In the living room of the Xia family villa.
Xia Yan was busy comforting Xia Xinxin, who was heartbroken and crying, while Xie Yuanping clutched his chest and leaned against the sofa to catch his breath.
Xia Chuyue sat leisurely on the sofa, enjoying her melon.
Wow, this happened more than ten years ago!
Xia Yan has two daughters. Every summer vacation, she takes her daughters and her younger sister Xia Yao's family to the beach.
[Her two daughters were close to Xia Xinxin. One day, when everyone went back to the hotel for a nap, Xia Xinxin suddenly had a whimsical idea: she wanted to go see if there really was a Little Mermaid in the sea.]
But she didn't dare go alone, so she dragged Xia Yan's two daughters, who hadn't taken their afternoon nap, along with her.
Upon arriving at the beach, Xia Xinxin saw so many people still gathered on the sand, and her courage instantly grew. She abandoned her two sisters and jumped into the shallow sea.
Upon hearing this, Xia Chen, who was pouring water, trembled slightly and frowned.
Xia Xinxin took her aunt's two daughters to the beach.
But that's not what Xia Xinxin said when she woke up!
Xia Chen still remembers how Xia Xinxin cried so bitterly and sadly, wiping away her tears, saying that her two older sisters insisted on going to the beach, and she couldn't stop them, so she went along.
Xia Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and his fingers clenched involuntarily.
Could it be that Xia Xinxin had already started lying back then?!
Xia Chen himself had been framed by Xia Xinxin before, including not only being blamed for breaking a vase, but also being accused of losing a doll by Xia Chen, etc.
But Xia Chen never held it against them, feeling that they were all family and should be tolerant of each other.
Besides, he's the older brother, so it's not a big deal for him to take care of his younger sister.
But those were minor matters; how could Xia Xinxin lie about something as serious as this, a matter of life and death?!
Xia Chuyue shook her head and continued flipping through the pages.
There were staff members on duty at the beach. When they saw Xia Xinxin, a little girl, coming over, they advised her to go back immediately because it was dangerous in the sea.
Xia Xinxin naturally wouldn't listen. She outwardly complied, but secretly found a blind spot and, hiding from the other staff, jumped back into the shallow water.
After being abandoned by Xia Xinxin, the two sisters, being timid, originally planned to go back, but suddenly heard someone shouting loudly on the beach that a little girl was drowning!
They rushed over and found that it was indeed Xia Xinxin!
The two sisters, considering themselves the older sister and fearing they wouldn't be able to face their parents if something happened to Xia Xinxin, rushed over to save her.
[The two girls were thirteen years old at the time, and they were good swimmers. After jumping into the sea, they successfully found Xia Xinxin and swam to shore with her.]
Unexpectedly, Xia Xinxin got a leg cramp when she was almost at the beach!
[She instinctively stomped on both sisters' feet. The younger sister, startled by the kick, let go of her grip, and a sudden wave swept her away!]
[Holy crap, Xia Xinxin isn't saving people, she's clearly harming them!]
[Has Xia Yan gone mad? Why is she being so gentle and considerate to the criminal who killed her daughter?!]
Upon hearing this, Xia Chen couldn't help but close his eyes.
It's a mess, absolutely a mess!
When Xia Xinxin woke up, she clearly didn't say that!
Otherwise, Auntie wouldn't feel so guilty and would make up for it by showering Xia Xinxin with the love she had for her daughter!
[Sure enough, the root of the problem lies with Xia Xinxin!]
After being rescued and brought ashore, the older sister was too exhausted and passed out, leaving Xia Xinxin staring blankly at her younger sister being swept away by the waves.
She was so terrified that she forgot to call for help and watched helplessly as her sister was swept away by the waves!
By the time the beach rescue team arrived, Xia Xinxin had already fainted.
Two full days had passed since Xia Xinxin woke up. Thinking about what had happened at the beach, her body trembled uncontrollably.
[After crying silently for a while, Xia Xinxin was afraid that if the adults found out she was the one who had harmed the two sisters, she would go to jail.]
Just when she was in despair, her surviving sister suddenly developed a stress reaction and couldn't remember what had happened in the past few days!
Xia Xinxin knew that her chance to survive had arrived!
When the adults came to see her, Xia Xinxin cried with tears streaming down her face, saying that her two sisters insisted on going to the beach, and she couldn't argue with them, so she went with them.
Unexpectedly, a sudden wave surged up in the sea, sweeping away the two sisters who had jumped into the water. She desperately ran to rescue them, but could only pull one ashore.
Holy crap, Xia Xinxin can lie so easily!
This completely reverses right and wrong, turning harming someone into saving someone!
The adults were still grieving the loss of a child, and given Xia Xinxin's consistently well-behaved image in front of them, they believed her without much suspicion.
Xia Xinxin later developed a fear of the sea, which left her with psychological trauma that took several years to heal.
After taking care of her eldest daughter, Xia Yan felt extremely guilty towards Xia Xinxin, who was traumatized. She felt that her family had harmed Xia Xinxin, especially since Xia Xinxin had risked her life to save one of her daughters.
Having lost a daughter, Xia Yan poured all her love and guilt into Xia Xinxin!
[Xia Xinxin is really good at pretending. After calming down a bit, she considerately and gently comforted her aunt Xia Yan, often reassuring her and telling her not to be sad.]
Xia Yan was deeply moved. Although they weren't mother and daughter, after several years together, they were practically like biological mother and daughter.
The older sister, who had gradually recovered from the stress, had long forgotten the truth and was filled with gratitude towards her savior, Xia Xinxin, treating her like a younger sister.
