Chapter 1688: Chapter 1689: Get lost, go out and see if you can squeeze in

"I won’t expose you today, but don’t worry, that day won’t make you wait too long! Let’s forget about today, as today is a good day for Grandpa, and I don’t want you to spoil the mood."

Just a rat’s dropping mixed in, it can be dealt with anytime. Xixi rarely comes over to play, and he doesn’t want to leave bad memories for his most cherished sister on this important day.

"Weren’t you scheming to go out?"

He chuckled softly, pausing his actions, and looked at Chu Xi with disdain.

"Get out."

"You really wanted to go out, didn’t you? Then go out and see if you can squeeze yourself between Auntie and Rong Yan!"

The disdain on his face deeply hurt Chu Xi’s heart. Chu Xi turned around and ran out of the kitchen without looking back.

...

The living room was filled with Jiang Chenyue and Rong Yan chatting, talking about Little Baby’s matters. Hearing Rong Yan speak of Little Baby’s childhood antics, Jiang Chenyue couldn’t help but laugh heartily, frequently covering her mouth as she laughed.

The harmonious scene didn’t resemble someone who’d just had her future son-in-law snatched away.

Those unaware might even think they were actual mother and daughter!

Chu Xi couldn’t help but walk quickly over, inserting herself between them, interrupting Jiang Chenyue’s words, "Mom, do you know where the medicine box at home is? I can’t find it."

"Did you not see me talking?" Jiang Chenyue’s first reaction to the interruption was somewhat angry, but seeing her injured finger, she displayed a heartbroken expression, quickly stood up, handed her a tissue, and asked, "What happened to your finger, how did you get hurt?"

"Brother asked me to go inside and peel potatoes for him, but I’m clumsy and didn’t do it well, accidentally cutting my thumb."

Chu Xi wrapped her injured finger with the tissue, intentionally pressing the wound in subtle places, which made the unhealed wound bleed instantly, quickly staining the white paper that Jiang Chenyue handed her for stopping the bleeding, looking shocking.

Sure enough, Jiang Chenyue unhappily blamed, "With so many servants at home, he insists on having you help him. It’s becoming more and more ridiculous!"

"Wait here, I’ll have someone bring over a bandage for stopping the bleeding."

She beckoned, and a servant quickly jogged over, shortly found the medicine box, brought it to the sofa side, squatting down to bandage Chu Xi’s injured finger.

The wound on her finger looked like a small cut, although it bled alarmingly, it was just a minor injury with a cut in the skin.

But Jiang Chenyue always regarded her as her biological daughter because of how she went missing as a child, holding some guilt towards her.

Even if she dislikes Chu Xi’s way of doing things normally, seeing her injury, she can’t remain indifferent. She showed extra concern, while conveniently criticizing Qin Jun for ’bullying’ her.

Throughout it all, Chu Xi behaved exceptionally well and obediently, occasionally nodding and smiling faintly, showcasing mother-daughter affection with Jiang Chenyue in front of Rong Yan, subtly squeezing Rong Yan out of their conversation.

"Mom, I’m fine, you don’t need to be so worried. It’s just accidentally cut on the finger, disinfect and bandage it and it’ll be okay."

Jiang Chenyue instructed the servant to wrap her finger with gauze, while disagreeing, "You shouldn’t take a small wound lightly, an infection can be just as troublesome."

"Alright. Don’t let it get wet for the next few days, wait until the area has scabbed before removing the gauze."

Chu Xi glanced at Rong Yan, smiled slightly, playfully stuck out her tongue, and hugged Jiang Chenyue’s arm, acting spoiled, "Mom, you really treat me like a child. I know, don’t worry!"
