Instant noodles were previously considered junk food, but in a natural disaster, they were hard to come by. It had been so long since Xia Jianing had tasted this delicacy that she drank up all the soup.
Seeing Xia Jianing so hungry, Xia Shige couldn't help but frown and asked, "...Did you run away from home again?"
Xia Shige still remembered that Xia Jianing had once run away from home, and then she was caught by Zhao Huifeng's men and taken to Changdao Hotel, where she almost lost her life. Could it be that she didn't learn her lesson and ran away from home again?
——This is not a good habit!
Unexpectedly, Xia Jianing shook her head when she heard this. She lowered her head and replied in a low voice: "...I...I was kicked out by my father..."
"What? How is that possible!" Xia Shige was shocked when he heard this and blurted out, "What on earth happened?!"
Xia Shige really couldn't imagine what happened to them. Xia Jianing was raised in the palm of Xia Guokang's hand. Xia Guokang loved Xia Jianing so much. Even if he had a son now, why would he go to the extent of kicking his daughter out of the house?
Xia Jianing's eyes were filled with grievance, unwillingness, and resentment. She lowered her head and whispered, "My dad...he adopted a little boy as his adopted son a few days ago. That kid is a monster! He and Guan Zherui bully me every day!"
"...My father is partial to me. Every time they bully me, he would scold me for being ignorant. Yesterday morning, I had a quarrel with him because of that adopted son. He beat me up and told me to get out..."
At this point, Xia Jianing seemed unable to bear it any longer. She raised her hands to cover her face and started to sob.
After hearing what Xia Jianing said, Xia Shige, grandma and Sun Yuegui looked at each other in surprise - adopted a little boy?
Xia Guokang already has a son, so why does he want to adopt one?
Xia Shige said to Xia Jianing, "Don't cry first. Where did that child come from? Why did your father adopt him? Explain it clearly."
After hearing this, Xia Jianing managed to calm down and told the whole story...
A few days ago, Guan Zherui received bad news. The police informed her that her sister Guan Zhering had died, along with her mother, niece, and her sister's boyfriend.
The specific cause of death is unknown, but the police inferred that it was a fratricide caused by lack of supplies. The four victims all had knife wounds, and only the fingerprints of Guan Zheling and Zhang Fu were found on the murder weapon.
Among the five people, only Guan Zheling's son Teng Hao survived.
Since he had no other immediate family members, Teng Hao was taken back home by Guan Zherui.
The death of her relatives was a great blow to Guan Zherui. She hugged her nephew Teng Hao and cried so hard that she even fainted several times.
In order to comfort Guan Zherui, Xia Guokang agreed to adopt Teng Hao as his adopted son and promised to raise him as his own son.
There was inexplicably one more person in the family, and problems immediately arose in the allocation of resources.
Under Guan Zherui's pillow talk, Xia Guokang directly asked Xia Jianing to give the bedroom to Teng Hao and let her move to the living room to sleep.
Of course Xia Jianing disagreed, so Xia Guokang accused her of being ignorant and not knowing how to give way to her younger brother. He even slapped Xia Jianing twice.
Xia Jianing was isolated and helpless and could only give up the room while crying.
However, Xia Jianing's concession did not bring her a peaceful life. Guan Zherui always felt that her ex-wife's children were an eyesore at home, so she would instigate Teng Hao from time to time to ask him to cause trouble for Xia Jianing.
