Zhou Tian sighed. However, he could not be too direct in front of Li Yan and
Luo Xin. If the two were alerted, he might not be able to send them to prison.
With that in mind, Zhou Tian had no choice but to find an excuse and said, “You’ve only watched over my shop, but if you work at Mr. w.a.n.g’s company, your new colleagues will be different from the customers you meet. If you’re not careful, those colleagues will set you up.
Zhou Tian then looked at Li Yan and asked casually, “Li Yan, you know your own company very well. Have you ever been treated unfairly?”
Hearing Zhou Tian’s words, Zhou Xiaorou immediately looked at Li Yan worriedly and asked, “Hubby, did you encounter anything else in the office?”
Li Yan was slightly fl.u.s.tered and quickly said, “No, nothing. Dad just made the company’s situation sound too serious. Rou, don’t take it to heart. Dad has a point. Luo Xin, you can eat in the kitchen from now on.
Luo Xin’s expression was twisted initially, but her pupils dilated after hearing Li Yan’s words. Other than feeling embarra.s.sed, she also felt hatred for him.
She had clearly suffered, but instead of speaking up for her, he even seemed to agree with Zhou Tian. Luo Xin felt very aggrieved, so she turned around and left without a word.
Zhou Xiaorou looked at Zhou Tian and Li Yan helplessly and said, “Dad, hubby, you’re hurting Luo Xin’s pride. Let me talk to her.”
As she said that, Zhou Xiaorou got up and went to the kitchen to find Luo Xin. At this time, Luo Xin was sitting on a chair, her eyes red, and she was crying.
When Zhou Xiaorou saw this scene, she felt her heart ache for her. She sat beside Luo Xin and comforted her, “Luo Xin, don’t worry. This is only temporary. In my heart, you are a part of our family. I have always treated you as a younger sister. Perhaps Father was a little harsh this time, so I apologize to you on his behalf. Please don’t take it to heart.”
In the face of Zhou Xiaorou’s gentle coaxing, Luo Xin only felt disgust and hatred. This woman had always been like this. She had been so well protected, never to experience the dark side. She had never been treated unfairly, so of course, she could say such words with a seemingly kind expression.
That was because she was the one who had been hurt. The one whose self-esteem had been hurt was her, not Zhou Xiaorou.
If they really treated her as a part of the family, then why wasn’t Zhou Xiaorou the one doing the housework? Why was she the one doing all the hard work?
In her bones, Zhou Xiaorou still treated her as a servant, but this woman was simply hypocritical. She clearly treated her as a servant, but she had to say things like treating her as a sister. Disgusting!
Luo Xin grumbled madly in her heart. She wished she could become Zhou Xiaorou and exchange ident.i.ties with her to experience her feelings. This was not a problem that could be solved with words of comfort.
Nonetheless, Luo Xin pretended to be comforted by Zhou Xiaorou’s words. She said gently, “Thank you, sis Xiaorou. I understand. I just feel a little aggrieved.”
Seeing that Luo Xin did not say anything more, Zhou Xiaorou left.
Since Zhou Tian had been with them the whole time, they did not have the chance to make a move.
Xia Wan and Xia Chen arrived at their hometown. Li Jin saw they had returned and subconsciously wanted to close the door, but Xia Wan stopped her.
Li Jin glared at her. “We’ve split up. Why are you still here? I’m telling you, I don’t have any money. If you’re short, go and borrow from someone else!”
Song Yan and Chen Lian also rushed over, afraid that Xia Wan and the others would take something away from the house.
Looking at the three of them, who were so alert, Xia Wan felt ridiculous. These people really thought that highly of themselves.
She coldly curled her lips and said to them, “I came back this time because we want to take away our things. Even if we’re going to move out, we should at least take away our clothes. Why? do you want to take away our clothes?”
Hearing Xia Wan’s words, Li Jin asked with some uncertainty, “You’re really here to get your clothes?”
Xia Wan nodded and asked, “What else do you think I want?”
At this time, Xia Ye also walked out of the house. She took the initiative and said, “Grandma, I’ll keep an eye on them in case they take too many things..”
