The Blessed Beauty Returns with a Dimension-Chapter 29: Followers

"Dad, it’s our fault. Both Ye Hua and I thought she was our child, so we didn’t pay attention to our words. Think about it, who would be so cautious with their own child? Who would have thought she’d be so sensitive and run off like that? We didn’t even have time to stop her.

Don’t worry, she knows the way. We’ll go pick her up first thing in the morning and sort this out with the Jiang family."

Fang Zhiyuan was unconcerned. Where else could Jiang Xiaoxiao run to? It’s just the Jiang family after all.

"This kid, always running off. Good thing it’s not too far. Imagine if it was several cities away, it’d be nerve-wracking. Dad, don’t worry, we’ll handle this."

Fang Zhiyuan hurriedly reassured the old man. Seeing his father always made him nervous, as his father had been strict with him since childhood.

"Okay, okay, don’t just talk nicely. If the child runs off so easily, you should ask yourselves if you adults have done everything right. If not, how could the child run? Look at that kid, why didn’t they run from their foster parents, but only from you? Maybe you should reflect on yourselves. Enough, talking more is pointless. Get out of my sight, you make me angry."

The old man was too angry to speak further.

This second son was truly raised crookedly.

Ye Hua glanced at the Jade Pendant and envelope on the coffee table in front of Fang Zhixin, a hint of greed flashing in her eyes.

Smiling, she walked over, "Dad, since it’s for Xiao Xiao, let me hold onto it for now. I’ll give it to her when she comes back. She’s not being respectful receiving gifts from elders, let me apologize on her behalf. She didn’t grow up with us, so she’s not close to us."

She reached out to grab the Jade Pendant and envelope.

The old lady swiftly pressed down on the items with a half-smile directed at Ye Hua.

Even as shameless as Ye Hua was, this was still her mother-in-law.

"Mom!"

"This is not something you need to handle. When Xiao Xiao returns, I’ll have all the time to give it to her. After all, she’s our granddaughter. It’s not like she’ll never come to see us her whole life. No need for you to play the good person, you might just end up being the bad one instead."

The old lady directly took away the Jade Pendant and envelope.

Ye Hua was left speechless, inwardly complaining about this damned old lady.

She could never see eye to eye with her and never shared any benefits with their family.

Blame the second son for never pleasing their parents, always letting the benefits go to the elder brother.

Look at the life they’re living now.

It’s all because the old man and old lady won’t speak up. If they’d just make a phone call to those old comrades and friends.

Would their kids need to worry about whether to go to the countryside?

Otherwise, why would she go through all that trouble to bring that child back? It’s not like she was fond of Jiang Xiaoxiao.

Fang Zhiyuan and Ye Hua went home feeling extremely defeated.

The couple got into fights at home, quarreling over this matter all night.

Jiang Xiaoxiao took the bus back to her own home by herself.

She had never planned to stay with the Fang family.

Given how things were with the Fang family, Fang Zhiyuan never bothered with anything, and Ye Hua had never been kind to her in her previous life.

Although they feigned warmth for a few days to fool her into replacing her brother to go to the countryside.

This time, her attitude probably made them feel she was hard to tame, and they wanted to intimidate her to gain control.

They probably didn’t expect her to leave so decisively.

She thought of her own parents and third brother.

At home, they would usually help their mom make paper boxes after dinner.

The family would chat and laugh happily, but now she was all alone on the cold and quiet bus.

At this time, there weren’t many people around.

Jiang Xiaoxiao felt a pang of sorrow in her heart.

She was unclear-headed, what was wrong with her?

In her previous life, she was deceived so easily by Ye Hua’s smooth words and didn’t consider whether her foster parents had ever wronged her.

She actually doubted her foster parents’ intentions.

People can be so myopic.

As she got off the bus, Jiang Xiaoxiao walked home.

Then she heard rustling footsteps behind her.

Jiang Xiaoxiao turned her head!

In the shadows, she saw a large figure approaching, only discerning a tall man.

The streetlights here weren’t good; many were broken.

The darkness was a breeding ground for crime.

If there were a bad person, it would be truly worrisome.

Jiang Xiaoxiao quickened her pace.

Could it be someone after her?

She was scared too.

No one is made of steel. Even though she suffered in her past life, it didn’t mean she was tough. freёweɓnovel.com

She was just an ordinary girl.

She’d be scared if someone was tailing her.

The footsteps behind her followed closely.

And they were getting closer.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was genuinely frightened.

She quickened her pace and started running.

An outright sprint.

If she, a young girl, encountered a thug.

And something bad happened to her, there would be nowhere to seek justice.

There were no such things as surveillance cameras or advanced forensic technology back then.

She didn’t want any accidents to happen.

She ran fast.

Yet the footsteps behind her also quickened.

Jiang Xiaoxiao ran even faster.

She was about to rush into their family courtyard.

The person behind her suddenly grabbed her collar.

"Why are you rushing? Your..."

Jiang Xiaoxiao screamed, "Mom, Dad, help! Someone’s after me!"

Her scream pierced the sky.

Then Jiang’s parents, Fan Xiuying, and Jiang Lei rushed out, holding a variety of items: a fire hook, shovel, and a washboard.

Anyway, her parents and third brother rushed out.

Jiang Xiaoxiao obviously felt the person behind her let go.

Then she darted behind her parents.

Pointing at the person in front, she said, "Mom, Dad, this person was following me, they even tried to grab me just now."

Fan Xiuying, Jiang, and Jiang Lei were infuriated, how dare someone try such a thing on their Xiao Xiao.

Instantly, the washboard, shovel, and fire hook were swung at him.

"You dare follow my sister? Do you want to die?"

"Bastard! You dare tail my daughter? You’ve got the courage of a bear. Son, beat him. Beat him up good. Beat him to death; it’ll be on me. I’ve never seen anyone so bold to bully my daughter."

A brawl ensued.

"Uncle, Auntie, it’s a misunderstanding! I found your sister’s money and wanted to return it. Look, I’m not lying."

A large hand opened, revealing a few bills.

Jiang Xiaoxiao instantly recognized a familiar bill marked with a red number. It was indeed her money.

She hastily checked her pocket.

Oh no, it really was gone.

Probably because she dropped it buying a ticket when she got on the bus.

Fang Xiaohui peeked out from inside the house, wondering why Jiang Xiaoxiao had come back?
