Born weak, Nan Qiao lived in trepidation for 20 years but still couldn't make it past her twenties.
Later, a system claiming to be a "face-con" (someone obsessed with beauty) save...
Chapter 108 Xu Mengran Extra (Update 1)
Christmas is here. Walking on the path, the houses on both sides are decorated with Christmas trees and various colorful lights, twinkling. The atmosphere of the New Year celebration in this foreign country is very joyous and lively.
Xu Mengran looked at him expressionlessly for a while, then turned around and went back to her room.
The three-story Western-style house has an independent courtyard and vines wrapped around the fence outside. Even though she was sent abroad, her living conditions are still good.
The room was warm with a fireplace, so she took off her snow-soaked coat and ate the dinner the nurse had prepared.
The dinner was sumptuous, with tender steak, delicious pasta, and a sweet cake shaped like a Christmas tree... But Xu Mengran looked at the empty restaurant and found it difficult to eat.
She quickly put down her knife and fork, wiped her mouth, and went back to her room.
The room had floor-to-ceiling windows. As the sky darkened, snow began to fall again. Xu Mengran, clutching a few bottles of beer, stared blankly out the window.
Before going abroad, she was considered a good girl by everyone and had never drunk alcohol. But after arriving abroad, she quickly learned to drink.
After a few drinks, my eyes became hazy due to the intoxication and half closed...
Her biological father was not a good person. He was greedy for money and a gambler. Not long after she was born, he gambled away all the family's wealth.
Her mother was not a good-tempered person. Seeing that her husband had ruined the family, she quickly divorced her father and married into the Xu family.
She knew that perhaps in the eyes of others, her mother was an extremely tactless and aggressive woman, but in her eyes, she was the best mother.
He doted on her and loved her, and even after she married into the Xu family and her younger brother was born, he still protected her.
As a burden who followed her mother into a wealthy family, she had learned to read people's expressions since she was a child and knew that it was her nominal grandfather who held power in the Xu family at that time.
She acted like a spoiled child, and begged for favor. Taking advantage of her young age, she tried everything. Even the uncles and aunts who didn't care about him were somewhat doting on him.
But this grandfather who holds the power in the Xu family still looks down on her and her mother.
Later, after the incident of falling into the water, grandpa seemed to feel a little pity for her, the poor little girl who was pushed into the lake.
Because of this pity, her status in the Xu family rose rapidly. After Xu Mo, the only granddaughter of the Xu family, got married, she became the only and most beloved granddaughter of the Xu family.
My mother gradually lost her old manners, and her every move became more elegant, like a true lady...
She had been the center of attention for nearly ten years, but she still felt uneasy.
She subtly tried to please everyone in the Xu family, and became a couple with Wei Ke simply because he was Xu Huizhou's best childhood friend.
She maintained her position bit by bit, fearing that if she was not careful, she would lose everything she had now.
When she knew Nan Qiao was coming back, she admitted that she panicked and casually mentioned the incident in front of her boyfriend, knowing that he would definitely talk about it in front of Xu Huizhou...
The vague words, the occasional grievance in his eyes, and the "fever" he had the night before he returned to the Xu family...
She thought this was enough for her to completely trample the person under her feet.
In fact, it is indeed...
...if the other person didn't look like that.
The drunk girl had bitterness in her eyes.
How come she looks like that?
As soon as he appeared, he attracted everyone's attention.
The love that she had spent so many years and countless efforts to obtain was now within the other person's reach in the blink of an eye.
Even the eldest grandson of the Xu family, who was so high and mighty and had never taken her seriously, doted on her...
Thinking of this, and remembering the news her mother had told her not long ago, the girl, sitting with her knees hugged, sneered sarcastically.
No wonder Xu Congnan protected her so much, it turned out he had that in mind...
Tears flowed from the corners of her eyes unconsciously. The girl bit her lower lip tightly with her upper teeth, closed her eyes, and hugged herself with her hands.
The room was heated enough, but she still felt very cold...
Did that little girl, who was only six years old, live like this back then?
The author has something to say:
