Chapter 706: Last Words
Upon hearing Si Xiaohui’s words, before Tong Yao could speak, Si Chen said harshly, "Si Xiaohui, if you continue to make a fuss, you can leave now. Either you leave, or we return to Kyoto, and you will have to handle all the remaining stuff."
Upon hearing this, Si Boyi promptly declared, "Older brother, if she keeps causing scenes, I will wash my hands of her. Let her do whatever she wants!"
Seeing both of them react this way, Si Xiaohui instantly stopped causing a commotion. The money for her return trip was borrowed, and if both her older brothers refused to help, where would she get the money for the funeral!
Although she knew her brothers wouldn’t really abandon her, they surely had the capability to evict her. This time, coming home with no money, they may let her stay for a few days out of respect for their mother. Otherwise, she would have to sleep on the street.
She sniffled, calmed herself, and cast a wronged look at Si Chen. "I’m not going to talk back anymore, big brother, why are you losing your temper? No matter what, we three siblings have grown up together. I have never troubled you guys in these past years. No matter how hard or exhausting my life was, I managed it all on my own. Even if you hate or blame me, I have paid my dues throughout these years, haven’t I?"
At her words, Tong Yao snorted coldly and turned her head away, unwilling to look at her.
Zhang Lijuan was even more disgusted. If it weren’t for Lin Fengying’s condition worsening, she wouldn’t have wanted Si Xiaohui to come back at all.
But to her surprise, after Si Chen heard her words, he frowned and said, "The hardships you’ve suffered are of your own making and have nothing to do with anyone else. We’re all adults. You should learn to take care of yourself."
