At the dinner table, Xie Yuanping and Xia Yao sat on one side, while Xia Xinxin sat opposite them.
When Xia Chuyue came out of the restroom, she saw the empty seat next to Xia Xinxin, but ignored it and sat down on the other side by herself.
Upon seeing this, Xia Xinxin suddenly tightened her grip on the chopsticks.
She looked up at Xia Chuyue with a wronged and cautious expression.
The table was long and narrow, and it wasn't easy to pick up food from the side where Xia Chuyue was sitting.
Seeing this, Xie Yuanping spoke earnestly:
"Chuyue, I was just angry and spoke a bit harshly. I apologize to you here."
However, Xin Xin meant well. You two sisters shouldn't hold grudges; you should respect and love each other.
"You and Xinxin can sit together and have a chat."
Xia Chuyue exclaimed "Ah!" upon hearing this, as if she were listening to a joke.
"Are you kidding me? Me and Xia Xinxin are sisters? And we love and respect each other?"
Xia Chuyue's tone was like the cold moon hanging in the starry sky. She didn't use any tone of surprise. Even though it was a question, she said it in a cold statement.
Of course, that makes it even more infuriating.
Xie Yuanping felt that he and this daughter must have had a grudge in their past lives, or that their horoscopes were incompatible.
Otherwise, why would Xie Yuanping's head ache and his temper become inexplicably irritable whenever he hears her speak?
Xia Xinxin bit her lip, her eyes reddening even more.
She likes to wear light-colored clothes, and with her big eyes wide open, she looks pitiful and innocent.
"I'm sorry, I know that in your heart, I don't deserve to be your sister."
Xia Chuyue gave a soft "hmm" and rested her chin on her hand, enjoying Xia Xinxin's performance.
"Yes, I really don't like you."
Upon hearing this, Xia Xinxin's big eyes welled up with tears, as if she was about to burst into tears of grievance at any moment.
Xie Yuanping slammed down his chopsticks and angrily rebuked Xia Chuyue for going too far.
“Xinxin is your sister! She’s obedient, sensible, and well-behaved, unlike you! Since you came to the Xia family, you’ve made a complete mess of this place!”
Xia Chuyue kept a straight face, her expression slightly curious, and turned to look at Xie Yuanping.
“When Xia Xinxin and I argue, you always seem to side with Xia Xinxin. Why? It’s like she’s your own daughter.”
These words seemed to have touched on some key word, causing a hint of panic to rise in both Xie Yuanping's and Xia Xinxin's eyes.
However, Xia Xinxin quickly sniffed and her expression returned to pitiful.
"Sister, what are you saying! Dad raised me from a baby, so he's no different from my own son! Oh~ I know, sister, are you jealous?"
Xia Chuyue instantly got goosebumps and quickly rubbed her arms.
"Can you please stop disgusting me?"
Xia Xinxin was about to say something when Xia Yao across from her put down her chopsticks, her expression turning serious.
"If you're not sisters, then you're not sisters. You two have had your identities mixed up for so many years, it's time to go back to the normal place."
"Let's move Xin Xin out of the Xia family's household registration."
Xia Yao invited Xia Chuyue over for dinner this time because she wanted to completely resolve the issue of the real and fake heiresses.
These words immediately stirred up a huge wave of discussion.
Disbelief appeared in Xia Xinxin's eyes, and Xie Yuanping's eyes darkened even more.
As a mother, Xia Yao is gentle and patient, and is also a top-notch actress and national goddess in the entertainment industry. She has never said anything harsh to Xia Xinxin.
Yet this gentle person said he wanted to kick him out.
Xia Xinxin was somewhat incredulous, but managed a forced smile.
"Mom, what are you saying? Don't you want me anymore?"
Xia Xinxin's eyes instantly welled up with tears as she looked sadly at Xia Yao.
After living together for so many years, Xia Yao also had feelings for Xia Xinxin, but she felt even more sorry for Xia Chuyue.
Despite her gentle and soft appearance, Xia Yao is actually quite rational and clear-headed.
With a sigh, Xia Yao shook her head and said:
“Xin Xin, I’ve raised you for so many years, and naturally I’m reluctant to let you go, but everything should get back on track.”
“I know you feel wronged, but the life you’ve enjoyed all these years isn’t fake. It’s Chuyue who should feel more wronged.”
"You have received a good education and have a good life. You have also achieved some success in the entertainment industry. These are all guarantees for your future life."
"Yueyue has been away from us for so many years, and I want to make up for it and make up for the life we missed over the years."
Xia Chuyue was originally just watching the show, remaining uninvolved.
But now, a warm current suddenly flowed through her heart, as if she had suddenly soaked in a hot spring in the dead of winter, and her whole body was enveloped in warmth.
Although Xie Yuanping isn't a great person, my mother is quite nice.
Xia Yao heard Xia Chuyue's thoughts again and couldn't help but show a hint of surprise, glancing towards Xia Chuyue.
Xia Xinxin, on the other hand, heard a faint electrical sound, as if something was being blocked.
However, the electrical hum soon disappeared.
Xia Xinxin was in a state of confusion and panic, completely unaware of the unexpected event.
The most urgent thing now is to prevent Xia Yao from driving him away!
Xia Xinxin is very good at flattering and behaving herself. She played the family card with Xia Yao, her eyes brimming with tears.
Xie Yuanping also chimed in, anxiously and heartbrokenly saying that he had raised Xinxin for so many years and was really reluctant to part with her.
Xia Yao wanted to end this farce, but she remained unmoved and only sighed.
"No need to say anything more, I can still make decisions about the Xia family."
Having said that, Xia Xinxin and Xie Yuanping had nothing more to say.
Xia Xinxin lowered her head, a hint of hatred flashing across her face, and glanced at Xia Chuyue and Xia Yao.
