I rely on unlimited life extension

Upon hearing this, Mark flew into a rage and gave Ma Li a severe dressing-down in front of Xiao Fei's mother, which gradually calmed her anger down.

Meanwhile, Wang Xiaomi was sitting on pins and needles in the coffee shop, waiting anxiously.

She kept glancing towards the kindergarten entrance, her eyes filled with worry. Only when she saw Mark leading the children out did she breathe a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, when Ma Li saw Wang Xiaomi, she was already furious because of being lectured, and she became even more unfriendly. Instead of being enthusiastic, she spoke coldly to her.

This scene was witnessed by Xiaofei's mother, who had just come out. She frowned and immediately rebuked Mark: "Look at your child! Like father, like son. Like parents, like children."

Mark clenched his fists in anger, his face turning bright red. He almost resorted to violence if he hadn't been desperately trying to restrain himself.

Upon hearing Xiao Fei's mother's accusations, Ma Li flew into a rage, her face turning red with anger. She immediately retorted, "How can you talk like that? You don't understand the situation at all, don't swear!"

Unexpectedly, Xiaofei's mother not only didn't stop, but went even further, verbally abusing Ma Li and yelling, "You have no manners! Look at your behavior!"

Then she turned her attention to Wang Xiaomi, "And you, what are you meddling in here for? It's all unjustified and none of your business!"

These words completely enraged Ma Li. Her eyes widened, and like an angry little leopard, she rushed forward and shoved Xiao Fei's mother forcefully.

Seeing this, Wang Xiaomi rushed over to break up the fight and try to separate the two.

In the chaos, Wang Xiaomi accidentally bumped into Xiao Fei's mother, which stirred up a hornet's nest. Xiao Fei's mother went berserk and immediately started fighting with Wang Xiaomi, scratching and clawing at her.

Mark was extremely anxious and struggled to pull them apart. In the chaos, Mark was punched hard by Xiao Fei's mother, which cut his lip. Wang Xiaomi's neck was also scratched, leaving several red marks.

Afterwards, Mark took Ma Li and Wang Xiaomi out to dinner, hoping to ease the tense atmosphere.

At the dinner table, Mark criticized and educated Ma Li and Wang Xiaomi, saying that no matter what, fighting is never right.

Ma Li, however, was indignant and retorted loudly, "We did nothing wrong! She started it by swearing, that's too much!"

However, after this incident, Ma Li's opinion of Wang Xiaomi changed significantly.

She started to like Wang Xiaomi, thinking that Wang Xiaomi's performance when breaking up the fight was incredibly cool, and that courage and sense of justice made her admire him.

After dinner, Ma Li's eyes lit up and she came up with a plan. She took Ma Nao out to play, deliberately leaving Mark and Wang Xiaomi some time alone.

After Ma Li left, Mark immediately changed his tune. He smiled and said to Wang Xiaomi, "Actually, you did the right thing today. I support you taking action. If this happens again, I'll hold the other person back while you beat her up. You can't tolerate this kind of person."

Wang Xiaomi looked at Mark with a puzzled expression and asked in confusion, "What's going on? Why are you suddenly saying this?"

Mark laughed heartily, his eyes filled with love and pride. He explained, "Of course, I did this to give you and Mary a chance to unite against a common enemy!"

Look, Ma Li has a strong personality. If she doesn't approve of you, we won't get along well in the future.

Now, thanks to this incident, she has developed feelings for you.

Otherwise, I don't know when I would have been able to marry you. Look how sensible our daughter is now, creating opportunities for us to be alone together.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaomi suddenly realized what was going on. She jumped up excitedly, leaped onto Mark, wrapped her arms around his neck, and showered him with kisses on the cheek. Her eyes sparkled with joy as she exclaimed, "Second Uncle, you're so clever! How come I didn't think of that?"

In the evening, Mark lazily nestled on the sofa to watch TV, but his mind was not on the programs at all.

His eyes kept glancing at the phone lying to the side, his hands seemingly possessed, constantly picking it up and putting it down, afraid of missing any call or message from Wang Xiaomi.

Even when he got up to go to the kitchen to cut fruit, he held his phone tightly in his hand, keeping it in front of his eyes, not wanting to take his eyes off the screen for even a moment.

As a result, in a moment of distraction, the knife slipped from his hand, and the sharp blade sliced ​​across his finger, causing blood to gush out immediately. However, Mark stared blankly at his bleeding finger, unable to come to his senses for a long time.

(Cheng Yi: Holy crap, I have 20 points in physique, but it hasn't improved my skin's defense at all. A small knife can make me bleed? Looks like I'm still just an ordinary person!)

All of this was observed by Ma Li, who was silently watching from the sidelines. She shook her head helplessly.

The next day, under bright sunshine, Ma Li made a special trip to the pet store to visit Wang Xiaomi. She carried a small bag containing carefully prepared vitamins and aloe vera gel.

Wang Xiaomi was busy in the store when she looked up and saw Ma Li coming. Her heart skipped a beat, thinking that Ma Li was here to cause trouble again.

Startled, she quickly hid behind Dai Anfen, like a frightened little rabbit, her eyes filled with vigilance.

Unexpectedly, Ma Li smiled and called her out alone. Standing on the street outside the store, Ma Li took a deep breath and then said to Wang Xiaomi with a sincere expression, "Sister Xiaomi, I came here today to thank you for your help the day before yesterday. If it weren't for you, the situation would have been even worse."

Also, I want to apologize to you on behalf of my dad; he accidentally hurt you.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaomi's face showed a touched expression, and she kept saying "It's okay, it's okay," but inside she was overjoyed. Her eyes darted around, and she casually said, "Sigh, maybe... Second Uncle doesn't like me that much."

Upon hearing this, Ma Li hurriedly explained, "Sister Xiaomi, please don't think like that! My dad really likes you very much, and he can't live without you."

You have no idea, he holds his phone like a precious treasure every day, just waiting for your call.

After saying that, Ma Li patted her chest and added, "And I also have to tell you that I like you a lot now. The reason I was rude to you before was because I was worried that you would let my dad down, since he is very important to me."

But through spending time with him these past few days, I've realized that only you can bring my dad that kind of genuine happiness. That kind of happiness that neither I, Manau, nor my mother can give him.

After hearing Ma Li's words, Wang Xiaomi was so moved that she didn't know what to say, and her eyes reddened slightly.

She grabbed Ma Li's hand and said excitedly, "Ma Li, you're such a good girl! Let's have dinner together after school today, it's my treat!"

Ma Li smiled and nodded.

Sunlight streamed down the street as Wang Xiaomi rode a cool motorcycle with Ma Li on the back, the wind whistling past them.

The two chatted and laughed all the way to a place to eat and shop. The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant, as if they were not stepmother and stepdaughter, but more like close friends who could talk about anything.

Before long, they arrived at the bustling shopping mall.

A large crowd gathered at the entrance of the mall; it turned out that a beauty salon was opening and was holding a free trial event.

The two curiously approached, only to discover that the beauty salon owner was Tian Ye.

At this moment, Tian Ye and Fang Yuan were standing at the entrance of the beauty salon, smiling and praising their daughter Ma Li for being beautiful.

But when her gaze fell on Wang Xiaomi, who was with Ma Li, her face instantly turned gloomy, as if a clear sky had suddenly been covered by dark clouds.

Ma Li seemed oblivious to Tian Ye's unusual behavior. She introduced him openly and confidently, saying, "This is Wang Xiaomi, Dad's girlfriend."

After saying that, she didn't forget to question Tian Ye: "Where did you get the money to open such a luxurious beauty salon in such a prime location?"

These words drew curious glances from those around them.

Tianye blushed with shame and wished he could disappear into the ground.

She hastily made up an excuse, saying the shop was too busy, and left in a hurry, leaving Fang Yuan looking astonished.

Wang Xiaomi was also taken aback by the sudden situation. She hurriedly pulled Ma Li away from the scene, like two frightened deer.

As soon as Mary got home, she rushed to Mark, shouting, "Dad, I have two pieces of news to tell you. One is good news, and the other is bad news."

The good news is that Mom opened a super luxurious beauty salon in a prime location! The bad news is that my older sister Wang Xiaomi's injury from the fight seems to have gotten infected, and she's currently hospitalized!

Upon hearing the news that Wang Xiaomi was injured and hospitalized, Mark became extremely anxious, and his expression changed.

Without saying a word, he rushed downstairs, his steps hurried and flustered, while urgently calling Wang Xiaomi as he ran.

Just then, a familiar telephone rang behind him. Filled with curiosity, he quickly turned around.

Wang Xiaomi was standing right behind him, her eyes sparkling, winking mischievously at him, looking like a child who had just pulled off a prank.

The next morning, sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains, and Mark went to wake Mary up as usual.

Upon entering the room, he noticed that Ma Li's face was flushed. He reached out and touched her forehead, finding it burning hot; she had a fever.

But today, there was something extremely important at school that Mark needed to handle, which put him in a difficult position.

As for Ma Li, she was feeling conflicted; she didn't want to see Tian Ye, nor did she want to see her grandmother. Max Sou paused for a moment, then asked softly, "How about letting Sister Xiaomi take care of you?"

Ma Li frowned and thought for a moment, then finally nodded.

As luck would have it, Wang Xiaomi called at that very moment.

Mark answered the phone and told Ma Li that she had a fever. Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaomi immediately offered to come and help take care of Ma Li.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Xiaomi rushed to the pharmacy, bought children's fever reducer, and went straight to Ma Li's house.

Upon arrival, she carefully gave Mary fever-reducing medicine and gently said to her, "Today I'll be your full-time nanny and take good care of you."

Upon hearing this, Ma Li smiled sweetly at Wang Xiaomi and affectionately called out, "Future stepmother."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaomi beamed with joy, looking as happy as a little fox who had stolen a chicken, her eyes narrowing into slits.

In the past, when Ma Li was sick, Tian Ye would always carefully stew a pot of delicious fish soup for her.

The fish soup seemed to have a magical power; every time Ma Li drank it, she felt much better and her condition improved.

This time, while sick, Ma Li lay in bed, her little face flushed from the fever. She looked at Wang Xiaomi with anticipation in her eyes and whispered, "Sister Xiaomi, I really want to drink fish soup. My mom always makes fish soup for me when I'm sick."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaomi readily agreed, eager to cook the most delicious fish soup for Ma Li.

After leaving Ma Li's room, Wang Xiaomi immediately called Mark and told him about Ma Li's thoughts.

Mark was taken aback for a moment on the other end of the phone, then couldn't help but laugh, teasing Wang Xiaomi for being so stubborn.

He told Wang Xiaomi, "Stop bothering with the fish soup. I'll give you an address. There's a restaurant near our house that Ma Li loves. I'll send you a list of some of Ma Li's favorite dishes, and you can just go and order."

Upon receiving the news, Wang Xiaomi rushed to the restaurant and ordered four dishes and a soup according to the menu Mark had given her.

The dishes looked and smelled delicious, and the soup was especially fragrant. Wang Xiaomi carefully took the food home and placed it on the dining table.

When Ma Li smelled the familiar aroma, she came out of her room and saw a table full of her favorite dishes. Her eyes lit up and she danced with joy.

As she ate, she kept praising, "Future stepmother, you're so thoughtful! These are all my favorite foods!"

In the afternoon, the sunlight lazily spilled into the yard. As usual, Ma Li's grandmother came to clean the house. She opened the door with practiced ease and went inside.

At this moment, Ma Li and Wang Xiaomi were in the living room.

Ma Li quickly introduced her to her grandmother, saying, "Grandma, this is my senior classmate. We met during our social practice."

Wang Xiaomi smiled nervously at her grandmother and nodded in acknowledgment.

Grandma put down what she was holding and casually asked, "Where's your mother? I haven't seen her."

Ma Li replied that Tian Ye had never returned.

Upon hearing this, Grandma frowned slightly, and a sense of doubt arose in her heart.

She pondered to herself, "Tianye isn't here, but there's a strange girl in the house. Could it be that Mark has another woman on the side?"

Wang Xiaomi noticed her grandmother's suspicious gaze and was terrified, her heart pounding like a rabbit's.

She was afraid that her grandmother would notice something was amiss, but she didn't know how to deal with it.

Just then, Mark came home from get off work. Ma Li and Wang Xiaomi exchanged a glance, immediately understanding each other, and together gave Mark a hint.

Ma Li covered her head and said to Mark in a coquettish tone, "Dad, my head hurts. Will you come with me to the hospital?"

Mark was taken aback at first, then realized what he meant and quickly agreed.

Then, the two looked at Wang Xiaomi, who immediately understood and said, "I'll come too. I have something to tell you."

And so, the three of them hurriedly left the house, leaving Grandma at home, and managed to escape the crisis unscathed.
