What did you mean by what you said earlier?
After class, Zhang Yan couldn't help but ask.
I've always seen Xie Wan'er bully Xie Qingqing, and I've never seen her fight back. How come in Xie Wan'er's words, I'm the victim and Xie Qingqing is the perpetrator?
From an outsider's perspective, it's really hard to see how Xie Qingqing bullied her.
Xie Qingqing pursed her lips, feeling suffocated and wanting to vent her emotions. Since someone asked, she went along with it and told them.
"Xie Wan'er is not a daughter of the Xie family, I am. I did not take away her parents, because they were originally my parents." As for why she didn't say that Xie Wan'er's mother was a human trafficker, it was because her kind heart prevented her from saying it.
After all, Xie Wan'er didn't do this voluntarily; she was also a victim, only this victim benefited the most and was never satisfied.
"I see." Zhang Yan nodded knowingly, seemingly calm, but actually not so calm.
My understanding of Xie Wan'er feels more comprehensive now.
I used to think this girl was pretentious and not easy to get along with, and I disliked her from the bottom of my heart. Now it seems that these feelings didn't just appear out of thin air.
Sure enough, her first instinct was quite strong.
Xie Wan'er dared not act rashly, fearing that if she did anything else, Xie Qingqing would say even more things detrimental to her. She couldn't afford to lose the prestige of being a young lady of the Xie family!
On the other side, Xie Jingyue saw this on the surveillance footage and nodded in satisfaction.
If possible, she hoped Xie Qingqing would become strong on her own, rather than living in her comfort zone under her protection. She couldn't clean up Xie Qingqing's messes for the rest of her life, nor could she treat Xie Qingqing as her responsibility until she was old.
"What are you looking at? Why are you laughing so happily?"
Ye Jun walked over and placed a stack of documents on the desk.
Xie Jingyue raised an eyebrow. "President Ye doesn't seem to be very busy. You have to personally handle such a small matter?"
"I just got two tickets to a play, and I was thinking of asking Mr. Xie if he had time to go see it together?"
"Since Mr. Ye has been so kind in inviting me, I certainly can't be disappointed. Please wait a moment."
"good."
Xie Jingyue returned to her office, went to her lounge, and changed into more casual clothes. She left her formal attire aside, saying someone would come and take it to be cleaned later.
She sat down in the chair, took out a makeup mirror, and then took out her lipstick.
As soon as she opened her mouth, she was momentarily stunned when she saw herself in the small mirror.
It was a very young face, completely different from her own, and quite flamboyant. For a moment, she couldn't even remember what she used to look like.
How many years did she and her late husband have together? It seems like it started when she first fell in love, from their school days, and through all the ups and downs, they finally got married.
Many people were skeptical of their relationship, believing that after leaving school, they would encounter better people and change their minds. However, in the end, they all looked at them with admiration and offered their blessings.
Xiao Bao was the fruit of their love. They had eagerly awaited the child's birth, but in the end, he became a cold, lifeless box. Her pain remained unknown and uncomfortable.
He left too soon, everything happened too suddenly, and she had no chance to react. The last thing she saw was a white sheet; she didn't have the courage to lift it, she couldn't bear to look at his face.
It seems like this is how you can deceive yourself into thinking he's still alive?
Tears suddenly streamed down Xie Jingyue's face. She snapped out of her daze, took out a tissue, and wiped away the tears. Looking at herself in the mirror, she saw nothing wrong, then touched up her lipstick and went out.
She didn't know what connection Zhao Weiguo and Ye Jun had, nor did she know why they looked exactly like her deceased husband. All she knew was that she had accepted the system's mission, and all she had to do was look forward.
Let's just pretend we don't know anything. She just needs to enjoy life.
"Alright, let's go."
Ye Jun naturally took her bag and walked alongside her.
...
For several days in a row, Xie Qingqing had a very good time; she felt her life was very peaceful. No one would bully her or lay a hand on her.
She likes this kind of life; a quiet life is what she needs most.
However, this peace was shattered by the monthly exam.
"Wan'er got in the top three, and you got in the bottom ten? Did you even study properly? I sent you to school, and you just went there to play?" Madam Xie looked at the report card with a very unpleasant expression.
Everyone in the circle knows that the head of the Xie family is a hapless fellow. His own child was stolen by human traffickers, and he ended up raising someone else's child. He treats that imposter like a treasure.
But what does this have to do with Wan'er? Wan'er is innocent too.
As for her biological daughter, she really didn't want to take her out. If others found out that her daughter had failed her exam, she would be laughed at to death.
Xie Qingqing felt a little guilty. She lowered her head and apologized softly, "Mom, I'm sorry."
"Don't call me Mom. I'm not your mom. I don't have a stupid daughter like you!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Qingqing immediately looked up, somewhat flustered, and said, "I... I just haven't fully learned it yet. I will study hard; I've improved a lot since then."
"Improved compared to before? You mean you used to be last? Are you proud of that?" Madam Xie was even angrier.
I didn't like it to begin with, and now I like it even less.
Why isn't Xie Wan'er her biological daughter?
She just wanted to hear the human trafficker say that all the confessions were false and that Xie Wan'er was her biological daughter!
However, paternity tests cannot be faked.
Xie Qingqing is her biological daughter.
"Mom, don't be angry, don't be angry. It's normal for my sister to be having trouble adjusting to the school environment since she hasn't been back for long. By the way, sister, didn't I give you a workbook before? Didn't you practice it properly? If you had practiced properly, you would definitely have gotten better grades."
“I knew it! My Wan’er is such a good girl, how could she possibly make a mistake? She didn’t even complain about you coming back from the countryside, and she personally taught you to study. Why didn’t you listen to her properly?”
Xie Qingqing was speechless. How was she supposed to learn that? How was she supposed to learn those knowledge points that weren't even relevant to her grade level?
"That's not how it is, what Wan'er gave me was..."
"Sister, you don't need to make excuses anymore. I often see you playing with others after class, and I've tried to find you several times, but you ignore me. But you have to study hard at school, Mom, don't you think?"
