After understanding animal language, the villainous girl is guaranteed to become a heartthrob.

Chapter 542 Who knows who will trick me this time?
Su Su's mother frowned deeply, her lips pressed into a tight line, and her eyes, filled with complex emotions, were fixed on her daughter's face.

Su Su met her gaze with indifference.

After what seemed like an eternity, Susu's mother finally spoke with a helpless expression: "Susu, are you in a bad mood today? Did you have a fight with your friends?"

Susu laughed in exasperation, "I didn't argue with my friends, Mom. How can I be in a good mood with the way you and Dad treat Huihui?"

Su Su's mother opened her mouth, as if to say something, when Hui Hui suddenly came over angrily, grabbed her hand and pulled hard, "Let's go downstairs to play, hurry up and take me downstairs to play!"

"Okay, okay, be careful not to fall," Su Su's mother quickly comforted her. "I'll take you downstairs to play right away, don't rush."

After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Susu and said, "We can talk about it when we get back."

Su Su remained silent, her disappointment in her parents growing stronger.

She looked at them, seemingly a happy family of three, and tears silently streamed down her face.

[Little Dai, have you eaten?]

Are you still busy? Why didn't you answer my calls?

[Little Dumb, what's wrong with you today?]

In the dimly lit living room, Zhang Xiaodai sat on the carpet with her knees bent, staring blankly at her phone screen.

It turns out that even CEO Qin, when unable to reach someone, would send messages repeatedly.

She used to reply to his calls instantly.

The phone screen went dark, then Zhang Xiaodai turned it back on, staring blankly at the chat content.

She pursed her lips and murmured, "Young Master Qin, how could you be so cruel..."

Half an hour later, the screen automatically lit up.

Xiao Qin sent a new message: 【Not replying to me?】

Zhang Xiaodai hesitated for a moment, then typed a few words and sent them: "Mr. Qin, when are you free these next few days? Let's meet."

The next second, the screen flashed and showed a call from Mr. Qin.

Zhang Xiaodai closed her eyes, swiped her fingertip, and answered the phone, "Hello."

"Xiao Dai," Mr. Qin's worried voice came through the receiver, "What happened?"

"It's nothing." Zhang Xiaodai said without any emotion.

Her reaction was so different from usual that Xiao Qin didn't believe she was alright and asked with concern, "Is something wrong at work? Were you bullied?"

"No," Zhang Xiaodai said sullenly. "Don't ask anymore, let's talk about it when we meet in a few days."

After a moment of silence, Mr. Qin's tone softened, "Okay, I'll make time to go over in the next couple of days."

"Okay, I'll hang up now if there's nothing else."

"Ah."

Zhang Xiaodai frowned, hung up the phone, and placed it face down on the table.

Mianmian leaned closer to her and made a soft cooing sound: "Coo~ Little Dai, don't be sad, he's a bad guy, don't be friends with him!"

Zhang Xiaodai turned her head to look at Mianmian, reached out and scooped it into her arms, a slight smile finally appearing on her tense face, "Mianmian, thank goodness for you."

After having a late-night snack, Jiang Yuan and her group parted ways. Fu Xiaoxiao and Zhou Shuyu went home with her, while Fu Xiaohang was driven home by Lu Chengzhou.

Lying in bed after taking a shower, Fu Xiaoxiao exclaimed, "Today was truly a thrilling day."

“Yes,” Zhou Shuyu echoed softly, “You know what? Now, when I close my eyes, I see scenes from movies.”

"What picture?"

"It's like Zhou Xiaowei was standing on a stool, opened the cabinet door, and saw a human head..." "Ahhh, I shouldn't have asked you."

Zhou Shuyu sighed, "The female lead's surname is Zhou, and I'm actually quite nervous."

"Pah, pah, pah, don't think like that!" Fu Xiaoxiao shouted. "Shuyu, you're so lucky, you'll never encounter something like that!"

Jiang Yuan chuckled and suggested, "Let's talk about something fun and interesting before bed, so we don't have nightmares tonight."

“I agree!” Fu Xiaoxiao immediately agreed. “Then how about we talk about those two girls you were livestreaming this afternoon?”

"Susu and Xiaodai?"

"Yes, do you think Susu will confront her parents?"

"Actually, I can't say for sure either."

"I can't understand some parents' insistence. Is it really that important to have a son?" Fu Xiaoxiao sighed. "After watching the episode about Su Su this afternoon, I called my mom to ask her."

Zhou Shuyu asked curiously, "What are you asking Auntie?"

Fu Xiaoxiao rolled over, propping her head up with her hand. "I asked my mom why she had a second child. Was she obsessed with having a son?"

"What did Auntie say?" Jiang Yuan sat up.

“My mom said that the inheritance pattern of mitochondria is passed down to daughters, not sons. For her, only by giving birth to daughters can she truly continue this unique maternal lineage.” Fu Xiaoxiao’s tone carried a hint of smugness and pride.

Zhou Shuyu also sat up and nodded in agreement: "Auntie is absolutely right."

Jiang Yuan: "A very insightful statement."

“Yes,” Fu Xiaoxiao said happily. “I even asked my mom, if that’s the case, why did you still want to have a second child?”

"What did Auntie say?" Jiang Yuan and Zhou Shuyu looked at her curiously.

Fu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "My mom said that she wasn't planning on having a second child, but one time my dad bought a defective condom, and she ended up having a second child unexpectedly."

"I see."

"Does Xiaohang know about this?"

"I don't know." Fu Xiaoxiao shook her head and explained, "I dare not tell him, for fear of hurting his self-esteem. However, my parents are very fair to my brother and me. If they give me 10,000 yuan, they will give my brother 10,000 yuan as well."

Jiang Yuan looked at her with a half-smile, "And then you always managed to trick Xiao Hang out of half of it?"

“Oh dear.” Fu Xiaoxiao’s eyes crinkled as she said confidently, “The main problem is that Xiaohang is a bit slow. Rather than letting others fool him, I might as well fool him myself. It’s better to keep the good stuff in the family.”

Speaking of this, Jiang Yuan recalled Fu Xiaohang asking her to help choose a necklace that afternoon and mentioned it again, "Does he have a girl he likes?"

"Another girl you like?" Fu Xiaoxiao frowned, a worried look appearing on her face. "Sigh, I wonder who I'll be fooled by this time."

"Why do you have so little confidence in Xiao Hang?" Zhou Shuyu found it amusing. "He seems very smart."

“Shuyu, you don’t know what he went through before. He only seems smart on the surface, but actually…” Fu Xiaoxiao pointed to her head and sighed, “Maybe it’s because my parents didn’t plan to conceive him, so… Xiaohang was born a bit slow.”

Zhou Shuyu: "..."

Jiang Yuan: "..."

Actually, Fu Xiaoxiao herself isn't that smart.

Of course, they didn't say these words out loud.

At that time, Fu Xiaohang was already lying in bed.

He held his phone, his two slender hands typing rapidly.

[Xiao Lan, I'm so sorry I'm only replying now. I just didn't have time to even check my phone. You know, I almost died today! It was so dangerous, so exciting, so thrilling!]
