Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 2838: Chapter 2836: It’s All Your Fault

”That’s exactly what I mean. Why don’t you ask her how my son ended up like this? If it weren’t for her, how could he be living like a ghost these days? When have we, the Xiaos, ever been so humiliated?” Mrs. Xiao was the angriest of all. She wondered what their family had become under such circumstances.

Did they really have to beg her? This outcome was not what they wanted, nor was it what she had intended.

”What do you think? The child in her belly is not recognized by the Xiaos, right?” Qin Xue noticed that Nangong Beiying was silent and had no choice but to speak for her.

”Who knows whose child she’s carrying? Why should we, the Xiaos, acknowledge it? Or do you think that just because Xiao Qi likes her, we have to forcefully accept this child?” Mrs. Xiao would never let her son be made a fool of.

She wouldn’t let her son wear such a humiliating ”green hat” either.

”Would you dare to make such claims without even asking Xiao Qi? Aren’t you afraid he’ll hate you when he wakes up?” Nangong Beiying didn’t expect to hear such words, and she felt fire welling up inside her, though she remained outwardly calm.

This was a lesson they had learned before–no matter how intense their emotions were, they never showed them.

”How could he possibly hate me? With women like you who wander around, I’ve helped shield him, he’d be too pleased about it, why would he be unhappy?” In Mrs. Xiao’s mind, her son was still the boy who listened to her, and as his mother, she was only doing what was best for him. How could he hate her?

Mrs. Xiao’s thinking was indeed arrogant, unaware that ever since Xiao Qi left home for abroad, he was no longer the boy who listened to everything the family said.

Not to mention these years he had struggled alone outside; in his heart, Nangong Beiying was the one he wished to marry wholeheartedly. She hadn’t expected, in his time of injury, for his mother to treat her this way. If he woke up and saw this, it would be surprising if he didn’t feel resentment.

Qin Xue watched Mrs. Xiao’s performance; she wondered how far she could carry on, and whether in the future, there would be a reason to aid Xiao Qi.

Because she was disappointed by one person, that was nothing; but if it happened again, she certainly wouldn’t allow Nangong Beiying to be with Xiao Qi.

No matter how much Xiao Qi loved Nangong Beiying, she wouldn’t advise her against it; such situations were truly difficult to handle.

Being together wasn’t just about focusing on oneself but required considering many things. With Mrs. Xiao around, it was clear she wasn’t a good person.

Thus she didn’t want Nangong Beiying to enter the Xiao family, but regrettably, now that Beiying was pregnant, and there’s no telling when Xiao Qi might wake up, it was too late to regret.

This was the result she hadn’t wanted to see, yet it was also what she regretted.

”Although he saved me from the bullet that was meant for me, and I’m very grateful to him, having a family like yours makes me feel sorry for him. Rest assured, I won’t be stepping through the Xiaos’ door. Just please don’t disturb our lives in the future.” Nangong Beiying was naturally cold-hearted.

It was because Xiao Qi had always been kind to her, and she wanted to try it out, that things had come to this point. But looking at Mrs. Xiao’s attitude, she didn’t want to say much more.

If only he could wake up, then in the future, each would just go their separate paths.

”You’ve harmed my son to such a state, do you think you can just leave it at that? How could that be possible?” Mrs. Xiao felt as if she’d tried to put up a fight, only to punch into cotton, which infuriated her to the point of madness. It was this feeling of frustration that made her unwilling to let Nangong Beiying off easily.
