Since Qiao Yingzhuo went back last time, he really hasn't come to see Qiao Zaoyao again.

Although Li Wenxiang came often, she was always received by Qiao Zaoyao's homeroom teacher.

Li Feifei looked at the woman in front of her: "You are Qiao Zaoyao's mother. This is the first time I have met you in the three years of high school. Before that, I had only heard about you from my classmates."

"I just wanted to come and see her." Li Wenxiang looked somewhat lost.

She could ignore any other teacher, but this teacher was the one who had helped Yao Yao during her most difficult time.

Li Feifei thought for a moment and said, "Qiao Zaoyao is a very outstanding student. She studies very well and is a promising student in our school. I think you two can wait until after her college entrance examination to contact each other. You can talk about it then."

“After all, the child’s future is the most important thing, isn’t it?” she gently suggested. “If the child is distracted during this period and doesn’t get a good score, it will be even harder for you to resolve the issues between you.”

As expected, Li Wenxiang listened to Sun Feifei's words. However, after she left, Sun Feifei sighed: How could the whole thing be summarized by just two unresolved issues?

As for what Li Wenxiang did to Qiao Zaoyao, if it were her, she would never forgive Li Wenxiang in this lifetime. As for Qiao Zaoyao's father, after meeting him once, she completely changed her opinion. It would really be better if he died, as Qiao Zaoyao said.

Qiao Zaoyao was deeply grateful after learning what Sun Feifei had done for her, and promised her teacher that she would get a high score so that she could be proud of her.

After lying in bed that night, Qiao Zaoyao thought to herself that she had endured so many years of hardship and that things would definitely be better after she got into university.

She is very excited. She is confident in her studies, as she has never missed a moment of learning over the years. What excites her is that she can finally leave the Qiao family.

She will go to work and study in other places in the future, and then settle down there.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but cover her face, afraid that she would laugh out loud and her roommates would fall asleep.

She closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep, but no one in the Qiao family was asleep at that moment.

Qiao Nianxi spent a few happy days with her mother outside, and only thought of going home after she had spent all her money.

When she got home, she thought her parents would come up and greet her with concern, just like before.

She had never run away from home for so long before.

"Mom and Dad." Qiao Nianxi went up to hug Li Wenxiang.

Li Wenxiang's attitude was indifferent; she avoided Qiao Nianxi's embrace.

"Mom, why are you so cold to me?" She looked at Li Wenxiang resentfully. "I've been away for so many days, and you haven't called me once. You don't care about me at all."

Li Wenxiang looked at Qiao Nianxi and said, "Aren't you with Li Xuemei? What do I have to worry about if you're with your biological mother?"

"How did you know?" Qiao Nianxi was still young after all. She looked at Li Wenxiang in astonishment, but relying on Li Wenxiang's favor, she turned around and questioned her, "Were you following me?"

As if she had taken the moral high ground, her voice became shrill: "What right do you have to talk to me? I am your adopted daughter. What's wrong with me meeting my own mother?"

"Since you want to be with your biological mother, then move out of my house." Li Wenxiang glanced at her indifferently and pointed to the suitcase in the corner, saying, "I've packed all your things."

“We are mother and daughter, and I have loved you for more than ten years. I have done right by your father. I even treat you better than my own daughter.”

“Now that your biological mother has returned, and you like her so much, I can’t force you to stay. I don’t want to provoke your resentment one day. I’ll buy us an accident insurance policy so that we can die in an accident.”

“You…” Qiao Nianxi’s face turned pale. She hadn’t expected that things would change so drastically in her home after she had only been away for a few days.

Li Wenxiang took out two documents from the coffee table drawer; they were the accident insurance she had found in Qiao Nianxi's bedroom.

Li Wenxiang sneered: "If I hadn't gone to look through it, I wouldn't have known that you were the real ungrateful wretch in the family."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Qiao Yingzhuo, who immediately understood what she meant. He took out an envelope from his pocket: "This is your last month's living expenses. I've already paid for your car outside. Go find your mother."

"Dad!" Qiao Nianxi didn't want to leave at all. The Qiao family's life was much better than outside, and she didn't want to leave.

Even though she likes her mother, Li Xuemei, Li Xuemei doesn't have a proper job right now. She came back because Li Xuemei asked her to get some money for her to spend.

Qiao Yingzhuo ignored Qiao Nianxi: "Your mother knows about your father's death. She's only letting it go because of the years you and your mother have been together."

“But if you continue to stay here, she might come after you someday for what you and Li Xuemei did.”

Seeing that Qiao Nianxi's face was pale, Qiao Yingzhuo placed the suitcase in her hand and said softly, "Let's go."

After getting into the car, Qiao Nianxi immediately called Li Xuemei and told her the whole story. Li Xuemei was also feeling guilty.

Li Wenxiang's younger brother's death years ago was indeed partly her fault, and now Li Wenxiang knows it. Li Xuemei also understands her personality, so she can only grit her teeth and let Qiao Nianxi come back to her side.

Qiao Nianxi carried her suitcase to Li Xuemei's rented room.

She was a bit picky; the house didn't have good lighting, and the small rooms weren't even as big as her study.

"Mom, how can I live in such a small place? Why don't you move to a bigger house?" Qiao Nianxi said to Li Xuemei.

Li Xuemei sneered: "Don't big houses cost money? This house is rented with my money. How did your adoptive parents kick you out? Does that mean their money belongs to that little bitch Qiao Zaoyao?"

Qiao Nianxi was somewhat worried: "The insurance policy we bought for them before has also been found."

"Why didn't you hide it properly? Your dead father is just as useless." Li Xuemei knew that this matter couldn't be blown out of proportion for the time being.

Qiao Nianxi pursed her lips. Having lived with Li Xuemei for a while, she knew what kind of person this mother was. Today was only the first day she was kicked out, and she had already shown such a face.

She touched her pocket; there was still the last five thousand yuan Qiao Yingzhuo had given her. She thought about it and decided to keep the money for herself. If it was in Li Xuemei's hands, it would be spent in less than a day.

She reluctantly put the clothes into the cramped second bedroom, which had only one north-facing window. The weather was getting warmer, and there was no air conditioning.

"Mom, there's no air conditioning in this room, how am I supposed to sleep?"

She shouted in dissatisfaction.

Li Xuemei scoffed: "If you can't stand it, go back to the Qiao family. I don't have any extra air conditioners here."

Qiao Nianxi: ...

She felt a chill in her heart. At this moment, she really wanted to go back to the Qiao family, but she sensed that the Qiao family truly didn't want her anymore.
