Chapter 213 - 205: The Way of Power
Mo Xiaomi had regained consciousness, her face still very pale, her head wrapped tightly so her yin and yang hair was no longer visible. Her spirits were not bad, and she smiled happily when she saw Tian Sisi and the others, asking a middle-aged woman beside her to bring out some pastries for Tian Sisi and her friends to eat.
The middle-aged woman bore a resemblance to Mo Xiaomi, and was likely her mother. Mrs. Mo was a very warm person, and although there was a trace of worry between her brows, she still smiled and brought out the pastries, setting them on the coffee table and inviting Tian Sisi and the others to eat.
Tian Sisi and her group did not stay long, exchanging a few greetings before taking their leave, as they were not very close to Mo Xiaomi, and their visit was mainly motivated by a sense of guilt.
After Tian Sisi and her group left, Mrs. Mo asked her daughter, "Xiaomi, how did you become friends with them?"
"We didn’t become friends, just played together for a while."
Mo Xiaomi explained to her mother the events that had occurred in the mountains and in the courtyard the day before. Mrs. Mo’s expression grew increasingly somber as she listened, having only rushed here this morning after receiving news from Tian Pinggui. She only knew that her daughter’s head had been injured by Nana, unaware there was so much hidden turmoil!
It was her fault, knowing that Xiaomi disliked playing with Nana, yet she still forced Xiaomi to play with her. Thankfully, the Tian family had sent her to the hospital in time, otherwise who knows what might have happened!
She had known that Nana had a bad temper, but she hadn’t expected her to be this malicious. This wasn’t just a bad temper; it was like having a psychiatric disorder! Her aunt had always boasted about how well-behaved and sensible her daughter was, which was simply nauseating now.
"Mama, from now on, let Zhou Nana visit us less. If she comes, I’ll leave. Either she’s not here, or I’m not here."
In her family, Mo Xiaomi was the cherished princess; she had never suffered such grievances before. She now despised Zhou Nana, actually preferring if her second aunt’s family didn’t visit at all. Only her mother and her eldest aunt still cared about sibling affection, failing to see her second aunt’s true colors.
"Understood, Mama won’t let Zhou Nana visit us anymore. You should sleep a bit longer; the doctor said you need to rest and speak less."
A sister’s affection could never match that between mother and daughter. Without hesitation, Mrs. Mo marked Zhou Nana as someone with whom the Mo family should cease all contact.
