Chapter Twelve: Past Events



Tang Xiaoxiao was completely helpless against her father's stubbornness. In her previous life, her father was diagnosed with severe thrombosis and underwent surgery. The doctor explicitly forbade him from smoking, but he couldn't resist. He always said that he had smoked all his life and couldn't quit. He himself was unwilling to quit, and no one could persuade him otherwise.

The two sisters even confiscated their father's savings account, but as a result, he would ask others for cigarettes when he went out for a stroll, and they couldn't be kept in check at all.

Tang Xiaoxiao can only pin her hopes on the magical effects of the spatial water. Since it can help expel toxins from the body, it should also have an effect on the damage caused by smoking...

Tang Xinxin was obviously aware of her father's behavior. After grumbling for a few minutes, she stopped talking and then looked curiously at the cars behind her father. When she learned that the bright red SUV behind them was a brand new car that the father and daughter had just bought, Tang Xinxin was so envious and jealous that she was practically bubbling with envy!

Eagerly getting into Tang Xiaoxiao's new car to experience it, Tang Xinxin stroked the steering wheel with obvious delight: "I don't care, I'm getting a new car in two years at the latest... no, even a year! Tang Xiaoxiao, you're so small, yet you've got such a big SUV. Can you even handle the clutch?!"

"Ugh, I can't take it anymore, you guys have to leave! You're so annoying!"

Tang Xinxin reluctantly got out of the driver's seat of the SUV, glared at Tang Xiaoxiao, and said with a smile.

The two sisters have similar tastes in cars, and Tang Xiaoxiao's newly acquired car is something that Tang Xiaoxiao really envies.

After laughing and joking for a while, Tang Xinxin couldn't leave the shop, and Xuanxuan had started school and wouldn't have a holiday. After waving goodbye, Tang Xiaoxiao and her father drove home.

As expected, the two cars stopped in front of Tang's small building, and the neighbors, having heard the commotion, gathered in a large crowd.

"Hey bro, you got a new car? Wow, that's really impressive!"

"Wow, buying two at once!"

"I know this is expensive. My son keeps showing me a picture of something similar, and it costs hundreds of thousands!"

A neighbor's youngest son squeezed forward with a grin and said, "Xiaoxiao, can I borrow it for a bit? I'll just drive around for a short while, I promise you won't get hurt."

Tang smiled and said that this neighbor lady had a very good relationship with Tang's mother. Tang's mother often went to her house to play mahjong, so she readily threw the keys in her hand over.

The young man cheered, jumped into the SUV, started the car, and carefully drove off.

Tang Xiaoxiao didn't want to be so high-profile and attract a crowd, but she had no choice. The town was only so big, and when she and her father drove their new car back and parked it in front of their house, they couldn't block the gaze of people who were idly chatting on the street.

Suddenly, Tang Xiaoxiao noticed an older woman with half-gray hair in the crowd.

This person is none other than Tang Xinxin's former mother-in-law and Xuanxuan's biological grandmother.

Xuanxuan's biological father's surname is Chen, and his name is Chen Yong. He is a dull and rigid man with a decent appearance and a tall and big build. However, he and Tang Xinxin, who is straightforward and hot-tempered, just don't get along.

Tang Xinxin dropped out of school too early and returned home. Not long after, the Chen family asked someone who was familiar with both families to act as a matchmaker and propose marriage to Chen Yong. It turned out that Chen Yong had already fallen in love with Tang Xinxin. They lived in the same small town, and Tang Xinxin was a famous beauty. Most of the young people of the same age in the town had unspeakable feelings for Tang Xinxin. It was not surprising that Chen Yong was attracted to Tang Xinxin.

Although Chen Yong seemed quiet and reserved, he was much bolder than others. Seeing that Tang Xinxin had dropped out of school and was at home, he quickly revealed his feelings to his parents and went to their house first. Chen's parents were naturally more than willing. Tang Xinxin was flawless in every way, and the Tang family was one of the wealthiest families in the area. They were overjoyed to have a daughter-in-law like Tang Xinxin.

At that time, Tang's parents were still angry about their daughter's insistence on dropping out of school. They thought that since she wouldn't go to school, she might as well get married early. In the eyes of the elders, Chen Yong's taciturn nature was not a flaw, but rather a plus. In their eyes, honest and reliable young people were always much more dependable than slick and cunning ones. The Chen family had been in the hairdressing business for generations, and it was a family tradition. At a young age, Chen Yong had already opened a fairly large beauty and hair salon, and his family was doing quite well. The two families lived not far apart, so they weren't worried about not being able to take care of their daughter after she got married. Therefore, although Tang's parents didn't agree to the Chen family's matchmaking proposal, they didn't object either.

Tang Xinxin had no prior romantic experience, and with her parents' tacit approval, she dated Chen Yong for about a year. In those days, the customs of the small town were still somewhat conservative. Since the two had been together for so long and the neighbors all knew about it, it was only natural that they should get married. Tang's parents also thought so.

But at that time, Tang Xinxin didn't really understand what love was. Her relationship with Chen Yong was lukewarm; she didn't dislike him, but she didn't like him much either. This marriage came rather passively. When they were dating, they were both quite shy when they went out on dates every now and then. They didn't know each other very well, and their incompatibilities weren't very obvious yet. Young men and women are naturally shy about expressing themselves.

After living together after marriage, their true colors were fully revealed. Chen Yong was a mute, the kind who would only respond once out of ten calls, while Tang Xinxin was quick-tempered and straightforward. Their personalities were completely incompatible. Daily life was filled with trivial matters, and their personality clashes were a serious problem. They couldn't see eye to eye, and everything was unpleasant for them.

Moreover, whether it was because Tang Xinxin was too dazzling or because Chen Yong felt inferior due to his own shortcomings, he gradually became very petty. Even if Tang Xinxin bumped into a male classmate on the street and chatted for a few words, he would get angry. At first, he would just sulk, but gradually it evolved into him making sarcastic and sarcastic remarks.
