From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables

Chapter 295: 136 Reclaim (Second Update)

Zhao Xiaohui put a big shrimp into Zhu Xiangxiang’s bowl and said with concern.

Zhu Xiangxiang instinctively frowned, looking at Zhao Xiaohui’s chopsticks.

In the Zhus, they always used serving chopsticks to share dishes, not their own, which was unhygienic.

Zhu Xiangxiang put down her chopsticks, her eyebrows tightly knitted.

The man sitting opposite her rolled his eyes and said to Zhao Xiaohui, “The child will pick it up if she likes it, don’t make things worse.”

Then he turned to Zhu Xiangxiang and said, “Xiangxiang, your mother really loves you so much and doesn’t know what to do for you. Don’t be mad at her; let’s just live a good life together as a family from now on. I promise I won’t let you be wronged.”

Zhu Xiangxiang looked up, and the man had a pointed face with sunken cheeks. It was really unappetizing when he talked and his eyes rolled constantly.

“You’re not my dad.” Zhu Xiangxiang said coldly.

How could her biological father be an unattractive construction worker?

Deng Kun’s face stiffened, a flash of malice quickly crossed his eyes, and then he put on a smile again, “Yes, yes, I’m not your biological father. If you don’t want to call me that, just call me uncle. I’ve always dreamed of having a daughter, and now my wish has finally come true.”

As Deng Kun spoke, he touched his reddened eyes, looking quite moving.

However, Zhu Xiangxiang felt nothing but disgust deep inside.

She felt disgusted with everything about the Dengs.

The 70-square-meter two-bedroom apartment had the couple living in one room and Deng Yang, Zhao Xiaohui’s son, living in the other. Zhao Xiaohui said that Deng Yang had gone to his grandma’s house in the countryside for summer vacation, so she was temporarily sleeping in his room. However, the room was less than ten square meters, which was smaller than the bathroom at the Zhus. Since she came to the Dengs, she hadn’t had a good night’s sleep.

But Zhu Xiangxiang had no choice but to accept her reality, as she couldn’t go back to the Zhus.

“Where will I live when Deng Yang comes back?”

Zhao Xiaohui hesitated before saying, “I’ll ask your uncle to clean up the balcony, and let Yangyang stay there – he’s a boy, he can make do with anything. Xiangxiang, our living conditions can’t compare to the Zhus, of course, but I will do my best to give you the best.”

Zhu Xiangxiang pursed her lips, “I understand.”

She lowered her head and picked up her chopsticks to eat.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door from outside, “Auntie Xiaohui, my mom cooked some fish, and I’m sending some over.”

“It’s Wanwan.” Zhao Xiaohui stood up and went to open the door.

Tang Wan handed a bowl of fried fish to Zhao Xiaohui, “Auntie Xiaohui, I heard that you found your daughter, and I haven’t congratulated you yet.”

Zhao Xiaohui took the fried fish, her smile widening, ‘Wanwan, come in and let me introduce Xiangxiang to you.”

“Xiangxiang, this is our upstairs neighbor’s daughter, Tang Wan. She’s your age and studies at Yi High School.”

Tang Wan saw a girl in a white dress with long hair draped over her shoulders. She had a delicate face and elegant temperament. Her clothes and accessories were quite exquisite, making her look out of place in this cramped and narrow room.

The girl’s eyebrows were shrouded in shadows, making her seem somewhat difficult to get along with.

Tang Wan curled her lip, “Ms. Zhu, it’s you.”

Zhu Xiangxiang frowned, “Do you know me?” She felt even more upset. From a wealthy young lady to an ordinary person, the gap was too great, and she felt the other person’s gaze was full of mockery.

“Ms. Zhu was the ‘school beauty’ of Shengde High School, with a widespread reputation – everyone knows you!”

Zhao Xiaohui was surprised, “Shengde High School? Isn’t the tuition for that school very expensive?”

“Shengde High School is the only private high school in Jiangzhou, attended by the rich and powerful. Ms. Zhu used to be the young lady of the Zhus, so of course she had to study at Shengde High School.” Tang Wan explained.

Zhao Xiaohui frowned.

“That was before, not now.” Zhu Xiangxiang said sarcastically. At this point, pretentiousness would only make others laugh.

“Do you really not remember me?” Tang Wan asked.

Zhu Xiangxiang glanced at her, feeling somewhat familiar, but couldn’t remember who she was.

Tang Wan shook her head with a smile, “It seems that you have truly become forgetful. Olympiad Class – we were classmates, but you never came to class after the first one.”

Reminded by Tang Wan, Zhu Xiangxiang finally remembered. However, this memory wasn’t particularly pleasant. The scenes of her being criticized by Ren Chuan were still vivid in her mind. Tang Wan must have seen it all, too..
