Chapter 53 As a mother, my heart is broken

Xia Ling took Yan Feng's arm and called out cautiously, "A Feng..."

Yan Feng finally withdrew his gaze from Jiang Ciyou.

He looked down at Xia Ling, his voice clearly unhappy: "When did you and Jiang Xiaoxiao become friends?"

Xia Ling knew that Yan Feng hated Jiang Ciyou, but he disliked Jiang Xiaoxiao even more.

Simply don't like it.

Xia Ling quickly explained: "A Feng, actually I came here today for something very important."

After saying that, Xia Ling looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao.

Jiang Xiaoxiao said, "That's right, Brother Yan Feng, today is a big day. Sister Xia Ling and I hit it off right away and feel like we're destined to be together, so I plan to ask my mother to adopt Sister Xia Ling as her goddaughter."

In fact, Jiang Xiaoxiao mentioned this matter to Yao Shulan last night.

But Jiang Xiaoxiao only said that she had a friend with a miserable life experience and wanted her mother to adopt her as her adopted daughter in name only.

But he did not tell Yao Shulan that this person was Xia Ling.

After Jiang Xiaoxiao's repeated persuasion, Yao Shulan finally agreed.

After hearing this news, Jiang Ciyou's face finally became completely gloomy.

Jiang Xiaoxiao really has the ability to disgust her.

But both the Jiang and Yan families knew what Xia Ling had done back then.

She remembered that the Jiang family had betrayed her and taken advantage of her misfortune, which she despised.

Jiang Ciyou knew that although Yao Shulan had a grudge against him.

But that was because of the grudges of the previous generation.

Yao Shulan is not the kind of woman who cannot distinguish right from wrong.

On the contrary, Yao Shulan has loved Jiang Ciyou very much since childhood and taught him carefully. She does all the things in life, big and small, by herself and never asks a nanny to do it for her.

Jiang Ciyou grew up very happily and had a very deep affection for Yao Shulan.

This was also the reason why Jiang Ciyou was unable to accept reality back then.

Yao Shulan is now a completely different person than before.

She remains gentle, loving, and understanding to others.

But he was sarcastic and picky towards Jiang Ciyou.

But from beginning to end, Jiang Ciyou still had a glimmer of fantasy in his heart.

The mother who raised her for twenty years is still her mother.

She hated herself so much and was so disgusted with herself because she had given too much and loved too deeply.

Deep down, she must still love her...

If only she still had any feelings for him, even just a little bit.

She would never adopt Xia Ling as her adopted daughter.

Yan Feng was also surprised.

Because of Xia Ling's intervention, her strict father, mother and old man regarded Xia Ling as a vicious snake.

Even though Xia Ling was pregnant with the Yan family's blood, the Yan family would rather abandon their own descendants than acknowledge Xia Ling.

How could the Jiang family possibly adopt Xia Ling as their goddaughter?

After all, Jiang Ciyou is the daughter they have raised for twenty years.

It's impossible not to consider her feelings at all.

If this is true, it would be too cruel to Jiang Ciyou.

Yan Feng couldn't help but look at Jiang Ciyou.

Suddenly, he found that he was actually worried about her.

Even...feeling sorry for her...

In fact, from Xia Ling's point of view, this is definitely a good thing.

At this time, Jiang Xiaoxiao suddenly walked onto the stage of the banquet hall.

She took the microphone from the emcee.

"Everyone, please be quiet. I'm Jiang Xiaoxiao. Thank you all for coming to my party today. I have something very important to announce..."

Hundreds of people in the banquet hall suddenly fell silent.

Everyone also moved towards the stage.

The person standing on the stage and speaking now is Jiang Xiaoxiao, the real daughter of the Jiang family.

Jiang Xiaoxiao suddenly pulled a girl in a white long dress to the center of the stage.

Then he said, "This is my good sister Xia Ling. She and I have a special bond. On this auspicious day, our Jiang family will adopt her as our adopted daughter. From today on, Sister Xia Ling is also a daughter of our Jiang family. I hope all uncles will take good care of her in the future."

A look of doubt appeared on everyone's face.

Many people were also whispering to each other.

"Whose family is this Miss Xia from? She looks unfamiliar."

"Why did the Jiang family suddenly want to adopt a daughter? Mrs. Jiang is really kind-hearted. She adopted her enemy's daughter as her adopted daughter, and now she has another adopted daughter."

"Adopting a daughter is a happy occasion, but looking at the expressions of Mrs. Jiang and Mr. Jiang, they are even more shocked than us, as if they didn't know about it beforehand."

At this moment, Yao Shulan and Jiang Jinhui were standing on the stage.

Yao Shulan knew it.

Last night, Jiang Xiaoxiao insisted that she adopt a goddaughter, but she refused to tell her who, and only said it was a friend.

Yao Shulan didn't expect that this person was Xia Ling.

How could she not know Xia Ling's name?

Three years ago, Jiang Ciyou cut his wrists because of her.

Jiang Ciyou and Yan Feng were childhood sweethearts, but when they were in college, this Miss Xia suddenly appeared.

Yan Feng was like a demon, bewitched by her to the point of madness.

Although he was forced to marry Ciyou later, he still eloped with her abroad.

In fact, Yao Shulan already knew.

Yan Feng and Jiang Ciyou did not even get a marriage certificate, so it could not be considered a formal marriage.

She didn't like Xia Ling, and she looked down on her methods.

Father Jiang became even angrier and walked straight to Jiang Xiaoxiao's side.

He shouted sternly, "Xiaoxiao, what are you doing?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao said, "Dad, Mom has already agreed."

Jiang Xiaoxiao knew that this matter would definitely not work with Jiang Jinhui, so she acted first and reported to him later.

Fortunately, Yao Shulan would not blame her. Even if she might be a little unhappy, she knew that Yao Shulan would definitely give in to her in the end.

Because Yao Shulan felt guilty towards her.

On the surface, Jiang Jinhui is the head of the family, but in reality, he listens to Yao Shulan in everything.

Jiang Xiaoxiao had already grabbed Yao Shulan's arm.

She pleaded quietly, "Mom, so many people are watching us, just agree. Besides, she's just a nominal adopted daughter, and there's nothing to lose. Mom, this is my birthday wish. As long as you fulfill my wish, I'll listen to you in everything from now on."

Looking at Jiang Xiaoxiao begging, Yao Shulan felt very uncomfortable.

Yao Shulan is a smart woman. How could she not see that the reason why Jiang Xiaoxiao wanted them to adopt Xia Ling as their adopted daughter.

Just want to make Jiang Ciyou uncomfortable?

Over the past three years, she has tried her best to make amends to Jiang Xiaoxiao.

But in her heart, Jiang Xiaoxiao still regarded Jiang Ciyou as her enemy who had taken away everything from her.

This isn't the first time this has happened.

Jiang Ciyou and Yan Feng’s wedding banquet was also held because Jiang Xiaoxiao was unable to attend due to the commotion.

In front of Jiang Xiaoxiao, she had to be rude to Jiang Ciyu in order to make up for the grievances she had suffered over the years.

In fact, she felt bad for Jiang Ciyou as well.

The daughter she had carefully raised for twenty years turned out to be Yin Ruyun's tool for revenge.

She hated him. She hated Yin Ruyun and also took her anger out on Jiang Ciyu.

But after calming down, he clearly realized that Jiang Ciyou was the most innocent.

She cut her wrists.

As a mother, her heart was broken.
