Chapter 153: Chapter 153: Quite Good

Watching Song Qin walk away, Xia Yue sighed in resignation, glancing towards Xia Xi. "I guess there will be another scene after the banquet."

"Why does she treat us so differently from how she treats Xia Qing?" Xia Xi couldn’t understand. They were all her biological daughters. The difference was so stark that it was as if she were an adopted child.

"Xia Qing was a child she eagerly awaited, while she initially just wanted two kids. You came third, and your birth was coupled with severe bleeding which nearly cost her life. So, she dislikes this third child."

"She’d meticulously plan everything for Xia Qing to make her happy and satisfied. She’d give her anything she wanted."

"As for the third child, it was enough not to starve or freeze," Xia Yue replied with a smile.

"Oh, never mind. I don’t think we could get along well anyway. It’s better this way." Xia Xi nodded, reflecting on their few interactions and the stark difference in lifestyle. She felt this was better.

"I’ve been indifferent since childhood, even more so now," Xia Yue smiled.

"Why?" Xia Xi didn’t understand. How could a child not long for the love of their parents?

"Before my third grade in elementary school, I also wanted their love, more attention or discipline.

But then, there was a boy in our class whose parents were very strict. They exerted control over everything from his diet to his friends. But they did love him profoundly, giving him anything he desired, as long as it fell within their rules."

At that time, when I put myself in his shoes, I suddenly felt glad that my parents didn’t interfere in my life. I enjoyed the freedom, and as long as my academic performance was decent, I was content. My pocket money was no less than my peers. Nobody would mind even if I stayed out after school. It seemed I was far more fortunate than that boy," Xia Yue smiled as she explained her transformation.

"In that case, it’s quite good to be unloved." Xia Xi nodded in agreement.

"Right? The older I got, the more I relished their indifference. Most people would be strictly supervised by their parents in their third year of primary school or high school, their grades constantly being scrutinized and any decline would result in additional remedial classes.

But I didn’t have to worry about that. As long as they weren’t called in because of poor grades, they didn’t care. Only during the crucial period of the college entrance examination, my older brother tutored me, helping me with my problems. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been admitted to that university," Xia Yue joyfully shared.

"Oh." Xia Xi nodded, not asking any more.

After they had some food, they strolled around the Banquet Hall, waiting for seven o’clock when the old man Xia, accompanied by his wife, came out to cut the cake.

Xia Yue, munching on the delicious cake, wore a continuous smile on her face.

The birthday celebration lasted till after nine, then slowly started to disperse.

By almost ten o’clock, the guests had all left.

Xia Yue quickly grabbed some food and cake to take back to the room for the system and Spiritual Cat.

While they ate, she cleaned up and showered.

By the time she exited the washroom, the two cats had polished off all the food.

Gathering the trash and tossing it into the trash can, Xia Yue dried her hair and then lounged on the bed, engrossed in her phone.

"Finally, I can enjoy my phone." Xia Yue hummed a tune, her mood exceedingly good.

[We won’t be going back for three more days, let’s go out and explore and eat."]System’s eyes twinkled with anticipation, looking at Xia Yue.
