That was why Jiang Yao wanted to teach Mrs. Sun a lesson before she returned to Shu City. She probably thought that if she met Madam Cheng again, she might be able to call her Madam Cheng with peace of mind and use that method to cut off the relationship between the two of them.
She was really silly.
Even if she did not do anything and did not acknowledge someone like Madam Cheng, her biological mother would never fault her.
It was rare for her to have the time to return home. After she was done, Jiang Yao asked Lu Xingzhi to drive back to town. She felt that she should spend more time with her family when she had time.
When the two of them returned home, Second Uncle Lu and Lu Xiaoxiao were also there. The father and daughter seemed to be quarreling, and the momentum was strong. Mrs. Lu was trying to persuade them on both sides.
“What’s wrong?” Lu Xingzhi walked into the living room. Second Uncle Lu loved his daughter very much, and he had rarely spoken to Lu Xiaoxiao in such a heavy tone.
“Brother!” Lu Xiaoxiao’s eyes moistened when she saw Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao. “Sister-in-law! You’re finally home. Please help me persuade my old-fashioned father!”
Mrs. Lu shook her head repeatedly. “Xiaoxiao, you’re really willful this time.”
“What’s wrong?” Jiang Yao pulled the angry Lu Xiaoxiao aside and comforted her. “What can’t you speak calmly? Your father dotes on you so much, and you’re shouting at him. Do you know that you’re hurting him?”
Ever since she found out about her background, Jiang Yao cared more about her parents’ feelings.
After Jiang Yao’s persuasion, Lu Xiaoxiao finally put away her fierce expression and lowered her head, not saying a word.
Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu then began to talk about the reason for the father-daughter argument. “Xiaoxiao said that she doesn’t want to study anymore and wants to become a star. She said that a friend she met while traveling in Jindo City asked her to go to an audition with her and that she has a chance to be chosen.”
Then, Second Uncle Lu immediately scolded her in disappointment. “Tell me, is she talking nonsense? She’s a girl. It’s not like her family can’t afford to support her. Do you want her to be an actress in public? She’s not even studying properly. What is she trying to do?”
“Father, can you not say such harsh words? How can an actress be nonsense? Besides, it’s not illegal to be an actor. Who doesn’t show up in public when they’re working now? It’s not a feudal society. Can you not have discrimination against actors?” Lu Xiaoxiao stomped her feet anxiously. “Dad, I can sing, dance, and play musical instruments. Why can’t I give it a try? Maybe one day I’ll become a star!”
Jiang Yao facepalmed. It seemed like Lu Xiaoxiao had also made a fuss about wanting to become an actress in her previous life. However, her family had forcefully suppressed her idea, and Lu Xiaoxiao continued to stay in school. Not long after that, something happened to Lu Xiaoxiao that hurt her.
Lu Xiaoxiao had never seemed unhappy about anything, but that incident was a disaster for her. From then on, Lu Xiaoxiao almost did not want to step out of the house. She heard that Second Uncle Lu also regretted it. If he knew that Lu Xiaoxiao would have such a bad experience if she stayed in the city, he would have rather Lu Xiaoxiao go to the north and realize her dream of becoming a star.
Jiang Yao could not remember when Lu Xiaoxiao encountered that incident. She had not contacted her family, so it was already a while before she found out about it.
