Xu Xianxian was delayed for some time because of an accident in the supermarket. When she returned home, it was already half past eight and the food was cold.
"Xianxian, why are you back so late today?"
Bai Zhen'er's mother, Xu Xianxian's stepmother, is a gentle middle-aged woman named Bai Xi. She was cleaning in the kitchen and came out immediately after hearing the door open.
In fact, it was only about thirty minutes later than usual, but Xu Xianxian looked sweet and cute, and delicate and fragile like a junior high school student. It was inevitable that she would be worried if he came back alone at night.
"Something happened at the supermarket and we were delayed for a while."
Xu Xianxian changed her shoes at the entrance, looked at Bai Xi's concerned face, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
The last time I saw Bai Xi was a week ago, but for Xu Xianxian, it felt like a whole lifetime ago.
My stepmother's face is still quite young, without so many wrinkles and frost, and she has a unique mature charm. I can vaguely tell that she was a beauty when she was young.
I don't know how I fell in love with my dad...
"Oh, right... Mom, Zhen'er told me this afternoon that she won't be back for dinner tonight..." Xu Xianxian recalled Bai Zhen'er's words and whispered, "She said she was going out to play with her classmates."
She has a very good relationship with Bai Xi. Over the years, she has really treated herself as her own child, not like the vicious stepmother portrayed in TV dramas.
Generally speaking, Bai Xi always gives priority to Xu Xianxian when something happens. This may be one of the reasons why Bai Zhen'er was distant from Xu Xianxian in her previous life.
"Well, forget about that girl." Bai Xi felt a headache when talking about his own daughter, and sighed helplessly, "She called me earlier and told me that she was staying over at a friend's house... I wanted to give her a few more instructions, but she just hung up the phone. She's really becoming more and more rebellious."
Compared to Bai Zhen'er, her biological daughter, the well-behaved and obedient Xu Xianxian is more loved by her. Even though Bai Zhen'er has better grades, Bai Xi still prefers Xu Xianxian.
After all, Bai Zhen'er is too undisciplined and likes to play outside, which always makes her parents worry. Compared with the sensible Xu Xianxian, she is different in her parents' eyes.
"Zhen'er is very smart and will pay attention to safety." Xu Xianxian smiled sweetly, her big eyes twinkling, looking extremely cute, like a little apple: "Mom, don't blame her. She is so outstanding, she naturally has her own plans."
"Oh...that child..." Bai Xi shook his head and sighed. Then, looking at his cute little daughter in front of him, he felt much better. Then, as if he remembered something, he slapped his head and said, "Xianxian, you haven't eaten yet, you must be starving at this time! Look at my memory. I was just about to heat up some food for you, but I forgot after chatting for a few minutes. Wait for me for a few minutes, I'll be ready soon..."
After she said this, she hurried to the kitchen.
Xu Xianxian looked at her mother's back, and felt a little warmer in her heart. She shook her head and smiled. She looked up at the old-fashioned wall clock and thought that her father had not come back yet, and he was probably working overtime at the factory again.
She knew very well that her father often worked overtime until late at night for the little overtime pay, and had dinner at the factory. Only on weekends did he have one or two days off, and the family had the chance to gather around the dining table for a meal.
It seems that for me at the age of 18, money is still a big problem...
Xu Xianxian was a little worried about this. Compared to those unrealistic fantasy ghosts, the real life situation in front of her was what gave her a bigger headache.
For beautiful girls, how can they make quick money besides prostitution?
