Xie Wan'er was not in good condition; she had multiple injuries, including a broken right hand and numerous bruises on her thigh. Fortunately, the stairs weren't very high, so the fall wasn't too severe.
Madam Xie held her and wept bitterly, berating Xie Qingqing for her heartlessness in pushing her own sister down the stairs. How could such a wicked person be her child?
"Mom, maybe it's because I upset my sister that she treated me like this. Mom, it hurts so much." Xie Wan'er nestled in her mother's arms, looking aggrieved from the pain.
She would do anything to get Xie Qingqing out.
Isn't that how it's always portrayed on TV?
When Xie's father learned about this, he rushed to the hospital and felt heartbroken to see Xie Wan'er wrapped in so many bandages.
"Wan'er, are you alright?"
"Daddy, it hurts so much," she said sweetly.
"That wretched girl! I thought she was just ignorant of manners since she came back from the countryside, but I never expected her to have such a vicious mind! I'll teach her a lesson when I get back. Wan'er, you take good care of your injuries!"
Xie Wan'er didn't plan to be hospitalized; she had a family doctor, and she wanted to go home. More importantly, she wanted to see Xie Qingqing punished.
She would be restless and unable to eat or sleep if she didn't see the other person punished.
Unable to refuse Xie Wan'er's request, Madam Xie had no choice but to take her home.
On the way home, Xie's father and wife felt sorry for Xie Wan'er for suffering so much, and scolded Xie Qingqing for her viciousness and daring to do such a despicable thing.
"Mom, am I really annoying? My sister has never liked me, and she pushed me today. What if she hits me again next time?" Xie Wan'er continued to add fuel to the fire.
"She dares!"
Mrs. Xie stared wide-eyed, her anger rising as she thought about all the trouble Xie Qingqing had caused lately. Life used to be so harmonious; the family was happy and peaceful. Ever since that child came back, things had been anything but peaceful at home.
"Honey, do you think that child is bringing bad luck to us? Maybe we should send her somewhere else. We have other houses besides the old one."
The Xie family owns many properties, but their branch only lives in the old house. The old house has good feng shui, occupies a large area, and has been the residence of the head of the family for generations.
But that doesn't mean they don't have other houses.
Mr. Xie's face was grave as he considered the feasibility of this matter.
"Since she and Wan'er don't get along, let's send her to live somewhere else. If the two children don't live together, we won't have to worry about Wan'er being bullied."
If an outsider heard this, they would probably burst out laughing.
Are you afraid your child will bully a child trafficker?
How ridiculous!
Xie Wan'er, like a cat that had stolen some fish, secretly laughed without restraint.
Xie Qingqing, that idiot, thinks she can compete with her? Give up, she's just a brainless idiot.
But at that moment, they were unaware that a storm was brewing in the Xie family's old mansion, and they were still pondering how to punish a child.
"Xie Qingqing, come out quickly!"
As soon as Xie's father entered the door, he shouted, "Do I have to go and invite you again?"
Turning around, they saw three people sitting quietly in the hall, as if they were waiting for them to return.
Xie Qingqing nestled in Xie Jingyue's arms, looking at them with a wronged expression.
"Xie Qingqing, come here right now!" he roared.
"Second son, what happened? Why are you so fierce with Qingqing? Tell me, maybe I can give you some advice." The old lady spoke lightly, but it only made the atmosphere more tense.
Mr. Xie knew perfectly well that the old lady was protecting that child. But wrongdoing is wrongdoing, and even if she found a powerful backer, she would still be punished.
If someone dares to push their younger sister downstairs now, they might dare to commit murder and arson when they grow up!
"Mom, this child did something wrong. It's okay for me, as her father, to discipline her, right?" Fearing that the old lady would protect the child unconditionally, Mr. Xie used his identity as the child's father.
The old lady wasn't buying it. "You still know you're her father? I thought you were just trying to be someone else's father."
"Mom, let's keep things separate. The child did something wrong. As her father, I have to discipline her, right? Look what she's done to Wan'er!"
He pulled Xie Wan'er over, and in doing so, he also revealed his injuries.
Xie Wan'er, sensing the situation, gathered large tears and looked at the old lady with pleading eyes, "Grandma, it hurts so much."
Her delicate voice, coupled with her pitiful appearance covered in injuries, would make anyone feel sorry for her.
The three people sitting on the sofa remained unmoved.
Xie Jingyue patted Xie Qingqing on the shoulder to encourage her.
Xie Qingqing mustered her courage and said to her father, "I didn't push her, she fell down on her own!"
"You still dare to argue? Wan'er is so afraid of pain, she's taken so many medicines since she was little. Would she dare to jump off a building to frame you if she took too much medicine?" Xie's father roared at her without any politeness.
The little girl was terrified, staring blankly at him. Her father's image collapsed, and the man before her seemed like a terrifying demon.
“I didn’t push her; she fell down on her own. She’s just being unreasonable, that’s why she’s trying to frame me like this. She got hurt because she brought it on herself; it has nothing to do with me, she deserved it!”
As if venting all the grievances she had accumulated over the years, she said a lot without any regard for others.
Enraged, Xie's father swung his hand down, nearly slapping the person across the face.
Fortunately, Xie Jingyue pulled the two back in time, preventing an accident.
"You're being completely unreasonable! I've made up my mind. From now on, you can't live in the old house anymore. Go live somewhere else, and I'll find someone to take care of you." He awkwardly withdrew his hand, but he still hadn't forgotten his anger.
He regretted bringing the person home, but since the police delivered her themselves, he couldn't return her.
"Where else can she stay? Let her stay at my house? Just because she fell down?" Xie Qingqing's eyes widened, her mind a little confused.
These parents are incredibly biased; they kicked their own biological daughter out for the sake of an adopted daughter.
Madam Xie's eyes were filled with disgust. She hated her daughter, a wretched and immoral child.
"Second Brother, why are you in such a hurry? You trust Xie Wan'er so much, but you don't trust your own child?" Xie Jingyue calmly took a sip of tea and glanced at the somewhat smug Xie Wan'er.
No wonder bad guys are so successful; they're ruthless, cruel to others, and cruel to themselves.
"Why don't we look at something first and then talk?"
