Xie Qingqing recounted the entire incident, wiping away tears as she spoke, looking utterly pitiful.
During this period, she barely rested. After school, she would do her homework, and after finishing her homework, she would continue attending online classes. In addition, her aunt hired a tutor, so her schedule was almost entirely filled with classes.
That's why she felt sleepy in class. Her tutor couldn't stand it anymore, so she was allowed to rest for twenty minutes.
But Xie Wan'er barged in and started accusing her without any explanation, claiming it was for her own good. After being kicked out, she made those ambiguous remarks to Madam Xie, which led to the current situation.
"Grandma, I'm sorry, I was so sleepy that I fell asleep. But I was really sleepy, I just wanted to sleep for a while and then continue studying when I woke up, not waste time." Xie Qingqing apologized, sobbing. She knew the old lady was good to her, so she explained.
My aunt said that if I need anything, I can ask my grandmother, but my grandmother is old and I don't really want to trouble her. Given the current situation, if I don't say anything, it would be a huge disappointment to my grandmother's good intentions.
The old lady nodded knowingly, then looked at the broken tablet on the ground. It was obvious who had done it. Her second daughter-in-law usually seemed composed, but she was actually a bit extreme and couldn't tolerate even the slightest imperfection.
Looking at Xie Wan'er, who seemed a little uneasy, her guilty expression was impossible to hide. Her petty nature was exactly the same as her non-blood-related mother's. So young and already knowing how to pull these tricks; truly, like mother, like daughter.
"Did you hear that? The child isn't slacking off, why are you all so agitated? Her aunt has already arranged her classes, what are you all worrying about? Are you all so idle?"
Mrs. Xie still felt she was right, and she was still angry. "Mom, listen to what this child just said! She said she doesn't want to stay in the Xie family anymore, she doesn't want me as her mother anymore! We feed and care for her, and this is how she treats us? Tell me, shouldn't we discipline her?"
"Is that the child's problem? Isn't it your problem? Look for the reasons within yourself, don't blame everything on the child." The old lady rolled her eyes, not tolerating her at all. "If you really don't like this child, just give him/her to one of the other families. At least they'll be willing to take him/her in."
The Xie family isn't short of money to raise a child; their life after the child was adopted might have been better than it is now.
"Mom! What are you saying? If word gets out, what will people say about us?" Madam Xie was definitely not willing. Whether she liked him or not, he was her child. Who would give their child away for no reason?
When others find out, they'll say they can't afford to live anymore.
"Then stop giving me nonsense. She is the eldest daughter of the Xie family. If you can't treat her with respect, at least treat her equally!"
After admonishing Madam Xie, the old lady continued to admonish Xie Wan'er, "I know you have many grievances about Qingqing's appearance. But you must remember, she is the eldest daughter of the Xie family. You are able to stay because of so many years of affection. The day when that affection is exhausted will be the day you leave."
The second son's family has gone mad, but she's too old to care.
Ultimately, it's because he doesn't really value this granddaughter that much. He only pays extra attention to her because his youngest daughter likes her.
Madam Xie felt a tightness in her chest. She wondered why the child insisted on coming back.
Xie Wan'er was somewhat panicked, afraid that the old lady would really kick her out in a fit of anger.
To be honest, the mother and daughter are really alike, and they are growing to hate Xie Qingqing more and more.
“This tutor, just study as you normally would. Qingqing is your student, and they are not your employers. So if they come to cause trouble again, just kick them out,” the old lady reassured Chen Xiaojuan.
I knew before I came that there were many twists and turns in the wealthy area, and now I've seen it for myself.
Moreover, her tutoring fees were all paid in advance. With so many zeros, how many jobs would she have to work to earn that much? She's definitely rich; she's so generous.
"I understand. Qingqing wasn't feeling well at the time, and I was worried she wouldn't be able to concentrate on her studies, so I allowed her to rest for twenty minutes," Chen Xiaojuan explained at the end.
It's infuriating for anyone to have their child unfairly blamed.
"Alright, everyone get out. Don't just enter other people's rooms like that in the future. Don't you even know to ask the owner's permission before coming in?"
Before leaving, the old lady gave a disapproving remark.
This house is a complete mess. If she were younger, she would have already lost her temper by now.
Xie Jingyue hadn't expected Xie Qingqing to finally explode like that. So sometimes, it's easy to tell whether a person has confidence or not.
If she continues to wait for the other party to seek her protection, Xie Qingqing will likely remain stubbornly silent, as if saying, "Even if I told you, you wouldn't believe me." Giving her some encouragement is a pretty good approach.
"What's so funny?" Ye Jun, with his hands on the steering wheel, turned his head and saw her smiling face.
Xie Jingyue zoomed in on the picture on her phone and showed it to him. "Isn't this cat cute?"
"Cute!" Just as cute as you.
"I'm planning to get a cat, but I might not have time, so I'm thinking of having my niece take care of it. Will you come with me to the pet store later so I can see which cat would be more suitable?"
Tabby cats are the first option to be ruled out, because they have a higher probability of abandoning their owners, and you wouldn't know where to turn if your cat got lost. The top choice is a Ragdoll.
The plush toys are good-looking, have a gentle temperament, and are quite clingy.
It's often said that keeping a pet is a good option for people with depression, and it would be a good option for Xie Qingqing, who has depressive tendencies.
Owning a dog is too energy-consuming, as you have to take it out for walks regularly. But cats are purely for companionship. They don't need to be walked; all you need to do is scoop the litter box, feed them, and play with them—all things you can do at home.
Upon entering, you see pets kept in cages. In the spacious cages, the cats and dogs curiously watch the guests coming and going. They hope that one day someone will rescue them from their cages and take them home.
Xie Jingyue had a clear goal and went straight to the cat section, where she immediately spotted the cage containing the Ragdoll cat.
