Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 867: Chapter 877: Don’t Listen to the Dog Barking

”Look at them, An Ran seems to be quite familiar with that big star. Jiajia, why don’t you ask An Ran to connect you? With the help of such a big star, you could take so many fewer detours.” Sun Xuehui’s little mind games started clattering away again.

An Sijia glanced at Sun Xuehui with an annoyed look, ”Mom, do you think asking her will work? Back then, even when dad tried to get her help to speak up for me, she didn’t respond. She’s no longer the An Ran she used to be. It’s all your fault for giving that adoption agreement to that man for the sake of twenty million.”

If it weren’t for losing that adoption agreement, An Ran would still be the adopted daughter of the An Family and would still follow their words unconditionally.

Sun Xuehui also felt that this deal was a huge loss. Had she known that little bitch could manage such feats, she really shouldn’t have let her go so easily.

Seeing her daughter’s eyes redden, Sun Xuehui patted An Sijia’s arm, ”Jiajia, don’t worry; you still have mom, don’t you? I just don’t believe that without that agreement, she wouldn’t acknowledge me as her mother.”

Sun Xuehui stood up, adjusted her dress, and walked over.

An Ran was happily chatting with Lu Yi and Xiao Xiao. Seeing Sun Xuehui approaching, she couldn’t help but let out a cold snort; she knew this woman wouldn’t let her off easily.

Sun Xuehui saw that An Ran obviously noticed her yet continued chatting nonchalantly with those two young people, which irritated her, but she also gave Lu Yi a meaningful look.

He’s truly handsome and has a powerful family background. This little bitch really knows her way around. Looking at Lu Yi and her, it seemed like he was completely wrapped around her finger.

Despite her internal displeasure, Sun Xuehui maintained her composure in front of Lu Yi, gracefully stepped forward, and said with a smile, ”Xiao Ran, is this the friend you often talk about?”

Lu Yi had never met Sun Xuehui and didn’t know her relationship with An Ran. Hearing her speak like that, he was momentarily dumbfounded—An Ran often talked about him?

Xiao Xiao, seeing Lu Yi’s expression, knew he misunderstood. She nudged him with her elbow and whispered in his ear, ”Don’t listen to the nonsense.”

Lu Yi snapped back to reality, glanced at Xiao Xiao, saw the displeasure on both her and An Ran’s faces, and understood what Xiao Xiao meant.

Sun Xuehui finished speaking and casually sat down next to An Ran, disregarding her cold attitude, and smiled at Xiao Xiao, ”Xiao Xiao, can I have a private word with Xiao Ran?”

”Auntie, you say what you need to say; Lu Yi and I will just sit here for a bit. We won’t disturb you.”

When they were in Pingxi, Xiao Xiao knew how much bullying An Ran suffered from Sun Xuehui. Now that An Ran no longer had ties to the An Family, Sun Xuehui still wouldn’t leave her alone. How could she trust An Ran to be alone with Sun Xuehui?

Sun Xuehui always had a low opinion of Xiao Xiao, the daughter of a janitor, without any bit of upbringing. The main issue was this wild girl often foiled her plans. If it weren’t for Lu Yi being nearby, she wouldn’t have lowered herself to her level.

Now, hearing Xiao Xiao’s retort, she could no longer hold back her tone, which turned colder by three degrees, ”Xiao Xiao, it’s not that Auntie is lecturing you, but you should attend the right events for your status. Auntie knows you haven’t seen many grand events since childhood, but since you’re coming to such a reception thanks to Xiao Ran, you should learn the basic courtesies beforehand so that when someone talks to you, you’re not showing such naive fearlessness, which would only make you a laughingstock.”
