[Qin Chaoyue is openly asking our Sister Xia to expose her past wounds to everyone, isn't that going too far?]

【? ? ? ? 】

[Whose side are you on anyway? Didn't you see how disrespectful this girl is to Xia Xiyue? There's clearly something going on here. My wife is now exposing this family's true colors to everyone. This is like digging out the rotten flesh and the wound will heal itself!]

We're all family, after all. As the saying goes, "Don't wash your dirty linen in public..."

【I'm your father! Come here right now, and I'll beat you half to death, and I'll also teach you a lesson you can't air in public!】

I'm sorry, although you're very understanding, I still need to contact the slaughterhouse.

Xia Xiyue's gaze first fell on that hand.

then.

Following the hand, I gradually looked up at Qin Chaoyue's face.

Women are refined and beautiful.

During her high school years, she skipped a grade, which made her face appear even more youthful and immature among a group of vibrant teenagers.

The young girl Qin Chaoyue rarely showed any expression, at least not the "sweet and romantic smile" described in those romance novels... Xia Xiyue had never seen it before.

But it was precisely because of that subtle appearance on a pretty face that still had a slightly chubby face.

Xia Xiyue really, really wanted to rush up and pinch him hard!

Ok.

There was no "fierce" action, only a fierce look on his face, but when he actually struck, he was still reluctant to do it and did it "gently".

Now, this face can only fade away, making it appear even more exceptionally beautiful.

But as before, Qin Chaoyue's expression remained largely unchanged, mostly a lazy and casual one.

Xia Xiyue actually understood everything.

Qin Chaoyue participated in the program mainly for her "newly born" younger brother—even though the one she had met at school was not him.

Now that the truth has come to light, and considering the few times they met in the past, Xia Xiyue subconsciously felt that the "former younger brother" in her memory would not let the matter rest so easily!

And now.

Perhaps through her own continuous efforts, the gentle gaze that Qin Chaoyue often showed when looking at her younger brother began to fall on her.

A ray of light seemed to reflect in her dark eyes, instantly illuminating all the gloom and resentment in her heart...

Xia Xiyue lowered her head.

"Actually, there's not much to say—"

Where are all those people who were just criticizing me? Take a good look around; who wants to discuss their family matters online?

[Don't try to whitewash Qin Chaoyue. She's a cold-blooded and ruthless person. She doesn't understand any social etiquette and only cares about her own pleasure... Waaaa, look how badly our Mu Mu has been bullied all this time!]

"My relationship with my uncle's family has always been just so-so."

“I was raised by my grandmother when I was little. There was only a primary school in the village. Later, in order to go to school, I was sent to my uncle's house in the town…”

【Call?】

[Please, please, some fangirl, stop using this opportunity to whitewash your image! I'm a fan of Xia, beautiful girls should stick close to other beautiful girls!]

Chu Xiling's expression was blank.

She didn't expect that with just one sentence from Qin Chaoyue, Xia Xiyue would naturally recount the past events.

Xia Xiyue's tone was straightforward, her expression devoid of any attempt to elicit sympathy:

“A long time ago, my parents separated for some reason. They were both young and neither wanted me, which is normal. In the end, my grandmother raised me, which is also normal.”

"Life in the village was relatively easy until I was about to start junior high school. Due to the distance to school, my grandma eventually entrusted me to my uncle's family in town for boarding."

“My grandmother gave me temporary accommodation expenses there, and she also asked my parents for some money. My uncle’s family also agreed.”

"Moving there... living under someone else's roof will make the children in the original family feel squeezed and excluded. It's normal for them to be more diligent, and there are also household expenses..."

Xia Xiyue spoke lightly, but everyone knew how difficult it was.

A child abandoned by his parents at a young age, he could only live with his grandmother from childhood. Even in a relatively simple and honest village, a child raised solely by his grandmother would inevitably face a lot of gossip and... bullying.

Judging from Xia Xiyue's tone, her childhood time in the village seemed to be the most carefree period of her life.

Even until the end of the school term, the grandmother insisted on sending her granddaughter to school, nagging all the way...

The elderly grandmother knew she couldn't stay with her granddaughter for much longer; she believed that education and knowledge were the only way out.

Judging from the fact that Xia Xiyue was specially recruited by this prestigious high school, her talent and hard work are both quite good.

But later, he entered the entertainment industry... and his talent was monetized in a different way.

The text also mentions that the grandmother specifically asked her parents for money so that her granddaughter could stay at her uncle's house in town.

Firstly, it shows that the grandmother didn't have much savings to begin with, but no matter what, she still chose to raise her granddaughter well and even send her to school. More than material things, she was looking out for a future for the child when she could no longer take care of her.

both……

The parents have always remained out of sight, never showing any concern for their daughter, and never providing any financial support to her grandmother.

This amount of money might be acceptable; in any case, my uncle accepted it.

But this was, after all, a lodging for someone else, not their own home. At first, perhaps because of the money and the fact that it was just an extra pair of chopsticks, they gave more than enough money for themselves and even hired a maid for their own family. But once the person actually moved in, all sorts of problems would surface.

Modern people might need some time to adjust to suddenly having a cat or dog, let alone a living person?

Firstly, the uncle's family also has an even younger daughter; secondly, there's the aunt, who is not related by blood; and perhaps even the uncle, being a biological brother, would react differently upon seeing his sister's child...

At that time, Xia Xiyue's living environment, psychological pressure, and the housework she was forced to do in this "home" at such a young age...

But Xia Xiyue didn't say much.

Even if the other party was initially only interested in the money, her uncle at least took her in when she was in the most difficult and needed time, didn't he? At least he solved the most important problem for her and her grandmother at that time.

As for the back...

Xia Xiyue spoke casually, but someone on the other end panicked first: "Sister!"

Chu Xiling said, "I was still in elementary school at the time, and I didn't understand anything. Suddenly there was another person in the family, and I was worried that her arrival would take away my parents' attention from me..."

Xu Mucheng heard it clearly.

There's clearly something sordid going on between these two sisters!

Now that it's already been exposed, she doesn't mind adding fuel to the fire at all. Anyway, she already disliked Chu Xiling, that sly copycat!

Between Chu Xiling and Xia Xiyue, Xia Xiyue is relatively less disliked.

"Oh dear~ Sister Xia is so young and she has to take on so many housework. Isn't that treating the relatives she's staying with like servants?"

Xu Mucheng covered her mouth, completely ignoring Chu Xiling's pitiful appearance in surprise, "Little sister Xiling is so young... isn't this bullying?"

— Bullying.

These two words are far too serious, no matter the occasion or location.

"I didn't!" Chu Xiling knew the importance of the matter and quickly defended herself, "Xu Mucheng, don't talk nonsense!"

Xu Mucheng looked scared and took a step back, shielding Huo Mingyi in front of her.

Huo Mingyi, Chu Xiling's fifth target, also glared fiercely in their direction.

[It has to be said that Xu Mucheng's shamelessness is quite satisfying in this situation.]

Why did Xu Mucheng step in? She doesn't get along with Xia Xiyue, and Chu Xiling is new; there's no need for her to.

[Pure Hatred]

【? 】

[Regarding the pure hatred for cunning scholars, Chu Xiling is even younger than herself, so she must nip this in the bud.]

“I don’t think my time at my uncle’s house was bad.”

These are Xia Xiyue's true feelings.

Chu Xiling was just about to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Later, Grandma got sick and needed to be hospitalized. I don't want to stay at my uncle's house anymore. I hope my uncle will take out the portion of the money Grandma paid that was supposed to cover my accommodation so Grandma can pay her medical bills first. This isn't Grandma's own money, is it? You haven't even spent any of it yet—"

Xia Xiyue looked at Chu Xiling with dark and cold eyes.

"Chu Lingling, why won't your family give it to me? That's my grandmother's money for medical treatment and saving her life!"
