Seventies Sweetheart: From Breakup to Billionaire-Chapter 300: It’s Not Your Turn Yet

But these words are only heard by ignorant little girls; when it comes to stepmother’s words, Zheng Miaoyue doesn’t believe a single punctuation mark!

"Xiangxiang, help me, I’m afraid my dad will be persuaded by her and force me to marry her nephew."

Lin Xiang thought for a moment, "Right now you have only one option, expose this matter. Whether you want to inform your mother and grandparents or let your paternal grandparents know, that’s up to you to decide."

"But for now, I can take you away from here."

Lin Xiang waved to Cheng Jinyun, who walked over with his long legs, "What do you need me to do?"

Lin Xiang gestured towards Mr. Zheng and his group, "Those people are no good. I’ll first take my friend away from Xiangshan, keep an eye on them for me, make sure none of the six follows us."

Cheng Jinyun nodded, "Okay. Stay safe."

Zheng Miaoyue is indeed familiar with Xiangshan, and led Lin Xiang through a few small paths and completely out of Xiangshan.

The crowd continued behind them, but there were no longer people coveting her. Zheng Miaoyue was exhausted, sitting on the ground, gasping for breath.

Lin Xiang sat beside her, holding Zheng Miaoyue’s hand to cheer her on, "Have you decided where you want to go? I’ll take the bus with you."

Zheng Miaoyue blurted out, "Let’s go to my grandparents’ house."

It’s not that I don’t trust my paternal grandparents.

Zheng Miaoyue believes that her grandparents’ love for her is genuine, but her father is also their son. If a conflict really arises, would her grandparents stand with her father or choose her?

She dared not take that gamble, nor did she want to trouble her grandparents.

Zheng Miaoyue’s grandfather was once the deputy head of the Yanqi District government, and her grandmother was also a leader in the district government. Now the couple resides in the district government staff compound.

Only the leaders and their families live there.

But for Lin Xiang, who has already visited the military district compound, entering the district government staff compound for the first time was not intimidating at all.

At her grandmother’s house.

After listening to Zheng Miaoyue’s tearful recount of her experience, her grandmother didn’t say a word; she just picked up the receiver and dialed a number.

"Come home, yes, right now."

Putting down the receiver, her grandmother said, "I’ve already called your mom over, Yueyue, don’t be afraid. We’re here to back you up, let’s see what tricks she can pull!"

With strong support, Zheng Miaoyue’s long-held tension finally snapped, and she cried loudly in her grandmother’s arms.

"What right does she have to interfere in my marriage, introducing me to such a person! Grandma, you wouldn’t know, at Xiangshan, he was trying to get handsy with me, and even though my dad saw, he didn’t stop it!"

"If I hadn’t seen Lin Xiang and found an excuse to talk to her and get escorted out, I don’t know what could have happened to me today."

Her grandmother knew exactly what kind of character her granddaughter had grown up with.

Zheng Miaoyue cried a few times as a child when she got scolded for poor grades, and besides occasionally shedding a few tears, this was the first time in many years she’d cried without caring about her image.

Her grandmother’s and grandfather’s hearts both ached.

Especially her grandfather, who took off his reading glasses and wiped his moist eyes with a handkerchief.

"If anyone dares to bully my sister, see if I won’t fight them!"

The room door was opened from the outside, and a fifteen-year-old boy holding a stick appeared, face full of anger, "Sis, who bullied you? Tell me, I’ll avenge you."

Her stepfather flicked his son’s forehead, "Stand aside. Your old man is still here; it’s not your turn to stick up for your sister!"

The young boy looked aggrieved, "Sis, look at Dad!"

"Pfft..." Zheng Miaoyue burst into laughter.

The sadness caused by family could indeed only be healed by other family members.

"Stepfather, don’t bully Xiao Chan, or he won’t help me in the future."

"He wouldn’t dare!"

"I wouldn’t!"

Her mother shoved the troublesome father and son aside, squatted beside Zheng Miaoyue, gently took her hand, and asked softly, "Yueyue, what happened? Tell Mom in detail."

Zheng Miaoyue recounted today’s experience to her mother once again.

The originally gentle woman suddenly stood up and kicked over the coffee table, scattering the cups on it, and startled Lin Xiang.

"I’m sorry, Xiangxiang, did I scare you?" Mrs. Zheng quickly handed her handkerchief to Lin Xiang, "Wipe your pants quickly, or they’ll get even wetter and you’ll catch a chill when the wind blows."

"...Okay."

Lin Xiang carefully took the handkerchief.

Mrs. Zheng’s change was indeed significant.

"I see Qi Kai is living more backwards the older he gets, not only letting that woman boss around the Qi Family but also daring to meddle in my daughter’s marriage? Yueyue, don’t be afraid, Mom will get justice for you now!"

"Mom!" Zheng Miaoyue said aggrievedly, "Ever since the last family dinner, when grandma said in front of their whole family that she intended to leave all the family assets to me, those two have caused me no end of trouble. They even came to my school last time to cause problems. If it weren’t for my roommate stopping them, I might have been bullied by them!"

Getting bullied was impossible, but selling the story of her misfortunes a bit suited her needs for her mom to stand up for her and seek justice.

"Yueyue, why didn’t you ever tell grandma about this?"

"Grandma, I just didn’t want you and grandpa to worry, so I didn’t say anything. But I didn’t expect that my patience would only make them go even further. Since she dared to target me, why should I protect her secrets!"

Mrs. Zheng couldn’t listen any longer and dragged her stepfather out the door.

Xiao Chan wanted to follow them out but was stopped by his grandmother.

"Leave the adults’ affairs to them, you’re just a kid, don’t get involved."

"But grandma, that person also has a daughter, and she’s around my age. If she makes her daughter do something, my parents also can’t hit a kid. In this case, I’m the only one who can stand up!"

The grandmother thought for a moment, found Xiao Chan’s words very reasonable, and let him follow.

Lin Xiang quietly raised her hand, "Um, they should still be at Xiangshan now."

Before she left, she told Cheng Jinyun not to let any of the six follow, but she didn’t specify how long to limit it!

Zheng Miaoyue patted her forehead, "Oh no, I forgot about that too! I better go tell my mom quickly."

Her grandmother patted Zheng Miaoyue’s hand, "Don’t worry, your mom knows what to do; she’ll definitely stop by your grandparents’ place first. It’ll take some time anyway, Xiangxiang, do you want grandma to make you some sweet rice wine with eggs to eat?"

Lin Xiang waved her hand to refuse, "It’s no trouble, grandma, I just ate in Xiangshan, and I’m not hungry now."

Moreover, she wasn’t in the mood to eat, and her grandmother wasn’t in the mood to cook either.

District government housing, Qi Family.

When seeing Mrs. Zheng bring her family over, the grandmother was momentarily stunned.
