As Ye Zhanying spoke, she didn't give Xie Wanying a chance to fight back. She dragged her along with one arm, like a pig, for two miles away from the hospital.

When Xie Wanying came, she specially changed into the new leather shoes she had bought yesterday. However, after being dragged around like that, the heels of the shoes were worn out.

Seeing that she was almost unable to breathe, Xie Wanying's eyes welled up with tears, looking very pitiful.

She kept patting Ye Zhanying's arm until they passed a bus stop, at which point Ye Zhanying finally stopped.

Xie Wanying gasped for breath, her heart bleeding as she looked at her worn-out leather shoes.

"Ye Zhanying, look what you've done! You've worn my shoes out!"

Ye Zhanying scoffed coldly, mimicking her tone sarcastically: "You've worn my shoes through! If you're so rude again, I'm going to drag you away with your face on my hands. Your skin is thicker than your shoes, maybe it won't break! Hahaha!"

After she finished speaking, she clapped her hands with a refreshed expression and strode away, leaving Xie Wanying behind, heartbroken and on the verge of tears, staring at the little leather shoes.

"Ye Zhanying, mind your own business!"

She stood up angrily, but could only slink home first and go to the hospital tomorrow.

Just then, the bus arrived, and she boarded it first; her parents were about to return from their vacation.

After completing the previous phase of research, both parents are highly likely to receive promotions.

She couldn't help but be anxious!

Xie Zhiyan has been away from home for the past few years, and she has enjoyed the treatment of a true only daughter of the Xie family.

She always gets the best things, her parents give her most of their salaries, and even her in-laws look up to her.

In fact, she knew very early on that she was not her family's biological child; she had vaguely sensed something when she was in school.

She did not inherit Xie Zhiyan's learning ability, athletic talent, or other aspects of his expertise.

Since Xie Zhiyan started school, the gap between the two has been widening.

Everyone around Xie Zhiyan said she was smart, and the most common compliment she received was for her well-behaved nature.

She studied late into the night, but her final exam results were always disappointing.

Even if parents didn't favor boys over girls when their children were young, no one would dislike a more outstanding child.

Xie Wanying was already very concerned, and after learning that she was not a biological child of the Xie family, she found it even more difficult to accept that she was an ordinary and incompetent person.

“Wanying seems to be struggling with her studies. Lately, I’ve noticed that the light in her room stays on very late. She’s a very ambitious child, but I’m worried that she’s putting too much pressure on herself. Lao Xie, do you think we should pay more attention to her mental health?”

When Xie Wanying was in junior high school, her mother passed by her room with a worried expression.

Mr. Xie put down his newspaper and said earnestly, "It's good that she has this ambition. If you go to her specifically, she might feel even more pressure. Studying has become her motivation. We, as parents, shouldn't interfere. If one day she really looks very tired and needs our help, then it's not too late for us to help her."

"As long as the child is healthy and happy, that's all that matters. We shouldn't worry too much about the rest."
