"Auntie, our plan didn't work."

"Do you still want to succeed Now that Ho Ching hasn't sold us out, it's not bad. I tell you, don't mess with me at this time, or I'll be the first to kill you!"

Gu Qinglian, who had been on edge these past two days, immediately flew into a rage when her niece brought it up again.

They've really been in the thick of it these past two days.

After the banquet affair broke out, the failed plan caught them off guard. They didn't expect Huo Sijue to act like a madman and immediately take down the Chi family, even sending his own aunt to the police station.

Had she not acted swiftly, and soothed her before Ho Ying-e confessed, promising that her family would be safe and sound.

I'm afraid that both the aunt and her niece probably can't stand here now.

Gu Qinglian was at her wits' end, trying to appease the situation again.

Gu Xia saw his expression and stopped talking. He kept looking at the book in his hand, and the words on it— "Genetic Defect Schizophrenia."

Schizophrenia, it seems she was right after all.

That man actually hid such an astonishing secret, so how could they, the aunt and niece, still be oppressed by him now They have the biggest trump card in their hands, don't they

This woman's crimson nails caressed the letters, and finally smiled with satisfaction...

Wen Xuxu slept more soundly than usual that night.

Probably because she finally let go of one worry, and also, her body wasn't completely recovered yet. She ran out of the hospital directly.

So, the next day when she woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.

"Brother, are we going to wait for Mommy to eat dumplings together"

"Well, it's Little New Year's Day today."

In the quiet room, a child's soft and sweet voice can be heard whispering.

Wen Xixi immediately got up and saw two little kids sitting on the tatami mat near the window in her bedroom.

One is handsome and cool, the other is cute and milky.

It was precisely Huo Yin and his younger sister, Ruo Ruo.

Wen Xuxu came down from the bed: "Good morning, little ones."

"Wow, Mommy, you're finally up!" Xiaoru heard and immediately jumped down from the tatami mat, running into her mommy's arms.

Wen Xuxu bent down and hugged her, her gaze turned to the eldest son who was also walking towards her.

"Sorry, Mommy overslept. Have you eaten yet"

"Not yet, Auntie Wang downstairs made dumplings. It's Little New Year today, but Grandpa and that annoying bad woman came too, Mommy, are you going down"

Suddenly, Xiaoruo in Mommy's arms blinked her big eyes and asked.

Wen Xixi was startled.

Grandpa and the bad woman

What did she say...

"Mommy, don't go down, they will bring you up." Huo Yin made a cold and decisive decision. That domineering and ruthless look was just like his father.

Wen Xixi was instantly touched.

She held her son close, embracing him in her arms. She gently rubbed his little head affectionately.

But, feelings aside, since her grandfather and that woman had come, she definitely still had to go down and see them. Maybe they were the ones who came looking for her after all.

Wen Xixi recalling yesterday's chaos, her pale lips curled into a wry smile.

Then, she sent the child out and went in to wash up herself.

After about ten minutes, when she came out again, she was dressed elegantly and radiant. Even her complexion, which had previously been pale with illness, showed no sign of it.

"Mommy..."

Little Ruoruo didn't go down either. She wasn't familiar with the people downstairs and was a bit timid, so she stayed upstairs waiting for her mommy.

When Wen Xuxu saw this, she stepped forward and took her daughter's hand.

Then the mother and daughter finally came down from the floor.

"Nuan Nuan, you're finally here! The dumplings are all ready, just waiting for you to come and eat."

To my surprise, when I arrived, the person in the hall was Gu Xia. She wore a shawl and her chestnut curls were casually pinned back with a clip.

At this time, seeing Wen Xuxu come down, they immediately greeted her enthusiastically.

Wen Xuxu raised her eyebrows slightly, probably a little unaccustomed to such a drastic change in her appearance.

How about it

Has this woman changed her tactics today Is she playing the role of a virtuous housewife here

Wen Xuxu, with her children, walked past her expressionlessly: "Wang Jie, are the kids' breakfasts ready"

"Alright, Miss Ruoruo's milk, Young Master Yin Yin's rice porridge, and Young Master Mo Mo's Portuguese egg tart are all ready. They're just waiting for you to come down and eat."

Wang Jie answered cheerfully in the kitchen, her tone completely unconcerned that Gu Xia had come over early and been bustling around as if she were already the future mistress of the house.

Wen Xuxu then took the children inside.

From beginning to end, she didn't glance at this woman once.

Gu Xia saw it, in a split second, the facade of virtuousness she had maintained all morning shattered. Her teeth gritted together with a grinding sound, wishing she could dump all those dumplings into the trash.

But soon, when she saw the old man at the door coming in with two children, her smile returned.

"Hobber, she's down now. Let's go have breakfast."

"Hmm."

The old man, leaning on a cane, nodded and then passed by with the two children.

In the kitchen, Wen Xixixi also came in with her daughter.nswered his son's question nonchalantly, just as if he were discussing any business deal at the company.Huo Yin finally stopped talking.He wasn't Mo Bao, he had never stayed by Mommy's side. He couldn...
