Chapter 801 - Handmade Poison
"Si... Sister!"
Ying's whole body stiffened when she saw her aunt staring at someone behind her.
"Hello to you too, Feifei!"
Hearing her mom's voice from behind, Ying couldn't even move her neck. It was Han Bohai who looked behind eagerly. And seeing the face of Ying's mother, he was stunned. Only because the woman before his eyes looked like the exact replica of the one sitting right beside him. The only difference would be the age. The rest of their features had such striking resemblance that for a second, he was blown away.
However, it didn't take him long to realize the difference between Ying and her mother. Ying had a wild domineering aura about her, while her mother had a cold and yet dark dominant presence.
Su Feifei ran over to her sister's side, "Sister, I'm so happy to see you."
While Su Feifei hugged her elder sister, the latter didn't hug her back. Instead, Su Xixi said, "Why can't I see the happiness on your face then?"
Su Feifei pulled back and cleared her throat trying to come up with something to say and in the meantime, she was suddenly pushed aside and another figure hugged Su Xixi tightly, "Godmother, I missed you so much!"
Su Xixi hugged back Ah-Si and smiled brightly, "I missed you very much as well." Then she looked at her sister and added without a hint of that previous smile, "This is what genuine happiness looks like, little sister."
Su Feifei gulped down and took a step back. Even if she was happy to see her sister, it was hard to show that happiness. Even breathing calmly in her sister's presence was a huge task for her.
Su Xixi suddenly frowned and pushed Ah-Si away slightly before touching his forehead. "Ah-Si, why are you burning up? Do you have a fever?"
Ah-Si shook his head but looking carefully at his face, Su Xixi obviously didn't believe his words. "I'm fine."
"Don't try to lie to me," she said. "You're looking like this and still saying that you are fine? As if I'd believe that." She helped him inside saying, "How is that father of yours taking care of you? Where is he? Call him out! Let me ask him if he even knows how to take care of his son or not!"
Xin Zimen who had been on the stairs coming down with Zhao Huan and his elder brother actually heard those words and stopped right where he was.
"Xiao Zi, what's wrong?" asked Zhao Huan.
Xin Zimen took a moment to say, "I suddenly don't wish to go down."
"Xin Zimen!" Su Xixi's voice rang out. "Show yourself, right now!!!"
"I'm not a genie that you'd call and I'll show up!" Xin Zimen roared back from the stairs.
"Do you wanna try my magical hands?" came Su Xixi's voice. "Or are you gonna show up yourself?"
Xin Zimen facepalmed himself and descended the stairs. When he came down, he found Su Xixi crouched down before Ah-Si as he sat dazedly on a chair.
Seeing that Xin Zimen was here, Su Xixi stood up and turned to glare at him, "Is this how you take care of your son?"
Xin Zimen looked at Ah-Si and furrowed his brows, "He was fine just a while ago. What happened, Ah-Si?"
"I'm fine, Dad," answered Ah-Si to his father in the same way as he did to Su Xixi earlier.
"See? He just said he is fine."
Su Xixi's face darkened and Xin Zimen took a step forward to touch Ah-Si's forehead. Feeling his temperature, even his brows furrowed up deeper, "Call the doctor. There are so many doctors in this house, can't they spare some time for my son?"
"Step aside, Xiao Zi," said Zhao Huan and decided to check Ah-Si on her own. "Oh my! Ah-Si, why didn't you say anything? Come with me."
As Zhao Huan took Ah-Si with her, Xin Zimen was left under the scrutinizing gaze of Su Xixi. "What? What's wrong? How is it my fault? He is not a kid anymore! He even has a kid of his own now!"
Su Xixi scoffed at him, "How can it be your fault?"
"Of course, how can it be my fault? I'm very innocent!"
Su Xixi rolled her eyes at Xin Zimen and said, "Something is wrong with your definition of innocent."Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14488421705519105)/handmade-poison_%!d(string=51301563653743192) for visiting.
"Blame it on your best friend," retorted Xin Zimen.
"She is already dead, can you please stop blaming her now?"
Xin Zimen made a face at her but didn't reply.
"Mom, am I invisible to you?" questioned Ying.
"Last time we met, you said you're invincible. I thought maybe you upgraded to being invisible as well."
Ying's face twitched at her mother's words and made a wronged expression. "Mom! I'm hurt. Won't you hug me?"
Su Xixi looked at her straight before saying, "Isn't it just a small wound for an invincible person like you?"
Ying was really cursing her past self who actually did the mistake of calling herself 'invincible' before her mother. How could she forget that her mom would never let this go? This one sentence was gonna haunt her for life now. After all, her mom would never let any chance go without jabbing at her.
"Sister, don't do that to our Yingying," Su Feifei the ever so protective aunt of Ying just had to speak up for her niece. How could she stay silent? She was a fool when it came to her one and only niece. She'd blindly take her side whenever and wherever!
"Is it your day off?" asked Su Xixi to her sister in a flat tone.
Su Feifei was taken aback but she replied honestly, "No."
"Then what the hell are you doing here?"
"I came to check up on my niece," said Su Feifei in her defense.
"No, you came to inform her that I'm coming," Su Xixi didn't hesitate before ripping Su Feifei's excuse off of her face. "And now that you've already done your job, get lost!"
"But I want to spend time with my sister," said Su Feifei.
Su Xixi stared at her, "Do you? Do you really want to spend some time with me?"
Su Feifei took a step back and said, "Have a good day! Since you're back, I'm sure you'd have a couple of days. So, I'll see you later!" Saying that she ran out as fast as she could.
"Hey! Can't you be nice?" asked Xin Zimen.
"Those words don't really suit you," said Su Xixi. "There is nothing nice about you as well."
"I agree," Xin Zemin couldn't help agreeing with her.
Xin Zimen turned to his elder brother as he questioned, "Do you know her?"
"Not that well," he replied honestly.
"Then why are you taking her side?" Xin Zimen didn't wait for his brother's reply as he said to Su Xixi, "Since you're in my house, you're my guest. And I'll treat you like a good host."
Su Xixi looked at Xin Zimen and Xin Zemin before shaking her head at them. Even after years, they had the same kind of relationship as it once did.
"Have a seat. What would you like to drink? Water? Cold drink? Tea? Maybe coffee as bitter as you are?"
Su Xixi gave Xin Zimen a perfunctory smile as she said, "I'm glad you still remember that I love my coffee as bitter as I am personally. But for now, I'll just have some tea." Xin Zimen had just opened his mouth to call someone when she added, "As the good host, shouldn't you be making that tea yourself?"
Xin Zimen looked at her face, "Why? Are you that eager to die from my handmade poison?"
"Maybe, I am that eager," she responded without hesitation.
Xin Zimen sighed out, "You and I really can't be friends."
"Likewise," she replied as she watched him leave. He was certainly gonna make that tea himself now. How could he not? There was no way Xin Zimen would be disrespectful to her.
Surprisingly, Xin Zemin also followed his brother out of there.
"Mom, you really can't see me?!"
Ying had to shout to get her mother's attention but it was really not working. It was quite obvious at this point that Su Xixi was purposely ignoring her own willful daughter. And it made Ying realize that her mom was really upset with her. Oh, that was not a good sign for her.
"I can't see you but I can see the young man standing beside you," said Su Xixi as her eyes settled on Han Bohai. She slowly came close to where Han Bohai and Ying were standing.
Seeing the look in her mom's eyes, Ying stood before Han Bohai and said, "Mom, I'm right here. Talk to me first! I'm your daughter! Give me some attention as well!"
Su Xixi placed her hand at the side of Ying's head and pushed her out of her way as she looked closely at Han Bohai's face. She seemed just as curious about him as he was about her.
