Chapter 652: 340 Separation_2
Just as she happily reached out her hand to touch the dress, the little girl held up her chin haughtily and said, “This dress was bought by my mom from abroad. It’s a limited edition. Do you know what that means? If you ruin it, selling you wouldn’t be enough to make up for it.”
She could never forget the mocking and disdainful smile on the little girl’s face as she silently withdrew her poor hand.
“You can’t touch this. It’s a limited edition of Princess Belle. It’s my favorite doll.”
“How can you be such a bumpkin? You want everything you see. You’re really from a small town – such a bumpkin face.”
“You ruined my dress, and… How dare you hit me? Wuuwuu, I’m going to tell my mom!”
She stood there helplessly, she didn’t do anything. Why did her cousin blame her for ruining her dress and accidentally bumping her forehead into the table corner?
Back then, she didn’t understand what “false accusations” meant; she simply thought her cousin was strange.
Her cousin cried and made a scene, causing her aunt to scold her harshly. She couldn’t even defend herself.
“Look at the kind of child you’ve raised! Full of lies and even hurting my Xiangxiang like this. Get out! Leave immediately! I never want to see you again!”
Her father didn’t say anything and just pulled her away from the Zhus.
Before leaving, she glanced back at Zhu Xiangxiang. The little girl peeked from behind Lin Qing, mischievously sticking out her tongue, and her eyes sparkled with the triumph of her mischief.
“Dad, I didn’t ruin her dress or push her,” she cried, standing outside the Zhus’ gate.
Her father crouched down and wiped the tears from her face: “Don’t cry, Xiao Ya. Dad believes you. You’re a good kid; you wouldn’t lie.”
For the next few years, this scene haunted her dreams and she couldn’t forget it.
Whenever she was restless at night, all the indignation and grievances turned into threads of hatred in her heart. She held her breath, just wanting to confront Zhu Xiangxiang one day.
Why did you frame me?
As she grew older, she understood that some evil deeds have no reason.
However, back then, the proud and triumphant little princess was nothing but an impostor who stole someone else’s nest.
How ironic.
Zhu Xiangxiang, this is only the beginning.

“Ming Jing, wuuwuu, I can’t bear to leave you!” Tao Xingxing pounced on Ming Jing, hugging her tightly.
It turned out that Ming Jing hastily left the exam because Tao Xingxing had sent her a message, saying she had something very important to discuss.
At first, she was greeted with a warm embrace.
Ming Jing gently patted her back: “That’s enough, don’t cry. We have advanced technology now; we can still video call each other.”
Tao Xingxing couldn’t believe it: “You already knew I was going abroad?”
“I met Uncle Tao at the hospital and heard him mention it.”
“Wuuwuu, I thought you would be reluctant to leave, but you’re so heartless…” Tao Xingxing balled her small hands into fists and gently struck Ming Jing’s back.
Ming Jing let her vent.
Tao Xingxing had cried for some time and finally got exhausted, slumping onto the sofa clutching a bag of chips.
Even after crying like this, she didn’t forget to eat – a true foodie.
“My mom only told me this afternoon. I didn’t agree, but she already started processing my withdrawal from school half a month ago. Yesterday, the final procedure was completed, leaving me no choice but to accept. I hate them for wanting to take me abroad with them. I don’t know anyone there, and I always fail my English exams. What am I supposed to do abroad?”
They were leaving the day after New Year’s Day, giving her no time to adjust.
Talking about it made Tao Xingxing’s eyes well up with tears again.
“Uncle Tao is being transferred for work and has to go abroad. Aunt Wu is willing to give up her career in China and accompany Uncle Tao. Their love is touching. If they both go abroad and leave you here alone, would you be happy?”
Tao Xingxing thought carefully and shook her head: “I don’t want to leave my parents.”
Ming Jing smiled and hugged her: “The most helpless thing in the world is separation. There will always be an end to a gathering, and even I am just a passerby in your life. After you go abroad, you’ll go to a new school, make new friends, and in a few days, you’ll forget me.”
“What are you talking about? How can I ever forget you? You’ll always be my best friend, and I have to be your best friend too.”
