When Mu Qing heard this, she felt even happier, but she couldn’t help but chide her, “You child, why do you need to bring gifts when you come home? Don’t always send things to your family. If your in-laws find out, they’ll have something to say, and then your life here could become difficult.”
Luo Xi shook her head and said dismissively, “Don’t worry, I bought this with my own money. It’s not my husband’s, so I’m not afraid of them.”
Hearing this, Mu Qing felt a little relieved.
Luo Xi opened the exquisite gift box to reveal a jade bracelet. It looked high quality and expensive just from its texture.
“Xixi, this must be worth a lot of money, where did you get so much money? Did the young master of the Leng family give it to you?” Mu Qing asked, somewhat concerned.
“Mom, do you remember the competition last time?” Luo Xi asked her.
“Of course I remember, what about it…” As soon as she mentioned the previous incident, Mu Qing’s smile faded a little.
That incident was a huge blow to her, how could she possibly forget?
“The agent from that company wanted to invite me to join them, but I thought my identity wouldn’t allow me to enter the entertainment industry, so I declined. Then he offered me a chance to be a fashion blogger. Recently, during the holiday, someone asked him to do an advertisement for a skincare product. He wanted me to promote it. A lot of people bought it, and I earned some advertising fees. My husband took me out for some fun, and I saw this bracelet and thought about bringing it back for you.” Luo Xi said shyly.
Mu Qing’s eyes glistened with tears as she felt touched.
The eldest daughter had earned her own money and thought to buy her a gift, while when she bought gifts for her children, she only thought of getting something for the little girl1youngest daughter; Luo Yuyi. As a mother, she felt she had failed.
“You child, how should I say this? In the future, if you earn money, use it for yourself. I have everything I need. You don’t need to worry about me.”
“That’s different, this is a gift from me.” Luo Xi said proudly.
“You child.” Mu Qing reached out and poked her nose, her tone affectionate.
Standing at the kitchen door, Luo Yuyi saw this scene and was so angry that her lungs were about to explode.
“Sister, is there none for me?” She took a deep breath, restored her sweet smile, and walked over and asked in soft voice.
“None.” Luo Xi said flatly.
Upon hearing this, Luo Yuyi immediately looked deeply wronged. She looked at her with tears in her eyes, “Sister, are you still angry with me about last time? I know I was wrong, it hurts my heart to see you like this. If you’re really that upset, just scold me or hit me. But please don’t be angry with me, okay?” She looked pitiful and weak.
“I already said I don’t care about that anymore, so stop bringing it up. I know it was your fault, so why do you need to remind me over and over? Are you intentionally reopening my wounds to make me feel bad?” Luo Xi replied coldly.
Mu Qing’s expression darkened as well: “That incident is in the past, why bring it up again? Apologize to your sister!” She knew that her daughter had suffered a lot of grievances last time, being framed by her own sister. Not many could endure that.
Even if she could forgive her, there would still be some lingering resentment deep down.
Even she herself felt this way, how could the actual victim possibly accept it completely?
