Chapter 2

Xu Wang's unusual behavior stunned everyone in the living room.

It's important to know that although the young master was in a bad mood after the car accident that damaged his leg, he was still the same polite child who would never scold others no matter how upset he was.

This was the first time he had ever been so rude to someone.

The girl was visiting our home for the first time, and she had to face her son's cold attitude. Fu Zhaoya was a little embarrassed and said, "Xiao Wang, how could you do this? It's my sister's first time visiting our home. Don't scare her."

Xu Wang realized that his attitude was a bit too harsh, but he still insisted on his idea and said to Fu Zhaoya, "Mom, I don't like her. Can we please not let her come to our house?"

How could he possibly let this woman come to their house again? Just thinking about how his brother died because of this woman in his previous life, and how this woman was so carefree, using his brother's money to fool around with other men abroad, filled Xu Wang with intense hatred.

Unfortunately, his career was still in its early stages, and his leg had not been healed. He simply did not have the ability to take revenge on this woman. However, when he woke up in the middle of the night, whenever he recalled the tragic death of his brother, he felt hatred and wished he could tear this woman to pieces.

Unexpectedly, she suddenly found herself back in her past life, back to a time before she even came to the Xu family. She had thought she would come back in two years, since her brother was studying abroad and hadn't returned at all, giving him plenty of time to prepare. But this woman had arrived at the Xu family ahead of schedule.

In just over a month, my brother will be on summer vacation. If he were to see her again and bewitch him once more, then his rebirth would seem to have been meaningless.

No, he will never let such a thing happen again. He will never let his brother be harmed by this woman again. He will definitely kick this woman out of his house before his brother comes back.

Although she arrived two years earlier than before, she was still as cunning as in her previous life. Sure enough, the moment she entered, she had her mother completely charmed, and the mother gave her the bracelet in her hand.

She even asked her mother to speak up for her.

His mother is a naive and innocent girl, and his brother inherited her personality, which is why he is so easily fooled.

Or perhaps, it was because the people in their family were too kind that this scheming woman ultimately caused their family to be destroyed. After the brother's death, the father became despondent, and soon the entire Xu family was swallowed up. The mother also suffered from depression.

Fu Zhaoya never expected that her son would express such strong disgust upon seeing the girl for the first time. She began to regret that she had previously expressed to her son that she preferred girls, which led him to mistakenly believe that with the addition of a girl in the family, he would like others more and not him.

Fu Zhaoya said to her son earnestly, "Xiao Wang, Xiao Yi's father just passed away, so she can only live with her mother in our house."

Xu Wang's expression was cold.

What does her father's death have to do with him? This woman is so scheming and vicious; she might even have killed her own father.

When she first came to their house, she seemed so weak and pitiful, but later she stole her mother's cosmetics and jewelry, and even poisoned the family dog.

This woman is a complete green tea b*tch.

Seeing that the young master didn't seem to like her daughter, Lu Qiao felt a little embarrassed and said to Fu Zhaoya, "Um, Madam, how about I take Xiaoyi to rent a place outside?"

Although the salary will be lower if I don't live here and the commute will be a little more troublesome, it's all worth it for my daughter.

Fu Zhaoya was reluctant to let Lu Qiao live outside. If anything happened to her, she would have to call her. It would be more convenient for Lu Qiao to stay here.

She said gently, "Xiao Yi, Xiao Wang may have misunderstood you. Why don't you and your mother go to the back house to rest for a while, and I'll explain to Xiao Wang."

Jiang Yi nodded and said, "Okay."

She naturally didn't know what illness Xu Wang had, but in the original book, the male protagonist recalled that in the first year after his injury, his emotions fluctuated greatly, and he was often unhappy about everything.

So, it's probably because I'm in a bad mood that everything I see seems pleasing.

She was already a grown woman in her twenties in her original world; there was no need for her to argue with a child with a leg disability.

As she spoke, Fu Zhaoya gave Lu Qiao a reassuring look and said, "Go ahead, Xiao Wang is usually very obedient, there must be some misunderstanding."

Seeing that Fu Zhaoya was unwilling to let them stay outside, Lu Qiao smiled helplessly, picked up her luggage, and left with her daughter.

As Jiang Yi passed by Xu Wang, she saw him glare at her fiercely.

Of course, Jiang Yi didn't feel angry or scared; instead, she found it a little funny.

His name, combined with his expression, really makes him look like a small dog with bared teeth and claws, but actually not aggressive at all.

After the mother and daughter left, only the mother and son remained in the living room. Xu Wang looked at his naive and innocent mother and asked, "Mom, can't we really not let them stay in our house?"

Fu Zhaoya shook her head and said, "No, Mom needs Aunt Lu. They living at home is the best choice for Mom."

"But I don't like her at all."

"Can you tell Mom why? Mom remembers that you used to have the best personality. When you saw stray animals, you always wanted to take them home and take good care of them," Fu Zhaoya asked gently and patiently.

"Is it because Mom used to say that she liked girls the most? But Mom was just saying that. Actually, Mom loves you and your brother the most."

Xu Wang looked into his mother's sincere eyes, but couldn't bear to look any longer, so he turned his head away.

He has the best family in the world, the best mother. Although he often complains that his mother is naive and innocent, while other parents never apologize when they make mistakes, his mother sometimes reflects on whether she did something wrong, even when it is not her fault.

After a long pause, Xu Wangcai said stiffly, "It's not because of that. It's just that I really don't like her. I didn't like her at first sight. I don't think she's a good person."

He wanted to explain just how wicked Jiang Yi had been, but he also knew that without concrete evidence, no one would believe him.

Sure enough, his mother didn't take his words seriously, saying, "I've told you before, don't judge a book by its cover."

Although she couldn't understand why such a pretty girl didn't seem like a good person in her son's eyes, Fu Zhaoya still said, "Mom thinks this girl is quite nice. After you get to know her better, you'll also think she's quite nice."

Xu Wang looked somewhat dissatisfied and said, "Mom, don't always assume people are so kind. If you keep doing this, you'll only hurt yourself in the end."

It also harmed our whole family.

Fu Zhaoya trusted her own judgment and didn't take her son's words seriously. Xu Wang, seeing that he couldn't persuade his mother, gripped the armrest of his wheelchair, a sinister glint in his eyes.

No matter what, he was determined to kick that woman out of their house, at any cost.

He recalled that in his past life, his mother's cosmetics mysteriously disappeared in a short period of time, and her jewelry was also lost. Later, he found out that it was done by a housekeeper in the family, and that housekeeper was kicked out.

However, after his brother passed away, he learned from the aunt that it wasn't actually the aunt who did it, but Jiang Yi who framed the aunt.

This time, he'll be more careful and find out that she took his mother's things. Then he can kick her out of the Xu family.

He must kick her out and stop her from harming his brother, he absolutely must!

Jiang Yi had no idea that a boy was planning to find fault with her. She followed her mother to the servants' quarters and stayed in the room next to her mother's.

She was initially worried that the house here would be cramped and narrow, but to her surprise, the Xu family treated the servants very well. The room was much larger than her original house in the village, and she even had her own room. This floor was occupied by the mother and daughter. To prevent conflicts between the servants, the stairs leading down to different floors were different. This floor had everything: a kitchen, a toilet, and a balcony. It was practically like living in a one-apartment-per-floor apartment.

Seeing how good the treatment was here, she felt more hopeful about what the future held.

After Lu Qiao helped her daughter pack her things, she glanced at her daughter who was grinning foolishly beside her. Thinking of the young master's expression, she couldn't help but walk over and tell her daughter, "The young master doesn't seem to like having unfamiliar children in the house, so you should avoid going to the front in the future."

Actually, to consider her daughter's feelings, Lu Qiao spoke very tactfully. It's not that the young master dislikes strangers; he doesn't seem to dislike the children brought by other servants. He only dislikes her daughter. Although she doesn't know why, Lu Qiao is very uneasy, but her mistress won't allow them to move out.

Jiang Yi didn't care at all about the child's tantrum. Hearing her mother's words, she nodded and said, "Okay, Mom, I know. I will be good and won't cause you any trouble."

Seeing her daughter's obedient appearance, Lu Qiao's heart, which had been pounding with anxiety, slowly began to settle down.

However, his brows and eyes were still unconsciously furrowed.

Jiang Yi reached out to smooth out the wrinkles for her. Looking at her only relative in this world, Lu Qiao couldn't help but feel a pang of tenderness in her heart.

Her daughter is so sensible; as long as she listens to her, nothing should go wrong.
