I rested on the bed for a while. It was already evening, so I slowly climbed out of bed. Looking at the clothes on the floor that had been torn by Duanmu Que, I couldn't find anything to cover my body. I also looked through the wardrobe. There were only thick clothes left, but they weren't suitable for me to wear right now. With no other choice, I could only find a random shirt that belonged to Duanmu Que and put it on. Luckily, his shirt size was bigger than mine, so it could cover the places that needed to be covered. After putting on the clothes, I was too embarrassed to ask the housekeeper to come up and clean up the room. I could only pack up all the torn clothes and put them at the door, waiting for the housekeeper to come and take them away.
I walked downstairs and saw Xiao Fengya sitting on the sofa in the living room. After resting, her complexion had improved a lot, but she still looked very dispirited. I sighed and walked over to sit next to her. "Ma, how was your rest?"
Xiao Fengya looked at me and nodded slightly. "I just woke up and sat down in the living room. I'm fine now. I feel much better. How's Dad?" Xiao Fengya asked me worriedly.
I held her hand and said, "Ma, it's okay. Xinyao has already made arrangements. You don't need to worry. Dad should be back tomorrow or the day after."
Xiao Fengya held my hand. She suddenly saw the bruise on my neck that had been scratched by Duanmu Que. She reached out and gently touched it. With a puzzled expression, she asked me, "Xiao Li, how did you get this?"
I turned my head to avoid Xiao Fengya's eyes. I tightly gripped my collar, not daring to let her see. Xiao Fengya suddenly grabbed my hand and pulled up my sleeve. She looked at my wrist and the bruises all over my arm. She looked at me and said, "Xiao Li! What happened? Why are there so many bruises on your body? Could it be … "
My tears flowed down again. I wiped them away and said to Xiao Fengya, "Ma, I'm fine. You must be hungry. I'll make something for you to eat." Then I stood up and walked towards the kitchen, but Xiao Fengya grabbed my arm.
Because she accidentally touched my wound, I cried out in pain. Xiao Fengya quickly let go and looked at me. "Sorry, I didn't notice."
I was afraid that Xiao Fengya would worry, so I turned and smiled at her. "Ma, it's okay. These little bruises are nothing."
Xiao Fengya sat down on the sofa. She picked up the phone and dialed a number. She motioned for me to wait for a moment. I sat next to her and quietly accompanied her. After the call went through, I heard Xiao Fengya say, "Xinyao, it's Ma. How's Pa? It's good that he's fine. Thank you for your trouble. I'll go to your closet and get a set of clothes for your sister-in-law. Don't ask me what happened. I'll tell you the details when you get back. Bye. "Xiao Fengya hung up the phone and pulled me by the hand to Xinyao's bedroom upstairs.
I knew that Xiao Fengya really cared about me, but in my heart, I refused. I followed behind Xiao Fengya and said, "Ma, there's really no need. I'll just wear this. There's no need to trouble yourself."
Xiao Fengya didn't look back. She pulled my hand and said, "How can you just wear a shirt? I already told Xinyao that she has a lot of clothes." Xiao Fengya pulled me into Xinyao's room and closed the door behind her.
She opened Xinyao's closet and carefully looked through the clothes that would fit me. She looked at me and asked in a soft voice, "What happened? Why do you have so many wounds on your body? Why are you wearing Que 'er's clothes? "I thought for a moment, then told her about Duanmu Que's incident.
After hearing what had happened, Xiao Fengya suddenly stopped what she was doing. She turned around and hugged me in her arms. She gently stroked my hair and said, "Xiao Li, I'm sorry. Ma didn't protect you well and let you suffer so much."
I cried hard, as if something that had been suppressed for a long time had finally been released. I said in a soft voice, "Ma, it's okay. It's not your fault, and it's not his fault."
Xiao Fengya cupped my face and looked at me. "Ma just wants to ask you one thing. Can you not hate him? He wasn't like this before. I don't know why he became like this." Xiao Fengya's eyes were also wet, and tears flowed down the corners of her eyes.
I reached out and gently wiped the tears from her face. I looked at her and nodded. "Ma, I don't hate him, because I love him."
Xiao Fengya stroked my hair and said, "Good girl. Let's continue to pick out clothes." Xiao Fengya picked out a few clothes from the wardrobe for me to choose from. I casually chose a simple and convenient dress. When I was changing my clothes, Xiao Fengya saw all the scars on my body. I could feel her eyes were full of pity. I was very willing to be with her. When my mother wasn't by my side, she gave me the warmth of a mother's love, which made me feel not so cold anymore.
After changing clothes, I was going to go to the kitchen, but Xiao Fengya insisted that I rest well and pushed me out of the kitchen. Helpless, I could only stare blankly in the living room. I suddenly remembered that when I was fighting over clothes with Duanmu Que, I had casually thrown the dress he gave me out the window. I didn't know if someone would pick it up. I walked out of the room and walked towards the bedroom window. Just as I turned the corner, I saw Yu Xin standing there holding my dress. Oh no, I was still a step too late. I quickly walked in front of Yu Xin. She looked at me in shock for a moment, but immediately recovered her usual calmness.
I raised my hand and pointed at the dress in her hands. "This dress is mine. Please give it back to me."
Yu Xin glanced at the dress, then looked at me. "Oh, I thought you didn't want it anymore?" My heart trembled. Could it be that she had overheard our conversation?
I calmed down and looked at her. "No, please give it back to me."
Yu Xin didn't intend to give the dress back to me. She held the dress and looked at me. "This dress is very important to you. It's the dress that Duanmu gege gave you, right? Thinking about it, it's funny. On his birthday, he only bought me a dress, but he gave you a custom-made dress. This difference really makes me jealous."
"What do you want?" She was still holding a grudge. It seemed she wouldn't let it go.
Yu Xin smiled and said, "I don't want anything. It originally belonged to me. Now that it's in my hands, do you think I'll give it back to you?"
I was disgusted by Yu Xin's face. I rushed in front of her and reached out to grab the dress and pull it towards me. She was startled and hugged the dress tightly. I looked at her and said, "Hurry up and give it back to me!" After saying that, I grabbed the dress with my other hand and pulled it towards me. Yu Xin didn't let go. She also grabbed the dress tightly.
