"Your aunt invited me to have dinner at her house today." Xu Xiaofeng said to Xu Yingying.

"Oh, so that's it." Xu Yingying then realized that Aunt Xu was going to Aunt Qin's house for dinner, and she felt very embarrassed.

"Well, let's go to the supermarket first and buy something to take to your aunt's house." Xu Xiaofeng thought it would be awkward to go to Qin Shu's house empty-handed, so she had to bring some kind of gift to show her appreciation. As she spoke, she pondered what to buy. After all, when dining at someone else's house, one must have some social etiquette and not be too casual.

"Okay," Xu Yingying replied. Xu Yingying also knew that in interpersonal relationships, reciprocity was sometimes necessary. She had no objection to this arrangement and felt that she should bring a gift for her aunt. Although she was her aunt, it was not wrong for her to show some courtesy. Furthermore, doing so would allow her aunt to feel her aunt's sincerity and respect for her.

After finishing breakfast, Xu Xiaofeng patted her stomach with satisfaction, then turned to Xu Yingying and said, "Yingying, let's rest for a while and then get ready to go."

Xu Yingying nodded obediently, quickly cleared the dishes, and went into the kitchen to wash them. She then went to the balcony to take the washed clothes out of the washing machine and hang them out to dry. After completing these chores, Xu Yingying returned to her room, changed into fresh and comfortable clothes, and sat in the living room waiting for Xu Xiaofeng.

After a while, Xu Xiaofeng also changed her clothes and headed towards the supermarket with Xu Yingying.

The two arrived at the supermarket, and Xu Yingying asked, "Aunt, what should we buy for Auntie?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. Let me see if there are any fresh fruits first!" replied Xu Xiaofeng.

Xu Yingying and her friend walked towards the fresh food area, but what Xu Yingying didn't expect was that she met Yuan Xiaoling and her mother here.

Xu Yingying just casually looked up and saw a familiar figure - Yuan Xiaoling. Yuan Xiaoling was shopping in the supermarket with her mother!

From the outside, Yuan Xiaoling still maintains the image of a good girl in front of her mother, which is completely different from her attitude towards Xu Yingying at school.

Xu Yingying happened to be standing not far from them, quietly observing Yuan Xiaoling's cautious and meticulous steps beside her mother, which made Xu Yingying feel a little sympathetic.

Although Yuan Xiaoling was portrayed as a villain in the book, at this moment, Xu Yingying realized that she was also a child longing for maternal love. It was a pity that this maternal love was destined not to be the unique existence she expected.

Is this what they mean when they say "there's always something hateful about a pitiful person"? Yuan Xiaoling is hateful, but also pitiful. But no matter how pitiful she is, she shouldn't take her emotions out on others, right? What did the original heroine do to displease Yuan Xiaoling and thus receive her revenge?

"Yingying, what are you looking at?" Xu Xiaofeng was originally concentrating on looking at today's apples. She thought they looked very good and wanted to ask Xu Yingying if she wanted to buy some for her aunt. However, when she turned around to ask Xu Yingying, she found that she seemed to be looking at something else and her expression was a little dazed.

"Ah? Aunt, I didn't see anything. Is there something wrong?" Xu Yingying came back to her senses and answered with a smile.

"I just saw that today's apples are very fresh, and I was thinking about buying some for your aunt." Xu Xiaofeng explained.

Xu Yingying lowered her head to look at the apples, then said, "Aunt, you decide. I'm not very good at choosing." After saying that, she stuck out her tongue mischievously.

"Okay, kid! Then see if there is anything else you need to buy. We can buy them together." After Xu Xiaofeng said this, she began to carefully select apples.

When Xu Yingying raised her head again, she found that Yuan Xiaoling was no longer in her original position and might have gone somewhere else.

"Xiao Wu, is the current mission progress still maintained at the same level as last time?" Xu Yingying suddenly asked.

"Yes, host, these past few days, I've seen that the task progress is still at the same value. There's no change." Xiao Wu said and went to confirm the task progress once more.

"It seems that the mission can only progress if we go to Aunt Qin's house." Xu Yingying thought to herself. She knew very well that although Li Tongxin had come with Aunt Qin two days ago, the mission progress had been stagnant because she was stuck in a dilemma and could not be awakened. This made her feel a little anxious and helpless.

After Xu Xiaofeng finished picking apples, she began to look around, searching for Xu Yingying. When she found Xu Yingying standing there stupidly, she couldn't help but frown. She walked over quickly and asked with concern: "Yingying, are you not getting enough rest? Why are you always in a daze?"

Xu Yingying came back to her senses and looked at Xu Xiaofeng with a wry smile on her face: "Maybe I'm a little tired recently, it's nothing serious."

Xu Xiaofeng patted Xu Yingying's shoulder gently and comforted her, "Don't work too hard and take care of yourself. You can go and have a rest after we get to your aunt's house." After that, she took Xu Yingying's hand, paid the bill, and walked towards Qin Shu's house.

Qin Shu kept looking outside the house from time to time to see if Xu Yingying and Xu Xiaofeng had arrived.

"Mom, cousin Yingying usually doesn't arrive until around noon. You've been looking forward to her since early morning, thinking that cousin Yingying is your biological daughter." Li Tongxin said a little jealously.

"How can you talk like that, kid? Don't say it again after you've said it this time. You know your cousin Yingying's situation very well. She will definitely be very upset if she hears it." Qin Shu said to his daughter seriously.

"I know. I just saw that you were so nervous. That's why..." Li Tongxin was interrupted by Qin Shu before she could finish her words.

"Child, your mother asked you to be more considerate of your cousin because your cousin has really suffered a lot that she shouldn't have to endure at her age. Your aunt and your uncle-in-law, ah. Let's not talk about them. Your cousin couldn't get up two days ago. As the elder of her family, should I care more about her? Will you, as her cousin, be jealous?" Qin Shu certainly knew what her daughter was thinking, but Qin Shu also knew that Li Tongxin was still young and didn't understand many things. But now it's time to face it and be sensible. Xu Yingying talked to her about Li Tongxin's current mental state before, and Qin Shu didn't care much at the time. But now, Qin Shu also feels that she should take to heart what Xu Yingying said at the time. After all, that is her own daughter, and she also hopes that Li Tongxin will not have any psychological problems.
