That's why Xie Zi'an customized these two motorcycles, personally assembled the parts, and painted them in the colors Xie Ziyuan liked.

All this was to fulfill her dream of being ambitious, free-spirited, and unrestrained, to tell her that she didn't need to be a lady; she only needed to be herself.

"You two siblings have been together for over ten years. He must have saved up several million in pocket money, so why does he only spend so little on you?"

Ding Ruoxu never bothered to pretend in front of Xie Ziyuan, and his greed was completely exposed.

Xie Zian glanced at Ding Ruoxu with a cold expression, not taking Ding Ruoxu's words to heart.

His expression was indifferent; he knew Xie Ziyuan would respond with a firm but not overt response.

His uncle had often stirred up trouble for Xie Ziyuan behind his mother's back; his tactics were so repetitive that Xie Ziyuan was tired of hearing them.

Does he really think everyone is like him, a petty person who only cares about profit?

Xie Zian scoffed, too lazy to listen anymore, and prepared to make some noise to alert the two people.

Just as I stood up straight, I heard Xie Ziyuan's impatient voice coming from the other end, her voice rising several octaves: "Don't mention him!"

Xie Zian's body stiffened slightly, marking the first time in Xie Ziyuan's life that she had lost her composure and revealed her emotions.

“Why can’t I mention it?” Ding Ruoxu said. “You’ve raised him since he was a child. You’re like a mother to him. What’s wrong with wanting some repayment now? Isn’t he the most obedient to you? Why don’t you say anything to him…”

"He is him and I am me!" Xie Ziyuan lost her composure for a moment, then her face turned cold and her voice remained indifferent.

"What's the point of me saying this? It would only make me look like I'm begging."

"They weren't family to begin with. Now that the one with blood ties has returned, naturally everyone's on her side. Who would care about a substitute?"

The chilling indifference in his voice made Xie Zian freeze in place.

So that's what Xie Ziyuan was thinking all along? He frowned, wanting to rush over and tell her that it wasn't like that, since his and Ding Huizhu's attitudes were clearly there.

Since Xie Li returned, he hasn't said more than a few words to her.

Ding Huizhu had more contact with Xie Li, but she looked down on him in every way. When things happened, she didn't side with Xie Li, but instead sided with outsiders, showing no intention of protecting Xie Li at all.

Xie Ziyuan clearly understood all of this, and even advised him many times on the phone to get closer to Xie Li and not to hurt Xie Li's feelings. Were all those words just lies?

Xie Zian looked puzzled, his usually unruly eyes now showing a hint of confusion.

Ding Ruoxu's voice deepened slightly: "If that's really the case, you need to be more careful around the Xie family."

"By the way, we got Xie Buyun's guest list. Madam Huo and we joined forces to win over all those VIPs to our side."

"Even the president of the Linjiang City Education Association will come to your birthday party. Look, you're the only one who'll be stealing the show tonight."

"As for that one, I heard that his academic performance is quite good, but without the help of people in the education field, he won't amount to much in the future."

"After tonight, that person will be completely crushed in the mud by you, and will never be able to rise again!"

As Xie Ziyuan listened, her eyes flickered slightly, and a hint of a smile slowly appeared in them.

“I know the Xie family can’t be trusted; just look at Xie Buyun.”

Otherwise, given her excellence, the position of heir to Huichuntang and the Xie family should have been passed on to her long ago.

"Why launch this Xie family heir selection plan when you haven't even found your biological father? What else could it be but to keep an eye on me?"
