Chapter 368 - Hot Tea Was Spilled
“A child knows right from wrong, so why are you so stubborn?”
Mu Sifa sighed. He suddenly felt it pointless to argue with Hee Meier any longer. Soon, Shang Cijie would start talking about him again.
“Am I stubborn?” Hee Meier found it amusing and looked at Mu Sifa as if he were a monster, “Who's the one refusing to admit his mistake? You've been so confused by Shang Cijie that you don't even consider me, your mother, anymore.” Her voice was nearly hoarse from the loud roar.
“Fine, Mu Sifa, for his sake, you won't even acknowledge me, will you? Fine, I'll do as you wish, okay?”
Hee Meier trembled as she stood up and left angrily with Elina's support.
Mu Sifa didn't stop her because he knew they would start fighting again as soon as she opened her mouth. Why?
At that moment, Shang Cijie coincidentally walked over with a cup of tea.
“It's all because of you. It's all because of you, fox spirit. It's your fault. Give me back my son.”
Hee Meier pushed Elina away and rushed at Shang Cijie. She raised her hand and slapped Shang Cijie across the face. Not satisfied, she also knocked over the hot tea on Shang Cijie's tray, spilling it on Shang Cijie and burning him.
“Are you alright, Third Young Madame?”
Aunt Mu, who was standing nearby, was completely terrified and didn't know what to do.
Shang Cijie seemed stunned but replied calmly, “Nothing serious.” However, the areas where the tea splashed were entirely red.
“Wife.”
Mu Sifa yelled, releasing Shang Mingming and rushing over to pull Shang Cijie into the kitchen to rinse the burns, but Shang Cijie didn't move. He just stared at the still furious Hee Meier.
He spoke evenly, “You don't like me. I know, and I also know you can't accept me as a man. If we continue like this, we'll both suffer. So let's set a time! If after a month I still don't meet your standards, and you still find me displeasing, I'll leave the Mu Family and never step foot here again.”
Shang Cijie and Hee Meier set terms, clearly putting the decision in Hee Meier's hands.
However, Hee Meier's eyebrows furrowed as she believed Shang Cijie was deceiving her, trying to delay the conflict.
“I will do as I said. When the time comes, I'll leave the Mu Family immediately and won't shamelessly stay here. So rest assured about this.”
Noticing Hee Meier's doubts, Shang Cijie continued to speak calmly and coldly.
“Why are you still talking nonsense with her at a time like this?”
Mu Sifa was anxious. Since Shang Cijie wouldn't leave, he could only carry him and run towards the kitchen.
Meanwhile, Shang Mingming, who was behind them, was crying and shouting Shang Cijie's name, wiping his tears as he followed. The sight broke Shang Cijie's heart.
Aunt Mu looked at the distressed child beside her. Without worrying about what Hee Meier would say, she picked up the crying Shang Mingming and followed Mu Sifa.
“Little Young Master, don't cry. Aunt Mu will take you to see the Third Young Madame!” Aunt Mu supported Shang Mingming and helped wipe his tears to comfort him.
Shang Mingming, probably in shock, didn't say anything. However, he didn't forget to turn around and cry while cursing Hee Meier. “You scoundrel, old demoness, I hate you. I hate you.”
After cursing, he started crying sorrowfully again, tears streaming down his face.
