Chapter 2 Emptying the Family Fortune
"She's just a country bumpkin, how dare she need a driver to take her around?"
The thought of walking into the city on foot made Xia Wenwen instantly resentful. She was the real heiress, and Xia Qianqian, the fake heiress, should suffer all the hardships she had endured!
Xia's mother pulled her daughter aside, worried that Wenwen might anger Xia Qianqian, and if Xia Qianqian refused to leave, it would be troublesome.
"Hmph!" Xia Wenwen thought her mother was still on Xia Qianqian's side, and stomped her feet in anger.
Meanwhile, Xia Qianqian had already returned to her room.
She wouldn't repay evil with kindness like the heroines in the novels she'd read before.
Since they can't accept her, she'll take everything useful with her!
She was about to go to the countryside, and these things definitely couldn't be bought there. Besides, if she left them here, it would only benefit Xia Wenwen, and she wouldn't do something so foolish.
She dragged out her wicker trunk and stuffed everything in the house into it.
After Xia Wenwen returned to the city, she had already taken away a lot of good things from her, but even so, it couldn't compare to what Xia's parents had bought for her in the past. A suitcase was filled to the brim in no time.
Xia Qianqian wiped the sweat from her forehead and pondered to herself: How should I dig out the gold bars from under the big locust tree?
She pushed open the window and looked outside, wondering how to get out, when she saw the barrage of comments in front of her start flashing again.
[The female lead is such an idiot, still admiring the scenery at a time like this? Her sister is coming to get revenge soon!]
Xia Qianqian listened carefully and indeed heard footsteps outside. Without hesitation, she grabbed a stool and waited quietly behind the door.
The door was pushed open, and Xia Wenwen walked in with scissors in her hand.
She became increasingly angry, thinking: These things clearly belong to her, why should this imposter get them?
She planned to cut everything up and send this country bumpkin who had taken her place back to the countryside naked.
If Xia Qianqian were to kneel down and beg her, she might even take pity on her and give her the tattered clothes she had worn before.
Thinking of this, Xia Wenwen's lips curled into a sinister smile, but before she could laugh out loud, she heard a whooshing sound behind her head. Immediately afterward, a sharp pain shot through her head, and she lost consciousness.
Xia Qianqian looked at her younger sister lying on the ground, and an idea suddenly came to her. She had been thinking about how to dig for gold bars, and now she had a solution.
She put the stool she was holding on the ground and then quickly stripped off Xia Wenwen's coat. The two women were similar in build, but Xia Qianqian was a bit taller. If she just bent over slightly, her parents would definitely not notice.
She quickly changed her clothes and tiptoed out of the room, intending to dig for gold bars under the big locust tree.
"Wenwen!"
Xia Qianqian had just stepped out of the door when she heard her mother's voice. Her heart sank. What should she do?
Hearing her mother's footsteps approaching, Xia Qianqian quickly came up with a plan. She stomped her foot, snorted, and ran out.
"Oh! You silly child!" Xia's mother shook her head helplessly as she watched her daughter run off angrily. She hadn't been able to stand up for her daughter today; Wenwen was definitely angry.
Actually, she didn't want to just stand by and watch Wenwen be bullied by Qianqian. But she had her own plans. If Qianqian changed her mind and refused to go to the countryside to get married, wouldn't Wenwen's life be ruined?
Xia's mother thought to herself that when Wenwen grows up a bit more, she will eventually understand her good intentions.
Xia Qianqian had no idea what her mother was thinking. Seeing that no one recognized her, she darted like a nimble little rabbit to the base of a big tree. Then, she took out the small shovel she had prepared beforehand and, without saying a word, began to dig diligently.
Soon, the shovel hit something hard, and Xia Qianqian's face lit up with surprise. She even glanced at the comments section and saw that someone had indeed raised a question.
[How does the female lead have such incredible abilities? How did she know there were gold bars here?]
Not wanting to be doubted by the people in the comments, Xia Qianqian muttered to herself, "So what they said was true. Dad really did hide something here."
Hearing her say that, the people in the live chat no longer had any doubts. They assumed that she had overheard Xia's parents' conversation by chance and couldn't help but marvel at how lucky she was.
Seeing that no one doubted her anymore, Xia Qianqian gripped the small shovel tightly, gave it a hard pry, and dug out a heavy little box.
She glanced warily to her left and right, and only after confirming that no one was watching her did she carefully pick up the suitcase and hurriedly return to her room.
Xia Qianqian took a deep breath and then slowly opened the box. When she looked inside, she immediately stopped breathing.
My God, it's real gold! A whole box full of gold!
She knew her family had some money, but she never imagined they were this rich. These gold bars must weigh dozens of kilograms; how much are they worth?
It took her a long time to recover from her extreme excitement. After calming down, she gently shook her head, thinking to herself that she couldn't take the money.
Since the comments weren't lying to him, then the sports mentioned in the comments were real. Even if he kept the gold, he had nowhere to spend it, so he might as well use it to improve his reputation.
Heh, and we can also take advantage of this to screw over the Xia family.
Thinking of this, Xia Qianqian took out one gold bar and put it in her suitcase, then packed the suitcase separately.
At this moment, Xia Wenwen was still asleep. After changing her clothes, Xia Qianqian dragged her back to the room, then packed all the things her sister had taken from her into a box. After doing all this, her gaze fell on Xia Wenwen's most treasured piano.
She sneered, picked up the stool, and with a loud crash, the piano was smashed.
Before Xia's parents arrived, Xia Qianqian had already left the room, carrying her suitcase and walking out. Seeing how difficult it was for her to walk, the servants secretly wiped away their tears; the young lady was so pitiful.
Although he was adopted, he still lived in this family for eighteen years. Now he's being kicked out of the house. It's so tragic!
"Qianqianâ" Xia's mother felt a pang of pity as she watched Xia Qianqian walk past her with slightly red eyes.
"Auntie, thank you for raising me all these years. I'm leaving now." Xia Qianqian bowed to her mother.
"What did you call me?" Xia's mother felt a little uncomfortable being addressed that way.
Even if you leave the Xia family, I'm still your mother!
Xia Qianqian shook her head and bit her lip: "No, it's better not to let my sister misunderstand."
As she said this, she raised her hand as if wiping away tears, then turned around, picked up her suitcase, and left the Xia family home with difficulty.
