Apocalypse: The Supporting Actress Made a Comeback novel Chapter 8

Chapter 8: 006 Spirit Mansion Space!

Fang Yuxin didn't respond to Fang Mengyao's accusation but instead said, "It's all my fault for not being careful enough. I'll go make something to eat in the kitchen, Aunt Li, please clean up here."

Though Aunt Li also felt that Fang Yuxin had been careless, especially since so much food was ruined, it was truly a shame. However, as the Fang Family's housekeeper, she naturally treated Fang Yuxin with more affection than she did Fang Mengyao. She smiled and said, "It's okay, it wasn't on purpose. I'll clean up here. Yuxin, you should quickly check and see if you burned yourself."

Fang Yuxin smiled slightly and turned towards the kitchen. She wasn't certain whether Fang Mengyao had added the so-called Suppressant or if something else had been tampered with the dishes, but with even a one in ten thousand chance, she didn't dare take the risk, which is why she purposely destroyed the food.

Fang Mengyao was obviously not willing to let things go so easily. She had only one dose of the Suppressant, and it had been completely ruined by Fang Yuxin, so there was no possibility of using it again! What made her even more discontented was Fang Yuxin's disregard for her! It was Fang Yuxin who had done something wrong, so why shouldn't she apologize? Why ignore her?

Fang Mengyao then called out, "Fang Yuxin! Stop right there! You owe it to me to speak clearly, did you do that on purpose?"

Initially reluctant to engage with her, Fang Yuxin turned around when Fang Mengyao persisted and said laughingly, "Why would I do it on purpose? What makes you so sure that I did? What benefit would there be for me to do this?"

Fang Mengyao found herself speechless in response to these questions. She felt certain that Fang Yuxin had done it intentionally and even suspected that Fang Yuxin might know something. But when questioned like this, how could Fang Mengyao respond? Indeed, what benefit would Fang Yuxin gain from such actions? Was she supposed to admit that she had tampered with the food?

After some thought, Fang Mengyao said, "Of course, you did it on purpose! You just wanted to ruin the soup I worked hard to make!"

Fang Yuxin folded her arms and laughed, "That's even more ridiculous. If I didn't like it, I could have just poured it out. Is there a need to destroy an entire table's worth of food and leave our parents without a meal?"

Fang Mengyao was too angry to reply. She didn't know how to counter Fang Yuxin's arguments and felt unwilling to give up, wanting to say more. However, Qu Qianhe suddenly said, "All right, Yuxin can't handle it alone. I'll help you in the kitchen. Jintang, why don't you have a chat with Xiao Yao?"

Her tone was not heavy at all but rather very gentle. Yet, when Qu Qianhe's gaze passed lightly over Fang Mengyao, Fang Mengyao couldn't bring herself to voice her prepared words. She subconsciously felt that Qu Qianhe was even more difficult to deal with than Fang Yuxin, and if she persisted, Qu Qianhe would surely not let it go.

Qu Qianhe stepped past the mess on the ground and walked up to Fang Yuxin, then pulled her into the kitchen. Fang Mengyao watched them enter the kitchen, hesitated for a moment, and then mustered the courage to say, "Dad, I have something I want to talk to you about."

Fang Jintang glanced at the mess on the ground and sighed before saying, "Come with me." He, of course, knew that Fang Yuxin had done it on purpose, but he didn't want to blame her in front of Fang Mengyao and Aunt Li, so he had to pretend to be unaware.

Fang Jintang took Fang Mengyao out to the small garden outside. The ground was covered with a lawn, and many flowers were planted around it. There was a leisure table and four chairs placed on the lawn, with a sun umbrella overhead, where the family of four would sometimes sit and talk.
