Become a stepmother and save the male protagonist of the painful literary school

In his eyes, the nature of this marriage was no different from other work at hand, and he took it equally seriously.

Do what you should do when you should do it, and ignore it when you should ignore it.

As long as Jian Yan didn't harm Xiao Mu, he never interfered in what she did, and only showed up when she needed help.

Including her attempts to change the style of home decoration, open a dessert shop, keep pets at home, and reuse the vacant land in the villa...

He tacitly agreed.

Even when it came to Xiao Mu, he consulted with her and accepted her good suggestions. When he first learned that she had arranged for Xiao Mu to transfer to another class, he did not immediately ask the principal to change it back, but first listened to her reasons for doing so and followed her advice.

It can be said that as one of the two parties in the cooperation, he has fulfilled all the obligations he should have.

Even though Jian Yan was a person who didn't trust others easily and didn't want to get close to him, she shouldn't be so wary. It was as if he was some kind of monster that would open its bloody mouth towards her the next moment.

Whatever she said in front of him, as long as it had nothing to do with Xiao Mu, was rarely the truth.

It's either testing and being cautious, or pretending to be polite.

Don’t you feel tired?

Tong Ruixiao put away his thoughts, and his usually smiling face became much more relaxed. "There are only surveillance cameras in the living room on the first floor and the corridor upstairs, not in other rooms."

"I want to understand the situation from you first, and then go find Xiao Mu. Only by combining your two thoughts can I know the root cause of the conflict."

"I want to know what he did to make you angry. If you tell me, you are just answering my question, not slandering or making accusations."

After hearing this, Jian Yan didn't immediately understand what this meant.

Tong Ruixiao: "Perhaps the narrator may say something that is biased from the facts due to his emotions, but the listener is not a child and has the ability to judge... As long as he is an adult with a brain, he will not make rash judgments based on only one side of the story."

"Of course, I'm not saying that you're worrying too much."

These words reminded Jian Yan of something. The harsh insults rang in her ears again, and her eyes instantly turned red.

"Yan Chen, it was her...it was her who harmed me!"

"You actually sold Jiang Jiang to the club, Jian Yan, you vicious bitch! I will make you pay with blood!"

"Sell this bitch to a brothel and let her feel Jiang Jiang's fear and pain. You can play with her as you please, but just keep her under my watch. If she runs away, I, Si Yanchen, will not let you go!"

"..."

She tightened her grip on the quilt little by little, almost tearing it apart, and each word was as bloody and difficult as if she was cut by a knife. "Is it impossible for an adult to believe someone else's one-sided words?"

The rising ending tone could not suppress the trembling, on the verge of collapse of memories.

Tong Ruixiao saw the uncontrollable emotions on Jian Yan's face. She had never lost her composure like this in front of him before.

There were slight ripples in the dark eyes as deep as a pool, concealing an indescribable gloomy look.

Who did she see through him?

At this moment, he heard her shrill, almost sarcastic words again, almost asking: "...How can you be sure that it won't happen?"

He pulled away those unnecessary thoughts and asked her calmly: "Have you ever experienced anything?"

When Jian Yan heard his words, her pupils dilated and she suddenly came back to her senses. She quickly blinked back her tears, calmed down, and quickly denied it in a low voice: "Nothing..."

Tong Huaimu: "I don't know about others, just for me. Even if I criticized Tong Huaimu after listening to you, it was my own will, not because of your instigation."

He lowered his eyes to look at the red at the corners of her eyes, suppressed the urge to raise his hand to caress her, and let his fingers hang down by his legs, curling up slightly without leaving any trace.

"An adult, at the very least, can distinguish right from wrong. How can he draw conclusions about something just by listening to a few words?"

His tone was flat and serious.

"If I hadn't returned to the villa last night, any conflicts between you two would have nothing to do with me. But now I know everything, I can't just pretend I didn't see it, right?"

In his opinion, when a normal person encounters a conflict within the family, the first thing they will do is to try to resolve the issue as quickly as possible through various means, rather than standing idly by and pretending it is none of their business.

"Not taking care of any household affairs and being a hands-off manager is not my style."

The man spoke appropriately and reasonably, neither hurriedly nor slowly.

Although the two were very close, he did not release the kind of aggression that would make people subconsciously want to hide.

He speaks in a gentle and polite manner, and behaves in a polite manner. He can be called a gentleman.

It was beyond her expectation.

This was the first time that Jian Yan felt that he and Si Yanchen had reached the same destination through different paths.

Si Yanchen stands at the top of power. He is always arbitrary and intolerant of criticism. He can be said to be almost cruel. Tong Ruixiao is a Confucian businessman. He is used to smiling at everyone and speaking in a reserved manner. He does not make people feel uncomfortable, but he is also more hypocritical.

On the surface, the two men are completely different, but in essence they are the same.

Both are dangerous.

Most of the time, pretending to be gentle is more likable and soothing than real coldness.

This is also the reason why she is afraid of Tong Ruixiao.

When she first met Tong Ruixiao, she was also stunned by his gentleness. Later, she realized that it was a false test, and she no longer regarded him as a kind person.

A smiling tiger is the scariest.

When dealing with Tong Ruixiao, you must be cautious as long as interests are involved. Who knows what he is planning in his mind when he talks to you with a smile?

If someone is younger or less experienced, when faced with such an entrepreneur who speaks and behaves appropriately and does not make people feel oppressive, he or she will most likely regard him as a good person at first sight, thinking he is a rabbit, but in fact he is a wolf.

Can you disguise your profit-oriented nature by appearing elegant and refined?

In the final analysis, Tong Ruixiao and Si Yanchen are the same type of people, pursuing maximum benefits. One uses a shiny knife, and the other uses a knife wrapped in candy paper.

Two sides of the same coin, same essence.

In response to the reason he gave, Jian Yan replied softly, "You are right, but my position is different from yours."

"You are Xiao Mu's father. When there is a conflict between your second marriage partner and your child, there is absolutely no problem in listening to the opinions of both parties and trying to mediate the conflict."

"But as a stepmother, this position is awkward. Even if I treat him as my own son, he will think I have ulterior motives."

"Besides, after we had a fight, it's possible that he dislikes me or even hates me."

"At this time, I came to tell you about the quarrel. No matter what purpose it was for, he would mistakenly think that I was complaining and wanted to punish and oppress him through you."

"He is a child and has not yet developed the tolerance that we adults have. You are the person he cares about the most. If you show the slightest trust in me, he will feel betrayed."
