Without Mina saying anything further, I have already realized what Xiao Minxing has been going through.
It is true that the villa was sold, it is true that the company has loopholes, and it is also true that the Xiao Family siblings have teamed up against him. The reason is no longer that important; what they ultimately want to achieve is to bring down Xiao Minxing and then divide everything he currently has.
Such malicious relatives send chills down one's spine, and Xiao Minxing has lived with them for so many years. How did he manage to get through all of this, and how did he end up where he is today?
I dared not think further, and cold sweat broke out on my body.
Mina came over and sat beside me, looking at me as she said, “Anan, you don’t need to worry. Xiao Minxing is someone who has faced life-and-death situations; he probably doesn’t care about the tricks those people are using against him. We’ve analyzed the reasons for his downfall this time, and it still stems from your relationship.”
I turned to look at Mina, listening intently to every word she said.
She seemed a bit helpless and took a long time before saying, “Last time, in order to let Xiao Zong leave first, Zhuo Feng blocked those people, and they were seriously injured. He just came out of the Hospital not long ago; I heard him analyze this matter.”
“From what we understand, the siblings of the Xiao Family have never really gotten along. Except for when they initially split up, they all knew that what Xiao Minxing had was worthless. For the past two years, they looked down on him and watched him make a fool of himself. They didn’t expect that soon they would be wide-eyed in shock; not only did Xiao Minxing manage to run that small broken company, but its momentum also grew stronger by the day.”
Mina had mentioned these things to me before, but at that time, she only said that outsiders were starting to take notice of him without mentioning the siblings of the Xiao Family.
I had never liked those people either, but I didn’t expect them to actually do such things to Xiao Minxing.
“Did they start targeting Xiao Minxing from that time?” I asked Mina.
She nodded but corrected herself: “The specific details are unclear; outsiders don’t know how far it goes. After all, this is family disgrace. If they hadn’t spoken about it themselves, it would be hard for outsiders to guess accurately. However, their attacks on Xiao Zong have been ongoing.”
I sneered and said, “It’s just that in the past they couldn’t touch him at all; it was a waste of effort.”
Mina slapped her thigh and said, "You're right; it really is useless. So there must have been a period of calm in between. But ever since you two got married, their restless hearts have started to stir again."
I glanced at her and said, "Stop beating around the bush and get to the point."
Mina rolled her eyes at me and then said, "I only heard about this later. The whole thing about you tricking him into marriage was not a compromise from the Xiao Family; it was all arranged by Xiao Minxing long ago."
"What do you mean?" This made me sit up straight on the sofa, looking directly at Mina.
She looked back at me and asked, "Xiao Zong didn't tell you about this?"
I couldn't recall, and I wasn't in the mood to think about it; I just wanted to hear what Mina knew about the inside story.
Suddenly, she became a bit arrogant and said, "You think you're clever? You still don't believe it? After being with Xiao Zong for so long, don't you know what kind of person he is? Do you really think that just because you threatened him a couple of times, he would actually give in? Didn't his family have any doubts?"
I had thought about this later on, but at that time, there was a child involved. Plus, the situation had already happened. Even if there were doubts, I couldn't come up with a reason. Especially back then, Xiao Minxing was not nice to me at all. Aside from family pressure, I really couldn't figure out why he would marry me.
Mina said, "With Xiao Minxing's personality, if he had no interest in you, it wouldn't matter if you were pregnant with one child or even twins. And I dare say his family absolutely cannot control his marriage. If he doesn't want it, no one can make it happen. He probably didn't want to soften his attitude in front of you at that time, so he pushed the matter onto his family and the child."
With her pointing this out, everything made sense. Not only had Xiao Minxing recognized me long ago, but I had also deceived him with the fake child story. So with his resentment towards me, he ended up making things this way.
I thought I was clever for designing this situation for him; in reality, he had everything under control all along. I had been stepping into his trap step by step according to his plan.
Thinking of this made me unable to help but look at Mina and ask, "Why didn't you say this earlier?"
She paused for a moment before awkwardly saying, "I didn't know! If it weren't for your blessing, I wouldn't have had the chance to understand him as a person; how could I have discovered things from the past?"
This is what you call a hindsight friend; it's enough to drive someone crazy.
However, she quickly said, "I don't understand him, but the people from the Xiao Family do. They know that this seemingly unimpressive woman is likely Xiao Minxing's Achilles' heel; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to settle down and get married."
It makes sense; often, the ones who know you best are your enemies. No wonder Xiao Minhui came to me to plead for Xiao Minxing. If we hadn't been in the process of getting a divorce at that time, I don't know how things would have developed by now.
"So you see, since they can't move against Xiao Zong directly, they'll find ways to target you. They know that as long as they can control you, Xiao Zong will lose his composure. Just look at how chaotic Zhi Xing has been lately; it's clear they've succeeded."
This was Mina's final conclusion, but the matter was far from over; otherwise, Li Ru wouldn't be going to such lengths to deal with Jin Ke.
I asked Mina if she knew what Xiao Minxing had gone out for earlier.
She looked at me oddly and asked, "That's funny. Sister, that's your husband. Isn't it you who knows best what he went out for? Why are you asking me?"
I looked at her and said, "He didn't mention going out before you arrived. Didn't you see he didn't even change his clothes? But when he saw you come in, he suddenly said he had something to take care of outside. I found it a bit strange."
Mina shook her head and waved her hand, saying, "Well, I don't know. Why don't you call him now? Maybe he just wanted us to have a chat or maybe he wasn't comfortable leaving you home alone. Seeing me here means there's someone to keep you company, so he just happened to go out for a bit. But I swear, I really don't know what he's up to!"
I smiled at her and said, "Why are you so nervous? I didn't say anything about you."
Mina protested, "You haven't said anything yet! You really should have looked in the mirror earlier; your face was written all over with the word 'suspicion.' You never acted like this when Xiao Minxing was out messing around every day."
I laughed at myself and said to Mina, "Looking back now, those messy things might really have been false. Just look at how he is now; I doubt any woman could get into his bed."
