Even without hearing the faint sounds, Chi Xia knew that their conversation must contain some fascinating descriptions of her.
She frowned, picked up Mengmeng, and walked over.
"My adopted daughter is utterly inhuman. My poor husband risked his life to get the superpower core, and she just tricked him out of it!"
Mother Shen's voice was filled with tears and blood: "You don't know how she treated us along the way. She always ate and drank her fill first, and only then did we get a share. I would have preferred to raise a dog rather than her!"
"Exactly! I even treated her like a younger sister back then!"
As soon as Chen's mother finished speaking, Ye Wenbai chimed in: "Originally, we could have sued her for maliciously switching the children, but my mother was soft-hearted and let them off the hook because her mother had served us for almost twenty years. But we never expected that she would be just like her mother, an ungrateful person!"
"That power core was originally meant for my brother to eat, so that he could protect us, but she secretly ate it."
Ye Wenxin sobbed, "It's one thing to have eaten, but she promised Dad she'd send us to the Pingyun base, but she..."
The three men looked increasingly indignant and condescending, while the woman in front of them listened with great interest, occasionally chiming in with a few words of agreement: "This is absolutely outrageous!"
So the three members of the Ye family talked even more enthusiastically.
Just as they were getting to the exciting part, they suddenly looked up and saw Chi Xia holding a strange red fur ball in her arms, standing not far away, watching them calmly.
Ye Wenxin panicked and immediately lost the words she had prepared.
The woman was listening intently, but when she stopped talking, she urged her repeatedly, "Tell me, but what happened to her?"
"She...she..." Ye Wenxin was stared at by Chi Xia like that, and she couldn't say anything more.
Chi Xia raised an eyebrow: "Don't worry about me, you continue. I also want to hear what happened between the three of you."
The three members of the Ye family were caught red-handed by Chi Xia, and they looked at each other in surprise. But thinking that they would be at the base soon, they immediately abandoned their fear of Chi Xia.
Remembering what she had said earlier, Chen's mother immediately snapped back to reality and yelled at Chi Xia, "How dare you come back! Didn't you leave us behind first?!"
Ye Wenxin and Ye Wenbai instantly understood what she meant and chimed in, "That's right! Since you abandoned us and thought we were a burden, why are you coming back now!"
Upon hearing this, Chi Xia gave a mocking smile: "How dare I leave before I've finished watching your performance?"
"What performance?" Ye Wenbo retorted, his neck stiff. "Everything we said is the truth!"
“Exactly! We’re telling the truth.” Ye Wenxin quickly said to the woman, “Don’t let her fool you!”
The woman completely ignored her; to be precise, ever since Chi Xia appeared, her gaze had been fixed solely on Mengmeng.
She didn't listen to what the Ye family said at all.
As soon as Chi Xia opened her mouth, she gracefully walked up to Chi Xia in her high heels, looked at Mengmeng in her arms, and said, "This puppy is so pretty, is it yours?"
“It’s not a dog,” Chi Xia defended her cub. “It’s a mutated wolf that I just met on the mountain over there.”
The woman said "Oh," her eyes still glued to Mengmeng: "This puppy is so cute."
Chi Xia said helplessly, "It really isn't a dog..."
The woman said "oh" again, then looked up at Chi Xia: "Can I pet this puppy?"
