Chapter 1580: Let's Join Forces

Xu Xiaoxiao thought that her eccentric family was likely already known to her friends.

Forget it, if they know, they know; it couldn't be covered up anyway.

Xu Xiaoxiao shook her head and sighed, then returned to her room.

After Cheng Xueli and Xu Zixin returned home, they began to discuss how to fight back.

The situation was currently very unfavorable for them, and furthermore, the strength of the mother and daughter was very limited.

Fortunately... they could still get Father Xu to join in!

When Father Xu returned home exhausted, what awaited him were the miserable wails of his wife and daughter.

And they were making a huge scene.

Father Xu was startled and hurriedly asked, "What is the matter?"

"Ask your eldest daughter! She really has some nerve, teaming up with outsiders to humiliate the two of us!"

Cheng Xueli cried while adding fuel to the fire as she recounted what had happened today.

In her description, they were particularly innocent, just wanting to go and visit Xu Xiaoxiao.

But Xu Xiaoxiao had put on all sorts of airs, turned a blind eye to their goodwill, and even humiliated them!

Cheng Xueli finally laid out her terms: Xu Xiaoxiao must apologize to them.

Otherwise...

The mother and daughter would not go on living!

Father Xu had not had a very pleasant time discussing business today.

Now, hearing these messy affairs, he had even less patience.

He did not want to analyze who was right and who was wrong.

Since Cheng Xueli wanted Xu Xiaoxiao to apologize, he called Xu Xiaoxiao.

Father Xu prepared to vent his anger on Xu Xiaoxiao while simultaneously standing up for Cheng Xueli.

But the result?

After the call connected, Xu Xiaoxiao instead complained about her father at length.

In the end, she even declared that if Cheng Xueli really got sick from anger, she would be responsible for contacting a Doctor.

After saying this, she hung up the phone.

Cheng Xueli was sitting right beside Father Xu and had also heard Xu Xiaoxiao's words.

Immediately, she was so angry she looked like a quail, pointing at the phone and saying, "You saw that, right? She actually cursed me!!"

Father Xu had not been able to vent his pent-up anger, leaving his face looking gloomy.

Seeing his wife complaining, he also chimed in, "This child is truly too excessive!"

"More than excessive, she is an ungrateful wretch! If we don't teach her a lesson, she'll really think her wings have hardened!"

Father Xu had never been retorted by Xu Xiaoxiao before, and at this moment, he felt very resentful.

However...

Father Xu said with reservations, "How are we to teach her a lesson? Behind her back are all sorts of figures we dare not offend!"

"If we can't do it openly, we'll do it behind her back!"

Father Xu turned his head to look and saw that Cheng Xueli's expression was full of scheming.

"You... what do you mean by that?"

"It means..."

Cheng Xueli leaned into Father Xu's ear and whispered something.

And her suggestion left Father Xu hesitating for a moment.

Seeing her husband unwilling to make a decision, Cheng Xueli patted him in anger: "Your daughter doesn't care about you at all, so why are you still soft-hearted? Only by making her hurt will she willingly listen to you and let you manipulate her!"

This last sentence hit exactly what Father Xu was thinking.

Father Xu wanted to do business, but he lacked good resources.

But if he could hitch a ride on the big ship that was the Li Family, he would surely be able to leap over the dragon gate!

Yet...

His own daughter refused to help bridge the connection!

She just watched as her father, at his age, still had to go out and put on a smiling face for everyone!

Fine, since his daughter was being unreasonable, then as a father...

He could only harden his heart and teach her how to behave!

Father Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, then nodded gently at Cheng Xueli.

Seeing that Father Xu had agreed, Cheng Xueli immediately curled her lips.

Heh, Xu Xiaoxiao, your good days are over!

On a dark and windy night, there were two sneaky figures outside the school where Xu Xiaoxiao worked.

They made sure there was no one around, then took out flyers they had printed earlier and pasted them onto a tree trunk.

By the dim light of the streetlamp, one could see photos and text printed on the flyers.

The person in the photo was none other than Xu Xiaoxiao!

As for the text...

It was all accusations against Xu Xiaoxiao.

It claimed her private life was unseemly, her orientation was unclear, that she smoked and drank while in school, and even helped classmates cheat, and so on.

Xu Xiaoxiao had indeed been rebellious and had done some unreliable things to some extent.

But what adolescent child isn't rebellious?

Xu Xiaoxiao was so suffocated by her bizarre family that she wanted to use outrageous acts to rebel.

Yet even if they were outrageous, they weren't as exaggerated as what was written on the flyers.

The things on them were all fabricated based on half-truths.

And the person who could be so familiar, so understanding, and weave lies that could strike at the heart, was naturally...

Father Xu and Cheng Xueli.

At this moment, the two people sneaking around posting flyers were also them.

But just at this time...

"What are you doing?"

In the silence, a man's voice suddenly rang out.

This scared Father Xu and Cheng Xueli so much that they hurriedly touched their faces.

Fortunately, they were wearing masks!

With his nerves steadied a little, Father Xu turned around.

Then he saw a man wearing a hat standing not far away.

The man even tore a flyer off a tree trunk and began to read it with great interest.

Father Xu couldn't quite figure out this person's game, so he tentatively asked, "What do you want?"

The man did not answer Father Xu; instead, he mocked, "Do you really think you can hurt Xu Xiaoxiao with this? Naive!"

This person's words made Father Xu angry.

He even snatched the flyer away and huffed, "It's none of your business!"

"Hey, I can't help but make it my business."

Cheng Xueli thought of something and shouted at him fiercely, "You must be Xu Xiaoxiao's friend, wanting to curry favor with her, right!"

"A friend?"

The man let out a cold snort at such an assumption.

It was this very cold snort that made Father Xu sense something unusual.

His eyes darted around, and Father Xu tentatively asked, "Do you have a grudge against Xu Xiaoxiao?"

"That's right, it's because of her that my wife divorced me!"

The man speaking at this moment was none other than the guy who had filed a complaint against Xu Xiaoxiao a while ago.

The man's name was Wang Qiang.

He had previously trusted Xu Xiaoxiao, believing that by receiving Xu Xiaoxiao's treatment, his personality would change and he would give his wife a sense of security, so their marital relationship wouldn't have reached its end.

But what was the result of that trust?

His marriage still fell apart!

Wang Qiang was unwilling to accept it and wanted to file a complaint, but he was threatened!

They even turned the tables and ruined his reputation!

Knowing he couldn't fight back, Wang Qiang could only silently hide this hatred.

Waiting for an opportunity to strike back!

Now, he had finally waited for it!

A different kind of light shone in Wang Qiang's eyes, and he muttered, "It seems you know Xu Xiaoxiao very well; why don't we... cooperate!"

Father Xu and Cheng Xueli exchanged a glance, and then, he made his decision!

As the date to return to school drew near, Xu Xiaoxiao began to adjust her state of mind.

And to be in a good state, her physical stamina also had to keep up.

Therefore, Xu Xiaoxiao had a fixed time for a walk every day.

Today, she returned from her walk outside, and just as she entered the door, she felt a shadow run to her feet.
