. You're not allowed to sleep until you finish all your laps."
Xiao Jingming whined, "Uncle Jiu, I can't run that many laps. I will die!"
"Continue complaining and I'll make it 150," Xiao Jiuyan responded coldly.
Xiao Jingming didn't dare to say anything more. He resigned himself to his fate and walked out of the mansion.
Before he left, he threw a glare at the still crying Gu Wenxi.
Guan Xi met Xiao Jingming's eyes and smiled at him, making sure that Xiao Jiuyan couldn't see her.
If he thought it was gonna be easy to intimidate her, he's got another thing coming.
Naive!
Behind her, Xiao Jiuyan called, "Gu Wenxi!"
Like a student whose name had been called by the teacher, Guan Xi immediately stood up straight. "Yes?"
She looked at Xiao Jiuyan timidly. He now has casual clothes on which covered his perfect figure. If she was being honest, she was kind of bummed that she couldn't ogle him in all his full glory again.
Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears as she bit her lips and softly said, "Master Jiu, I'm sorry."
