Chapter 1236: Chapter 1140: Sowing Discord Between Mother and Daughter

Xia Yangyang asked Xia Ye to play with Xingxing here.

She herself went out.

Xia Yangyang felt heartache, but what was more, she felt anger.

Gong Xue’er had actually already started to manipulate the child.

This was something Yangyang could not accept.

Xia Yangyang went out intending to confront Gong Xue’er.

But she felt that she probably couldn’t change Gong Xue’er’s way of thinking.

So, Xia Yangyang decided to talk to Lu Haotian instead.

Coincidentally, just as she was a few steps out,

she saw Lu Haotian coming up from the stairway.

Each time Lu Haotian saw Xia Yangyang, his expression would become complex.

The whole person seemed to become much more subdued.

In fact, Lu Haotian now was no longer the Haotian she knew.

So many years had passed, and his personality had truly become much more composed.

Xia Yangyang said, “I was just looking for you, I have something to tell you.”

Lu Haotian spoke up, “I also have something I need to tell you.”

Both people looked into each other’s eyes and fell silent for a while.

Almost simultaneously, they said, “You go ahead.”

Then there was another moment of silence.

Finally, Xia Yangyang said, “You speak first.”

Lu Haotian didn’t demur further and began, “Today, she arranged to meet with you without my knowledge. It was not my intention; I didn’t wish to disturb your life at all.”

Lu Haotian seemed full of regret.

Xia Yangyang said, “I know that. My initial purpose was also just to see Xingxing.”

Lu Haotian said, “In the future, I’ll try my best not to let her disturb your life.”

Xia Yangyang sighed, “Do you understand Gong Xue’er’s motives?”

“How could I not know what she’s thinking.”

“It’s good that you know. I just hope that this time, you won’t let her succeed in her scheming.”

Lu Haotian fell silent for a while and didn’t respond.

Then he only asked, “By the way, what did you want to tell me?”

Xia Yangyang remembered her main point, “No matter how things end up between you and Gong Xue’er, I think you need to seriously consider Xingxing’s future. Although I am an outsider and have no right to interfere with your child’s affairs, Gong Xue’er’s attitude toward Xingxing is something even an outsider like me cannot bear to see.”

Lu Haotian frowned.

Xia Yangyang continued, “You know very well about Xingxing’s health, and you also saw that Gong Xue’er simply doesn’t take it seriously. If this continues, the consequences are unthinkable.”

Lu Haotian said, “You don’t need to worry about this. Tonight, I will take Xingxing away. After all, I have the custody rights to Xingxing, and I will take good care of her.”

Hearing this, Xia Yangyang felt a little relieved.

After pondering for a while, she ultimately chose not to tell Lu Haotian about Gong Xue’er using the child to influence him.

That would have been playing right into Gong Xue’er’s hands.

Isn’t that exactly what Gong Xue’er wanted? For her to bring up the issue to Lu Haotian?

Xia Yangyang said, “I’ve said what I needed to say. Lu Haotian, Xingxing is a very clever child, and I really hope she doesn’t become the second Gong Xue’er.”

“So, Xia Yangyang, I regard you as a friend, and here you are trying to drive a wedge between me and my daughter?”

Gong Xue’er’s voice came from the stairwell.

Gong Xue’er was coming down right at that moment.

She must have heard all their conversation.

But Xia Yangyang wasn’t feeling guilty.

In Gong Xue’er’s presence, she would still speak the same way.

Gong Xue’er walked towards them slowly.

Heading straight for Xia Yangyang, with an aggressive demeanor.
