Dressed as a real daughter, held in the palm of the hand by the boss

When I returned to the classroom, everyone else was still resting on the table or reading quietly.

It is lunch time now and everyone is racing against time to study.

Tan Xiaoxiao returned to her seat, lay on the table, and said nothing.

The hard object on her palm felt a little uncomfortable, but she still didn't let it go. Instead, she tightened it even harder, masochistically feeling the pain of her palm being squeezed.

Tan Xiaoxiao was a little out of breath.

What should she do?

What could she do?

Family? Friends?

These words were like needles piercing her mind and her heart, making her want to go crazy.

Jiang Wan, why did she do this?

Is a place in the competition so important to her?

Does she really have to force Manman into a desperate situation?

Jiang Wan is not a good person, so what about her? Didn't she also hide it from Manman and not tell her?

Who can tell her what she should do?

Just as she was immersed in her emotions, a hand patted her shoulder gently.

Tan Xiaoxiao was startled.

She immediately raised her head, a look of fear in her eyes.

But what caught her eyes was Li Manman's concerned face.

The tense string in Tan Xiaoxiao's heart relaxed instantly.

Li Manman stretched out her hand and pointed outside the door.

Tan Xiaoxiao was silent for a moment, but still followed her out of the classroom.

Li Manman looked carefully at the person in front of her and was speechless for a moment.

In her impression, Tan Xiaoxiao is just like her name, she loves to laugh, and it seems that nothing can knock her down. Even if she encounters unsolvable problems, she can still face them with a smile.

But now her eyes were dull, she looked haggard and uneasy, and she no longer looked up at her. Her hands were twisted together, and she was about to tear the corners of her clothes.

Li Manman carefully looked at the person in front of her and sighed.

This sigh made Tan Xiaoxiao feel even more uneasy.

She spoke with a bit of panic: "Manman, I..."

Tan Xiaoxiao was so nervous that even her voice was a little out of tune.

But she stopped as soon as she said that.

She didn't know what to say.

"You still don't want to tell me anything?" Li Manman did not comfort her, but just looked at her seriously.

Tan Xiaoxiao didn't dare to meet her gaze at all, and kept dodging like a rat in the darkness.

"No, I'm fine."

After hesitating for a long time, Tan Xiaoxiao finally said these words.

Whether she is good or not, her current appearance tells it all.

Even though she had known that it was impossible to get an answer from her so quickly, Li Manman was still a little disappointed.

Li Manman looked at her for a long time, and finally decided not to force her. She just held her hand and walked towards the cafeteria.

Tan Xiaoxiao was puzzled: "What are you doing?"

Li Manman did not answer.

Out of guilt, Tan Xiaoxiao did not shake off her hand, but just let her lead the way forward.

The cafeteria was not far from the classroom, and the two arrived there quickly.

In addition to main meals, the cafeteria also has a dessert window.

Li Manman walked over and ordered a mango cake.

Tan Xiaoxiao followed behind her without saying anything.

It wasn't until the two of them sat down and the cake was pushed in front of her that Tan Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment.

She suddenly looked up at Li Manman and said, "Is this cake for me?"

"You always said that you can forget all your worries after eating cake. I don't know what you are worried about, so this is the only way. With your favorite mango cake, Xiaoxiao should be happier, right?"

Li Manman pretended to be relaxed and playful.

Tan Xiaoxiao pulled the corners of her mouth, wanting to laugh, but couldn't.

The sour feeling at the tip of her nose made her lower her head, and her voice contained a hint of muffled feeling.

"How do you know I like mango cake?"

She didn't seem to have mentioned it to Li Manman.

"I went to your house last time and talked to Grandma Tan for a while, and then I learned some things about you."

Tan Xiaoxiao didn't say anything else, just lowered her head and ate the cake.

It tasted sweet, but she could taste a strong sourness in it.

Tan Xiaoxiao tried hard to control her emotions, not wanting to embarrass herself in front of Li Manman, but unexpectedly she was suddenly choked by the cake.

Li Manman patted her back gently to help her calm down.

"Drink something to calm down first."

What Li Manman handed over was a cup of mango sago, which also contained her favorite mango. Li Manman was really attentive to her.

Tan Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes and drank water from Li Manman's hand, and then she calmed down a little.

At this time, everyone went to study or rest, and there were only the two of them in the cafeteria.

Li Manman looked at the time and found that it was too late.

She said directly: "Xiaoxiao, go back to the classroom after you finish eating. I still have to go to Teacher Liu, so I'll leave first."

The training for the competition team is still waiting for her, so she can't be careless.

Just when Li Manman wanted to leave, Tan Xiaoxiao suddenly stood up.

"Manman, when you have time later, I'll come find you. I have something to tell you."

……

A big issue in my heart was resolved, and the big stone finally fell down.

Jiang Wan felt indescribably relaxed both physically and mentally.

She hurried back home, and before she even entered the house, she heard a fierce quarrel coming from inside.

"If I had known this day would come, I would never have been with you!"

The man in the room said something harsh, then opened the door and left.

His action startled Jiang Wan who was outside.

But the man didn't even look at her and just turned and left.

After he left, another woman rushed out of the house.

She shouted at the man's back: "If you are really capable, don't come back."

The woman's chest kept heaving. She was so angry that she just stood there and kept scolding the man.

When she was tired and stopped, she noticed Jiang Wan beside her.

The woman's expression suddenly became serious, and she said calmly, "I'm back."

"Yeah." Jiang Wan lowered her head slightly, not showing any arrogance in front of Tan Xiaoxiao.

"How was the competition? You'll definitely get a place this time, right?"

Jiang Wan didn't dare to speak.

In fact, she wasn't even eligible to compete.

Getting a ranking was even more of a fantasy for her.

The woman's expression gradually became ferocious. She grabbed Jiang Wan's shoulders and shouted, "Why don't you say anything? Can't you get it? You are as useless as your father. How could I have a daughter like you?"

The neighbor who came back heard the sound and walked away from the two people. When he turned the corner at the stairs, he looked back.

This was a huge blow to Jiang Wan.

She didn't want to embarrass herself in front of others, so she could only look at the woman pleadingly: "Mom, I will definitely get a rank, let's go in first, and then we can talk about it, okay?"

The woman's expression gradually softened: "That's good, Wanwan, you are my pride, you know, you are the only one I have."

Jiang Wan lowered her head and responded softly.

"Ah."
