Until Zhou Minlei walked out of the auditorium, Xia Mu was still in place.

The cousin's hatred is clearly visible through a glass cover, but it is hard to touch, and Xia Mu can't understand it.

When she was young, she tasted the taste of betrayal for the first time. She didn't seek fame and fortune, but just because she couldn't bear the improvement of her situation, her cousin who grew up with her betrayed her sisterhood for more than ten years.

Dazed for a long time, a big pink cotton candy suddenly covered her sight. Xia Mu came back to her senses and looked sideways——Jiang Mei was holding a ball of cotton candy in one hand, and handing her one, said with a smile : "It was a big ball when I first bought it, but now it's a little smaller, eat it quickly!"

Xia Mu smiled gratefully at her, took the cotton candy, and felt a little relieved.

Jiang Mei looked at her suspiciously: "Why do you seem unhappy?"

Xia Mu sat down, looking lonely, "I regret participating in this play."

"Why?" Jiang Mei sat next to her with a look of surprise: "What a great opportunity! Do you know how many people auditioned for your role back then? It was more than twenty more than the adult Gu Sheng! If the crew Confirm the news of the crown prince's participation from the very beginning, and the audition team for young Gu Sheng may have to circle the world!"

Xia Mu was amused by her, and said with a wry smile: "I just auditioned for the salary at the time, I didn't expect that I would offend...some people when I got this role. You have also seen that from the beginning of the rehearsal, there have been many troubles, big and small. It’s never been broken, maybe I’m lacking in dealing with people, and I’m really not suitable for this luck.”

Jiang Mei clicked her tongue: "Don't take the responsibility on yourself. People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. You are playing the role of the little prince's favorite concubine. You are like a living target being held high. How many people are jealous, you will have a better life." ?

The problem is not with you, upstarts are always ridiculed by others, have you ever seen them regret being upstarts?What's more, you got this role not by luck, but by strength, so why blame yourself?

Just wait, on the first day of the play, there must be more praise than slander on the Internet.These days, most people still have judgment and a bottom line of morality. Instead of compromising with those jealous people, it is better to seize their own opportunities. "

Xia Mu felt relieved when he heard this.

When she returned home after the rehearsal, she decided not to compromise, and took the initiative to tell her parents about the matter, hoping to ask for their countermeasures.

Before Su Yumo finished listening, she was already so angry that she kept asking Xia Mu, "Did she really say that?"

It was the first time that Xia Mu was suspected by her mother, and she was so anxious that she swore that she never added fuel to it.

After listening to the whole story, Su Yumo took out her mobile phone with a murderous look on her face, and wanted to call Zhou Minlei, but felt puzzled, then got up and took out the car keys, and decided to kill Zhou Minlei's apartment directly.

"Yumo! Don't worry." Xia Ruian hurriedly stopped his wife.

Su Yumo shook off his hand, and said angrily, "Damn it! How have I treated her all these years! Just spoiling such a white-eyed wolf!"

"Don't be impulsive." Xia Rui'an hurriedly snatched her car keys, and persuaded: "I just want to go to your mother's house for dinner at noon tomorrow, when the time comes, the family will sit down and explain the problem calmly, and see how Min Lei treats our family. What resentment.

Her hostility towards Xia Mu must have been influenced by her family. I guess I heard your elder sister complaining about you a lot when I was a child. We have to have a good talk with their family. Disputes can only intensify the conflict. "

Su Yumo looked at her husband in disbelief: "Why are you getting more and more afraid of things? Am I still afraid of intensifying conflicts with these white-eyed wolves? How much have I paid for them? They just repay me like this!"

Xia Rui'an said anxiously: "It's because you have paid too much. If you turn your face on impulse now, or even beat his daughter up, you will lose any credit for the previous sacrifices. They will be able to be ungrateful with confidence in the future. Even The basic guilt is gone!"

Su Yumo was dizzy with anger: "It's a miracle that I married such a gentle man like you. When is the time, I don't care if they feel guilty or not! I just want that little white-eyed wolf to kneel down and apologize to my daughter in person! "

"You really don't care?" Xia Rui'an looked at his wife seriously: "Then why should she kneel down and apologize to us, because this is what she owes our family, doesn't it? I didn't want you to punish her mistake , I just don’t want you to waste so many years of hard work, let them be confident enough to come forward and teach her a lesson without being grateful, let me do it.”

Xia Mu was waiting to go to her cousin's house with her mother. When she heard what her father said, she immediately raised her head expectantly and asked, "Are you going to take me to beat my cousin, Dad?"

"..." The couple were silent for a moment, Qiqi turned to look at the eldest daughter, and said in unison: "Go do your homework."

Xia Mu was very disappointed, she pursed her lips and glared at her father, then turned around and walked upstairs dejectedly.

Xia Rui'an bowed her head and said to his wife, "You must set a good example for your daughter and don't advocate force to solve problems."

Su Yumo gave him a blank look, and said unwillingly, "I'll wait to see how you solve the problem peacefully at noon tomorrow. Speaking of which, if the Zhou family wants to be perfunctory, I will still teach them on the spot!"

"No problem." Xia Rui'an smiled honestly.

-

He didn't even have the patience to do exercises, and the draft paper on the desk was filled with curses like "Zhou Minlei is a scum! Go to hell, what kind of sister are you!"

Xia Mu put down the pen angrily.

When I confessed the incident to my parents just now, only my mother shared the same hatred with her, and my father remained silent from the beginning to the end, as if bowing his head in thought, without any anger at all.

Sure enough, only her mother loves her the most!

Xia Mu put away her schoolbag, the anger all over her body made her mouth dry.

I got up and went downstairs to find a drink. The light in the living room was off, but the kitchen was still on. I guess Dad was busy.

Xia Mu had to get water, and approached the kitchen reluctantly.

Dad's voice came out the door, as if he was talking on the phone.

Xia Mu took a deep breath and didn't want to drink any more water. Just as she was about to turn around and go upstairs, she heard her father's cold voice from the door——

"...If your aunt and cousin hadn't stopped me, your leg would have been broken by me now. I won't tell you about family affection. They have feelings for you, and I'm an outsider. I only know that you hurt me Baby girl's fame."

"Don't talk about changing files with me. What's the point of your little power? If I want Xia Mu to enter the university, I have a lot of connections. Do you need me to do such sneaky things? I I was worried that it would not be safe for her to go to that kind of school."

"Did you tell me and your aunt before you changed her file? We didn't bother with you, but you took credit for it?"

"You just need to know one thing. If you dare to slander my daughter again, I promise you will lose your job within a week, and the debt signed by your father will be paid to me within a month."

"Yes, I didn't write an IOU. Why, you still want to deny it? You don't know what I used to do? Our agents and hooligans have different methods of collecting debts. Believe it or not, I made your family regret asking us to borrow money?"

"Don't cry, who are you crying for? I'm not your aunt, and I won't be soft on you. Why didn't you think about this when you hurt my daughter?"

……

Xia Mu stood by the door like a sculpture, dumbfounded.

Is the person inside really her father?

Is it really that cute little husband who wears a floral apron all day long and asks her "Is the braised pork too sweet?"

Is it really the good citizen who taught her every day to "be modest, reasonable and law-abiding"!

Absolutely not!This is clearly the aura of a gang boss! ! !

There was silence all around.

The heart-piercing cry of my cousin came clearly from the receiver of the mobile phone.

for a long time.

Feeling moved, Xia Mu quietly looked into the kitchen with her head, and silently mouthed to her father's tall back, "Dad, you are the best."

Turn around and tiptoe upstairs.

For more than two consecutive months, her heart has never been so at ease.

-

On weekends, when grandpa celebrated his birthday, Xia Mu's family came to grandma's house for lunch.

As soon as they saw Xia Rui'an entering the door, the Zhou family couple stood up abruptly, and stood up to greet them awkwardly and fawningly.

Xia Mu secretly squinted at his cousin sitting in the corner of the sofa in the living room——

Zhou Minlei's eyes were crying like rotten peaches, and she cowered and hid behind her parents, not even daring to look at Xia Mu's father.

Grandpa and grandma were watching TV, but they didn't notice the strange atmosphere.

Seeing Su Yumo enter the door, grandma got up immediately, went to the refrigerator to take out a bottle of side dishes she had pickled herself, and told her daughter to remember to take it away before going home.

"Keep it for yourself, mom, there are plenty of cold dishes like this in supermarkets." Su Yumo frowned awkwardly and refused.

Grandma brags endlessly that the vegetables grown in her backyard are all green and pollution-free vegetables, which cannot be bought in the market.

Xia Mu hasn't been to her grandmother's house for nearly two months. Since the family owed a huge debt, her mother rarely visits relatives.

Grandma looks forward to the stars and the moon every day, and waits for her daughter's family to come to visit. At this moment, she is looking forward to seeing Xia Mu and Xia Duoduo. I am worried that these two brats will fight over unfair distribution just like they did when they were young.

The adults went to talk in the back room, and Xia Mu and Dodo were brought to the living room by grandma to watch TV.

Zhou Minlei sat in the corner of the sofa in silence.

When Xia Mu passed in front of her, he clearly felt her giving him a resentful look.

Xia Mu stared back at her coldly, and sat far away on the other corner of the sofa.

The three girls sat silently, only Xia Duoduo eagerly opened the potato chips and ate them as usual.

As soon as she saw Xia Duoduo gobbling it up, grandma was overjoyed, and deliberately put down the corner of her mouth to teach: "You two little ones have been scrambling for snacks since you were young, and you always ask Minmin for something to eat."

When Zhou Minlei heard her grandmother mention things about her childhood, she turned her head away uncomfortably.

When grandma talked about the old days, she worked hard: "When you were not born, Minmin ate fast, and when you have two little greedy cats, she will immediately look like a big sister, and every time she deliberately saves snacks, waiting for you two. Chase her for food."

As soon as the words were finished, Xia Mu and Zhou Minlei looked at each other at the same time, suddenly embarrassed, they stared at each other and looked away.
