"Slap—"
Before Xie Jinya's hand could land, Lin Chuxia reached out and blocked it.
"You dare to fight back? How dare you!" Xie Jinya failed to hit her target and tried to switch hands, but Lin Chuxia dodged them all.
Lin Chuxia did not want to fight with Xie Jinya, but that did not mean she was willing to stand there and take the beating like last time.
Not succeeding with her slap, and nearly throwing herself off balance, Xie Jinya stood there cursing furiously: "You despicable girl, you're truly an ingrate! We never should have acknowledged you back into the family! Why couldn't you just die outside!"
Xie Jinya had already lost her reason to anger, speaking without a filter, and likely even she herself hadn't realized what she just said.
Standing behind Xie Jinya, An Mingyu was stunned; he never expected his mother, ever so gentle and dignified, to spout such vicious words.
