Xiao Ruoxuan had just returned to the Xiao family when she saw Cheng Yang and Xiao Ying entering the house.

After not seeing the two of them for a long time, Xiao Ruoxuan was a little dazed. Wang Boran asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”

Xiao Ruoxuan returned to her senses and smiled. “Nothing. Thank you for today. I’ll get going now.”

Wang Boran stretched his hand out to stop her. Leaning over, he said suggestively, “Don’t you have anything else to say?”

Xiao Ruoxuan naturally knew what he was talking about. If it was her past life, she would have agreed. But now… she leaned back slightly and said, “I’m going back.”

Wang Boran, who had not gained any advantage, looked at her unhappily. He cursed silently before driving away.

Xiao Ruoxuan thought of Cheng Yang, who had just gone in, and her thoughts became lively again.

Cheng Yang… was the man she had always wanted.

She thought that they would never have the chance to meet again, but who knew that they would meet again? She subconsciously ignored Xiao Ying, who was beside Cheng Yang, and kept imagining how he would fall in love with her.

Ever since she was young, Cheng Yang had been her dream demon. She kept forcing herself to become better so that she could stand by that man’s side one day.

Xiao Ruoxuan composed herself and walked in with her most perfect self.

When she entered, Xiao Lingbo was angrily chasing Xiao Ying away. After all, it was her fault that the Xiao family had fallen to such a state.

Xiao Ruoxuan looked at Cheng Yang first and calmed herself down. She pretended not to know and said, “Dad, why are you so angry?”

Everyone turned to look at her, including Cheng Yang.

With a glance, he turned around and said, “What are your conditions?”

These were the first words he had said since entering the house, but they were also the words with the most weight. After all, the conditions mentioned by Master Cheng were not ordinary benefits.

Xiao Lingbo and Madam Xiao looked at each other, and their attitude was no longer as intense as before. They said, “I’m not saying no, but this amulet is also very important to us.”

After saying that, he paused to observe their reactions.

Xiao Ying was anxious in her heart, but she did not show it on her face. She only said, “This is the only thing my biological mother left me. What do you have that’s important?”

Xiao Lingbo carefully observed her expression and guessed that she really did not know or was pretending.

Xiao Ying calmly took a sip of water and openly allowed him to size her up.

Xiao Lingbo continued, “This thing is very important to us too. You should know that.”

These words stunned Xiao Ying. Could it be that they also knew the secret of the amulet?

This made sense. No wonder in her previous life, they had hated her so much and still wanted to adopt her. However, they had killed her when she was 18 years old. That was also the time the amulet arrived and when she was reborn.

No wonder.

After understanding all of this, Xiao Ying’s expression became even colder. She said, “I don’t know what my mother’s things have to do with you.”

Her behavior made Xiao Lingbo think that she really did not know anything. But then again, she had grown up with them. The only woman who knew the truth was already dead. No one would tell her.

Xiao Lingbo heaved a sigh of relief. Thinking back to the useless amulet, he felt that he could trade it for some benefit. He already felt that he had been deceived by that woman twenty years ago. There was nothing magical about this amulet.

Just as they were about to agree, Xiao Ruoxuan, who had been ignored, gritted her teeth and said, “Ying’er, we haven’t seen each other for a long time.”

She was speaking to Xiao Ying, but her gaze was on Cheng Yang.
