Chapter 219: With a Stepmother, There is a Stepfather
"What!" Li Qingqing stood up suddenly, and her face changed immediately.
Disfigured!
She frowned and said with determination: "Master Jiang, can you sell me an amulet?"
Putting their past aside, Tong Xia is going to participate in an idol audition. Her most beautiful face is hers. What if it gets disfigured?
Since Jiang Xu spoke, it showed that he was willing to help. He took out two amulets and handed them to Li Qingqing.
Li Qingqing nodded, stood up and went to find Tong Xia.
However, the clerk told him that Tong Xia had finished his shift and went home.
"But she usually goes to dance practice. She's next door. If you want to find her, you can go there."
Li Qingqing walked into the dance studio next door. Tong Xia had just changed her clothes and when she saw her, her body stiffened instantly and she stood there in a daze.
Tong Xia: "You..."
Li Qingqing: "You..."
Li Qingqing: "If your forehead turns black, you will suffer a bloody disaster. Keep this amulet safe!"
Li Qingqing finished speaking quickly, and seeing her stunned face, she added dryly, "Don't lose it, understand!"
"Oh." Tong Xia nodded. Just as she was about to say something, she felt a burning sensation in her palm. She shrank subconsciously and took a few steps back.
"Bang--"
The overhead lamp fell straight down and hit the ground.
Tong Xia was stunned for a moment, then opened his hand to look at the talisman paper. It had already burned to ashes.
They had seen on TV that a piece of talisman paper would burn to ashes if it could ward off disaster. She had only read it as a story before, but she never expected that she would actually be able to experience such a magical thing in person.
"Are you okay?" She came to her senses, looked up and asked Li Qingqing nervously.
Li Qingqing looked at the amulet in her hand with the same amazement, and said proudly, "It's worthy of being Master Jiang's talisman paper. It's amazing!"
"I'm fine, how about you?"
Tong Xia shook her head and looked into her eyes seriously: "Li Qingqing, thank you."
If it weren't for Li Qingqing's talisman paper, the lamp would probably have hit her head.
Although it is not a large chandelier, if it hits me, I will probably get hurt and bleed.
Li Qingqing waved her hand: "No need to thank me, thank Master Jiang if you want to thank someone."
The two went to the cake shop together. Tong Xia then saw Jiang Xu and quickly thanked him.
When she saw that it was Li Qingqing and the others, she was so embarrassed that she didn't even dare to raise her head.
Pei Yiyi: "Then, can you tell us why you threw all of Li Qingqing's gifts into the trash?"
Tong Xia took a deep breath and said to Li Qingqing, "I'm sorry, but I didn't know about that. It was the nanny who did it."
At that time, my father remarried and my stepmother moved into the villa with my stepsister.
Her stepsister fell in love with the room she was living in at the time. She was attending cram school at that time and no one notified her. When she returned home, she found that all her things had been moved away.
It was said that my stepsister had very sensitive skin and respiratory tract and was allergic to those doll toys, so they were all thrown away.
Pei Yiyi and others: ...? ?
Just because of this?
They all knew Tong Xia's stepsister, but she was a few years younger than them, so they didn't often play together and only met occasionally.
She looks like a sweet girl, but I didn’t expect that she is such a domineering person?
As soon as he entered the house, he ransacked his sister's room and threw away her toys.
Is this intentional or deliberate?
Is it a show of force? Or is it a show of force?
Pei Yiyi finally understood why Tong Xia, a grown-up girl after all, came to work in this cake shop.
It must be related to those mother and daughter.
Li Qingqing had never expected that the reason behind the matter that she was so upset about was actually like this: "You, why don't you come and explain it to me?"
Tong Xia whispered: "You were the first to break up with me."
Li Qingqing's cheeks twitched: "Isn't that why I thought you threw away my gift?"
Li Qingqing: "..."
Everyone:"……"
If only one of them had spoken up, they wouldn't have broken up after so many years, right?
Jiang Xu: "Not only that, Tong Yao must have deliberately had the nanny throw those gifts into the trash can, so that Li Qingqing would see them and sow discord between you two."
Let Tong Xia be isolated.
"Also, the disaster you encountered today is also related to your stepsister."
Everyone gasped.
My eyes have been opened.
How old was Tong Yao that year? How could she be so vicious and scheming at such a young age?
And ruin her sister's face? For the talent show?
"Xia Xia, you must tell Uncle Tong what she did!"
A sneer appeared on Tong Xia's face.
She hasn't seen her father for a long time.
Besides, even if I told my father, without solid evidence, I would probably be the one who got scolded in the end.
Looking at her expression, everyone understood something.
As the saying goes, if there is a stepmother, there is a stepfather.
It seems that the Tong family is no exception.
Pei Yiyi comforted her, "Don't be afraid, we will help you collect evidence."
"Now that the misunderstanding between you and Qingqing has been resolved, from now on, Qingqing and we will all be your little sisters. If you have anything to say, don't hold it in. Just say it directly."
"Xia Xia, you don't want to participate in the talent show, right? We will all cheer for you!"
Tong Xia: "Thank you, but..."
Tong Xia's stepmother, Tan Lei, was once a queen of love songs who was very popular in the Chinese music scene. She semi-retired after marrying Tong's father, but she still has a wide network of contacts in the circle.
To put it bluntly, this talent show was just to pave the way for her daughter Tong Yao to enter the circle, and she was just a by-product.
Just tell her father how outstanding Tong Yao is and how useless she is.
"But no matter what, I have to thank them for giving me this opportunity..." A dark light flashed in Tong Xia's eyes.
"I will try my best!"
"Okay! Isn't there a saying that goes, 'A little fame depends on praise, great fame depends on luck, and forced praise will bring punishment from heaven.'"
"Yes, gold will always shine."
"Look at those talent shows in the past. The royal family never had the last laugh."
"If they dare to do anything, I'll text the truth program team and ask Master Jiang to expose them!"
By then, Master Jiang will appear from the sky and it will be no problem for him to defeat these two mothers.
Jiang Xu choked on a mouthful of milk tea: ...
Hey, is this what I use?
However, she looked up and looked at Tong Xia's face carefully.
His mother died young, he has few family ties, and his love line is unclear, but his nose bridge is strong and his career palace is bright and open, indicating that he has a destiny that can shine in his career.
She said to Tong Xia, "You are better than you think."
"Whatever you want to do...even though there will be some bumps in the road, everything will eventually come true."
"If you need anything, you can always come to me."
Meeting her beautiful and serious eyes, Tong Xia's heart felt strangely at ease.
He smiled sincerely and said, "Thank you, Master Jiang. I'll take your kind words."
Tong Xia sat down and chatted with everyone, and then had dinner together. Suddenly, she received a text message from Tong's father, asking her to go home.
Tong Xia felt a little strange.
This was the first time her father had taken the initiative to call her back since she moved out as an adult.
She took a taxi and just walked into Tong's house, she heard Tan Lei's voice.
"Changbo, I've consulted several masters, and they all say that the Feng family's luck has run out and they can't hold on for much longer. No one can save them."
Tong Changbo: "But the marriage was decided by the previous generation..."
Tan Lei: "I didn't say I wouldn't fulfill the engagement. Tong Xia is your daughter anyway, so just let her marry him."
Tong Changbo sighed: "In the beginning, this marriage belonged to Tong Xia, but you and Yaoyao insisted on snatching it away from us, and now..."
At this critical juncture, isn't this a clear slap in the face of the Feng family?
Tong Yao curled her lips secretly.
At the beginning, she had just arrived at the Tong family and met Feng Chen for the first time at a banquet.
He was wearing a well-tailored suit, and the lights shining on his deep eyebrows and eyes were like the stars in the sky. He was dignified and elegant, and stunningly handsome.
Tong Yao fell in love at first sight and was determined to get her mother to arrange this marriage for her.
But who would have thought that Feng Chen would get into a car accident and become a vegetable.
There has been no news of a cure for all these years, and now the Feng family is going bankrupt. How could she possibly marry into their family?
Tan Lei said with disdain: "The Feng family is a family on the verge of bankruptcy, are you still afraid of what they say?"
"You can't let Yaoyao get married?"
"Yaoyao has been spoiled by us since she was a child. Do you have the heart to watch her marry a vegetable and suffer with bankruptcy?"
"Tong Xia, on the other hand, has been capable since she was young, sensible, able to endure hardships, and can live well on her own. If she marries him, there will be no problem."
