Chapter 227 Conflict escalates
Fang Yi felt a little complicated when she saw Shen Qin didn't show up.
The old man explained, "Shen Qin has been busy lately and may not be able to come back in time today. Let's eat first."
Fang Yi nodded, not knowing whether she was more relieved or disappointed.
She hasn't seen her mother for so long. Oh, there was one time, when she was admitted to the hospital. But after knowing the truth, she never came once. Does she hate her?
She heaved a sigh of relief after all the psychological preparation she had put in for so long was in vain, and sat down next to the old man. She didn't blame anyone else, but she had mixed feelings towards this "mother".
"Dad, I want to eat that."
Little Douding has learned how to order food. Apart from the vegetables that he must eat, he can ask Ji Yuan to pick up whatever he wants for the other dishes.
Fang Yi took a closer look and thought that it would be great if her son could be as sensible as her in the future. Sisi was smart and well-behaved, able to express his ideas accurately and with witty remarks. He was simply a typical son of other people's families.
"Xiaoyi, you're welcome. Eat more."
Shen Luoyan said gently, Fang Yi smiled at her and nodded
Alas, Xiaoyi's smile to Yanyan was bigger and more natural. The old man and Shen Yu looked a little sad.
After dinner, Xiao Douding was going back to Ji's house with Ji Yuan today. After taking a break, he went upstairs to pack his backpack. Fang Yi chatted with the old man downstairs. Seeing that it was getting late, he planned to go back to school.
"It's okay. I'll ask your uncle to take you back later. He's going back to his place."
The old man was a little reluctant to leave. Time had passed too quickly tonight. He pulled Fang Yi aside and gave her a lot of instructions, telling her to take care of herself and to tell them if she had any problems. She should never act stubbornly.
Fang Yi looked at the old man in front of her. His face was full of wrinkles and ravines. The marks of years of fighting were still there. He looked at her with a loving face.
"Got it...Thank you, Grandpa."
Her heart was moved, and she could not bear to disappoint the old man again, so she changed her words and called him "Grandpa".
The old man was so happy that he kept saying "good" and laughed so hard that his eyes almost disappeared. He stood up and planned to send his granddaughter to the door.
Shen Luoyan looked at her uncle and whispered to him, "Uncle, you are the only one who has not been recognized by Xiaoyi yet. Try harder~"
"Don't worry, it's easy to deal with a girl like this... Ji Yuan, what are you doing!"
Ji Yuan pushed Shen Yu and Shen Luoyan aside, inserted himself between the two, and looked at Shen Yu with a smile on his face: "Uncle, I want to listen too."
Shen Luoyan covered her mouth and turned her head to the side, with only her shoulders shaking, as if she was laughing. Shen Yu gritted his teeth and looked at his nephew with a look of regret: "You are really a -"
Be careful, be careful
There was a car sound at the door, and someone came in. Shen Luoyan looked up and found that it was Shen Qin, and his expression changed slightly.
Is there going to be a storm?
"Dad, I'm back." Shen Qin came in and greeted the old man first with a smile on her face. When she saw Fang Yi beside the old man, her face changed and she looked at her coldly.
"......Why are you back?" The old man glared at her and blurted out in a bad tone, "Aren't you busy?"
"I... came back to take a look." Shen Qin stared at Fang Yi's face, as if he wanted to stare two holes into her.
Shen Luoyan hurried forward, grabbed Fang Yi and said, "Aunt, this is Fang Yi, Xiaoyi, this..."
"I know." Shen Qin interrupted her directly, sneered and said, "I didn't expect you to dare to come?"
"Sister!" Shen Yu couldn't help but speak out to stop her. If his sister wanted to do something wrong, it shouldn't be now!
"What? You don't recognize your sister just because you had a meal with her?!" Shen Qin was extremely emotional tonight. Shen Luoyan secretly said that it was not good. It would be best to separate them first.
"Um...Aunt, why don't we sit down first? It's not good to stand at the door, right?"
Shen Qin became even angrier when she heard this, and pointed at Fang Yi and said, "I won't sit with her."
Fang Yi went from being at a loss at first to being in deep thought and now having a heavy expression. She glanced at Shen Qin and said, "I dare to come because I'm not a coward like you!"
"What did you say?!" Shen Qin's voice was a little sharp, "You said I was a coward?!"
"You don't? You're the only one who doesn't dare to show up from now on. You must hate me, right?"
Fang Yi's words were calm and sharp, peeling off the mask on Shen Qin's face one by one. She opened her eyes wide in disbelief because Fang Yi expressed her thoughts.
She really hated this unexpected person who had never met her before and suddenly appeared in her life, no matter whether it was before or now.
“Shen Qin!!” The old man knocked his cane, and the muffled sound brought her back to her senses. He looked at her with dissatisfaction: “She is your daughter!”
"Dad, you speak for her?! Am I still your daughter?!"
Shen Qin suppressed the anger rising in her heart. It was this person in front of her... it was this person... her beautiful life was ruined by this person! !
"She's not my daughter! I don't have a daughter!!"
"Sister! What are you talking about?!" Shen Yu also shouted loudly. He looked at the disbelief in Fang Yi's eyes and understood how much it meant for a biological mother to say these words in front of a child.
"Xiaoyi..." Shen Luoyan held her shoulders and noticed that her shoulders were trembling slightly. Then, she stopped and only heard her say
"It just so happens that I don't want you to be my mother either."
"Because compared to my mother, you are nothing but scum, even worse than trash."
She spoke out her heart word by word, knowing that once she said this, her relationship with the Shen family might fall to the bottom of a cliff, but she still said it.
Shen Qin felt a buzzing in her ears at that moment. Was she scolding herself? What right did she have to scold herself? ! She was furious. She raised her right hand high and slapped her in the face fiercely.
The slap landed on Shen Luoyan's face as she pulled Fang Yi back. With a slap, the whole house fell into a dead silence.
