Chapter 1405 I Won’t Let Anyone Manipulate Me
Luo Sichun said softly, and then she stepped aside and watched Jiang Xingxing walk down the stairs before continuing to go upstairs.
However, she didn't know that her biological daughter looked back and saw her figure disappear at the corner of the second floor. Her expression changed immediately. She picked up the microphone next to the landline and said, "Lu Xuanxuan is not here." As the sound fell, she hung up the phone with a "bang".
It has been quite a while since she returned to this family, but Jiang Xingxing felt that the attitude of the people in this family towards her was average, and there was a clear difference in the tone and expression when they occasionally mentioned Lu Xuanxuan.
It was as if in the hearts of the whole family, Lu Xuanxuan was still the child of the Jiang family, and she, Jiang Xingxing... Even though she had the blood of the Jiang family flowing in her body, just because she didn't live in the Jiang family since she was born, everyone seemed to be separated from her, but was it her fault?
Jiang Xingxing was very angry. Yes, although she was only twelve or thirteen years old, she understood everything she should understand.
In her opinion, the Jiang family, including her biological parents, all disliked her from the bottom of their hearts.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and the more she felt it was unfair, especially when Lu Xuanxuan came to this family, everyone in the family would revolve around her.
Of course, except for her.
After all... after all, Lu Xuanxuan was someone she hated to death, and she would not try to please that damn girl!
But was Jiang Xingxing really thinking this way?
The answer is no.
Let's put it this way, Jiang Xingxing is the blood of the Jiang family no matter what, and she was unable to live with her family for eight or nine years after she was born due to an accident. As an elder, they couldn't help but feel sorry for Jiang Xingxing.
However, the Jiang family also knew that Jiang Xingxing had never suffered any hardship during the eight or nine years he lived in the Lu family, and was loved and cherished by his adoptive parents and brother.
But it was precisely because of this that the Jiang family felt a little uncomfortable when they saw Jiang Xingxing's attitude towards his adoptive parents when they recognized him that day.
They felt that Jiang Xingxing was not as pure as Lu Xuanxuan, the little cutie Xuanxuan who they watched grow up.
But the child is their own, and since she is not very old, the elders of the Jiang family believe that it should not be difficult to correct Jiang Xingxing's mind under their guidance. As expected, since returning to the Jiang family, Jiang Xingxing looks very well-behaved and sensible, and has a sweet mouth, which makes the elders happy, but behind the family's back, she has been playing tricks on her cousins who are not much different in age.
When playing with girls of the same age in the compound, she likes to be strong and pick on them in everything.
It is not difficult to imagine how the Jiang family felt when they accidentally discovered that Jiang Xingxing was a "two-faced person"!
In order to prevent their children from growing crooked, Jiang Nanzheng and Luo Sichun talked to their daughter more than once.
In response to them, Jiang Xingxing was tearful every time, nodded and said there would be no next time. And there would be no next time, to put it bluntly, Jiang Xingxing learned to disguise herself more and more, and did not expose her bad side to her family.
The Jiang family was undoubtedly satisfied with Jiang Xingxing's changes.
No matter who got any good things, they would give them to Jiang Xingxing.
In theory, Jiang Xingxing should be content with being loved by her family, but she couldn't bear to see her family treat Lu Xuanxuan well. Even if Lu Xuanxuan came home once a year, Jiang Xingxing felt uncomfortable. When she saw her family treat Lu Xuanxuan a little better, she was furious.
In addition, she found out that Lu Xuanxuan and Guoguo were good friends, and that Tuanzi Tangyuan, Xi Chenyu, three boys of similar age and good looks were also good friends with Lu Xuanxuan. When they saw her, none of them paid any attention to her.
Jiang Xingxing couldn't help but be jealous of Lu Xuanxuan and thought that Lu Xuanxuan was a nuisance. Since her surname was Lu and she was not a child of the Jiang family, she should live in Guangming Town, a small place, and should not appear in Beicheng for the rest of her life, but in the Jiang family.
What to think is one thing, but Jiang Xingxing can't influence the thoughts of the Jiang family. Look, after attending the top scholar banquet of Tuanzi and the other three today, Luo Sichun held Lu Xuanxuan's hand and refused to let go. She also agreed with Lu Xuanxuan's biological parents, Lu Han and Ruan Xin, to take Lu Xuanxuan back to the Jiang family to play for a few days.
In order to maintain her image as a well-behaved and sensible person, Jiang Xingxing welcomed Lu Xuanxuan with a smile on her face, even if she didn't want to.
What she thought was that if she had the chance, she would never let Lu Xuanxuan have an easy time.
For example, just now, Jiang Xingxing went downstairs to get some water from the kitchen, but heard Luo Sichun answering the phone on the stairs.
She guessed that it was Guoguo who was looking for Lu Xuanxuan, so after Luo Sichun went upstairs, she didn't hesitate to put the phone back on the landline.
"Mom, did you hang up?"
When Lu Xuanxuan saw that the phone had been hung up after going downstairs with Luo Sichun, she couldn't help asking Luo Sichun.
"No, I went upstairs to call you, and I put the receiver next to the landline."
As Luo Sichun was talking, she saw Jiang Xingxing coming out of the kitchen and about to go upstairs, and couldn't help asking: "Xingxing, did you hang up the phone?"
Hearing this, Jiang Xingxing didn't deny it. She nodded, her eyes full of innocence and simplicity: "I thought it was mom who forgot to hang up the phone, so I just put the receiver back on the landline."
Luo Sichun was skeptical about what Jiang Xingxing said, and at this time, the landline rang again.
"Hello, is that Guoguo?"
Lu Xuanxuan was standing next to the landline. When she heard the phone ring, she immediately picked up the receiver and put it to her ear. She got a response from Guoguo on the other end, and she smiled and said: "Are you agreeing? Okay, then I will go to your house with Jing Yu and Xi Chenyu tomorrow morning. Got it, huh? Are your fourth and fifth brothers going too?
sure? What do I mind? It’s not like I don’t know your fourth and fifth brothers. Besides, they and I are considered friends. It would be fun if we all go together to play together! How about you ask Brother Mingrui and Brother Minghan if they want to be together?
Okay, let's see each other then. Okay, I'll go to Grandpa Xi's house later and tell Brother Jing Yu and Xi Chenyu the time of departure tomorrow morning. Well, that's it, goodbye. "
After finishing the call with Guoguo, Lu Xuanxuan put the phone back on the phone.
"Are you going out to play tomorrow?"
This is the sound of the stars.
"Um."
Lu Xuanxuan nodded, and then said to Luo Sichun: "Mom, before I came back from the hotel, I asked sister Guoguo to go to the Forbidden City tomorrow. Sister Guoguo just called me back and said that Aunt Jiang agreed to let us go. In addition, considering our age "Xiao, Aunt Jiang's brothers and sisters, as well as Brother Jing Yu and Xi Chenyu from the Xi family will accompany us."
"Since you have agreed, then you can have fun tomorrow." Luo Sichun said with a smile and kind eyes, "Remember to pay attention to safety."
Lu Xuanxuan smiled and nodded: "I will." Then, she said: "I'll go to Grandpa Xi's house for a walk."
"Go ahead."
The soft eyes could not hide the fondness: "Come back soon."
"Okay!"
Lu Xuanxuan nodded again, but when she turned to go out, she said to the star: "I will accompany you to Grandpa Xi's house."
Hearing this, Lu Xuanxuan was startled and said, "Okay." She didn't like Jiang Xingxing very much, but Jiang Xingxing was the biological daughter of Jiang's father and mother, so she had to give Jiang's father and Luo's mother face.
Walking out of the courtyard, Jiang Xingxing said: "I will follow you tomorrow."
"..." Lu Xuanxuan paused. After a moment, she continued to move forward. She did not refuse or agree, but said, "I have to ask Sister Guoguo."
Jiang Xingxing showed his displeasure: "Why should you ask an outsider?"
"It was an appointment between me and Sister Guoguo to go out for fun. Suddenly we have to have more friends. I have to ask Sister Guoguo for her opinion."
Hearing what Lu Xuanxuan said, Xing Xing curled her lips and said, "I think you said that because you didn't want me to follow you?!"
"I don't."
Lu Xuanxuan shook her head.
"Luo Mingxi's brothers and sisters, Jing Yu brother and Xi Chenyu from the Xi family can all follow. You and I are also sisters, why can't we join in?" Without waiting for Lu Xuanxuan to respond, Jiang Xingxing added: "Actually, you are You don’t want me to come into contact with Luo Mingxi and the others, do you?”
"Do you like guessing that much?"
Lu Xuanxuan frowned and looked at Jiang Xingxing. She said expressionlessly: "I know you don't like me showing up at home, but Mother Luo forced me to come this time. I didn't want her to be sad, so I had to agree. Jiang Xingxing, you There is really nothing to worry about. I know my surname is Lu and I know that I am not a child of the Jiang family. I will not take anything from the Jiang family with you. "
Knowing that Jiang Xingxing was thinking too much, Lu Xuanxuan returned to the Lu family and tried her best not to go to Jiang's house because she was worried that Jiang Xingxing would think too much and make it difficult for Mr. Jiang and Jiang Nanzheng to get married.
But just because she's like this doesn't mean she can let the stars crowd in and bully her!
The miscarriage that year was due to carelessness at the health center. It was not her biological parents who intended to change the child. Therefore, neither her biological parents nor she owed Jiang Xingxing anything!
"That's nice to say!"
Jiang Xingxing sneered: "If you don't want to fight with me, why don't you reject my mother? Why do you want to come to my house and hinder my eyes?"
"I told you, it was Mother Luo who forced me to go to the general's house. As for being an eyesore to you, I think you are just looking for trouble. If you continue to gossip about me coming to the general's house, please leave immediately. I stay away!”
She could make concessions in front of Jiang Xingxing for her father and mother Luo, but her patience had its limits, and she would never let the other party target her endlessly as soon as he opened his mouth.
"you……"
Jiang Xingxing was humiliated by Lu Xuanxuan, and she felt her anger rising up. But before she could let out the anger, Lu Xuanxuan sped up, and within a moment, he was far away from her.
Seeing this, Xingxing stamped his feet fiercely and trotted after Lu Xuanxuan.
…
On the other side, after hanging up the phone from Lu Xuanxuan, Guoguo sat alone in the living room and didn't get up to leave.
Jiang Li and Luo Yanqing came in from the door. They saw their little daughter was so engrossed in her thoughts that they didn't even notice them coming in. The two couldn't help but look at each other, and then Jiang Li walked to sit on the sofa opposite Guoguo.
"What are you thinking about?"
As soon as her voice came out, Guoguo's thoughts were immediately brought back.
"Mom, I'm wondering if sister Xuanxuan will be bullied by Jiang Xingxing at Jiang's house."
Guoguo frowned: "I called Sister Xuanxuan twice. The first one was received by Aunt Luo. She said that Sister Xuanxuan was upstairs and asked me to wait for a moment. Unexpectedly, the general When Aunt Luo went to call Sister Xuanxuan, Xingxing picked up the phone and said that Sister Xuanxuan was not here, and then hung up on me. "
"Don't worry, Xuanxuan is not a soft persimmon who can be manipulated by others."
There was a smile on Jiang Li's lips, and his soft voice slowly spread out from his lips and teeth: "Besides, Jiang's family has always liked Xuanxuan, and they will not see Xuanxuan being bullied."
"Jiang Xingxing is the biological child of the Jiang family."
Guoguo is still a little worried: "The relationship between people is close and distant. How can I not speak to my family members?"
Without answering, Jiang Lixiao asked, "Then do you think your family members are the kind of unreasonable people?"
After thinking for a moment, Guoguo answered: "It doesn't look like it."
"Although we don't have much contact with Jiang's family, from my observation, that family is not stupid. They will not do such things as helping relatives but not helping others." Not to mention the old man of Jiang's family, just the child Xuanxuan My adoptive mother seems to be a sensible person.
He shouldn't have unjustly accused the little girl he had raised for eight or nine years just to protect his biological daughter.
Besides, she also saw this person in the hotel today. He grabbed Xuanxuan's child's hand and didn't let go for a moment, and it seemed to others that he obviously had true feelings for Xuanxuan.
Guoguo: "Mom, why did Jiang Xingxing hang up on me?"
Jiang Li: "This..."
"I think she did it on purpose." Guoguo said: "That year when I saw Jiang Xingxing at the general's house, I didn't like it at first sight. Later, sister Xuanxuan was taken to the general's uncle's home, and I went to the general's house. I saw with my own eyes that the stars were crushing on Sister Xuanxuan.”
"If you don't like it, don't like it. There's no need to worry about an outsider."
Jiang Li comforted Guoguo: "I'm really worried. When you see Xuanxuan tomorrow, ask her to avoid the general. As long as she doesn't come into contact, it will be difficult for the general to cause trouble for Xuanxuan."
"Okay, I will talk to Sister Xuanxuan."
Guoguo obviously listened to Jiang Li's words. Her frown relaxed and she asked with a smile: "Mom, are you going to go out with us tomorrow?"
"You don't know about your mother's situation?"
Luo Yanqing looked at Guo Guo and said calmly: "Besides, the temperature is not low tomorrow. Your mother has a heatstroke or is tired from going out. What should you do?"
"Dad, do you want mom to stay at home with you?"
Guoguo smiled meaningfully.
"So what?"
Luo Yanqing's ears felt hot, obviously he had been told what he meant.
"No, I just think Dad, you are so clingy to Mom!"
With that said, Guoguo stood up and ran out of the living room with a smile.
"Mr. Luo, are you three years old this year?"
Jiang Li's eyes were full of teasing.
"What?"
Luo Yanqing pretended to be confused.
"Just pretend!"
Jiang Li chuckled: "I've been to the Forbidden City at least twice. Don't worry, even if Guoguo and they carry me there tomorrow, I won't go. I'll just stay at home and talk to you until mid-afternoon. , and then I’ll personally take you back to the car.”
Being looked at by Jiang Li, Luo Yanqing turned away and coughed slightly uncomfortably. When his expression returned to normal, he turned his eyes to Jiang Li again and said, "I just want to spend more time with you. "
"I know, I know, Mr. Luo definitely doesn't have any bad intentions."
Jiang Li couldn't hold it back and chuckled again.
"Xiao Li, you..."
Luo Yanqing didn't know that his wife was making fun of him, but what could he do? Pamper me! No, his smiling eyes were full of helplessness: "I can make you happy by joking, so just go ahead and tease me."
"I'm not that unscrupulous."
Jiang Li smiled and changed the subject: "When I was pregnant with Tuanzi and the others, you didn't help with prenatal education. From now on, you will be responsible for prenatal education whenever you are around me!"
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say."
Luo Yanqing had no objection.
…
In the evening, I will go home.
"The landline phone is right here. Don't you want to call Luo Mingxi to inquire about her wishes? Call now!"
Since she had an unpleasant encounter with Lu Xuanxuan on the way to Xi's house in the afternoon, Jiang Xingxing knew that Lu Xuanxuan would definitely not call her when she went out to play tomorrow, but how could she let him leave her at home? While in the living room, she acted coquettishly to the elders in the family, indirectly forcing Lu Xuanxuan to agree to take her with her.
"Star!"
Luo Sichun frowned: "Guoguo is Xuanxuan's friend. They made an appointment to go play tomorrow. What does this have to do with you?"
"I want to finish it too, can't I?"
Jiang Xingxing's eyes instantly filled with water. She looked at Mr. Jiang and the rest of the Jiang family with a very aggrieved look, and then said to Luo Sichun: "In my heart, Sister Xuanxuan is my biological sister. Now that she comes to our house, I originally wanted to spend more time with her to cultivate the relationship between sisters, but she will go out to play with Luo Mingxi tomorrow, so I was thinking..."
I didn’t say the following words about the stars, but it’s no different from saying them.
That is, by following Lu Xuanxuan, we have the opportunity to continue to cultivate the sisterly relationship.
Speaking of which, Lu Xuanxuan was born a few minutes earlier than Jiang Xingxing. Therefore, Jiang Xingxing took the initiative to call Lu Xuanxuan her sister just now in order to gain sympathy from her family.
"Grandpa, dad, mom..."
Lu Xuanxuan called all her family members and said, "I came home today to see everyone. Sister Guoguo and I won't be here tomorrow after we leave the Forbidden City."
Seeing that these former family members wanted to say something, Lu Xuanxuan hurriedly explained: "Since everything is fine with everyone, I won't stay at home any longer. School is about to start, and I have to go back and finish the unfinished vacation homework, and prepare for the start of school. be prepared."
With her in this home, Jiang Xingxing would definitely keep asking her for trouble in private, and she was not willing to gossip with him at all. In this case, it would be better to go back to her own home earlier.
So that your ears can be clean!
Luo Sichun: "I just came home today, and I will go back to Guangming Town tomorrow. Xuanxuan, my mother will be sad if you do this."
"Mom, I will come to visit you and everyone again later."
Lu Xuanxuan did not let go. There was no trace of gloom in her eyes, and a bright smile on her face, she said: "Sister Guoguo is younger than me, but her fourth brother, fifth brother, and Xi Chenyu all entered college this year. I also I want to work harder and go to college early!”
The implication is that she will study hard when she returns home to Guangming Town.
Of course, the family didn't know what Lu Xuanxuan was talking about was an excuse. What did it mean to finish the unfinished holiday homework? This was just an excuse made by the little girl because she didn't want them to be embarrassed!
Because they all know very well that the little girl has always been self-disciplined in her studies. Every winter and summer vacation, she will complete her vacation homework in advance, and it is impossible to delay writing until the end of the vacation.
"After visiting the Forbidden City, you go home first and ask your father to drive you back to Guangming Town in person."
The old man stood up and looked at Lu Xuanxuan lovingly: "Study hard, grandpa is waiting for you to go to Beicheng to study at university."
"I'll do my best!"
It was not easy to get into a good university in Beicheng, but Lu Xuanxuan had confidence in herself.
He left the living room and went straight to the study.
"Xuanxuan, mom bought you a skirt and a set of sportswear some time ago. Come on, follow mom upstairs. Mom will try them on for you to see if they fit you."
"Thank you, Mom! Don't buy anything for me in the future. I have no shortage of clothes to wear."
Lu Xuanxuan was led upstairs by Luo Sichun.
The rest of the general's family also dispersed one after another. After a while, only Jiang Nanzheng and Jiang Xingxing were left in the living room.
"Dad, did I say something wrong?"
Looking at Jiang Nanzheng, Jiang Xingxing was so wronged that his tears fell one by one.
"What do you think?"
Jiang Nanzheng was very puzzled by this biological daughter. Even though she did not live with their parents when she was born, she did not suffer at the adoptive parents' home. Later, when she returned home, the whole family tried to be as good to the little girl as possible. Unexpectedly, this child has his own thoughts and has been unable to integrate into this family.
To be honest, it gave him a headache.
That's all. What makes Nan Zheng even more puzzled is why his daughter Xing Xing is not friendly to Xuan Xuan?
Yes, there was no calculation on the little girl's face, but as the saying goes, the eyes are the windows to the soul. Through the little girl's eyes, he could see clearly that his daughter Xingxing had a strong opinion of Xuanxuan.
why?
Jiang Nanzheng has been thinking about it for a long time, but he still can't figure it out.
He believed that he loved his two daughters very much. After all, one was his biological child and the other had been raised by his side for eight or nine years. If he was asked to favor one over the other, he couldn't do it!
"I have no idea."
Shake your head at the stars.
"Xingxing, Xuanxuan is not very familiar with you, and her friends are certainly not familiar with you either. Are you comfortable going out with Xuanxuan and the others?"
Jiang Nan Zheng looked at his daughter intently and said seriously: "Everyone has their own circle of friends. There is nothing wrong with you wanting to integrate into Xuanxuan's circle of friends, but the premise is that Xuanxuan and her friends are willing to accept you. "But as you saw tonight, Xuanxuan doesn't want to embarrass her friends because of your sudden request."
Jiang Xingxing sobbed: "What's there to be embarrassed about? I just want to play with them and be friends with them, but Sister Xuanxuan doesn't want to. Is she... is she blaming me for returning to our home and letting her live in Guangming Town? ?”
"What's wrong with your father Lu's house in Guangming Town?"
Nan Zheng's face sank and he said: "As far as I know, your father Lu and mother Ruan, as well as your brother Lu Tao, are very good to you. Moreover, your father Lu and mother Ruan receive monthly wages, and the living conditions at home are not good. Poor, and you have never treated your children badly, why do you sound like you have suffered a lot at Dad Lu’s house, and you even use the word ‘Guangming Town’ when you mention them?”
"It's just a small town there. How can it compare with Beicheng? How can it compare with our family? And I'm obviously your and your mother's child. Why do I have to live in such a small place for eight or nine years?"
In Jiang Xingxing's heart, these are the grievances she has suffered.
A native of Beicheng, she could have lived in a big house, had good food and clothing, learned piano and dance, but it turned out to be a good thing. She had lived in a small shabby place for eight or nine years, but Lu Xuanxuan enjoyed everything she had. Now What does it mean to have the audacity to visit her house?
Then catch the bugs. . .
