Ji Xiaoxiao ignored her and answered everything with a faint sneer.

Feeling uneasy at the commotion outside, the older women and Wu Ruo all came out.

"Ah Ning, what brings you here?" Wu Ruo, holding the chubby boy, saw Zhou Ning's eyes were red and she was about to cry. Her heart ached terribly. "Ah Ning, tell me, tell me who bullied you, and I'll get revenge for you."

Wu Ruo approached Zhou Ning, holding the chubby boy in his arms and looking at Zhou Ning with concern. This scene was witnessed by outsiders and the older women, who believed Ji Xiaoxiao's words without a doubt.

The older women were exasperated. The relationship between the elder brother and his widowed sister-in-law was unclear. If word got out, how could the Wu family maintain their standing in X City?

"Wu Ruo, stay away from Zhou Ning." Wu Ruo's aunt said loudly, "Zhou Ning, you are Wu Ruo's wife, Wu Ruo is Wu Ruo's brother, and you are Wu Ruo's sister-in-law. Wu Ruo has taken care of you in every way because you are an orphan and a widow and your life is not easy, but you should also pay attention to your daily interactions to avoid others gossiping."

Zhou Ning glanced around discreetly; the people around her were looking at her with disdain and contempt.

"This is bad," Zhou Ning thought to herself, and then separated from Wu Ruo.

"Jianzhi, come to Mommy." Zhou Ning opened her arms.

Wu Jianzhi turned his head away, "No, I want to be with Dad."

Wow!

The crowd was stunned and speechless.

It's true, it's true.

Zhou Ning was terrified. What nonsense was this brat spouting? Wasn't he just pushing them into a quagmire?

Ji Xiaoxiao stood aside with a cold laugh. She'd wasted one of her [Word Orders], but gained so much that she didn't bother with the matter. She didn't participate in what happened afterward, mainly because there were children around, and it wasn't appropriate for them to be exposed to the filth and darkness between adults so early.

Ji Xiaoxiao took Wu Kangzhi back to the original owner's parents' home.

The old wooden door creaked, making a strange sound.

The furnishings inside were covered with white cloths, which were covered with dust, indicating that the original owner had never returned to this place since the passing of both parents, and was no longer reminded of the past.

"Mom, it's so dirty," Wu Kangzhi said with disgust.

Ji Xiaoxiao rubbed Wu Kangzhi's fluffy little head. "Mommy needs to clean the room. Kang Kang, please wait here obediently for Mommy, okay?"

“Okay,” Wu Kangzhi readily agreed.

The house was so dirty that by the time Ji Xiaoxiao had tidied up a room, Wu Kangzhi was already fast asleep on his suitcase. He was curled up with his fists clenched in front of his chest, a sign of restlessness in his sleep.

"Mom's here, so don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

The spell took effect, and Wu Kangzhi's furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

Ji Xiaoxiao sighed, gently picked up Wu Kangzhi and put him to bed. Ji Xiaoxiao then took a cold shower and waited for her hair to dry before going to bed with Wu Kangzhi.

The mother and son slept soundly until dawn.

"Mommy, get up, Mommy, get up, Kang Kang is hungry." Wu Kangzhi pinched Ji Xiaoxiao's nose, and Ji Xiaoxiao reluctantly opened her eyes.

After brushing her teeth and washing her face, Ji Xiaoxiao didn't plan to cook and took Wu Kangzhi out to eat.

This is a street where the original owner grew up. The neighbors remember the person named "Su Tang".

"Tangtang, you're back?"

"Yes, Aunt Zhao."

"Tangtang, why are you back? Where's Wu Ruo?"

"We got divorced, and that's why I'm back," Ji Xiaoxiao said calmly, delivering the shocking news.

The neighbors looked astonished, but didn't say anything more.

After finishing her breakfast, Ji Xiaoxiao walked past the Wu family's ancestral home without glancing at it.

"Hey, Tangtang, wait a minute."

An aged man's voice came from outside the Wu family ancestral home. Only a handful of people lived there. Ji Xiaoxiao turned around and saw that it was indeed Wu Ruo's father, Wu Wentao.

"Tangtang, I heard from Aunt Zhao next door that you and Wu Ruo got divorced?" Wu Wentao watched Su Tang grow up. Su Tang was a well-behaved and quiet girl who was filial to her elders. She was a rare and excellent daughter-in-law. Wu Wentao was very satisfied with Su Tang.

Ji Xiaoxiao held Wu Kangzhi's hand and said, "Yes, we just completed the formalities yesterday."

"Why?" Wu Wentao asked, puzzled.

Su Tang and her son had a great relationship, which was obvious to all the elders. This model couple got divorced. Did something terrible happen?

Ji Xiaoxiao curled her lips and said, "Uncle Wu, sometimes you should pay more attention to the relationship between your eldest son and second daughter-in-law, otherwise you will make a fool of yourself sooner or later."

"Tangtang, what do you mean by that?"

Ji Xiaoxiao said frankly, "Yesterday, Wu Jianzhi called Wu Ruo 'Dad'."

The simple narration shocked Wu Wentao so much that he stopped breathing.

The adults sitting in the living room remained unmoved as always.

Ji Xiaoxiao rushed over and tightly gripped the chubby boy's wrist.

“Mom.” Wu Kangzhi stood behind Ji Xiaoxiao.

Ji Xiaoxiao had no sense of shame. She grabbed the chubby boy, pulled down his pants, and slapped him several times. The chubby boy was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears, crying so hard he could barely breathe, as if Wu Kangzhi had stolen his favorite cake.

"Su Tang, you're asking for death!" Wu Ruo glared angrily, her anger raging. This was her mortal enemy, the one who had killed her father and stolen her wife, standing before her, and she wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.

Ji Xiaoxiao was slightly puzzled. The chubby boy was Wu Ru's biological son, and Wu Ru's biological nephew. But people are divided by kinship. Her lovely Kang Kang was his biological son, wasn't he? On the other hand, Ji Xiaoxiao saw no trace of Wu Ru's cold indifference towards Wu Kang, nor his hard work and dedication as a father in raising and educating his son.
