The school arranged a permanent position for Xue Suyun at the best school in her hometown county. In fact, with her Nanjing Foreign Language School diploma, she could have found a good job even without the school's help, but since she was returning to the county, Xue Suyun wanted to maximize her own interests.

In addition, Xia Mingyuan privately compensated Xue Suyun with a small house in the local area.

The matter of Xia Jiaojiao drugging him was left unresolved.

Throughout the entire process, Xia Mingyuan was the one running around, while Xia Jiaojiao didn't even have to leave the house, let alone apologize or anything, as if the whole thing had nothing to do with her.

With Xue Suyun's departure, it seemed that everything had settled down.

Xia family.

"Xia Jiaojiao, let me tell you, if you dare to cause trouble again after this, if you provoke Qiao Nansheng and Song Lingge again, I'll definitely break your legs," Xia Mingyuan roared angrily.

Originally, he didn't expect her to be very successful, but after falling in love with Qiao Nansheng, Xia Jiaojiao changed a lot and was willing to learn better, which Xia Mingyuan was happy to see.

But who would have thought that since everyone else had already officially announced their relationship, Xia Jiaojiao was still so clueless as to try to interfere. That was just too inconsiderate of her.

Back then, it was he who used his connections to secure a spot for Song Lingge after she gave up on going abroad.

Now that she's returned with a gilded coat of gold, even if she doesn't end up with Qiao Nansheng, she has plenty of good options.

However, if Xia Jiaojiao continues to be so stubborn and causes such a big mess, and encounters someone difficult to talk to, her life will probably be over. She will also drag him down. Forget about leveling up, she probably won't even be able to keep her current position as master.

Xia Jiaojiao's silence infuriated Xia Mingyuan: "Did you hear what I said? Are you deaf?"

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves, ready to make a move, but Li Fangna stopped him.

“It’s all in the past, why are you still acting like this? Go outside and calm down, I’ll talk to her.”

After chasing Xia Mingyuan away, Li Fangna sat down next to Xia Jiaojiao.

Xia Jiaojiao moved to the side, but Li Fangna didn't seem to care. She then gently brushed the stray hairs from Xia Jiaojiao's forehead, which Xia Jiaojiao also blocked.

Li Fangna glared at her: "Xia Jiaojiao, stop this nonsense. We hit you a little too hard, and I don't blame you for being upset, but it's been several days already. There's no need to be this angry anymore. And tell me honestly, were we right to hit you?"

In the past, Xia Jiaojiao would have been willing to listen if Li Fangna played the virtuous role.

But this time was different. Xia Jiaojiao realized that when their interests were threatened, she, as an only child, was no match for them.

They never consider her feelings or her love.

When they played mixed doubles, it was obvious that they had already disrupted her feelings for them.

Xia Jiaojiao will no longer listen to anyone, since no one will consider her thoughts anyway; she will only live for herself from now on.

She was just fighting for love. What's wrong with giving it her all for love?

Why does no one understand her? Why do they trample on her love?

"Okay, don't be angry." Seeing that Xia Jiaojiao remained silent, Li Fangna assumed that she was still embarrassed, so she softened her tone.

"Mom knows you've always liked Qiao Nansheng. Before, when you were all enthusiastic about him, your parents never discouraged you, right? But things are different now. Other couples are participating in activities together, and you're still shamelessly rushing in like this. That's really not good."

"I didn't just blindly rush in. Nansheng and I were already on good terms when we were in the UK. It's all because Song Lingge seduced him after he returned to China. Song Lingge is wicked. Otherwise, why didn't we see her and Nansheng together when we were in China? This time, she saw that Nansheng and I were getting better and better in the UK, and as soon as Nansheng returned to China, she used some tricks. I'm not reconciled," Xia Jiaojiao cried.

"You're not reconciled? What makes you think you're not reconciled? You've been chasing Qiao Nansheng for years, has he ever paid you any attention?" Xia Mingyuan rushed in again. It turned out he hadn't gone far and had been eavesdropping outside the door.

When he heard Xia Jiaojiao's stubbornness, he couldn't hold back any longer and rushed in to yell at her again.

"Tsk—" Li Fangna frowned and pushed Xia Mingyuan out, "Didn't I tell you to go out and calm down? Let me talk to her."

Xia Mingyuan once again instructed Xia Jiaojiao: "Give up on Qiao Nansheng. At least until he breaks up with Song Lingge, you better behave yourself. If you dare to go out and mess around again, don't blame me for not showing any fatherly affection."

"You haven't started reading yet!" Xia Jiaojiao muttered softly.

"What did you say?" Xia Mingyuan shouted loudly, startling Xia Jiaojiao.

Xia Mingyuan wasn't old enough to be unable to hear. The key was that Xia Jiaojiao's unruly face was full of resentment, and it was easy to guess what she was going to say—it certainly wasn't anything nice.

Xia Jiaojiao dared not argue back anymore, and could only lower her head and roll her eyes to express her dissatisfaction.

"Do you know how much money the family spent to smooth things over because of this commotion? And you're still being disobedient. I really want to slap you to death." Xia Mingyuan was truly furious.

The money he used to buy Xue Suyun's house was his savings of many years, and it really hurt to spend it.

"Okay, okay, you go out for a walk first, let me talk to her properly." Li Fangna persuaded him gently, while winking at him and whispering, "You're hoping she won't cause trouble later, so let me try to persuade her first."

Both father and daughter have fiery tempers and neither is willing to back down. If they keep arguing, things will probably get out of control again.

"It's all your fault for spoiling her. Look what she's become!" Xia Mingyuan cursed as he left home.

Staying at home any longer might actually make me sick from all the stress.

This time, Li Fangna learned her lesson and locked the door from the inside. Even if Xia Mingyuan was eavesdropping outside, she wasn't afraid he would break in again.

"Are you relieved now? My daughter and I can have a proper talk now." Li Fangna had to coax Xia Jiaojiao into thinking that she and her daughter were on the same side.

However, Li Fangna didn't know that the beating she gave that night, while venting her anger, had already aroused Xia Jiaojiao's jealousy.

Xia Jiaojiao is no longer the child who could be easily coaxed when she was little.

"You say Song Lingge seduced Qiao Nansheng, but don't you think about why you didn't have the ability to seduce him? In the UK, the two of you were far from home, and you didn't seize such a good opportunity. Now that you're back in the country, all you do is take your anger out on his new lover. How stupid can you be?"

It has to be said that no one knows a daughter better than her mother; Li Fangna knew exactly what to say to pique Xia Jiaojiao's interest.

Sure enough, Xia Jiaojiao became very interested: "What do you mean? Do you want me to seduce Qiao Nansheng too?"
