"Then what do you mean?" Shuxin stared straight at Jiang Tingrou. "Anyone who heard what you said just now would know that you were insulting me and tarnishing my reputation."
"Xin 'er … I'm just worried about you …"
Shuxin interrupted Jiang Tingrou. "If Ling 'er was the one who did this, would you still think that way? You would only be happy for her and proud of her. In the end, it's because I'm not your biological daughter. "
"I …" Jiang Tingrou bit her lips and turned to look at Shu Youkang with a wronged expression. Tears had already formed in her eyes. "Youkang, you know that I've always treated Xin 'er as my own …"
"Alright, don't say such things in the future." Shu Youkang frowned and interrupted Jiang Tingrou. "Xin 'er is right. As a mother, the first thing you should be proud of is that you have a daughter like her, instead of doubting and slandering her without any basis."
"Youkang …" Jiang Tingrou's tears flowed out. "Why do you think of me like that too …"
"Alright, why are you crying? You're the one who slandered Xin 'er. Xin' er didn't even say anything about you, yet you're crying." Shu Youkang's brows furrowed even tighter. "Let's eat."
Jiang Tingrou lowered her head and wiped her tears. Her tear-filled eyes were hazy, but when she raised her head to eat, she looked gentle and weak again.
Shuxin's lips curled into a mocking smile. Like mother, like daughter. Both mother and daughter were the same.
There was a moment of silence at the dining table.
Shu Mengling gave Jiang Tingrou a look.
Jiang Tingrou blinked knowingly, then picked up a piece of chicken and placed it in Shuxin's bowl. She said apologetically, "Xin 'er, Aunt Rou was wrong just now. Don't take it to heart. This is your favorite braised spicy chicken. I'm afraid Little Xiao can't make it this good. You haven't eaten it for more than a month, eat more."
Shu Mengling added fuel to the fire and said in a sweet voice, "That's right. Brother Ruize doesn't know how to cook. Sister is the one who cooks with Brother Ruize when we live together. Sister has never done any household chores. It's really hard being with Brother Ruize."
Shuxin watched the mother and daughter echo each other. She sneered in her heart. They were acting again. If she didn't cooperate, how would she be worthy of their efforts?
Shuxin put down her chopsticks and lowered her head, looking as if she had done something wrong. "I've indeed suffered a lot with Ruize recently. Washing clothes, cooking, finding a job to earn money …"
She then looked at Shu Youkang guiltily. "Now I know that without Father's love, I'm nothing. I feel that Ruize and I might not be suitable for each other, so I plan to break up with him."
"That won't do." Shu Mengling was anxious and blurted out without thinking.
Shuxin looked up in confusion and asked, "Ling 'er, why not? Do you think I should abandon Father for Ruize?"
Shu Mengling's face turned pale. "That's not what I meant …"
"Last time, you advised me to break up with Father first and capture Ruize's heart. Then, you'll coax Father. You even said that Father dotes on me and won't abandon me. That way, you'll be killing two birds with one stone …"
"Sister, why are you …"
