Xue Yang sneered and lowered his voice: "It's not that simple.
There is a lot of secrets in it, but your parents don’t dare to tell you for fear of scaring you.
You and the third child still don’t know about this.”
"What?"
Cheng Huanchong and Xue Xin asked in unison.
Xue Yang coughed lightly and said sternly: "Back then, my grandpa often took you to participate in TV shows, but you were so childlike that you said whatever came to your mind and revealed information about our family.
Soon, you were targeted by a group of criminals."
Xue Xin: "..."!!! Cheng Huanran responded: "They specialize in kidnapping the children of wealthy families, high-level extortion, and even... they even used to fight against each other. They are all desperadoes, cruel and vicious.
Fortunately, someone reminded mom, and she quickly sent someone to protect you and our family."
"and after?"
Cheng Huanchong seemed to be remembering something and murmured: "We seemed to still live in the community back then.
I remember that one day after school suddenly there were a few bodyguards at home. My parents told me not to go out as much as possible, and I had to be escorted by bodyguards when I went to and from school."
Xue Yang patted his shoulder and nodded: "Yes, that's the time.
After my mother received the news, she quickly asked people to come to our home to protect us, but she never thought that she might be in danger, and she only felt Xiaoxin.
She, Aunt Xue Cong, and Uncle Xue Heng drove home quickly. Unexpectedly, their car was followed, and when they were in the parking lot... Uncle Xue Heng was knocked unconscious, and our mother and aunt were kidnapped by the robbers."
"Oh my God!"
Xue Xin turned pale with fright and covered her mouth.
Cheng Huanchong's face also turned pale, he stared at his second brother, and held his sister in his arms.
"Then - what - then?"
Cheng Huanran frowned and whispered: "They originally wanted to tie up Xiaoxin, but later they tied up Mom and Aunt Xue Cong.
The situation was very critical at that time, and the kidnappers demanded that millions of cash and dozens of gold bars be prepared within one day.
Fortunately, Aunt Xue Cong's husband had a strong background and immediately sent a team of special forces to rescue her, and she even personally led people to pick her up.
Our dad went with us... I heard that the scene was very cruel.
After my mother came back, she rested for several days before she finally recovered."
Xue Xin swallowed her saliva and was too frightened to speak.
Cheng Huanchong was a boy after all, so he had the courage to ask: "Is it cruel?
What means?"
Xue Yang gave him a funny look and said, "Is there any need to ask?
Those are all habitual criminals who should have been punished long ago. Even Aunt Xue Cong dared to arrest them - if they dared to attack Tai Sui, wouldn't they be looking for death?
!”
Cheng Huanran lowered his voice: "Mom refused to tell us. She only said that it was okay and asked us not to tell you two little ones.
Aunt Xue Cong's arm was injured, and Mom's foot sprained slightly, which was considered a minor injury.
However, the scene was too scary... I asked my dad and he said that he was also scared. It was much more intense than the gunfight movies on TV.
Our mother is definitely a well-informed woman and has always been very courageous. She had to wait for several days, so you can imagine how terrifying the scene was."
The four of them were silent.
After a while, Xue Xin started crying.
"I...why didn't you tell me?
For a long time, my third brother and I didn't like having bodyguards around us. We found them annoying and always despised them as unnecessary.
I even told my mother that it was a complete waste of manpower, material, money and resources...Who knew it was all my fault."
When her three brothers saw her crying, they had to gather around to comfort her.
"You were still young back then. If I told you, you might not understand, and it might even scare you."
"That's right! My eldest brother and I were so frightened at that time that we didn't dare to tell you two little ones."
"Uncle Heng was beaten unconscious and his waist was injured. He lay on the bed for a long time before he finally recovered.
Those kidnappers were very cruel. Something happened to my mother and her whereabouts were unknown. The family was already in chaos.
Everyone was so panicked that they couldn't care less about you two little ones, so they had no choice but to hide it."
"The reason back then was that you leaked our family's address and information. My parents were so frightened that they told us to keep a low profile and never expose our belongings, let alone claim that our family was rich."
"The kidnappers were targeting you from the beginning, so your parents regarded you as their key protection target for a long time.
Whenever you go out, someone must follow you. No matter how annoying or noisy you are, your parents will not compromise.
Later, because of the Qi family's incident, your parents were frightened by you again.
Mom said that the focus of protection is you, and she was absolutely right."
Xue Xin threw herself into her elder brother's arms, sobbing.
"I... I just scolded mom... I also scolded her for being partial..." Cheng Huanran laughed softly and teased: "Isn't it partial?
Parents favor you the most."
"Ha ha!"
Xue Yang teased her and said: "It must be partiality! Of the three boys in the family, you are the only girl. I will definitely love you the most and favor you the most."
It's better for you, catch the thief when the thief shouts! Next time I get angry with my mother, I will definitely scold her for favoring you the most! At least what I said is the truth, and you are blind."
Xue Xin was amused, but still burst into tears.
"I didn't know there was such a thing...I put my mother in danger, but she only looked after me.
She didn't want me to buy a car because she didn't want me to have too much freedom to go in and out alone. She was afraid that I would be in danger and that something would happen to me again.
But I blame her for giving an exception to the third brother, blame her for favoring boys over girls, blame her for not loving me."
"Do you realize your mistake?"
Cheng Huanran stroked her long hair and said warmly: "If you know you were wrong, apologize to mom properly.
We are all parents' pet peeves, how could it not hurt?
You are the little princess of our family, the daughter that dad loves the most.
We never dare to complain that our parents favor girls over boys.
It would be better for you to just go to your parents and say something sarcastic."
"Pfft!"
Xue Xin laughed out loud, wiped away her tears, and murmured: "I...I'll apologize to mom soon."
Xue Yang raised his chin slightly and raised his eyebrows.
"That's more like it! You little heartless one! Mom didn't slap you twice earlier, it already hurts you enough.
Don’t you think about it, is our family short of money to buy a car?
We have several cars at home, are we short of one?
You want to buy a car, and you have to drive it in and out by yourself - unless you can defeat several bodyguards in a winner's circle, your parents may agree?
Dasha girl!"
"She's either stupid or crazy."
Cheng Huanchong snorted softly on the tip of his nose: "You are so brave to dare to quarrel with mom and make such a big fuss! Sure enough, the old saying is true. Jealousy can really make people crazy."
"I...how am I jealous!"
Xue Xin muttered dissatisfied: "I don't have any!"
Cheng Huanchong rolled his eyes and said quietly: "I don't know any 'people', and I don't know if they are jealous of me.
But when you see me buying a car, you should follow suit.
Isn’t this envy, jealousy, and hatred?
Purely following the trend?
hehe!"
"You -" Xue Xin blushed and hesitated: "No! I - I just want to know that you can buy a car before you graduate, so can I buy it too.
