Before Li Xiuqin could react to what she had said, Lin Yuejiao said, "You did have your reasons for abandoning me back then, and it was probably for my own good..."

Li Xiuqin was stunned. She didn't expect her daughter to suddenly bring up this matter.

"But it's also true that I was abandoned."

Lin Yuejiao changed her tone, took a deep breath, and tried to stay calm.

"So, I can't recognize you for the time being. I don't want to force myself. Let's just let nature take its course."

"So, you're willing to give your mother a chance to take care of you?"

Li Xiuqin excitedly held Lin Yuejiao's hand. Lin Yuejiao subconsciously wanted to pull it back, but looking at Li Xiuqin's happy smile like a child, she inexplicably couldn't bear it.

After all, it was her scumbag father who caused all this, and she should resent him.

Finally, Lin Yuejiao nodded and said that in the future she wouldn't have to hide when she came to see her, nor would she have to ask someone to bring her food. If Li Xiuqin wanted to see her, she could come over at any time.

Li Xiuqin hugged her excitedly, "Jiaojiao, thank you for giving mom a chance to make it up to you."

Lin Yuejiao didn't respond and was about to ask Li Xiuqin if she wanted to go to her house for a visit when a voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Mom, why are you here?"

"Yaoyao? Why are you here too?"

Li Xiuqin suddenly let go of Lin Yuejiao, looking a little unnatural.

Lin Yuejiao frowned because of the word "Mom". When she turned around and saw a familiar face, her expression turned cold.

"It's you? Mom, why are you with her?"

The familiar face was Su Xinyao. Su Xinyao stared at Lin Yuejiao angrily, and her sharp eyes seemed to gouge Lin Yuejiao to pieces.

There was a woman of the same age with her, her friend Joey, who also happened to live in the same neighborhood.

She came to hang out with her friends, but she didn't expect to run into her mother with the woman she hated.

"Yaoyao, do you know each other?" Joey stared at Lin Yuejiao and asked.

Su Xinyao sneered, "Yiyi, she is the poor girl I met in the antique market last time. She can't afford antiques and she even instigated the antique shop owner not to sell me things. She is so disgusting."

Lin Yuejiao wanted to laugh. He was really good at turning the tables.

"So it's her." Qiao Yi looked at Lin Yuejiao with contempt, then turned around and said, "Auntie, we'd better stay away from people like this to avoid bad luck."

Li Xiuqin didn't know that Lin Yuejiao and Su Xinyao had met in the antique shop, and she was unhappy when others said this about Lin Yuejiao.

She glared at Su Xinyao, "Yaoyao, don't talk nonsense, Jiaojiao is not that kind of person."

"Jiaojiao? Mom, how do you know her? And you call her so affectionately, who is she?" Su Xinyao gritted her teeth, her face full of anger.

"She..." Li Xiuqin opened her mouth but said nothing.

Lin Yuejiao couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. She said she wanted to recognize her as her daughter, but she didn't even dare to disclose her identity?

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Lin Yuejiao said coldly and turned away.

"You can't leave!" Su Xinyao suddenly grabbed her and said viciously, "I haven't settled the score with you for what happened in the antique shop last time."

"Yao Yao..."

Li Xiuqin was about to ask her daughter to let go when Lin Yuejiao slapped her in the face.

"Pa - I gave you face? You're still not letting me go. I tell you, if you provoke me again, I'll tear your mouth apart!" Lin Yuejiao looked ferocious.

"You... you dare to hit me?" Su Xinyao covered her painful cheek and was furious. "You are looking for death!"

Su Xinyao roared and pounced on Lin Yuejiao with her teeth and claws bared, as if she was going to have a big fight with Lin Yuejiao.

Li Xiuqin held her tightly, "Yaoyao, stop messing around!"

"Mom, she hit me and you helped her. Who is your daughter?"

Su Xinyao struggled and roared, and Li Xiuqin's face was full of complicated emotions.

Lin Yuejiao didn't want to see them, so she walked away with a cold face. Behind her, Li Xiuqin called her and Su Xinyao scolded her.

She ignored all of it, and her determination to try to accept her biological mother was gone.

She already has a new home and another daughter, so why are you still looking for her?

Thinking of this, she angrily threw the meal that Li Xiuqin had prepared for her into the trash can downstairs.

When she got home, she fell headfirst onto the lazy sofa, lying there like a salted fish.

My cell phone rang. It was a WeChat message from my mother.

Lian Xin Wei Lan: Jiao Jiao, are you angry with your mother? Mom didn't tell you your identity just now because she was afraid that you would be unhappy. Yaoyao is your sister, Su Xinyao. After mom left your father, she remarried and gave birth to Yaoyao, who is five years younger than you. Yaoyao has been spoiled since she was a child and has a bit of a rude temper. Don't mind it, she is not a bad person.

Lin Yuejiao threw away her phone and didn't even bother to reply.

Not a bad person? She thought that the girl looked like she had badness written all over her face.

This is not how the mother filter works!

The sentence "Yaoyao has been spoiled since childhood" lingered in her mind. Comparing it with her own childhood, Lin Yuejiao felt indescribably uncomfortable and decided to go to ancient times to relax.

She let the system locate Xu Zhiyu's position, and she used the ancient jade to travel directly there.

In the blink of an eye, I appeared in an antique shop.

Unlike the ancient shops she had imagined, this shop sold all kinds of miscellaneous items, including some strange objects that she didn't recognize.

As I was looking at the things in the store, I heard a voice behind me.

"Sir, Madam said that if your store doesn't make a profit next month, you should close it and study hard to get a good degree."

"Who are you trying to scare? I just won't take the imperial examination, what can my mother do? She has said this so many times, can she still kick me out of the house?"

The man was dressed in a red brocade robe, full of vigor and vitality, and exuded an unruly temperament.

He was wiping a jade nine-link chain in his hand, ignoring his little follower Chang An.

"He is Xu Zhiyu?"

Lin Yuejiao stared at the man in red, and the system said yes!

In fact, you can tell without asking that the Xu brothers and sisters look somewhat alike and are both very good-looking. The family genes are simply too powerful.

"Sir, the Madam is serious this time. She is not joking with you. The Madam..."

Before Chang An could finish his words, Xu Zhiyu stood up and pushed him out.

"Okay, I get it. Go back and tell my wife that I, Xu Zhiyu, will never be able to become an official in this life. It's not enough that they sent Ayue to the palace to be a caged bird. What? Do they want to sacrifice my freedom too?"

Pushing Chang An out, Xu Zhiyu closed the door and ignored Chang An who was shouting outside.

Lin Yuejiao was sliding the virtual system interface in front of her to look at Xu Zhiyu's personal information.

Xu Zhiyu is two years older than Xu Xiyue. He is rebellious by nature, loves to stand up for the weak, and is too upright. It may not be a good thing for such a person to become an official.

Lin Yuejiao thought about it, looked up at Xu Zhiyu, then sat back down and continued to wipe the Nine Rings.

Seeing how serious and careful he was, he seemed to like the Nine Rings very much.

Looking at Xu Zhiyu, she said thoughtfully: "System, except Xu Xiyue and Chu Qingyue, no one else can hear me, so how can I communicate with Xu Zhiyu?"

How can she run her convenience store if she can’t communicate with Xu Zhiyu?

[The host can use the conch shell. No matter where you are, even if you are separated by time and space, as long as you have the conch shell, you can contact each other at any time. ]

"Isn't that the same as making a phone call?"
