Chapter 1607: Whatever Way You Want to Play, I'll Accompany You

Xu Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes, revealing a cold sneer: "Do you think I'm very stupid, knowing nothing, or do you think you are too clever, and your actions are seamless?"

"Oh, what seamless or not seamless, if you have the ability, then produce evidence, don't be so snide!"

Cheng Xueli was feeling emboldened.

And the silence that followed from Xu Xiaoxiao made her even more convinced that Xu Xiaoxiao had no evidence in her hands.

This caused a trace of a triumphant smile to appear on Cheng Xueli's face.

Father Xu tried to smooth things over at this moment: "We are family after all, don't let rumors and gossip hurt our harmony."

Xu Xiaoxiao nodded lightly and responded: "Indeed, we are family—a family where bridges are bridges and roads are roads."

Seeing that Xu Xiaoxiao was pushing her luck, Cheng Xueli scolded her unpleasantly: "I'm speaking to you nicely, you can't listen, can you! I see you've just grown wings and want to fly high!"

"No, I just want to draw a clear line between us."

"What kind of joke is that? We raised you this big, how can it be calculated clearly?"

"So I deserve to be used by you, to pave the way for you, and I can't even refute a single word afterwards? On what grounds!"

The voice Xu Xiaoxiao used to speak was not loud, but the way she looked at people was very sharp.

Father Xu was swept by her gaze and felt a moment of guilty conscience.

He averted his eyes and laughed it off again: "Don't put it so harshly, aren't we family, just supporting each other?"

"Then what have you supported me with? When I was carrying the weight of rumors and gossip, did you ever speak a word for me? Do you want me to remind you where the leaked photos came from!?"

Xu Xiaoxiao suddenly brought up the matter of the photos, and both Father Xu and Cheng Xueli felt a shock in their hearts.

Father Xu suddenly didn't know how to defend himself, so he said vaguely: "We were also used by others, the photos... the photos..."

At this moment, any explanation was futile.

Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but show an expression of annoyance, frowning as she interrupted: "Enough, I won't pursue this, but don't come bother me in the future!"

Regarding the matter of the photos, it was clearly the Xu Family who were in the wrong.

But Cheng Xueli could not stand Xu Xiaoxiao's high-and-mighty attitude.

With a hardened heart, she reprimanded Xu Xiaoxiao: "You little slut, have you forgotten yourself just because you've had two days of peaceful life! As long as you still want to work here, you'd better honestly listen to us!"

"And what if I don't listen?"

"Then I'll let everyone here know what kind of character you have!"

"But I walk straight and act upright, I'm not afraid of what you say!"

Cheng Xueli curled her lips, her face full of ferocity: "Then are you afraid of me twisting the truth! Are you afraid of an old man coming to make a scene with you every three days!"

She had already made up her mind; as long as this little slut didn't listen, she would make sure she had no peace!

Father Xu still wanted to save some face.

Hearing this, he grabbed Cheng Xueli's arm, telling her not to speak without restraint.

But Cheng Xueli wouldn't listen.

This Xu Xiaoxiao was clearly about to slip out of their control; if they didn't do something now...

Then there would be no way to manipulate her in the future!

Cheng Xueli felt ruthless in her heart, her eyes fixed unblinkingly on Xu Xiaoxiao.

But what Cheng Xueli didn't expect was that Xu Xiaoxiao had no intention of getting angry.

Instead, she nodded as if being taught, and said: "That's a good idea."

This reaction...

Cheng Xueli frowned, feeling a bit uneasy in her heart.

And this unease made Cheng Xueli's voice even colder: "Don't think we are joking with you!"

Xu Xiaoxiao wore a serious expression and said: "I know, when it comes to playing dirty, you are never ambiguous."

"You..."

Cheng Xueli glared viciously at Xu Xiaoxiao, feeling that this little slut still didn't take them seriously!

Since that was the case...

Cheng Xueli prepared to say something more.

But Xu Xiaoxiao spoke first: "Speaking of which, I really must thank you properly."

This word of thanks left Cheng Xueli stunned, and then she asked: "What are you thanking me for?"

"Thanks to your reminder, I know how to 'properly' take care of Xu Zixin."

Hearing the name Xu Zixin, Cheng Xueli's eyelids twitched!

Afterwards, she asked with some unease: "What exactly do you mean?"

"Nothing much, I just think twisting the truth is very interesting, and I can have a good time playing with Xu Zixin."

When Xu Xiaoxiao said this, there was still a smile on her face.

But her words, and her smile, made Cheng Xueli feel a chill run through her entire body!

It was clearly blackmail!!

Cheng Xueli was so angry her face turned livid, and she opened her mouth to scold: "You dare!!"

"Why wouldn't I dare? I heard that my dear sister is participating in a competition; if a scandal really breaks out..."

Xu Xiaoxiao paused for a moment, then said with a smile that wasn't quite a smile: "She'll have to withdraw!"

These words were so explosive that Cheng Xueli's body was trembling.

She even reached out her hand, pointing at Xu Xiaoxiao: "You... you actually dare to threaten us!"

"No, I am just returning the favor in kind. Whatever way you want to play next, I will accompany you."

Xu Xiaoxiao was all smiles.

But her smile was enough to make Cheng Xueli die of anger!

She noticed her husband had been silent for a long time, so she angrily stomped on his foot: "Are you a dead man? Why aren't you saying anything!"

Father Xu wanted to speak, too.

But what could he say?

They were truly in the wrong to begin with!

Furthermore, Xu Xiaoxiao no longer wanted to consider familial ties; if they continued to pester her, it would only lead to a complete falling out!

Father Xu did not want things to reach that point.

So, he ignored Cheng Xueli and said to Xu Xiaoxiao in a gentle tone: "All the faults and mistakes are ours; don't blame your younger sister."

This statement left Cheng Xueli in disbelief.

After a brief moment of shock, she was about to lash out.

But Father Xu scolded her first: "It is us parents who failed in our duties and should go back to reflect; why are you still yelling at the child!"

"You..."

Cheng Xueli wanted to speak.

But because of the coldness in Father Xu's eyes, she was forced to shut her mouth.

Xu Xiaoxiao looked at Father Xu, then looked at Cheng Xueli.

She suddenly felt very bored, withdrew her gaze, and said: "As for this play, you two can perform it slowly; I won't be watching anymore."

As she spoke, she thought of something else and added: "One more piece of advice for you: don't spin a cocoon around yourselves."

Once her words fell, Xu Xiaoxiao walked away from in front of Father Xu and Cheng Xueli.

Cheng Xueli could not help but stomp hard on Father Xu's foot.

Then she questioned him: "Are you just going to watch her step all over us and throw her weight around like this!"

Father Xu's expression was displeased.

Hearing his wife's words, he became even more irritable and said: "I told you before we came that there wouldn't be any results!"

"But I didn't expect that she would even trample you, her own father, under her feet without giving you any face at all!"

Cheng Xueli was deliberately sowing discord.

In the past, she had often used this tactic to stir up trouble in their father-daughter relationship.

And this time...

Cheng Xueli secretly glanced at Father Xu's expression, thinking to herself that this trick was still effective!

This discovery gave Cheng Xueli confidence, and with a turn of her eyes, she began to speak eloquently again:

Li Beijue's expression darkened instantly, and he stood up abruptly and strode toward the exit.
