Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now! Chapter 1263 - 375: [Malice]_3

She is just an ordinary person; she also longs for family affection. If she had a sliver of hope for these two people, she would want to... forget it, there’s no hope.

If it weren’t for the biological blood ties, she really wouldn’t want to have any relationship with these two people. She doesn’t even bother to look at them!

Even though Lu Xiuting’s sobbing wasn’t loud, it still made Lu Sisi feel a slight irritation in her heart.

Perhaps this slight irritation didn’t stem from her mother’s crying, not from her brother’s timid and bewildered expression, but from...

She instinctively picked up her phone, opened the WeChat interface for a glance, the conversation with Chen Yan still stayed at the message she sent while in the car before returning to the villa, and Chen Yan still hadn’t replied.

Where on earth did he go?

He left in the morning to buy breakfast, and by nightfall, there was still no news.

Thinking of this, Lu Sisi hesitated for a moment, scrolled through her friends list, found Chu Keqing’s name, and sent a message: "Dean Chu, did Chen Yan go to the Academy?"

A few seconds later, Chu Keqing replied: "Mr. Chen didn’t come to the Academy."

Then added another line: "Did something happen?"

Lu Sisi sighed, thought for a moment, and replied: "He went out to handle something today and hasn’t come home yet, I can’t get in touch with him."

On WeChat, it showed that Chu Keqing was typing...

Then came the reply: "Perhaps he’s cultivating, you know when meditating and moving Primordial Qi, one can enter Meditation."

Lu Sisi replied: "Thank you, I understand."

Putting down her phone, Lu Sisi looked up at her mother, realizing that at some point Lu Xiuting had stopped crying and was now watching her cautiously and expectantly.

A hint of irritation in Lu Sisi’s heart grew even more.

Even when crying, she has to closely watch my reaction?

Lu Xiuting’s crying is specifically to cry in front of me, this misery, must be said to me, cried for me to see, right?

Only this way can she move me, make me sympathize with her, and then, stand up for her.

Ha!

Just like when watching a drama, if you have to go to the bathroom in the middle, you’d hit the pause button.

Only, the "drama" Lu Xiuting is acting, can pause on its own.

Afraid I might miss a bit of her performance.

Lu Sisi sighed again, rubbed her temples: "Mom, don’t you... feel tired?"

"What?"

"If it doesn’t work, just let it go." Lu Sisi shook her head.

Lu Xiuting’s eyes widened suddenly, and she exclaimed out of character: "Let it go?!"

She paused for a moment, seemingly realizing her poor attitude, but held her temper and said: "How, how can I just let it go, Sisi, Sisi... you, you won’t care about me anymore? You can’t ignore me!"

"But, what can I do for you?" Lu Sisi gave a bitter smile, she just looked at her mother directly: "Should I go talk to Chen Yan, have him teach dad a harsh lesson?

Then, force dad to love you? Force dad to turn from a scoundrel into a devoted and loyal good husband?

Or are you saying, if I get involved, I can change him from loathing you to loving you deeply?"

Lu Sisi’s voice was soft, carrying a sense of helplessness.

Lu Xiuting was stunned for a moment, stammered a bit, and said: "At least, at least... you can stand up for me, make your dad, he, not dare to..."

"He dares." Lu Sisi interrupted her mother’s delusions: "He dares! Previously, he just didn’t dare to show it because he was being held down, but actually, he dares. You know this very well."

As she spoke, a hint of mockery somehow emerged in her tone: "He doesn’t love you, but you don’t love him either. So, why bother?"

Lu Xiuting’s face turned pale, still trying to struggle: "But, but if that happens, our family will be gone!"

"It’s your family that’s gone!"

Suddenly the slight irritation in Lu Sisi’s heart erupted, and she inadvertently raised her voice: "My family was gone long ago! From the time you took me to Port City and knelt down to crack the memorial plaque at age five! I haven’t had a family since then!

No, even before that, from the time I was young and sickly! From the time you married Yang Jiaming with ulterior motives!

I might not have ever had a family at all!

So now, if it’s going to be gone, it’s your family that’s gone, there is no ’our’."

Lu Sisi’s sudden raised voice left Lu Xiuting staring at her in surprise, as if she was utterly stunned.

Lu Sisi exhaled, her face also showing some discomfort.

Today... what’s wrong with me?

The little irritation in her heart was getting stronger and more uncontrollable.

"...Let it go." Lu Sisi shook her head: "I’ll tell you, this was actually said when you first came to me, if you separate and divorce dad and have trouble in life, I will help where I can.

But the issues between you and dad, truly, I can’t handle."

After a pause, Lu Sisi slowly added: "I also don’t want to handle it."

With that, she simply stood up, walked to the living room, and pulled her brother, who was watching TV silently, up from the sofa.

"Tonight, you and mom will stay here, and you sleep in the guest room on the second floor, go on, go back to your room."

The brother looked at Lu Sisi dully, nodded, glanced worriedly at Lu Xiuting on the dining room chair with red eyes, ultimately said nothing, and quietly went upstairs.

Lu Sisi poured another cup of water for her mother, but just at that moment, the doorbell rang.

Lu Sisi glanced at her mother, who looked up from her seat, capturing a hint of strangeness in Lu Xiuting’s eyes.

She frowned.

The villa doesn’t usually have visitors.

Whoever’s ringing the bell right now can’t be Chen Yan—Chen Yan doesn’t need to ring the bell to come home.
