Helian Xi's words sounded like she was praising the old lady, but in fact, she was reminding the old lady of things she herself wanted to forget.
Reminding her of how she rose to power.
Helian Xi never thought of herself as kind, nor would she bully people for no reason.
Unless that person provoked her.
Just like before, even though she liked Cheng Zhiyan, his sister provoked her, their family was taken down by Third Brother, and she didn't say a word for them.
The old lady, upon hearing Helian Xi's words, felt a jolt in her heart and threw a teacup at her.
Of course, Helian Xi didn't let her hit her.
She wasn't stupid.
She dodged it easily.
But even though she dodged, the show must go on.
"Grandma, I know you don't like me. But I respect you. What exactly did I say wrong for you to want to scar my face? If I hadn't dodged quickly, this cup would have hit my face." Helian Xi said with a grievance, her head lowered, but she was laughing inside.
