CHAPTER 78: CHAPTER 28 REGRET_3

Du Xixi stood up, looking down at Bai Zhan with a hint of pity in her eyes: "If you hadn’t come today, I might still think of you as a gentleman of deep affection and concern for dignity. But you came..."

Du Xixi didn’t want to say anything more, and walked upstairs with 2569, leaving just four words endlessly lingering in Bai Zhan’s ears: "You are so pathetic..."

You are so pathetic...

So pathetic...

Pathetic...

Bai Zhan covered his ears, unwilling to hear any more, and sat down on the ground crying bitterly, but neither Du Xixi upstairs nor Ke Lian beside him felt that Bai Zhan’s tears were innocent.

It was he who didn’t like Mo Ying, it was also he who disliked Mo Ying’s unwavering affection for him. Now that Mo Ying has found a better choice, what right does he have to cry here?

Isn’t this his own doing?

Ke Lian had no intention of comforting Bai Zhan, but Du Xixi upstairs was annoyed by the faint sound of crying outside the door, and angrily slapped the soft bed.

Well, action and reaction are equal, and Du Xixi’s hand hurt a bit and turned red.

hurriedly used its mechanical arm to scan Du Xixi’s hand. Confirming there was no issue, it said: "Is madam angry? 2569 will help you drive the bad person out."

Although 2569 usually obeyed both Du Xixi and Ke Lian, following the orders of both owners, it was clear that it showed more favoritism towards Du Xixi, who was expecting the little one.

For instance, if Du Xixi and Ke Lian gave simultaneous instructions at any moment, 2569 would surely heed Du Xixi first, instinctively ignoring Ke Lian’s command.

Of course, in such a situation, Ke Lian would also comply with Du Xixi’s wishes.

After questioning Bai Zhan, Du Xixi’s anger subsided somewhat, and with 2569’s clumsy comfort, she quickly calmed down.

She patted 2569’s big head and slowly lay down at the side of the bed, softly saying: "I’m fine now, 2569, you can go out first."

naturally obeyed and left the room. After hearing the door closing, Du Xixi sighed deeply. After all, she had somewhat overstepped.

The matter between Bai Zhan and Mo Ying was not something Du Xixi and Ke Lian should be involved in, but Bai Zhan had shamelessly come to the Ke family and even made such outrageous requests, and Du Xixi couldn’t hold back and erupted in anger.

This anger also contained a sense of bitterness and grievance for Mo Ying.

In Du Xixi’s view, Mo Ying moving past Bai Zhan and getting together with Ye Wenting was definitely a wise choice. Although Du Xixi didn’t clearly understand Ye Wenting’s true character, he was undoubtedly better than Bai Zhan, the "scumbag"!

Du Xixi clenched the pillow and fiercely threw it to the ground.

She decided that if Bai Zhan and Ke Lian ended their friendship and never appeared again, that would be fine. But if afterward, he kept hanging around with Mo Feng and others, claiming brotherhood with Ke Lian, and even coming over to scrounge meals, Du Xixi would definitely kick him out herself!

Between Mo Ying and Bai Zhan, Du Xixi would definitely side with Mo Ying!

After some time, Ke Lian knocked and came in. Seeing the pillow thrown on the floor, he knew Du Xixi was upset and picked it up, dusting it off. Then, he lay gently beside Du Xixi and softly said: "He’s gone, don’t be angry anymore."

Though Du Xixi had already been comforted by 2569 earlier and her fire had subsided with no anger left, Ke Lian’s words unexpectedly rekindled her anger.

She lifted her head and glared at Ke Lian, saying: "Did you comfort him?"

Ke Lian was stunned for a moment, then patted Du Xixi’s head and kissed her cheek before saying: "I wouldn’t dare comfort someone my wife dislikes!"

Du Xixi huffed, the corners of her mouth lifting slightly. Seeing this, Ke Lian moved closer to her: "And besides, this time, Bai Zhan is indeed in the wrong, and I’m not someone who acts rashly; I can distinguish right from wrong."

Even though Ke Lian and Bai Zhan had a good relationship, and even though Ke Lian actually didn’t like Mo Ying, he still had to criticize Bai Zhan for being wrong at this time.

Bai Zhan’s wrongs lay in his unwillingness to accept, his crying grievances at the Ke family’s house, and his presumptuous request for Du Xixi to do something utterly disgraceful.

What did it mean to ask Du Xixi to persuade Mo Ying to break up just because Du Xixi and Mo Ying had a good relationship? Even a real mother would have to express such matters tactfully, so how could it be proper to ask Du Xixi to do such a thing outright?

Moreover, Bai Zhan had always shown a total disregard for Mo Ying, and now, out of reluctance, he was tearfully begging, which was truly... truly disgusting.

How did I not see before that Bai Zhan was such a person!

"So... will you still associate with him?"

Ke Lian was silent for a moment: "I will truthfully tell Mo Feng and the others."

The implication was that Ke Lian would not cover up what happened that morning for Bai Zhan and had no intention of helping Bai Zhan or reconciling with him.
