In public, Liu Yan spoke in a low voice, but Jiang Xue did not answer directly without being polite.

Seeing that the shop assistants around were all looking in their direction, Liu Yan's cheeks felt a little hot under everyone's scrutiny.

She wanted to get angry, but looking at her daughter's indifferent eyes, she remembered the mental preparation she had made to not get angry, to control her temper and to get along well with her daughter, and she tried hard to calm herself down.

She forced a smile and said, "Xiaoxue, I know you are angry with me now. We are mother and daughter, and you are my flesh and blood. If I have done anything wrong to make you sad before, I apologize to you. Please don't hold it against me, and don't be angry with me."

"Mom admits that I was biased before, but I won't do that anymore. I will treat you and Jiang Lu fairly."

"Or maybe you'll forgive your mother after seeing how I compensate you."

Jiang Xue looked at the mother in front of her and found that she was really adaptable.

In her previous life, she struggled painfully amid such words.

Lack of love is the evil that her parents did to her, and this evil has a deeper impact on her than she expected.

Among the three children in her previous life, she was the most filial.

They paid the most money, and it seemed like they had found a lifeline.

Flattering, attentiveness, care, and then control.

When she was twenty-five or twenty-six, I was afraid that she would fall in love and get married outside.

She cried and asked her to go on a blind date in her hometown, wanting to keep her there.

When she learned that she had a boyfriend, she acted like a responsible parent and said she wanted to take a look. Jiang Xue was so annoyed by the nagging that she took her then-boyfriend back home.

He was very polite in front of her, but changed his attitude behind her back and became picky, saying that Jiang Xue had to take care of them in their old age, and that they would live with their eldest daughter in the future, and that she would also live with them after they got married, and would help them raise the children if they had them in the future.

They require the other party to have a house and a car and a high bride price, saying that this is the custom in their hometown.

In front of her, she would belittle her boyfriend's family and work.

Tell Jiang Xue tactfully that she can find someone better with her conditions.

The boyfriend at the time tactfully told Jiang Xue about these things. Jiang Xue listened quietly and said, "Ignore them and don't worry. Besides, we won't get married."

"Why are you dating me if we're not getting married?"

"I told you before that this is just a relationship. I'm afraid of marriage and don't want to get married."

"I know you are afraid of getting married, can you give me a chance?"

In the end, they broke up, just like all their previous relationships.

At that time, the parents felt that they had played a role. Finally, their useful daughter would not have to marry so far away and would no longer have to worry about them.

So, parents’ love for their children is not selfless, but profitable.

Her childhood experiences influenced her views on love and values.

It makes her afraid to enter into marriage, unable to handle intimate relationships well, afraid of internal friction in intimate relationships, too concerned about the other person's feelings, and lose her self.

Afraid of giving birth to my own child, afraid that I won’t love the child after giving birth, afraid that I will eventually become like my mother.

She was reborn, and she thought she would embrace a new and bright new life, but why couldn't she face them calmly?

Whenever she saw them or heard any news about them, she would unconsciously become irritable and anxious.

Some wounds may appear to have healed on the surface, but they may still be inflamed and festering inside. In this case, just scratch them again.

"Just pretend you never gave birth to me, and never appear in my world again." Liu Yan frowned after listening to this, and wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by the phone.

It was Jiang Haiyang who called.

"You asked me to book a place to eat. I've booked a hot pot restaurant in the new shopping mall near Times Square. I've already called to make a reservation. I'll pick up Jiang Chao and Jiang Lu and go there directly. You, Xiaoxue, and mom can also go."

"Also, I have called my eldest sister and her husband. When you go over, order more dishes. Don't be stingy with the money."

"Okay." Liu Yan wanted to say something to Jiang Xue after hanging up the phone. Her mother-in-law came out after trying on clothes. She thought that her mother-in-law could reply to anything she said, and if she said anything about Jiang Xue, her mother-in-law would defend her. So she chose to keep silent.

I told Grandma Jiang about dinner. Grandma Jiang didn't want to eat hot pot, but Jiang Xue said she would take her to eat steak, which is what foreigners eat. But thinking of her eldest daughter and son-in-law whom she hadn't seen for a long time, Grandma Jiang reluctantly agreed.

At the round table, Liu Yan placed her in the middle of the twins in order to have a better relationship with her younger siblings.

My eldest sister and her family hadn’t arrived yet, so we didn’t start eating and just chatted.

"Xiaoxue, please help me talk to them. Their grades are only average in the class. I don't expect them to have grades as good as yours. I will be satisfied if they can get into high school and study in an ordinary university."

After listening to this, Jiang Lu gestured to Jiang Chao and curled her lips.

"The quality of your grades cannot be determined by what others say. In addition to IQ, it is also closely related to your education, mom. Look at the children raised by grandma, they all have good grades. And the two you raise..." Jiang Xue glanced at the two of them and did not say the rest, but the destructive power was huge.

Liu Yan has always boasted that the children she raises are better than those raised by her mother-in-law. Now, when she hears her daughter say this, of course she can't accept it.

"Jiang Xue, how do you talk to your mother? You are so rude. And what's that look in your eyes!" Jiang Lu, who was standing by, was hurt by Jiang Xue's gaze and asked accusingly.

Jiang Xue looked directly at Jiang Lu, "You are polite. I don't even need to call you polite."

Before Jiang Lu could say anything, Grandma Jiang beside her immediately took over Jiang Xue's words: "Jiang Lu, your sister is right. After all, your sister is older than you. It is wrong for you to call her by her name."

"Sister." Jiang Lu called out reluctantly, then stopped talking and sulked aside.

"What Xiaoxue said just now is true. Jiang Xian is a college student, not to mention Xiaoxue's excellent grades. And the two boys from the old family have also been admitted to No. 1 Middle School. I guess they won't be too bad in the future. I always think that it is not very useful for children to go to school more."

"When I was in charge of them before, the first thing they did after school every day was for the four children to lie on a big bench and do their homework together. Each one was more hardworking than the other." Jiang Xue thought about her childhood memories. The reason why they were so enthusiastic about doing their homework at that time was that if they didn't do their homework, they would be asked to do various housework.

So the four of them unanimously decided to do their homework, because doing homework and reading books are easier than doing housework.

"When their grandfather was alive, he also said that going to school and passing the exams was their only way out. I agree with the old man on this point. The children I taught were very self-motivated and their grades were top-notch in the class. The teachers all praised me for my good education. You let such a good child drop out of school and go out to work. Yan Zi, you are too short-sighted. Fortunately, Xiao Xue worked hard, otherwise she would have been ruined by you."

Liu Yan really wanted her mother-in-law to shut up. Her mother-in-law was really bad. Jiang Xue had always had a rift with her about dropping out of school, but she still brought it up, belittling her to show off herself. Seeing that Jiang Xue and Jiang Haiyang both had expressions of approval, she became even more angry.
