Chapter 95: Xuanxuan Wants to Stay with Mommy Jiang Sui for Her Whole Life
The other woman also asked with feigned curiosity, “Yes, I’m curious too. Everyone says Xuanxuan is your goddaughter, but nobody ever mentions her father or mother.”
Jiang Sui’s expression visibly turned cold.
“Must I bring up Xuanxuan’s parents? I’ve already said I don’t want to talk about it. If you insist on digging into her parents, then I’ll never bring Xuanxuan before the public again.”
Her words were domineering and resolute.
Jiang Sui stood up at once, taking Xuanxuan’s hand and preparing to leave.
Neither the host nor the production team had expected her reaction to be so severe. For a moment, they were all at a loss.
Meanwhile, Lu Ye, far away overseas, was also watching the live interview broadcast.
When he saw this scene, his face likewise turned icy.
His secretary, standing by and waiting for orders, watched the pen in the boss’s hand being squeezed almost to the point of snapping.
By now, the secretary was no longer surprised that the boss liked watching Jiang Sui’s livestreams.
After all, ever since the last time the boss had watched that parent-child livestream featuring Jiang Sui and Miss Xuanxuan, he seemed to have become addicted to livestreams.
Even just now, he had opened this program right on time.
Lu Ye wanted to shut the program down immediately. With his ability, of course he had that right.
But he knew Jiang Sui did not seem to like other people interfering in her affairs.
Yet whether it was Jiang Sui’s cold, furious face or Xuanxuan’s aggrieved expression, both made his usually refined features darken with a savage edge.
Ever since leaving the country, Lu Ye had had a feeling.
He always felt as though the first half of his life had been like a puppet on strings, dutifully carrying out everything he was meant to do.
Even now, when he thought back on everything that had happened before, he could not even recall the emotions of the past.
And all of that began to change the moment he saw Jiang Sui’s livestream.
This was not some emotional illusion.
It was...
an awareness from head to toe, down to the soul.
He lowered his eyes and kept watching the live interview before him.
“Why is your reaction so strong, Jiang Sui? Did I say something that upset you?” the host asked in surprise.
Xu Manman and Li Lan exchanged a glance, both of them showing a hint of confusion.
At that moment, Xuanxuan suddenly spoke.
“My father and mother are both gone...” Her voice was very soft, but the microphone carried it clearly to everyone.
In an instant, everyone was stunned, and the audience in the studio fell silent at once.
Jiang Sui said in a deep voice, “Xuanxuan, you don’t need to tell them. I’ll take you back.”
She did not want to keep recording this damned program for even one more second.
In truth, Jiang Sui had long anticipated that such a question would come up on the show, and she knew what they were trying to do.
She had also prepared countermeasures long ago.
But when she saw them making things difficult for Xuanxuan, a blaze of fury shot straight to the top of her head.
Damn it.
She was not without other ways to go about this. Why should Xuanxuan be bullied like this?
What she had not expected was that Xuanxuan would say it herself.
Xuanxuan pressed her lips together and tugged at Jiang Sui’s sleeve. “I’m sorry, Mommy Jiang Sui. Xuanxuan knows they don’t like Xuanxuan, but Mommy Jiang Sui said people should be honest... so, can Xuanxuan tell them about Xuanxuan’s father and mother?”
There was a careful hope in her eyes.
At this moment, the audience area also erupted in an uproar.
Could there be some hidden story behind Xuanxuan’s parents?
The host froze as well. Looking at Xuanxuan, a trace of tenderness flashed through her heart.
But remembering the instructions from above, she still forced herself to ask, “Oh? About Xuanxuan’s father and mother, can Xuanxuan tell us?”
Jiang Sui frowned. “Baby Xuanxuan, we don’t have to say it.”
She knew that because Xuanxuan had lost her parents so early, she was actually more sensitive and mature than most children.
Perhaps the host’s repeated mention of Xuanxuan’s parents had touched that sensitivity.
Xuanxuan gently pulled at Jiang Sui’s sleeve and coaxed in a soft, sweet voice, “Mommy Jiang Sui...”
Jiang Sui let out a faint sigh and nodded lightly.
Only then did Xuanxuan look at the host and say softly, “My father and mother died in a car accident when I was four years old. Xuanxuan no longer has a father or mother. But I remember that when I was little, my parents taught me how to read, write, and count.
“Later I met Mommy Jiang Sui. Mommy Jiang Sui taught Xuanxuan even more things, and she also cooks delicious food and protects Xuanxuan.
“So it’s okay even without my father and mother. Xuanxuan still has Mommy Jiang Sui. Xuanxuan wants to stay with Mommy Jiang Sui for the rest of her life.
“Mommy Jiang Sui said that people must not lie, and children must not either. Children who lie will be disliked. So everything Xuanxuan says is true.”
