Chapter 36: Sudden Change

  At night, Xiaocui returned home and felt something was off as soon as she entered the house. The atmosphere at home was very strange. Everyone seemed to have been waiting for her for a long time, including her parents, grandparents, and aunt. Both families were present, all waiting for her. Her parents' faces also looked unpleasant, as if she had done something terribly wrong. Xiaocui's heart skipped a beat, feeling extremely uneasy.

  "Sister, ask her yourself and see if what I said is true or false!" Wu Guo was so angry when he saw Xiaocui appear that he wanted to go over and slap her again. The slap at noon seemed too light, looking at her face now, nothing's wrong with it, but his own face was getting more and more swollen and painful.

  "Xiao Chan, tell me, what's going on? Are the injuries on your uncle's face really caused by you?" Normally, Wu Zhen wouldn't have believed Wu Guo, but his injuries were all too real, and he had a plausible explanation, as well as evidence to back it up. Wu Zhen couldn't help but feel suspicious.

  "What did you say, Little Brother-in-law?" Xiaochan looked at Wu Guodao, how could he still have the nerve to come home and tattle after what he had done?

  "Bastard, how dare you talk to me like that! You tell me, aren't you in cahoots with a thug and still letting him hit me!" Wu Guo pointed at his own face, which was so swollen he couldn't recognize himself.

  "I have no grudge against you, Uncle, why would I hit you?" Xiaocui said calmly.

  "You... do you want me to mention what you did again?!" Wu Guo was a bit tongue-tied, and then he spoke viciously. When he came to report the crime, he must have picked out the good things to say, and all the crimes were pushed onto Xiaochan's body, so from start to finish, he didn't mention that he hit Xiaochan. Or maybe he thought hitting Xiaochan was nothing, not worth mentioning.

  Grandfather and grandmother were standing on the side watching, no one wanted to come over to talk, just like they were watching someone else's excitement, as if Xiaocui was not their own granddaughter.

  Grandpa and grandma's indifference is not the first time Xiaocui has seen, so she doesn't have too much feeling about it. But what about her parents? Were they also fooled by others' few words? Would they rather believe Wu Guo than their own daughter? Without knowing the reason, they look at her with this attitude, Xiaocui really feels chilled to the bone.

  "Mom, what did your sister's husband say to you?" The little uncle didn't speak, and Xiaocui asked Wu Zhen again. She just thought that even if she had a younger brother now, she was still Wu Zhen's own daughter, so even if she wasn't loved, it wouldn't be possible for her to suffer unjustly, would it?

  Wu Zhen only then realized that the situation might not be as Wu Guo described, earlier when Wu Guo saw her he started wailing and began to recount Xiaochan's crimes, she was also shocked at the time. After all, the injuries on Wu Guo were real, he didn't need to lie and frame Xiaochan, but now that Xiaochan asked this question, Wu Zhen started to reflect.

  Just as Xiaochan said, why would she hit her own uncle? Moreover, Xiaochan is still in school this year, how could she have met Wu Guo? And what about her mother, how could she be with Wu Guo, and that child too. With a little thought, all of this becomes suspicious at once.

  "Sister, look at what you've raised, look at how she talks to her elders! She's done something wrong and still has the nerve to argue, are the scars on my face self-inflicted? Am I crazy?" Wu Guo yelled loudly.

  "I was studying well in school, my little uncle came in to find me and asked me to take care of the child for him. He hit me when I refused to help... Luckily, it was my classmate who saved me..." Xiaocui said calmly, revealing the truth.

  But in her mouth it was true, but whether it was true in other people's ears she didn't know.

  Grandfather and grandmother held their grandson in silence, whoever said what they just listened to. True or false was not important in their eyes. As long as it didn't involve their interests, no matter how much commotion there was, it was all nothing.

  But Wu's father remained silent, from start to finish he didn't say a single word of concern.

  The grandmother couldn't help but speak up for her son, pointing at Xiaocui and saying "Xiaocui, you have to be honest, if it was your person who hit your younger uncle, would you dare say it wasn't?"

  The grandmother never mentioned the fact that Xiaocui was beaten, but instead wanted Xiaocui to admit that the person who beat her was Wu Guo.

  "That little uncle hit my grandma, didn't he?" Xiaochan also asked back.

  "What's wrong, Xiaocui? Don't talk nonsense. You don't look like you've been beaten at all. On the contrary, your uncle is covered in injuries!" At this time, Grandma Wu was not going to admit it. Although she didn't mind Xiaocui being beaten, Wu Zhen did. If she minded, no one would help take care of the child.

  Xiao Chan knew it would be like this, the wound on her face was healed by Chu Li, and now there's no symptom at all. Her grandmother wouldn't help her, but what about her family? Is she fighting alone now?

  "Mom, Xiaocui was at school then, what did Wu Guo want from her?" After all, it came from his own belly, and Wu Zhen would not be as indifferent as Wu Dad.

  "I just wanted to go see her, it's been so long since we last met, who knew something like this would happen!" The old lady muttered to herself.

  "Are you taking the kids to school to see Xiaocui?" Wu Zhen continued.

  "......" Grandma was speechless, what could she say? This was too strange, wasn't it? "Aiyoh, Xiao Zhen, what do you mean? We went to see with good intentions, who knew she was so heartless and got Wu Guo beaten up. Now what are we going to do? Wu Guo is injured, how can I take care of the child by myself? No matter what, this is all Xiao Chan's fault, she has to be responsible!"

  Finally spoke out the ultimate purpose, grandma is really not easy.

  Anyway, Xiaochan has said what she should say. Now the situation is that everyone has their own reason, and there's no way to distinguish between right and wrong. As for the final result, Xiaochan can only follow her family's arrangement.

  Wu Zhen naturally didn't want Xiao Chan to take responsibility, Xiao Chan was beaten and nobody knew, but Wu Guo was indeed beaten, not giving an explanation wouldn't be convincing.

  Wu's father might have felt annoyed, and merely said "Xiao Cui, one person doing things..."

  His words had not finished yet, when he heard someone outside calling, "Old Wu, Old Wu, there is someone outside looking for Xiaocui, driving a luxurious car!"

  Wu's father immediately went out and, as expected, saw a luxury private car parked downstairs. What was important wasn't the car, but the person standing beside it - someone he had seen before at a banquet, the son of xx Chang Rongjinwei.

  Xiao Chan also walked out of the corridor and looked down, then saw Rong Ying waving at her with a particularly warm smile.

  "Is Xiaochan your classmate? Hurry up and let her come in and sit down, Xiaojuan hurry up and tidy up the house, quickly!" Wu's father instructed with extra excitement.

  Xiaochan has already run downstairs, how did Rongying suddenly enter the community?

  After seeing Xiaochan leave, Wu's father's eyes were smiling, looking at his mother-in-law and younger brother-in-law, coldly saying "You two going to find Xiaochan is for what reason you are clear in your hearts, don't make a scene and turn against each other, I believe our family's Xiaochan is innocent."

  Sudden change, all because of Rong Yu's arrival.
