Chapter 1576: Paying for a Lesson

Thanks, but I really don't need a model to give Cai Xiaotang face!

Besides, her daughter might not necessarily reach the heights she expects!

Cai Xiaotang rested her chin on her hand, thinking about how to drive this mother and daughter away.

At this moment, Cheng Xueli suddenly narrowed her eyes and questioned: "Did Xiao Xiao say something to you?"

Xu Xiaoxiao had indeed said something to Cai Xiaotang.

But her evaluation was not the main factor in Cai Xiaotang changing her attitude.

Lifting her eyes to look at the mother and daughter opposite, Cai Xiaotang said: "She didn't say anything."

Cheng Xueli did not believe it!

She even sneered: "If she really didn't, why do you suddenly have such an opinion of us?"

Cai Xiaotang answered with a question: "Mrs. Xu, when you are questioning others, shouldn't you reflect on yourself?"

"What should I reflect on? I haven't done anything wrong!"

Cheng Xueli's expression was open and honest; she truly did not feel that she had any problems.

And this, perhaps, was the biggest problem of all!

Cai Xiaotang felt that this mother and daughter simply had warped values.

Communicating with such people is very exhausting, and it will not have any effect.

Cai Xiaotang did not want to waste any more time, so she wanted to invite them out.

But since the other party was Xu Xiaoxiao's family after all, Cai Xiaotang needed to find a reason that wouldn't hurt their face too much.

As for this reason...

Cai Xiaotang had no clue!

So annoying!

Just as Cai Xiaotang was becoming increasingly agitated, Li Xiao returned.

The moment she saw Li Xiao, Cai Xiaotang felt as if she had seen a savior!

She rubbed her forehead and murmured softly: "Hubby, I'm tired."

"If you're tired, go rest."

"But, there are still guests here."

As she spoke, Cai Xiaotang signaled for Li Xiao to look at the mother and daughter.

Li Xiao didn't even look; he didn't care what their status was—in any case, nothing was more important than his wife resting.

Li Xiao turned his head slightly, not even giving the other party a glance, and said coldly: "The two of you, my wife is pregnant and needs to rest, so I hope you can accommodate us."

The aura Li Xiao radiated was very oppressive, and he carried a chill about him that made people shiver involuntarily.

In any case, Cheng Xueli and her daughter didn't dare say another word; after exchanging a few polite remarks, they left in a hurry.

Walking out the front door, Cheng Xueli still had lingering fears.

Xu Zixin's heart was also beating very fast.

Thinking of Li Xiao's handsome and charismatic face, she murmured: "Cai Xiaotang's husband is really handsome, but he's too cold; he doesn't look as amiable as Jiang Chenghao."

Cheng Xueli was speechless: "What time is it, and you're still thinking about these things!"

"Why not think about it? If you have both a career and love, wouldn't that be great?"

This...

Cheng Xueli pondered for a moment and suddenly saw the light.

Her eyes shining, she said to her daughter: "Find a rich and powerful boyfriend, and you'll have resources; are you still afraid you won't be famous? By then, even Cai Xiaotang will have to look at you with new eyes!"

Xu Zixin thought so too.

And through the matter with Cai Xiaotang, she craved power even more.

Those resources she couldn't even touch were just a matter of a single word in the eyes of the wealthy!

Such a contrast was truly fascinating!

The corners of Xu Zixin's mouth curled up, and her eyes flashed with excitement.

But Cai Xiaotang in the room could not get excited.

She leaned on Li Xiao's shoulder and murmured: "They finally left!"

"If you don't like them, just drive them away."

"I wanted to, but they are Xiao Xiao's mother and sister; it's not good to make things too awkward."

This connection surprised Li Xiao quite a bit.

Thinking of Cheng Xueli and her daughter, then thinking of Xu Xiaoxiao, Li Xiao commented: "Xu Xiaoxiao is very different from her mother and sister."

It wasn't just her appearance that was different; her temperament was different too.

Cai Xiaotang also knew they were different, but she hadn't thought about it deeply before.

Now that she thought about it carefully...

Cai Xiaotang sat up straight and murmured: "No matter how I look at it, I don't think someone with Xiao Xiao's personality could have such a mother and sister! There must be a problem here!"

Oh my, if the problem isn't solved, it's truly maddening!

Cai Xiaotang thought for a moment, then picked up her phone and murmured: "I have to ask Xin'ai about it!"

"Why not ask Xu Xiaoxiao directly?"

"I've talked to Xiao Xiao before, and I feel like she has something she finds hard to say. But Xin'ai has known Xiao Xiao for many years, so she must know her situation!"

As she spoke, Cai Xiaotang dialed Liu Xin'ai's number.

The call connected, and Cai Xiaotang didn't beat around the bush; she told Liu Xin'ai directly about the matter with Cheng Xueli and her daughter.

Along the way, she also complained about them a bit.

Cai Xiaotang's snarky remark immediately resonated with Liu Xin'ai.

She even listed several bizarre incidents that had happened to that mother and daughter.

With that, Cai Xiaotang's desire to vent was completely ignited!

The two good friends faced their phones and began to comment without any reservations.

Li Xiao sat beside Cai Xiaotang, watching her excited expression, and couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.

Not until her mouth was dry did Cai Xiaotang hang up the phone.

Afterwards, she announced to Li Xiao, "Case closed, Cheng Xueli is Xiao Xiao's stepmother!"

Li Xiao revealed a look of realization: "No wonder; it seems their relationship is quite ordinary."

"It's not just ordinary; they can't even maintain a facade of harmony! Otherwise, Xiao Xiao wouldn't have told me not to interfere in Xu Zixin's affairs."

"Since that's the case, then don't get involved; next time they come, find an excuse to send them away."

Cai Xiaotang nodded quickly; she didn't want to see such bizarre people even once.

Thinking back on her own misplaced kindness, spending fifty thousand yuan to buy someone a bag...

Sigh, forget it, forget it, I won't think about it; just treat it as paying money for a lesson!

Cai Xiaotang sighed.

She forced herself to forget the unhappiness.

In the following days, Cheng Xueli actually did come to visit Cai Xiaotang.

But the servants didn't let her in at all.

In the end, Cheng Xueli was so angry she started cursing.

But she didn't dare to curse too loudly; she just cursed at the servants for a few moments, and left immediately after, terrified that they might follow her.

As for Xu Zixin, she didn't go with Cheng Xueli.

She... had more important things to do!

After attending a business event, Jiang Chenghao returned to the company, preparing to rest for a moment before a meeting.

But to his surprise, there was someone sitting in his office.

The person heard his footsteps, turned her head with a shy expression, and said with sparkling eyes, "Brother Cheng Hao, you're back!"

Jiang Chenghao was somewhat surprised and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I know Brother Cheng Hao works hard, so I brought you some nourishing soup."

As she spoke, Xu Zixin picked up a thermal lunch box.

Jiang Chenghao didn't even look at it and said, "No need, thank you."

"I brewed this for you with my own hands; please drink some, otherwise I will be sad."

While speaking, Xu Zixin opened the lid and even ladled a bowl for Jiang Chenghao.

The scent of the soup was very pleasant and also very familiar.

Jiang Chenghao remembered a restaurant near the company that sold soup with this exact smell.

He looked at Xu Zixin with cold eyes, not exposing Xu Zixin's lie.
