Chapter 201 - Made a Gesture
“Auntie, I think I'll head back now!” If I stay here, Sifa won't see me anymore. Elina withdrew her disappointed gaze from the staircase and expressed her sorrow.
“Even an outsider like Shang Xiaojie has the audacity to stay, so why are you leaving?” Listen to Auntie, we'll stay here for the night.” She comfortingly patted Elina's hand, encouraging her not to worry.
“But Shang Xiaojie now has a child! Sifa can't seem to forget him, so I believe it's better for me to leave. I don't want Sifa to face any difficulties because of me. I'll head back first.”
With that, she rose from her seat, her expression still wounded.
Hee Meier promptly pulled her back, “I still don't know if the child is Sifa's or not. This matter will be handled by Auntie. I recognize you as the third daughter-in-law of the Mu Family, and I won't let anyone else interfere. So, you can relax; no one will dare to gossip.”
Hee Meier gently pressed Elina back into her seat.
Hearing this, Elina's lips curled into a subtle smile, quickly hidden as she pretended to be hesitant, “Is that really alright? Won't Sifa be upset?”
Inside, Elina was secretly delighted. She hoped Hee Meier would kick Shang Cijie out of the Mu Family right away.
“What if he's upset? Would he really get angry at his mother? I understand Sifa; although he appears cold and aloof, he's actually softer than anyone, especially when it comes to his family.”
Indeed, Sifa had clashed with his aunt five years ago, and now, his aunt held all the cards. Shang Cijie probably had no chance left.
As for Shang Minjie, there was no need to discuss it. Who didn't know about her and Jia Tianxia? Hee Meier was simply turning a blind eye, so she didn't pose any threat.
It was perplexing. If she truly had feelings for Jia Tianxia, why hadn't she divorced Mu Sifa by now? Her hospital should be flourishing, so what was there to worry about?
“Aunt Mu, prepare a room for Lina; it should be closest to Sifa,” Hee Meier instructed Aunt Mu, who stood trembling in fear.
“Of course, madame. I'll do that right away.” Aunt Mu bowed and left.
Although Aunt Mu didn't know Elina well, every time Elina visited the Mu Family, she felt an indescribable, subtle annoyance. Therefore, she usually kept her distance from Elina.
“Thank you, Auntie,” Elina blushed and expressed gratitude, her bashful demeanor only for Hee Meier's benefit. Inside, she felt triumphant.
Shang Xiaojie, I'll keep a close eye on you. I, Elina, will make sure to retrieve that slap and the hot cocoa your son threw at me.
“Oh no!” The aunt nearby had a peculiar expression on her face. Did her aunt's face twitch? Should we go help?”
Mu Xiaoxiao happened to be carrying Shang Mingming out of the dining room and coincidentally saw Elina's smug expression.
Mu Xiaoxiao also harbored ill feelings toward Elina, especially after she had pushed Shang Xiaojie, leading to his injury. She despised her now, so there was no chance of her liking her.
“Let's head upstairs, Mingming. Auntie will take you to play.”
Ignoring Elina, she proceeded up the stairs.
“Yes, yes. Mingming is going to play with Auntie.” Ye Zichen clapped excitedly, a sly smirk appearing on his face as he made a throat-slitting gesture towards Elina.
