Luo Yuyi bit her lip, a flash of reluctance crossing her eyes, then she lowered her head and apologetically said, “Sister, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it.”
“Alright, it’s good that you recognize your mistake. By the way, when I came in just now, a girl claiming to be your sister was outside our door asking for help. She said your father lost money and wants to sell her off. Why didn’t you go check on her? After all, you’ve lived together for over ten years. Can you really bear to see her being sold? Sister, you must have saved some money yourself, so why don’t you help her out instead of always making Dad solve everything?” Luo Xi looked at her with doubts.
Mu Qing also frowned and turned to Luo Yuyi.
A trace of resentment flashed in Luo Yuyi’s eyes, and then she said pitifully: “It’s not like that. Sister, you misunderstood. I’ve given them a lot of money. Xiaoxue has asked me for money many times in private, forcing me to give it to her. She doesn’t study and spends her days hanging out with delinquents. I’m afraid she’ll go bad, which is why I didn’t give her money this time. I didn’t expect her to go find Dad.”
As she spoke, she started to choke up, “When I was little, they treated me badly because I wasn’t born to my parents. They made me do all the hard work and never shared any good food with me. Now that my parents have recognized me, they’ve started to turn their sights on them. I really feel so sorry, Mom. If you want to blame someone, blame me. If it weren’t for those accidents in my childhood, I wouldn’t have caused you so much trouble…”
Hearing this, Mu Qing was also a bit angry: “They treated you like that? They used my precious daughter as a servant. It’s simply too much. Your father has given them so much money, and now they still have the face to come back for more! Really greedy that they want more than they can chew!”
“Why didn’t you say this before?” Luo Xi asked lightly.
“I didn’t want to let Mom and Dad know about these bad things. I’m afraid they would be upset for me. Anyway, it’s been so long. I don’t want to bring up old issues. Sister, I really am not the person you think I am.” Luo Yuyi said and wiped her tears.
“What’s going on?” Father Luo walked in and frowned upon seeing the scene.
“Dad, it’s all my fault for causing you so much trouble. If it weren’t for me, people from the Mo family wouldn’t keep coming to our door. It’s all my fault.” Luo Yuyi said with guilt.
Upon hearing this, Father Luo shook his head: “This isn’t your fault. The Mo family is greedy and repeatedly come to us for money using you. I won’t tolerate this anymore. If they dare come again, I’ll report them. They certainly won’t dare to cause trouble again.” He snorted coldly.
“Thanks to Dad, or I really wouldn’t know what to do.” Luo Yuyi flattered him.
Father Luo nodded with satisfaction, “Enough of that. Xixi has been here for a while, why hasn’t dinner been served?”
“It’ll be ready soon. My daughter prepared gifts for us. Look at this beautiful jade bracelet!” Mu Qing raised her hand and showed off the bracelet on her wrist.
“Oh, it’s really pretty! Xixi has grown up and knows how to buy gifts for her mother. What a filial child.” Father Luo praised after hearing Mu Qing’s words.
“Dad, I also got you a watch. This watch was personally chosen by my husband. He said it goes well with suits. Let me know if you like it.”
