Chapter 1569: Her Boyfriend Is Being Coveted by Others

~7 min read 1,398 words

The other party's overly enthusiastic gesture made Xu Xiaoxiao uncomfortable.

She gently pushed the other person away and saw a fashionably dressed middle-aged woman standing there with a smile on her face.

This person was Xu Xiaoxiao's stepmother, Cheng Xueli.

Don't let her smile fool you; her eyes were very shrewd, and a single sweep of her gaze from top to bottom was enough to determine the price of the other person's entire outfit.

And this outfit of Xu Xiaoxiao's...

It was worth a fortune!

The clothes Xu Xiaoxiao was wearing at this moment were ones Chi Rong had bought and given to her when they went shopping together previously.

However, Xu Xiaoxiao did not look at them differently just because they were luxury goods.

She threw them in the washing machine just the same and then hung them casually in the wardrobe.

However, because the tailoring and design were good, they were comfortable to wear, and the color coordination was also nice, Xu Xiaoxiao would choose them when she didn't know what to wear.

After finishing her assessment, Cheng Xueli asked with feigned concern: "Why has Xiao Xiao lost weight, and why do you look so haggard?"

At this moment, Father Xu pushed several suitcases and arrived belatedly with Xu Zixin.

Xu Xiaoxiao glanced at Xu Zixin and said, "No matter how thin I get, I'm still not as thin as Xu Zixin."

Xu Zixin tossed her long curly hair and huffed, "I'm a model, of course I have to maintain my figure!"

Standing together, this pair of sisters from the Xu family looked to be about the same height.

But their looks and personalities were worlds apart.

Xu Zixin had a sweet appearance, with big eyes like grapes.

Plus, she was very good at dressing up, making her a beauty through and through.

It was just that her beauty lacked character.

Very much like a mass-produced beauty from an assembly line.

As for Xu Xiaoxiao, she didn't like to dress up, her hair was very short, and she wore a neutral style, like a tomboy.

But now...

Her hair had grown longer, there was a bit more charm at the corners of her eyes and brows, and her features were no longer plain, exuding a sense of aloofness and high-class beauty.

And these were exactly the things that Xu Zixin, as a model, naturally lacked.

Xu Zixin pursed her lips, feeling both jealous and disgusted toward Xu Xiaoxiao in her heart.

Xu Xiaoxiao did not have the convoluted thoughts that Xu Zixin did.

Hearing Cheng Xueli's words, she said with a half-smile: "You're still dreaming of being a model?"

"You're the one dreaming; I've already shot several commercials!"

Xu Zixin retorted immediately, as if she had eaten gunpowder.

And the way she shouted was particularly ill-mannered.

Father Xu called out: "Zixin, don't talk to your sister like that!"

Cheng Xueli said at this moment: "Zixin is just anxious; she also wants to make her sister happy for her achievements."

"Oh my, but one must still pay attention to their attitude."

"The child is grown, she understands."

The couple coordinated very well, one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop.

And so, the matter of Xu Zixin's bad attitude toward others was brushed aside.

Xu Xiaoxiao naturally understood the couple's ploy.

She couldn't be bothered to comment on anything, sneered, and then touched a sore spot: "Zixin should be graduating this year, right?"

Graduating?

Xu Zixin rarely went to school to attend classes and had already been expelled!

But Xu Zixin didn't want to be looked down upon by Xu Xiaoxiao, so she said: "I'm not in good health, so I took a leave of absence first."

Not in good health?

With Xu Zixin's rosy complexion, how did she look like she was in poor health?

In any case, Xu Xiaoxiao didn't believe it.

Xu Xiaoxiao looked at her father again and noticed he was sighing.

Hmm, now she understood; it turned out this was another result of Xu Zixin crying and making a scene.

Xu Zixin had been like this since she was a child; once she was willful, the family would give in.

Did they think this was loving her and tolerating her?

Not at all; they would only ruin her!

But Xu Xiaoxiao would not say these words.

She couldn't be bothered to play the villain!

On the surface, Xu Zixin wore an indifferent expression.

But she was secretly observing Xu Xiaoxiao's reaction.

After seeing a flash of mockery in her eyes, she immediately bristled: "What kind of look is that? Do you think that just because we came to rely on you, you're superior? Xu Xiaoxiao, you..."

Xu Zixin was in the middle of ranting.

But suddenly, it was as if a cat had swallowed her tongue, and there was no sound at all.

Xu Xiaoxiao looked over curiously and discovered that Xu Zixin had become gentle and even looked shy.

Strange, was she possessed?

Just as Xu Xiaoxiao was muttering to herself, her shoulder suddenly felt heavy.

She turned her head to look and saw Jiang Chenghao smiling at her, saying: "The car is here."

"Oh," Xu Xiaoxiao replied, then said to the Xu Family, "Let's go."

As Xu Xiaoxiao spoke, she raised her eyes to look at the Xu Family.

Then she discovered... the expressions on the Xu Family's faces were all very colorful.

She saw that Xu Zixin, who had just been acting affectedly, was now staring at the hand Jiang Chenghao had on Xu Xiaoxiao's shoulder as if she had seen a ghost.

As for Cheng Xueli, she looked Jiang Chenghao up and down, and with every glance, she seemed to want to slap a price tag on him.

Father Xu's gaze, meanwhile, wandered back and forth between Xu Xiaoxiao and Jiang Chenghao.

Finally, Father Xu took the initiative to speak, asking, "Who is this?"

"Let me introduce him, my boyfriend, Jiang Chenghao."

"Your boyfriend?!" Xu Zixin shouted as if someone had stepped on her tail.

Cheng Xueli hurriedly squeezed Xu Zixin's hand.

Then she smiled and said to Xu Xiaoxiao, "When did you get a boyfriend? Why didn't you tell the family?"

Xu Zixin added fuel to the fire: "Naturally, her wings have hardened, so she can't be bothered to tell the family about any decisions she makes!"

Heh, this woman, still as eager as ever to stir up trouble!

Xu Xiaoxiao gave Xu Zixin a cold look, then perfunctorily replied, "We only just confirmed our relationship not long ago; there hasn't been time."

Only just confirmed their relationship...

That means their feelings aren't deep yet, right?

Xu Zixin felt she still had a chance, so she immediately squeezed to Jiang Chenghao's side.

Then she tilted her head up, her tone coy: "We just arrived here; in the future, we will inevitably need Brother Cheng Hao's care."

This voice...

Jiang Chenghao silently got a layer of goosebumps.

Then, he walked around to Father Xu's side, helping with the luggage while saying, "Since you are Xiao Xiao's family, I will naturally take care of you. Now, let's set off."

When Jiang Chenghao picked up the luggage, his movements were very handsome.

It was just like a work full of strength sculpted by the most excellent sculptor.

Xu Zixin watched from behind, stars in her eyes.

Seeing this woman swooning over her own boyfriend, Xu Xiaoxiao felt displeased.

However, since this woman hadn't done anything out of line yet, Xu Xiaoxiao didn't lash out.

The vehicle Jiang Chenghao had arranged was a business van.

The group sat in two rows.

The Xu Family sat in the front, and Xu Xiaoxiao and Jiang Chenghao sat in the back.

But Cheng Xueli and her daughter kept turning their heads back.

Xu Zixin was casting flirtatious glances.

Cheng Xueli was asking all sorts of questions, such as: "I wonder what Mr. Jiang does for a living?"

"I manage the family business."

"Oh my, such a talented young man! When I first saw Mr. Jiang, I felt he had an extraordinary temperament."

Xu Zixin was very satisfied with Jiang Chenghao's background.

She nudged her mother with her arm and said, "Calling him Mr. Jiang is too distant; Mom, you should just call him Cheng Hao."

Li Beijue's expression turned extremely grim in an instant; he stood up abruptly and strode out.
