Chapter 82: Do You Think I’m Blind?

Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee

Scolded as a moron by his two brothers at the same time, Xiao Sa was furious. He shouted, “But can you deny that it is better to let Liu Chengyu show that video to Uncle and Aunt? Xiao Jinning will be finished. Liu Chengyu is with his mom and dad right now. Xiao Jinning and the Liu Family’s engagement will surely be canceled!”

Tang Xi blinked, looked helplessly at her stupid second brother and couldn’t help but say, “Sa, have you ever thought about why Liu Chengyu did this?”

She had found out at school on that day that Liu Chengyu hadn’t looked right when he looked at her. He definitely wanted to hit on her!

Xiao Sa thought about it, but he didn’t know Liu Chengyu was coveting Rourou. At that time, he was only imagining how shocked Uncle and Aunt would be when they found out about Xiao Jinning’s true colors.

Xiao Sa asked, “Then what should we do now?”

Tang Xi smiled helplessly and replied, “Well, let’s just roll with the punches.”

She thought that the real Xiao Rou must hope that her parents wouldn’t wrong her, so she couldn’t make a decision for her. Since Xiao Sa had done this, so be it. She would see if Xiao Hongyi and Lin Ru could awaken to the truth and realize the importance of family affection because of the video. Xiao Sa nodded guiltily and said to Tang Xi, “Rourou, I really didn’t mean it. I really don’t want you to leave our house. I hope you will always be my Rourou.”

Tang Xi smiled and warmth welled up within her. “Of course I know that, and I will always be your Rourou.”

On the other side of things, Xiao Hongyi and Lin Ru incredulously watched the video in Liu Chengyu’s hand, while Xiao Jinning took a sharp step backward. How could this be?

The video wasn’t long, and Xiao Hongyi and Lin Ru were absorbed in watching it.

“If it weren’t for you, a fake pheasant, would Rourou have been abandoned by her biological parents?” This was Xiao Jing’s voice.

Then came Xiao Jinning’s voice. “Me?” They could clearly see the cold smile on her face as she then said, “I’ve been the Xiao Family’s daughter for more than 20 years. Suddenly, someone told me that I was actually not the Xiao Family’s daughter, but a child of a very poor family. And then a country bumpkin appeared in front of me, telling me that she was the Xiao Family’s daughter! Is this fair?! Why should I lose all I have overnight?! Why should I give everything I own to her?! Why did she come back?”

Xiao Jing wanted to leave, but Xiao Jinning stopped him. She shouted again, “Why should I let her take everything from me?! It’s all mine! If she hadn’t come back, I would’ve continued to be the Xiao Family’s baby girl and Mom and Dad’s beloved daughter. It’s all her fault! I lost everything just because of her!”

Lin Ru took an incredulous look at Xiao Jinning and then continued to watch the video. At that moment, Xiao Jing grasped her firmly by the arm, glared at Xiao Jinning and said in a low voice, “Have you lost anything? You framed Rourou for stealing your things, caused her to be driven out of her home by her parents, drove a car into her and almost trampled her to death! Now she can only live in our home because she was abandoned by her biological parents! And you think you’re the victim?”

Lin Ru’s heart sank. The doctor had said that Xiao Rou’s artery had been pressed down hard by something, which almost killed her. Was it Xiao Jinning? She took a look at Xiao Jinning with bloodshot eyes only to see her standing there dumbstruck, and she knew her guess was right.

What kind of person had she been keeping beside her?

Just then, Xiao Jinning’s voice rang out again. They saw Xiao Jinning, with bloodshot eyes and a fierce face, shake off Xiao Jing’s hand and say in a cold voice, “That was her own choice. She chose your family. Why do you blame me?”

Then they heard Xiao Jing sneer and say, “You set her up and made her family turn away from her. How could she return to her parents? Xiao Jinning, if you don’t want Liu Chengyu to find out about your real identity, don’t want him to know that you are actually not the Xiao Family’s daughter and don’t want him to know you’ve been lying to him, then you’d better lay low. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee that I won’t tell him about your secret. If Liu Chengyu finds out that Xiao Rou is the real daughter of the Xiao Family, while you’re just a kid who was mixed up with Rourou, do you think he would still want you? Would he still take care of you like he used to?”

Lin Ru’s mind was completely muddled. Had Xiao Jinning done anything bad to Xiao Rou while she was staying at Xiao Hongli’s home?

Xiao Jinning shouted hysterically, “How can you guys treat me like this?”

Xiao Jinning’s hysterical voice interrupted Lin Ru’s thoughts. Then she heard Xiao Jing say, “How can we? Would you like me to remind you again? Since you’ve taken up Rourou’s place, you’d better behave yourself. Don’t try to frame Rourou over and over again. You trampled on her arteries after she was hit by a car, which almost killed her! We can let it pass and even forget what you did to her in school, but if you dare mess with Rourou again, I swear I’ll make you feel regret!”

Liu Gonghua and Xi Luoxian were both stunned. If they, not knowing this girl’s true colors, had let Chengyu marry her, what would have happened to their family?

Lin Ru burst into tears. Although she had guessed the truth, she didn’t expect she would feel so sad upon hearing it with her own ears!

She raised her head and wanted to ask Xiao Jinning whether this was true. Then she heard Xiao Jinning’s voice say, “She should die! Only when she is dead will I be safe. I’ve done nothing wrong!”

Xiao Jing sneered, “You’re crazy!”

The video then came to an abrupt stop. Lin Ru lunged to her feet, slapped Xiao Jinning in the face and shouted hysterically, “You’re crazy!”

Xiao Jinning didn’t expect Lin Ru would slap her. She froze for two seconds, then hastily grabbed Lin Ru’s hands and said pitifully, “Mom, this isn’t true. This is all Xiao Sa’s conspiracy. They just want to sow discord between you and me. This isn’t true!”

Seeing Xiao Jinning still struggling, Liu Chengyu laughed coldly and said, “I was just behind the pillar at the entrance of the salon, so I heard your conversation clearly. And when did I say I got this video from Xiao Sa?”

Xiao Jinning shook her head in disbelief. Why did the person, who had treated her so tenderly a few hours ago, suddenly push her into the abyss? She shook her head desperately and said, “That’s not me. You just set me up!”

“Set you up?” Lin Ru sneered. “Do you think I’m blind?”
