I Became the Male Lead’s Stepmother After Transmigrating

Xiang Xiaoyuan basked in the sun for a while outside and soon felt bored. She walked into the shop holding the stool. The design she requested was not complicated. In addition, she was beautiful and kind. This kind of customer was the renovators’ favourite. After a while, Xiang Xiaoyuan got along with the renovators and began to chat with them.

Xiang Xiaoyuan placed the stool against the wall, she held her chin and listened to the renovators talk about his family’s situation. “Miss Xiang, nowadays, there are not many customers who are as easy to talk to as you. For example, when I’m done with the work in my hands, there will be customers who will find fault with me, saying that this is not right and that is not right. If I accidentally make a mistake, I’ll be scolded like a dog.”

Money is king.

“I’m a man, so I’m thick-skinned. I don’t mind being scolded. My wife has it worse. She’s the midwife of a rich family, and she’s always on edge, afraid that something might go wrong. Sometimes, when I see my wife so tired, I really want to say, ‘stop the f*cking work, we won’t be bullied like this.’ But it’s just a thought. If I don’t do it… how do I survive?”

“At your age, you should have a child, right?”

“Yes, she just entered university last year and majored in education. After graduation, she will become a teacher.” At the mention of his child, the renovator’s face was full of pride. “If she can get a decent job, she won’t be like her mother and I, who can only do labour work and earn some hard money. As long as the child can live well in the future, no matter how hard we work, it will be worth it.”

“Your daughter is really amazing.” Xiang Xiaoyuan gave him a thumbs up. “You and your wife are also very amazing.”

The decorator chuckled. “It’s difficult, but we have already endured the most difficult times. Now, we just need to work hard and earn money. We just need to be healthy and not drag our daughter down. If she wants to study, let her study. If she wants to work, let her work. Although we aren’t very capable, we will still try our best to support her.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan was touched.

Fatherly and motherly love were the greatest feelings in the world. Unfortunately, not everyone could have such feelings.

In her previous life, although she had parents, it was the same as not having any. When she was very young, her parents’ relationship was broken and they divorced peacefully. The two of them had a tacit understanding that neither of them wanted her.

Her father valued sons over daughters. He had always wanted a son, so after the divorce, he quickly got married, had children, and lived a happy life. As for her mother, although she despised her for being a burden, she still brought her along in the end. However, the good times did not last long. Her mother also found a man to remarry and got pregnant.

Both families had their own children, so her position became more awkward. She was clearly still her father and mother’s daughter, but they were not like her father and mother. Perhaps because of the influence of her family, Xiang Xiaoyuan had been sensible since she was young. She did not know if her parents would suddenly abandon her, so she learned to save money very early. When she was a little older, she began to earn money independently.

Every year during the winter and summer holidays, she would work part-time and date someone. She did not want to let herself be idle. As long as she was idle, she would remember that she was a child that no one wanted.

It was funny. Whether it was the new year or the holidays, her parents had never taken the initiative to call her. Perhaps in their hearts, as long as she did not contact them, they could deceive themselves and pretend that they did not have a daughter.

Later on, she became self-reliant and took advantage of her spare time in college to become an apprentice in a nail salon. She had a sweet mouth. Her sisters in the nail salon liked her very much and taught her a lot. After she finished her studies, she rented a small shop at school and began her entrepreneurial journey.

Fortunately, the business in the shop was good. She had regular customers and also had a large amount of savings. After graduation, she hired employees to run the nail salon and became a boss. Of course, she was not satisfied with the situation. She had a good education and successfully entered a big company. She had a formal job and after working for a few years, she saved up enough money for a down payment, she bought her own house.

Now that she thought about it, she had a hard and inspirational life in her previous life. The good life was clearly ahead and her boyfriend was ready to propose and start a family, but she died on the road of being proposed to.

It was too tragic.

…

At six o’clock in the afternoon, the renovators finished their work. Xiang Xiaoyuan took out the mineral water that she had prepared long ago and the desserts that the Lu family’s dessert chef had baked. “Thank you for your hard work, everyone.”

The renovators looked at their hands that were covered in mud and then looked at the beautifully wrapped box in Xiang Xiaoyuan’s hands. They hurriedly washed their hands and dried them on the hem of their clothes. Then, they received it with extreme politeness. “Thank you, Boss.”

She watched the renovators leave, closed the door, locked the windows, and prepared to go back to the Lu family’s villa.. Who knew that she would meet acquaintance on such a short journey.
