The relationship between Xue Mi and Ding Rou has taken a drastic turn for the worse, and Xue Wangui could probably guess the reason. After all, even he never thought that the person sleeping next to his pillow would be so indifferent to one child while giving everything to another.
The two contrasts were even more chilling.
Although Xue Wangui later expressed his understanding under Ding Rou's "explanation", after all, this was not something he could intervene in. However, he had some troubles in his heart.
A tiger, though cruel, will not devour its cubs, she is still like this to her own son, so what about Xue Mi, her stepdaughter? Xue Wangui didn't want to think of people in the worst place, nespecially his wife who had taken care of the family affairs for him all these years, but he had to make some precautions.
"Dad, then I'll go out first."
"Hmm."
In the past, Xue Wangui would definitely let his daughter stay with him and chat with Ding Rou a little more, but after finding out that Ding Rou might not be as good as he knew her to be, Xue Wangui felt that it might not be a bad thing for her to keep a distance from Ding Rou.
"Wangui?"
Ding Rou shouted again, this time Xue Xue opened the door directly.
"Ah, Mi Mi is here too?" Ding Rou obviously didn't expect Xue Mi to be inside, and after a moment of stunned, she smiled. "I didn't disturb your father and daughter's heart-to-heart conversation, did I?"
"No, my father and I have finished talking."
Xue Xue didn't want to waste time dealing with Ding Rou, sidestepping when she reached out to hold her hand.
Ding Rou didn't expect that Xue Xue didn't even do this little for face now, and looked up at Xue Wangui rather aggrieved. Unexpectedly, Xue Wangui was focused on the document again, and didn't even look at her at all.
First, she was completely rejected by Xue Xue, and then she was ignored by Xue Wangui, the gentle smile on Ding Rou's face was almost tensed.
But in the end she persevered.
"Is that so, I just made you your favorite white peach steamed cake before. It's probably cold in the kitchen. Go and eat it now."
White peach steamed cake? White peach steamed cake has never been Xue Mi's favorite snack, and she even has a slight allergy to peaches, but because Jiang Anyang loved the white peach steamed cake made by Ding Rou in the past, so she pestered Ding Rou to teach her on the excuse that she liked it.
"What's the matter, Mi Mi? Why are you looking at me like this?"
Ding Rou felt particularly uncomfortable when Xue Xue was staring at her.
There is a sense of oppression that is condescending to others.
"Nothing, thank you, Aunt Ding." Xue Xue retracted her gaze, twitched the corner of her mouth, and said perfunctorily. "You and father can talk, I have to go first."
Ding Rou naturally wouldn't make a fool of herself, and after making sure Xue Xue's figure disappeared around the corner, she immediately walked towards Xue Wan Gui.
"Wangui."
"Yes?"
"I have something I want to talk to you about." Ding Rou said, putting her hands on Xue Wangui's temples and gently massaging. "It's about…"
"If it's about Mi Mi and Pingyang, you don't have to talk about it." Xue Wangui put the pen down and closed his eyes. "I know you don't like Pingyang, but he's your son no matter what, an excellent man, and Mi Mi can pick Pingyang because she has a good eye."
At these words Ding Rou's movements froze.
"I know what you mean, don't worry, as you said, Ping Yang and An Yang are both my sons, whoever can make Mi Mi happy is the same."
Ding Rou's tone was very calm and has no excess emotions , which was completely different from the agitation whenever she mentioned Jiang Pingyang before.
Xue Wangui was quite surprised.
"After talking to you, I figured it out." Although Ding Rou couldn't see Xue Wangui, but after getting along for so long, she could guess what Xue Wangui was thinking. "Thinking about it carefully, this is probably because God gave me the opportunity to get along with Ping Yang in another way. There's nothing wrong with it .
"Well ... you can think of it in this way is very good."
"Yeah, it's a lot better." Ding Rou's hand went down slowly. "But Wan Gui, what I want to talk to you about today is An Yang."
"Anyang? What's wrong with Anyang?"
"It's like this ..."
*
"Did you do it?"
"Yes."
"Well, how did she react?"
"She has promised to return the money for Jiang Anyang, as for how to return, we did not ask."
"It's okay, you guys did a great job, but I want to be notified as soon as the money is in the account."
"Okay."
Xue Xue hung up the phone.
She probably guessed what Ding Rou was going to talk about when she went to the study to find Xue Wangui that day.
In Xue Mi's memory, Jiang Anyang was a very tolerant man. If not for the years of sleeping together, even if Xue Mi was blinded by love and anesthetized, she wouldn't have been blind to Jiang An Yang's intentions.
But because of the arrival of Xue Xue, it triggered a series of butterfly effects that caught the man off guard. When the original plan deviated from the track, Jiang Anyang accelerated towards self-destruction like a stalled train.
First, Xue Xue's attitude changed greatly, then Xue Xue decided to study in the company, and finally Xue Xue and Jiang Pingyang were together. These three things happened one after another, which caught Jiang Anyang by surprise.
It stands to reason that he was brought by Ding Rou since he was a child. Later, he broke contact with Jiang Huaide after Ding Rou married into the Xue family. He should not have much interaction with Jiang Pingyang, but he was guided by Ding Rou's words and deeds.
He hates Jiang Pingyang and doesn't need any reason.
Now, the "Xue Mi" who used to be all about him is with Jiang Pingyang. Jiang An Yang's pride does not allow him to accept this, especially after "Xue Mi" becomes his woman.
What made Jiang Anyang more difficult to bear was that Xue Wangui, who was so indifferent to him, praised Jiang Pingyang endlessly, even hinted that he should not step between them several times. How could Ding Rou, who was gentle on the surface but arrogant inside, swallow this tone?
A person who is usually accustomed to being praised will often be more lethal once the out-of-control fuse is ignited.
Jiang Anyang is the best example.
Before Xue Xue could make a move, he went to his own death.
When Xue Xue was checking the accounts, she accidentally discovered that Jiang Anyang had recently handled a case where the funding project was not correct. After searching for the line, she found that Jiang Anyang had teamed up with outsiders to make fake orders for performance.
At the beginning, Jiang Anyang obviously had scruples, and was careful and thorough, but he didn't know if he knew the taste of the marrow. In the past month, the number has more than doubled.
The flaws naturally emerged.
Xue Xue had an idea in her mind right now.
She secretly sent someone to investigate the company that cooperated with Jiang Anyang's plan, and found that there was a family struggle for property, so she took evidence and joined hands with the son of the former boss who was interested in taking back the company, and the other party provided Xue Xue with details. The information and the prosecution made it possible for the wicked to be caught in a single sweep. They were grateful, and naturally cooperated with Xue Xue's request.
So Jiang Anyang, who originally thought that he and others were enjoying a big meal, unknowingly became a mess without knowing it, and even got bigger and bigger with the "help" of caring people, and finally became too big to handle.
Realizing that he had been deceived, Jiang Anyang had no choice but to use the company's assets to fill the hole, but he didn't have the relevant authority right now, so he needed Ding Rou to tell Xue Wangui.
Therefore, Jiang Anyang, who had temporarily escaped the catastrophe, did not know that the mantis caught the cicada, but the oriole was behind. The real hunter was only now starting to deal with her prey.
