Chapter 290: May I ask Who are You Looking for?
...
Returning to her room, Tong Yao was unaware of what had happened downstairs. She was having a meal with Si Chen at a small table. As she passed a piece of meat to Si Chen, she also mentioned that Yuan Caizhen had visited.
"Auntie came to see me and complained about Xiaohui being bossy at her house. I told her not to take Xiaohui’s nonsense seriously. Xiaohui is a bully and gets scared easily."
Si Chen didn’t think Tong Yao did anything wrong and nodded calmly, "If she doesn’t experience hardship now, she’ll suffer in society later. It’s time to discipline her."
Curious, Tong Yao asked with chopsticks in her mouth, "But honestly, Xiaohui and my uncle have been separated for so many years. She should at least feel a bit estranged. Instead, she moved into their home like it’s her own, let alone the fact that her mother is also there. She really doesn’t feel like she’s an outsider."
Based on Tong Yao’s understanding of Si Xiaohui, she shouldn’t have had the audacity to take over others’ home.
Si Chen furrowed his eyebrows as if he was thinking about something and said coldly, "He has always been good to Xiaohui since she was a child, almost like a father figure to her."
Isn’t it true that a daughter loves to act spoiled and unreasonable in front of her father due to his pampering?
Tong Yao instantly understood.
Seeing Si Chen’s unhappy face, she quickly changed the subject, "Lijuan’s expected delivery date is around October. You’ll be preparing for your postgraduate exam then, so you probably won’t be able to go back. I can go alone!"
