When they arrived at Yihexuan, Xiao Xiao ordered some of Ji Ling's favorite breakfasts. No one knew what was wrong with Ji Ling today. He kept trying to get into Xiao Xiao's arms and refused to sit on the dining chair.
Xiao Xiao was helpless and looked down at him, "Ji Ling, what are you doing? How can Mommy eat if you sit on her?"
"Mommy, I remember what happened yesterday. Last night, Grandpa brought me to Tan Garden and told me that I would not be allowed to see Mommy anymore..." As he spoke, his little face looked very sad.
Xiao Xiao felt a pain in her heart and hugged him, "No, your great-grandfather was joking with you. Look, aren't you with Mommy now? How could you not see Mommy?"
"Really?" Ji Ling raised his head, his big eyes wet.
Xiao Xiao's heart melted at once. She kissed him and said, "Yes, it's true. I heard that you cried very sadly at Grandpa Zeng's house last night?"
"Well, I cried because they said they wouldn't let me come back."
Xiao Xiao reached out and touched his head. "Not again, Ji Ling. Mommy won't let you leave me."
She assured softly, Ji Ling's eyes curved and he smiled, "Yeah!"
"Okay, now sit on the dining chair and eat."
"Okay!" Ji Ling returned to the dining chair and stuffed a shrimp dumpling into his mouth in a good mood.
Xiao Xiao immediately said, "Ji Ling, don't eat so fast. Be careful not to choke. Eat slowly. Don't be in a hurry."
After a moment, the phone beside me vibrated.
Xiao Xiao lowered her eyebrows and saw that it was Xiao Ru's call, so she picked up the phone directly.
Xiao Ru yelled on the other end of the phone: "Xiao Xiao, why did you stop my tuition? What do you mean?"
"Obviously, what I mean is that I will only support my own parents in the future and will not care about other idle people. If you want to attend training classes, you can earn money to attend them yourself."
"You just don't want to help me, right? Can't you see me living a good life?"
Xiao Xiao sneered, "Whether you are doing well or not, what does it have to do with me? I am not interested in knowing, nor am I curious."
"Xiao Xiao, not only did you stop my phone bill, you also reduced my parents' living expenses. You are a celebrity, and you can earn tens of millions by taking on a TV series. Now you are so stingy to my parents. Do you have a clear conscience?"
"Both my parents are in their fifties. Their daily life now is just taking a walk and chatting with neighbors. What else do they do? The nanny does the cooking and housework. I pay for the food. Isn't the 10,000 yuan pocket money every month enough for them to play mahjong? As for the big purchases and hospital expenses, I still pay for them. What have I done wrong? Do I need to feel guilty?"
"Don't think I don't know. You are clearly threatening us!"
"Threat?" Xiao Xiao raised her eyebrows when she heard the word, and found it very funny. "Oh, giving my parents a house to live in, hiring a nanny for them, and giving them pocket money to spend, in the end, this is called a threat?"
"You just hold a grudge against us for what we said to Mrs. Ji." Xiao Ru said in a cold voice.
Xiao Xiao curled her lips, "It's good enough that you know it. If you have the ability to buy a mountain view house or a Lamborghini, go buy it yourself. Do you want to rely on me? Xiao Ru, I tell you, don't even think about it. Also, don't look for me in the future. I'm very busy at work and don't have that much time to listen to your nonsense."
"Xiao Xiao, if you treat me like this, I won't let you go."
"Whatever you want!" After saying that, Xiao Xiao hung up the phone.
"Mommy, who called you?" Ji Ling turned his head and asked.
"No one." Xiao Xiao smiled and picked up a crispy red sausage for Ji Ling. "Eat it. We're going to the zoo later."
Xiao Xiao took Ji Ling to the zoo for a day. Ji Ling was so happy that he kept hugging Xiao Xiao's neck and shouting excitedly.
Xiao Xiao looked at her son's happy expression and a faint smile appeared on her face.
At night, when I returned to the apartment, Ji Ling was already asleep, curled up in the back seat like a kitten.
Xiao Xiao smiled and picked him up, "Ji Ling, we are home now, let's go to sleep."
I got into the elevator and went straight up to the 18th floor.
As soon as the elevator door opened, Xiao Xiao's parents rushed over. Xiao's mother asked anxiously, "Xiao, why did you stop your sister's tuition without even telling her? Do you know how sad she is crying at home now?"
Xiao Xiao had a blank expression on her face and just made a gesture to keep quiet, meaning that Ji Ling had fallen asleep and they could talk later.
The nanny knocked on the door, and Xiao Xiao's parents immediately went in.
Xiao Xiao had no choice but to carry Ji Ling into the bedroom, asked the nanny to look after her, and went back to the living room.
When Xiao's mother saw her come out, she immediately stood up and asked the same question, "Xiao, why did you stop paying your sister's tuition? Your sister is doing well in school."
Xiao Xiao said: "Mom, please sit down first."
Mother Xiao had no choice but to sit down first.
Father Xiao sat next to him, smoking silently.
Xiao Xiao sat down, poured herself a glass of warm water, drank a few sips, put it down, and then slowly said: "Dad, Mom, I have something to announce to you."
Xiao's father and mother looked at her at the same time.
Xiao Xiao said calmly: "From now on, I will have it if I take care of you, but I won't have it if I take care of my sister."
"Xiao Xiao, what are you talking about? That person is your biological sister!" Mother Xiao stood up again, and the worry between her brows made Xiao Xiao feel heartbroken.
Xiao Xiao said calmly: "Anyway, you don't need to say anything. I won't care about her anymore. She has the ability to earn money to pay for her tuition. Don't even think about getting a penny from me."
"Aren't you being too heartless and ungrateful? Xiao, you and your sister are a family, you are related by blood. When your father and I are gone, your sister will be the only one you can rely on. Now that you are doing well, how can you not help her? Do you want the two sisters to become enemies and never have any contact with each other for the rest of their lives?"
"That would be the best." Xiao Xiao held a water cup in her hand with a cold expression, "If she really doesn't want to associate with me, that would be what I want."
"How did you become like this? Xiao, you were not like this before. You used to be very obedient, why did you become like this now? Now that you are so rich, don't you care about your sister's life or death? She is already 28 years old this year and has accomplished nothing. Shouldn't you help her?" Xiao's mother kept saying these words of moral kidnapping.
Xiao Xiao's face was gloomy, and she said in a sonorous voice: "What happens to her has nothing to do with me. I just need to take care of you and myself. I can't control anything else."
"You think you're high and mighty now because you have a few bucks, don't you? That's your sister. If she doesn't live well in the future, it's because of your parents' hard work. Can't you treat her better for the sake of us two old people? Your father and I are both over 50 this year. Can you bear to see your father and I worry about your sister's future and lose sleep every night?"
"Mom, please stop talking. I don't want to hear any of this. Anyway, I will not change my decision to sit down."
Mother Xiao nodded and sneered, "Okay, I didn't expect you to be so heartless to your sister. If a person is truly kind to her family, then she will have many blessings. But if a person is ruthless and not kind to her family, then she will only have bad luck in her life..."
Hearing this, Xiao Xiao raised her head abruptly, her pupils shrank tightly, and she said angrily: "Whatever she did wrong was right, and I, I have given so much to you, but in the end, you say that I am ungrateful and will have bad luck. Ha, you are really good parents to me!"
Mother Xiao wanted to argue with her, but at this time, the cell phone rang.
Mother Xiao took out her cell phone and saw that it was Xiao Ru calling. She answered immediately, "Xiao Ru, what's wrong?"
"Mom, is Dad with you?" Xiao Ru choked up on the other end of the phone, "I'm calling you to say goodbye. I feel so sad. Mom, I don't want to live anymore..."
Hearing this, Mother Xiao's eyes widened and she said anxiously, "Xiao Ru, please don't do anything stupid, otherwise your father and I will not be able to bear it."
"What's wrong with Xiaoru?" Father Xiao suddenly stood up and asked Mother Xiao.
"Xiaoru said she doesn't want to live anymore..." Mother Xiao said as tears fell.
Father Xiao quickly answered the phone, "Xiao Ru, what's wrong with you? Don't be upset."
"Dad, I'm 28 years old this year and have not achieved anything. I finally found a training class that I'm interested in, but my sister ruined my future. Dad, Mom, I feel useless and I don't want to live anymore. I called you to tell you that your daughter loves you very much. If there is an afterlife, I hope I can still be your daughter..." Xiao Ru's voice was intermittent and miserable.
