Xue Li'er felt increasingly cold-hearted as she listened to Zhang Man constantly making excuses for herself and Xue Yi.
It had been like this since she was little. As long as Xue Yi wanted to do something, Zhang Man would nod and agree, no matter how wrong it was.
Zhang Man was very beautiful when she was young, and Xue Li'er inherited Zhang Man's beauty.
When she first married into the Xue family, Zhang Man was looked down upon by the family because of her ordinary family background.
Later, she became ill after giving birth to Xue Li'er and could no longer bear a son for the Xue family, which made Xue Li'er's grandmother very unhappy. In addition, as she grew older, her beauty gradually faded, and even her husband, who used to care about her very much, began to dislike her.
Xue Li'er grew up in such a family environment.
Her father was incompetent and selfish, her mother was timid and cowardly, and her grandmother was strong-willed and patriarchal. Although she was born into a wealthy family, she did not receive any warmth.
Since Xue Li'er was born, the Xue family's business has been getting worse and worse. Xue Yi blames all this on the young Xue Li'er, thinking she is a jinx.
Later, when Xue Li'er grew up and became a beautiful lady, Xue Yi suddenly realized that he could use his daughter to rebuild the Xue family's glory, so he began to arrange Xue Li'er's life again.
A large part of Xue Li'er's current situation is caused by Xue Yi.
"Mom!" Xue Li'er interrupted Zhang Man and asked, "When will my dad come back?"
Zhang Man was interrupted by Xue Li'er's sudden words. After a moment's hesitation, she said, "Maybe... maybe he'll be back soon. Your dad's been out socializing a lot lately. I don't know where he's been, and he never tells me..."
"Call him," Xue Li'er said, "and tell him I'm waiting for him at home."
Seeing Xue Li'er's unhappy expression, Zhang Man reluctantly picked up her phone and called Xue Yi.
As soon as the call was connected, Xue Yi's scolding came from the other end of the phone. From the sound of his voice, Xue Lier knew that he must have been drunk.
Zhang Man waited until Xue Yi had finished scolding her before carefully telling him that Xue Li'er was back.
As soon as Xue Li'er's name was mentioned, the other end of the phone suddenly became quiet.
I don't know what Xue Yi said to Zhang Man. Zhang Man responded a few times and then hung up the phone.
"Your father told you to wait for him in the living room and he'll be back soon."
Xue Li'er nodded and went downstairs with Zhang Man.
The Xue family is still the same as before, the house is so big that there is no warmth at all.
Xue Li'er and Zhang Man sat together in the living room on the first floor waiting for Xue Yi to come back.
During this time, Zhang Man had forgotten that she and Xue Li'er were mother and daughter, and she just watched Xue Li'er nervously, afraid that they would get into a fight and accidentally hurt her.
After waiting for more than half an hour, the door of the villa opened and Xue Yi walked in with an angry look on his face.
"What are you doing back?" Xue Yi asked as soon as he entered the room. "Do you want to kill me and your mother?"
Xue Lier got the hint from Xue Yi's words and looked at him with a sneer.
"It seems you know Rashid's identity, right?" Xue Li'er said, "You really are a good pair of parents. You actually accepted the man who kidnapped your daughter as your son-in-law!"
"Can we be blamed for this?" Xue Yi shouted. "Who made you offend someone and get kidnapped? Luckily, your mother gave you a pretty face, otherwise you would have been sold to who knows where long ago, and would never have had the good fortune to be Rashid's wife."
