Gu'er looked at the screaming Lin Sui'er, startled by the outburst. 'Am I really that scary?'
Outside, Chen Fengjiao was knocking on the door. "Gu'er, Sui'er, are you two okay?"
She was clearly worried.
Gu'er went and opened the door. Chen Fengjiao came in and glanced around.
"If you don't trust me, if you think I'm going to beat her or abuse her, then I'll just leave."
Gu'er had made things very clear when she came in, but they hadn't even started talking yet. Lin Sui'er let out one scream, and Chen Fengjiao was already worried sick. 'If I actually did hit Lin Sui'er, wouldn't Mom try to kill me? I shouldn't even bother with this.'
"No, no, I didn't mean anything by it. I'll—I'll go outside right now."
Chen Fengjiao was a bit embarrassed. She had indeed been drawn over by Sui'er's scream, thinking Sui'er was being beaten. But one look and she could see Sui'er was perfectly fine.
"Mom, don't go! Make her leave! What is this? Doesn't she know I was sleeping?!"
