Chapter 307 Either She or Me
When Xia Yuan heard Old Lady Xia say that her younger sister had been found, Gu Yimin's face suddenly flashed through her mind.
When she met Gu Yimin, she had some guesses, but she deliberately suppressed them because if they were true, she would never be able to accept it.
"Where did you find it?" Xia Yuan asked.
"She's Xiao Si's mother who was bullied by you." Old Mrs. Xia said.
Xia Yuan clasped her hands tightly together and asked, "Has it been confirmed?"
"Yes, it has been confirmed." Old Lady Xia sighed, "Xia Yuan, after your incident is over, just live your life peacefully. It was your fault in the first place, your younger sister..."
"Are you planning to give the bracelet to her?" Xia Yuan interrupted Old Lady Xia.
"Yes, you have to give a gift when you recognize your relatives. I think this bracelet is suitable." Old Mrs. Xia naturally knew that Xia Yuan liked this bracelet, and she liked it too.
It was just that this bracelet was left to her by her mother, and she kept it as a keepsake. That's why she didn't give it to Xia Yuan when she asked for it. But when giving a gift to a daughter who had been lost for many years, she naturally had to choose the best and most expensive one. Whether she still remembered it or not was no longer important.
"I've been with you for so many years, but I'm not as good as someone who hasn't been with you for a single day! Mom, you're really disappointing." Xia Yuan's tone was very depressed, and she seemed on the verge of exploding.
After hearing her words, Mrs. Xia's good mood suddenly became sad again. She said:
"Xia Yuan, you always say you suffered a lot back home, but you only endured three years of hardship, while your younger sister has been out there for over forty! Is your heart made of stone? Why is it so hard?"
"She is living a good life now. Her family owns so many supermarkets and has plenty of money. She has also given birth to several good daughters, and each of them finds a partner who is better than the other. Why should she suffer?" Xia Yuan said gritting her teeth.
She knew that that family was incompatible with her.
Feng Hailan couldn't bear it any longer. "Xia Yuan, how can you say that? My little sister is doing well because of her own hard work. Our family hasn't given her a penny of help. She's been gone for so many years, so what's wrong with Mom feeling guilty and giving her some gifts?"
"What's wrong?" Xia Yuan pointed at the mutton-fat white jade bracelet on the table and said, "I've asked for this bracelet so many times before, but Mom said it was my grandmother's relic, and she kept it as a keepsake, and she just wouldn't give it to me. Now it's no longer a keepsake? I think you guys just saw how well she's doing, and you're trying to claim her as your relative. She's so capable, both of her daughters have found good partners, and the younger one has earned her hundreds of thousands. I can't compare to her!"
Old Mrs. Xia was so angry that her heart ached. Feng Hailan helped her up and said to Xia Yuan, "Xia Yuan, how can you say that? Don't you know how your family has treated you over the years? Go away. If you stay any longer, Mom will be even angrier."
Xia Yuan sat there steadily. "I'm not leaving. I want an explanation today. I've been suspended. You guys are ignoring me. I just want to ask why you're so partial. I'm going to say this today. In this family, either she or I, or I or she."
Old Mrs. Xia was so angry that she couldn't say a word. She covered her chest and gasped. Feng Hailan saw that something was wrong with her and immediately picked up the phone and called Xia Zhengming, "Come back quickly. Mom is not feeling well and needs to go to the hospital."
Xia Zhengming's workplace is closer than the hospital, so it would be faster for him to drive Old Mrs. Xia to the hospital.
At first, Xia Yuan thought that Old Lady Xia was pretending to be unwell. But now that Feng Hailan had called for help, she hurried over, took Old Lady Xia's hand, and said, "Mom, Mom, how are you?"
Old Lady Xia felt so suffocated that she couldn't breathe and couldn't utter a word. She was already angry with Xia Yuan, and now that Xia Yuan was holding her, she was even angrier, but she couldn't utter a word.
Feng Hailan pushed Xia Yuan away, stroked Old Lady Xia's chest to help her calm down, and fed her some water. Only then did Old Lady Xia feel a little better.
"Xia Yuan, Mom is so old, can't you consider her health when you speak?" Feng Hailan is usually very cautious in her words and usually doesn't talk to Xia Yuan like this. She was also angry.
Let her say that Xia Yuan is an ungrateful person. She takes her family's kindness for granted and blames them for not supporting her when she is unhappy.
They said that because their two daughters didn't have the surname Xia, they were treated differently from Xia Ying and Xia Yi. If you have the ability, don't marry out. Find a son-in-law and let your children all have the surname Xia.
Feng Hailan had also suffered a lot from Xia Yuan over the years, especially since Xia Yuan always compared Shao Yunhan, Shao Yunlu, Xia Ying, and Xia Yi. Whatever Xia Ying and Xia Yi had, Shao Yunhan and Shao Yunlu would also have.
This is because she is not the type to care about things. If she were to care about things, this family would have been in chaos long ago.
Xia Yuan was also worried about Old Lady Xia, so she didn't confront Feng Hailan this time.
After a while, Xia Zhengming and his secretary hurried over. Seeing Xia Yuan there, they knew what was going on without having to think about it. But he didn't have the heart to talk to her now. He just picked up Old Lady Xia and went out with her. They went to the hospital together.
After checking at the hospital, the doctor said, "The old lady's heart isn't very good. You can't let her get too excited. It's not a big deal this time, but it might be next time."
After sending the doctor away, Xia Zhengming pulled Xia Yuan, who was standing at the door of the ward, aside and whispered, "Xia Yuan, nothing will change about you. If you come home and make a scene, it will only increase our disgust with you. You're forty years old, not a child anymore. Dad and I won't always be there to clean up your mess. From now on, we won't care about your affairs anymore."
Xia Yuan could feel that what Xia Zhengming said was true, and she was really scared this time. Without the protection of her family, who would look up to her in the future?
"Brother, I know I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again. This is the last time, okay?" Xia Yuan cried, "If I get fired from my job, what will others think of me and our family? Please help me, help me."
"My dad and I are ready to accept the investigation from above. Do you think your affairs only involve you? Do you know how many people are watching me and my dad?" Although what Xia Zhengming said was a bit serious, when the next term changes, there will definitely be people who use Xia Yuan's affairs to attack them father and son.
"This time we'll let everyone know that whatever you do has nothing to do with us, and don't do anything in my and Dad's name in the future." Xia Zhengming was really going to be ruthless this time. He added, "Don't keep saying it's either you or my younger sister. If you force me to choose, I'll choose my younger sister."
"Brother, I have had a relationship with you guys for decades, how can she compare with me?" Xia Yuan burst into tears.
"We're both daughters of the Xia family. You've enjoyed decades of care and love from your family. What about my younger sister?" Xia Zhengming was truly disheartened. Xia Yuan actually said that. He added, "We're all sisters. It was you who forced us to choose."
After saying this, Xia Zhengming turned and entered the ward.
