Chapter 122 Who's your sister?
"Who's your sister?"
Do you even know who your own mother is?
Xie Qingran spat out a disdainful spit.
She got up and walked straight out, clearly not intending to pay any attention to Xie Hanyue.
In the past, such words were an absolute taboo in the Xie family, and no one was allowed to mention them.
However, to everyone's surprise, Xie Qingran said it so bluntly in front of outsiders, showing no respect for Xie Hanyue whatsoever.
Xie Qingran didn't say anything before, not because of Xie Hanyue, but because she didn't want her family to be sad.
Now, Xie Qingran doesn't care about the life or death of the Xie family members at all. They deserve to be sad!
With this in mind, Xie Qingran's steps became exceptionally firm, and she walked out step by step.
"Waaah... Brother Jinzhi, I'm sorry."
Xie Hanyue immediately burst into tears, but still didn't forget to act pitiful.
"It's my fault, it's all my fault, my sister is targeting me."
"Waaah, Brother Jinzhi, let's go. My sister hates me. Let's not appear in front of her again, okay?"
As Xie Hanyue spoke, tears streamed down her face, making her look incredibly pitiful.
Gu Xiangyuan, who was originally unwilling to meddle in other people's business, immediately changed her expression when she saw Xie Hanyue crying and slandering Xie Qingran in front of her. She gritted her teeth and said unhappily, "Why are you crying? Did Miss say something wrong? You were originally a bastard who was picked up. What? After being a daughter of the Xie family for a few years, you have forgotten your origins?"
Even Zhou Huai'an was shocked. He had never expected that Gu Xiangyuan, who had been so gentle and compliant in front of him, could say such vicious things. The atmosphere in the room became very awkward.
Xie Hanyue was cunning and ruthless, but all her dirty tricks were used on Xie Qingran. When facing a true lady from a respectable family like Xie Qingran, she was completely helpless.
Hearing her say that, Xie Hanyue couldn't even utter a word of rebuttal. She just kept pulling Lu Jinzhi's arm and walking out, crying as she went. Anyone who didn't know better would think she had suffered a great injustice.
Everyone was sitting together happily, but Xie Hanyue's arrival turned the situation into what it is now, making Shen Wenyuan feel terrible.
His eyebrows furrowed tightly as he said with some dissatisfaction, "It's really infuriating! This second young lady is like a jinx, always crying and whining, she never stops wherever she goes!"
Previously, Shen Wenyuan thought Xie Hanyue was pretty and spoke in a sweet, delicate voice, which he liked very much and was willing to say more to her.
But for some reason, in the last few times we met, she was always sharp-tongued, aggressive, and prone to crying. Shen Wenyuan had seen this kind of behavior many times when he was in the inner quarters, but he never expected that Xie Hanyue, an unmarried girl, would be so vulgar. It was really boring.
"I think she's a jinx."
"Alright, I should go home too."
Gu Xiangyuan stood up, spat, and strode outside.
After walking out of the room, Gu Xiangyuan belatedly realized that Zhou Huai'an was still inside. Thinking about what she had just said, Gu Xiangyuan felt embarrassed. Now, she was afraid she had no image left at all.
Watching Gu Xiangyuan's departing figure, Zhou Huai'an actually became a little interested, mainly because he rarely saw such a straightforward person.
While in the palace, Zhou Huai'an always had to face countless conspiracies and schemes. If his future wife were simple, happy, and of noble birth, that would be perfect.
Now, only Shen Wenyuan and Zhou Huai'an were left in the room. When their eyes met, they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
Shen Wenyuan picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said sullenly, "Such good tea, what a waste!"
He hadn't even dared to drink it, waiting specifically for Xie Qingran, but he never expected that Xie Hanyue would ruin it.
Xie Qingran had just returned home when Lu Jinzhi was already waiting for her in the main hall, along with Madam Wang and Xie Zhaoye.
The three of them were united in their hatred of the enemy, and when they stood together, their eyes seemed to want to devour Xie Qingran alive.
"I have met Mother and Young Master Lu."
Xie Qingran stepped forward gracefully and bowed respectfully.
The more indifferent she seemed, the angrier Lu Jinzhi became.
Wang strode forward and slapped Xie Qingran hard across the face, gritting her teeth as she said, "You wretch, kneel down right now!"
"Mother, what are you doing?" Xie Qingran's face was turned to the side by the blow, and blood dripped from her nose.
Not satisfied with that, Wang grabbed Xie Qingran's hair and said, "You drove your sister to suicide, and now you have the nerve to ask me what I'm doing here?"
"Suicide by hanging?"
"Dead?"
Xie Qingran found it amusing and raised an eyebrow at Wang Shi.
Perhaps because her gaze was so cold, Wang was also startled and took a step back, unconsciously loosening her grip on her hair.
"Xie Qingran, how could you be so vicious? How could you say such a thing?"
"Yue'er is your sister, how can you be so cruel?"
Xie Zhaoye stepped forward, pointed at Xie Qingran, and looked heartbroken.
"She wanted to die, I didn't make her go to her death, so how am I the one who's wicked?"
Xie Qingran silently took a step back, took a handkerchief, and wiped the blood from her nose. Now, she didn't care at all whether these people were jumping up and down; she only cared whether her face would affect the wedding three days later.
Seeing this, Lu Jinzhi said directly, "If you hadn't said those humiliating things to her at the rouge shop, how could she have been so distraught as to hang herself?"
"What did I say? How did I humiliate her?"
"She was originally an illegitimate child of unknown origin."
Xie Qingran remained expressionless, simply stating the fact in a calm manner.
Now, Wang Shi and Xie Zhaoye's expressions became even more ferocious.
Xie Zhaoye, in particular, strode forward, glaring at Xie Qingran through gritted teeth: "Shut up! You're not allowed to say such things again. Father and Mother have already said that Yue'er is our Xie family's daughter. How could you say such a thing?"
"oh."
Xie Qingran shrugged.
"Then I won't say anything more. Anyway, everyone knows what happened."
"It's just burying your head in the sand."
Xie Qingran chuckled dismissively and turned to leave.
Seeing her turn and leave, Xie Zhaoye and Wang Shi were dumbfounded. If it were before, she would have knelt down and begged for forgiveness, explaining herself non-stop. How did it turn out like this now?
