He seemed to know that Xiao Qianwen was behind it all, but because her surname was Xiao, he didn't give her a hard time.

Xiao Qianwen felt frustrated; many things had gone wrong since she returned.

Tang Yaoyao is always very lucky; there's always someone backing her up.

Xiao Qianwen couldn't understand it, and it remained the same after she was released.

Seeing Madam Xiao and Tang Yaoyao getting along happily and harmoniously downstairs made her feel even worse.

Just how many tricks does this woman have up her sleeve?

Xiao Qianwen stormed out of the Xiao family.

Madam Xiao was very considerate of other people's feelings, so she asked, "Sister Qianwen, where are you going?"

"I'm going to get some fresh air. You guys chat whatever you want, just pretend I'm not here."

With that, Xiao Qianwen drove off.

"What did Sister Qianwen do in the study for so long?" Madam Xiao didn't understand and didn't know what she wanted to do.

Tang Yaoyao knew: "Maybe he couldn't stand certain things and wanted to talk to someone about them."

"Why didn't you come to me?" Madam Xiao asked curiously. "Yao'er, I think Sister Qianwen is hiding something from us."

Indeed, many things are just creating trouble out of nothing.

"If Aunt doesn't want to talk about it, then don't ask. It's enough that I'm here with you. Mom doesn't have time to care about others," Tang Yaoyao said.

Madam Xiao smiled and said, "Yes, Yao'er understands me best."

Having been excluded and unable to truly integrate for so long, Xiao Qianwen felt a fire burning inside her.

She discovered that her position had changed in that family; she had to be mindful of Tang Yaoyao's mood at all times.

That feeling of being invisible is very unpleasant.

Returning to the Xiao family this time only brought me more trouble.

She did indeed have some ulterior motives.

Xiao Qianwen was unhappy, so she went to drink.

It just so happens that she has a sister who, knowing she's back, came to find her.

At their age, they can't do the things that young people do, so they can only vent their feelings by drinking.

When her friends arrived, they were dressed in flamboyant attire. They were in their forties or fifties, with long, wavy blonde hair and glamorous makeup, looking exactly like they were there to attract attention.

Xiao Qianwen spotted her immediately; she was wearing a strapless dress, and despite her already plump figure, she deliberately dressed like a twenty-year-old girl.

Refusing to accept getting old.

Xiao Qianwen is quite pretty, definitely much prettier than this girl, but she doesn't deliberately dress to look younger.

She wanted an intellectual image, one that made her stand out as a strong, assertive woman.

"Qianwen, what's bothering you? You look so pale," the blonde woman asked, her face flushed.

Xiao Qianwen said, "Don't mention it. It's the same old story. Xiao Jinhan brought back a new wife, and Zhenqiao has decided that she's the right wife. The whole family likes her. I just don't know what her good points are or whether she's worth marrying."

"Oh, about that? I remember you mentioned before that you wanted to introduce one of your husband's nieces or grandnieces to Xiao Jinhan, saying that it's good to keep things in the family. If you successfully match them up, you'll be the matchmaker, and their whole family will treat you with utmost respect."

This girl understands her thoughts.

Nothing could be more important than wanting to have a presence in the Xiao family.

In such a large family, only Xiao Zhenqiao's branch held a high position.

As a result, many relatives were trying to curry favor with Xiao Zhenqiao.

Xiao Zhenqiao would also often help him out.

He has only gotten to where he is today thanks to his good fortune.

If you can get a powerful backer, you'll definitely want to cling to them.

But she was different; she wanted more.

It was already a great effort for them to be associated with Xiao Zhenqiao and to be able to live in the Xiao family.
