Chapter 1036: Chapter 1036: He Defends His Own Fiercely to the Core Chapter 1036: Chapter 1036: He Defends His Own Fiercely to the Core Su Xiansui just couldnât keep her composure and chimed in, âI donât think sheâs that sensible.â
Su Yi was startled and scolded her, âXiansui!â
Having been yelled at, Su Xiansui pouted unwillingly, muttering softly, âThatâs true. When is she ever sensible? Auntie, you gave in to let her leave the entertainment industry but she refused. Itâs clear she doesnât like cousin that much. Her act of being obedient in front of Mrs. Lin is just to deceive others. If she were truly sensible, she wouldnât have embarrassed Auntie.â
Su Yi felt a throbbing in her temple and glared at her, âWhat kind of talk is that for a little girl? Where did you learn to gossip like this? I think you need to find an etiquette teacher to study with when you get back!â
âI didnât lie,â Su Xiansui said in a voice so low, but loud enough for everyone to hear.
Su Yi could feel her nephew, Li Shengxiaoâs, face suddenly harden as he looked their way, his eyes simmering with barely suppressed anger. She wished she could sew Su Xiansuiâs mouth shut with a needle. The girl had been spoiled by her normally and acted on impulse, which was fine around others as Su Yi could support her, but she was too bold in front of Shengxiao and might suffer for it.
She thought that if Su Xiansui would just keep her mouth shut, Li Shengxiao might overlook it for her sake, but it was already too late, âPerhaps lacking parental discipline from a young age is the reason for her lack of manners. Rather than finding her an etiquette teacher, it would be better to send her back to reunite with her parents. Itâs been a long time since her parents have seen her, and those unaware might think the Lin Family has stolen someone elseâs daughter.â
âWanwan will soon return to live here for a while with her newborn child. She is in confinement and needs peace and quiet. Once she returns, Auntie wonât have time to care for anyone else. Isnât that right?â
Su Yi, feeling the awkwardness, nearly couldnât find a way out, not knowing how to respond. If she agreed, she would have to send Su Xiansui away.
Li Shengxiaoâs piercing gaze seemed to see through her hesitation, and he said thinly, âWanwan previously asked me over the phone if you and your niece were especially close. After I said yes, I could sense her confusion. She survived a near-death experience giving birth this time, and the reason she will return home during her confinement is that she has symptoms of postpartum depression. Chu Yi is accompanying her back to help her relax. Auntie should have heard about the seriousness of postpartum depression. Sometimes it might not seem like a big deal, but thereâs nothing you can do if she starts to overthink, and if it leads to irreparable consequences, Auntie might regret it.â
He was blatantly telling her to leave.
Su Xiansuiâs face was ashen, flushed with anger, âCousin, what are you suggesting? Are you implying that Iâm competing with my sister for Auntieâs affection? Iâm not that kind of person!â
Li Shengxiao had never liked her, precisely because Su Xiansui, despite not being young, liked to act as if she was and behaved capriciously and arrogantly, speaking and acting irresponsibly without thought, doing whatever came to her mind. Perhaps she meant no harm when she didnât act, but she always ended up making others uncomfortable.
Just like before. She had no personal relationships or offenses with Rong Yan, but she had to bring up the wrong subject at the wrong time. She thought she was telling the truth, without considering if her words could hurt others.
Whether unintentional slights or deliberate ones, both were equally detestable!
Faced with Su Xiansuiâs indignation, he ignored her and turned to the hesitant Su Yi, âAuntie, this is also what Chu Yi asked me to tell you. Iâve relayed the message; the rest is for you to consider.â
