Chapter 240 Stop the Fight
Seeing her like this, Xi Mo's gaze became even softer. He understood that she wanted to hear the process, so he recalled and began to speak, "Before, when Dad was rushed to the emergency room and needed blood transfusion, it was Xi Zhi who donated blood."
Xi Yan was puzzled. "I know about this. I was there too. Because of this, Dad liked her more. He scolded me for not being filial. Now he treats her like a lifesaver."
Speaking of this, Xi Yan couldn't help but curl his lips. He had suffered a lot from Old Xi's favoritism since he was young, so he and Xi Zhi had never gotten along.
Hearing this, Qin Lie furrowed his eyebrows, his thoughts unclear. Xi Mo glanced at him and said indifferently, "Close relatives can't donate blood."
He looked at him as if he were an idiot. How could he not know this common knowledge?
Zhouzhou held onto Xi Mo's arm and leaned forward, also looking at Qin Lie, giggling and joking, "Younger Uncle is silly."
Xi Yan almost choked. He was almost driven mad by the father and son. Xi Mo didn't dare to say anything, but the little one dared?
He narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhouzhou, asking, "Do you understand?"
Zhouzhou shook her head. She learned traditional Chinese medicine from her master and didn't understand blood transfusion. However, she added, "So I didn't ask."
As long as she didn't ask, her foolishness wouldn't be exposed!
Xi Yan sneered and looked at her with disdain, thinking that she really understood. So that's how it was.
Xi Mo glanced at him and said, "Sit properly."
"Oh." Xi Yan immediately lowered his head, not daring to be arrogant anymore.
In his heart, he silently complained. He was biased!
Zhouzhou proudly shook her little head, then tilted her head back and smiled obediently at Xi Mo.
Xi Mo couldn't help but reach out and pinch her little face. As he had imagined, it was as elastic as he expected.
His hands were calloused, and his face was a little sore from the friction, but Zhouzhou didn't avoid it. She even took the initiative to rub against his palm.
Seeing this, a slight smile curved Xi Mo's lips. It was barely noticeable because he hadn't smiled much over the years, making it seem a little stiff, but it was warm.
He continued, "After that, I found out about this matter and had someone investigate. Then it traced back to you."
His gaze fell on An Ya, and he slowly said, "Originally, I wanted to bring you back home, but I didn't expect..."
He pursed his lips, not finishing the sentence. Looking at An Ya, his eyes were filled with sadness.
Seeing him like this, An Ya smiled and said, "It's okay. It's a good thing to know that I still have relatives in this world. Who else has the ability to have such a powerful daughter like me and be able to reunite with family even after death?"
As she spoke, she raised her chin with some pride, looking satisfied.
Xi Yan pouted, full of refusal. Seeing the little girl sneak out from Xi Mo's embrace and make faces at him, he became even more infuriated. Unable to hold back, he gritted his teeth in frustration. This brat was too exasperating!
But Xi Mo didn't think so. He touched Zhouzhou's little head, liking her presence very much.
An Ya couldn't help but laugh, feeling a lot of her distress dissipate because of her antics. She smiled and said, "With Eldest Brother protecting Zhouzhou, I can rest assured."
She quickly changed her way of addressing him, realizing that it wasn't difficult to call him that. It was as if she had a natural closeness to him.
Her biggest concern was that Zhouzhou would be bullied.
Now that she saw Xi Mo, even though she didn't know who he really was, she could tell that he was formidable. With him around, she felt even more at ease.
Zhouzhou had Qin Lie, Ye Lingfeng, and Xi Mo to protect her. Who would dare to bully her?
Thinking of something, she asked in confusion, "Eldest brother, I heard from Lingfeng that you have fought with him twice. Was there a misunderstanding?"
When Ye Lingfeng was mentioned, the warmth on Xi Mo's face instantly disappeared. "There was no misunderstanding."
His voice was indifferent. "If he didn't cause trouble and failed to protect you, you wouldn't be in your current situation."
Indeed. When An Ya learned about their relationship, she had already guessed it. She was moved by how protective her brother was of her, but it was also a bit ironic. She explained, "Eldest brother, the person who harmed me was Du Wan, not Lingfeng."
"If it wasn't for me, he wouldn't have taken a job at that KTV, and he wouldn't have encountered that incident, leading to being wrongfully imprisoned. Eldest brother, we are all victims. We can't blame him for this. He has been good to me.
"And, he has already suffered a lot." As she said this, An Ya's eyes reddened.
She knew that Ye Lingfeng was powerful now, but it came at the cost of blood and life. If possible, she only hoped that their family could live an ordinary and peaceful life.
At this point, she didn't want Ye Lingfeng to get hurt because of her anymore.
Upon hearing these words, Xi Mo fell silent.
Zhouzhou looked at An Ya, then glanced outside, and finally, her gaze fell on Xi Mo. Sitting up a bit, she held his face with her chubby hands and helped explain, "Yes, Elder Uncle, although Sharp Tongue Uncle has a sharp tongue, he treats Mom very well. He thinks of Mom every day. Since Mom said so, can you stop beating him in the future?"
"Even though he speaks rudely, is a bit silly, and reacts slowly..." She counted Ye Lingfeng's shortcomings with her chubby fingers, making Xi Mo laugh and cry at the same time. He didn't know if she was praising him or teasing him.
Finally, Zhouzhou took a big turn. "But he is the person Mom likes. If he gets hurt, Mom will be sad."
Upon hearing this, Xi Mo was slightly taken aback. He instinctively glanced at An Ya, saw her nodding repeatedly, and pondered for a moment before saying, "From now on, I won't lay a hand on him anymore."
Upon hearing his words, An Ya couldn't help but smile. "Thank you, Eldest brother!"
Zhouzhou chimed in, "Thank you, Elder Uncle."
As she spoke, she crawled up, cupped his face with her hands, and took a bite.
Feeling the moist sensation, Xi Mo was about to speak when an elderly voice came from outside, sounding displeased. "Where is Xi Mo? Your sister's card has been frozen. What's going on?"
