Xiao Tuantuan held Chen Xue's hair tightly, refusing to let go no matter how much Chen Xue struggled and screamed!

Suddenly, Xiao Tuantuan sensed Ning Nanxiao's happiness.

Chen Xue, who was older than Xiao Tuantuan, couldn't open her eyes and burst into tears, crying loudly, "You bastard! Let me go!"

"You bitch! You'll die a horrible death!"

"Xiao Tuantuan! Let me go! You're a slut! You're a bastard!"

The crowd's expressions darkened slightly as they watched Chen Xue's grimacing face, their anger burning fiercely within them.

Chen Zhixiu hurriedly went over: "Tuantuan, let her go! Xue'er, how could you say such rude things?"

Seeing Chen Xue writhing like an earthworm, Xiao Tuantuan suddenly let go. With a "bang," Chen Xue fell to the ground, her teeth hitting the ground hard and bleeding.

"Xiao Tuantuan, you did this on purpose!"

Xiao Tuantuan squatted down and tapped Chen Xue's forehead with her finger: "Same here."

Chen Xue got up from the ground, glaring at Xiao Tuantuan through gritted teeth: "You're just a bastard who has a father but no father!"

"And what about you?" Xiao Tuantuan retorted sarcastically. "At least I know who my father is, and at least my mother still supports me. What about you? Do you even know who your father is? Does your mother still want you?"

Just as Chen Xue was about to speak, Xiao Tuantuan continued, "Don't tell me your father is Master Wang, do you think he'll even acknowledge you?"

"If I am a bastard, then what are you? A bastard who is even worse than a bastard?"

"Tuantuan!" Feng Yue quickly came over and picked up Xiao Tuantuan: "Don't say such filthy things."

Xiao Tuantuan stuck out her tongue and said with great annoyance, "Tuantuan was wrong."

"Chen Xue." Nan Nian walked over with a frown. Seeing her fierce look, she took a deep breath and suppressed her anger. "We don't want to raise an enemy. Go on your way and go find your mother."

Chen Xue stared stubbornly at Nan Nian, her eyes filled with a fierce look.

Nan Nian shook her head in disappointment: "We didn't cause you to be in this state, Chen Xue. We raised you out of kindness, and if we hadn't, no one could have found fault with us. It's one thing if you're not grateful, but why did you deliberately hurt Tuanzi?"

Chen Xue remained silent, only looking at Chen Wenxiu.

Chen Wenxiu's eyes were devoid of emotion. He walked up to Chen Xue and slapped her across the face!

"I was your father after all, so I'll teach you what you should and shouldn't say!"

"Also, if you don't want to stay in the Chen family, then get lost!"

Chen Xue was so frightened that she covered her face and didn't dare to say another word.

Xiao Tuantuan thought Chen Xue was pretty stupid; if she were in a storybook, she would definitely die in the first episode.

"Wow!"

Chen Xue cried!

"I didn't mean to, I'm sorry!"

Chen Xue's sudden apology surprised everyone.

With a "plop," Chen Xue knelt down: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I was just jealous because you all like Tuantuan so much. I promise I won't do it again. Please don't send me away..."

“Something is definitely amiss,” Chen Xingfeng muttered to himself, his face grim.

"Something's not right, something's really not right," Chen Lingfeng said, stroking his chin and trying to sound mature.

Seeing Chen Xue crying her heart out, Chen Zhixiu's heart softened again: "Father, Mother, let it go, it's just a child."

Chen Luo frowned: "Xiu'er, didn't you hear what she just said to Tuantuan?"

Chen Zhixiu's expression changed.

"Auntie, I was wrong! I was really wrong!" Chen Xue suddenly started kowtowing, each time harder than the last, and Chen Zhixiu quickly stopped her.

"Alright, alright."

Chen Zhixiu sighed: "You mustn't do that again in the future."

The others exchanged glances, strongly disapproving of Chen Zhixiu's actions.

“Since Mother has forgiven you, then I’ll forgive you this time too.” Xiao Tuantuan tilted her head and said with a smile, looking exceptionally harmless.

"Has my sister gone mad?!" Chen Lingfeng couldn't help but exclaim.

Chen Xingfeng stopped Chen Lingfeng: "What do you expect Tuantuan to do? After all, Auntie has already agreed."

"Auntie's silly too," Chen Lingfeng muttered, earning a sharp rap on the head from Rong Manli.

Chen Lingfeng touched his head and pursed his lips.

"Go back and eat," Feng Yue said, and everyone went inside.

Chen Zhixiu led Chen Xue inside, and as they passed Xiao Tuantuan, Chen Xue proudly raised her chin at Xiao Tuantuan.

Chen Xue felt that her mother was absolutely right. No matter what she had done wrong, as long as she cried, her aunt, that fool, would definitely side with her!

Feng Yue's birthday was obviously ruined by Chen Xue. After everyone finished eating, they all went to attend to their own business.

That evening, Chen Zhixiu held Xiao Tuantuan in her arms and whispered, "Tuantuan, are you blaming your mother?"

"Mother just feels sorry for your sister Xue'er. Can you understand Mother?"

Xiao Tuantuan met Chen Zhixiu's somewhat uneasy eyes and said softly, "Mother, but she bullied Tuantuan. She called Tuantuan a bastard. Should Mother forgive such a person?"

"She's still young and doesn't understand things yet. Don't worry, Mother will teach her well."

Xiao Tuantuan felt down, but didn't say much: "Okay, Tuantuan understands."

Early the next morning, Chen Zhixiu got up to make some snacks. Two hours later, Rong Manyi also got up and brought Chen Zhixiu, Chen Xingfeng, Chen Lingfeng, and Xiao Tuantuan to the town.

The three children were going to school today, but since Tokiomi was still early, he helped take down the tall table and put some snacks on it.

Soon, many vendors arrived one after another, and seeing the exquisite pastries on Chen Zhixiu's table, they all came over to inquire.

Chen Zhixiu's price wasn't high, only five coins each, just enough to cover the cost of materials.

Soon, the snacks were almost all sold out.

Of course, the response was excellent, which made Chen Zhixiu very happy.

"Mom, don't worry, the desserts in the recipe will definitely be delicious!"

Chen Zhixiu affectionately pinched Xiao Tuantuan's little face: "It's getting late, you should go to the academy."

The market wasn't far from the academy, so the group decided to walk there.

"Here, have some snacks..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a black hand reached out!

Rong Manli acted swiftly, grabbing the black hand directly!

"Second sister-in-law!" Chen Zhixiu looked worriedly at Rong Manli, who was fighting with a dirty beggar.

While fighting Rong Manli, the beggar quickly ate the snacks he had snatched!

"You!" Rong Manli's eyes turned cold as she realized she was at a disadvantage.

"Please forgive me, heroine! I was just too hungry!"

The beggar rolled away, creating distance between himself and Rong Manli, and quickly came to Chen Zhixiu's side.

Chen Zhixiu was startled, and Xiao Tuantuan and the other two blocked her way.

"You've already eaten our snacks, you can't hurt my mother!" Xiao Tuantuan looked at the person in front of her warily.

Her soft tone lacked any imposing manner.

Xiao Tuantuan looked around. They had taken a shortcut to get there faster. It was a small alley, and there wasn't a soul in sight.

The beggar quickly waved his hands, "I'm not a bad person, I'm just too hungry. Thank you for the snacks." As he spoke, he brushed his hair aside, revealing his pearly white teeth, "See, I'm a good person!"

Looking at the beggar with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but who was filthy, Xiao Tuantuan slowly said, "Bad people would never admit that they are bad people."

"You little rascal," Rong Ping said helplessly, glancing at Chen Zhixiu, "Madam, please leave your address. Once I find my family, I'll give you the money..."

Rong Ping was stunned.

Chen Zhixiu quickly waved her hand, blushing, and said, "It's just a few pastries, we'll be going now."

Rong Ping's pupils suddenly contracted; he... he thought he saw Miss!
