Chapter 633: Chapter 621: My Daughter Is a Vicious Supporting Female Character 21
On the plane, Jiang Shaohui and the other four looked at their mobile phones watching the live stream.
When they saw Anning appear, all five of them couldnāt help but shed tears.
They had been searching for twenty whole years. For how many days and nights they couldnāt rest at ease, unable to sleep soundly at night. Now that they had seen Anning, they were finally at peace.
"Ningning is still so young, but we have aged."
Chu Meng said while wiping away tears, "I donāt know if Ningning would still blame us."
Zhou Zhenhua felt somewhat guilty, "We failed to take good care of Ningning, nor did we take care of her daughter. I feel too ashamed to face Ningning."
To be honest, nobody was to blame for what happened back then.
Anning and the five including Jiang Shaohui had grown up together since they were children. The six of them were so close that they were inseparable in their younger days. But as they grew up and became sensible, they each developed their own thoughts.
Jiang Shaohui and Su Yuan Kun both fell in love with Anning. Before the two brothers could figure things out, they learned about Chu Mengās feelings for Su Yuan Kun.
Anning was young back then, and not yet wise to the world. Because of this, she distanced herself from the five, treating them with cold words and sarcasm.
In fact, the young girl was willing to make Chu Mengās wish come true.
She wanted her "brother" and "sister" to be happy together.
But she didnāt understand that it wasnāt a matter of one-sided wishful thinking, and that the two wouldnāt be happy just because she stepped back.
She only thought that if she distanced herself from them a bit, or treated them well.
At that time, Anning didnāt want Jiang Shaohui and Su Yuan Kun to waste their feelings on her.
Nor did she want the other three to always focus on her. She felt that, regardless of whether the Sheng Family raised them or not, they should have their own lives, live for themselves, and not always revolve around her and the Sheng Family.
Because of this mentality, Anning became particularly indifferent to the five in the following years, and when they met, she was full of mockery and sarcasm.
This also led to her death at the hands of Zou Huai De without anyone knowing.
After she disappeared, Zou Jingjing was always looked after by her grandmother. Zou Jingjingās grandmother was a kind-hearted old lady who had been very good to Anning after she married Zou Huai De.
After Zou Jingjing lost her mother, her grandmother, feeling sorrow for her grandchild and fearing that a stepmother wouldnāt treat Zou Jingjing well, decided to raise her by her side.
It was only at the beginning that Jiang Shaohui and the others had seen Zou Jingjing. Seeing that the little girl was being raised clean and tidy by her grandmother, they were reassured and focused all their attention on finding Anning.
They actually had some other thoughts in mind.
They didnāt believe the rumors that Anning had eloped. They thought that Anning must have left because something had happened.
They also thought that since Anning didnāt take Zou Jingjing with her when she left, it implied her daughter wasnāt important to her.
Especially Jiang Shaohui and Su Yuan Kun, who really hated Zou Huai De.
Not only because Zou Huai De had taken Anning away but also because they discredited Zou Huai Deās character. Because Zou Jingjing carried half of Zou Huai Deās blood, once they had made sure that Zou Jingjingās daily life was not too bad, they stopped caring for the little girl.
But now, seeing Anning being so good to Zou Jingjing and the deep affection between mother and daughter that everyone envied, they couldnāt help but start to ponder whether they had made a mistake back then.
They should have immediately gone back to take Jingjing away when they couldnāt find Anning.
No matter who among them had stepped forward to take Jingjing with them, the little girl wouldnāt have had to suffer so much.
After watching the live stream, Jiang Shaohui was silent for a while before saying, "Stop thinking about the past. Now that we know what happened, we have to seek justice for Anning. And we havenāt taken good care of Jingjing over the years; now we need to properly make it up to the child. After all, we are the childās uncles and aunts."
Chu Meng nodded, "I donāt have children, so Jingjing is also my child from now on."
Jiang Shaohui smiled.
Anning was always the most important one in his heart, whether in the past or in the future.
He has harbored love since his teens, and aside from Anning, he has never had feelings for anyone else. Years have passed, and the one still etched in his heart is Anning.
There was a time he harbored resentment by association, but now that Anning safely returned, he has developed affection by association. Knowing Anning likes Jingjing, he also placed Jingjing in a very significant position in his heart.
Zhou Zhenhua put away his cellphone and leaned back in the chair, resting with his eyes closed.
Yet he was contemplating what he could give to Jingjing.
At this moment, Anning was dragging Zou Xuexuan and Liu Yue Mei to cook.
With Anning watching, the mother-daughter pair couldnāt run even if they wanted to.
Anning first took out the greens and asked Liu Yue Mei to pick and wash them.
Liu Yue Mei tried to make excuses.
Anning laughed, her voice not loud, "I heard our Jingjing has been helping her Grandma with picking vegetables since she was three, big sis, you canāt be worse than a three-year-old, right? Canāt cook, canāt even wash vegetables?"
She then glanced at Zou Xuexuan, "Xuan, can you pick the green beans? Oh dear, this one has worms, throw away the worm-infested part, donāt be afraid, itās just a vegetable worm, let me tell you, green beans with worms mean no pesticides, we can eat assuredly."
Seeing Zou Xuexuan wanting to burst with anger.
Anning took a kitchen knife and grabbed a potato, swiftly peeling the skin clean, "Hurry up and get those green beans picked, I still have to cook in a bit."
Liu Yue Mei was reluctant to move, wanting to work as little as possible. Anning said with a feigned smile, "Otherwise, you can cut the vegetables. I presume your knife skills should be decent."
Liu Yue Mei shook her hands to express she didnāt know how.
Anning said, "Then letās just boil potatoes to eat. I can eat anything, just worried you all wonāt be able to stomach it. Remember the year I fell off a cliff and broke all my bones? Lay in the mountains for several months, couldnāt move, had to eat the bugs I dug out of the ground. Iād eat whatever I saw, thereās nothing in this world that Iām afraid to eat."
Disgusting.
Liu Yue Mei felt nauseous upon hearing this.
Zou Xuexuan also felt discomfort in her stomach.
Anning began to slice the potatoes, "Look at me, why am I telling you all this? Now you wonāt even be able to eat."
After she finished slicing the potatoes, she got closer to Liu Yue Mei to watch her pick vegetables, and while others werenāt noticing, Anning turned off the recording device, whispering in Liu Yue Meiās ear, "Do you understand what Iām saying? I was pushed down the mountain by Zou Huai De. I was lucky to survive, now Iāve crawled out of hell, Iām not afraid of anything. If you push me too far, I wouldnāt mind letting you fully experience what Iāve been through. Bugs are nothing, if you donāt behave, I can shove dung into your mouth."
This chilling sentence entered Liu Yue Meiās ears.
Liu Yue Mei shuddered all over from fright.
Anning patted her shoulder and turned the recording device back on, "Youāre doing well, keep it up, big sis."
This phrase full of rural charm instantly lowered Liu Yue Meiās status.
Her high-end custom-made gown almost seemed like cheap street stall goods.
Liu Yue Mei wanted to explode in anger.
She wanted to curse, "Screw your ābig sisā."
But remembering what Anning had just said, she knew that Anning wasnāt joking; she was serious.
At this time, Liu Yue Mei certainly didnāt dare to provoke Anning.
She was terrified that if she really angered Anning, Anning would truly shove dung in her mouth.
After all, this is the countryside; finding feces is not hard.
Liu Yue Mei could only force a laugh and obediently do her work with her head bowed.
If she doesnāt dare to react, Zou Xuexuan is even less daring.
