But it disappeared very quickly.

Although it didn't exist for long, it was still captured by An Yuning.

She slightly pursed her lips and turned her head away from the seemingly harmonious mother and son.

The mother and son, feigning affection, each harboring their own schemes. This family is truly a spectacle.

An Yuning simply couldn't bear to look at the mother and son.

"Ah! What's wrong?" Zhou Zhao turned to look at Old Madam Zhou with a puzzled expression.

"My dear son, what are you thinking about? I said those two bullied me." Old Mrs. Zhou saw that Zhou Zhao was deep in thought.

"Nothing. Mom, did you do something?" Zhou Zhao knew his mother very well.

Unless she goes looking for trouble with other people, who would bother her?

Therefore, Zhou Zhao could guess who was right and who was wrong without anyone having to say it.

After all, he had already cleaned up many troubles for Old Mrs. Zhou.

"What can I do? Didn't you say she was your girlfriend last time, and you even gave her a lot of things? I had to ask around for days to find out where she lives." Old Mrs. Zhou pursed her lips and explained irritably.

When Grandma Zhou said that, Zhou Zhao remembered that he had also helped Grandma Zhou resolve a matter that day.

He saw Jiang Anxia by chance.

By then, the matter had already been resolved.

He saw her when he was helping Grandma Zhou home.

He didn't expect that his casual remark would be remembered by Old Mrs. Zhou.

He still remembers what he said.

"Mom, look, she's my girlfriend. I'm going to buy her lots of things in the future." Zhou Zhao remembered that when she said this, she was very animated and her eyebrows were dancing.

But now it seems that, because of Old Mrs. Zhou, he probably doesn't have a good impression of her.

After all, no one wants to marry into a family with a wicked mother-in-law.

"I was just saying it offhand, it's completely untrue." Zhou Zhao came to his senses, his expression extremely unpleasant.

"That's not what you said back then." Old Mrs. Zhou's face hardened, her voice became stern, and even her expression changed.

"Mom! We should go back." Zhou Zhao didn't answer, changing the subject instead.

He didn't want to talk too much about this with Grandma Zhou, after all, he didn't want her to interfere in anything he did.

Because of Old Mrs. Zhou, he was in his mid-twenties and still hadn't found a wife.

If it weren't for Grandma Zhou, he would already be married with a wife and children. Why would he still be single?

"What did you say? They bullied your mother, and this is how you did it? I went through all that trouble to give birth to you, and this is how you treat me?" Old Mrs. Zhou's face was extremely ugly.

She wanted nothing more than to slap Zhou Zhao across the face; this was how the son she had risked her life to give birth to had treated her.

"Mom, haven't you done enough? I was the one who solved it every time. Do you see how much your older brother and sister care about you?" Zhou Zhao was hurt by her mother's words.

He was after Old Mrs. Zhou's money, but he still genuinely cared for her. Otherwise, with Old Mrs. Zhou's sharp tongue, she would have been slapped countless times.

Of his other siblings, none of them were willing to take care of Old Mrs. Zhou; it was only he who was willing.

"What are you saying? I'm your mother, I risked my life to bring you into this world. If I had known it would turn out like this, I should have thrown you away when you were born." This time, Old Mrs. Zhou was furious.

So this is what happened to the son she raised with such care? She should have abandoned him in the first place.

Zhou Zhao was utterly heartbroken by what Old Mrs. Zhou said.

He didn't expect that just because he didn't help her once, Old Mrs. Zhou would say such things about him.

"That's enough, Mom, I'm tired." Zhou Zhao's voice suddenly became weak, and she looked completely listless.

After speaking, Zhou Zhao released the hand that was supporting Old Madam Zhou, turned around and left.

Grandma Zhou, who remained where she was, watched Zhou Zhao's retreating figure, a nameless emotion flashing in her eyes.

Grandma Zhou turned and glanced at Jiang Anxia and An Yuning before leaving as well.

Jiang Anxia watched the departing figures, feeling utterly speechless.

So, that's the end of the abuse she suffered? What's going on?

"Xiaxia, are you alright?" Although she had looked closely, An Yuning still felt more at ease asking.

“No, when she tried to kick me, I took a step back, and she missed.” Jiang Anxia shook her head, her voice soft and sweet.

"That's good." An Yuning responded softly, something flashing through her mind.

"Second brother, are you going back?" Seeing An Yuning with his head down, Jiang Anxia couldn't see his expression clearly.

"Yes, otherwise why would I have come out?" An Yuning put aside her thoughts, smiled slightly, and spoke in a gentle voice.

The girl is still young; he won't let this go so easily.

An Yuning had already made a mental note of Zhou's actions against her.

“Okay! I’ll go with you!” Jiang Anxia also wanted to go see her mother.

An's mother fell ill a few days ago, and because of the rain, she didn't like to go out, so I rarely visited her.

The timing is perfect, so I'll go take a look.

“Okay.” An Yuning chuckled softly, her eyes filled with a gentle smile.

It seems the little girl has completely accepted them.

Jiang Anxia walked beside An Yuning, occasionally exchanging a few words with him.

What kind of gossip is this? Jiang Anxia just says whatever comes to mind.

An Yuning listened with a smile on her face the whole time, occasionally chiming in with a few words.

Jiang Anxia breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that An Yuning showed no signs of impatience.

She did it on purpose; she wanted to see how tolerant An Yuning was of her.

An Yuning naturally saw through Jiang Anxia's little scheme.

He understood the girl's behavior, so he was willing to indulge her.

......

"Xiaxia? What brings you here?" Mother An looked at Jiang Anxia, ​​who appeared from behind An Yuning, with surprise and delight.

"Mom, I've come to see you." Jiang Anxia smiled gently and replied.

At this moment, Jiang Anxia appeared even more gentle.

An Yuning could sense that Jiang Anxia's aura changed in an instant.

It's become softer and more gentle. Even the person looks more delicate and sweet.

This kind of change is something An Yu-ning is happy to see.

"It's hot now, were you tired from walking here?" As she spoke, An's mother poured a glass of water and placed it in front of Jiang Anxia.

"Not tired." Jiang Anxia shook her head, picked up her cup, and took a small sip.

She wasn't thirsty, but since her mother had poured it, it would be polite to pick it up and take a sip.

"It's good that you're not too tired. How have you been feeling lately?" Mother An knew that Jiang Anxia was not in good health.

Because she gave birth to Jiang Anxia prematurely.

Jiang Anxia was born with a smile that was noticeably brighter than other children.

I finally managed to feed them some meat, but it was stolen on the day of the full moon celebration.

Even now, An's mother still feels guilty.

Because in her heart, she felt it was her fault, otherwise Jiang Anxia wouldn't have been stolen.
