Xiao Miaomiao stood at the door waiting for her parents to come home, with a happy smile on her face. When she saw her parents-in-law coming back, she immediately went to greet them warmly: "Mom and Dad, you are back, it's just right for dinner."
Ouyang Xuan was very pleased to see Xiao Miaomiao being well-behaved and sensible. She smiled and said to Xiao Miaomiao, "Okay, let's go in and eat. Miaomiao, you can eat first when you are hungry in the future. You don't have to wait for us to come back. There are not so many rules at home."
Li Chen also agreed: "Well, Miaomiao, listen to your mother. We don't have such rules in our family. Do whatever makes you comfortable." He was very satisfied with his daughter-in-law and loved her as his own daughter.
Xiao Miaomiao looked at her parents-in-law gratefully and replied with a smile, "It's okay, it's more lively when we eat together." She was aware of their good intentions, but she preferred to share warm moments with her family.
Ouyang Xuan and Li Chen looked at each other and smiled helplessly. They understood Xiao Miaomiao's thoughts. Although they felt sorry for her, they also respected her decision. After all, eating together was indeed more lively and more lively.
Li Chen suddenly remembered something and said to Xiao Miaomiao seriously, "I have already told the housekeeper not to let anyone from the Xiao family come here in the future. If you don't want to see them, don't see them. Don't put yourself in a difficult position."
A touch of emotion flashed in Xiao Miaomiao's eyes, and she said softly, "Okay, thank you, Dad."
Li Chen patted her shoulder gently and said gently: "You're welcome. We are all family."
Xiao Miaomiao felt warm in her heart when she looked at them. Yes, they were a family. Only they were like this. As for the Xiao family, they were just insignificant people to her.
Xiao Zhao didn't know how he got back home. What the Li couple said was indeed a huge blow to him. Given their status and position, there was no need for them to lie, so it was most likely true.
If this is the case, then it is understandable that Xiao Miaomiao doesn't like her stepmother's family. He really has no right to ask Xiao Miaomiao to do anything.
When Xiao Zhao thought of this, he felt uncomfortable. For so many years, he couldn't understand why his sister suddenly changed. It turned out that everything had a reason.
When Xiao Lin saw his son coming back, he immediately went to meet him and asked, "Xiao Zhao, how is it going? Did your sister agree to let Jiang Qi give up the position of CEO to me?"
Xiao Lin can now only place his only hope on his son. If Xiao Miaomiao can help him get the position of president, then he can continue to control the company and will not be kicked out of the house.
Xiao Zhao shook his head, looking a little tired.
"Have you told Miaomiao? If she doesn't agree, you can disown her as your sister and she will agree." Xiao Lin looked at him and said. He could still see that in the Xiao family, the only person Xiao Miaomiao cared about was Xiao Zhao.
Xiao Zhao looked at Xiao Lin, with a complex emotion in his eyes: "Dad, Miaomiao doesn't want to see me. Didn't you say you don't want to acknowledge her as your daughter? Don't look for her anymore. The current head of the Li family said that if anyone from the Xiao family, including me, appears in front of Xiao Miaomiao again and makes her unhappy, our Xiao family will not be able to stay in Yun City."
Xiao Lin frowned and said unhappily: "So what? Are you still afraid of them? As long as Miaomiao is willing to come back, everything will be fine."
Xiao Zhao sneered, his eyes full of disappointment and anger: "Dad, when Miaomiao was born, you wanted to kill Miaomiao, right?"
When Xiao Lin heard this, his face turned pale instantly, his eyes flickered, and he didn't dare to look directly into Xiao Zhao's eyes.
Xiao Zhao studied psychology, so how could he not see Xiao Lin's evasion and guilty conscience? His heart seemed to be stabbed hard. It turned out that the father he had always thought of was so cold-blooded and heartless.
Xiao Zhao took a deep breath, suppressed the pain and anger in his heart, and said slowly: "I'm going back to my room." After that, he turned and left, leaving Xiao Lin with a look of astonishment.
"Brother, did Xiao Miaomiao say something? That's all slander! The Jiang family said that because they blame my dad for marrying my mom! Don't believe what they say! We are a family!" Xiao Yuyan explained anxiously, her eyes full of panic.
However, Xiao Zhao remained unmoved. He slowly opened his hands and looked at Xiao Yuyan in front of him with cold eyes. At this moment, he suddenly felt that this sister had become so strange.
"Whether it's true or false, he knows it clearly in his heart." Xiao Zhao said expressionlessly and turned away.
After returning to the room, Xiao Zhao smiled self-deprecatingly. He finally understood why Xiao Miaomiao hated the Xiao family so much. It turned out that from the very beginning, the Xiao family did not treat her as a family member.
Xiao Zhao sat silently beside the bed, his eyes involuntarily falling on the family photo placed on the table.
This family photo included him, his father, and his stepmother's family, but Xiao Miaomiao was missing. Xiao Zhao suddenly felt flustered, and he hurriedly opened the cabinet to look for another photo. Fortunately, it was still there.
It was a precious photo, with only him and his mother in it. His mother was pregnant at that time, and Xiao Miaomiao was still in her belly, only five months old and had not yet been born.
Xiao Zhao held the photo tightly, feeling endless guilt and self-blame in his heart. He realized that he had ignored Xiao Miaomiao's feelings over the years, causing her to suffer too much grievance and pain.
In the photo, a little boy gently places his hand on his mother's belly, with an innocent and determined smile on his face.
The little boy once vowed to protect his sister, but now he feels as if he has lost her. Now, the relationship between him and his sister has become so tense that it can even be called hostility.
Xiao Zhao hugged the photo frame tightly, as if trying to hold on to the warm memories of the past, but the reality made him feel extremely heavy.
Xiao Zhao sat there silently after a sleepless night, his thoughts flooding into his mind. When the sky gradually turned pale, he finally realized that a whole night had passed.
Xiao Zhao slowly stood up, walked to the window, and looked into the distance blankly. Suddenly, his eyes were attracted by a familiar figure.
Seeing Xiao Miaomiao running towards the front door of his house, Xiao Zhao put down the photo and ran out.
When he caught up with her, there was a man and a dog running with Xiao Miaomiao. They were accommodating Xiao Miaomiao's running speed and deliberately slowing down to keep pace with her.
Xiao Zhao felt an urge to call Xiao Miaomiao, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he didn't know what to say.
Zhang Jie noticed Xiao Zhao from the beginning, but thinking of Xiao Miaomiao's dislike for the Xiao family, he said nothing.
