Chapter 93: Saved by the Minor Antagonist (8)_1
"Looking at the Ruanlin Family, she said, ’Auntie Ruan, I’m just disciplining my own boy here. Aren’t you thinking too much?’"
"Heh, if you really cared about him, would you have kept silent when he didn’t come home for a day and a night? You’re really doing a great job as a stepmother. It seems we’ll need to have a little chat about how well you’re playing the part of a stepmother in the village sometime!"
When Liu Mei married Xiu Jianlin, everyone knew she had engaged in unsavory tactics. In the first two years, she was the talk of the team, but things had settled down a bit in the past two years.
Liu Mei might have been shameless, but she still didn’t like it when others pointed at her and said she was a mean stepmother. At those words, she fell silent.
After a while, she responded reluctantly and coldly, "Auntie Ruan, aren’t you meddling a bit too much? I’m disciplining my own child, not yours. Why do you care so much?"
"Well, I’ll tell you this—I’m going to take care of Xiaoxi!" Ruanlin Family responded forcefully, "Since you’re not fit to be a stepmother, you don’t need to bother with him anymore. From now on, the Ruan Family will take responsibility for everything concerning him."
"On what grounds?!"
"Because he is our family’s lifesaver!"
"Lifesaver?" Liu Mei’s voice became shrill as she turned to look at Ruan Jiaojiao, her eyes widening in disbelief. Could it be that Ruan Jiaojiao was saved by him?
With a lift of his eyes, Xiu Xi’s pupils glowed green, emitting a chill. When he looked her way, Liu Mei’s heart skipped a beat, and she immediately averted her gaze, yelling ’Do as you wish,’ before turning and running away.
