Ye Shengge was long prepared.
Thus, she took a deep breath when she saw Xu Shaoqing reaching out to her. She took two steps back to avoid being touched, and Sister Xiu rushed forward to hold her.
Ji Shiting, who had just walked out of the study, saw everything.
âShengge?â He looked furious.
Downstairs, Ye Shengge put her hands on her belly with lingering fears. Fortunately, she had reacted fast enough. If Xu Shaoqing had really pushed her and caused her to fall, the consequences would have been dire.
âAuntie, you know Iâm pregnant, yet youâre still so reckless,â Ye Shengge said. âWhat intentions are you harboring?â
Xu Shaoqing looked upset. âWho asked you to stop me?â
Ji Shiting walked to them and hugged Ye Shengge. He looked worried and afraid as he reached out to pull Ye Shengge into his arms.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIâm fine,â Ye Shengge said with a bright smile. âDonât be afraid. Iâm not that weak.â
Ji Shiting relaxed a bit. He had seen her dodging, but he still needed to see that she was fine before he could feel at ease.
He hugged Ye Shengge and looked at Xu Shaoqing coldly with austerity. âMom, why did you do that? You know Shengge is pregnant.â
Xu Shaoqingâs eyes turned red as Ji Shiting questioned her. She was furious and aggrieved.
âShiting, do you still regard me as your mother? I just wanted to go upstairs to look for you but that woman stopped me. Why donât you ask her what she was trying to do? I lost my composure because I was too angry. Besides, I didnât even touch her!â Xu Shaoqing glared at Ye Shengge.
Ji Shitingâs face turned sullen upon seeing that she wasnât just trying to shirk responsibility, but was also hostile toward Ye Shengge.
âDonât come here again, Mom.â
Xu Shaoqing looked at him in disbelief. âShiting! Do you think I did it on purpose?â
âI know you didnât do it on purpose,â Ji Shiting said coldly. âBut you didnât care about the baby sheâs carrying at all. Have you forgotten that itâs my child, whoâs also your grandchild?â
Xu Shaoqing was rendered speechless, but her eyes turned redder. She bit her lips and tried to hold back her tears.
Ye Shengge couldnât help sighing at how beautiful she was. She was almost fifty years old, yet she still looked pretty when she was about to cry.
âOkay, Iâll apologize to you.â Xu Shaoqing had no choice but to compromise. âShiting, I was careless just now. Donât be mad.â
âShengge is the one you need to apologize to.â Ji Shiting put his hand on Ye Shenggeâs waist and looked at her comfortingly.
Ye Shengge blinked at him, feeling heartened.
âShiting!â Xu Shaoqing was shaking with anger. âAre you going to humiliate me just to make that woman happy?â
âPlease leave if you donât want to apologize.â Ji Shiting looked even more aloof.
âYou...â Xu Shaoqing had never seen Ji Shiting treat her so coldly. Her heart ached, and she gritted her teeth before she said,â Shiting, I have something to tell you. â
âForget it if itâs about Xie Siqi.â Ji Shiting looked impatient.
Xu Shaoqing was furious and aggrieved to see how impatient her son was.
