The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 935 - 452

Wu Xinyu’s days at the Wu Family were not as good as she usually showed.

Her father believed strongly in gender preference; her mother had damaged her health giving birth to her and couldn’t conceive again. Her father had always wanted a son. Thus, he found a mistress.

This mistress was formidable, and her ability to bear children was commendable. She knew Wu Xinyu’s father had always wanted a son and knew that giving birth to a son was her chance to marry into the Wu Family.

Indeed, after she got pregnant, she actually gave birth to a son, which overjoyed Wu Xinyu’s father.

To legitimize his son and not have him as an illegitimate child, Wu Xinyu’s father, disregarding her mother’s crying and pleading, divorced her mother. When her parents divorced, they had asked her with whom she wanted to live.

Wu Xinyu didn’t think twice before answering that she wanted to stay with the Wu Family.

Wu Xinyu was exceptionally pragmatic. Her mother received a settlement from the divorce, but that money was nothing compared to the Wu Family’s wealth. Moreover, staying with her mother meant leaving the Wu Family, which would strip her of the title of Miss Wu of the Wu Family.

It would also mean leaving the upper-class circles of Capital City.

She couldn’t stand to see that happen.

Therefore, even though she knew her father did not appreciate her, and staying meant living at the mercy of others, she steadfastly chose to stay with the Wu Family.

Also, Wu Xinyu was formidable herself, adept at pretending and acting. In her subsequent conflicts with her stepmother, she managed not to be at a disadvantage; rather, she even caused her stepmother some covert troubles.

This infuriated her stepmother.

This time, Wu Xinyu offended both the Xiao Family and the Situ Family, delighting her stepmother who couldn’t help but inwardly rejoice.

"Wu Xinyu, do you realize what offending the Xiao Family and the Situ Family means? Do you know that this morning, every company that had business dealings with our Wu’s started looking for reasons to terminate their contracts with us?" Wu Xinyu’s father was beyond angry. He never expected that his ’well-behaved’ daughter, who he thought could bring benefits to Wu’s, would instead bring disaster. "Eldest Miss Xiao, are you even someone you can afford to offend? You dared to scheme against her?"

Wu Xinyu’s father was filled with regret. If he had known, he would have been more resolute back then and made his daughter leave with her mother. "Our Wu Family can no longer accommodate you, this burden. I’m going to contact your mother shortly; pack your things and go to her."

Wu Xinyu, who had been keeping her head down and shedding tears continuously, suddenly raised her head in disbelief upon hearing her father’s words. "Dad, you don’t want me anymore?"

Wu Xinyu was deft at acting—tears would come as she commanded. If it were any other time, her father would have already comforted her in distress. But thinking of whom his daughter had offended, he couldn’t feel any sympathy.

Thinking about the mess in the company, he burned with even more fury.

"Crying, always crying. Can tears solve the problem? Can tears help Wu’s get through this crisis?"

Wu Xinyu, scolded by her father, dared not shed any more tears.

Wu Xinyu’s stepmother, seeing Wu Xinyu finally hitting a wall and ending up like this, felt exceptionally pleased. She did not intervene, simply observing Wu Xinyu’s downfall.

Mother Xu learned from her son that Xiao Shiyao was angry with her son because of the incident involving Wu Xinyu and Zhang Yue.

Mother Xu thought about it, then used her own phone to dial Xiao Shiyao’s number.

When Mother Xu called Xiao Shiyao, Xu Haoyang was sitting close beside her, and no matter how much Mother Xu tried, she couldn’t shoo him away.

The number was dialed, and soon the call connected.

"Hello, Auntie." Since the number was saved, Xiao Shiyao knew it was Mother Xu calling.

"Hey, Yaoyao darling, have you gone to bed yet? Did Auntie disturb you?" With this term of endearment, it was clear how much Mother Xu liked Xiao Shiyao, her future daughter-in-law.

Xu Haoyang felt a pang of jealousy; in his mum’s eyes, it seemed having a daughter-in-law meant forgetting about her son.

"I haven’t slept yet. But Auntie, why haven’t you gone to sleep at this hour?" Xiao Shiyao asked with concern.

"It’s all because of this rascal, Xu Haoyang." Although Mother Xu’s heart leaned towards her future daughter-in-law, Xiao Shiyao, Xu Haoyang was still her son. "Tonight, I already lectured Haoyang. Yaoyao, can we give him a chance to reform? Of course, if he needs to be disciplined, just discipline him."

Xiao Shiyao couldn’t hide her amusement listening to Mother Xu’s words over the phone. She really enjoyed her relationship with Mother Xu, even her own mother said that having Mother Xu as a mother-in-law was a blessing she’d earned over several lifetimes.

"Auntie, don’t worry, I’m not mad at Haoyang. It really wasn’t Haoyang’s fault. I know Haoyang well, and he hasn’t really been in contact with Wu Xinyu." Xiao Shiyao had initially been upset when she heard Zhang Yue’s words, which also made her angry at Xu Haoyang. But after calming down, she understood what really happened.

"That’s good you’re not mad at Haoyang. But still, you shouldn’t just easily show him a happy face. You have to make him learn that in the future whenever he meets other girls, he should keep a stern face." ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Xu Haoyang, who had breathed a sigh of relief hearing Xiao Shiyao wasn’t mad at him, almost choked on his breath upon hearing his mother’s next words.

Seriously, his mum?

Xu Haoyang looked sorrowfully at his mother. But she chose to ignore him.

He turned to Father Xu, seeking his help to speak about his mum, who was tearing down her own son like this.

But just like Mother Xu, Father Xu completely ignored Xu Haoyang.

"Yeah, Auntie, don’t worry, I won’t talk to him for the next few days. After school, I’ll come to see you," Xiao Shiyao said, laughing.

"Great, then we’ll go shopping together, just you and me, drink some coffee, eat some snacks. Let Haoyang worry about himself," Mother Xu also said, laughing.

She had always wanted a sweet, caring girl to go shopping with, share meals, and have afternoon tea. After giving birth to Xu Haoyang and experiencing health issues, she thought she’d never have that blessing.

But unexpectedly, the daughter-in-law her son brought home gave her such a blessing.

"Okay."

"So Yaoyao, you rest early, and tomorrow Auntie will pick you up from school," Now Mother Xu was entirely occupied with the thought of going out with Xiao Shiyao tomorrow. As for her son, she had already pushed him to the side.
