Lan Yao, who had no interest in watching the commotion, stopped in her tracks and raised an eyebrow when she heard the voice.
The jade Pixiu asked with some confusion, "What's wrong, Master? Why did you suddenly stop? Weren't you going to look at the seafood?"
Although there's quite a bit of seafood in the owner's space, it doesn't stop the owner from collecting it.
The jade Pixiu vaguely sensed that its owner might have some collecting tendencies.
Moreover, after drawing most of Lan Jiaojiao's luck, her fortune also improved significantly.
Lan Yao gently rubbed her right index finger and thumb, and asked meaningfully, "I just suddenly marveled at the wonder of this world."
The two adorable creatures, the jade Pixiu and the jade abacus, had absolutely no idea what their owner was saying.
Lan Yao didn't hide anything: "Didn't you guys notice?"
The jade pixiu, not understanding, asked, "What did you hear?"
To be honest, it didn't understand at all.
Yu Suanpan: "...I'm a little unsure, it seems quite familiar."
Lan Yao pointed it out directly: "It seems to be my stepmother."
As she spoke, she gradually moved to the outer edge of the bustling crowd.
She's quite tall, almost 1.8 meters, with long legs and good eyesight.
Even from the outside of the crowd, you can clearly see what's happening inside those surrounded by people.
At this moment, Xu Yingxue was lying on the ground covered in injuries. Beside her was a particularly frail little girl who was struggling to crawl toward her, trying to get closer to her mother.
But Xu Yingxue only felt disgust. She said to the little girl with disgust, "Get out, get out of here."
The man standing not far from her was furious when he heard this, but there were many people watching them.
The man forcibly suppressed his anger and coldly said to Xu Yingxue, "Stop making a scene. I only said a few words to you, why are you getting angry with me? I know I was wrong, okay?"
Xu Yingxue didn't even look at him, only sneered: "I'm not making a fuss! I'm not your wife at all. You tricked me into coming here. I have a husband and children, how could I be with you?"
Xu Yingxue is telling the truth.
Back then, they went to Shenzhen separately, intending to travel to the port city one after the other.
Unfortunately, the train suddenly stopped halfway through the journey for some unknown reason.
Xu Yingxue and the Lan family pretended not to know each other and hid in the crowd, staying at the place where they were forced to stop for several days.
Then, during those few days, Xu Yingxue met a middle-aged woman with a child.
The little girl nestled in the middle-aged woman's arms looks quite like Lan Jiaojiao when she was a child.
Perhaps it was the sight of the object that brought back memories, but she, who usually had little sympathy for outsiders, actually felt a pang of compassion.
When the woman tried to strike up a conversation with her again, Xu Yingxue would reply with a few words depending on her mood.
She waited until she arrived at Shenzhen Railway Station, but before she could even think about how to meet up with him...
She was forcibly dragged away by several men who came to pick up the middle-aged woman, and no one believed her even when she cried for help.
Because one of the men, a burly-looking fellow, told outsiders that she was his wife.
She married into the family from another place. After arguing with her husband, she got angry and wanted to run back to her parents' home.
Hearing the man's words, those around him who had been itching to help gave up on that idea.
After all, there's a saying that goes, "Family affairs are difficult to manage."
These outsiders aren't honest officials, and besides, even honest officials have difficulty managing family affairs.
So those people just let the men drag her away.
Xu Yingxue immediately realized that she might have encountered a kidnapper.
She grew up in a wealthy family and was a true heiress.
Apart from the slight hardship she endured when she traveled abroad at a young age due to air travel, she has never suffered even the slightest hardship since.
Even though it was her first marriage, and she had been married for many years, she only had one daughter, and her husband's family had never given her a hard time.
The reason she divorced her ex-husband was because he was unreliable and had an affair behind her back, which she couldn't stand, so she got divorced.
Then, she quickly remarried.
Her second marriage was simply her shining moment. She had a happy life, with children, money, and a comfortable life. Her husband doted on her, and the two were as loving as ever, making her even more beautiful.
If it weren't for the later incident of the daughter being switched, she probably would never have had any worries in her life.
But……
Things started when the daughters were switched; her whole life seemed to go wrong from that moment on.
Xu Yingxue had a vague feeling that her life shouldn't have turned out this way, but in fact, her life was beginning to change dramatically without her noticing.
She couldn't stand it, she absolutely couldn't stand it.
For some reason, Xu Yingxue thought of her daughter who had been switched at birth and sent to the mountains.
She stood there, emaciated, her eyes pleading as she looked at her…
She turned her head slightly, and her gaze fell outside. For some reason, through the layers of people, she seemed to see her switched daughter.
Hearing the woman's words, the man was furious. He took a deep breath, pulled Xu Yingxue up, and whispered in her ear through gritted teeth, "I advise you to stop making trouble and just live a good life with me, and give me two more sons."
Otherwise, I'll sell you somewhere else.
Xu Yingxue chuckled coldly: "...Fine. I don't want to live anymore either."
Just then, the little girl who had been lying on the ground stood up, hugged Xu Yingxue's leg, and cried, "Mommy, Mommy, let's go home, let's go home."
Xu Yingxue was a cold-blooded person to begin with. Back then, she didn't want to see her daughter because she was ugly, ignorant, and illiterate, which made her feel ashamed.
Not to mention a child she was forced to give birth to.
Xu Yingxue raised her foot and gave the little girl a light kick, not because she was reluctant, but simply because she didn't have the strength.
Xu Yingxue's action successfully enraged the man, who then forcibly grabbed her and dragged her outside.
Some women in the crowd, unable to bear Xu Yingxue's ordeal, angrily advised, "I told you to be gentle. How can you treat your daughter-in-law like that?"
"That's right. Couples fight and make up before they get out of bed. How can you be so violent?"
"That's right, you should go back and treat your wife better. You can't do this."
The man smiled and replied perfunctorily, "I know. I know. This is the wife I finally found; how could I possibly treat her badly?"
Before they knew it, the two of them found Lan Yao's side. Then, Xu Yingxue, not knowing where she got the strength, suddenly broke free from the man's restraints, ran to Lan Yao, and pleaded with her, choking back tears.
"Please, please save me."
Lan Yao: ...
No, she just came to watch the fun.
