Pretending to be cute

"For so many years, you have been lied to!"

Wan Hong paused for a moment, with a sad expression on his face: "Before you have been refusing to go home, and you didn't take the initiative to contact us. Your godfather and I thought you were still remembering the past, but I didn't expect that you misunderstood us so much."

Hearing Li Mi's name, Xiao Ling froze slightly.The next moment, as if nothing had happened, she played with the grapes in her hand and said, "Godmother, I liked President Li and wanted to live with her, so I agreed to your suggestion. I don't mean to blame you." At most, a little awkward, not as exaggerated as holding a grudge."

"It's good if you don't hold grudges... You think it's normal for us to abandon you, it's awkward, but Lingling, how can things be so simple? You were too young back then, so it's not convenient for us to tell you, but when you become an adult, I want to tell you ,You went abroad again, there is no chance. After finally you go home, now I can tell you these things. "

Seeing that Xiao Ling was interested, Wan Hong continued: "We actually had a reason at the time... Sending you away was not because we were really assured that Li would always take good care of you, but because she used her family relationship to coerce us to rob us Take your custody."

"Coercion? Custody?"

"Yes. You know, at that time the only child left in the Xiao family was you, a child who was less than ten years old. To snatch your custody rights meant to snatch everything from the Xiao family. Everyone flocked to him, so Li Mi took over Hong Jiang. If you want to be able to speak, you need a certain amount of manpower and financial resources, and you are the best help."

Yes, of course she knew.

As the center of the storm back then, as the object of everyone's flattery, coaxing and humiliation, how could she not know?She understands it better than anyone else.

Xiao Ling nodded, feeling calm in his heart, and even wanted to laugh: "Since everyone is flocking to her, then... Godmother and Godfather are also one of them, right?"

Wan Hong's eyes flashed coldly.

Then, her eyes turned red, and big tears fell from the corners of her eyes, she was extremely sad: "Lingling, we don't blame you for thinking of us so much. Who said that the Li family was powerful back then, but we were weak, so we couldn't protect you What about the Xiao family property? You and Li Mi have such a good relationship, as long as she mentions it to you, it's normal if you don't believe us..."

When it came to her sadness, the woman almost covered her face and wept.If it wasn't for Xiao Ling's understanding of this person's temperament, she would have almost been fooled by her perfect acting skills.It's a pity that she has long understood that the so-called godfather and godmother don't have bright red blood flowing all over their bodies, but filthy water.

——What do you think I brought back a tow bottle?Didn't she make her be willing to hold the Xiao family's things in her hands and give them to us?Be patient, the broken bowl will be broken, and in exchange for such a large amount of money and a company, no matter how you think about it, we earn it.By the way, take care of Pianyan, don't let her bully that child.

——Even if you want to bully, wait until we win custody.But at that time, just find a reason to send her away, she looks too much like Xiao Fengkai and Xu Mingqing, the two dead people, it looks very unlucky.

At that time, Xiao Lingcai was taken to this home, and accidentally broke a Qing Dynasty porcelain bowl that Du Qingnan loved.Seeing the debris all over the place, Du Qingnan and Wan Hong didn't say anything, instead of blaming her, they asked her with concern if she was scratched.

After the meal, knowing that she had caused trouble, she quietly went to Du Qingnan and Wan Hong's room to apologize to her godfather again, but she heard these words.

That night, Xiao Ling remembered the color of the sky very clearly.It's as dark as ink, it can't be washed off, it can't be seen through, just like this human heart.Xiao Ling suddenly felt tired and lost the idea of ​​circling around.

"Li Mi never mentioned you." Xiao Ling said.

"how is this possible……"

"Listen to your tone, you hate Li Mi very much, so why did you send Du Pianyan to curry favor with her? And for what reason, did you tell me this so urgently, hoping that I would share the same hatred with you?"

Wan Hong's complexion changed, but she forced a smile and said: "Lingling, what are you talking about, when will I ask Pianyan to curry favor with Li Mi? It's true that I hate her, but that's because she took advantage of Qingnan Company's The crisis threatens us, so I treat her... Wait a minute, do you want to speak for her now? Just because she has raised you for so many years?"

"If I say yes, will you still scold me for being a thief as a father, for being ashamed of my parents, the ancestors of the Xiao family? Godmother, stop making trouble, and use the lines that you are almost tired of listening to in TV dramas?"

Wan Hong, who was about to say this, opened her mouth and choked.

Xiao Ling turned his hands over, letting the grapes in his palm fall into the trash can under his feet, and said calmly: "She has taken care of me meticulously for so many years, I am very surprised, where is your confidence, I don't trust her, but trust you ? Dear godmother?"

Wan Hong was furious: "Xiao Ling, you should first find out who is your real relative! Li Mi took care of you only because of your Xiao family's money, otherwise why do you think she bothered so much? You might not Remember, when you were only a few years old, Mingqing entrusted you to us and..."

Xiao Ling waved his hand impatiently, and interrupted: "I remember, you don't need to say any more. No one knows better than me how Li Mi treats me and how you treat me. Think about how many times we have met in the past ten years."

"you……"

Xiao Ling didn't even look at Aunt Zhang who was at the side, stared at Wan Hong, and said bluntly: "I don't want to argue with you anymore, tell me, why are you willing to give up my custody rights and the things of the Xiao family to Li Mi? Back then, what terms did she use to exchange with you?"

Hearing these words, Wan Hong, who originally wanted to teach others a lesson, fell silent.She looked at Xiao Ling quietly for a while, then wiped away her tears suddenly, and laughed loudly: "So, this is your real purpose tonight, right? I was thinking just now, you haven't looked for us in the past few years, don't Speaking of going home, it is difficult to see each other, why did he suddenly change his temper?"

Xiao Ling remained indifferent.

Don't talk about looking back for them, just holding back the desire for revenge, she has already used her utmost strength.She always knew that Li Mi would not like her real personality, but she still wanted to be a little more obedient, even if it was just an illusion.

Warm light and night must exist only in the same way.

Seeing Xiao Ling's reticent appearance, Wan Hong calmed down instead, motioned for Aunt Zhang to leave, sat down and said, "Lingling, since you and Li Mi are as close as you are, why don't you ask her in person, and you still have to look If you don’t trust me, ask for the truth? I don’t think you trust Li Mi that much, let me guess, have you found out under whose name Ming Xiao belongs?”

Being poked at the sore spot, Xiao Ling's nails slowly sank into the palm of his hand, with a puzzled look on his face: "What, isn't Ming Xiao bankrupt? Even if not, do you want to say that Ming Xiao is in Li Mi's hands?"

Prey takes the bait.

Wan Hong made up her mind, acted like an elder, and said earnestly: "Silly boy, how could Ming Xiao go bankrupt silently! It is now a subsidiary of Hongjiang, you can find it out after checking."

I thought that the other party would be shocked and angry, and then walked into her trap, but I didn't expect that Xiao Ling just raised his eyebrows, and then said with a half-smile: "So the godmother also knows."

"You! You're actually deceiving me!"

The calculation was completely in vain, and Wan Hong's chest heaved with anger.But thinking of the result of her discussion with her husband, she still endured it: "Huh, so what if I know? Instead of caring about this, you should care about Ming Xiao. It is a certain fact that Li Mi seized your parents' company. Are you really Are you willing to let Li Mi control it?"

Here comes the point.

Xiao Ling had suspected that Wan Hong and Du Qingnan had other plans to find her, so they came here tonight for three purposes.One is to confirm the matter of Ming Xiao. According to Gu Lingyu's information and Wan Hong's reaction, it has been verified that Ming Xiao is indeed one of Hongjiang's subsidiaries; the other is to know what price Li Mi paid to let this The two old foxes give up the custody rights and family property that they can easily get?The third thing is to find out the intentions of Wan Hong and Du Qingnan.

Originally, she wanted to pretend to be a well-behaved person for a while, but seeing Wan Hong's disgusting face, she gave up this idea.

Xiao Ling is not good at playing goddaughter.Compared with this false relationship, Wan Hong and Du Qingnan should trust the relationship based on common interests.

For example, Ming Xiao.

"Godmother, Ming Xiao is the only thing my parents left me, I'm definitely not reconciled! It's just that Li Mi's kindness to me is as great as a mountain, and I can't do anything to hurt her..."

The two have already torn their faces apart, they can't lie to Wan Hong if they don't favor Li Mi, and they trust Li Mi too much to talk about it.

With such half-truths and half-false words, Wan Hong was drawn into it instead. She was overjoyed and suggested, "I have a method that can not only take back Ming Xiao, but also avoid directly damaging Li Mi's interests, and won't shake her confidence." Fundamentally. It's just that I need Lingling to help you a little..."

More than ten minutes later, Du Pianyan came down from upstairs, but saw the door in the direction of the entrance slowly closing, and a corner of light blue clothes flashed behind her.

She frowned, and went straight to the living room: "Mom, Xiao Ling is gone?"

"Ah."

Wan Hong, who was thinking about something, came back to her senses, rubbed her temples, looked at her daughter and said, "Isn't this a good thing? In case you have to complain to me about this and that. By the way, you don't have to ask her to go home from now on." .”

Du Pianyan was even more suspicious: "Why? Isn't the greatest wish of you and your father is to hope that she will go home so that she can take care of her for Uncle Xiao and Aunt Xu? He also said that in the future, Xiao Ling will be..."

She bit her lip, with a delicate expression: "My sister."

In fact, over the years, Du Pianyan has not been as resistant to Xiao Ling as she has shown.She was raised as an only child since she was a child, and when Xiao Ling came, her parents' love and affection lost more than half. She was used to being proud, so of course she couldn't bear it.

After finally getting used to the existence of a younger sister, she was taken away in a blink of an eye. The unsent gift in Du Pianyan's room lasted for ten years.In the long years, it's okay to ignore her love and answer, and she was indifferent to her parents, and never went home. Du Pianyan was very disappointed in this younger sister.

However, in the few pleasant conversations, Du Pianyan gradually discovered that this super-obedient younger sister also has another side that is unknown to everyone.On that side, even Li Mi, who is closest to Xiao Ling, didn't know about it, which made Du Pianyan happy for a long time.

Sister Li's yelling is always in her mouth, it's not as good as being natural and real when she gets along with herself, she thought triumphantly.

Therefore, although several conversations ended badly, Du Pianyan became more and more curious about Xiao Ling.This time Wan Hong asked her to go up to tidy the room, her face was full of my displeasure, but when she went upstairs to make the bed, she was more attentive than Aunt Zhang.

But, why did he leave again?

"Sister? Pianyan, why are you so stupid, her surname is Xiao, your surname is Du, what kind of sisters and sisters, it's a little game of playing house, don't take it seriously. We will only cooperate with her in the future, you don't have to meet her face to face , other things, your father and I will come forward to solve them."

"But……"

"It's getting late, you go to bed earlier, Mom still has something to do, good night." Wan Hong got up and walked upstairs, not wanting to talk anymore.

Aunt Zhang was still cleaning up the room upstairs, and Du Pianyan was the only one left in the living room.

She breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the window, touched the glass covered with water droplets, and said in a daze, "Why is it raining heavily..."

Does that person have an umbrella?
