The father realized the truth and, having also tampered with the car, died in the crash.

He remained silent for a long time, his voice becoming hoarse: "But they've always treated you like a younger sister."

"Be a younger sister? Then why treat Xiao Baohe better and better? In the end, it's just that being a biological child is more important."

Father Xiao wanted to explain something, but couldn't bring himself to speak. In truth, all of them owed Xiao Baohe the debt of guilt for raising Xiao Tongying.

Xiao Tongying was kicked out of the Xiao family and her living expenses were cut off. The three Xiao brothers took back her assets and blacklisted her from all the local companies.

Xiao Baohe told Yao Feiran about this.

"I don't know why they suddenly wanted to drive Xiao Tongying away."

"It must be that what she did was discovered."

"That's true." Xiao Baohe's expression was indifferent: "Actually, I don't like Xiao Yaohui. Chen Chao's sister was raped and murdered, and he actually defended the murderer, making the other party's death sentence suspended. Maybe I don't understand the law, but I know that murderers should be punished with their lives. Moreover, this time he escaped and even said he would transfer two houses to me. It's really strange."

"Did you take it?"

"I didn't take it. Although I like money, I always feel a bit uncomfortable about it, I don't know why."

Yao Feiran didn't offer any advice. At that moment, Xiao Baohe saw the system panel.

What? Zhu Zexuan was asked to go on a blind date by his parents?!

She quickly looked up, and said hesitantly, "Feiran, I have something to tell you, but don't get excited."

"What is it?"

Yao Feiran pretended to be nonchalant. Because Zhu Zexuan was an important friend of Yuan Xuheng, his information could be updated in real time by the system.

"Zhu Zexuan's parents introduced a girl to him, hoping to bring the two of them together. They even brought her to their old house. Zhu Zexuan didn't want to meet her at first, but he couldn't resist his parents' pleas and agreed. The two of them got along very well."

Yao Feiran looked down and operated her phone.

Xiao Baohe asked curiously, "Are you asking him?"

Yao Feiran put down her phone and said calmly, "I broke up with him and blocked all his contact methods. We've been together for several years, and he's getting old. It's time to break up."

Xiao Baohe had been worried that her best friend would think she was sowing discord, but the matter was resolved so quickly.

"Don't be sad, I'll take you to Moon Island to cheer you up."

I'm not sad.

Although she doesn't lose her human emotions, they become very thin; she can easily let go and won't be affected by them anymore.

The two finished their conversation just as they were getting off work. Xiao Baohe had some things to do today, so she went home first. Yao Feiran's house was nearby. She had only walked a few steps when she saw a middle-aged woman walking towards her.

"You must be Yao Feiran. I've been waiting for you."

"Who are you?"

"Am I Zhu Zexuan's mother?"

"You want me to leave Zhu Zexuan? Don't worry, I've already broken up with him and blocked him. You can pass on the message for me. Since you've already gone on a blind date, we don't need to continue."

Zhu's mother's face darkened. She originally wanted Yao Feiran to leave Zhu Zexuan, but the other party took the initiative. Even if they were to break up, it should be her family who initiated it. What right did she have to dump someone else?

"You know that our Zhu family only has this one son, and marriage is all about matching social status—"

"Stop. I know about the importance of matching social status. I never intended to marry your son; we were just dating, and we've already broken up. I absolutely won't bother your son. On the contrary, you shouldn't let your son keep coming to see me." Yao Feiran glanced at her watch. "If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

She also had to go home to hold an online shareholders' meeting, so she didn't have time to listen to her talk about how outstanding her son was and how mismatched their family backgrounds were.

Yao Feiran turned and left.

Zhu's mother's face darkened even more. She had thought that the other party was so reluctant to part with her son, and she was even thinking that if all else failed, she would give him some compensation for the years she had dated her son. But the other party did not follow her wishes at all, and she even suspected that the other party had never liked her at all.

Not long after, Zhu Zexuan came to the company.

He looked somewhat haggard and stared at Yao Feiran, saying, "You blocked me."

To be honest, Yao Feiran felt that she had a pretty good relationship with him over the years. He was generous and good-looking. However, she had long expected that the relationship would not work out, so she was not disappointed.

"Since you've already met your blind date, you should know there's no future for us."

"You can't be so heartless. I'm just appeasing my mom temporarily. I'll gradually get her to accept you. You can't cut off all contact with me because of one mistake!"

"Can you marry me? If you want to marry me, show me your ID card and we'll get a marriage certificate. If you're worried about your parents cutting off your financial support, I can support you, but then you'll be considered a son-in-law."

A flicker of hesitation crossed his eyes.

Yao Feiran had expected this, and said calmly, "If you can't, then don't hold me back. If you compromise to go on a blind date this time, you'll compromise to get married next time. You're still my ex-boyfriend, so don't do anything disgusting, okay? Give me some face. I don't want to feel disgusted just thinking about you."

Zhu Zexuan looked at her calm face and his face turned pale instantly. He staggered back a few steps. While he was at home in pain and hesitation, she had already drawn a line between them. Moreover, he never knew she would be so indifferent to him.

Yao Feiran watched the other man flee in disarray, a look of confusion on her face. How did this man, who looked so clean-cut a few years ago, become so sleazy? Sure enough, when a man is tainted with scum, he becomes ugly.

After that, Zhu Zexuan didn't come for a long time, and Xiao Baohe was indignant.

"He's engaged to someone else. I never expected him to be a mama's boy."

Yao Feiran smiled. The other party was not a mama's boy, but rather made the choice that was most beneficial to him after weighing the pros and cons.

Not long after, Yao's mother called again: "Your Aunt Liu has another granddaughter. She takes care of her every day now. You and your boyfriend have been dating for so long. When are you going to have a child?"

"We broke up."

"Why? I think that young man is quite nice."

"His family is too rich, his parents don't approve."

"Sigh, these days it's true that people value marriage between equals, and marrying into a higher social class isn't always a good idea." Yao's mother, afraid of hurting Yao Feiran's feelings, said, "I'll cook you some of your favorite dishes. Are you going out to eat with your friends again tonight?"

"No, I'll come back for dinner."

When Yao Feiran returned home, she found that her mother had already prepared a table full of dishes, almost like a New Year's Eve dinner. The table was overflowing, as her mother was afraid that it would upset her.

Yao Feiran enjoyed her meal, but noticed that her mother kept answering and hanging up the phone.

"What's wrong?"

"It's all because of your brother. Now he's complaining to me about his wife. She was the one he chose. After they got married, he didn't come home to see her for years, and he didn't even call. I stopped interfering in his affairs a long time ago."

"Weren't they always very much in love?"

"I don't know him, but whatever he does, it's always someone else's fault."

Yao's mother was also a decisive person. When Yao Zhiliang got married, he joined the Deng family in criticizing her. After that, he never came back to see her for so many years, so she treated him as if she didn't have a son.

Now she's complaining to herself that her daughter-in-law is too strict.

She found it only annoying.
