She turned to look at Han Xue, the detestable aunty.
“Aunty Han, I’m going to tell my father that you’re destroying the castle’s property,” Xi Xi said angrily.
Han Xue looked at Xi Xi and her eyes dripped with venom as she walked toward Xi Xi. Her hands were balled tightly into fists and she gritted her teeth angrily. She longed to give this little brat a tight slap.
“Go ahead and complain…” she said as she pointed at Xi Xi’s head. Her finger was close enough to press against Xi Xi’s forehead.
Xi Xi smacked away her finger in irritation.
“Aunty Han, you’re a pile of dog shit. You’re nothing but a pile of smelly and hardened dog shit,” she said.
“You…” Han Xue’s face flushed and her eyes blazed in anger.
She suddenly raised her hand and her arm drew an arc across the air as it slammed down hard against Xi Xi’s face.
There was a loud smack.
Then, Xi Xi’s face was completely red and because Han Xue had used such strength when she hit her, Xi Xi fell onto the floor.
“Ah…” Xi Xi let out a shrill shriek.
The maids and security had rushed over when Han Xue raised her hand but they were still too late. This slap had come so suddenly.
Han Xue was quickly subdued by two security guards and Xi Xi was swept into Menglin’s arms.
Xia Jingshu’s face was pale and she couldn’t believe what she had just witnessed. Xi Xi shouldn’t have been so rude to Han Xue but Han Xue would have never flared into such a temper at such childish insults in the past.
Xi Xi clapped her hand over her cheek and her breath came in rapid bursts. She gritted her teeth angrily and her hands were balled tightly into fists.
She did not shed a single tear.
Xia Jingshu asked angrily, “Han Xue, what do you think you’re doing? You shouldn’t take your anger out on a child even if you’re angry at Ye Hao.”
She couldn’t help but admonish Han Xue since she was also very annoyed by Han Xue’s actions.
Couldn’t she tell that the house was already in such a mess? Why couldn’t she speak cordially?
“Xi Xi, come over here,” she said as she looked at her granddaughter. Although her granddaughter was very naughty and often contradicted her, she was still her biological granddaughter.
Xi Xi bit her lips hard and refused to go over. She glared angrily at Han Xue and her eyes were extremely wide.
She glared at Han Xue with a hatred so intense that it didn’t seem like something a child should be feeling at her age.
She swore that she would give this aunty ten hard slaps when she grew older and hit her until she died.
——
The house was a flurry of activity.
Ye Hao returned home 30 minutes later and he rushed home because he heard that Han Xue was smashing things in the castle like a lunatic and smashed all the antiques at home.
“Where’s Han Xue?” he asked Menglin who was clearing the mess.
Ye Hao frowned in annoyance when he saw how messy the hall was.
His home only made him annoyed these days.
“She retired to the bedroom,” Menglin said.
Ye Hao turned and entered the bedroom on the second floor.
The moment he entered the bedroom he could smell the strong scent of alcohol.
Then, he saw the woman holding a wine glass in the room.
“What’s wrong with you? Why were you smashing things at home?” he burst out angrily the moment he saw her.
He couldn’t even be bothered to spare this woman a second glance since he had found her extremely annoying a long time ago.
Han Xue threw her head back and downed the white wine in her glass in one shot.
Ah…
He was finally home.
She guessed that this was probably the only way to force him to remember to come home.
