"Mom, when you see Qiao Wa in the future, don't confront her directly. She's still a child, stubborn, and loves to go against you. If you do that, we'll never resolve her inner conflict."
As if remembering something, Fang Dingding reminded Chen Luoxia.
Chen Luoxia said unwillingly, "I don't know who that brat took after. She's lawless and unruly. If I had known she was so rebellious, I would have strangled her when she was born, so she wouldn't have to harm others and herself."
A cold glint flashed in Fang Dingding's eyes: "If she dies, who will donate a kidney to me? We are sisters. I believe she was just hurt too deeply, which is why she acted so drastically. One day, I will change her mind."
Chen Luoxia hugged her and said softly, "Dingding, in Mom's eyes, my daughter has always only been you."
"Mom, and Lixuan too," Fang Dingding whispered as she snuggled into her arms.
Mentioning Fang Lixuan, Chen Luoxia's expression darkened. "Lixuan is a filial son, but unfortunately, he's not our biological son. When he grows up, we'll send him abroad. The Fang family's assets will only go to you, their biological son."
The two returned to the Cheng family home. As soon as they entered the house, they heard sounds of playing and laughing coming from the second-floor rooms.
Chen Luoxia's face turned pale instantly.
Fang Dingding quickly grabbed her hand and whispered, "Mom, Huang Ling can't be kept here."
Chen Luoxia was well aware of this, but she held the evidence against Chen Luoxia for switching the baby with a baby; otherwise, Chen Luoxia would have kicked her out long ago.
"Sir, come and chase me! Ah~" At the second-floor staircase, Huang Ling, disheveled and barefoot, ran out and froze on the spot when she saw Chen Luoxia and her daughter.
Cheng Duoguo, with his eyes covered, hugged her waist from behind and kept kissing her neck.
"Sir, Madam is back," Huang Ling said, extremely embarrassed.
Cheng Duoguo hurriedly pulled off his handkerchief and saw Chen Luoxia coldly scrutinizing him.
He coughed lightly twice and shamelessly greeted them, "Xia's back, huh? Didn't you say you were having dinner with Ze?" As he spoke, he gave Huang Ling a wink, signaling her to hurry up and tidy up the room.
"Cheng Duoguo, how could you do this to me?"
Chen Luoxia snorted coldly, ran upstairs, pulled him into the room, and then burst into a roar.
"Xia, it's just an act, don't take it seriously."
"Hmph, you're always looking for something better than what you have, are you even human?"
"..."
After changing her clothes, Huang Ling made tea for Fang Dingding again, standing awkwardly to the side.
Fang Dingding, however, was not surprised and smiled faintly: "Aunt Ling, Qiao Wa's family has come to the capital."
Huang Ling's eyes widened in surprise: "Why is she here?"
"It seems Cai Ming invited her to Beijing for fun, and to attend the supermarket's ribbon-cutting ceremony." Fang Dingding seemed to have thought of something, patted the seat next to her, and gestured for her to sit down.
Huang Ling was somewhat afraid of Fang Dingding.
Unlike Chen Luoxia, she kept everything to herself, a true smiling tiger.
This is so inconsistent with her age of fourteen.
Then she suddenly remembered that Lu Siqiao was only eight years old and was still full of scheming.
Could it be some kind of genetic problem that Chen Luoxia mentioned?
“Aunt Ling, I have never seen a child as smart and lovely as Qiao Wa. Her thoughts seem to be different from those of ordinary children. I would like to ask if she was like this at home before?” Fang Dingding suspected that Lu Siqiao was also a reborn person like her.
Moreover, this reborn person also has a cheat code.
For example, the juicers sold in Caiming Supermarket, as well as children's chair carriers, scooters, and other similar items, are things that simply don't exist in this era.
Thinking of this, Fang Dingding clenched her fist, a hint of jealousy flashing in her eyes.
“It’s our fault for not having enough money to properly raise Qiaowa, which made her think I didn’t want her and caused her to harbor resentment. She used to be so lifeless at home, as if someone owed her money.”
"Speaking of which, the time when she seemed to have become a different person was when she hit her head. Everyone thought she wouldn't survive, but I heard that Cheng Ze gave her a blood transfusion and she was able to be discharged from the hospital the next day."
"At the time, I was thinking, 'That brat is faking her death. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been fooled into giving her to her uncle for adoption.'"
Huang Ling recalled.
Fang Dingding knew what was going on and sneered, "She is indeed very clever."
Huang Ling lowered her head, looking worried and anxious, and said, "Now that she's come to the capital, what if she reveals her background and arouses suspicion?"
“She doesn’t want anything to do with us, so she probably won’t tell anyone,” Fang Dingding said sharply. “But you, don’t panic. If you cause trouble for my mother, I won’t let you off the hook.”
"Don't worry, there are people who are even more impatient than us," Fang Dingding sneered.
Huang Ling nodded quickly.
Fang Dingding glanced at the second floor and asked again, "How long have you been with my stepfather?"
It was as if he were asking about something that didn't concern him.
Huang Ling felt like she was being pricked by needles, her face turning bright red. She whispered, "No, not long ago, I really didn't mean to."
"My stepfather is a womanizer; you don't actually think he's serious about you, do you?" Fang Dingding's eyes were full of mockery.
Although Cheng Duoguo became rich in middle age, he was also good at flattering people, especially dealing with poor country women like Huang Ling, who was easy to win over.
Huang Ling said it would be a lie to say she didn't fantasize about becoming a superior person.
Since arriving in the capital, she has been single-mindedly striving to climb the social ladder, spending all her salary on dressing herself up. Moreover, she is outspoken and has a voluptuous figure. Cheng Duoguo saw that she was dressed scantily and was ostensibly cleaning, but secretly he was trying to seduce her.
I couldn't resist and dragged her into the room to do it.
Once raw, twice cooked.
The two of them had also secretly met a few times in private.
Huang Ling admitted that she was no match for Chen Luoxia, and that she was only secretly taking advantage of the favors Cheng Duoguo gave her.
"Young Miss, I will never dare to do it again." She lowered her head guiltily, not daring to breathe.
Fang Dingding gave a cold laugh.
At this moment, Cheng Duoguo rushed down from the second floor, shouting that he needed to fetch a doctor and so on.
After all that trouble, it turned out that Chen Luoxia was pregnant.
Seeing Cheng Duoguo's smug expression, Chen Luoxia scolded him, "Now that you're pregnant, if you dare to betray me again, I'll make you a eunuch!"
Cheng Duoguo said to her tenderly, "It will never happen again. You can focus on your pregnancy. If anything happens in the future, let me handle it."
Chen Luoxia had a sudden inspiration and took the opportunity to propose a marriage alliance between the Cheng and Chen families.
"You mean, you want Aze to marry Dingding?" Cheng Duoguo asked in surprise. "Wouldn't it be better if they were siblings?"
Fang Dingding is only a few months older than Cheng Ze.
No one understands her daughter's thoughts better than Chen Luoxia.
"It's better to keep the good stuff within the family. Dingding is smart, capable, and filial to you. It's much better than him meeting those shady characters in the future." Chen Luoxia thought that Chen Siqiao also liked Cheng Ze, and she made up her mind to break them up.
“Okay, I’ll ask Aze later.” Cheng Duoguo readily agreed.
Chen Luoxia added, "He's a boy, how would he know these things? It's a family marriage, it's not his place to disagree."
