Xie Jingyue performed exceptionally well, displaying strength and assertiveness, though she could be quite playful at times. But never before had she acted like a helpless little rabbit, completely at the mercy of others.
Perhaps it's because she's sick that she's so vulnerable in front of someone she trusts; anyway, she just feels wronged. She didn't get to eat what she wanted because this bad person wouldn't let her, and that's why she feels wronged.
Ye Jun chuckled. Her appearance made him feel a little itchy, and he really wanted to pat her head or pull her into his arms.
However, he restrained his desires and politely tucked the blanket around him, saying, "Sleep well, and when you get better, I'll buy you whatever you want to eat."
As Xie Jingyue experienced the side effects of the medication, she gradually felt tired. Her eyelids opened and closed, eventually slowly closing, leaving only her peaceful sleeping face.
The room was quiet, so quiet that only her soft breathing could be heard. It was the first time he had ever stepped into a woman's room, and it was very different from what he had imagined, or rather, completely different from a man's room.
His room was rather simple, with many empty spaces, which made the whole house seem rather impersonal.
But her room was different. Some small corners were filled with trinkets. Although there were many things, they were arranged neatly and did not make the room feel messy.
A faint, sweet fragrance wafted in the air, and Ye Jun couldn't help but recall their first meeting.
It's very common for younger family members to start their own businesses. Most families will set aside some funds to support these younger members as they venture out into the world.
Although they were prepared to lose all the money they gave.
But Ye Jun was different; he simply wanted to build his own career.
He wasn't the eldest son in his family, so he wasn't the heir to the Ye family. His older brother had been working at the company for several years and had gathered a lot of information. Therefore, he couldn't compete for anything; everyone's resources are limited.
Since his older brother is developing his career at home, he will go out and develop his career elsewhere.
The collaboration with Xie Jingyue was truly a coincidence. Both were people who strived for their careers and naturally valued every collaboration. Thus, both of them went to the appointment with sincerity, aiming for a win-win outcome.
The moment he saw her, it's no exaggeration to say that he had already decided what the child would be named.
He used to scoff at the idea of love at first sight, but now that it's happened to him, he realizes how much he had been faking it.
Fortunately, she didn't reject his approach, and their interactions increased, gradually developing into what they are now.
His life seems to have been too smooth.
Xie Jingyue's illness didn't improve until after her period ended. Her immunity was low during those days, so a slower recovery was understandable. However, she was having trouble controlling her temper when dealing with things; it was all due to hormones, not because she had a bad temper.
After learning that Xie Qingqing had placed in the top ten, she asked her assistant to buy a popular toy and send it to her. After all, she was just a child, so she should buy her something that children like.
The Xie family.
Xie Wan'er stared intently at the new doll in Xie Qingqing's hand, a surge of anger burning in her chest, making it hard for her to breathe.
"I'll have a doll now!" Xie Qingqing hugged the doll with a silly grin. She no longer had to envy other people's children's Barbie dolls.
She happened to be learning Suzhou embroidery from her grandmother, so she can learn to make clothes for the dolls later.
Because Xie Qingqing's grades have improved so quickly, even Madam Xie, who usually doesn't treat her well, has become much nicer these past few days.
Xie Wan'er still wanted to follow suit and smear the other party, intending to expose Xie Qingqing's cheating and condemn her to the pillory of shame.
But the other party's question, "Do you have any evidence?" shut down all her accusations.
What upset her even more was Madam Xie's accusations.
“Your sister has improved so much in rankings, how come you have fallen behind? Have you been getting too cocky these days? I took you out to relax, not to let you waste your time on frivolous things.”
Xie Qingqing noticed that her expression was calm, seemingly devoid of any emotion, yet she sensed a hint of mockery.
This triggered her.
While going down the stairs, she rushed ahead of Xie Wan'er and tumbled down the stairs.
"Ah! Sister, why did you push me?"
She finished speaking quickly and then rolled down to the first floor. The excruciating pain made her doubt the television; would doing this really make everyone feel sorry for her?
"Wan'er! Wan'er, how are you?" Madam Xie was shocked; she had witnessed Wan'er tumbling down the stairs.
Despite the pain, Xie Wan'er created a pitiful image for herself, sniffing and letting large tears fall down her face.
"My sister just pushed me, and I lost my balance and tumbled down. Mom, why did my sister push me? Mom, it hurts so much!" She clung tightly to Madam Xie's clothes; she couldn't bear to be rejected, so she had to resort to this self-inflicted pain.
"Xie Qingqing, how wicked you are!"
Madam Xie glared fiercely at Xie Qingqing in the stairwell, then squatted down, picked up Xie Wan'er from the ground, and hurried out to the hospital.
Xie Qingqing didn't even have time to argue; she could only watch helplessly as they left.
There were still quite a few servants downstairs, and they were looking at her with strange eyes, as if she were a villain.
No, that's not how it is. She didn't do anything. Xie Wan'er rolled down on her own.
But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't say the words; it felt like someone was choking me.
It all happened so suddenly. She was terrified by Xie Wan'er rolling down the slope, seeing so much blood on the other woman. Her mind went completely blank. Right now, she was like a mute.
Why did this happen? Why did Xie Wan'er do this?
She quickly realized that this was a setup to frame her, to make her bear the blame for someone else's crime. If this happened, she would be despised and hated by everyone, and might even be branded as a murderer.
No, we can't do that.
Xie Qingqing seemed to suddenly realize something and ran upstairs. She returned to her room, locked the door, and shakily turned on her smartwatch, dialing the only number inside.
Xie Jingyue was in a meeting when her phone screen suddenly lit up. She wanted to hang up, but seeing the name on the screen, she answered the call anyway.
She raised her hand, signaling everyone to continue, while she went outside to answer a phone call.
"Hello? Qingqing, what's up?"
"Auntie, can you come home? I'm so scared, I'm so afraid, Auntie, please."
Her voice sounded off.
What just happened?
"Okay, I'm going home now. You wait for me at home."
"Um!"
