Chapter 113 The Delicate Little Crybaby 22
Tao Yao looked at the woman in front of him who was crying like a monster, and felt sad.
"Mom and Dad shouldn't have married you to Xu Siming. How could this beast do this to you? Luckily, my daughter is lucky. Come back home with mom and dad. Mom and dad shouldn't have expected to leave you to be taken care of by others. Daughter, come back with mom and dad, and we will live a good life as a family of three."
Tao Yao pulled her hand out of the woman's, the expression on her face cold and distant.
"No need, Mom and Dad. You should just go back and stay home. I'm fine. I've divorced Xu Siming and I can support myself."
Mother Xia felt a dull pain in her heart when she saw her cold eyes. She shouldn't have been so soft-hearted and handed her daughter over to someone else as a burden.
"I've also taken the house back from the Xu family. After we finish this meal, I'll take you back."
Xia's mother knew that Xia Xi was angry, so she lowered her head and cried while eating. Xia's father had been strict with Xia Xi since she was a child. Xia Xi had been treated as a freak since she was born, and her parents had no patience with her.
Both of them are teachers and they focus all their attention on their students. Xia Xi has been taken care of by her grandparents since she was very young. Later, Xia's father came to teach at the university here, and Xia's mother followed him.
Xia Xi was left in her hometown. When she was in her teens, her mother finally remembered her daughter. When Xia Xi came to her mother, the first thing she saw was her big belly. She was pregnant again.
But this baby was not saved and Xia's mother had a miscarriage. During her confinement period, she cried every day and suffered from postpartum depression. She even began to blame Xia Xi. The baby in her belly was gone when Xia Xi came. She regarded Xia Xi as the real culprit who killed her child.
Xia Xi grew up in such an environment. Even if others hurt her, she would only blame herself first. She was inferior and sensitive, and would only hide and cry alone when she was deceived and used by others.
Tao Yao saw Xia's mother hesitating and lowering her head, and she felt something was wrong, so she poked Xia's father.
Father Xia cleared his throat and said, "Xia Xi, we came here this time to tell you a good news. Your mother has given birth to another brother for you. If you have time, come back and see him. Your brother is almost three years old and will be going to kindergarten soon."
Father Xia started talking, and Mother Xia immediately smiled awkwardly, then took out her cell phone. Tao Yao saw the little boy on her cell phone screensaver.
"Look, this is your little brother. Isn't he adorable? Your dad and I didn't dare tell you before because we were afraid you wouldn't be able to accept it. I'm old now, and this is considered a treasure trove. If I tell you, I'm afraid you'll be laughed at. Come back and see him when you have time."
Tao Yao sneered, "Well, I'll go back when I have time. Congratulations on the birth of your baby."
Taoyao's expression was calm, even indifferent. Mother Xia looked at Father Xia with some suspicion.
"Son, your parents know we owe you a lot. Your mom and I transferred the marital home to your name before you got married. Here's 200,000 yuan. Take it. It's not easy for you to be here alone."
Tao Yao looked at the bank card that Xia's father handed over and said, "No need, I have money."
Mother Xia stuffed the card into Taoyao's hand and said, "Here, my child, your parents didn't give you the money so that you can support your brother. Your brother has us. Just live your life peacefully. Your parents know they feel guilty about you."
Tao Yao sent Father and Mother Xia away, and her life gradually returned to normal. During this period, she went to the mental hospital to visit the two sisters of the Xu family. Xu Hehua had one kidney removed, and Xu Meihua was even worse off. Her body was covered with needle marks, and it was obvious that she was being used as a guinea pig by those people.
Xu Hehua's condition was relatively good. She lived comfortably in the mental hospital every day, acting crazy. Xu Meihua was unable to move her whole body and became a vegetable, with only her eyeballs moving.
Old Mrs. Xu was sent to the hospital by Taoyao, and she was barely able to survive every day.
Tao Yao never thought that one day she would see Xu Lanhua who escaped from Xu's house on the news. Xu Lanhua was caught by the police for stealing property.
Jiang Xuqing hadn't come to see her for a long time. That day, the teacher in the office introduced Tao Yao to a blind date. Tao Yao looked at herself in the mirror. She was a woman in a pink waist-hugging dress, with a face as rosy as a peach blossom, a slender figure, and exposed skin as white as jade.
She helped Jiang Xuqing get rid of a big worry. Recently, Jiang Xuqing was probably busy with promotion and making money and had no time to pay attention to her.
Tao Yao took a sip of juice. The man opposite her looked gentle and was said to be a government worker, and a minor official at that.
"Miss Xia, I heard that you just got divorced. I think we can get along well. I'm quite satisfied with you."
Tao Yao looked out the window with a lack of interest. She came to this blind date today to catch her big fish, so it would be okay to be patient.
Tao Yao didn't say anything, and the man opposite her thought she was shy.
"Miss Xia, our family is quite traditional. I hope my future wife can stay at home to take care of the family after we get married. This has been our tradition for thousands of years. I wonder what Miss Xia thinks."
Tao Yao really wanted to roll her eyes at this arrogant man. He really thought he was the emperor, and he even took care of his husband and children. Isn't that just looking for a free babysitter? And he said it so nicely.
But on the surface, Taoyao still pretends to be a good woman who obeys everything.
"I'm fine with either. I don't have any big demands."
When the man opposite heard that she agreed, he was about to grab Tao Yao's wrist, but Tao Yao's eyes darkened and he dodged.
"Miss Xia, since we hit it off so well, why don't you go out and get to know each other better tonight?"
Tao Yao suppressed her disgust and gritted her teeth, "No. I have to prepare lessons tonight, so I don't have time."
After she refused, she stood up and was about to leave, but the wretched man opposite immediately stopped her.
"Miss Xia, I don't mind your second marriage. What are you hiding from? You're just a second-hand commodity, a worn-out slut. Why are you pretending to be so reserved?"
Tao Yao took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down and not bother with such a man.
"Sir, we're just on a blind date. Isn't it normal for me to reject you?"
The wretched man still refused to give in and was about to grab her with his big hands. Tao Yao saw the hem of a black coat in the corner and she deliberately hesitated for a few seconds.
The wretched man grabbed Tao Yao's wrist with his big hand, and his greasy pig mouth was about to touch Tao Yao's face.
Suddenly, he was kicked to the ground with a flying kick. The wretched man lay on the ground cursing angrily.
"Fuck you, that blind man, you dare to kick me, I'll kill you today."
Taoyao's waist was held by a pair of big hands, and a familiar sandalwood scent filled her nose.
"His hand touched you just now."
Taoyao's little face turned pale with fear, and Jiang Xuqing looked up and glared at the man in the apron on the ground.
"Section Chief Li is so arrogant that he even dares to touch my woman."
When the wretched man saw Jiang Xuqing, he immediately lay on the ground like a dog, crawled over and knelt in front of Jiang Xuqing.
"Mayor Jiang, the flood really washed away the Dragon King Temple. Family members don't recognize each other anymore. It was all a misunderstanding just now."
Jiang Xuqing sneered, "I don't know if it was a misunderstanding, but I saw with my own eyes that your pig hand touched a place it shouldn't have touched."
