BXBX NOVEL Chapter 25
The more people who looked at her, the happier she became.
However, her happiness made Jiang Rui\'an\'s face darken.
"Rui\'an, who is that little girl? Why is she calling you mom? And saying you abandoned her and her father?"
The man next to Jiang Rui\'an raised an eyebrow slightly, his tone displeased.
When Jiang Rui\'an had first gotten together with him, she had said that although she had been married before, she was already divorced and had no children.
"Brother Dong, don\'t listen to her nonsense. I don\'t know her, and I have no idea why she\'s calling me mom. Perhaps she\'s mistaken me for someone else."
Jiang Rui\'an forced a smile, trying to appear calm.
As she said this, Yun Xiaoxiao had just run up and overheard.
She laughed coldly in her heart.
This was truly her \'good mother\', as heartless and cold-blooded as ever.
She stood about a meter away from the two, timidly looking up at Jiang Rui\'an with a hurt expression on her face.
"Mom, how can you say you don\'t know Xiaoxiao? You are my mother, Jiang Rui\'an. Even though Dad said you divorced him and abandoned me to marry into a rich family, I don\'t believe it.
It must be that Xiaoxiao did something wrong to make you unhappy, and that\'s why you don\'t recognize me, right? Tell me, and I\'ll definitely improve, okay?"
Yun Xiaoxiao spoke cautiously, her face full of eagerness to please.
Her eyes were red, brimming with tears, looking like she was about to cry – a pitiful abandoned child that would make anyone\'s heart ache to see.
Jiang Rui\'an\'s face gradually darkened as she stared intently at Yun Xiaoxiao.
This dead girl, when did she become so glib!
Wasn\'t she always too timid to even squeak before?
Now she\'s suddenly so eloquent!
She wanted to explain to the man beside her, but he had already let go of her.
"She even called out your name. What else do you have to say?"
His tone made it clear that he had seen through her earlier lie.
"Brother Dong, I truly love you. It\'s not about marrying into a rich family. She\'s just a child, what does she know!
I didn\'t lie when I said I was single. Yun Shaokai and I had no feelings left long ago and were already in the process of divorcing. We just hadn\'t completed the paperwork when the apocalypse came. That\'s not my fault.
Besides, this dead girl isn\'t even my biological child. So when I said I had no children, I wasn\'t lying."
Jiang Rui\'an hurriedly explained.
But her last sentence made Yun Xiaoxiao\'s expression freeze.
"You\'re saying I\'m not your biological child?" Her voice cooled a few degrees.
Jiang Rui\'an, still angry, didn\'t notice the change in tone. She pointed at Yun Xiaoxiao furiously, "Of course you\'re not my biological child. Do you look anything like me at all?"
She didn\'t know how the hospital had messed up back then, actually switching babies!
If it weren\'t for that time Yun Xiaoxiao got sick and she noticed the blood type discrepancy, prompting her to secretly do a DNA test, she might still be in the dark!
Of course, she hadn\'t told Yun Shaokai about this.
Otherwise, during the divorce, what if Yun Shaokai deliberately pushed the troublesome Yun Xiaoxiao onto her?
Hearing Jiang Rui\'an\'s words, Yun Xiaoxiao finally took a careful look at her.
Although Jiang Rui\'an was attractive, she indeed didn\'t resemble Yun Xiaoxiao.
To be precise, Yun Xiaoxiao\'s features didn\'t look even slightly like Jiang Rui\'an\'s or Yun Shaokai\'s.
No wonder the two had never been affectionate towards her.
But if she wasn\'t their biological child, it all made sense.
It was laughable, really. She used to think it was because she wasn\'t pretty enough, or her personality wasn\'t likable.
Now, the truth was revealed.
She couldn\'t say if she felt happy or sad; she just felt relieved.
It wasn\'t her fault after all, so why should she torment herself and make herself unhappy?
If anyone should be unhappy, it should be others!
"Heh, what kind of freaks are in this base? It\'s fucking boring!"
Just then, the irritated male voice from earlier rang out again.
This time, it was even clearer.
Yun Xiaoxiao turned to look and saw a young man with a neat crew cut, but with bright red hair, walking out of a room.
He looked to be about twenty-one or twenty-two years old.
His eyes were very bright, and his build was tall and sturdy. He looked masculine and handsome, standing out from the crowd as soon as he appeared, making people want to take a second look.
He glanced at Jiang Rui\'an, making it clear who he meant by \'freaks\'.
He then cast an inconspicuous look at Yun Xiaoxiao before walking to a mountain bike and opening the door.
Fat Brother hurriedly approached him.
"Brother Xiao Feng, where are you going?"
"Where I go is none of your fucking business. This shithole of a place, I can\'t stand it anymore. I\'ll go wherever I want, and you can\'t do anything about it. Get out of my way, a good dog doesn\'t block the road!"
The man slammed the door shut with an irritated expression, stepped on the gas, and sped out the gate in a flash.
"Fat Brother, are we really letting him leave?" a subordinate quickly asked.
Fat Brother looked annoyed, "If you\'ve got the guts, go stop him yourself!"
The man rubbed his nose, not daring to stop Xiao Feng. He didn\'t have a death wish.
Yun Xiaoxiao looked in the direction the car had left, her brow furrowing slightly.
Xiao Feng?
That name sounded familiar.
In her previous life, the sixth-ranked person on the Top Ten Werewolf List was named Xiao Feng!
Rumor had it that this person had an explosive temper and was a madman who would argue with anyone and anything. He would even pick fights with dogs on the street if he didn\'t like the look of them.
He possessed a fire-based supernatural ability and would fight at the drop of a hat, a true violent thug.
In her previous life, Yun Xiaoxiao had never met him.
But from that brief interaction just now, this person was very likely the Xiao Feng from the Werewolf List.
It seems that in her previous life, he must have left this base early as well.
Otherwise, he would have definitely clashed with Big Brother.
"Brother Dong, where are you going? Brother Dong?"
Jiang Rui\'an anxiously grabbed the hand of the man who was about to leave.
Zhao Rongyan shook her off and walked up to Fat Brother.
"You said you would take me to Rongsheng Base. When are we leaving?"
"Are you really the son of the base leader?"
"Why would I lie to you? You\'ll find out when we get there."
"And the supplies you promised us..."
"As soon as I reach the base, I\'ll give you everything, not a bit less."
"Alright then. Let us prepare for a couple of days, and then we\'ll set out with you."
After they finished talking, Zhao Rongyan walked into a room with a gloomy face.
Jiang Rui\'an shot Yun Xiaoxiao a vicious glare before hurriedly following him, slamming the door behind her.
Soon, the sound of passionate moaning could be heard from inside.
The men around all knew what was happening inside, each wearing a lecherous grin.
"Why are you still standing here? Hurry up and move! If you delay my meal any longer, I\'ll give you a beating!"
The skinny man impatiently urged Yun Xiaoxiao.
