At this moment, Ran Xia was silent.
Because Zhan Beiyao's words really touched her heart.
In her previous life, she had always longed for maternal and paternal love since she was a child. Seeing that her peers were accompanied by their parents, she felt extremely lonely in her heart.
But in this life, she no longer has any desire for this kind of family affection.
Who knew that fate loved to play tricks on people, and God let her know the truth.
But she had to know that she had a biological father!
"Little girl."
Zhan Beiyao seemed to see through Ran Xia's heart. He couldn't help but reach out and ruffle her hair, saying softly, "I know you are very conflicted and scared at the same time, because the hurt Ran Dongcheng brought you has made you unwilling to believe that there is true fatherly love in this world anymore."
"But Xia Xia, if you give up this opportunity, aren't you afraid that you will regret it for the rest of your life? I don't want you to live with me with this regret, so I hope you can recognize Uncle Jin. I believe this should also be your mother's last wish."
"Ayao."
Ran Xia finally chose to confront Bei Yao and confessed her inner feelings: "I am not mentally prepared to intervene in other people's families. I don't want to be the daughter of a mistress in other people's eyes, and I don't want to make things difficult for him. Only by keeping a distance can we best protect each other."
"Silly girl."
The man gently kissed the girl's cheek: "You're thinking too much. With me here, who would dare to bully you? Now, just follow your heart and do what you want to do. Do you understand?"
…
The other side.
Mu family.
Grandma Mu and Tan Xiaomei were sitting on the sofa chatting, and the content of their conversation was naturally about those socialites and rich girls.
"Mom, I met Grandma Wang and her granddaughter in the park today. Grandma Wang's granddaughter is not only beautiful, but also a top student. Do you think it would be considered a good match if Mu Xu could be with Grandma Wang's granddaughter?"
Upon hearing this, Grandma Mu's face lit up with joy. "Yes, Grandma Wang's granddaughter is indeed a good one, but she is three years older than our Xiaoxu. However, as the saying goes, a girl three years older than you is a treasure. It doesn't matter if she is a few years older. She can just take care of our Xiaoxu."
Tan Xiaomei quickly said, "Mom, next time you go out for a walk with Grandma Wang, remember to recommend our Xiaoxu more."
What the two of them didn't know was that Luo Ziqing was already standing at the door at this time, listening to their entire conversation.
But the girl hesitated for only a moment before she quickly walked in and came directly in front of Grandma Mu and Tan Xiaomei, shouting expressionlessly, "Grandma, Aunt Tan, I'm back."
Seeing this, Tan Xiaomei rolled her eyes at Luo Ziqing in dissatisfaction: "Where have you been today? Our clothes are piled up and haven't been washed yet. Go and wash them quickly."
Luo Ziqing didn't say anything, but turned around and walked towards the laundry room with an expression of submission.
Tan Xiaomei continued to discuss those wealthy and famous ladies with Grandma Mu: "Mom, I actually think Mr. Zhang's daughter is pretty good too. She's quiet and pretty. I think we can introduce her to Xiaoxu."
"Xiao Xu is about to go to college, so we can decide on the marriage first." Grandma Mu nodded in agreement: "Our Xiao Xu is so outstanding, we can have more choices."
Tan Xiaomei sighed at this time: "Mom, but Luo Ziqing is still pregnant..."
Grandma Mu interrupted quietly, "Xiaomei, didn't I tell you before? Once she gives birth, we'll find a way to get rid of her. Then we can say the child was adopted. Wouldn't that be done without anyone knowing?"
Just at this moment, Luo Ziqing came over with a pile of dirty clothes.
Without saying a word, she threw the dirty clothes at Tan Xiaomei and said in a bad tone, "Auntie Tan, don't you want to wash clothes? Here, I brought the clothes for you."
Tan Xiaomei was shocked by Luo Ziqing's behavior.
Is this damn girl crazy?
After a moment, she stood up angrily: "Luo Ziqing, are you really that bold as a bear or a leopard? How dare you show such disrespect in front of me!?"
"Auntie Tan, you don't respect me, but you expect me to respect you. Does that make sense?"
Luo Ziqing simply put her hands on her hips and pointed at Tan Xiaomei's face, cursing, "What's more, you are too shameless! I, Luo Ziqing, came to your Mu family to be a daughter-in-law, not a servant. It's okay for you to order a pregnant woman like me around, but you actually want to choose another wife for Mu Xu? Am I just your Mu family's baby-making machine?!"
Tan Xiaomei was completely shocked.
Because she never dreamed that Luo Ziqing, who had always been submissive, would suddenly say such words.
Seeing Luo Ziqing being so disrespectful, Grandma Mu stood up angrily and said, "Luo Ziqing, I allowed you to stay while you were pregnant, and it was I who agreed to let you stay in the Mu family. It's fine if you're not grateful, but you actually said such things. Believe it or not, I'll kick you out right away!"
"Kick me out?"
Luo Ziqing felt like she had just heard a ridiculous joke: "You old, idiot! How many more years do you think you can live? And you're still acting so arrogantly in front of me?"
"You——" Grandma Mu was so angry that her face turned pale when she heard this.
Luo Ziqing simply cursed without any hesitation: "You damn old woman! I'm telling you, it was Uncle Mu who agreed to let me stay. No one of you can chase me away!"
Grandma Mu's frowning face was filled with shock.
She never dreamed that Luo Ziqing would dare to be so presumptuous in this family?
This is really outrageous!
What she couldn't have imagined was that Luo Ziqing continued to curse arrogantly at this moment: "Old man, Tan Xiaomei, I'm warning you, from now on, when I'm in this house, you two better be polite to me and stop bossing me around, otherwise I will be rude to you!"
Grandma Mu was almost angry to death.
Does Luo Ziqing really think of herself as the mistress of this house?
Similarly, as the hostess of a family, how could Tan Xiaomei allow herself to be stepped on by a little girl from the countryside? So she stood up without any hesitation, raised her hand and slapped Luo Ziqing hard.
Unexpectedly, Luo Ziqing pushed the man directly onto the sofa with her backhand.
"You little bitch, are you rebelling?" Tan Xiaomei pointed at Luo Ziqing's face in frustration, "Don't forget, this is the Mu family."
"So what about the Mu family? Tan Xiaomei, let me tell you, I, Luo Ziqing, am not someone you can mess with! If you dare to give me orders again, I promise you will be in big trouble!"
