At this moment, Xiao Lingbo's expression was no longer cold, but dark.
He had not expected Xiao Ying to have such guts.
He remembered that he had agreed just now.
Xiao Lingbo became even more embarrassed.
"Xiao Ying, why are you getting more and more insensible as you grow older? Look at your younger sister. She's already much more sensible than you. Yet, you still dare to deceive your father."
Xiao Ruoxuan looked to Xiao Ying mockingly.
It was ironic that she was imagining things.
After appreciating their change in attitude,
Xiao Ying lowered her head and said with grievance, "I didn't lie to Daddy."
Madam Xiao immediately asked, "Then what do you want a million for?"
Xiao Ying continued pitifully, "I'm doing this to pay Brother Cheng back for the electricity bill."
Madam Xiao became even more furious."You want to use a million yuan for the electricity bill, you..."
"Enough!"
Before Madam Xiao could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a loud shout.
Xiao Lingbo pushed her away and she accidentally fell to the ground.
She was stunned.
This was the first time Xiao Lingbo had physically moved her like that.
In an instant, Madam Xiao's noble bearing completely disappeared.
Sitting on the ground, she shouted at Xiao Lingbo, "Xiao Lingbo, how dare you hit me!"
Xiao Lingbo was also momentarily worked up, but he regretted it immediately after making his move.
He looked at Madam Xiao apologetically and prepared to help her up.
With Xiao Lingbo showing weakness, Madam Xiao felt even more justified.
She sat on the ground and threw a tantrum.
Xiao Lingbo felt a sense of disdain when he saw Madam Xiao behaving like this.
But this was his fault.
His patience ran out under Madam Xiao's constant antics.
Xiao Ying added weakly, "Forget it. Daddy, Mommy, don't be unhappy because of this. I don't want money anymore. I won't give Brother Cheng any gifts."
When Xiao Lingbo heard this, his anger, which had just subsided, rose again.
Most importantly, Xiao Ying had given him an excuse.
Xiao Lingbo had long been annoyed by Madam Xiao.
He knew he had been in the wrong for hitting his wife for the first time.
But what if this woman made a mistake first?
Xiao Lingbo slapped Madam Xiao in the face.
This time, it was different from a casual slip of the hand.
It could have been said that he hadn't done it on purpose at first, but now, this slap was aimed directly at Madam Xiao.
After the beating, Madam Xiao became well-behaved and didn't recover from the blow for a long time.
Xiao Lingbo was relieved as he asked Xiao Ying with an amiable smile:
"Ying'er, why did Mr. Cheng ask you to pay him back?"
Xiao Ying said with some difficulty, "I stayed at Brother Cheng's house two days ago. He said he would look for you to cover the electricity bills."
With that said, Xiao Ying lowered her head as though she was afraid Xiao Lingbo would criticize her. 𝗳𝘳𝗲𝘦𝑤𝐞𝚋𝚗o𝘷𝘦𝚕 - 🅽🅽novel
Xiao Lingbo laughed and patted Xiao Ying on the head.
He swiftly took out a card and handed it to Xiao Ying.
He didn't look like he was in pain at all.
Xiao Ruoxuan watched with jealousy.
He didn't even remember to help Madam Xiao up.
Xiao Ruoxuan was very interested in the Brother Cheng that Xiao Ying had mentioned.
Xiao Ying did not stand on ceremony either. Since Xiao Lingbo had given the card to her, she readily accepted it.
She heard Xiao Lingbo's exhortations.
They went in her left ear and out of her right.
The reason he kept making a fuss was to ask her to invite Cheng Yang to the house.
Xiao Lingbo's anxiety made Xiao Ying even more certain that the Xiao family must have encountered some problem.
"Ying'er, serve Mr. Cheng well."
With that said, Xiao Lingbo happily left.
Could a person like Mr. Cheng be short of money?
He looked at Xiao Ying's delicate and pretty little face.
Xiao Lingbo had another guess in his mind.
Had Cheng Yang fallen for Xiao Ying?
It would be best if he liked her, and that kind of relationship would be very practical.
As for Xiao Ying, the Xiao family had raised her for so many years. What would be wrong with sacrificing a little for the Xiao family?
