It was as if there wasn't a problem with what she was saying.
Everyone could tell that she had smacked Billy quite hard.
Aunt Judith shielded Billy's head frantically and waved off Ella's hand. "Ella, know when to stop!"
She berated Ella in English. But Ella, with her reddened eyes, seemed to feel too aggrieved, looking as though she might cry any moment.
Qi Yuefeng and the rest tried to ease this awkward situation immediately.
"Alright, alright, the kids are just kidding around. Don't be fierce to her."
"It's okay, Judith, relax."
"Ella and Billy probably get along like this all the time…"
The adults were trying to talk Judith out of it, but Gu Qingjiu could see that her Great Aunt Gu Shouyan's countenance had turned rather stiff. However, she said nothing.
Instead, she glanced towards Gu Qingjiu.
Gu Qingjiu found the intent in her eyes very interesting.
