For a long time, Xiao Mohan remained silent. He only nodded to Yang Guiying before departing with Xiao Jiashu.
Zhao Xier pursed her red lips and felt a twinge of guilt, but her image could not be ruined. Not only that day, but she may have to say even harsher words to Xiao Mohan in the future. That was something that could not be avoided. 'Tsk, forget about it. At most, I will cover for Xiao Mohan and make amends for my mistakes.'
Zhao Xier was thinking about that when she heard the wind nearby. Yang Guiying's feather duster landed on her body before she could react. It was not very strong, but it irritated her. "What did you just say? He was kind enough to give us something, and you not only did not thank him, but you also called him disgusting!"
Zhao Xier opened her mouth to explain, but when she realized she was the one who had said those words, she closed it. She was unable to tell her grandmother about the villainous supporting male character or the utility system. Even if she did, she would dismiss her. She would only believe there was something wrong with her brain and fabricate lies to manipulate her. So she would better stop talking.
Yang Guiying knew that Zhao Xier had a bad temper and was used to being domineering outside. However, in her opinion, Zhao Xier was still kind by nature. Therefore, she was not angry when she was usually mean. However, that was completely different from before! Yang Guiying was furious. She hit Zhao Xier's back with a feather duster. "What's wrong with you today? It's fine if you don't like this or that, but if you don't like that kid, just pretend you didn't see him. How can you say such hurtful words?"
Zhao Xier did not want to explain anything, but seeing Yang Guiying tremble with rage, she was afraid the older woman would become ill from it, so she could only say, "Grandma, I know I was wrong. That was not my intention. I am not going to do it again.
Yang Guiying's face softened when he heard that. She paused, looking down at Zhao Xier's rare obedience. She did not hit her. "What is the point of apologizing to me?" she said, tossing the feather duster to the ground. "Didn't you notice Xiao Mohan's horrified expression after hearing what you said? You will be apologizing to him."
When Zhao Xier heard that, she nodded perfunctorily. "Yes, you're right, Grandma. I'll apologize to Xiao Mohan tomorrow."
Unfortunately, Yang Guiying did not believe Zhao Xier's words. She frowned and remembered that not only Xiao Mohan but even Xiao Jiashu were afraid of Zhao Xier. "No, I'm worried about you. Come with me now and apologize to them in person. "
Zhao Xier had intended to be brief, but she did not expect Yang Guiying to say that. She slowly widened her eyes. "What?!"
Yang Guiying sneered, grabbed Zhao Xier's neck, and walked out. "It is not embarrassing for a man to make a mistake. Who has not made mistakes in their lives? It is highly embarrassing if you do not admit your error!"
"Okay, okay, okay. Grandma, stop nagging. I'll go. I'll go, okay? " Zhao Xier pushed Yang Guiying's hand away. She did not want to apologize to Xiao Mohan, but Yang Guiying was not easily fooled. Zhao Xier rolled her eyes and grabbed Yang Guiying's hand. "But Grandma, can you not come with me? I'm a proud person. If you keep staring at me, I won't be able to apologize."
Zhao Xier's words were genuine. She was always worried about her reputation. She had been beaten up by seniors when she was younger and was always covered in bruises. She was embarrassed and suppressed her feelings until Yang Guiying discovered that her wound had become inflamed. She was then taken to the hospital.
"Sure, but don't play any tricks. I'll ask Xiao Mohan tomorrow. If he says you didn't apologize to him, I'll make you kneel in the courtyard," Yang Guiying said after thinking for a while.
Zhao Xier said, "Are you even my grandmother?"
Zhao Xier murmured to herself as she approached the Xiao family. She could not bring herself to apologize. She was very fond of her life. Zhao Xier stood outside for a while after walking out the door. She sighed as she noticed Yang Guiying still staring at her through the window and could only go to the door and knock.
"Who is it? Is that you, Chen Guang?" Ye Zhen had just washed the dishes. When she heard the knocking, she quickly wiped her hands and opened the door. When she saw Zhao Xier standing outside, the smile on her face suddenly froze. "Young Master Zhao? What's the matter?"
