Xie Ziyuan was the daughter she personally raised, embodying all her beautiful hopes and aspirations.
Xie Ziyuan is also outstanding enough, but in both academics and alchemy, she has gone much further and achieved much more than Xie Li.
If Xie Li had continued to study steadily in her first year of high school, she might have actually become the top scorer in the college entrance examination and brought glory to her family; but she was too arrogant and skipped two grades to go to her third year of high school.
At that time, let alone becoming the top scorer, they probably won't even be able to get into a university. That would be truly shameful!
"I want to see just how badly she falls down!"
Thinking about it this way, it's best not to get too involved with Xie Li; she doesn't want to lose face along with him.
Anyway, Xie Ziyuan will earn back the glory and face she wants, and that's enough.
Once Ding Huizhu understood, her expression brightened. "Mom, brother, don't worry about me. I know everything. I won't dwell on things anymore."
"Ziyuan is my daughter. I'm going to throw her a birthday party and a coming-of-age ceremony. This is a major event in her life. I'll make sure it's a grand affair and let the Ding family shine too!"
Grandma Ding breathed a sigh of relief. "It's best that you think that way. From now on, you must always put yourself first!"
She spoke to Ding Huizhu with such kindness that it made the servants following her involuntarily rub their arms and get goosebumps—
The old lady doesn't treat other people or servants this way at home.
She has an explosive and harsh temper, and few people can get along with her.
Perhaps it was because Ding Huizhu was her only daughter, the servant thought.
Outside the door, the boy stood with his hands in his pockets, looking arrogantly at the harmonious scene inside the ward.
Aunt Wan turned around and saw him. She hurried out to greet him and whispered, "Young Master, you've come to see Madam? Please come in!"
Xie Zian shook his head. "It's good that everyone is alright. I won't go in."
Aunt Wan thought about it and agreed. Ding Huizhu had always been a strong-willed person and probably wouldn't want Xie Zi'an to see her vulnerable side.
Moreover, to be honest, Old Mrs. Ding wasn't very close to Xie Zi'an.
Seeing that Xie Zi'an was staring blankly into the ward as if lost in thought, Sister Wan started a conversation.
“Miss Xie Li really went too far this time. Madam was so angry that she fainted, and she didn’t even look back. Really, how can she be so heartless…”
Xie Zian suddenly felt a surge of irritation. "Alright, stop talking."
"That's it. I'm going back. Take good care of my mother." He said coldly, pulled up his hoodie, and left.
——
Ding Huizhu was so angry that she fainted. The Xie family originally wanted to keep the news under wraps, but somehow, the news became a huge scandal.
Madam Huo sat in her villa, listening to the gossip of the wealthy woman in front of her, her smile remaining faint.
He seemed not to care at all; his composure and cultivation were truly admirable.
The gossiping noblewoman paused for a moment, then smiled and exclaimed, "The Second Madam is truly well-mannered!"
The noblewoman came not only to share gossip, but also to curry favor with Madam Huo the Second.
In normal circumstances, everyone would stand on the moral high ground and harshly criticize the Xie family's true daughter. Only Madam Huo the Second refused to say a single bad word.
Madam Huo didn't care. She wouldn't let anyone know that she was overjoyed to hear the news.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have let this big mouth talk nonsense in their own villa. It wouldn't be good if Yun Tang came back.
Before she could finish her thought, she stood up in surprise. "Yun Tang, why are you back?"
