"Xie Qingqing! Your aunt hired a tutor for you, and this is how you repay her good intentions?" Madam Xie appeared at the top of the stairs, her eyes cold and disdainful.
"You really are hopeless, a hopeless case. Luckily, I didn't send Wan'er away back then, or I would be regretting it now!"
"Mom, I didn't," Xie Qingqing hurriedly explained. "The teacher told me to take a nap, but I was too tired, so..."
"How tiring was elementary school for you? It was just a few subjects. Do you think I'm stupid? Easy to fool?"
Elementary school is just Chinese, math, and English, what else could it be? Physics, chemistry, history, etc., only come in middle school. Isn't elementary school a time to enjoy life?
If elementary school is already tiring, then you might as well skip middle school altogether.
Xie Wan'er chimed in, "Mom, my sister is probably just too tired. After all, Auntie gave her a tablet. I know kids this age like to play games, but I wonder if she's secretly playing them under the covers at night. Of course, I know she's definitely not that kind of person."
That's how stereotypes work.
Children go astray when they have electronic devices; games are the culprits.
"I didn't! You're lying! I haven't played any games. I've been studying these past few days and haven't played any games at all," Xie Qingqing retorted loudly.
She hadn't played mobile games much before, but she knew how addictive they could be. Plus, she didn't want to disappoint her aunt, so she never touched a game.
Studying is the most important thing for her right now.
But when faced with Madam Xie's disappointed expression, she couldn't help but feel sad. Why couldn't she believe her?
"Sister, don't get excited. Even though you're a bit slow, you still have to try your best. What will you do if you fail the next monthly exam?" Xie Wan'er said with her back to Madam Xie, her face full of schadenfreude.
It's a wonder this idiot passed the exam. He looks as stupid as a pig. Even if you hire a tutor, what good will it do? With his behavior of sleeping in class, how much can he possibly learn?
Madam Xie originally came to check on the learning progress, but when she saw the current situation, she wondered if this was really her biological daughter who had inherited her genes.
With Xie Wan'er adding fuel to the fire, his anger burned even more fiercely.
So she simply strode into the room, found the brand-new tablet that had hardly ever been used, and smashed it on the floor.
What happened?
Chen Xiaojuan stared blankly at everything. That tablet looked pretty expensive, didn't it? And it just got smashed like that?
"Teacher, I don't think my child needs a tutor. She's too tired and doesn't have time to study. So, to avoid taking up your time, please don't come next time."
It's one thing to wallow in self-pity, but to betray someone's kindness is another.
Instead of letting things continue like this, it would be better to eliminate everything at the source, so that no one will come to laugh at us.
“Well… the child’s opinion is more important, I can’t just listen to you.” Chen Xiaojuan tried her best to remain calm.
This is, after all, a wealthy area, and she really hasn't had much contact with it.
But Ms. Xie offered too much money, and she didn't want to give up this opportunity to make money.
"Xiao Xie, are you really not going to have any tutors anymore?"
Xie Qingqing quickly shook her head, "I want it! Teacher, there are many things I don't understand. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know what to do."
Then she looked at Mrs. Xie and said, "I was tired from studying, and my teacher allowed me to rest for twenty minutes. She entered my room without my permission and disturbed my studies. Mom, I hope you can discipline your daughter and prevent her from entering other people's rooms without permission!"
The words "My room" immediately broke Xie Wan'er's defenses.
That was clearly her room! It's all that shameless country bumpkin's fault for taking it; otherwise, she wouldn't have been moved to that cramped room.
Madam Xie was also somewhat shocked as she looked at her daughter. When did she gain such confidence to speak to her like this?
"You don't pay attention in class, and you still have the nerve to complain?"
Xie Qingqing bit her lower lip hard, trying to hold back her tears. She had longed for her father and mother's love. But at the moment the tablet shattered, she suddenly understood.
Perhaps she was never meant to have parents, perhaps she was never meant to receive that expectation, and all those hopes she had before have now vanished.
“My achievements will naturally be verified by my aunt. You are my mother, but you are not a good mother. You are just a wicked person who treats people differently based on their status. You are just like Xie Wan'er's mother, you stole my life and then blame me for appearing!”
Without Madam Xie's indulgence, Xie Wan'er would never have dared to do such a thing.
Xie Qingqing finally understood. Perhaps she was destined to be a lone wolf, which was why people disliked her so much. No, that wasn't it. She still had her aunt, and her aunt liked her.
"What nonsense are you spouting? You're comparing me to that person? I'm your own mother, how can you say that to me?" Madam Xie looked disgusted when she thought about comparing herself to that human trafficker.
"You still know you're my biological mother? Anyone who didn't would think you're my enemy! It was your negligence that made me suffer for ten years. You don't care about me, and you even blame me for coming back. If you had known it would end like this, why didn't you abort me sooner?"
"You!" Madam Xie couldn't refute it. Being talked back to was a very unpleasant feeling, and she simply couldn't accept her own mistake.
"That's just bad luck! Don't blame me!"
A truly explosive statement.
Chen Xiaojuan was stunned by what she saw.
Can a rich family's child be considered unlucky? Then what would be considered lucky?
Xie Wan'er didn't dare to speak just now, for fear that if she did, her human trafficker mother would be dragged out and whipped.
Xie Qingqing closed her eyes in anguish. She was wrong; she thought that returning home would give her what she wanted. But the torment of the past two months had made her realize that her family was actually incredibly cold-blooded.
"If I had a choice, I wouldn't want to be your daughter at all. I'd rather be an ordinary child than your child!"
Children from ordinary families are picked up and dropped off by their parents, who scold them while buying them snacks, and gently hug them when they cry.
Instead of being like Mrs. Xie, who showed no warmth but only disgust towards the child she had just brought home.
"You are a failed mother!"
Having stood on high ground for so long, Madam Xie couldn't stand being lectured, let alone by a child. She was so angry her face turned red, and her eyes were fixed on Xie Qingqing.
