Chapter 1210: The Identity Was Exposed After All

Xu Xiaoxiao's words were like a gentle spring.

Slowly nourishing Chi Rong's parched heart.

And helping her... sprout a little bit of hope.

Under Chi Rong's unwavering gaze, Xu Xiaoxiao said again: "According to what you said, your son and daughter-in-law are both excellent, so if they separate, they will surely each have their own brilliance, so let's just wish them well."

Wish them well?

Chi Rong fell silent.

In an instant, many images flashed through her mind.

Most of them were unhappy.

If she let Liu Xin'ai experience these things too...

Chi Rong shook her head immediately.

Then she murmured softly: "They are both smart children, let them solve it themselves; no matter what, it certainly won't be like me back then, leaving behind a muddled mess."

Seeing that Chi Rong was no longer struggling, Xu Xiaoxiao showed a relieved smile.

The next second, Xu Xiaoxiao noticed Chi Rong looking over.

She even said: "Thank you for being willing to listen to my nagging and helping me untie my heart's knot."

"Your voice is so pleasant to listen to, how is that nagging? It is clearly reading a prose poem that time has given you. Besides, the person who truly untied your heart's knot is yourself."

Xu Xiaoxiao had a sweet tongue, which made Chi Rong laugh.

It also made Chi Rong's voice a bit more relaxed: "Without your comfort, I would still be stuck in a dead end."

"That only shows that I am very good at chatting with people."

"This is not just a simple chat; you are a soul mentor to others."

Receiving such an evaluation, Xu Xiaoxiao could not help but show a proud little expression.

Seeing her like this, Chi Rong hesitated for a moment, but finally, she thickened her skin and made a decision: "It seems that in the future, I will inevitably have to bother you."

"No problem!"

She agreed readily.

Afterwards, Xu Xiaoxiao regretted it.

She rubbed the back of her head and negotiated: "But before you come, you must tell me; I have to let the auntie come over to tidy up, otherwise... I'm afraid it will scare you."

Chi Rong's smile deepened, and she said: "Or I can help you tidy up."

"No, no, no, I still want to maintain a wise image in your heart; I don't want to be associated with a pig."

Associated with a pig?

Chi Rong didn't understand the connection for a moment.

But after thinking about it carefully for a while...

She curled her lips and laughed out loud.

At this moment, Xu Xiaoxiao also relaxed quite a bit.

She was even planning to send a message to Liu Xin'ai in a while to let her set her mind at ease.

Considering it was getting late, Chi Rong prepared to leave.

Xu Xiaoxiao did not try to keep her much longer.

However, she and Chi Rong made an appointment for the next time they would meet.

The two of them walked toward the outside of the apartment while chatting.

The atmosphere between them was very harmonious.

But just at the entrance outside the apartment, someone walked over in a rush.

Qin Yiyan had found this place based on Chi Rong's mobile phone location.

However, the location could not be precise to the floor and unit number.

Qin Yiyan could only find the apartment's Security Guard first, ask for the surveillance video, and then determine his mother's location.

As a result, before he could even find the Security Guard, he actually saw his mother and Xu Xiaoxiao!

And looking at the way these two were chatting happily...

They clearly knew each other!

Qin Yiyan was surprised and puzzled; he walked up to Xu Xiaoxiao and asked her: "Why are you with my mother?"

Facing the suddenly appearing Qin Yiyan, Xu Xiaoxiao was startled!

Chi Rong was full of surprise and asked first: "Do you know Miss Xu?"

"How could I not know her? She is Xin'ai's good friend!"

In the span of a few words,

Qin Yiyan's gaze fixed on Xu Xiaoxiao had already changed.

He did not want to overcomplicate things.

It was just that...

Connecting the dots, Qin Yiyan became increasingly convinced that Xu Xiaoxiao was conspiring with Liu Xin'ai!

Xu Xiaoxiao did indeed have her own little thoughts.

But it had nothing to do with Liu Xin'ai.

Facing the sudden turn of events, she was a bit at a loss.

And Chi Rong was even more at a loss than her!

She stared fixedly at Xu Xiaoxiao and confirmed with her: "You... are really Xin'ai's friend!?"

Xu Xiaoxiao's identity was exposed after all.

The only thing she could do at this moment was to play dumb.

And with a tone of surprise, she said to Chi Rong, "I really didn't expect... that you are Liu Xin'ai's mother-in-law."

Xu Xiaoxiao's admission made Chi Rong feel utterly ashamed.

Because the two of them were no longer two people with no connection.

Chi Rong had become an elder to Xu Xiaoxiao.

And as an elder, she had actually spoken of her fragile side and her inner secrets to a junior...

Chi Rong felt extremely awkward!

At this moment, she only wanted to leave this place as quickly as possible!

But then another person appeared in a hurry.

Bai Yufei had previously called Qin Yiyan.

She had also followed along, using the excuse of being worried about her mother.

But Bai Yufei's worry... was different from Qin Yiyan's.

She had prepared to find a way to distance herself the moment she saw Chi Rong.

And then dump the blame for her mother leaving without saying goodbye onto Liu Xin'ai!

As a result...

She saw Xu Xiaoxiao instead!!

Because she was too shocked, Bai Yufei forgot to show concern for Chi Rong first, and instead said to Xu Xiaoxiao in a questioning tone, "Why are you here!?"

"Because I am right here."

Bai Yufei snorted.

Then she warned Xu Xiaoxiao without any courtesy:

"You had better behave yourself; my brother has already forbidden you from coming to

our house. If you dare to pull any more tricks, watch out, or you won't have a place to stand in this city!!"

Bai Yufei's words made Qin Yiyan frown.

They also made Chi Rong slowly lift her head and ask, "Who do you want to have no place to stand?"

Her mother's words made Bai Yufei suddenly turn into a little mouse.

In fact, Bai Yufei was not usually this afraid of Chi Rong.

At this moment...

It was entirely because she was worried that Chi Rong would tell Qin Yiyan about their argument.

But Bai Yufei was overthinking it.

Because Chi Rong had no intention of spreading that matter around at all.

After all...

It was she who had failed to raise her daughter well.

Thinking again of Bai Yufei's rudeness toward Xu Xiaoxiao, Chi Rong apologized on her daughter's behalf: "This daughter of mine has always been outspoken; please excuse her."

Xu Xiaoxiao curled the corners of her lips and replied, "There's no need to excuse her; I have long since learned what kind of conduct Miss Bai has."

Compared to Bai Yufei, Xu Xiaoxiao's demeanor was calm and poised.

She even secretly gave Bai Yufei a warning.

Comparing the two...

Chi Rong felt even more the vulgarity of her own daughter.

She felt that it was she who had failed to teach her daughter well.

That was why Bai Yufei had a bad personality, poor character, and furthermore... was not kind enough.

But just as Xu Xiaoxiao said, Chi Rong had already done her best.

So at this moment, she only felt regret.

And not self-reproach.

Taking a deep breath, Chi Rong said to the few young people, "You all go get busy; I can go back by myself."

Qin Yiyan said with an attitude that brooked no refusal, "I will take you."

Bai Yufei also joined in the excitement: "I want to take you too!"

But Chi Rong shook her head, her tone gentle yet firm: "No one needs to; I can go back by myself."

Her mother's refusal left Qin Yiyan puzzled.

He

lightly frowned: "Why must you refuse? Are you angry with me? Or... are you angry with someone else?"
