Chapter 652: 340 Separation_2
âOf course, you can.â
Just as she happily reached out her hand to touch the dress, the little girl held up her chin haughtily and said, âThis dress was bought by my mom from abroad. Itâs a limited edition. Do you know what that means? If you ruin it, selling you wouldnât be enough to make up for it.â
She could never forget the mocking and disdainful smile on the little girlâs face as she silently withdrew her poor hand.
âYou canât touch this. Itâs a limited edition of Princess Belle. Itâs my favorite doll.â
âHow can you be such a bumpkin? You want everything you see. Youâre really from a small town â such a bumpkin face.â
âYou ruined my dress, and... How dare you hit me? Wuuwuu, Iâm going to tell my mom!â
She stood there helplessly, she didnât do anything. Why did her cousin blame her for ruining her dress and accidentally bumping her forehead into the table corner?
Back then, she didnât understand what âfalse accusationsâ meant; she simply thought her cousin was strange.
Her cousin cried and made a scene, causing her aunt to scold her harshly. She couldnât even defend herself.
âLook at the kind of child youâve raised! Full of lies and even hurting my Xiangxiang like this. Get out! Leave immediately! I never want to see you again!â
Her father didnât 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.
Tao Xingxing couldnât believe it: âYou already knew I was going abroad?â
âI met Uncle Tao at the hospital and heard him mention it.â
âWuuwuu, I thought you would be reluctant to leave, but youâre so heartless...â Tao Xingxing balled her small hands into fists and gently struck Ming Jingâs 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 didnât forget to eat â a true foodie.
âMy mom only told me this afternoon. I didnât 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 donât know anyone there, and I always fail my English exams. What am I supposed to do abroad?â
They were leaving the day after New Yearâs Day, giving her no time to adjust.
Talking about it made Tao Xingxingâs eyes well up with tears again.
âUncle 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?â
Tao Xingxing thought carefully and shook her head: âI donât want to leave my parents.â
Ming Jing smiled and hugged her: âThe 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, youâll go to a new school, make new friends, and in a few days, youâll forget me.â
âWhat are you talking about? How can I ever forget you? Youâll always be my best friend, and I have to be your best friend too.â
