The cannon fodder female supporting role in the misplaced life

Hearing her friends' kind words, Xu Yingying felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She looked at her two close friends with gratitude, took a deep breath, and slowly said, "Actually... I really don't feel unhappy at all. On the contrary, after saying those words to Mom just now, I actually felt really relieved!"

Wu Yufei was obviously a little surprised by Xu Yingying's answer. She widened her eyes and asked in confusion, "How is this possible? Why do you think so?"

Xu Yingying smiled bitterly and shook her head, then she sighed deeply and began to confide in them: "Oh, you don't know, my mother has always been the kind of parent who seriously favors boys over girls. In her mind, my younger brother always ranks first. He is the most precious and important one. As for me, I am just a stepping stone that my younger brother can step on at will on his path to growth..." At this point, Xu Yingying also lowered her head.

Xu Yingying looked like this, which made the two people standing in front of her feel even more distressed. Yu Lili was quick to step forward, patted Xu Yingying's shoulder gently, and said softly, "Okay, don't be sad, it's okay. Even if the whole world abandons you, don't forget that you still have me and Wu Yufei by your side! Besides, you still have that cute and adorable little daughter at home who is like a little angel. Just looking at her innocent smile every day will instantly make all your troubles disappear, right? Besides, your handsome and elegant husband must also hold you in his hands and dote on you! So, don't be so dejected because of those people and things that make us unhappy."

Hearing Yu Lili's heartfelt words of comfort, Wu Yufei couldn't help but feel a little surprised. She had never expected that the usually carefree Yu Lili could actually say such heartwarming words. However, Wu Yufei soon came to her senses and quickly echoed her, "Yes, yes, Yu Lili is absolutely right, Yingying, we must not be depressed all day because of those who make us sad. No matter who they are, we must live our lives happily!"

At this time, Xu Yingying raised her head, tears still glistening in her eyes, but she forced a smile of gratitude on her face and said softly, "Thank you both so much. I'm so sorry to let you see me in such a mess today..."

Wu Yufei changed the subject after hearing this and said, "What happened today reminded me, why don't we install that anti-theft surveillance camera in the store?"

Yu Lili nodded after hearing this: "Yufei, this is a good suggestion!"

Xu Yingying hadn't expected Yufei to think of installing surveillance cameras in the store because of her mother's situation. This was indeed necessary. Xu Yingying had previously installed one at home for Lin Xinyi's safety. So she said, "Leave it to me!"

Wu Yufei also nodded: "Okay, then Yingying, you can handle this matter."

Xu Yingying: "Yufei, you should hurry up and hire someone."

Wu Yufei: "I've been paying attention. There should be news soon."

Xu Yingying: "Okay, and I'll leave early this afternoon, so I'll leave the evening to you guys! It's Xinyi's birthday today, and I want to pick her up from school and give her a surprise."

When Wu Yufei heard that Lin Xinyi's birthday was today, she immediately patted her chest and said, "Oh, it's no big deal! Lili and I are both experienced and skilled technicians!" Yu Lili beside her nodded repeatedly, agreeing, "That's right. Xinyi's birthday is such an important day. You should go home early and prepare well."

Xu Yingying smiled and replied, "Don't worry, the cake has already been ordered. We can just pick it up on the way to pick her up from school later. Actually, this birthday party is just a simple meal for our family to have together."

At this moment, Wu Yufei suddenly screamed, "Ah!" The sound was so loud that Xu Yingying and Yu Lili turned their heads and cast their eyes on her. Wu Yufei's face showed a hint of embarrassment, as if she was hiding something difficult to say.

Seeing this, Xu Yingying hurriedly asked with concern: "What's the matter? Are you worried about something?" Wu Yufei shook her head gently, but after hesitating for a moment, she finally decided to swallow her words back into her stomach and chose to remain silent. It turned out that at that moment just now, Wu Yufei suddenly remembered the scene when Xu's mother came to trouble them not long ago. At that time, Xu's mother was aggressive and did not care about Xu Yingying's feelings at all. She only wanted to take advantage of them. And it was obvious that she didn't even remember her daughter's birthday, let alone care. Thinking of this, Wu Yufei couldn't help but sigh inwardly that Xu Yingying must have had a very difficult childhood...

When Xu Yingying left early to pick up Lin Xinyi, Wu Yufei told Yu Lili what she had thought at that time.

"Let's try not to talk about Yingying's mother in front of her in the future!" said Yu Lili.

"Yes, yes, yes, her mother is really eye-opening! She would even give up her daughter for a son! She is obviously a woman, so why is she so biased towards boys!" Wu Yufei said.

"Many people in my hometown also favor boys over girls. Fortunately, my parents don't. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to go to college," Yu Lili replied.

Xu Yingying was not clear about the conversation between the two people, but when Lin Xinyi saw that it was her mother who came to pick her up from school today, she smiled so hard that her teeth were showing.

"Hehe!" Lin Xinyi looked at her mother with a smile on her face, her big eyes sparkling with joy.

Seeing her daughter so happy, Xu Yingying teased her deliberately, "Hey, my precious daughter, what's wrong? You're smiling like a flower. Did you find a treasure?"

Lin Xinyi shook her head excitedly, holding the straps of her schoolbag tightly with both hands, and said happily: "No, Mom! I'm happy because you came to pick me up from school today!" After that, she jumped a few times like a happy little rabbit.

Xu Yingying smiled slightly and pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Huh? Mom used to pick you up from school every day, but I never saw you dancing with joy like you are today."
