Chapter 708: Chapter 217: Yi Xue’s Decision
The matter concerning her son overcame Yi Xue’s instinct to escape. She faced Su Xiaocai and murmured, "What are you trying to say?"
Su Xiaocai blinked. "Actually, I didn’t originally want to chat much with you, but you just mentioned that the animals you raise always hurt Xue Zhiyi, and I find it very strange."
Su Xiaocai turned her head and looked at Xue Zhiyi, who was sitting on the ground after squatting for a while. "Brother, would you hurt the cats?"
Xue Zhiyi appeared puzzled, gently nudging the pear he was holding. "I love cats."
The pear raised its paw to refuse, with a very proud expression.
"Pear is a very fierce female cat," Su Xiaocai hinted rather obviously. Cats like Pear retract their claws when playing with Xue Zhiyi.
How could it be possible for Xue Zhiyi to get hurt by small animals?
Yi Xue’s pupils constricted. Whenever Xue Zhiyi was hurt, it was always outsiders who told her; she had only seen the small animals Xue Zhiyi raised go into frenzy and indeed saw her son getting hurt.
"Are you trying to say the one hurting Xue Zhiyi isn’t the small animals, but humans?"
Su Xiaocai neither denied nor affirmed.
"Your son’s superpower is quite useful, a truly wonderful talent..."
Yi Xue felt an emptiness inside her, unable to absorb more information.
Suddenly, she covered her face with her hands, feeling very shattered. She prided herself on loving her child, yet deep down she knew she resented him for being an autism patient.
He couldn’t inherit the family business, yet she had to consider his future. What if they passed away first, what would happen to him?
She only thought about these things but never considered what he wanted.
After raising her son for so many years, she ended up understanding him less than an outsider who had met him twice.
Su Xiaocai remained silent.
The suppressed sobbing in this open space wasn’t amplified.
After crying for a while, Xue Zhiyi seemed to realize the crying person was indeed his mother. He stood up, moved slowly, and then patted Yi Xue’s shoulder.
Yi Xue grabbed Xue Zhiyi’s hand, tears filling her eyes. "I’m sorry, I’m sorry..."
The affection she presented was ultimately flawed. Her son rarely called her mother. In the past, Xue Zhiyi, when hurt, would complain to her, and the tone made her feel as though her son was blaming her.
Recalling everything from the past, it was more likely that Xue Zhiyi was seeking help, and the accusatory subject wasn’t her but Xue Huiyi.
Xue Huiyi not only bullied others but likely bullied her own child secretly.
She even blamed Xue Zhiyi for not calling Xue Huiyi a sister.
She was wrong, she was wrong for overlooking that Xue Zhiyi was a complete person; his intelligence wasn’t too low, with the mental capacity of a normal six or seven-year-old.
After the crying stopped, Xue Zhiyi shifted his attention, focusing on the cats.
Yi Xue wiped her tears. "Sorry, that was inappropriate. Thank you for the reminder."
"Do you know if these three cats are for sale?"
"Do you think I need money?" Su Xiaocai rolled her eyes.
Feeling rebuffed again, Yi Xue didn’t get angry. Some habits are hard to change; money can influence people easily. Her first thought was using this method to win her son over.
"Then...we’ll be leaving." Yi Xue held onto Xue Zhiyi’s hand. "Xiao Yi, I’ll buy you a cat when we go back, a real cat, alright? Don’t bother Miss Su."
Xue Zhiyi wouldn’t fall for it, shaking off her hand. Every time she promised to get him a cat, it would end up being a mechanical one. He then hid behind Ji Li, "I want to live here."
Ji Li’s gaze was profound. This kid is a handful; staying here was absolutely not feasible.
However, since the manor belongs to Su Xiaocai, it’s her opinion that counts. Surely, she must be reluctant to keep him around.
Indeed, Su Xiaocai didn’t want to keep Xue Zhiyi here. After all, he’s a member of the Xue Family, and they’re still in opposition.
Moreover, the superpower user who modifies videos might very well be within the Xue Family.
Having more contact with the Xue Family is equivalent to adding additional risks.
Xue Zhiyi lived freely, didn’t listen to things he wasn’t interested in. A grown man, acting coy so naturally, ignored Yi Xue no matter how much she tried to console him.
When the bodyguard moved, he clung tightly to Su Xiaocai and Ji Li.
Su Xiaocai felt he was even more impressive than she was.
The two bodyguards couldn’t manage to take him away, and Su Xiaocai’s custom coat was torn apart. Unable to sort him out, the kid wailed like a pig being slaughtered.
"Miss Su, could you kindly keep him for one night? I’ll come back with a few people to take him home."
"I won’t go back. I want to stay with my sister." Xue Zhiyi stubbornly stated. Although the annoying person at home left, he didn’t understand what prison meant. He always felt Xue Huiyi would come back, and he hated the home where Xue Huiyi was.
Su Xiaocai looked Xue Zhiyi up and down, stroked her chin, and said, keeping him wasn’t out of the question. "Here, no one can enter casually. If he stays, you guys also can’t come in anymore. Only if he has a holiday, can he go out."
