968 Jealous

Xia Ling did not lie to him. "Yes, Xiao Rui. How did you know?"

Li Rui raised his head to look at her. "I saw her and great-grandfather get off the car when I was playing at the terrace." He had intended to play with great-grandfather, for he treated him much more endearingly than Father did. But he had hesitated after seeing his mother. The experience of having been beaten near death by her was still deeply engraved in his mind. He was too afraid to face her.

Xia Ling asked, "Xiao Rui, do you miss your mother?"

The child shook his head in a hurry and said stubbornly, "She hit me, she's a bad mother!"

Xia Ling agreed with the child. She was not so kind to cover for her enemy, so she said, "If you do not want to see her, then you won't have to. I will make sure she doesn't come here."
