Jiang Lingxue grabbed her adoptive mother’s hand anxiously and tried to explain, “Mom, she’s been like this since young. She likes to talk nonsense. Let’s ignore her.”
Jiang Lingxue’s adoptive mother looked at Ji Yuanyuan deeply. Then, she smiled and left with Jiang Lingxue.
Behind him, Ji Yuanyuan deliberately said in a low voice, “Second Brother, don’t swear in the future. A child was like a blank piece of paper. They were easily influenced by the people around them.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lingxue’s adoptive mother stopped in her tracks.
After Jiang Lingxue’s adoptive mother left with Jiang Lingxue, Ji Yuanyuan finally put down her innocent face.
She looked around and found the salesperson to ask about the doll.
There were still some in the warehouse, so the salesperson immediately went to help look for them.
A few of them waited on the spot.
“Shen Lingxue has changed a lot in the past few years. I didn’t recognize her just now.” Ji Zi’ang sighed.”
“What Shen Lingxue? She’s called Jiang Lingxue now.” Ji Yuanyuan chuckled.
“Tsk, who cares what Xue? Even if she changes her name a hundred times, she’s still the daughter of that mistress.”
“I think she’ll have an explanation when she return.” Ji Zixuan said thoughtfully.
After saying that, he looked at Ji Yuanyuan, “You were too obvious just now. It was obvious you were deliberately bringing up the past.”
Ji Yuanyuan’s lips twitched.
She lowered her head and covered Li Xiang’s ears. She could not help but complain, “This Jiang Lingxue is really stupid. She didn’t run as far away as possible when she saw us.”
“She wants to show off. She wants us to know she has found a good family and is no longer the little orphan girl from before, “Ji Zi’ang said disdainfully.
Ji Yuanyuan let go of Li Xiang’s ear and the salesperson returned.
He was holding a doll that looked exactly the same as the one just now.
Li Xiang was very happy and did not let go.
With the doll, they brought Li Xiang to the snack section to buy snacks.
Ji Yuanyuan followed behind, still thinking about what had just happened.
She couldn’t forget the past.
She just couldn’t bear to see Jiang Lingxue live comfortably.
She took this opportunity to tell Jiang Lingxue’s adoptive mother everything that happened in the past. It was something she had no idea about before.
After all, the orphanage wanted to find a good family for the child. They would not tell the adoptive family everything about the child’s past.
They knew how to pick the good ones and hide the bad ones.
Moreover, it was hard to say whether the welfare institute knew about Jiang Lingxue’s past.
No matter how great a woman was, it was impossible for her heart not to be affected when she found out her adopted daughter’s biological mother had been a mistress and cheated people’s money.
Moreover, there was a high chance Jiang Lingxue had lied about the past.
If this woman was serious, she could go to Jiang Lingxue’s village and ask around. She would know who was telling the truth.
Most importantly, she was pregnant and about to have her own child.
Before she had her own child, she could treat Jiang Lingxue as her own.
But after having her own child, could she still do it?
Even if she could, how could Jiang Lingxue not be jealous of her brother or sister?
At the thought of this, Ji Yuanyuan could not help but laugh.
A blunt knife could sometimes hurt people more.
Jiang Lingxue had just seen the light of dawn in her life. Now, that light might be extinguished.
Ji Yuanyuan stopped in her tracks as she suddenly thought of something.
After a moment of hesitation, she quickly went forward and grabbed his arm, “Big Brother, accompany me to a place.”
Ji Zixuan nodded and was about to leave with Ji Yuanyuan.
Ji Zi’ang quickly grabbed his other arm, “What? Where are you going?”
“I want to see where they live,” Ji Yuanyuan whispered.
“That’s not too good, right?” Ji Zixuan hesitated.”
Ji Zi’ang immediately stood beside Ji Yuanyuan, “Since Big Brother doesn’t want to go, 1’11 go with you!”
He said righteously.
If he stayed with Li Xiang, he would have to pay for all the things she had bought.
Just this doll alone already cost over eighty yuan.
“No!” Ji Zixuan’s expression turned serious. “You bring her home!”
When Ji Zi’ang heard this, he still wanted to fight for himself.
They had been brothers for so many years and had even slept together for so many years. How could he not know what Ji Zi’ang was thinking?
He immediately took out his wallet and took out a 100-yuan note, stuffing it into his hand. “Alright, alright. Hurry up and bring her home.”
Ji Zi’ang took the money happily and did not say that he wanted to go with them.
After giving the money, Ji Zixuan was pulled by Ji Yuanyuan and chased after Jiang Lingxue and her mother.
Jiang Lingxue’s adoptive mother was pregnant, so she walked very slowly.
Ji Yuanyuan and Ji Zixuan soon saw them.
Two shelves away, Ji Yuanyuan pretended to be choosing something.
Ji Zixuan stood beside her and asked softly, “What’s the use of knowing where they live? Just like you said, the past is the past. She’s already dead. Let’s just live our own lives. Don’t bother about her.”
To Ji Zixuan, Jiang Lingxue was just the daughter of a mistress who destroyed their family.
Now that Shen Mei was dead, his hatred for Jiang Lingxue had mostly dissipated.
However, it was not the case for Ji Yuanyuan!
Jiang Lingxue was not only the daughter of the mistress who destroyed their family but also the enemy who killed their entire family.
She did not intend to let Jiang Lingxue off, so naturally, the more she knew about her, the better.
In front, the mother and daughter did not shop anymore. Instead, they walked straight to the cashier.
Although the two of them were holding hands, they did not speak along the way.
Jiang Lingxue and her mother came out of the supermarket, went to the parking lot in front of the supermarket, and drove away.
Ji Yuanyuan and Ji Zixuan quickly hailed a taxi and followed.
When the driver heard that the two of them were following the car in front, he was a little unhappy.
Ji Zixuan took out another 50 yuan from his wallet, “There’s an additional 50 yuan on top of the fare.”
Seeing this, the driver took the 50 yuan, stepped on the accelerator, and set off.
The two of them followed them all the way and soon arrived at the entrance of a residential area.
Jiang Lingxue’s adoptive mother drove the car into the neighborhood. The taxi couldn’t get in, so they stopped outside.
They paid and got out of the car.
The neighborhood restricted cars from entering and leaving, but not people.
The two of them entered the residential area and watched Jiang Lingxue and her brother go upstairs. They then stopped following them.
“I didn’t expect it to be so close to our house.”Ji Zixuan murmured as they walked out of the neighborhood.
This residential area was only two intersections away from their home, about one or two kilometers away.
He did not expect it to be so close..
