Chapter 297 Don't trust them too much.
After hearing what Xia Qingying said, Mo Daya was a little puzzled. It was a good thing for her to sign up for the arts corps, so why couldn't she tell her family? After hesitating for a while, she still asked:
"Why can't you tell them?"
Xia Qingying felt it necessary to remind Daya that if she was not on guard, she might be suppressed or used by the mother and daughter of the Mo family.
After all, the mother and daughter never treated her as a family member, and even wanted to send her back to the countryside. How could they see her well? So she looked at Mo Daya and asked seriously:
"Day, think about it, is there anyone in your family who really cares about you and really hopes that you live a good life?"
After hearing Xia Qingying's question, Mo Daya's eyes dimmed instantly.
It was just as Xia Qingxiang said. Although she was also the daughter of Deputy Chief of Staff Mo, her stepmother and stepsister never treated her well. They never concealed their dislike for her and showed it openly.
She was not like the daughter of this family, but like their servant. She did laundry, cooked, cleaned every day... There was always endless housework to do.
Her father never took her seriously and did not care about her future. Even the job of cleaner she was doing now was something she found by herself.
Mo Daya was not stupid. After listening to Xia Qingxing's words, she quickly understood what she meant. After thinking about it, she nodded seriously and said,
"Qingxing, I will listen to you."
Xia Guyu, who was standing aside, did not know Mo Daya's life experience and family situation, but after hearing the conversation between the two, he roughly guessed something. He looked at Mo Daya and asked,
"Daya, are your family members not good to you?"
Xia Guyu's family was well-off. Both her parents worked in a newspaper. She was the youngest daughter in the family with two older brothers. Her parents and brothers treated her as a treasure. Even after she had a sister-in-law, the two got along like real sisters. She couldn't understand why there would be people in her family who didn't hope for the best for their daughter.
After hearing Xia Guyu's question, Mo Daya lowered her head with some sadness, hesitated for a moment, and finally told them her life story in front of them, including her family's attitude towards her and her situation at home.
She now regarded Xia Qingli and Xia Guyu as her good friends, so it was better for her to tell them herself rather than let them hear the false rumors about her from outsiders.
"What! You are your father's biological eldest daughter, why are you bullied by them like this!" Xia Guyu immediately became indignant after hearing this. Because she read a lot of novels and storybooks, she even thought that this was a conspiracy, so she asked Mo Daya:
"Daya, how old are you and your stepsister?"
Mo Daya was a little puzzled. She didn't know why she asked herself this, and answered truthfully:
"I was born in February and she was born in December. I am almost 10 months older than her."
"Only 10 months." Xia Guyu exclaimed. Now her guess has basically been confirmed.
Xia Qingying was also a little surprised. This was very different from what was written in the original book. In the original book, Mo Daya was almost two years older than Mo Zhenzhen, but now she was only 10 months older.
She and Xia Guyu looked at each other and quickly understood each other's guess. Their faces changed slightly.
Mo Daya was even more confused. She didn't know why her friends reacted so strongly when they heard that she was 10 months older than Mo Zhenzhen.
Looking at the puzzled Mo Daya, Xia Qingying told her her guess:
"Not long after your father and your mother got married, he returned to the army. But not long after, we received the news of his death. Later, your mother remarried with you. It was almost a year before your father came back to complete the divorce procedures with your mother. At that time, you should have been about two months old. Even if he and your mother completed the divorce procedures and immediately married your stepmother Zhu Wanru, and they got pregnant right away, according to the normal ten-month pregnancy, Mo Zhenzhen would be at least one year younger than you. Unless Mo Zhenzhen was born prematurely at seven or eight months, she couldn't be only 10 months younger than you."
Mo Daya listened carefully to Xia Qingying's analysis. When she digested all the information in it, her face changed instantly. She looked at Xia Qingying and asked:
"You mean to say that my dad was already together with Mo Zhenzhen's mom before he divorced my mom."
"Not only that..." Xia Guyu on the side said based on the novels and storybooks he had read:
"They may have known each other for a long time. The news of your dad's death may have been deliberately misreported, just to make your mom unable to bear it and remarry, so that he can divorce your mom legally and marry that Zhu Wanru." After hearing what
Xia Guyu said, Mo Daya was struck by lightning. She has always been simple and sincere. She has never thought that someone would be so sinister and calculating. It was a little hard for her to accept it for a while.
"Da Ya, what Gu Yu said is just a guess. The truth of the matter can only be known after verification." Xia Qingyu saw that Mo Daya was stunned, as if she had been hit hard, and her faith and trust had collapsed, so she couldn't help but comfort her.
Xia Qingyu felt that after all, this book was written by Mo Xiaoxiao, and she couldn't blatantly portray her mother as a mistress, and a child born in the seventh or eighth month of pregnancy could survive. For the sake of rigor, she felt that this matter still needed to be investigated before making a conclusion.
"Yes, this is all my guess, and it is possible that your step-sister was born prematurely." Xia Guyu realized how much impact his guess had on Daya, who was kind by nature, and hurriedly comforted Daya.
Mo Daya looked at the two friends around her. Although she didn't say anything, she actually had some guesses and doubts in her heart. At this time, she heard Qingli reminding herself:
"But no matter what the truth is, it is a fact that the Mo family treats you badly, so Daya, you still have to be more careful and don't trust them too much."
