“Don’t underestimate yourself. You told me before that there will be reporters following you to the winter vacation training camp after the new year. I heard that there are television stations that want to turn the special training into a variety show. After all, it’s a gathering of geniuses from all over the country.
There’s still a lot to watch.”
Yuan Xiao had seen such programs on television that allowed some smart students to gather and compete. However, she was not interested in these things. She could not earn points, and it was not challenging.
“I don’t like appearing in front of the camera. You should give up the opportunity to groom me.”
Li Chang smiled regretfully. She still felt that Yuan Xiao had the ability to show herself in front of the public. “Then find time to come to my house to play. My parents have been nagging to thank you.”
“What’s there to thank me for? Help me tell Uncle and Auntie that I’ll visit them during the new year.”
“Of course I have to thank you. You helped me improve my results so much and saved them a lot of tuition fees.
Yuan Xiao and Li Chang chatted until it was dark. It was not until Sun Li came in to deliver milk to Yuan Xiao that she hung up.
“Xiao Xiao, are you chatting with your friends?”
“Yes, with Li Chang, my deskmate.” Yuan Xiao sat up from the bed and took the milk from Sun Li. “Mom, don’t do these things. Rest well and take care of your body.”
“I can’t do anything all day. I’m really happy that you’re back.” Sun Li sat by Yuan Xiao’s bed, her eyes filled with love and concern.
“Is the Shen couple treating you well?” Sun Li probed. Ever since she separated from Yuan Xiao, this was what she was most concerned about.
Yuan Xiao nodded. “Very well. Don’t worry, they treat me very well.”
Sun Li looked at her sensible daughter and could not help but regret it sometimes. If Yuan Ming had not investigated Yuan Xiao and Yuan Wei, perhaps they would still be living a happy life like before. What was so important about being truly related by blood?
“Mom, I feel especially happy now that I have two fathers and two mothers.” Yuan Xiao saw Sun Li’s worry and comforted her. “All of you are very important people to me. Mom, don’t worry. I won’t forget your kindness for raising me just because I don’t live with you.”
“Silly child, why would Mom think that way?” Sun Li’s eyes were red as she gently hugged Yuan Xiao. “I just hope that you can continue living a carefree life. If you have time, come home more often and don’t cut ties with family.”
Yuan Xiao could feel Sun Li’s concern for her. In her previous life, if she had not followed the plot of the original book and done too many things that made Sun Li sad, Sun Li would not have been completely disappointed in her.
Yuan Wei, who was in the next room, heard Sun Li walking into Yuan Xiao’s room. From time to time, the laughter and conversation of the mother and daughter pierced Yuan Wei’s heart.
“Yuan Xiao… Why did you snatch everything from me?!” Yuan Wei lay on the bed and gripped the corner of the blanket tightly. Tears could not help but fall from the corners of her eyes.
At the dining table, Yuan Ming and Sun Li were busy picking up food for Yuan Xiao. Even the food on the table was prepared according to Yuan Xiao’s preferences.
Yuan Wei was angry in her heart, but she did not dare to show it. Even Jiang Yan’s mother had always been very enthusiastic about Yuan Xiao.
Yuan Wei did not understand what she had done wrong. Why did everyone like Yuan Xiao? In school, Yuan Xiao was the pride of every teacher. In the eyes of her parents, Yuan Xiao was better than her in every aspect.
No one cared about her feelings at all. Yuan Wei was indignant, and her hatred for Yuan Xiao deepened. In the future, if the child in Sun Li’s stomach was born, even her only advantage as their biological daughter would be gone.
Yuan Wei was very afraid and filled with hatred for Yuan Xiao.
“I definitely can’t sit still and wait for death…” Although Yuan Wei’s personality was weak, she was meticulous. She would not allow an uncontrollable situation to happen. A good plan to take revenge on Yuan Xiao appeared in her heart.
The next morning, Yuan Wei knocked on Yuan Xiao’s door before everyone woke up.
Ever since Yuan Xiao was bound to the Academic Genius System, she was used to waking up early. She opened the door curiously, wanting to know what Yuan Wei was thinking.
“Xiao Xiao, I knew you were up.” Yuan Wei had a smile on her face and was very enthusiastic about Yuan Xiao.
“What’s the matter?” Yuan Xiao stood at the door and had no intention of letting Yuan Wei in..
