Chapter 1603: Not Everyone Is Qualified to Be a Parent

~8 min read 1,401 words

The next second, Cheng Xueli thought of something!

The housekeeper watched Cheng Xueli's eyes suddenly light up and warned in a deep voice, "I advise you both, don't even think about ideas you shouldn't have!"

Cheng Xueli fixed her gaze on the housekeeper and scoffed, "A servant, and you dare to manage how we do things!"

"Although I am a servant, I know the stakes. If you really go to Miss Xu's school to cause trouble, I'm afraid..."

The housekeeper had guessed right; Cheng Xueli really had been thinking about going to the school to intercept her.

She was so stupid, why had she only thought of coming to Jiang Zhai to find Xu Xiaoxiao!

Xu Xiaoxiao wasn't actually under house arrest; there were plenty of opportunities to meet her if she wanted to!

But the housekeeper had suddenly issued a warning...

Cheng Xueli's joy faded slightly, and she raised an eyebrow, asking, "Afraid of what?"

"The master will be very angry, and he may even directly sue you for harassing Miss Xu."

Cheng Xueli sneered, "Xiao Xiao is a member of the Xu Family; seeing one's own daughter is hardly harassment!"

"But Miss Xu doesn't want to see you, so that is harassment. Shall I call a lawyer right now to clear up your confusion?"

What a joke!

If she really waited for a lawyer to come, I'm afraid... it wouldn't be as simple as just clearing up confusion!

Father Xu sensed the other party's warning.

But Cheng Xueli didn't catch it; she still wanted to clamor at the other party.

Father Xu hurriedly grabbed her arm and said in a low voice, "Alright, let's go back first!"

"But..."

"Go back!" Father Xu suddenly raised his voice.

In daily life, Father Xu doted on his wife very much.

But once he became stern, Cheng Xueli didn't dare to say anything.

At this moment, she gritted her teeth and glared fiercely at the housekeeper one last time before reluctantly following her husband away.

The exterior of Jiang Zhai was not exactly luxurious.

But it had a unique charm.

Inside, there was a beautiful garden, so many servants...

Cheng Xueli looked back longingly, thinking to herself that this was the place where people above others should live!

And it was what Xu Zixin should be enjoying!

But Xu Zixin had not been in the country for the past two days; she had gone to participate in a modeling competition without saying a word.

That must be very hard work.

Yet that little bitch Xu Xiaoxiao was inside, enjoying the things her daughter should possess...

Simply shameless!

The more Cheng Xueli thought about it, the angrier she became. Finally, she opened her mouth and said venomously, "Zixin shouldn't have gone to participate in any competition, but rather come to snatch Jiang Chenghao away!"

If her daughter had secured Jiang Chenghao, Cheng Xueli wouldn't have to suffer those indignities!

Thinking of this, Cheng Xueli actually felt a bit of resentment toward Xu Zixin.

Father Xu glanced to the side and warned, "Don't tell Zixin about what happened here."

"No way, when Zixin left, she specifically asked us to keep an eye on things for her!"

"But there are priorities in all things. The most important thing for our daughter right now is to compete well; let's not bother her with trivial matters."

Father Xu knew very well that with Xu Zixin's temper, if she found out that Xu Xiaoxiao and Jiang Chenghao were living together...

She would definitely fly into a rage and come back to cause trouble.

But Xu Zixin had finally resolved to work hard on her career, and Father Xu didn't want to watch her go back to her old ways!

Father Xu had good intentions here.

But Cheng Xueli held the opposite attitude.

She scoffed and said indifferently, "What's the use of that competition? Our daughter should come back and snatch Jiang Chenghao!"

"Enough, why do you keep going on and on! You saw for yourself how Jiang Chenghao dotes on Xiao Xiao; is that something Zixin can just snatch away by coming back? If you have the energy, you'd be better off letting Zixin find someone reliable."

Cheng Xueli had previously felt that with her daughter's conditions, it wouldn't be difficult to find a more outstanding man.

But after being turned away by the Jiang Family repeatedly these past few days, Cheng Xueli felt extremely humiliated!

She didn't want to lose face in front of a bunch of servants.

She wanted to strike back!

And the best retaliation against those servants would be to turn her own daughter into the mistress of that house!

Even if Xu Zixin didn't end up marrying Jiang Chenghao, she still had to go in and live there for a while to show off her power!

But these thoughts... could not let Father Xu know.

Otherwise, he would lecture her again.

Cheng Xueli hid her little schemes, then deliberately kept a straight face and scoffed, "Anyway, no matter which daughter marries Jiang Chenghao, you'll be his father-in-law, so of course you can speak so easily!"

"Both palms are flesh, I..."

"Enough, enough, I don't want to hear it!"

Cheng Xueli walked quickly, putting distance between herself and Father Xu.

Father Xu sighed silently and stepped forward to follow.

The actions of those two down below were all seen by Xu Xiaoxiao from upstairs.

In fact, Xu Xiaoxiao knew every time they came.

Watching Cheng Xueli's hideous face, yet unable to hear her voice, Xu Xiaoxiao found it somewhat amusing.

But the housekeeper could not laugh.

He walked behind Xu Xiaoxiao, wanting to tell Xu Xiaoxiao what had just happened.

Xu Xiaoxiao, however, stopped him and said, "If they come again in the future, just call the police; there is no need to save face for me."

The housekeeper was dazed for a moment, then said, "Understood."

He thought of something else and cautioned, "Madam Xu seems to have some crooked ideas; please be careful at school."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao knew exactly what Cheng Xueli was planning.

She did not look surprised at all, sneered, and said, "If they really dare to come to school to cause trouble for me, then let's see who ends up being unlucky!"

The housekeeper heard that Xu Xiaoxiao had already made up her mind, so he did not say anything more.

After the housekeeper left, Xu Xiaoxiao stood by the window and sighed, "Are some people truly not fit to be parents?"

Father Xu and Cheng Xueli had not a shred of affection for Xu Xiaoxiao, only schemes.

They were good to Xu Zixin, but they did not know how to raise a child at all, to the point that Xu Zixin was morally corrupt, mediocre, and greedy.

People like this cannot even manage to be decent human beings, so what right do they have to be parents?

Hmph!

Sister Zhang was in the room, so she heard Xu Xiaoxiao's lament.

She felt very sorry for Xu Xiaoxiao and could not help but sigh, "If only there were an exam before becoming a parent in this world."

After saying this, Sister Zhang did not wait for Xu Xiaoxiao to respond before she negated herself: "No, that won't do!"

Xu Xiaoxiao was curious and asked, "Why not?"

"If that were the case, you wouldn't have been able to come into this world; without a fine young woman like you, how lonely Mr. Jiang would be."

Sister Zhang knew Xu Xiaoxiao was in a bad mood, so she said some pleasant things to coax her.

But Xu Xiaoxiao fell into deep thought because of Sister Zhang's words.

Xu Xiaoxiao dared not say how important she was.

But if not for her, Jiang Chenghao might still be immersed in a broken, miserable relationship, unable to walk away.

Perhaps he would have lived in a daze for his entire life.

Therefore, in order to save Jiang Chenghao, even if her parents were a bit terrible, Xu Xiaoxiao had to come and make this journey!

Thinking this way, Xu Xiaoxiao felt her mood improve a lot.

The feeling of frustration also vanished into thin air.

In the time it took to turn around, Xu Xiaoxiao also caught sight of the cabinet filled with drinks and snacks.

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