Chapter 53 As a mother, my heart is broken

Xia Ling held Yan Feng's arm and called out cautiously, "Ah Feng..."

Yan Feng finally withdrew his gaze from Jiang Ciyou.

He looked down at Xia Ling, his voice clearly unhappy: "When did you and Jiang Xiaoxiao become friends?"

Xia Ling knew that Yan Feng hated Jiang Ciyou, but he disliked Jiang Xiaoxiao even more.

Simply don't like it.

Xia Ling quickly explained: "Ah Feng, actually I came here today for something very important."

Having said that, Xia Ling looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao.

Jiang Xiaoxiao said, "That's right, Brother Yan Feng, today is a big day. Sister Xia Ling and I hit it off right away and felt like we were destined to be together, so I plan to ask my mother to adopt Sister Xia Ling as her goddaughter."

In fact, Jiang Xiaoxiao mentioned this matter to Yao Shulan last night.

However, Jiang Xiaoxiao only said that she had a friend with a miserable life experience and wanted her mother to adopt her as her adopted daughter in name only.

But he did not tell Yao Shulan that this person was Xia Ling.

After much persuasion from Jiang Xiaoxiao, Yao Shulan finally agreed.

After hearing the news, Jiang Ciyou's face finally became completely gloomy.

Jiang Xiaoxiao really has the ability to hate her.

But both the Jiang and Yan families knew what Xia Ling had done.

She remembered that the Jiang family had betrayed her and taken advantage of her misfortune, which was despicable.

Jiang Ciyou knew that Yao Shulan still had some grudges against him.

But that was because of the grudges of the previous generation.

Yao Shulan is not the kind of woman who cannot distinguish right from wrong.

On the contrary, Yao Shulan has loved Jiang Ciyou very much since she was a child, and has taught her carefully. She has done all the things in life, big and small, by herself and never asked a nanny to do it for her.

Jiang Ciyou grew up very happily and had a very deep affection for Yao Shulan.

This is also the reason why Jiang Ciyou was unable to accept reality back then.

Yao Shulan is now a completely different person from before.

She remains gentle, kind, and reasonable to others.

But he was sarcastic and critical of Jiang Ciyou.

But from beginning to end, Jiang Ciyou still had a glimmer of fantasy in his heart.

The mother who had raised her for twenty years was still her mother.

She hated herself so much and was so disgusted because she had given too much and loved too deeply.

Deep down, she must still love her...

As long as she still has any feelings for me, even just a little bit.

She would never adopt Xia Ling as her adopted daughter.

Yan Feng was also surprised.

Because of Xia Ling's intervention, Yan's father, mother, and old man and son regard Xia Ling as a snake.

Even though Xia Ling was of Yan's blood, the Yan family would rather abandon their own descendants than acknowledge Xia Ling.

How could the Jiang family possibly adopt Xia Ling as their goddaughter?

After all, Jiang Ciyou is the daughter they have raised for twenty years.

It's impossible to ignore her feelings at all.

If this is true, it would be too cruel to Jiang Ciyou.

Yan Feng couldn't help but look at Jiang Ciyou.

Suddenly, he found that he was actually worried about her.

Even...feeling sorry for her...

In fact, from Xia Ling's point of view, this is definitely a good thing.

At this moment, Jiang Xiaoxiao suddenly walked onto the stage in the banquet hall.

She took the microphone from the host.

"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. I am Jiang Xiaoxiao. Thank you very much for coming to my banquet today. I have something very important to announce..."

The hundreds of people in the banquet hall suddenly fell silent.

Everyone moved towards the stage.

The person standing on the stage and speaking now is Jiang Xiaoxiao, the real daughter of the Jiang family.

Jiang Xiaoxiao suddenly pulled a girl in a white long dress to the center of the stage.

Then he said, "This is my good sister Xia Ling. She and I have a special bond. On this happy day, our Jiang family will adopt her as our adopted daughter. From today on, Sister Xia Ling is also the daughter of our Jiang family. I hope all uncles will take good care of her in the future."

There was a hint of doubt on everyone's face.

Many people were also whispering to each other.

"Whose family is this Miss Xia from? She looks so unfamiliar."

"Why did the Jiang family suddenly want to adopt a daughter? Mrs. Jiang is really kind-hearted. She adopted her enemy's daughter as her adopted daughter, and now she has another adopted daughter."

"Having a goddaughter is a happy thing, but looking at the expressions of Mrs. Jiang and Mr. Jiang, they are more shocked than us, as if they didn't know about it beforehand."

At this moment, Yao Shulan and Jiang Jinhui were standing on the stage.

Yao Shulan knew it.

Last night Jiang Xiaoxiao insisted that she adopt a goddaughter, but refused to tell her who it was, only saying it was a friend.

Yao Shulan didn't expect that this person was Xia Ling.

How could she not know Xia Ling's name?

Three years ago, Jiang Ciyou cut his wrists because of her.

Jiang Ciyou and Yan Feng were childhood sweethearts, but when they were in college, this girl Xia suddenly appeared.

Yan Feng was like a demon, bewitched to death by her.

Although he was forced to marry Ciyou later, he still eloped with her and went abroad.

In fact, Yao Shulan already knew.

Yan Feng and Jiang Ciyou didn't even get a marriage certificate, so it couldn't be considered a formal marriage.

She didn't like Xia Ling, and she looked down on her methods.

Father Jiang became even angrier and walked straight to Jiang Xiaoxiao's side.

He shouted: "Xiaoxiao, what are you talking about?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao said, "Dad, Mom has already agreed."

Jiang Xiaoxiao knew that this would not work on Jiang Jinhui's side, so she decided to do it first and then report it.

Fortunately, Yao Shulan would not blame her. Even if she would be a little unhappy, she knew that Yao Shulan would definitely give in to her in the end.

Because Yao Shulan felt guilty towards her.

On the surface, Jiang Jinhui is the head of the family, but in reality, he listens to Yao Shulan in everything.

Jiang Xiaoxiao has already grabbed Yao Shulan's arm.

I pleaded in a low voice: "Mom, so many people are watching us, just agree to it. Besides, she is just an adopted daughter in name only, and there is nothing to lose. Mom, this is my birthday wish. As long as you fulfill my wish, I will listen to you in everything from now on."

Seeing Jiang Xiaoxiao begging, Yao Shulan felt very uncomfortable.

Yao Shulan is a smart woman, how could she not see that the reason why Jiang Xiaoxiao wanted them to adopt Xia Ling as their adopted daughter.

Do you just want to make Jiang Ci feel bad?

In the past three years, although she tried her best to win back Jiang Xiaoxiao.

But in her heart, Jiang Xiaoxiao still regarded Jiang Ciyou as her enemy who had taken away everything from her.

This is not the first time this has happened.

Jiang Ciyou and Yan Feng's wedding banquet was also held because Jiang Xiaoxiao was unable to attend due to the noise.

In front of Jiang Xiaoxiao, she had to be rude to Jiang Ciyou in order to make up for the grievances she had suffered over the years.

In fact, she felt very uncomfortable about Jiang Ciyou.

The daughter whom she had carefully raised for twenty years turned out to be Yin Ruyun's tool for revenge.

She hated him. She hated Yin Ruyun and was also angry at Jiang Ciyou.

But after calming down, he realized clearly that Jiang Ciyou was the most innocent.

She slit her wrists.

As a mother, her heart was broken.
