The next morning, after Xie Jingyue finished breakfast, she prepared to take Xie Qingqing to school.
Since Xie Qingqing lacks courage, then let's present her with courage; whether she can accept it is up to her. She can be her lifelong protector, but what kind of person she wants to become in the future is her own choice.
Do you want to be a pitiful little thing protected under someone's wings, or do you want to grow into a towering tree that can shelter others?
When Xie Wan'er saw Xie Qingqing walking towards Xie Jingyue's car, she paused for a second, then tentatively walked over, peeked through the car window, and asked cautiously, "Auntie, may I get in?"
Looking at this child with a future-oriented perspective, it is indeed cruel. But right now, he is just a child, and his pitiful appearance is truly heartbreaking.
Over the years, her relationship with the original owner was actually quite good. After all, she was the only girl among the younger generation, so she naturally took good care of her. However, because of their bloodline, she became the one who was neglected.
In fact, among the Xie family, only Xie Lao Er's family cared about her. The other uncles and other relatives from other branches of the family only took care of her out of respect for the Xie family.
Now that the bloodline has been revealed and the child isn't from the Xie family, why should they still care? They're not that foolish as to raise someone else's child.
As for Xie Lao Er's willingness to be the sucker, that's his own problem.
Xie Jingyue looked at the child's cautious appearance, unmoved. "Your aunt used to be good to you because you were a good child. But now I feel that I may never have truly seen through you. If you understand what you did wrong, then reflect on it instead of constantly playing tricks."
She didn't expect the child to suddenly realize her mistakes; she only hoped that she could restrain herself and use those ulterior motives against outsiders. If she still couldn't change her nature, then she would have no choice but to take other measures.
"Your dad has prepared a car for you, so you can go to school by yourself. I'll take Qingqing to school." The implication is that you won't get in the car.
Xie Qingqing was in the back seat, and she had assumed the other person would agree to get in, so she moved to the side. But then she heard her aunt say those words, and for some reason, she felt inexplicably relaxed, like drinking an ice-cold drink on a hot day.
"Auntie, I understand." Xie Wan'er left dejectedly and returned to her car.
But instead of reflecting on her own actions, she looked at her palms, her hatred for Xie Qingqing deepening. If it weren't for her appearance, how could she have ended up in this situation?
My aunt used to love her the most, but now this country bumpkin has stolen her away!
It must have been something that this country bumpkin said that made my aunt dislike me. She absolutely had to kick him out, otherwise she'd never have a place in this family again!
On the other side.
Xie Jingyue didn't need navigation to know where the school was because the original owner of this body often took Xie Qingqing to school and was familiar with the route.
But on the way, she still had some things she wanted to tell him.
“Qingqing, you have to remember, there are some things you can't say, and others will never know what you're thinking. If you didn't do something, you didn't do it. Your silence will only make people think you're admitting it. If you don't even have the courage to tell the truth, why should others believe you? Are they supposed to guess the truth? If I hadn't made you explain yesterday, would you have become a bad kid wasting food?”
Silence only gives people the false impression that you can be bullied at will.
Xie Qingqing pursed her lips and said with some guilt, "Aunt, I'm sorry."
“Why are you apologizing to me? You're the one who should be apologizing. I know you've suffered a lot of injustices in the past, but I've told you before that if you have any grievances, you should tell your aunt, and your aunt will stand up for you. But you didn't say anything. Is your aunt some kind of superhero who knows everything?”
Xie Jingyue gripped the steering wheel while observing the route and giving instructions.
“You’re a member of the Xie family, so you should stand tall and be more confident. Xie Wan’er is the outsider. Even if your parents like her, she’s not a member of the Xie family. How can you, as the host, be afraid of a guest?”
Other counterfeiters, knowing they were fake, would tuck their tails between their legs, unlike Xie Wan'er, who remained as arrogant as a peacock, completely unafraid of being kicked out of her home. Although her confidence stemmed from Xie Lao Er, it was still far too much; she was incredibly arrogant.
There's a great analogy that can explain why people dislike fake heiresses.
If someone swaps your hundred-dollar bill for a counterfeit one, would you be angry or continue to love the counterfeit money?
It's truly baffling that someone could love the child of their enemy after their own child was switched at birth.
Xie Qingqing nervously clutched the hem of her dress. The gorgeous clothes she was wearing were a gift from the brand. The fabric felt incredibly comfortable, a feeling she had never experienced before. It was ethereal, as if she couldn't grasp it.
"My parents don't like me." No matter what, she's still a child. She used to long for her parents' love, but in the end, all she got was abuse.
People spend their lives chasing after what they can't have, and what they didn't get in childhood they crave even more as adults. People who lack love are most easily bought off by the smallest favors.
There's no doubt about that. Xie Jingyue can't do anything about it. Xie Lao Er and Xie Er Sao are completely obsessed; their prejudice against Xie Qingqing will probably never be corrected in this lifetime. What those in positions of power hate most is having their opinions changed. They will stubbornly persist until they regret it.
"Qingqing, what do you think of your aunt's life now?"
"I think my aunt is very happy!" Grandma likes her very much. She has a lot of money and speaks her mind boldly without being afraid of offending others.
"Do you know how your aunt got everything she has?"
Xie Qingqing asked curiously, "How did you get here?"
"I earned all of that myself." Xie Jingyue ignored the original owner's pampered childhood and focused on talking about the original owner's entrepreneurial journey.
“When I first started my business, no one believed in me, but I proved them wrong and made it on my own. Why? Because I’m smart, I’m bold, and I relied on myself. I don’t need anyone’s approval or pity; all I need is to get everything I want.”
"Qingqing, you'll understand later that life isn't about pursuing those illusory things. You'll understand that some things don't really matter even if you don't have them. You need to have a greater ideal."
Isn't building a career more appealing? With money, what can't you have?
