Unwilling to accept defeat, Bai Jiusi decided to taunt Si Mingjing. "Miss Si, after helping Mo Yinhe snatch my son and daughter, are you that desperate to become their stepmother?"
"I heard your father cheated during his marriage and got you a stepmother. Like father, like daughter, indeed. Your mother, in heaven, must truly understand how I feel right now. She's watching you!"
Si Mingjing's complexion instantly turned deathly pale.
Seeing her reaction, Bai Jiusi knew she'd struck a nerve. She sneered, "So eager to be my children's stepmother? You're despicably shameless!"
With a loud SNAP!
Si Lisao, who was next to them saying goodbye to Feng Chonghua, backhanded Bai Jiusi across the face, sending stars bursting in her vision.
Bai Jiusi was completely stunned.
Everyone else, who was simply making their polite farewells, fell into a sudden silence, looking puzzled at Si Lisao.
Qu Gaoyang was the most bewildered. "Crown Prince Lisao, why did you hit Ajiu?"
