Chapter 387: Chapter 376: Happy

Seeing Xia Yue’s cheerful smile, Yan Mo curiously asked, "What’s making you so happy?"

"Xia Qing asked whether the resort was open; she wanted to come over and play with someone, and even asked me to arrange a guest room for her in our house.

She gave me orders in a condescending manner; she’s completely out of line.

In the past, if it weren’t for fear of her tattling on me to my parents, I wouldn’t have agreed to some of the things she demanded. She seems to think that I’m still under her thumb.

I just sent a message to my grandfather, asking him to handle the situation for me. Now, she won’t be coming." Xia Yue spoke to him with a victorious smile.

"Don’t you get along with her? I feel that you have a better relationship with Xia Xi than her." Yan Mo looked at her quizzically and asked.

You must understand, Xia Qing and she grew up together, whereas Xia Xi is the child who had her identity exchanged. After Xia Xi came back, her status had changed; she was no longer the beloved daughter of the Xia family.

Under normal circumstances, Xia Yue should have agreed to Xia Qing’s request and had a strained relationship with Xia Xi.

But now, it’s the complete opposite.

"From a young age, Xia Qing and I have never gotten along. If it wasn’t for my elder brother, I would have been punished numerous times because of Xia Qing’s antics.

Fortunately, my elder brother, being the fair person he is, saved me from many punishments. This resulted in Xia Qing hating me even more, always looking to pick a fight - and whenever she had no ground to stand on, she would go crying to our parents.

Now that I’m not her real sister, not our parents’ biological daughter, I won’t give them any face. I’ll prevent her from coming - I bet it’s driving her crazy." Thinking about Xia Qing’s vexed state, Xia Yue laughed aloud.

She then glanced at Yan Mo and, seeing no sign of disagreement, continued,

"As for Xia Xi, I find her pretty easy to get along with. She may seem aloof, but after interacting with her, you’ll realize she’s not as cold as she appears. Chatting with her is quite comforting.

Moreover, it was my biological mother who swapped her away, leaving me to enjoy over twenty years of fortune. The fact that she can still talk to me in a calm and composed manner is something I greatly admire.

If I were in her shoes, I would make the person who swapped me pay. But when she came back, she didn’t ask our grandparents to retaliate against my biological parents."

Yan Mo looked at her, thinking how rational she was, viewing the situation from such a sensible perspective.

However, according to the investigation report, Xia Yue’s biological family is not doing well. She has two older sisters and a younger brother. After her sisters got married, they have to pitch in financially to support their spoilt and unambitious brother who refused to work, merely relying on their parents’ support.

"Have you ever thought of going to see your biological parents?" Yan Mo asked her curiously.

"Are you joking? I’ve heard from Xia Xi that my biological parents prefer sons over daughters. I have money, a house, and a car now. Why should I go back just to be exploited by them? I definitely do not want to." Xia Yue widened her eyes in surprise, wondering if he was foolish.

"I don’t think they would miss me. From the moment they sold Xia Xi to her master, I knew that if I were to go back, I would probably be exploited as some kind of cash machine. Once I ran out of money, they would find someone who could afford a high bride price and marry me off without caring about his character.

Don’t say that I’m too pessimistic. That’s how people are. Plus, I’m past the age of needing parental love.

Even without the system, I would still be living well. My elder brother gives me pocket money every month, and my grandparents, uncle, aunt, and cousins still care about me. Even though I’m not the daughter of the Xia family, they won’t let me live a miserable life."
