Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

Chapter 76: Chapter 76: Sugar Water

Madam Xie hesitated for a moment before she said with a somber expression, “It was Auntie Sun who sent it over on your father’s behalf.”

“She’s that kind-hearted?”

Xuexue sneered in disbelief, considering she had beaten up Auntie Sun, who had long since hated her to the bone. How could she bring over sweet soup for her? There must be a catch.

“No matter what, she is still your stepmother. Could she defy your father’s face?”

“My father’s face isn’t worth a dime,” Xuexue couldn’t help but mutter under her breath.

“Xuexue.”

“Hmm.”

“Go on, go see your father.”

Xuexue knew she hadn’t truly let go of her adoptive father and didn’t want to be disobedient to her, so she reluctantly agreed.

“Fine, I’ll go,” she replied, her tone nonchalant.

Madam Xie said, “While it’s still not dark, hurry up, your mother is waiting for you to come back for dinner.”

Handing the bowl back to Madam Xie, Xuexue responded listlessly and turned around to head to the Mo family.

……

Upon reaching the entrance of the Mo family, Auntie Sun was already waiting on the side. Seeing Xuexue arrive, she immediately greeted her with a full-faced smile…

“Xuexue, your second mother has been waiting for you for a long time, come inside quickly.”

Auntie Sun’s abnormal behavior only deepened Xuexue’s suspicions. She looked around and asked coldly, “Where is my father?”

“He’s waiting for you in the room! Hurry, go inside.”

Auntie Sun stretched out her hand with a smile, intending to affably put her arm around Xuexue’s shoulder.

Xuexue sidestepped to avoid the gesture and continued walking forward. She found Auntie Sun’s feigned affection disgusting.

The smile on Auntie Sun’s face immediately stiffened, a flash of venom crossing her eyes before quickly raising a fake smile to follow Xuexue.

“Xuexue, your father is in the room.”

“Why would my father want to see me and yet be in his room?” Xuexue stopped in her tracks and asked, confused.

“Oh my! I’m just a woman, how could I understand the affairs of the Great Master,” Auntie Sun replied.

“You’d better not be lying to me, otherwise, you won’t want your other ear either,” Xuexue’s voice rang out coldly ahead.

Upon hearing these words, Auntie Sun’s facial muscles suddenly twitched violently; this was a pain that cut deep into her heart. That little wretch always reminded her, but after tonight, she wondered how brazen she would be.

It had grown quite dark on the walk from the old residence. Normally, the lamps in the Mo family would have already been lit by now, but it was strangely dark everywhere this evening.

“Why is it so quiet? Where is everyone?”

Upon being asked this casually, Aunt Sun, with her guilty conscience, became startled. How could this little wretch be so sharp?

“Ah hehe…! Relatives in town are hosting a banquet; they went to join them for a drink and haven’t returned yet. They left me and your father to watch the house,” Aunt Sun said through clenched teeth, hiding the hatred in her heart with a pleasant expression.

Soon, they arrived at Auntie Sun’s room.

“Quick, go in. Your father is waiting for you.”

Walking behind Xuexue, Auntie Sun’s face suddenly changed. She pushed Xuexue hard in the back, shoving her into the room.

Caught off guard by the push from behind, Xuexue stumbled into the room. By the time she realized what had happened, Auntie Sun had already locked the door.

“Xuexue, your second mother has found you a good marriage match. Once you’ve lived the good life, you will thank me,” Auntie Sun said before letting out a triumphant laugh and then turned to leave.

“Young madame, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.” Suddenly, a strange man’s voice sounded in the room.
