As for Guan Zherui...

When she first got married, she was quite patient with Xia Jianing. She held Xia Jianing's hand and told Xia Guokang that she would treat Xia Jianing as her own daughter.

At that time, Xia Jianing just sneered and slapped her hand away, calling her hypocritical.

She didn't get angry after hearing that. Instead, she cooked delicious food for Xia Jianing in different ways and used the limited supplies to prepare three meals a day for Xia Jianing.

After a long time, Xia Jianing was also touched.

Just when she was about to let go of her prejudice and accept that Guan Zherui had become a member of the family, something unexpected happened again.

Guan Zherui gave birth to a son for Xia Guokang.

Xia Guokang was overjoyed and named his son Xia Zicheng.

From then on, Guan Zherui's attitude towards Xia Jianing changed.

She began to order Xia Jianing to do things from time to time, asking her to do laundry, mop the floor, and heat milk and wash diapers for Xia Zicheng.

Xia Jianing disagreed, so Guan Zherui secretly made things difficult for Xia Jianing.

Xia Guokang didn't go home for lunch, so Guan Zherui only made rice for himself when she made lunch.

As for lunch for Xia Jianing...she simply crushed the scarce rice and sand vine biscuits into a paste and gave it to Xia Jianing.

Xia Jianing was so angry that she went to Xia Guokang, hoping that Xia Guokang could stand up for her.

But Xia Guokang blamed her for being ignorant, saying that she didn't understand how difficult it was for her parents. He also said that now that the family had a younger brother, they needed to save money, and asked her to save some.

With Xia Guokang's support, Guan Zherui became more and more fearless and even refused to let Xia Jianing have lunch.

When it's night time and Xia Jianing is starving, she will eat like crazy, and Guan Zherui will also make sarcastic remarks to Xia Guokang about her eating too much.

Every time Xia Jianing wanted to refute, Xia Guokang would look at her with disdainful eyes and say that she was spoiled.

Xia Jianing couldn't stand her father's longing look, so she could only swallow her anger with tears in her eyes.

Xia Jianing lived like this for several months, until a few days ago, when Xia Guokang's colleagues from the unit came to visit her home.

The colleague joked to Xia Guokang that he named his child Xia Zicheng, maybe he wanted to say that there was finally someone to inherit the family business?

Xia Jianing stood quietly at the door and listened. He heard Xia Guokang answer to his colleague: "Yes."

Xia Guokang also said that Xia Zicheng was his only son, and he lamented that he had endured all these years and now finally had a child.

Xia Jianing was struck by lightning.

She didn't expect Xia Guokang to think this way.

Then what am I in Xia Guokang's heart?

Could it be that all the love my father had shown me over the years was just a disguise?

Xia Jianing immediately broke down and jumped out and had a big fight with Xia Guokang.

However, Xia Guokang felt that Xia Jianing had made him lose face in front of his colleagues, so he raised his hand and slapped Xia Jianing hard, telling her to go back to her room.

Xia Jianing felt a burning pain on her face, but her heart hurt even more than her face.

The next day she left a note saying she was going to run away from home.

But she didn't expect that she would be kidnapped and taken to Changdao Hotel as soon as she left the community...

Thinking of this, Xia Jianing covered herself with the quilt and couldn't help crying.

She didn't cry so sadly even when she was kidnapped by the kidnappers.

She sobbed and whispered, "Mom... please save me, everyone is bullying me now..."

At this time, under the night sky, Xia Shige also drove to the vicinity of Changdao Hotel.
