These are the three people closest to her, but now they all want to harm her!
Xu Li couldn't describe how she felt; she only felt pain, absurdity, and heartbreak.
But the Jing family deserves to have fallen to this state.
They used to relentlessly exploit Jing Zhenxu, hoping to turn him into a bloodsucker and suck his blood for the rest of his life. Now that Jing Zhenxu is gone, they have to do it themselves.
Without people to suck blood, it turned into a dog-eat-dog show that made people want to laugh.
Xu Li clutched her heart, took two steps back, and stared at the three people in front of her, her eyes looking at them as if they were some ferocious beasts.
Her expression seemed to bring the three people in front of her to a slightly more sober state; they probably realized that they had been far too inhumane before.
Jing Xuan coughed, averting her gaze somewhat evasively, and whispered:
“What we did was indeed a bit wrong. After all, you are still our mother. If we want to stand together against outsiders, we should focus our attention on Ruan Tian.”
With Jingxuan taking the lead, the others, though each with their own thoughts, knew it was best to keep them hidden at this time.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit off, Jing Yunping looked away somewhat guiltily, but still said something along those lines:
“My sister is right. Right now, we should focus on Ruan Tian. We haven’t dealt with Ruan Tian yet, so it wouldn’t be good for us to fight amongst ourselves.”
Seeing that the atmosphere was about right, Jingzhong finally stepped forward and said, "Indeed, Xuanxuan and Yunping are right. They don't really want you to go down into the mine. You don't need to be so nervous."
Xu Li already had a bad impression of the Jing family. The way these three people acted just now made her realize her position in the Jing family.
Seeing that he had already given Xu Li a way out, but she still stubbornly remained silent, Jing Zhong frowned and slowly began to speak:
"Xu Li, are you blaming me?"
"..." Xu Li didn't speak, she just remained silent, but anyone with eyes could see her dissatisfaction.
Jingzhong frowned, his tone becoming increasingly harsh, "You're already this old, can't you think more about the children?"
He was incredibly shameless when he said that, putting almost all the blame on Xu Li.
"Besides, your status in this family is really not high, your special abilities aren't that great, and at this age you're old and past your prime. What can you contribute to our family?"
Jing Shige thought he was giving Xu Li a way out, but little did he know that his words only made Xu Li feel more upset.
"Is this how you see me?"
Xu Li looked at Jing Zhong hesitantly, her gaze filled with resentment and deep sadness. She truly hadn't expected Jing Zhong to harbor such dark thoughts.
"I've already been working so hard in the mine for so long, what more do you want from me?"
Jingzhong had long disliked Xu Li; his wife was quite beautiful when she was young.
But after having two children and being a housewife for so many years, her beauty had long since disappeared.
Jingzhong now finds his wife extremely displeasing; she can't be kept around as a decorative object, she's just another mouth to feed.
Why keep someone like that around?
"Jingzhong, I've followed you for so many years. I've worked hard, even if I haven't done anything great, and I've even given you children. That's how you got to where you are today! Now that I'm old and my looks have faded, you've started to despise me?"
Xu Li clutched her heart, experiencing the feeling of her soul being pierced at that moment.
She had treated Jing Zhenxu the same way back then, but now that the boomerang had hit her, she finally knew the pain.
Jingzhong remained absent-minded, showing no reaction to Xu Li's heartfelt words, and even displaying a hint of annoyance on his face.
"I've already said it, I apologized to you a long time ago, so who are you trying to impress with this act?"
Jingzhong waved his hand casually, "Alright, let's just leave it at that. We can focus on Ruan Tian from now on. You don't need to worry about anything else."
The more he acted like this, the more distressed Xu Li felt. And it wasn't just Jing Zhong who felt this way; even Jing Xuan and Jing Yunping were there to comfort him.
"Yes, Mom, don't be so sensitive. I think Dad is right. We're all family. You look terrible right now. Think about it for the sake of our family and stop causing trouble."
Xu Li: "..."
She didn't want to stay with these three selfish people any longer, so she stood up with a cold face and went straight upstairs.
Jing Zhong stared at Xu Li's retreating figure, not taking her anger to heart. He simply waved casually and said to Jing Xuan and Jing Yunping:
"That's how menopause is. Don't worry about her. She's probably just angry for a while. Don't take it to heart."
After hearing this, neither the son nor the daughter went to intervene in Xu Li's matter.
Everyone felt that Xu Li was useless and overly dramatic, and there was no need to get angry about this.
"Eat everything that's left in this bag. No one else is allowed to touch anything in the bag."
Ishige packed the remaining supplies from his backpack into bags, preparing to take them back to his room.
Seeing his actions, Jing Yunping frowned in dissatisfaction and was about to say something when he heard Jing Zhong say:
"You've already eaten so much by yourself, and now you're giving this to me? Do you have a problem with that?"
Jing Yunping naturally dared not have any objections. No matter how dissatisfied he was, he had no choice but to lower his head.
Jing Zhong quickly returned to his room. Jing Yunping gritted his teeth, turned around, stared at Jing Xuan for two seconds, sneered, and then said:
"What's wrong with you? All the food has been taken away, and you haven't said a word?"
Jing Xuan gave a wry smile. "What's the use of me saying this? If you're brave, then you can go ahead and do it yourself. I certainly don't dare."
Upon hearing this, Jing Yunping felt as if he had suddenly gained a useless older sister!
"Forget it, there's no point in me telling you all this now. You're just a piece of trash."
Hearing the word "useless" stung Jing Xuan's heart. She bit her lower lip and couldn't help but mutter:
"You think you're so great? Nobody else can compare to you."
"What did you say?" Upon hearing this, Jing Yunping suddenly turned around and looked at Jing Xuan, his eyes looking like he wanted to devour someone, which was very terrifying.
Jingxuan dared not speak anymore, and suddenly realized that this was the first time she had clearly seen what kind of personalities her family members really had.
Because when Jing Zhenxu was still alive, the siblings would bully him and treat him as the person at the bottom of the Jing family's food chain.
But now that Jing Zhenxu is gone, the one who was bullied has become Jing Xuan.
