In June, the sun is scorching.
As Guan Xuxu stepped into the gate of the villa, a suitcase fell at her feet with a bang.
The beautiful lady dressed elegantly stood at the entrance and looked down at her. Her eyes swept across the girl's delicate features and snow-white skin. A trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes, followed by undisguised disgust.
"I have asked someone to pack your luggage. From today on, you are going to get out of this house and go back to your biological parents!"
Guan Xuxu didn't even look at the suitcase on the ground. Her almond-shaped eyes looked coldly at Bai Shuqin in front of her, the woman she had called mother for seventeen years.
The noise at the door attracted the attention of the people in the house, and soon, Guan's father and his two children also came out.
Guan's father looked at the suitcase that had fallen at Guan Xuxu's feet, then looked at his wife with a reproachful tone.
"Shuqin, what are you doing? Xuxu is our daughter whom we have raised for eighteen years after all."
"She is just an ungrateful person who can never be tamed!"
Bai Shuqin glared at Guan Xuxu, "I clearly told her to give the city image representative quota to Ruirui this time, but she ignored my words. If I hadn't found out the final list, she would still be in the dark! If she had any conscience, she shouldn't have snatched my sister's things!"
Guan Ruirui, who was standing by, heard Bai Shuqin's words, and a trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it. Her face showed a little grievance and sadness, but she said,
"Mom, please don't be like this. It's a rare opportunity to be the city's image representative. I understand that my sister doesn't want to give it up. Maybe I didn't do well enough, otherwise I wouldn't have been chosen..."
"How are you inferior to her? Everything she has was given by our Guan family." Bai Shuqin comforted her daughter softly.
Guan Xuxu just watched the mother and daughter perform quietly. She had seen such performances countless times since she was a child. At this moment, she felt nothing in her heart and even wanted to laugh.
Three days ago, she was hit by a car and flew more than 20 meters away while trying to save Guan Ruirui. Everyone thought she was dead.
When Bai Shuqin and Guan's family arrived at the scene, their first reaction was not to check on her injuries, but to comfort her daughter who was crying due to the car accident.
Guan Xuxu was lying on the ground in a daze, feeling only cold hands and feet, but what made her even colder was the conversation between Guan's father and Bai Shuqin -
[The front of the car was smashed, he probably won't survive. ]
[It’s good this way. Her death means that Ruirui’s fateful calamity was indeed thwarted by her. It’s worth it that our family has raised her for so many years…]
Guan Xuxu has always known that she was just a tool raised by the Guan family to protect Guan Ruirui from bad luck.
When she was young, she didn't understand why Bai Shuqin would ask her to take care of Guan Ruirui 24 hours a day every time she was sick. And every time under her care, Guan Ruirui would get better quickly, but she herself would fall seriously ill afterwards.
Later, she met her master and received his guidance, only then did she realize that her and Guan Ruirui's horoscopes were in harmony with each other in the Yin-Yang numerology.
The world is made up of two halves, and she is the good half.
The Guan family kept her by Guan Ruirui's side, actually using her own luck to make up for Guan Ruirui's bad luck, and by warding off misfortunes time and time again, Guan Ruirui's fate gradually improved, while hers would slowly decline.
If Guan Xuxu had not been prepared, perhaps her luck would have run out and she would have died in the car accident three days ago.
Thanks to the car accident, her biological parents came to visit unexpectedly.
"Are you done? Can I leave now?"
After hearing this couple discuss her death indifferently with her own ears, Guan Xuxu's last bit of hope for the Guan family completely disappeared. She did not feel reluctant to leave the Guan family at all.
"Xu Xu, don't blame your mother. You were wrong in this matter."
Father Guan came out at this time, his face as serious as ever, "Since your biological parents are here, then you can go back with them."
Guan Ruirui also spoke, her voice soft and timid.
"Sister, don't be angry with mom. Mom did this all for me."
As he spoke, he suddenly took out an envelope from the side and handed it to her, saying very considerately, "Here is one thousand yuan. I heard from my father that my biological parents live in the mountains and their family is very poor. I originally wanted to prepare more cash for you, but my father said that people in the mountains..."
Guan Ruirui hesitated, "Well, it's not good to carry too much money with you anyway."
Bai Shuqin on the side simply added, "Ruirui, you are kind-hearted. What's wrong with saying those things? I heard that men in the mountains who can't find wives just buy one. If you go back, you might be sold as a wife by your family. Anyway, you have average grades and will definitely not be able to get into college. It's better for you to get married."
She sneered again and said, "Don't accuse us of not caring about our friendship over the years. This thousand dollars is enough to last you a year in the mountains. Our family has been very good to you."
Guan Xuxu looked at Bai Shuqin, who looked like she had done her a great favor, and was too lazy to say anything more to her. As for the one thousand yuan in charity, she had no intention of taking it.
After pulling the suitcase, Guan Xuxu turned around and was about to leave, but his eyes paused and he suddenly saw the jade bracelet on Guan Ruirui's wrist.
Suddenly, she reached out and grabbed Guan Ruirui's wrist, "Why is this bracelet here with you?"
Guan Ruirui had prepared cash instead of bank transfer, intending to give alms in person and show off her bracelet. Now that she finally noticed her wrist and was grabbed unexpectedly, she immediately looked frightened and cried out in pain.
"pain……"
As soon as Guan Ruirui spoke, Bai Shuqin's face changed instantly, and she grabbed Guan Xuxu's hand and pulled her away.
"Guan Xuxu! What are you doing?!"
Guan Xuxu stared at Guan Ruirui and said in a cold voice, "That's the bracelet my grandma left for me."
"What do you mean your bracelet?! That was left by the old lady to the daughter of the Guan family. You are not a member of the Guan family anymore, so the bracelet must belong to Ruirui!"
Guan Xuxu gritted his teeth, let go of the suitcase, and turned to look at Guan's father.
"I don't want to take anything from the Guan family. I only want the bracelet that my grandma left for me."
If there was anything in the Guan family that she missed, it was only her grandmother.
Grandma was the only person in the family who truly loved her. Even when she was dying, all she cared about was that she would not have a good life after she was gone.
That bracelet was the only memory her grandmother left her.
Father Guan listened to Guan Xuxu's words without much change in his expression. "Although you are adopted, I have always treated you as my own daughter. Our Guan family is a respectable family. We would not let our daughter go back to recognize her parents without even giving her luggage. Your biological parents' family conditions are not good, so you should take what you should bring with you."
As for giving her the bracelet, he didn't mention a single word.
Guan Ruirui said aggrievedly, "Sister, I know you really want this bracelet, but this, after all, is grandma's thing... How about this, I transfer some more money to you? Is ten thousand enough? If not, twenty thousand?"
The implication of her words clearly indicated that she wanted the bracelet in order to exchange it for money.
Guan Xuxu's gaze shot coldly towards Guan Ruirui.
