"Mom, have you ever seen a mom that sabotages her own son like this? I was counting on you to put in a good word for with Yaoyao." Xu Haoyang looked at his mother hanging up the phone, the picture of aggrieved. "Dad, you’re not even going to do anything about Mom. When Yaoyao, your prospective daughter-in-law, flies the coop, you guys can just wait for your son to stay single for life."
Xu Haoyang’s words earned him an eye roll from Father Xu: "If Yaoyao doesn’t want you, you deserve to be single for the rest of your life. Anyway, your mom and I only recognize Yaoyao as the daughter-in-law."
Not only Mother Xu but also Father Xu were particularly pleased with Xiao Shiyao. Whether it was her background, her personality, her upbringing, or even her looks, they saw her as one in ten thousand. Most importantly, she especially t both their expectations.
With Xiao Shiyao as the outstanding figure, no other could catch the eyes of the couple.
Xu Haoyang wisely shut his mouth, realizing that in his family, he was ranked the lowest.
"Haoyang, Mom knows that this ti, it wasn’t really your fault. You didn’t have any ambiguous relationship with that Wu Xinyu, nor did you do anything to betray Yaoyao. But the fact that Yaoyao felt aggrieved is your fault; you didn’t handle things properly. You should make it clear to everyone out there that Yaoyao is the only girlfriend you can have. You can’t let those girls think they’ve still got a chance. Son, this is a piece of advice from soone who’s been there. This ti, Yaoyao isn’t mad at you, but ti and ti again, it’ll wear out a girl’s love for you," Mother Xu said.
"Mom, I get it," Xu Haoyang took his mother’s words to heart.
How could he not take it to heart? Thinking back to the scene last night still scared him witless.
He didn’t even want to think about it—if Xiao Shiyao really decided to break up with him over this incident, what would he do?
Just the thought of it was so painful it left him breathless. If Xiao Shiyao really left him, he feared he would go insane.
"Now that you know, go to bed. I can’t be wasting ti with you here; I need to get my beauty sleep so I can go shopping and have lunch with Yaoyao tomorrow." Saying this, Mother Xu left Xu Haoyang and Father Xu to their own devices and went upstairs to bed.

Xiao Shiyao had a good night’s sleep after letting out her fury yesterday.
As for Wu Xinyu and Zhang Yue, she wasn’t ready to let it go just like that. After so consideration, she decided to seek her Big Brother’s help in dealing with the two of them.
However, Xiao Shiyao was baffled by the sight in front of her; the faces and eyes were so swollen, she almost couldn’t recognize who they were. Only when they spoke and she heard their voices did she realize that these were none other than Zhang Yue, who had badmouthed her yesterday, and Wu Xinyu, who had tried to drive a wedge between her and Xu Haoyang.
How could one night change their faces and eyes to look like this?
"Did you guys get robbed on your way ho last night?" Xiao Shiyao finished speaking and, looking at their faces, thought it was improbable: "That doesn’t seem right. If it had been a robbery, you two wouldn’t look like this now. Was it a mugging? You must have incredibly bad luck to have encountered sothing like this."
Wu Xinyu and Zhang Yue hated Xiao Shiyao to death, but due to family pressure, they had no choice but to lower their heads to Xiao Shiyao. However, before either of them had the chance to speak, they were already mocked by Xiao Shiyao, which was quite a statent.
If it were in the past, as soon as Xiao Shiyao uttered these words, Zhang Yue, with her temper, would probably have gotten into a fight with Xiao Shiyao. Even now, as she looked at Xiao Shiyao, Zhang Yue didn’t speak in a very friendly tone: "Xiao Shiyao, don’t gloat over our misfortune." Because her face was swollen, Zhang Yue’s speech was unclear.
Xiao Shiyao indicated that fortunately, her hearing was good enough to understand what Zhang Yue was saying. ", gloating? Aren’t I just showing concern for you two? Of course, you can interpret it however you like. I have no objections. However, ladies, if you both think that I would take pleasure in your misfortune, why did you even co to find ? I have said all that needed to be said yesterday."
Zhang Yue has always been thoughtless, often used by Wu Xinyu as a pawn without even realizing it. Right now, Wu Xinyu hadn’t uttered a single word, but Zhang Yue was the one who poured out a stream of words. Moreover, they were all words that offended Xiao Shiyao.
"Xiao Shiyao, since you’ve said everything you had to say yesterday, why are you still playing these tricks behind the scenes? If it wasn’t for you, would we have ended up like this?" Zhang Yue pointed to her own face and Wu Xinyu’s face, speaking to Xiao Shiyao.
The classmates in the classroom listened to the dialogue between Zhang Yue and Xiao Shiyao, and they whispered among themselves.
Everyone was curious about what had actually happened. And it was precisely the unknown that stirred up their curiosity.
"? I certainly don’t rember paying anyone to block your way. Zhang Yue, don’t wrongly accuse others. Otherwise, I have the right to sue you for slander." Xiao Shiyao’s smile faded from her face.
She had no idea how these two got the injuries on their faces. But lo and behold, they ca right up and pinned the bla on her.
"You didn’t hire soone to block us. But you did use underhanded thods behind our backs, leveraging your identity as the Eldest Miss Xiao to seek revenge on our families. Otherwise, why would we have been beaten by our own parents?" Zhang Yue shouted.
Xiao Shiyao was puzzled; she hadn’t even had the chance to call her Big Brother yet. Who could it be, taking action so quickly already?
Regardless of who it was, this move resonated deeply with Xiao Shiyao’s heart. "Aiyoyo, so it’s only okay for you to use tricks against behind my back, and not alright for to do the sa? No, I’m not doing this behind anyone’s back, I’m acting openly and honestly. Let tell you, Zhang Yue and Wu Xinyu, you both have offended , and this matter won’t be settled easily. I’ll treat others the way they treat ; this, I assu, is sothing you both should understand well."
Hearing Xiao Shiyao’s words, Wu Xinyu’s expression suddenly changed. "Xiao Shiyao, we know we were wrong, can’t you let us off just this once?"
"When you two tead up to sche against , did you ever think of letting off? That’s enough, both of you disappear from my sight, or else I might do sothing to make your families vanish from Capital City." Since Zhang Yue and Wu Xinyu had already created this persona for her, Xiao Shiyao decided that she might as well make good use of it.
"Xiao Shiyao, you..." Zhang Yue looked at Xiao Shiyao as if she was about to pounce on her and tear her apart.
"Zhang Yue, Wu Xinyu, what are you trying to do?" After class, Xu Haoyang, who ca to find Xiao Shiyao, walked to the classroom door and saw Zhang Yue with a fierce look in her eyes staring at Xiao Shiyao.
The way Zhang Yue appeared ready to attack Xiao Shiyao at any mont made Xu Haoyang’s heart skip a beat.
