Chapter 422: Tit-for-Tat
Zhong Mengxuan was indeed unaware of the news that Zhong Mengfan had gone to work at Zhong's, as no one had ever told her. Now, upon hearing this news suddenly, she felt both astonished and angry at having been concealed.
Moreover, as the daughter of the Zhong family, she has never been able to get involved in the company's affairs. But now Zhong Mengfan is able to work in the company. Why?
As if frightened by Zhong Mengxuan, Zhong Mengfan couldn't help but take a step back, then slowly spoke, "Mengxuan, what's wrong with you? Why are you reacting so strongly?"
"Zhong Mengfan, you're trying to show off to me, aren't you?" Zhong Mengxuan pointed at Zhong Mengfan's nose and started scolding him, "Let me tell you, even if you join the company, what's the point? I know exactly what kind of person you are. Let me tell you, I'm living a better life than you. Not only now, but also in the future."
After saying that, Zhong Mengxuan pushed Zhong Mengfan and walked quickly towards her room.
From the sound of her footsteps, you can tell how angry she is at this moment.
Looking at Zhong Mengxuan's back, Zhong Mengfan's mouth curled up in a strange arc, and he was still muttering to himself, "Very good, let's continue to develop like this!"
The sound was so low that even if you were very close, you probably wouldn't be able to hear it clearly.
Zhong Mengxuan came to the door of her room angrily. Before she pushed the door open, she turned around and went to Zhong Mingyu and Li Yiqiu's room.
At this time, there were only Li Yiqiu and her little son in the room.
When she saw Zhong Mengxuan coming in, Li Yiqiu's eyes lit up for a second. However, when she saw Zhong Mengxuan's ugly face and thought of all the things she had done, her face suddenly darkened.
Zhong Mengxuan was already in a bad mood after hitting a wall with Zhong Nianyao and Zhong Mengfan. Now, seeing Li Yiqiu's sullen expression, she felt furious, and her tone became particularly aggressive when she spoke.
"Why? You're not happy at all to see my daughter! Now that she's been born, I'm an eyesore to you, right?"
"Zhong Mengxuan, what on earth are you doing?" Li Yiqiu frowned and said unhappily, "You haven't been back for a long time, and now you're back and you're angry at me. What's going on?"
While speaking, she did not forget to glance at her little son sleeping in the crib, with a hint of tenderness and kindness in her expression.
The child had been taken home a few days ago, and his condition had stabilized. Tonight was the old man's birthday, and he asked her to take the child out so that everyone could see him.
"You only have your little son in your eyes now, right?" Zhong Mengxuan naturally saw Li Yiqiu's secretive actions, and she became even more angry. "He's just a sickly child. Even if he grows up, he won't be healthy. You can't still expect him to take care of you in the future! I guess you'll have to take care of him for the rest of your life."
"Zhong Mengxuan, shut up right there!" Li Yiqiu was furious and started to scold directly, "This is your brother, how can you curse him like this? Also, he won't be sick like this forever. Tonight, as long as it's over, he will be able to recover."
When she spoke the last part, there was a hint of madness in her expression, which was completely different from her usual appearance, and it made people feel a little creepy.
Zhong Mengxuan was completely absorbed in her own emotions at the moment, so she didn't notice Li Yiqiu at all. She pointed at the baby with a vicious look in her eyes and a hint of viciousness in her tone, "I'm not cursing him, I'm just stating a fact. Looking at his condition, it's unknown whether he can grow up. You actually still expect him to fully recover? That's simply wishful thinking."
She had once been looking forward to the birth of this younger brother, because at that time, having this boy would be a very beneficial thing for their second branch.
However, as time went by, she came to realize a fact. She had once been the apple of her parents' eyes, doted on and acceded to their every wish. However, after having this younger brother, her status in their hearts plummeted, and she no longer received any attention.
However, what made her most angry was that all her parents' property used to belong to her, but now that she had a younger brother, all of it was gone.
Although her parents didn't say anything, she could see that they were planning to leave all their property to this sickly brother.
Therefore, in her view, the birth of this younger brother did not mean that she had a sibling, but that she would lose everything.
"Get out of here." Li Yiqiu looked at Zhong Mengxuan and angrily shouted, "If you continue to behave like this, don't come back. Otherwise, the atmosphere at home will be bad."
"You—" Zhong Mengxuan was devastated after hearing Li Yiqiu's words. She couldn't believe her ears. "Mom, what are you talking about? You're treating me like this just for a newborn kid. I'm your daughter too!"
"If you weren't my daughter, do you think you could still be standing here?" Li Yiqiu said bluntly, "Zhong Mengxuan, before you blame others, you should reflect on yourself!"
"Also, don't curse your brother here. Don't you have any idea why he became like this?"
"I'm telling you, Jingkang is getting better. After tonight, he'll be healthy again."
The youngest son has already been given a name, which starts with the character Jing and ends with the character Kang. This name was chosen by the old man, implying that he hopes the child will grow up healthy.
"I'm too lazy to talk to you," Zhong Mengxuan glared at the crib fiercely, then got up and left, returning to her room.
She felt that coming to see her mother was a mistake. Since her mother didn't want to see her, she might as well leave. She didn't like the child anyway.
Just like that, a few nice words ended up turning into a tit-for-tat confrontation.
Soon, only Li Yiqiu and the child were left in the room.
Li Yiqiu sat beside the crib, looking at the sleeping baby with a crazy smile on her face, and continued to mutter to herself, "Don't be afraid, my Xiaokang, you will recover soon. No matter what method I use, I will definitely make you better."
