Xie Jingyue had long known that Xie Qingqing wouldn't give up so easily. According to Xie Qingqing's original life trajectory, she would have gone through something similar and died in that kidnapping. It's just that now it's happened earlier than expected.
"Auntie, I'm so scared!"
Xie Qingqing threw herself into her arms and cried uncontrollably.
When she was first kidnapped, she wasn't nervous or afraid at all, as if she had expected it to happen. But when they discussed where they were going, she became so afraid that she no longer feared death.
Until Xie Jingyue appeared, and she saw the only person in the world who truly loved her, she completely broke down. All her grievances poured out, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
"It's alright, it's alright, your aunt is here."
Xie Jingyue gently patted her back to comfort her.
No girl who has experienced something like this could remain calm. The blatant malice and the despair of being abandoned by one's parents make life feel worse than death.
"They really don't love me at all, not even a little bit. Aunt, you're all I have left, you're all I have left." Xie Qingqing burst into tears, unable to control her grievances even though she had seen through everything.
It is because we have never had it that we yearn for it, and the result of this yearning is to be hurt again.
"Auntie is here, Auntie has always been here."
Xie Jingyue sighed, feeling helpless.
This time, she wasn't her mother; otherwise, given her level of favoritism, she could have offered her the greatest comfort. But there was nothing she could do; she was just a distant aunt. If it weren't for her powerful status, she probably wouldn't have been able to protect her like this.
The kidnappers were apprehended, and Xie Jingyue took the ransom with her. She then took Xie Qingqing back to the old house.
Meanwhile, at the old house, Xie's father and mother were comforting the frightened Xie Wan'er. The mother and daughter hugged each other and wept bitterly.
After crying for a long time, Xie Wan'er suddenly spoke up, "Mom, what about my sister?"
Madam Xie said indifferently, "Let's just say that we mother and daughter are not destined to be together. Wan'er, don't worry about her, it's her fate. If she has a bad fate, it's not our fault."
Are you suggesting she abandon Wan'er to save Qingqing? Impossible!
Mr. Xie stood to the side, smoking anxiously, and it seemed like many of his hairs had turned white.
They cruelly abandoned their own daughter, while he saved another child with whom he had no blood relation. If outsiders knew this, how would they view the Xie family?
When Xie Jingchen found out about this, he was furious.
"Dad, Mom, that's your own daughter! Your own daughter!"
He knew that his two younger sisters didn't get along. Although he sometimes favored Xie Wan'er a little, Xie Qingqing was, after all, his own sister, and he tried his best to make amends.
He was unaware of this when it happened; he only found out when he returned. After hearing the whole story, he was momentarily speechless.
“Wan’er is also your sister! Those kidnappers only let us choose one, so of course we would choose the one who is closer to us!” Madam Xie said righteously.
Xie Wan'er nestled in her arms, looking at her brother with a wronged expression, "Brother, I'm your sister too."
Only now does Xie Jingchen realize how terribly wrong he was. He favored Xie Wan'er, and his parents favored her too, but what about Xie Qingqing? Who favored her?
Aunt? But how can an aunt replace the parents?
"You guys are so stupid! Call the police right now and tell me your location, I need to go save Qingqing!"
"No!"
Xie Jingyue brought the people back to the old house. Hearing the arguing in the house, she spoke up to stop it, saying, "I've already brought the people back."
Xie Qingqing stood quietly behind her, seemingly unharmed, but her eyes showed no particular emotion.
Mr. Xie breathed a sigh of relief, "Good boy, it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
Xie Jingchen quickly ran over and pulled Xie Qingqing up and down, looking her over. "How are you? Are you hurt anywhere? I'm sorry, I didn't know this would happen, otherwise you wouldn't have suffered such injustice."
Xie Qingqing exerted a little force and broke free from his hand. "Brother, it's a good thing you weren't here."
Thankfully, he wasn't there, so she wouldn't hear him say he chose Xie Wan'er. Therefore, in her eyes, Xie Jingchen was still a good brother, so there was no disappointment yet.
If all three people were present at the time and chose Xie Wan'er, how strong must her heart be to accept the truth?
"Sister, you're back." Xie Wan'er bit her lower lip and looked at her with a wronged expression.
But deep hatred lingered in her eyes. Why did she come back? Why wasn't she killed? Why was it her aunt who saved her?
"You're back, so go back to your room and rest. Who are you trying to impress with that deadpan face?" Madam Xie felt a little guilty, remembering the fact that Xie Qingqing was her biological daughter.
But she didn't regret it, she just felt a little guilty, that's all.
Xie Qingqing scoffed, "You should catch up with your good daughter instead, otherwise you might not have time to reminisce."
"What do you mean? Are you threatening me?"
"Threat is an insult, it sounds awful. I'm just a Chinese person who believes in laws and regulations."
Then, two men in police uniforms walked in. They first showed their identification and then said, "Xie Wan'er is involved in crimes such as instigation, kidnapping, and bribery, so please come with us."
This was not an ordinary kidnapping case at all; it was something that Xie Wan'er personally sought out and orchestrated.
Originally, she wanted to have Xie Qingqing kidnapped and sold far away so she wouldn't have to see her again. But then she changed her mind and changed her strategy.
She wanted to force her parents to make a choice in front of the kidnappers, and she wanted Xie Qingqing to realize that she, as their biological daughter, had no status in the Xie family at all.
Just as she had expected, her parents chose her and abandoned Xie Qingqing.
But she never imagined that this matter would be exposed.
"No, no, you're slandering me! I didn't do anything, why are you pinning the blame on me? It wasn't me!" Xie Wan'er was agitated. She couldn't go to the police station, otherwise her life would be ruined.
Madam Xie protected her, glaring fiercely at the two policemen, "Do you have any evidence? If you don't have any evidence, don't slander my Wan'er. My Wan'er is the most well-behaved. Besides, Xie Qingqing is fine, isn't she?"
So, does she have to get into trouble before she can take the person away?
Xie Qingqing took a deep breath, turned her head away, and looked elsewhere.
Xie Jingyue scoffed, "Without evidence, how could the police possibly come to arrest someone? Second sister-in-law, I think you're so confused you've lost your mind."
