Miss, Take Responsibility for Me

"Why?" Qi Tianhao sneered twice, turned his head to look at Qi Siming, "Siming, tell her, how did your mother die?"

"I..." Qi Siming looked back at Qi Xin and fell silent.

Qi Siming's attitude satisfied Qi Tianhao immensely. He held up his chin arrogantly, "Then let me tell you, how did your brother's biological mother, Chen Yunmei, die? She was driven to death by your mother. Your mother, that wretched woman, seduced Lei while he was married and had a child, kept harassing Yunmei on the phone, scaring Yunmei so much that she fell down the stairs, causing her to miscarry. When Yunmei was hospitalized, your mother even purposely went to the hospital to intimidate Yunmei…"

"Liar!!!" Qi Xin recalled how she had argued back then.

To this day, she still can't believe her mother was that kind of person. Her mother was always so gentle, she never scolded her brother or anyone else.

How could she possibly have done such a thing??

"Liar??" Qi Tianhao snorted coldly, "Qi Siming, at that time, you were seven years old, right?!! You tell her, did or did not that woman insult your mother as a hen that couldn't lay eggs in the hospital??"

"Stop!!!" The boy who had been silent all along suddenly roared with teary eyes.

But his voice was quickly overshadowed by the thunder. The rain grew heavier, the huge raindrops hitting the glass seemed to be trying to say something, but they were cut off by the next booming thunderclap.

"Don't want to speak? Siming, wake up, your mother was driven to death by this child's mother. Now it seems like your enemy wants to let this matter fade away, I think it's necessary to clarify things! Otherwise, Yunmei's death would be in vain."

"Shut up! I said don't say it!!!" Qi Siming resisted fiercely, turned his face and gently rubbed Qi Xin's face, his expression gentle and full of affection, "Xinxin, don't believe it, it's all fake. Auntie is a good person, she is a good person in Xinxin's heart."

"Brother… what happened afterward?" Qi Xin was surprisingly calm.

Qi Siming was taken aback for a moment, "…"

"What happened afterward? Why won't you tell me?"

"Nothing happened afterward?" asked Qi Siming, forcing a smile.

"Then, did my mother drive your mother to death??"

Qi Siming clenched his fist tightly. He wanted to say no, but he couldn't utter the words.

"Yes. Your mother went to Lei's home when she was pregnant, causing Yunmei to be so distressed that she jumped off the building and died in front of Siming." If Qi Siming won't say it, Qi Tianhao will. His voice echoed in the huge, quiet living room, making it hard for anyone to ignore it.

"Why did you bring all this up!!" Qi Siming turned his head angrily to look at Qi Tianhao, who sat on the couch with a smug expression, "Xinxin is only six years old. You want a six-year-old child to bear all this, don't you think it's too cruel, too excessive?? She didn't do anything when her mother did all those things!! She's innocent!"

"So did your mother die in vain?"

"My mother's death has nothing to do with Xinxin and her mother, she was depressed!!"

"It was caused by her mother!!"

"Her mother did it, not her!!"

"Ha! Is there a difference? She's the child of that slut!"

Qi Siming's complexion turned frightfully pale, and he tightened his arms around Qi Xin's shoulder but said nothing.

But his expression told Qi Xin everything. This old man was telling the truth. She owed her brother an apology. If it weren't for her mother, her brother wouldn't cry every time on his birthday.

All of it was her fault.

"Brother, I'm sorry."

Back then, she was really heartbroken. Heartbroken that her mother would do such a thing.

"Xinxin... You don't have to apologize to me, you didn't do anything." Qi Siming could only helplessly stroke her head, his eyes filled with tender love.

"Come on, Siming, it's time for you to go with me." Qi Tianhao stood up when he saw there wasn't any place for him to say anything more. He held his dragon head cane, step by step, he walked toward the door.

"Where to?"

Qi Tianhao turned his head, "Your father is dead. Naturally, you should move back to the Qi Family Old Mansion and live with me."

"Me?"

Qi Tianhao didn't answer Qi Siming, but just continued his slow walk, "…"

At the door, the man in black held up the umbrella, waiting respectfully.

"What about Xinxin?" Abruptly, Qi Siming thought of something and turned to Qi Tianhao's retreating figure to ask.
