Chapter 284: I want the same!
Children have always been dependent on their mothers' care and guidance.
As a father, there are many things that he is not comfortable telling Jiaojiao. Even if he does well in other aspects, it is not as good as having his mother by his side.
Li Sui thought at the time that it would be the same no matter who he married.
It would be better to marry Xu Ya.
He was worried about the other person's character, and was also afraid that the other person would make Jiaojiao suffer.
But Xu Ya is different.
Xu Ya is Lin Yuan's cousin.
I heard from Lin Yuan before that Xu Ya was also a girl with good character, but it was a pity that she didn't marry into a good family.
In addition, Xu Ya also has children of her own.
People who have their own children will never be so cruel as to abuse other people's children.
But he was wrong in the end.
What he thought was different from reality after all.
Li Sui closed his eyes. "I was wrong. I always thought everything was too naive. I didn't know she dared to treat Jiaojiao like this!"
He asked people to carefully monitor Jiaojiao every day to see if she was being treated unfairly in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and whether everything was the same as before.
I’m afraid Xu Ya has treated Jiaojiao unfairly.
Fortunately, Jiaojiao still lived a life of luxury as before, and all the delicious and fun things were delivered to Jiaojiao's house.
He always thought that Xu Ya took good care of Jiaojiao.
Jiaojiao's temperament becomes more depressed day by day.
He just thought that Jiaojiao was the same as him, and even after so much time, she still couldn't accept the fact that Lin Yuan had left.
"I'm stupid, I..."
When Li Sui said this, he raised his hand and slapped himself hard.
Lin Yuan snorted, his eyes revealing a hint of sarcasm. "Do you think that a stepmother who wants to abuse her child will only withhold food and do stupid things that everyone can see?"
Stop it.
Jiaojiao is still a child of the Li family after all.
Xu Ya is not that stupid.
If Xu Ya withheld all the things that belonged to Jiaojiao and gave all the good things to Xu Xianer alone, it would be like trampling on the reputation of the entire general's mansion.
If Xu Ya wasn't extremely stupid, she wouldn't do such a thing.
"This kind of mental abuse is truly bloodless. To outsiders, her stepmother's actions seem impeccable. Sometimes, even Jiaojiao herself can't tell anything is wrong."
Who made Li Sui look so dejected as if he had lost his parents the moment he saw Jiaojiao?
The coldness on Lin Yuan's face became more and more severe. They were all human beings, and she couldn't help but guess what Xu Ya was thinking.
She glanced at Li Sui expressionlessly. "Didn't Xu Ya tell you recently that Jiaojiao's temper has become increasingly strange, and asked you to talk to her? If possible, why not mention my name and ask her to think about whether, if I were still here, I would be willing to see her continue to be depressed like this."
Li Sui's expression was solemn. "Yes."
He indeed said this to Jiaojiao.
But if these words were heard by Jiaojiao, who already felt that Lin Yuan's death was caused by her, it would only be more irritating.
This will only reinforce Jiaojiao's misconception that her father hates her.
What a vicious mind!
No wonder from then on, whenever he went to see Jiaojiao, eight out of ten times, Jiaojiao would hide secretly and not want to see him.
He was so stupid that he almost made a big mistake today, only to find out that Jiaojiao had suffered so much injustice under his nose.
Seeing Li Sui's increasingly gloomy expression, Jiaojiao reached out and tugged at his sleeve in fear, "Father, are you angry?"
"Don't be angry, okay?"
Jiaojiao lowered her head, feeling a little nervous.
Dad still has to continue living with my aunt.
If my cousin's aunt knew that my father was so angry because of her, as soon as my father left, she would definitely scold her with a stern face and say that she was ignorant.
"Dad, don't be angry..."
"I...I won't talk about this anymore."
She didn't want to be called a jinx anymore.
"Dad, let's not be angry anymore, okay?"
Although Jiaojiao is still young, she is not stupid.
She knew that after tonight, her mother might return to the underworld to wait for reincarnation.
And Daddy...
Dad will still have to live with my cousin's mother.
My father and my cousin's mother are already husband and wife.
At this time, no matter what she said, it would sound like she was trying to sow discord and was ignorant to others.
No matter what happens between my father and my aunt, everyone will blame her.
Jiaojiao shrank back in fear.
Her tears fell, her voice childish but trembling, "Dad, please don't be angry anymore, okay?"
"Jingjiao..."
"Jiaojiao doesn't want to be scolded as a bad kid who is ignorant and only causes trouble for her father..."
"Dad is no longer Jiaojiao's dad alone. Dad, Jiaojiao is fine..."
That's what they said in front of her.
He said that his father is very busy now. He is no longer Jiaojiao's father, but also his cousin Xianer's father.
Dad was sad, but he had to go out to earn a salary to support the family.
Dad is already tired enough, she can't make things worse for him.
Jiaojiao lowered her head and said, "Today is the last time I go out. I won't go out casually anymore."
But she still only has one mother.
No matter what, she would never change her way of calling others "Aniang".
Lin Yuan held his daughter in his arms and gave Li Sui a cold look. "Li Sui, this is how you take care of my daughter, right? You really married a good wife! You treated my daughter so harshly!"
"Now that you know the truth, what are you going to do?"
Lin Yuan scoffed, "Are you planning to ground her? Or are you punishing her by making her copy Buddhist scriptures?"
"After all, no matter how the punishment is, it's just some kind of mild punishment, right?"
How could God be so blind as to let her die?
Why wasn’t the dead person Li Sui, a damn bastard!
If the person who died was Li Sui, she would not know about others, but as her mother, she would definitely take care of Jiaojiao herself and would not give others the opportunity to take advantage of her.
She used to have a very good relationship with Li Sui.
But she has become a ghost now. Since she has become a ghost, it is a bit naive and childish for her to still be thinking about the love she had when she was a human.
Li Sui suddenly raised his eyes, all his emotions sank to the bottom, his expression was indifferent, and it was impossible to tell what emotion he had.
But those who knew him well knew that at this moment, a storm was about to come.
He ordered in a cold voice: "Go and call Xu Ya and Xu Xian'er over."
As the people below walked into the flower hall, they were almost frightened by Lin Yuan, who was standing next to Li Sui and holding Jiaojiao, and they almost dropped the things in their hands.
But the people below will eventually follow their master's lead.
The master didn't say a word, and the maids and servants below swallowed the words "there must be something fishy" into their stomachs.
With trembling legs, he obeyed Li Sui's instructions and asked Xu Ya and her daughter to come over.
Some perceptive people have already noticed from the way Li Sui addressed the two people that things might change in the mansion tonight.
Just chant Amitabha Buddha in your heart.
When the news reached Xu Ya and her daughter.
Xu Ya was woken up by someone. She was still wearing a silk Chinese medicine uniform, which was soft and cold. She was a little unhappy that her sweet dream was disturbed.
But he didn't say much. He frowned and woke up his daughter.
Xu Xian'er was a little angry, "It's so noisy!"
"It's the middle of the night and you're not going to let me sleep!"
The maids who came to deliver the message were also complaining in their hearts, thinking that none of them were easy to serve.
But at least there are people here.
Over there...
But it’s a ghost!
Xu Ya wanted to find out, but these girls were so tight-lipped that she couldn't get out a single word.
She just slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and gently coaxed her daughter, "Okay, Xian'er, since it's your father who called us, let's go over there first."
"Later, Mom will buy you a pair of pearl head ornaments."
Xu Xian'er was finally coaxed into a good mood, and pursed her lips again, "Mom, I saw it the other day. Li Jiaojiao has a set of ruby headpieces. The color is so beautiful. I have never seen such beautiful jewelry!"
Xu Ya was just trying to coax her daughter, but a trace of dissatisfaction flashed through her heart. How old was Jiaojiao, yet she knew how to flaunt these expensive things in public? It was clearly a deliberate attempt to irritate Xian'er. "I'll buy you a set like that later."
"Xian'er, stop making trouble. Let's go see your father first."
"I don't want it!" Xu Xian'er snorted, "I want the one Li Jiaojiao has!"
She got angry when she saw Jiaojiao smiling while holding those things.
Why are they both rich ladies, but she doesn’t have what Li Jiaojiao has?
She doesn't want the same one, she wants the one in Li Jiaojiao's hand!
