While sitting on the ground, Xia Ningyan tilted her head slightly. From the corner of her eyes, she saw Shi Jue's actions. Suddenly, a proud smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
It seemed things were going according to plan for Xia Ningyan.
'Shi Jue, you are smart and vigilant. However, you still fell for my tricks!' Xia Ningyan thought to herself.
She then glanced at the small medicine pouch in her palm. It seemed that this medicine was very effective.
'This is only the beginning. Slowly, you would turn your love for Xia Weiyang into hatred.' Xia Ningyan was looking forward to seeing the day when Shi Jue would finally push Xia Weiyang out of his life.
Lin Xilan glared at Shi Jue as she continued to insult Xia Weiyang. "What an ingrate. Only an adopted daughter would act so despicably. It seems the stories online are all true. Xia Weiyang is really despicable."
"Xia Ningyan, you've been wronged. Don't worry. As long as I'm here, I won't let you suffer any more," Lin Xilan gently said.
"Thank you, mom..."
"Mom, I think you're losing your focus."
Shi Jue maintained a serious expression on his face as he addressed Lin Xilan. "It seems you no longer have an idea of what's happening in this family. How would you feel if dad brings home a beautiful woman and a couple of kids who look exactly like him?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Do you really want me to think that your dad has another woman? What kind of son are you?" Lin Xilan angrily said as she fiercely stared at Shi Jue.
"I also want to ask, am I still your son? You clearly know my situation, yet you still brought home a dirty woman and forced her to be my wife..." However, before Shi Jue could finish his sentence, a strong feeling in his heart stopped him from talking.
He then frowned and took a deep look at Xia Ningyan. Shi Jue then turned around and left.
Xia Ningyan let out a sigh of relief. She thought that Shi Jue had realized what she did.
She then smiled as Lin Xilan continued to insult Xia Weiyang.
'Just wait, Shi Jue!' Xia Ningyan thought to herself.
'You will become like your mother in the future. You will accept me as your wife, and you will follow everything that I say!'
Xia Ningyan's smile grew bigger as she thought about the future.
She was looking forward to living a happy and luxurious life with the Shi family.
Xia Weiyang had found a new place to live in.
It was part of her plan to run away from Shi Jue.
Her new home was not too far from B City.
Xia Weiyang decided to live near the city because of her job. Also, she did not want to completely leave the city because her purpose for coming back was not yet finished.
Compared to her previous home, her new place looked a little shabby. It only had two bedrooms and a living room. Its decorations were also a bit outdated.
"Xia Weiyang, the house we used to live in was fine. Why do we have to move?" Li Yun asked as she packed her things.
"Li Yun, don't worry about it. I have my own reasons why we have to move." Xia Weiyang curled the corners of her mouth and smiled embarrassedly.
Xia Weiyang could not tell Li Yun that the reason why they were moving was because she needed to run away from the father of her children.
Li Yun glanced at Xia Weiyang and did not ask any more questions. She then turned around and went back to work.
Xia Weiyang watched her children as they played on the ground with a puzzle. A gentle smile appeared on her face.
"Mommy, mommy! Come over quickly." Suddenly, a soft voice sounded.
"Baby, did you miss mommy?" Xia Weiyang said as she moved over.
"Mommy, look at me. I can work faster than my brother." Du Du's small hand tugged at the hem of Xia Weiyang's skirt and pointed at her masterpiece. From the corner of her eyes, she glanced at Dian Dian. Her eyes were filled with pride.
Dian Dian immediately threw away the last piece of the puzzle. After seeing what her brother did, Du Du frowned. "Idiot!" she shouted.
