"Jingjing, you've gone too far. Apologize to Xuanxuan right now."
But Jingjing looked defiant, showing no sign of remorse.
Xuanxuan tugged at my sleeve and whispered, "Mom, I'm sorry. It's my fault for not keeping an eye on Jingjing and letting her cause trouble."
Seeing the understanding Xuanxuan made my heart ache even more.
"It's okay, Xuanxuan. This isn't your fault."
I gave Xuanxuan a knowing glance, signaling him to go back to his room.
Xuanxuan understood, nodded, and then headed to his room.
I quietly approached the door and peeked inside.
There was Jingjing, tearing up Xuanxuan's homework notebook.
"Jingjing, what are you doing?" I exclaimed, my eyes wide with anger.
Startled by my voice, Jingjing quickly dropped the notebook onto the floor.
With a guilty expression, she stammered, "N-nothing."
I walked over and picked up the shredded notebook, my blood boiling.
Fuming, I said while gathering the torn pieces, "Jingjing, this is too much! You tore up Xuanxuan's test paper before, and now you've destroyed his homework notebook. What are you trying to do?"
Jingjing shrugged dismissively. "It's just a homework notebook. What's the big deal? I can pay you back."
"Pay you back? With what? Do you even realize you're wasting everyone's time?"
This notebook contained notes and mistakes that Xuanxuan had spent a long time organizing.
"Alright, stop making a fuss. I'll buy him a new one later," just then, Wang Qin arrived to pick up her daughter and walked in without knocking.
I shot back immediately, "Buy? Is this something that can just be bought? Don't you know what your daughter is like? Do we still need to help tutor her?"
My father-in-law interjected, "Alright, enough of that. Just let Jingjing be more careful in the future and don't get upset."
"Dad, with Jingjing acting like this, we don't need to help tutor her anymore. You might as well find a tutoring class for her," I said sternly.
If Jingjing continued this way, there was no way Xuanxuan could focus on his studies.
"Why should I? Dad, look at her, how can she act like this?" Wang Qin said, pointing at me in dissatisfaction.
Father-in-law smiled and said, "Alright, enough of that. Jiahui, we’re all family here, don’t be angry. Your Sister-in-law will make sure Jingjing behaves."
"Alright, Dad, you two should head back. Xuanxuan needs to study," I said, and without waiting for their reactions, I pushed Jingjing in front of Wang Qin and closed the door.
Father-in-law seemed to want to say something more, but Li Jin pulled him away.
"Dad, let’s go. I’ll take you out to eat; we shouldn’t stay here and eat while watching their faces."
Before bed that night, I recalled Li Jin's ambiguous expression before he left and warned Li Jingzhang with concern, "Old Li, I'm telling you, if your dad or brother makes any unreasonable demands again and you agree without discussing it with me first, you can just handle it on your own."
I turned to see Li Jingzhang pretending to sleep with his eyes closed, looking as if it had nothing to do with him. I was suddenly overwhelmed by a sense of helplessness.
After this incident, the house finally quieted down for a while.
Xuanxuan also successfully finished her high school entrance exams, which relieved me.
When the exam results came out, Xuanxuan did exceptionally well; not only could she get into a key school but also be placed in a good class.
Recently, Father-in-law and Li Jingzhang always looked troubled.
Logically speaking, with such good exam results for their son and no bad news, they shouldn’t be this way!
