Coming back to her parent’s house and seeing everything she was familiar with, Xia Weiwei couldn’t help but picture in her mind the moments when mom was still alive and she was doted on by them, when her sister was also adorable, and when joy was overflowing in their family.
In just a few years, everything had changed in this place. The servants at home no longer respected her, as if they were treating a stranger. After greeting her with a cold and distant “madam”, they left her alone in the living room.
She laughed in a self-deprecating manner. Her father had announced publicly that he had broken off all relations with her, so now she was indeed a complete stranger.
They served her lily tea which was Xia Mo’s favorite. Ah, she’d once thought that her sister was as clean, kind and innocent as the lily in her favorite tea. But the reality was that Xia Mo was a poisonous lily with a vicious heart, who had fooled everyone with her innocent appearance!
“You are back, sis!”
Xia Mo, in a pure white satin nightdress, was standing on the second floor smilingly, looking as if a lotus high up in the mountains.
“What are you doing to mom’s painting studio?”
If it’s not about her mother’s most favorite thing, Xia Weiwei wouldn’t have come back here. She didn’t want to see her father’s disappointed look. Her father must have believed all the rumors to have severed the relationship with her.
“I’ve decided to auction off all mom’s paintings, and dad has agreed.”
“No way!” Xia Weiwei couldn’t believe that her father, who had loved her mother so much and hadn’t remarried for two years, would now be willing to sell the paintings mother had left!
“Why not? Dad loved mom so much. These paintings would only remind him of the loss and sadness.”
“It’s all because of you, isn’t it?” Xia Weiwei couldn’t help but walk to Xia Mo questioningly. The paintings hadn’t been touched for two years. Why the sudden decision now?
Xia Mo smiled, but did not deny it.
“Are you out of your mind? Those are the only things mom left!” Xia Weiwei couldn’t help raising her hand and trying to slap her, but her wrist was seized by Xia Mo.
“So what? Since we were little, mom could only see you! I’m her daughter as well! But she left no shares for me! Keeping these paintings would only remind me of the fact that mom was so partial to you! If it wasn’t for you, mom wouldn’t have died! If she was still alive and knew what you have done, she would regret it! And you wouldn’t have been the one Jue married! ”
“Xia Mo, you don’t deserve to be mom’s daughter!”
Xia Mo chuckled and waved at Xia Weiwei with something in her hand: “Do you recognize this, sis?”
Xia Weiwei’s eyes were wide open. This was the plaster doll she’d made with mom on her fifth birthday. Now there was only one fragmented piece left.
“I have the final say in this family now. If you don’t want me to get rid of these paintings, you should give up the shares and divorce Jue!”
Had she been so desperate that she was pushing it like this? Xia Weiwei smiled: “what’s the matter? Hasn’t Luo Chejue told you? I’ve asked him to give me a child before I give him the shares. As long as I don’t have his child, you won’t be Mrs. Luo!”
Xia Mo’s look instantly turned ferocious, but as if she immediately thought of something, she smiled and said: “It’s my first month of pregnancy.”
Xia Weiwei was stunned, and her abdomen was twisting in pain. Just when she lost her capacity to be a mother, Xia Mo got pregnant!
What an irony!
At the thought that Luo Chejue, while sharing her bed these days, had also had it going with Xia Mo, she felt physically sick. She deliberately ignored the pain gushing up inside and managed to conceal it well: “do you think I would really be bothered about a bastard? My dear sister, why don’t you think about how to explain to the public why you’ve been cheating with your brother-in-law and now you’re pregnant with a bastard? The good image you’ve been painstakingly remaining is about to be destroyed. So tell me, who will be the loser in the end? “
