The night breeze of early autumn blew the golden tassels on the curtains of the side hall. Under the light of the lamp, the shadows of the tassels were faintly discernible on the thick carpet.

"Qingqing still needs to go to school tomorrow morning. If you guys want to eat, go back to your rooms." The person in charge of the throne said in a deep voice.

Anyone could hear the intention of Uncle Lee's words.

Lee Xi snorted coldly, stood up and left in big strides.

"Halt!" Lee Ming put down the silver knife in his hand and said coldly, "Go wait in my study room."

"Big brother!" Lee Xi couldn't believe it. Could it be that while he wasn't home, this mother and daughter pair had already gotten the approval of his big brother?

"Xia Qingqing is obviously …"

Lee Ming's gaze was like a sharp sword that shot towards Lee Xi.

"Alright …" Lee Xi swallowed his saliva. Facing his family's eldest brother, Heavenly King Li, who was never afraid of anything in the world, he was slightly frightened. "I will go to the study and wait."

"Uncle Zhang, take the young master back to his room." Lee Ming said to the butler, who was standing on the side and wearing a uniform.

"Give the young master another cup of milk."

"Alright, young master." Uncle Zhang bowed and pushed the wheelchair that Old Third Li Yang was sitting on out.

The only people left in the side hall were the Xia Family's mother, daughter, and Uncle Lee, Lee Ming.

Lee Ming was in no hurry to speak.

He clasped his hands together and crossed them on the table, leaning forward slightly.

This was a very oppressing position.

The Xia mother and daughter pair sat across from each other, clearly nervous.

The flow of air seemed to have stopped as well.

Uncle Lee immediately understood his eldest son's intention. He sighed almost inaudibly and said, "Qing Qing, you can go back to your room to eat from now on."

Xia Qingqing's face instantly turned pale.

Lee Family refused to accept her.

She bit her lips. Facing these two men with their powerful auras, she was unable to say any words of rebuttal.

Old Mrs. Xia's face also lost its light.

To the people of Lee Family, eating was a huge affair, even the seats for each of them had to be taken care of.

She and Qing Qing were at the first and second position in Uncle Lee's right hand.

A table that is placed on Lee Family represents this family that has acknowledged your existence in this family.

Mother Xia was already used to it, so she didn't dare to say anything. She only said in a low voice, "Master, Qing Qing and I have finished eating. We'll take her back to her room now."

"Yes." "Yes." Uncle Lee replied. His face looked very dignified under the light.

No matter how unwilling Xia Qingqing was, she didn't dare to openly oppose Uncle Lee and Lee Ming.

She was dragged out by her mother, her head lowered, her long hair falling over most of her face.

The fingernail of his other hand was almost pierced into his palm.

After everyone had left, only the father and son duo of Lee Family remained in the side hall.

"Boss, is this the way down?" Uncle Lee leaned back on the blue and gold jacquard chair. He seemed to have lost all of his mental energy in an instant.

Under the light, from his angle, Lee Ming could vaguely see a few strands of white hair on Uncle Lee's sideburns.

"Dad …" His expression changed slightly, but in the blink of an eye, it returned to normal.

"No need to say anymore." Uncle Lee waved his hand: "I know all about it, but I feel sorry for your Aunt Xia."

"However, Qing Qing's heart has indeed been raised."

Lee Ming picked up the silver pot and poured Wu Tie a cup of Ceylon Black Tea.

"Then what is father planning to do about that Xia Qingqing?"

Uncle Lee picked up the cup and took a sip, "Your Aunt Xia only has this one daughter, so you can't be too harsh on her anymore. If you find a good family in the future, you can marry them all. "

This sentence had practically confirmed Xia Qingqing's entire life.

On the other side, Xia Qingqing had been walking away with her head lowered, not a single word spoken.

Looking at her daughter's silent expression, Mother Xia was a little worried.

When they returned to Xia Qingqing's room, she closed the door and asked, "Qing Qing, are you alright?"

Xia Qingqing, who had remained silent, exploded upon hearing these words.

She pushed Mother Xia away and screamed, "Are you alright? How can I be okay? "I'm doing very well right now!"

"Qing Qing, don't be like this." Seeing that her daughter was going crazy, Mother Xia wanted to grab hold of her daughter, but Xia Qingqing threw her daughter to the ground with a wave of her hand.

"Are you blind or are you deaf? Do I look alright?"

"You're still asking if I'm okay, I'm fine!"

Xia Qingqing was both crying and making a ruckus because she also had a suite. Although there were only five rooms, the soundproofing effect was especially good.

No one else knew what was going on in the room.

Her chest heaved as she pointed at the fallen Mother Xia and scolded,

"Why do I have a mother like you!? it was completely useless. Only after eight years did he enter the Lee Family gate, and after entering he had no status at all! When other people bullied me, why didn't you come out and protect me? "

"I know you despise me for being a burden, but all of you despise me!"

In the time she had been in the Lee Family, she had spent so much effort trying to curry the favor of the father and son duo. And today, with just a single sentence from Old Li, he was going to beat her back to her original form.

Xia Qingqing cried.

Mother Xia struggled to stand up and hugged Xia Qingqing, "Darling, don't cry. Mom loves you the most, so how could I dislike you?"

She patted Xia Qingqing's back as if she was taking care of a child. "Don't cry, don't cry. It's all mom's fault. Mom can't afford to give you a better life."

As Mother Xia spoke, her nose began to ache.

She was too used to being gentle and unskilled, like a dodder that could only grow from a big tree. When she was young, she had followed the wrong man, who had run off with all his belongings, leaving behind only his daughter.

A single, beautiful woman with a child and a weak and bullying appearance. One could imagine the two years of her life.

Mother Xia had always thought that meeting Lee Zhantian was the greatest fortune of her life.

But for Xia Qingqing, to make her accept this stranger who had nothing to do with her bloodline, would be very difficult.

Xia Qingqing leaned on her mother's shoulder and gradually stopped crying. Her emotions also gradually calmed down after being comforted by her mother.

"Mom, I was in the wrong just now." Xia Qingqing replied with a thick nasal voice, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"I don't blame you, it's all mother's fault." Even though she was over forty years old, her current expression still made people feel pity for her.

Xia Qingqing inherited her mother's good looks.

She looked like a delicate white lotus.

"Mom, you should go back first. Uncle Li will send someone to look for you in a while."

Mother Xia hesitated and couldn't help but to say, "Qing Qing, don't think too much into it. This is life." We are ordinary people to begin with, so everything we have now is already very good. I want to be content. "

Xia Qingqing forced a smile. "Mom, leave me alone."

Even if she was worried, Aunt Xia could only nod and leave through the door. Before he left, he cast a worried glance at Xia Qingqing.

As for Xia Qingqing, after Mother Xia closed the door, the smile on her face immediately disappeared and turned into resentment.

"Fate? What was fate! I can't accept this! "
