Chapter 406 406. The stepmother is poisonous and drives her stepdaughter away
Seeing Li Zeen and the others, the laughter in the living room stopped abruptly.
The wives’ eyes lingered on Zain and Qiao An. Then, Zain’s stepmother suddenly said sarcastically: “Hey, I was wondering where Zain went early in the morning. It turned out that he was looking for Qiao An? Zain
These things in your hand must have been bought by Qiao An for you, right?"
She glanced at the brand of Zain's shopping bag and said sourly: "It's no wonder you don't have a good attitude toward me, your stepmother. It turns out that you don't like the things I bought for you. You can't put them on the countertop. Alas, but you can't blame me for this.
, it’s not even your dad, he makes less money.”
Huo Xiaoran, who followed after locking the car, looked disgusted when he heard the words of the woman who forced the palace to take the position: "Okay, if you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."
Then he warned her sternly: "If you dare to talk to my wife in a weird way again and make her unhappy, I promise to let you come in vertically and get out of this door horizontally."
The woman took advantage of Li Tingfeng's high spirits during this period, and she had been showing off her power in the Li family for a while, and her temper was very good. She stood up quickly, walked up to Huo Xiaoran, and said: "Xiaoran, I know you are powerful, but in the Li family,
You, an adopted son, shouldn't interfere too much, right?"
Huo Xiaoran scolded in a low voice: "Go away. Don't show off your tea talk in front of me."
The woman's face couldn't help but turn black and white.
Huo Xiaoran said to Qiao An again: "I'm going to see the old man. Just wait for me for a moment."
Qiao An nodded.
Li Zeen and Qiao An walked to the coffee table and found an empty seat to sit down.
The wife’s eyes fell on Zain’s face, seemingly with a hint of condemnation. She probably felt that she was too poor and had no ambition, so she took the initiative to ask Qiao An to give her alms.
Zayn’s face looks ugly.
Qiao An took the initiative to help her out: "Madam, Xiaoran asked me to buy these things for Zaien."
After hearing this, the wife looked slightly relieved.
But she asked curiously: "Zaen, why are you looking for your brother-in-law?"
Zayn raised his mouth, not knowing how to respond.
It was Qiao An who explained: "She asked Xiaoran to find her a job, saying that she could do it no matter how hard or tiring it was. As long as she had a bite to eat."
Qiao An deliberately made Zain very miserable, and his wife felt pity for Zain. Instead of blaming Zain, she felt sorry for Zain.
"Oh, Qiao An, this child Zain has grown up and become sensible. If you can help her, please help her. I thank you on behalf of her parents." The wife said.
Zayn looked at Qiao An in surprise. Qiao An's few words changed his wife's attitude. Is she able to read minds?
Qiao An glanced at Zai En and said: "Madam, you also know that I have always been at odds with Zai En. If she hadn't taken the initiative to beg my Xiaoran in a humble manner, and my Xiaoran entrusted me to take good care of Zai En,
I'm too lazy to take care of her."
The wife was convinced that the relationship between Zain and Qiao An was not as beautiful as they saw. Zaen was so unloved, which made the wife feel even more distressed.
The wife took the initiative to plead for Zain: "Qiao An, Zain was not sensible when she was a child, which offended you. But now, you see that she is quite sensible, so you can help if you can."
Qiao An said: "Since my wife has spoken, how can I not give my wife face?"
The corners of Zaien's lips raised slightly. She was sincerely convinced by Qiao An. From now on, Qiao An helped her secretly, and from now on, he can help her openly. And the wife has to be grateful to Qiao An for selling her thin noodles.
The woman from outside the house might be afraid that Zain would gain power and deliberately sow discord between Zain and Qiao An, saying: "Hey, Qiao An, you are so generous. I heard that Zain never had a good attitude towards your sister-in-law before, but now you
But you helped her with everything you had, Qiao An, you really have a heart like a Bodhisattva."
Overtly, he was praising Joan as the Virgin Mary, but secretly, he was reminding Joan that Zayn was not worthy of her help.
Qiao An said: "Yes, I used to be her sister-in-law, and she treated me as a peer, and she did not respect me a little bit. But now that I am her aunt, she treats me as an elder, so she naturally respects me a lot. I am not very respectful.
Hold a grudge."
The woman from outside the house failed to provoke, and said sourly: "Zain, since you have found a job now, can you move out of the Li family? After all, you are not too young now, you should learn to be on your own?"
She blatantly drove Zain away, shocking the entire room.
The wife immediately turned black: "What do you mean? You don't want to see Zaen? Are you? Zaen doesn't have a boyfriend, and the Li family is her home. Where else can she go?"
The woman quickly smoothed things over: "Oh, Mom, you misunderstood my good intentions. Since I am her stepmother, I must take the responsibility of educating her, right? This child is already in her twenties, and many girls have become mothers at this age.
But Zayn stays at home like a little girl. This is not a long-term solution."
"When the time comes, when Zaien is gone, you will only blame me, the stepmother, for not teaching her well." The woman said and twitched in grievance.
The wife said: "Don't think that I don't know your thoughts. You wish you could drive Zain and his family out of the Li family. Only your family will be left in the Li family. You will feel comfortable."
Zaien lowered his head, looking pitiful and helpless.
"Since my stepmother can't tolerate me, I will move out today."
The wife said: "Then where do you live?"
Zayn didn't speak. Apparently he didn't think about where he was going at all.
The wife said: "You are not allowed to go anywhere."
The stepmother said: "Mom, your grandson will be back soon in the next two days, and the house is getting more and more crowded."
When it came to the grandson she had never met, the wife hesitated for a moment because she had long heard from Li Tingfeng that his illegitimate son was not only handsome, but also had good character, good academic performance, and was humble and polite.
In addition, this outsider woman has been subconsciously praising her son in front of her wife every day, which makes some patriarchal wives inexplicably like this grandson.
If she were asked to choose between her grandson and Zayn, the wife would definitely be in a dilemma.
Zain also saw the clues and knew that the old lady loved her grandson, which made Zain feel inexplicably painful.
She originally wanted to leave, but when she thought about the purpose of returning to Li's house, she was a drunkard who didn't care about drinking, so she could only stay here for free.
At this time, Qiao An said something fair: "Your son is not young anymore. He is a boy and it is safe to live outside. Zain is a weak girl and it is not safe to live outside. What do you think? Third sister-in-law?"
