"Their relationship is so wonderful." Nangong Cheng was already moved to tears.

Scarlett was truly astonished by her husband's stupidity. She felt utterly blind to have ever thought that stranger was so clever. As she was grumbling to herself, her phone rang. The flashing number on the screen startled her, and she hesitated.

She hesitated for a moment, but then answered the call.

Even though she had given up on Sixin, as a mother, she still harbored some hopes.

If only my daughter would come back.

While praying that this was a call from her daughter expressing regret, she coldly asked, "Sixin?"

The phone rang with her daughter's weak and pitiful sobs, and a faint pain flashed across Si Jiali's face.

No matter how much children hurt us, parents will always love their children.

"Mom," Si Xin longed for the time when Si Jiali was at the villa, when she was sheltered and carefree under her mother's protection. She truly missed Si Jiali, but at this moment, all her longing seemed to be blocked by resentment, leaving only the pain she had suffered. Facing her mother, Si Xin naturally wouldn't say those hypocritical words, but instead went straight to the point, choking back tears, and said, "Please, don't let Xiao Chun and Brother Yao meet again!" All her grievances were released at this moment, and she broke down in tears.

"Xiao Chun clearly knew, knew that I liked him. Why did she still steal my lover?" she accused.

As a daughter herself, she always believed that Scarlett would stand up for her.

As Scarlett listened to her daughter crying on the phone, she suddenly felt that it was utterly absurd.

"You called me not because you miss me, not because I'm your mother, but to tell me to tell your sister to stay away from that Nangong Yao of yours?!"

Even if Si Xin had just said she missed her, Si Jiali wouldn't have felt as disappointed as she did now. She suddenly felt that all her worries about her daughter were a joke; this daughter only had a man in her heart, where was her mother? She was afraid that if her man wanted to kill her mother, she would only be an accomplice. She didn't realize she was right, and her voice turned cold.

She closed her eyes, trying hard not to let her voice tremble.

"Is a man more important, or your sister?!" she finally couldn't help but ask shrilly, "What did your sister do?! Just because of a few words from that man, you're going to scold your sister?!"

She was so angry that she was trembling all over.

She suddenly stood up, and perhaps because she stood up too quickly, her vision blurred and she swayed for a moment.

The joy she had just experienced was still fresh in her mind, but her own daughter had poured cold water on her.

"Why are you biased towards Xiaochun?" Sixin burst into tears upon hearing her mother's question.

She hadn't expected Scarlett to side with her sister.

It was she who was betrayed and had Nangong Yao's love stolen.

"No need to ask Xiaochun, I'll tell you right now. Your sister doesn't like Nangong Yao. Do you think anyone would want such a beast?!" Si Jiali snarled. "You're the one who's shamelessly attracted to beasts, go ahead and like him, don't drag your sister into it! A pair of disgusting things, I'm glad I didn't see them!"

Si Jiali felt utterly disgusted by her daughter's transformation. She spoke coldly to Si Xin on the other end of the phone, "You two are cut from the same cloth. Don't call me again. I don't have a daughter like you!"

Overwhelmed with disappointment, she pressed the button to hang up the phone.

Shen Wangshu stared blankly at Si Jiali, whose face had turned pale with anger.

She felt that this time, she had truly been caught in the crossfire.

Scarlett slammed the phone down in a huff, completely unconcerned.

For the wife of the Nangong family head, what's an 18,000 yuan cell phone?

"Mom?" Shen Wangshu looked at his beautiful mother with innocent and pitiful eyes.

Her pitiful and somewhat gloomy expression made Scarlett suddenly feel a lump in her throat.

"What happened to your sister?" She felt like she didn't recognize her daughter anymore. She was such an obedient and sensible child, so why had she become someone she didn't recognize at all in the blink of an eye?

Si Jiali felt very sad. It seemed that Si Xin had changed after she married into the Nangong family. The once pure and gentle girl now focused all her attention on men, completely forgetting that the only companions she had for so many years were her mother and daughter. She would even hurt her own sister for a man.

"It's all your fault!" Scarlett vented her anger on Nangong Cheng.

If she wasn't his son, how could her daughter have turned out like this?

Grandpa Nangong... was injured even while lying down.

However, in the face of his wife's anger, Nangong Cheng had learned to hide, silently curling up into a ball, waiting for his wife's temper to pass.

"She's always been like this; she just never had a chance to express herself before."

A person's temperament isn't formed in a day. Si Xin's temperament—that she could still be entangled with men even after her own mother and sister died—could definitely not be changed in the short period of time she spent marrying into the Nangong family.

I guess this is just her natural personality.

Shen Wangshu's dismissive attitude made Si Jiali widen her eyes. However, she suddenly felt that her daughter was probably right, and after a moment of silence, she said vaguely, "Perhaps, it's like your father."

She thought of that incomparably handsome man from years ago, who divorced her without looking back to marry the daughter of a wealthy family. His ruthlessness in abandoning even their children was so similar to Si Xin's. This similarity made Si Jiali's eyes flash with disgust, as if all the hurt from the past had been brought up again.
