Following Xie Qingqing's life trajectory, she will gradually perish under Xie Wan'er's oppression. Because everyone in her family loves the fake heiress, no one listens to her, and no one cares about her.
Under Xie Wan'er's manipulation, she gradually ruined her life, and after graduating from high school, she committed suicide. No one in the world cared about her; her life had no meaning, so she decided to start over.
Xie Jingyue felt sorry for the little girl, but her current status was only that of the girl's aunt, and it seemed unlikely that the girl would be adopted into her name. Xie's father was very concerned about his reputation; if others found out that he wasn't raising his own child and was leaving her to be raised by his unmarried younger sister, he would be drowned in gossip.
"Qingqing, come to your aunt." She beckoned, and the little girl came over, greeting her softly.
Hello, Auntie.
"This is a gift from your aunt. How about I bring you a present and toys next time I come back? What do you like? Barbie dolls or a dream castle?"
Xie Qingqing was somewhat flattered as she accepted the jade bracelet offered by the other party. To be honest, she hadn't had many toys in recent years, and she didn't know what toys were available outside, so she could only say, "I like whatever my aunt gives me."
"I remember that little dolls are popular among young girls these days, right? I happen to have one at home, I'll bring it over to you later."
"Auntie, didn't you say it was a gift for me?" Xie Wan'er looked at her with a resentful gaze, her eyes brimming with tears, as if she could burst into tears at any moment.
Xie Jingyue raised an eyebrow. This child still didn't understand the situation. "What do you, an outsider, want? I'm already being lenient by not asking you to return my old things. Second brother, keep an eye on that brat. If she piss me off, none of us will have a good time!"
She had the right to be willful; when the old lady returned, she could easily complain, and that little girl would be in for a world of hurt. But the girl was still young, and she didn't have the time or inclination to do such a thing; at most, she'd just hurl insults. There was no way around it; that little girl looked wicked, her eyes darting around, hiding countless schemes.
She used to be well-behaved, but that was all an act. Everyone was just being considerate of their own child and thought it was harmless, so they didn't take it to heart. Now it's different. After all, there's a blood relation between them, and her actions will eventually be magnified.
"Little sister, she's still a child!" Madam Xie looked at her with some displeasure.
I didn't like my sister-in-law much before, and now I like her even less. She's so willful! They chose to keep the child; what business is it of hers? She's meddling in other people's affairs!
"Second sister-in-law, glaring at me won't do any good. I won't give my things to bastards. Especially since she's the child of a human trafficker. Who knows if that kind of gene will be passed down? If she follows in her mother's footsteps, our children will be doomed."
This was a devastating blow to Fifth Sister-in-law, who had just given birth. She now cherishes her child like the apple of her eye; she would fight anyone who dared to mistreat her child. But for someone to abduct her child was an unforgivable crime.
"Yes, my little sister is right, second sister-in-law, you should send the child to the orphanage. You have children of your own, why are you so fixated on someone else's child?"
Uncle Xie coughed, signaling her to stop talking.
Madam Xie's eyes immediately reddened. "My Wan'er has been frail since she was a child. You all said you liked her before, so how come you've become like this over such a small matter?"
Such a small thing?
Is this a small matter for your daughter?
The light in Xie Qingqing's eyes dimmed. She could hardly believe that the mother she had longed for didn't actually want her back. It all seemed like a mistake, but where could she go if she left?
"Mom, what about me?" she asked, still holding a sliver of hope.
Madam Xie turned her head away somewhat awkwardly. "Of course you're my child too, but I hope you two sisters will behave well. Wan'er isn't in good health; if she goes to the orphanage, who knows how she'll be bullied. As the older sister, can't you be more tolerant of your younger sister?"
But she doesn't want to be the older sister, so why give her that title?
Xie Qingqing lowered her eyes and couldn't speak. She was afraid that if she looked up, her tears would fall.
"Mom, if my sister doesn't like me, I'll just leave. But Mom, you have to take good care of yourself, and I'll take good care of myself too. Mom, I can't bear to leave you." Xie Wan'er started acting in front of everyone, tears falling instantly without a trace of acting.
Madam Xie was even more distressed. She hugged her child tightly and murmured, "No one can let my Wan'er leave. Wan'er is my child. You are not allowed to talk about this again."
How could she not have feelings for a child she had raised for so many years? Besides, the child who came back from outside was inferior to Wan'er in every way. How could the child born to a noblewoman be so incompetent?
"They're hopeless." Xie Jingyue shook her head helplessly; these people were truly beyond saving.
However, Xie Qingqing's brother hasn't shown up yet. He said he went to participate in a competition, so he didn't attend the family dinner. But it doesn't seem any different. How could their family be two different people? He's a doting brother, but he's only doting on his fake sister.
"Qingqing, come visit your aunt's house whenever you have time. There are lots of fun things to do there. Your dad is such an old-fashioned person, he doesn't know anything, all he cares about is saving face. What's his face worth? Your aunt likes you a lot. I'll give you a phone watch later, so you can contact me if you need anything, okay?"
Xie Qingqing glanced at her parents' expressions, only to find that they were looking at Xie Wan'er with heartache, not even glancing at her.
"Thank you, Auntie." Thankfully, she wasn't completely destitute; there were still people who cared about her.
Xie Jingyue is currently in the rising phase of her career, so she doesn't have much time left. It's unlikely she can spend as much time with her child as she did in the previous world. So after finishing her meal, she grabbed her bag and left the old house.
She entrusted the matter of the phone watch to her assistant, thinking that Mr. and Mrs. Xie would not keep the child's watch for themselves.
Xie Wan'er stared venomously at Xie Jingyue's retreating figure, unable to understand why her aunt, who had always doted on her, now loathed her so much. Was blood relation really that important?
She won't leave the Xie family; only a fool would go to an orphanage. As for Xie Qingqing, she's just a fool, a pitiful little thing nobody cares about.
