Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 1287 - 1288: Maxing Out His Card (Part 3)

So she always believed that her father must have loved her mother very, very much; otherwise, how could he make the food that her mother loved so well?

This is also why she cannot accept her father’s remarriage.

She always thought that her father at least still misses her mother in his heart, but his illegitimate son is already nearly ten years old, which means he had someone else over ten years ago.

How could he love her mother for such a short time?

During those times he ignored her, how much of it was spent with her mother’s rival and his son?

Otherwise, why have their mother and son moved into their home, and why does he often go in and out with them?

Tears, one by one, dripped into the bowl. Xin Xiaoxiao sniffled, grabbed the noodles, and stuffed mouthful after mouthful into her mouth.

By filling her mouth to the brim, she blocked the unexpected surge of sadness.

Xin Hailong helped her tidy up the room simply.

He threw out the trash.

The whole room looked as if it had gained a lot of space.

After cleaning up, Xin Hailong came out of the bathroom after washing his hands, and as he walked, he said to Xin Xiaoxiao, "Move back in today."

Xin Xiaoxiao refused without a second thought, "No need, I don’t want to move back. I want to enjoy my carefree single life before marrying that bad luck, don’t disturb my life."

"Qingyang is actually quite nice..."

Xin Hailong again brought up Zhong Qingyang earnestly, Xin Xiaoxiao quickly interrupted, "Stop!"

She said, "We rarely see each other, our relationship isn’t good to begin with, don’t let Zhong Qingyang make our father-daughter relationship completely break apart."

Hearing this, Xin Hailong’s temper flared up, "Ungrateful brat."

Xin Xiaoxiao retorted, "You’re an old..."

Xin Hailong knew what she was about to say and quickly glared at her in warning, "Xin Xiaoxiao, shut your mouth!"

"Hmph." Xin Xiaoxiao gave Xin Hailong a disdainful look, then held up her bowl with both hands and gulped down the noodle soup until it was dry.

...

Perhaps it was a bowl of noodles that convinced her; Xin Xiaoxiao finally followed Xin Hailong to the hospital.

The ward was packed with people.

All were Zhong Qingyang’s relatives, aunts and great-aunts, as if having a family gathering.

"Xiaoxiao, this is your aunt."

As they entered, Zhong Qingyang’s mother pulled Xin Xiaoxiao over and introduced her to each one.

"Oh."

Xin Xiaoxiao responded apathetically, didn’t follow with a greeting.

It made her seem very arrogant.

But she didn’t care; she wished that the whole family would dislike her, so they would oppose her marriage to Zhong Qingyang.

After the introductions, Xin Xiaoxiao stood outside the crowd as Xin Hailong approached the hospital bed to greet Zhong Qingyang.

"Qingyang, you’ve been through a lot."

He had a grateful expression, thankful that he saved his daughter.

Seeing the grateful look in Xin’s father’s eyes, Zhong Qingyang felt that the serious injury he’d suffered was worth it. He smiled and shook his head, "It’s my duty."

Hypocrite!

Xin Xiaoxiao shot Zhong Qingyang a contemptuous look, really wanting to tear off his pretentious face.

He’s simply the white knight among men; shouldn’t these little tricks be the domain of women?

He wielded them as a man so effortlessly, it’s truly sickening.

Zhong Qingyang’s mother stood behind Xin Hailong and waited for him to finish his polite conversation with Zhong Qingyang. She then apologized to Xin Hailong apologetically, "In-law, Qingyang’s injury, the doctor said he’ll need at least ten days of hospitalization and can’t get out of bed, so the engagement..."
