Xiao Ying calmed her frightened heart.
She opened the door to see Xiao Ruoxuan.
Looking behind her, she did not see the Xiao couple.
Xiao Ying’s expression changed, and she asked with a gentle expression, “Little sister, what’s the matter?”
Xiao Ruoxuan raised her head and said to Xiao Ying, “Daddy and Mommy love me the most. They’ll buy me delicious food and drinks. They’ll take me to a high-class restaurant and travel with me. They even promised to take me to the Maldives in two days!”
After being warned by Madam Xiao, Xiao Ruoxuan no longer dared to say that Xiao Ying was not a child of the Xiao family.
But she felt indignant.
She took advantage of the fact that the Xiao couple was asleep to sneak over and brag to Xiao Ying.
Xiao Ying’s face twitched. Could it be that Xiao Ruoxuan was here to show off?
Not long ago, she had still been fighting with the high-level Xiao Ruoxuan.
She was not used to her sudden new form.
Xiao Ying’s expression became even more gentle. f𝔯ℯe𝓌ℯ𝐛𝒏𝐨ѵel.c𝚘𝐦
“Really? That’s great. I’ll love you in the future too.”
Xiao Ruoxuan had not expected Xiao Ying to have such a reaction, and she was speechless.
She snorted and returned to her room.
Xiao Ying looked at Xiao Ruoxuan solemnly.
From tomorrow onwards, you will enjoy the additional stakes you placed on me in your previous life. ƒr𝙚𝙚𝘸e𝚋𝐧૦ѵ𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝒐m
The night passed quickly.
Xiao Ying got up lazily. It was not easy for her to change the habits she had developed in her previous life.
She looked at the girl brushing her teeth in the mirror.
Xiao Ying grimaced in pain.
It seemed like she had to find an opportunity to leave the Xiao family.
However, she still could not fall out with the Xiaos. Her current strength was not sufficient.
The moment Xiao Ying went downstairs, she saw the Xiao couple and Xiao Ruoxuan, a family of three enjoying their breakfast sweetly.
Xiao Ruoxuan saw Xiao Ying’s smug smile first.
She deliberately went up to Madam Xiao and said sweetly, “Mommy, I’ll give you an egg roll.”
Madam Xiao was happy to be close to Xiao Ruoxuan.
“Thanks, petal.”
Xiao Ying had no reaction to this scene.
In her previous life, when Xiao Ruoxuan had returned to the Xiao family, such incidents had happened countless times.
Every time, Xiao Ying would be overwhelmed by jealousy and do something embarrassing.
His reputation had been ruined again and again.
But now, Xiao Ying only felt that this was ridiculous.
Xiao Ying pounced on Xiao Lingbo like a swallow. “Daddy.”
Xiao Lingbo caught Xiao Ying and instinctively raised her above his head to spin in circles.
This was something they did every morning.
Watching Xiao Lingbo’s natural actions,
Xiao Ying’s heart ached.
She just could not understand why, even if she had an impure heart, the daughter that they had raised for more than twenty years would reject them just like that and even be so ruthless. Was Ruoxuan really sincere?
“Hmph!”
Xiao Ruoxuan’s cold snort made Xiao Lingbo pause as he slowly put Xiao Ying down.
Xiao Ying said slowly, “I’ve gained weight recently. Daddy, do you think I’ve become heavier?”
Xiao Lingbo stroked Xiao Ying’s hair. “You’re not fat.”
This scene caused Xiao Ruoxuan to snort coldly.
At this moment, Xiao Lingbo was somewhat displeased.
Xiao Ying saw everything clearly.
Without her as a foil in this lifetime, she wondered if the Xiao couple could love Xiao Ruoxuan as much as they had in her previous life.
In her previous life, Xiao Ruoxuan had been doted on so much by the Xiao couple.
Xiao Ying did not seem to notice the change in atmosphere.
She sat at the dining table and greeted Madam Xiao and Xiao Ruoxuan.
They started eating breakfast.
Mr. and Mrs. Xiao left after dinner.
They were going to announce Xiao Ruoxuan’s identity today.
There was a lot to do.
They lied that Xiao Ruoxuan and Xiao Ying were twins but Xiao Ruoxuan had not been well and had been being looked after elsewhere. They were preparing to bring her back.
Such cases were very common in wealthy families.
As for why she was iill, whether it was because of fengshui or because her body was really weak, well, that was anyone’s guess.
Later on, Xiao Ruoxuan’s name being spread around came as a pleasant surprise to Xiao Ying.
The moment the Xiao couple left, Xiao Ruoxuan’s expression changed.
She walked straight into Xiao Ying’s room and started rummaging around.
When she saw something good, she took it.
Wasn’t this petty behavior the reason why Xiao Ruoxuan had mocked her in her previous life?
Xiao Ying followed behind her and did not stop her.
Xiao Ruoxuan walked towards the closet.
Xiao Ying suddenly ran over to block the closet in horror.
“You can’t take anything.. Nothing here is for you.”
