Chapter 73: Too Bad

Xiao Miaomiao suddenly lost interest in painting and put down her brush. She packed up her things and went back to her room.

She was filled with anger and couldn’t hold it in any longer. She grabbed Li Jingcheng and poured out her heart: “Xiao Zhao is so bad! No wonder he never liked me. I naively thought he just wasn’t familiar with me and didn’t interact with me much, so he favored Xiao Yuyan who always stayed with him. It turns out he never considered me his sister!”

“He never intended to acknowledge me as his sister. If it wasn’t for Xiao Lin threatening him with the video to hand over the shares, Xiao Zhao might never have revealed the truth. He almost strangled me to death back then!”

“He’s as bad as Xiao Lin. Xiao Lin wanted me dead from the moment I was born. On the day I was born, he tried to suffocate me by covering my mouth and nose. Later, when Mom died, he hired someone to kill me. Xiao Zhao thought Mom’s death was my fault, so he wanted to strangle me too.”

“I actually had hope for Xiao Zhao, hoping he would be a good brother, and I would be a good sister and take care of him for Mom. I actually had expectations for a brother who wanted to kill me.”

Xiao Miaomiao thought it was quite ridiculous. If she had stayed at the Xiao family for a long time, or even stayed overnight, she would have been killed by the father and son long ago.

Therefore, she should be grateful for Xiao Yuyan’s framing, which made her leave the Xiao family in anger. Otherwise, they would have definitely poisoned her food.

Thinking about it, Xiao Miaomiao couldn’t help but feel scared.

She believed what her grandparents said, that she was indeed a lucky person, otherwise she would have been killed by the Xiao family father and son long ago.

Besides, she also met Grandpa Li today, and he also said she was a lucky person. He told Li Jingcheng to get some of her good fortune, maybe he would wake up.

As Xiao Miaomiao spoke, she fearfully grabbed Li Jingcheng’s hand.

She never thought she was so unlucky. Not only did she have a father who wanted to kill her, but she also had a brother who hoped she would pay for her mother’s death.

After hearing these words, Li Jingcheng was also shocked and angry. The Xiao family father and son were simply insane.

After spending time with her, he had gotten used to and accepted Xiao Miaomiao as his wife. Hearing about her ordeal, he felt heartbroken.

If Xiao Miaomiao hadn’t truly been lucky to be taken care of by the Jiang family, she might have really been killed by those two. Li Jingcheng felt Xiao Miaomiao’s hand holding his, and he knew she must be scared.

After all, anyone would be scared and heartbroken to be hurt by their closest relatives.

Li Jingcheng secretly vowed to himself that if he really could get her good fortune and wake up, he would treat her well, cherish her like a treasure.

At this moment, Xiao Miaomiao felt like her hand was being held. She looked at Li Jingcheng in surprise. However, Li Jingcheng was still the same unresponsive vegetable, with no change.

“I must have been so angry that I’m having hallucinations. I actually thought you could move.” Xiao Miaomiao shook her head helplessly, rubbed her cheeks, and smiled helplessly.

Li Jingcheng felt a surge of excitement, and an uncontrollable joy appeared on his face.

Even though he had only briefly held Xiao Miaomiao’s hand, it meant a real miracle was happening to him.

He originally thought he would only be lying in bed, unconscious, every day. But now, he could actually feel external touch, which undoubtedly gave him infinite hope and expectation.

Even though he knew nothing about medicine, he understood that as a former vegetable, being able to have such a clear reaction now was definitely a positive sign.

Did this mean he might wake up? However, Li Jingcheng’s joy didn’t last long. When he heard Xiao Miaomiao’s next words, his mood instantly plummeted.

“It’s been twenty days since we last consummated our marriage. In a few days, we’ll know if I’m pregnant.”

“I really hope I can get pregnant this time, so I don’t have to drug you and sleep with you again. If I’m unfortunately not pregnant, then I’ll pray that you don’t wake up too soon. Wait until I successfully conceive, then you can wake up. At that time, even if you ask for a divorce, I won’t be worried.”

“If you wake up and ask for a divorce, the child will be young, you can raise them, and I can visit them occasionally. After all, Grandpa and Grandma, as well as my parents, are all kind and upright people. The children they raised must be well-behaved and sensible. They will definitely be my support in the future, taking care of me in my old age. If you don’t wake up, I will definitely take care of you in your old age first, then let our child take care of me in my old age. I will definitely die after you, don’t worry.”

Xiao Miaomiao looked at Li Jingcheng and said seriously.

Li Jingcheng had already realized that he was just a tool for reproduction in Xiao Miaomiao’s eyes.

From the beginning, Grandpa and Grandma probably hoped she could bring him good fortune and make him wake up soon, but having children was secondary.

However, Xiao Miaomiao was not like that. The reason she agreed to marry into the Li family was entirely for the sake of having children, continuing the Li family’s lineage, and planning for her own future.

She didn’t have much expectation for his awakening, and she might even hope he wouldn’t wake up too soon.

Li Jingcheng couldn’t help but wonder if it was because he had been lying in bed for half a year, making his face haggard, or because of the car accident that disfigured him, that Xiao Miaomiao had no interest in him.

If Li Jingcheng really woke up, as long as Xiao Miaomiao didn’t do anything wrong to him, he would never easily ask for a divorce.

After all, in the Li family, once married, unless one committed an unforgivable mistake, they would never easily talk about divorce. Why couldn’t she think more about how to make him wake up sooner? That way, everything she wanted would be fulfilled.

The Jiang family was so cunning, how could they raise a little white rabbit like Xiao Miaomiao, a silly one?

Li Jingcheng didn’t approve of the Xiao family at all. The Xiao family didn’t deserve to be Xiao Miaomiao’s family. Whether it was Xiao Lin, her biological father, or Xiao Zhao, her brother, in Li Jingcheng’s eyes, they were just enemies who hurt Xiao Miaomiao.

However, Li Jingcheng also made up his mind that he would keep an eye on Xiao Miaomiao after he woke up. Otherwise, if she was bullied, she could only endure it. Like this time, she was bullied by the Xiao family, and the harshest words she could say were to stop contacting them.

If he didn’t kill them, he would make them lose everything, not even a chance to turn over. How could he allow them to provoke him again and again?

Li Jingcheng thought to himself: “When I wake up, I must deal with the Xiao family properly!”

At this time, Xiao Miaomiao didn’t know that her indifference was misunderstood by Li Jingcheng as her being cowardly and afraid to retaliate.
