Chapter 52 The original heroine appears!
Shi Xiaoai's hand holding the key paused and she turned her head in surprise.
She doesn't have any brothers or sisters, so who can call Cheng Yang "brother-in-law"?
Probably the only one is Shi Xiaomei, the heroine in the book.
But, how did she end up here?
She turned and looked at Shi Xiaomei.
The man in front of me looked to be about 23 or 24 years old, with a pair of pigtails tied into loops and hanging beside his ears. He wore a plain floral cotton jacket and black trousers. He looked delicate and handsome, and surprisingly resembled me.
At this time, Shi Xiaomei had already walked quickly to Cheng Yang's side, and suddenly stopped when she was about one or two steps away from him.
She seemed to be trying hard to control her emotions, but her eyes were still full of excitement and surprise.
She bit her lip and said softly, "Brother-in-law, you're back."
The voice is full of emotion.
Shi Xiaoai raised her eyebrows.
Faced with such inquiries, Cheng Yang did not answer.
He sat on the tricycle without daring to move, looking at his wife outside the door in shock, his eyes filled with a cry for help.
Shi Xiaoai stood there without moving, and didn't give him any response.
Although she now felt that Shi Xiaomei in front of her was filled with indescribable weirdness and incongruity in every way, she was not prepared to get involved in the matter between this person and Cheng Yang.
——They called each other so affectionately, no one would believe that there was nothing going on between them!
Shi Xiaoai leaned towards the door silently, with an attitude of watching the show.
She looked at the two people in front of her with a playful expression, so leisurely that she almost had a bag of melon seeds in her hand.
Cheng Yang looked at his young wife speechlessly and could only face it alone.
He fixed his gaze on the woman's face and asked in a cold voice, "Who are you?"
His voice was cold and impatient, which immediately pulled Shi Xiaomei's mind back from the ancient memories. She then realized that she had lost her composure.
In her previous life, she had met Cheng Yang only twice. The first time was when she came to him under the pretext of being Shi Xiaoai's cousin and said she wanted to see her cousin's orphan.
At that time, Cheng Yang spoke a few words to her in such a cold voice, and then asked the little brat to come out and meet her.
Although Shi Xiaomei felt that she had tried very hard to show kindness to the little brat, perhaps because she had no good relationship with children, Shi Mingrui did not get close to her. He left without saying a few words, saying that he had to do his homework.
She was also politely seen off by the guards.
The second time they met was many years later. At that time, Xiaomei already knew that although her brother-in-law had not been kind to her at the beginning, he had always sent people to help her.
She has been able to escape danger at the most difficult junctures in her business several times, and Cheng Yang's assistance was always indispensable.
At that time, she was almost unable to live with her gambling husband and wanted to ask Cheng Yang for help again.
She even thought that as long as Cheng Yang was willing, he would ask her to do anything, even if it meant being Shi Xiao Ai's substitute or the woman behind him.
She always knew that this man was obsessed with her cousin who was so weak that her bones were rotten, and he had not married for more than ten years.
Shi Xiaomei knew that she looked somewhat like Shi Xiaoai, and she still remembered the shocked expression on Cheng Yang's face when he first saw her.
But what Shi Xiaomei never expected was that when she went to look for Cheng Yang this time, she could no longer see him.
Cheng Yang was promoted and moved to the capital, where he held a position of power. She tried her best to contact him but failed, until she finally saw him briefly on TV.
This figure became Shi Xiaomei's regret for many years, and she would feel regretful whenever she thought of it.
She always wondered, if she had gone to Cheng Yang earlier, if she had known earlier that he had someone to take care of her behind the scenes...
Things would not have turned out the way they did in the end.
So when she saw Cheng Yang, and saw that he was even more handsome than she remembered, Shi Xiaomei was a little unable to control herself for a moment.
Hearing Cheng Yang's question, she quickly suppressed her emotions and put on her most endearing expression. She pursed her lips slightly, raised her eyes slightly, looked up at Cheng Yang and said, "Brother-in-law, I'm Shi Xiaomei, Shi Xiaoai's cousin."
"Your sister is over there." Cheng Yang interrupted her before she could finish and waved towards the door.
Shi Xiaomei turned her head in surprise, a hint of regret flashing across her eyes.
Obviously, she had realized how wrong she was just now. She was so stupid that she forgot that her cheap cousin was still alive!
Shi Xiaoai was speechless when she saw Cheng Yang passing the buck so quickly.
But she also knew that she couldn't avoid this matter, so she simply stood up from the door, glanced at Shi Xiaomei, and said lightly: "I'm the only one in my family, I don't have any cousins."
Shi Xiaomei has returned to normal by now, and Shi Xiaoai's coldness is within her expectations.
Hearing this, she smiled bitterly, with an indescribable pity in her smile.
She said, "Sister, it's normal that you don't know me. We have hardly met before, and I didn't recognize you just now.
Neither of us did anything wrong in this matter. It was the times that made us sisters meet without knowing each other. We are both victims and no one can do anything about it.
Let me introduce myself. My name is Shi Xiaomei, and I'm Shi Yunpeng's daughter. I'm a year younger than you. My father and uncle are brothers. When I was born, my uncle held me in his arms, and we still have photos of that time at home. So, whether you recognize me or not, I am indeed your cousin.
Shi Xiaoai didn't expect her to say such a thing, and couldn't help but think in her heart that the heroine is the heroine, she really has her own way.
The fact that he can remain so composed even when he is clearly unwelcome cannot be underestimated.
She didn't respond to the question, but continued coldly, "You're waiting at our door so late, aren't you here to chat with me? If you have anything to say, just say it."
Hearing her ask this, Shi Xiaomei lowered her head.
When he raised his head again, his face had changed into an expression of enduring humiliation.
Her eyes were filled with tears, and she said to Shi Xiaoai in an earnest tone, "Sister, I came here today to ask you to forgive me.
My grandma and my cousin are already badly injured. The doctor said they'll have to stay in bed for at least six months. If you still can't vent your anger, I'm willing to accept your punishment. Do whatever you want to me! Can you... can you spare my parents and my brother? "
As she prayed, her eyelashes seemed unable to bear the weight, and big tears rolled down, making Shi Xiaomei look even more beautiful like a withered flower, so charming and touching.
Even Shi Xiaoai couldn't help but sigh when she saw it: "She's pretending to be such a white lotus!"
But she didn’t quite understand what Shi Xiaomei said - what did it mean to spare her parents and her brother?
Shi Xiaoai knew that her brother Shi Daxi was fired from his job, but what happened to her parents?
Could it be that Shi Lao Er was also fired?
Since she didn't know, Shi Xiaoai didn't hide her confusion and asked directly, "What happened to your parents and your brother?"
Shi Xiaomei was stunned.
She even forgot to pretend and exclaimed in surprise: "You don't know?"
"What do I know?"
She bit her lip and asked, "Didn't you ask someone to do it?"
Shi Xiaoai sneered, "If you want to talk, just say it. If not, get out of here! Don't stand at my door crying in the middle of the night. If someone knows, they'll think you're blackmailing me. If someone doesn't, they'll think my house is haunted!"
Shi Xiaomei clenched her fingers into fists, and her anger turned red from her neck to her ears, but the expression on her face did not change much, and she still looked as if she was about to cry.
She lowered her head again, as if she had suffered a great injustice, and whispered softly: "Sister, I know that our family did something wrong, but in fact we didn't know it in advance. My grandma brought my cousin here without saying hello to anyone, and as soon as she arrived, she asked my mother to vacate the house, saying that she wanted to live in my house.
There are only three rooms in my house. My mother didn't dare to make the decision, so she said to her angrily, "There is no place to live at home. If you want to live, you can find a place yourself."
But who knew that she would actually bring my cousin to cause trouble for you?"
