Old Lady Jiang now realized that Su Hongxing was not joking around. She hastily scrambled up from the ground and pointed at Su Hongxing’s nose, cursing vehemently, “You’re just a jinx…”
“Shut up! Say one more word, and I won’t hesitate to hit you!” Xiao Ji couldn’t stand it any longer. He stepped forward and shielded Su Hongxing behind him.
Old Lady Jiang only saw Su Hongxing as an ATM, completely disregarding any blood relation or familial affection. Such an old hag deserved to be beaten to death!
Old Lady Jiang boldly pointed at Xiao Ji’s nose and yelled, “Xiao Ji, you despicable traitor! What wrong has our Hongxing done you? You played with and discarded her, and now you married that cheap bastard daughter of Zhou Peng and Cao Meiyu. You’re just like Zhou Peng, all shamelessly greedy and lowly scum. There’s not a single good person in your Xiao Family…”
There was a buzzing in Su Hongxing’s ears, and Old Lady Jiang’s sharp voice made her scalp tingle.
She closed her eyes, unable to tolerate it any further, and stormed into the kitchen. Grabbing a kitchen knife, she waved it around in front of Old Lady Jiang: “Take Jiang Su with you and get out of the Xiao Family! From now on, I have nothing to do with any of you Jiang Family members! If you don’t leave, I’ll give each of you a stab, and send you all straight to hell!!”
From this day on, she was truly alone, having absolutely nothing to do with either the Zhou or the Jiang Family!
Old Lady Jiang and Jiang Su had never seen this side of Su Hongxing before.
No matter what they did in the past, Su Hongxing would always tolerate it, even going so far as to cautiously try to please them. This out-of-control and mad Su Hongxing in front of them now was both unfamiliar and frightening.
Old Lady Jiang and Jiang Su were so frightened they couldn’t even stand steadily. They dared not stay in the Xiao Family any longer and ran off in panic, disappearing quickly.
Mother Xiao was also terrified by this Su Hongxing. She softly said, “Child, put down the knife.”
Su Hongxing snapped back to reality and looked at Mother Xiao, “I was just trying to scare them. I wouldn’t really use the knife.” She still had that much sense.
She wouldn’t sacrifice her entire life for these worthless people.
Old Lady Jiang was always a bully who was a coward at heart. Without a tough approach, she simply couldn’t be intimidated.
She put the kitchen knife back in the kitchen and turned around to see Mother Xiao standing behind her, her eyes welling up with tears.
“Child, Xiao Ji was the one who wronged you. Your grandmother was right, he is a heartless man like Chen Shimei.”
Seeing Hongxing like this earlier made her heartache. This was the child she had raised, her predestined daughter-in-law. How did Xiao Ji make such a mistake, choosing Zhou Luhe over Hongxing?
It must have deeply hurt this child’s heart.
“Maybe it’s just that my relationship with him wasn’t meant to be, let’s not mention the past anymore. Xiao Ji is now married, with a home and company to take care of, he must be very busy. Mother Xiao, you must take good care of yourself… Mother Xiao, don’t cry…”
Seeing Mother Xiao constantly wiping away tears, Su Hongxing got flustered.
She wasn’t completely alone. Father Xiao and Mother Xiao had taken care of her as they would their own daughter, providing meticulous care over the years. If she could, she would love to live in the Xiao Family for the rest of her life.
But with Xiao Ji as a barrier, she felt helpless.
“Child, will you move back home in the future? I worry about you living alone outside.” After Su Hongxing had comforted her, Mother Xiao finally began to calm down from her heightened emotions.
This was not only her wish but also Xiao Ji’s. Xiao Ji had asked her more than once to persuade Hongxing to move back.
There were a few times when she wanted to bring it up over the phone, but didn’t quite know how to broach the subject. Now was a good chance.
