Chapter 60: Ignoring

Xiao Miaomiao’s voice was calm and firm, as if she were telling a story that had nothing to do with her.

“So, the Jiang family completely ignored Xiao Lin and instead helped Uncle Jiang fight against Xiao Lin,” Xiao Miaomiao continued to explain. “As for Xiao Zhao, because my mother was busy with work and couldn’t take care of him, he was always looked after by the servants.”

“After Lin Yunshuang entered the family, she wanted to portray herself as a virtuous and loving wife in front of Xiao Lin. So, even when facing Xiao Zhao, she would pretend to be doting on him. Over time, Xiao Zhao even started calling her ‘Mom’.”

There was a hint of sarcasm in Xiao Miaomiao’s tone, as if she had become accustomed to this kind of thing. Zhang Jie listened silently, a surge of sympathy rising in his heart.

“He got along very well with Xiao Lin and his family, and he was even closer to Xiao Yuyan，his younger sister, than to me. Once, he even hurt me because of Xiao Yuyan. So, Grandpa originally intended to leave the Jiangcheng shares to Xiao Zhao, but he gave them all to me directly and said he wouldn’t acknowledge Xiao Zhao as his grandson.” As she spoke, a hint of sadness flashed in Xiao Miaomiao’s eyes.

Then, she continued to recall the past: “And my own brother, he actually called me vicious because of Xiao Yuyan，so I don’t want anything to do with him anymore.” Xiao Miaomiao shook her head with a bitter smile, as if mocking her own former innocence.

Hearing this, Zhang Jie couldn’t help but say angrily, “He’s blind!”

Xiao Miaomiao nodded in agreement: “He really is quite blind.”

By this time, they had reached a fork in the road. Not far ahead was Li Jingcheng’s home. Xiao Miaomiao turned to Zhang Jie and said, “That’s it. I’ll just push Li Jingcheng home, you can take Ah Huang back.”

Zhang Jie looked at the road ahead and then at Xiao Miaomiao，nodding: “Okay.” He was a little worried that if he let Ah Huang follow him to the Li family, it might cause Grandma Li to have an allergy, which wouldn’t be good. So, he decided to take Ah Huang home first.

Zhang Jie and Li Jingcheng listened silently as Xiao Miaomiao recounted these things, their hearts filled with indignation at Xiao Lin’s actions.

Li Jingcheng deeply imprinted these events in his memory. If one day he woke up, he would make the Xiao family pay the price!

Xiao Miaomiao saw that Ah Huang still wanted to go home with her, and gently shook her head: “Ah Huang, I’m sorry, I really can’t take you home. But I’ll give you this ball, you can take it home to play with.” She then stuffed the small ball in her hand into Ah Huang’s mouth.

Then, she gently stroked Ah Huang’s head and said softly, “Alright, you should go home now. I’ll come and play with you again when I have time.” Then, Xiao Miaomiao gently patted Ah Huang’s head and turned to leave.

As Xiao Miaomiao passed by the Xiao family’s home, she heard the sound of arguing and things being broken from inside the house.

She couldn’t help but glance inside, but didn’t pay much attention and quickly left.

At this moment, Xiao Lin was angrily yelling at Lin Yushuang: “I’m really blind to have fallen for someone like you!” He was so angry that he grabbed a cup from the table and smashed it against Lin Yushuang，his eyes filled with regret and disgust.

If he hadn’t cheated on her back then, the Jiang family wouldn’t have ignored him. Now, everything was beyond repair, his life was completely ruined…

“What do you mean, Xiao Lin? You were the one who tricked me first! I didn’t know you had a wife, and it was because your wife was too capable and you felt inferior that you came to me.” Lin Yushuang’s sharp voice came through, filled with anger and grievance.

“You said you had no feelings for your wife, that you found her too strong and not gentle enough, so you got together with me. Now you’re complaining that I’m useless, that your ex-wife is capable and her family is so powerful, but you’re blind, you want her to be capable and manage the company for you, yet you dislike that she’s not gentle.” Lin Yushuang tore off his mask, ruthlessly exposing his hypocrisy and selfishness.

“Shut up.” Xiao Lin was hit where it hurt, his face turned ugly, and he roared angrily.

“Slap!” A crisp slap rang out, Lin Yushuang’s cheek instantly swelled up, and the five finger marks were clearly visible.

“Ah… Mom…” Xiao Xiangyu was stunned by the sudden scene, and then burst into tears.

Xiao Yuyan heard the commotion, she originally wanted to pretend not to hear, but still couldn’t help but come out of the room. She looked at the chaotic scene in front of her, and her heart was filled with resentment towards Xiao Miaomiao.

She gritted her teeth and thought to herself: “Xiao Miaomiao，it’s all your fault! If you were willing to help us, how could this have happened? Tomorrow I must have Xiao Zhao go and teach you a lesson!”

However, she forgot that if they hadn’t schemed against Xiao Miaomiao first, how could they have ended up in such a situation?

The next day, as Xiao Miaomiao expected, Xiao Zhao came to find her, asking her to go back to the Xiao family for dinner.

In fact, this was just a pretense, the real purpose was to have her help Xiao Lin regain control of the Xiao Corporation.

After the housekeeper reported this to Xiao Miaomiao，she didn’t even want to move, she just told the housekeeper to tell Xiao Zhao that she wasn’t seeing anyone and to ask him to leave.

Hearing this, Xiao Zhao didn’t leave, but instead stood at the door waiting, his eyes fixed on the housekeeper, and he said in a bad tone, “Is Xiao Miaomiao really saying she won’t see me? Haha, she’s really become arrogant after hooking up with the Li family! She’s so vicious, a person who doesn’t respect her parents and is mean to her siblings, what exactly does your Li family see in her?”

Hearing this, the housekeeper’s brows furrowed slightly, and he replied firmly, “Master Xiao, please be careful with your words, our young mistress is a very good person, she is definitely not the kind of person you described.”

At this time, Li Chen and Ouyang Xuan happened to come back from outside and saw Xiao Zhao standing at the door.

They had already conducted a thorough investigation of Xiao Miaomiao’s affairs, and naturally knew that the person in front of them was her own brother – a person who was extremely caring towards his stepmother and her family, but cold and indifferent towards his own sister.

“What is he doing here?” Ouyang Xuan got out of the car, glanced at Xiao Zhao with displeasure, and turned to ask the housekeeper, “What is he doing here?”

The housekeeper answered truthfully: “Madam, Master Xiao came to ask the young mistress to go home, but the young mistress refused. He is slandering the young mistress here, saying that she is a vicious person, that she doesn’t respect her parents and is not good to her younger siblings.”

After hearing this, Ouyang Xuan snorted, her eyes coldly looking at Xiao Zhao, and said sarcastically, “Miaomiao is the kindest person, why would the Xiao family slander her like this? As a psychologist, can’t you see through the true nature of the Xiao family? Or do you know but deliberately pretend not to know?”

At this time, Li Chen also got out of the car, his eyes fixed on Xiao Zhao, and he said sternly, “The Jiang family only acknowledges Miaomiao，they will not acknowledge him. They are right to do so, a person who protects the person who killed his own mother, a person who is ungrateful and a white-eyed wolf, can you expect him to have a conscience?”
