Xie Qingqing did not want to accept Xie Wan'er's apology.
Because she has been targeted ever since she returned a month ago, and today was just one of the times.
But can she say it?
After she spoke out, everyone thought she was petty. To adults, it was just children playing around; they didn't care about the child's feelings, as long as the matter was resolved.
Xie Jingyue didn't speak up for her, but silently watched her, hoping she would express her thoughts. Compromise might gain everyone's approval, but if it hurt her own feelings, it wasn't worth it.
"Xie Wan'er, I forgive you, but I hope you won't do this kind of thing again." Xie Qingqing was ultimately kind-hearted, and she also hoped that life could be peaceful from now on.
Whether this person is in the Xie family or not is irrelevant to her. Although she occasionally longs for her parents' affection, she doesn't necessarily need it.
Anyway, she has her aunt, and her aunt genuinely cares about her.
But for Xie Wan'er, this was a disgrace.
Being forgiven by a country bumpkin, what is this if not a disgrace?
At the same time, she also harbored resentment towards Xie Jingyue. If it weren't for her aunt's meddling, Xie Qingqing wouldn't have had a chance to explain herself, and she wouldn't have become a laughingstock in the eyes of so many people.
My aunt is a bad person!
The meal started off a bit awkwardly, but once the conversation was brought up, the atmosphere became lively again. The playful banter between the two children was just a minor incident.
After dinner, everyone returned to their rooms to rest.
The Xie family's house is large, covering a wide area, so it has many rooms. When everyone in the Xie family returns, they all have their own rooms to stay in.
Xie Wan'er thought that having just received that word of forgiveness, her room was safe. But then, the next second, she heard...
"Xie Wan'er, pack your things yourself." Xie Jingyue watched her from a distance.
Xie Wan'er's tears fell uncontrollably. Why? She had already apologized, so why did she still have to give up her room?
The poor little thing's appearance broke Madam Xie's heart.
“Little sister, Wan’er has been living in that room for so long, she won’t be used to moving out. Besides, Xie Qingqing isn’t a delicate person, and the room I arranged for her is big enough.”
Compared to an average person's room, that room was indeed quite nice.
"Second sister-in-law, do you want to think back? Qingqing is your child, and that room was originally prepared for Qingqing."
Xie Wan'er was essentially treated as a biological daughter, which is why she had a luxurious room. But if her status had been different, if she had been treated as someone else's daughter, would she still have this room?
“If Qingqing doesn’t want to fight for it, that’s her own business. But as her aunt, since I said I would protect her, I will fight for her everything I can. Second brother, I can understand that you and your husband can’t treat each other equally, but please remember that your child has been tormented by her mother for ten years.”
The person being implicated, Xie Wan'er, had a mixture of fear and resentment in their eyes. She knew nothing about her mother's actions, so why was she being dragged into it? She didn't know who her mother was, nor had she conspired with anyone.
But as an outsider, it's wrong for her to bully someone else's child.
Mrs. Xie was in a bad mood. The child she had given birth to with great difficulty had been abused for ten years. Just thinking about it made her feel terrible.
But she really couldn't like Xie Qingqing. In her heart, her daughter shouldn't be like that—timid, indecisive, and unsophisticated.
It's just that she's unwilling to accept the fact that she lost her child, and unwilling to admit that she did something wrong, so she sees the child as a disgrace.
Xie Jingyue scoffed and pulled Xie Qingqing upstairs. "My Xie family's children will never be bullied. Second brother, if you can't understand this, then you shouldn't be sitting in this CEO position."
"Xie Jingyue, is this how you talk to me?" Xie Lao Er was so angry that his nostrils flared. Was it any of hers to question whether he was fit to sit in this position?
However, there are some things he really can't go too far with. What kind of behavior is it to let his adopted daughter bully his own daughter?
"Auntie, maybe we should call it quits, Dad's angry." Xie Qingqing said anxiously.
If she herself caused the strained relationship between her aunt and father, then she would be the culprit.
"While I'm fighting for what's rightfully yours, I also hope you won't hold me back. And what's rightfully yours will always be yours, and no one can take it away from you. If you give things away so easily, don't ask me to help you get them back later, because I can't bear the shame."
"Xie Qingqing, the children of the Xie family cannot be weak. If I were you, I would never compromise no matter what. Even if I am disliked by others, I would defend my territory. It's okay if you don't understand now, you will understand in the future."
Xie Jingyue is afraid of this second brother? He won't get past the old lady's hurdle.
Besides, as the only girl in the family since she was a child, when has she ever not been lawless? She used to fight with them all the time, even though they were punished severely afterwards.
Now that everyone has their own families, they've developed their own agendas, and the brotherhood isn't as pure as it used to be.
Xie Wan'er's room was eventually given up, and the large and small bags of belongings that had been unpacked were enough to make anyone envious. Many of the items were gifts from others, not only expensive but also numerous.
The Xie family's daughter deserves this kind of treatment.
Unfortunately, she wasn't a child of the Xie family; she was the cunning and ruthless fox in the story of the fox replacing the prince.
Xie Wan'er stood in the corridor, silently watching everything until all her belongings were moved into Xie Qingqing's former room. Then she turned around and threw herself into Xie Jingchen's arms.
"Brother, waaaaah..."
Xie Jingchen instinctively comforted her, reaching out to pat her back.
"Don't be afraid, your brother is here. Your brother will stay with you."
Looking up, I saw the disappointed look in my younger sister's eyes.
Then there was Xie Jingyue's amused expression again.
In an instant, he felt like his scalp was about to explode.
What kind of situation is this?
Perhaps to make amends to Xie Wan'er, Madam Xie tidied up a bit that night and came to sleep with her. Just like countless nights before, she patted Xie Wan'er's back and watched her peacefully fall asleep.
As for Xie Qingqing, she lay on the big bed, suffering from insomnia.
