Madam Li tried to strike again, but this time her arm was caught by another hand.
Huo Sichen's expression was exceptionally ugly. He shoved Madam Li back, his face icy.
"What are you doing?"
Madam Li looked at her daughter, who had buried her face in her hands, and accused angrily, "How could you have caused your brother to almost become a murderer and get arrested?"
"He's still so young, what will he do if he gets a criminal record?"
Seeing that her daughter was hiding in Huo Sichen's arms and not speaking, Madam Li became even angrier: "If you think that you are safe now, you are mistaken. Each time I asked you to go to him for help for your brother, you were only paying lip service."
"Now you have personally caused your brother to be arrested!"
Madam Li's face was filled with grief and disappointment. Her gaze felt like a dagger to Li Susu's heart.
She remained silent for a moment, finally accepting the fact that she had been slapped by her mother in front of Huo Sichen.
