However, Xiao Cui was still worried because Zuo Weiyi looked very pale.
“Are you sure? You do not look that good right now.”
Xiao Cui was afraid that Zuo Weiyi was injured after the fall.
Zuo Weiyi chuckled when she saw how concerned Xiao Cui was. Therefore, she clutched tightly onto her abdomen as she tried to stand up.
When she saw her trying to stand up, Xiao Cui hurriedly reached out to support her.
Tengtang Xi felt very happy when she saw Zuo Weiyi falling to the ground. After that, she sneered before she said, “Why? Weren’t you very arrogant and haughty before this? Why have you become so vulnerable now?”
As soon as she stood up, Zuo Weiyi stood up before she glanced at Tengtang Xi.
After that, she smiled before she said, “If I had not fallen down, then how am I supposed to let Shi Yuting know that you bullied me today?”
As soon as she heard her words, the smile on Tengtang Xi’s face disappeared immediately.
“You fell on purpose?”
“What do you think?”
“Zuo Weiyi, you dare to make a fool out of me?”
Tengtang Xi knew that Shi Yuting did not like her. If Shi Yuting found out that she had caused Zuo Weiyi to fall down the stairs today, he would only hate her even more!
“Why wouldn’t I dare to do so?”
“You!” Tengtang Xi was extremely furious. Therefore, she raised her hand as she rushed toward Zuo Weiyi because she wanted to give her a slap across the face. However, Xiao Cui immediately rushed in front of Zuo Weiyi to defend and protect her from Tengtang Xi.
Even though Xiao Cui was a little afraid of the powerful Tengtang Xi, she was eager to protect Zuo Weiyi because she was the young mistress of the house. She stared at Tengtang Xi with indignation as she asked, “You! What are you trying to do to Miss Zuo?”
Tengtang Xi was even angrier when she saw that a maid was actually trying to defend Zuo Weiyi.
“You are just a lowly maid. How dare you to talk to me in that manner?” Tengtang Xi asked as she glared at Xiao Cui before giving her a slap across the face.
Slap!
The sound of the slap echoed throughout the entire living room. At this time, Shi Le had a straight expression on his face even though he saw Tengtang Xi slapping the innocent maid.
Even though Shi Le felt that Tengtang Xi was a little too arrogant, he felt that Xiao Cui deserved to be taught a lesson.
After all, in the Shi family, none of the maids would actually be so insubordinate as to rush at the guests. Shi Le felt that Xiao Cui deserved the slap.
Moreover, Tengtang Xi was about to become the young mistress of the Shi family. Therefore, Shi Le felt that the maid did not deserve any sympathy at all.
Shi Le was cold-blooded but Zuo Weiyi was not.
When Zuo Weiyi saw Xiao Cui being slapped, she ignored the pain that she was feeling in her abdomen before she pulled Xiao Cui aside.
“Tengtang Xi, are you done making trouble here?”
When Tengtang Xi saw Zuo Weiyi pulling Xiao Cui away, she smirked before she asked, “I am making trouble here? I am teaching the maid working for the Shi family how they should behave. How is that any of your business?”
“Get out!”
Zuo Weiyi yelled as she raised her finger and pointed in the direction of the door. She was motioning for Tengtang Xi to get out of her house!
At this time, Tengtang Xi crossed her arms across her chest before she asked arrogantly, “And what if I refuse to leave?”
“Alright then. You better stay put and make sure that you do not run out of this house no matter what happens!”
After she was done speaking, Zuo Weiyi turned around before she walked into the kitchen immediately, as though she was about to do something.
Tengtang Xi sneered when she saw Zuo Weiyi walking into the kitchen. She was going to wait and see what she could do to chase her out of this house!
Just then, there was the sound of footsteps at the front door.
The person walking into the house was none other than Shi Yuting with an extremely cold and furious expression on his face.
Zuo Weiyi came out from the kitchen with a butcher knife in her hand. However, she was a little surprised to see Shi Yuting’s exquisite face as soon as she walked into the living room.
It was still early in the morning. Shi Yuting would usually come home late at night. Why was he home so early today?
