Qi Yan heard what her mother said.
She felt nothing.
Her expression was blank.
She didn't have any good feelings towards them now.
Or perhaps, she never had!
Seeing Qi Yan's attitude, Qi Ma cursed internally. To be honest, she really wanted to slap Qi Yan's face with her high heels.
Why was she so annoying?
She was incredibly annoying!
Qi Ma didn't get angry. She still had a smile on her face and said in a deep voice, "Alright, sit down!"
"After all, we're all family. Don't let minor issues damage our harmony!"
"Don't you think so?"
Hearing this, Qi Yan was a little surprised. She never expected Qi Ma to say such things.
What a sight to behold!
And it was directed at her!
The more this attitude persisted, the more Qi Yan felt a sense of danger!
Something was not right…
Things were definitely not simple.
Qi Yan said, "Didn't you say before that there was something you wanted to tell me?"
"Now that I'm here, just say what you want to say!"
Qi Ma nodded, "Mm-hmm… I will. Sit down!"
Qi Yan had no intention of sitting down, always maintaining a distance from them.
It was a form of self-protection.
Qi Ma was quite displeased by this. "Xiao Yan, we've already said we're family. Are you really going to act like this?"
"Must you treat us as enemies?"
Qi Yan said, "It's not me, it's you!"
"How much have I contributed to this family?"
"In the end, wasn't I still dismissed by you?"
"Treated like an outsider?"
"Do you even know how much I've sacrificed for this family?"
"But in the end, what did I get?"
The more she spoke, the more wronged Qi Yan felt.
In just a short while, her eyes turned red.
If anyone else saw Qi Yan in tears, they would surely feel sympathy.
But they felt no sympathy at all. Instead, they were inwardly mocking her.
What is she pretending for?
Qi Yu said, "We've always treated you as family. Don't misunderstand us…"
By saying this, it made Qi Yan seem to be the one at fault?
Qi Yan let out a cold snort. "Heh!"
She didn't want to say more.
At this moment, Qi Ma picked up the red wine bottle from before and poured two glasses.
After pouring one for herself,
She drank it down.
"Mom apologizes to you here!"
"I was wrong in the past!"
"Please forgive me!"
"If one glass isn't enough, I'll drink another…"
As she spoke, she finished another glass.
Two glasses in quick succession.
Soon, three glasses were down.
Judging by her drinking, Qi Ma seemed sincere!
"Xiao Yan, is it still not enough?"
Qi Ma directly poured a fourth glass.
Qi Yu couldn't bear it anymore and quickly said, "Sister, Mom has gone this far. Are you still unwilling to forgive her?"
"Must you wait until she drinks herself sick before you're happy?"
"This… you can't drink anymore!"
Qi Yan also felt a bit soft-hearted. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Don't… don't drink anymore. I forgive you!"
Qi Ma said, "Since you forgive me, let's clink glasses!"
"You drink a little too!"
In this situation, Qi Yan couldn't refuse.
She nodded.
She thought to herself, the red wine should be fine,
Then, she took a sip, clinked glasses, and drank…
Clink!
The two wine glasses collided, making a clinking sound.
It seemed as if the two were starting to mend their relationship.
After finishing the wine, Qi Yan said, "The wine is finished. Can we talk about what you wanted to say now?"
Qi Ma said, "Actually, there's nothing much. I just wanted to apologize to you and have a good chat!"
"That's all…?" Qi Yan didn't quite believe it, but in just a moment, her head started to feel dizzy, her vision blurred into darkness, and she collapsed to the ground.
