Chapter 134 Utter Disappointment
But Li Rujun didn't believe her at all: "Do you think we're all blind and stupid? You think Yue'er would be so foolish as to fall down the stairs?"
“I told you, growing up in such a filthy environment with such irresponsible adoptive parents, you were bound to go astray.”
"But I never imagined you could be so heartless, not even sparing your own family. I am utterly disappointed in you!"
At this moment, Qi Xi felt that no matter how much her face hurt, it was not as painful as the chilling words that pierced her heart.
It turns out that this is how her biological mother has always viewed her.
They assumed she was a nobody because she grew up with her adoptive parents, and even thought she was a bad person.
That's why, under today's circumstances, without even fully understanding the situation, they unilaterally concluded that she deliberately pushed Qi Jianyue.
Qi Xi suddenly wanted to laugh, and she did laugh, but as she laughed, tears started flowing first.
"You're utterly disappointed in me? Isn't that right? Did you never have any expectations of me, your own daughter?"
"From the moment I came to this family, you disliked me, didn't you? You felt that apart from having your blood in my veins and looking somewhat similar to you, neither my words nor my mannerisms met your standards for a noble lady."
"Since you look down on me so much, why bother pretending to be kind and bringing me back? Just to show off your Qi family's kindness?"
Qi Xi laughed sarcastically: "It's just a pity that you so-called superior people who call yourselves that you are all despicable. When you do bad things, instead of thinking about how to atone for your sins, you are thinking about using your power to cover up your crimes."
"You may be rich, but your hearts are filthier than bedbugs in a sewer!"
Li Rujun was so angry that her hands trembled. "You, you are simply outrageous!"
Another resounding slap landed on Qi Xi's face.
Because Li Rujun was still wearing her wedding ring on her ring finger, she accidentally scratched Qi Xi's face during the process, leaving a fingernail-sized mark.
The sight of blood left Li Rujun stunned.
But she is still his own biological daughter. Even if he didn't raise her from a young age, blood is thicker than water.
Seeing the scratches on her face, he felt a pang of regret and raised his hand to touch them, "I..."
But Qi Xi's gaze towards her was now only cold and indifferent.
She took two steps back, causing Li Rujun's hand to miss its target.
"That's right, I will not only be outrageous, but I will also expose your ugliness."
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, I not only know the victim in this incident, but she is also my best friend, someone who is more important than my own life."
"I will never allow anyone to harm her in any way. Anyone who harms her, whether it's Qi Jianyue or any of you who are trying to protect Qi Jianyue, I will not let them get away with it!"
As she spoke, Qi Xi took out her phone and dialed 120 to report the incident in front of Li Rujun.
Li Rujun panicked immediately and slapped Qi Xi's phone away.
The phone fell from a great height, and the screen shattered into tiny pieces.
"Are you crazy? If this matter involves Yue'er and blows up, implicating the entire Qi family, how can you, as a daughter of the Qi family, extricate yourself from the mess?"
Li Rujun calmed down and, in a gentle and coaxing tone, advised, "Xi'er, it was Mommy's fault just now. Mommy acted impulsively and hurt you. Let Mommy see the injury on your face..."
Qi Xi slapped her hand expressionlessly, finding her insincere behavior only ironic. "You don't need to pretend here."
This is the first time Li Rujun, who has lived a life of luxury for so many years, has been criticized like this.
She had already lowered her stance, but Qi Xi remained unmoved, refusing to listen to either soft or hard tactics.
"Xi'er, in two days, the family will be holding a banquet to welcome you into the family. The invitations have already been sent out, and the guests are all celebrities you would never normally meet."
"I will formally introduce you then, and the people you meet and the things you do in the future will be completely different."
"As for ordinary people like that female host, being friends with her will not benefit your life or work at all."
Li Rujun said matter-of-factly, "Why make things so tense with your family over an insignificant outsider?"
“Xi’er, you’re still young and don’t quite understand yet. For people from families like ours, top-tier connections are the most important thing.”
Qi Xi curled her lips into a mocking smile. "That's you, it's all of you, not me."
"Yes, how could someone like you know that I was switched at birth, abused by my adoptive parents, and didn't even have a hot meal to eat?"
“Because of malnutrition, I was thin and weak and was bullied by my peers. When I was most desperate and wanted to die, it was Yu Li who pulled me back.”
"Without her, I wouldn't be who I am today."
She declared firmly and resolutely: "I don't care about so-called celebrities or so-called connections."
"As for the so-called family reunion banquet, you can hold it or not, I don't care to attend."
"But Qi Jianyue must pay the price for what she has done!"
Seeing that Qi Xi was completely ignoring her, and judging from her posture, she was going to go directly to the police station to report Qi Jianyue.
Li Rujun panicked: "Stop her! Take the Fourth Miss back to her bedroom!"
The servants immediately stepped forward and grabbed Qi Xi.
"What are you doing? Let me go! You have no right to restrict my personal freedom, let me go!"
Li Rujun said, "Xi'er was just too excited and lost her mind. Let her go back to her room and lock all the doors and windows. If the Fourth Miss runs out, I will hold you all responsible."
Just as Qi Xi was about to scream, the maid covered her mouth and forcibly dragged her into the bedroom.
Li Rujun frowned, feeling a headache coming on, but decided to check on Qi Jianyue's condition first.
"How is Yue'er?"
Qi Siyue, still by her side, replied, "Luckily, there was a carpet, so it's nothing serious. She just twisted her ankle; she'll be fine after a couple of days of rest. As for Fourth Sister..."
Li Rujun suppressed her anger and said, "Don't mention that unfilial daughter to me! She said that the female host was her good friend, and in order to seek justice for her good friend, she didn't even care about the Qi family's reputation and family ties!"
Qi Jianyue said weakly, "Mom, it's all my fault. If it weren't for me, the family wouldn't be in this mess. I think I should turn myself in..."
Li Rujun stepped forward, pressed her down, and said disapprovingly, "You silly child, what's with all this talk about turning yourself in? This has nothing to do with you."
"Whether it's in front of us or anyone else, you must say this: the family will take care of this for you. You should rest well. The family reunion banquet in two days is the most important thing."
