Chapter 322: Are You Nearby?
Lin Fengying knocked on Si Xiaohui’s door for a long time but the door remained shut. Seeing Song Yu sitting in the yard with a gloomy face, she felt extremely awkward, unable to ascertain whether Si Xiaohui was crying because she got hit or because of Gu Hongwei.
Si Xiaohui had been sobbing alone in her room until Si Weimin returned home. Seeing her red and swollen eyes, Si Weimin expressed concern.
"What happened? Why are your eyes so swollen from crying? You shouldn’t cry during your postpartum recovery period as it may cause eye discomfort later."
After saying this, he frowned and gave Song Yu a nasty look, which frightened Song. He hurriedly said, "Uncle, I didn’t bully Xiaohui. Look, Xiaohui scratched me like this, and I didn’t even fight back."
"It really has nothing to do with Song Yu." Lin Fengying seemed to want to say something but held back, as if there was something inconvenient to say.
Si Weimin was completely baffled and asked curiously, "What happened?"
Si Xiaohui waited for a long while before speaking with a choked voice, exaggerating: "Uncle, Tong Yao has been treating me poorly. When I took mum to visit her, she slapped me. I’m still recovering from giving birth, yet she hit me. My face is swollen from the hit, and she even declared that I am not allowed in her shop, claiming that it is her shop and I am not worthy of going there. She called me disgraceful and said I was a disgrace to the Si Family."
When he heard that Si Xiaohui had been hit and humiliated, Si Weimin’s face immediately darkened. He glanced at Lin Fengying, and seeing her silent as if acknowledging Xiaohui’s words, his brows furrowed severely.
Seeing her uncle concerned, Si Xiaohui continued tearfully: "Uncle, is it because I’ve been without a father since I was young and had no one to support me, so Tong Yao dares to treat me this way? If my father were alive, he surely wouldn’t sit by and let others bully me."
Those words stung Si Weimin deeply, filling his heart with guilt. With a stern face, he said, "No one can bully you. Tonight, I will have a talk with Xiaochen."
