Chapter 6  : First Confrontation

Xiao Ying was disappointed and was about to tell them what she had prepared.

She felt as if someone had hit her calf with a rock.

She almost cried out in pain.

She saw another stone striking at a corner in front of her.

Then she felt something.

“Uncles and aunties, what’s that?”

With that, Xiao Ying ran towards the corner where the stone had struck.

She decided to take a gamble.

It didn’t matter if she had misunderstood. It didn’t matter where she said it.

Everyone’s hearts were thudding again.

They all followed.

Before they could get close, they heard an “Ah”.

Everyone quickened their pace.

The Xiao couple was already shocked by Xiao Ying’s sudden appearance.

Their faces turned green when they saw what was going on.

Xiao Ying looked at Xiao Ruoxuan, who was standing between the Xiao couple.

Xiao Ruoxuan was wearing a crown on her head and a cute princess dress.

Mr. and Mrs. Xiao were standing beside her with candles in their hands, singing a birthday song for her.

She had not expected them to have the same birthday.

When Xiao Ying thought about how she had suffered in her previous life and how they were also celebrating Xiao Ruoxuan’s birthday so sweetly, the anger in her heart intensified.

The people who came along felt that the excursion hadn’t been a waste after all.

They were all very excited about discovering such a big secret of the Xiao family.

But looking at the stunned Xiao Ying, how could there be such a coincidence?

Their suspicions were dispelled.

“Daddy, Mommy, why are you here? I brought my uncles and aunties here to see this.”

Xiao Ying opened the small bottle in her hand as she spoke.

Immediately, a bunch of fireflies flew out.

The night sky was especially beautiful.

Everyone was stunned by this glorious scene.

Especially Xiao Ying, who was standing in the middle of the fireflies. Her fair little face was raised and her two dimples were faintly discernible. She really looked like a fairy that had descended to the mortal world.

“Hmph!”

Suddenly, a cold snort broke the atmosphere.

Everyone looked over unhappily.

The girl who had just snorted was being hugged by Madam Xiao.

Feeling the gazes on her, Xiao Ruoxuan nervously shrunk back into Madam Xiao’s embrace.

Her petty look, compared to Xiao Ying’s natural and unrestrained manner, made everyone unhappy.

“Mommy, who is this girl?”

Xiao Ying’s words made everyone recall something.

The Xiao couple had not celebrated their own daughter’s birthday but had instead secretly celebrated the birthday of this little girl. This was really bizarre.

Seeing that the little girl resembled Xiao Lingbo, everyone looked over with probing eyes.

The Xiao couple froze, not knowing how to explain.

Madam Xiao put Xiao Ruoxuan down.

Xiao Ruoxuan pointed at Madam Xiao and shouted as soon as she was out of control.

“I’m not your sister. This is my mommy.”

As soon as she said this, the Xiao couple knew that they could not hide it anymore.

Xiao Ying was delighted in her heart. Xiao Ruoxuan, who had grown up, had deep thoughts and her acting skills were even better than Madam Xiao’s.

She was still a kid.

Xiao Ying exclaimed in surprise, “Mommy, is she my sister?”

Xiao Ruoxuan was unhappy. She picked up the cake on the table and threw it at Xiao Ying.

“I told you, I’m not your sister.”

This cake did not only hit Xiao Ying, but also the people behind her.

However, they could not argue with an ignorant child.

Everyone looked at the Xiao couple angrily.

The Xiao couple could only get Xiao Ruoxuan to apologize to everyone.

Because they felt it was their duty, Xiao Ruoxuan had been raised by the Xiao couple to be like the only child in the world. How could she bear such grievances?

She immediately burst into tears.

Everyone frowned at the deafening cries.

The Xiao couple could not calm Xiao Ruoxuan.

When they were no longer able to withstand the pressure, Xiao Ying stepped forth and apologized to everyone on behalf of Xiao Ruoxuan.

Such behavior received unanimous praise from everyone.

They hated Xiao Ruoxuan even more now.

Madam Xiao watched as Xiao Ying used Xiao Ruoxuan to climb the ranks, but she had no way to stop her.

She looked at Xiao Ruoxuan crying dramatically, snot and tears all over her face.

For the first time, Madam Xiao disliked her.

The banquet had ended as a farce.

Xiao Ying trailed behind the Xiao couple with a sly smile.

She was very satisfied with today’s unexpected surprise. Bringing Xiao Ruoxuan to the battlefield early would only benefit her.

Xiao Ying was feeling stunned when she suddenly heard a soft chuckle.

Then, she heard a mechanical voice say, “Master.”
