Chapter 30 The 29th day of getting disliked
"Dad! Mom! Did Xia Shiwei expose the true and fake heiress matter? I knew it must be her. She can't stand me faring well!"
As soon as Father and Mother Xia returned to the Xia Family, Xia Duoduo immediately went to welcome them.
But the imagined comfort didn't appear. Seeing Xia Duoduo complain about Shi Wei as soon as she opened her mouth, Father Xia was so furious that he slapped Xia Duoduo in the face!
"You have no evidence, so on what basis can you say it's Shi Wei's fault!" Father Xia's wrinkled face flushed with anger. All his strength was vented by this slap, "Even if Shi Wei wants to publicly announce this matter, it's justified. It's not your turn to scold her!"
Xia Duoduo was stunned by the slap and fell to the ground. A clear palm print was on her fair cheek. She stared at Xia Derong in disbelief and turned to Zhao Meiqi.
How did it end up like this?
Shi Wei didn't want this family anymore, while she was obediently waiting for them at home. How could they slap her as soon as they come back?
"Dad, Mom..." Xia Duoduo’s tears gathered in her eyes, "What did I do wrong? Why are you treating me like this..."
"What did you do?" Zhao Meiqi frowned. She pointed at Xia Duoduo, her fingers were shaking, "What did you do, don't you know? Ye Wenqing went to the prison to see Xu Yangyang. She had told us everything about Ye Yu!"
Xia Duoduo opened her eyes wide. The words she had prepared to sell misery were stuck in her throat for a moment.
Xu Yangyang actually told Ye Wenqing all this... Did they know that it was her idea?
Xia Duoduo immediately shouted, climbed forward and hugged Zhao Meiqi's thighs tightly, "Mom! That Xu Yangyang is framing me! How can a criminal's words be taken seriously! I never gave them any advice. They themselves want to discredit Shi Wei!"
"We have no evidence for Xu Yangyang’s matter," Xia Yuanzhou said, "What about the room demolition incident? It was you who wanted to demolish Shi Wei's room to use as a cloakroom, and you still have the nerve to say that I framed you?"
Xia Duoduo's shoulders trembled. She cautiously threaded, "Yuanzhou, isn't that incident already over?"
"Over?" Xia Yuanzhou sneered, "Because it doesn’t benefit you, it's over?"
Xia Yuanzhou looked at Zhao Meiqi, "Mom, after that incident, I went to find the decorators on that day. They told me personally that the room was designed according to Xia Duoduo's favorite style. The layout is what she liked. So demolishing her own room to give Shi Wei a cloakroom is nonsense!"
He turned back to Xia Duoduo, "You did something bad and framed others. You have used this trick not only on me, but on Shi Wei!"
"I didn't! I didn't!"
Scared, Xia Duoduo shook her head repeatedly.
"And the engagement," Xia Yiwen suddenly spoke out, "Young Master Sheng had nothing to do with you, but you said that you and Young Master Sheng like each other, making us think that Shi Wei stole your engagement as well as making us feel more guilty toward you. Isn’t that right?"
"What does it have to with the engagement?" Zhao Meiqi said in surprise.
"Mom, you forgot that when Shi Wei came back, although we were a little biased, we didn't hate Shi Wei. But after Grandmother announced that Shi Wei and Young Master Sheng are engaged, Xia Duoduo cried for a long time, making us all think that Shi Wei had snatched Young Master Sheng away, the person Duoduo liked."
"We were completely biased toward Duoduo after the engagement and felt that Shi Wei was too scheming and wanted to compete with Duoduo for everything. But in fact, the Sheng Family wanted the daughter of the Xia Family. It had nothing to do with Duoduo. If Shi Wei hadn't come back, Duoduo could be engaged to Young Master Sheng. It wouldn't be because Young Master Sheng liked her, but because she was basked by our family’s blessing!"
Zhao Meiqi took two steps back in shock.
Due to the engagement, they always felt guilty toward Duoduo. Because the engaged party became Shi Wei, Zhao Meiqi had once felt that Shi Wei was a scheming child who loved to compete with Duoduo for favor. It made her dislike Shi Wei even more.
Originally, because coming back from the countryside, Shi Wei didn't know a lot of etiquette of wealthy families and was more casual. It made Zhao Meiqi complain a lot. Then adding the engagement, it made Zhao Meiqi feel that the daughter she found outside wasn't as good as the one she raised with her own hands.
But what kind of thing did she raise with her own hands!
Just then, the housekeeper hurried to Xia Derong. Assistant Lin of Shengshi Group had come.
Xia Derong immediately let him invite Assistant Lin in.
After all, he was someone from the Sheng Family. Perhaps this was the only connection between them and Shi Wei now.
Despite seeing the mess in the villa's living room, Assistant Lin was still as calm as ever. He nodded to Xia Derong and Zhao Meiqi as a polite greeting.
"President Xia, Mrs. Xia, President Sheng asked me to give you a document. It may be useful for you to teach your children tonight."
As Assistant Lin said, he handed a document to Xia Derong. Xia Derong took the document with a suspicious look on his face. Flipping through two pages, his frowning face became even gloomier.
After a moment, his fury exploded and he threw the document on Xia Duoduo's face,
"Look at what you have done!"
The document was suddenly collected and bound. It was clamped with loose-leaf book clips. When it was thrown, the book clips slipped and the papers fell to the ground.
Xia Duoduo glanced at the content on the paper. It was... evidence that she and Zhao Yi bribed the online marketing.
Xia Duoduo felt her blood coagulate.
"The engagement matter was messed up by the Ye Family kid. I can understand that it was an accident," Xia Derong said coldly, "Then what about your smearing Shi Wei on the Internet? Saying that she is a mistress? Don't use the tricks you use to fool netizens to fool me! Whether this is marketing or spontaneous remarks by netizens, do you think I can't find out?!"
"How did I raise a daughter like you! Raised such an ungrateful person like you!" Xia Derong almost had a heart attack. Xia Yiwen and Xia Yuanzhou immediately stepped forward to help Xia Derong calm his breathing.
Xia Derong took a deep breath before finally recovering. When he looked at Xia Duoduo again, he became even angrier. He pointed at Xia Duoduo and unceremoniously declared, "Get out! Get out of the Xia Family. We don't have a daughter like you in the Xia Family!"
-
Xia Duoduo was driven out of the Xia Family on a thundering night.
She looked back at the villa where she had lived for 22 years. It wasn't until this moment that she clearly realized that she had nothing left.
-
On the other side, Sheng Family Manor
"Don't..thunder... Don't......"
Late at night, Sheng Jingchen suddenly woke up.
The wind was howling, while lightning and thunder were heard in the dark night.
Lightning cut through the sky and rumbling thunder resounded throughout the night.
Listening carefully, the villa was quiet. Only Shi Wei's voice, through the layers of barriers, reached his ears.
Sheng Jingchen couldn't help thinking of the scene after the last date- Shi Wei curling up in the back seat of the Rolls-Royce and trembling.
Was she curling up like last time tonight?
Shi Wei's voice continued. The noise reduction headphones seemed to be ineffective. Whenever there was thunder in the sky, Shi Wei's heart tightened.
A little worried, Sheng Jingchen turned over, put on a coat, and walked out of the room.
Outside the room, Housekeeper Wu paced back and forth in the corridor, looking agitated.
Seeing Sheng Jingchen coming out, Wu Butler immediately greeted him with a variety of headphones in his hands.
"Sir! It's bad! Two days ago, the new servant was cleaning the room and broke Miss Xia's headphones. I remembered that Miss Xia is a little afraid of thunder, so I found all the headphones in the house..."
Sheng Jingchen frowned, "Why don't you send it to her?"
Housekeeper Wu stiffly replied, "I, I can't find Miss Xia!"
Shi Wei wasn't in the room.
There was a large and bright floor-to-ceiling window in the room where Shi Wei slept. Every morning, the early sun shone through the distant mountains and layers of branches and fell on the floor of the room. The shadows of the trees were mottled and vague. The picture was warm and beautiful.
But in the same way, every night with lightning, the lightning that tore the sky was particularly obvious in the scenery framed by the floor-to-ceiling window.
"Help, help..."
"Host! Host! Are you okay!"
"No, no p... make it through, and it'll be fine-ah!"
The girl's words of comfort to the system were interrupted by a sudden lightning in the sky.
Housekeeper Wu was still anxious because he couldn't find Shi Wei.
Sheng Jingchen took the headphones from Housekeeper Wu, "You go and rest. I know where Shi Wei is."
The manor villa was large, European-style architecture, with a floor height of more than five meters, and Ionic architecture towering to the sky.
After passing through empty rooms, Sheng Jingchen finally found Shi Wei in a small storage room.
Opening the double-door wardrobe, Shi Wei was curling up in a corner like a small animal and covering her ears tightly.
Her face was as pale as paper, while her shoulders couldn't help shaking.
There was another dazzling light in the sky.
The next thing should be the terrifying thunder.
Shi Wei subconsciously shrank tighter.
But the expected thunder didn't fall. There was warmth on her ears. The headphones covered her ears and soothing piano music came from them.
The girl's eyes were blurred with tears as she looked up in confusion and saw Sheng Jingchen in front of her.
Even after getting engaged, she rarely had the opportunity to get so close to Sheng Jingchen.
The cold night was covered by the man's breath.
Shi Wei was stunned, with a hint of confusion on her slightly frowned brows.
But as the thunder fell from the sky, she got startled. As she was about to retreat and continue to curl up, the man stretched out his long arms and took her into his arms.
By her side was the man's warm body temperature, dispelling the long night full of thunder.
Shi Wei suddenly remembered many, many years ago.
At that time, she was only three years old. It was on such a rainy night that she curled up in the closet at home.
There were no headphones and no one to accompany her. Shi Wei heard the constant thunder in the sky, as well as the endless quarrels between Father Shi and mother Shi——
"Our family is already in a bad state. How much money do you make a month and you still want me to have more children?!"
"Who told you to give birth to a daughter? If Shi Wei is a boy, would I need to let you continue to give birth? I worked hard to take care of you for ten months, but in the end, you gave birth to such a wasteful thing!"
"It's not my decision whether to have a boy or a girl! You asked someone to fortune tell and calculated that the baby was a boy. Now you blame me when it’s a girl?!"
In the eyes of parents and grandfather, girls who will eventually get married were wasteful things.
Only boys were qualified to be included in the family tree.
Little Shi Wei didn't understand these. She only knew that she wasn't the child expected to be born.
That night, she curled up in the closet and had a high fever.
As consciousness gradually blurred, she called for help from her parents in the closet.
Children inherently relied on their parents. No matter how much their parents hate her, Shi Wei firmly believed that they were her parents.
After arguing for most of the day, Father Shi and Mother Shi finally noticed Shi Wei, who was running a high fever in the closet, and hurriedly carried her to the hospital.
Shi Wei was like a drowning person, grabbing Mother Shi's sleeves, as if grabbing the last straw to save her life.
But she couldn't believe it. Her parents actually... abandoned her under a banyan tree near the hospital.
They didn't want to raise her.
Initially she wasn't a wanted child and she had a high fever, they estimated that it would be difficult to raise her in the future.
There were already two girls in the family... So, they threw her away.
Anyway, who would know in the remote places in the countryside?
Sick, Shi Wei struggled to open her eyes in the cold night and saw the backs of her parents leaving resolutely.
The thunder in the sky made their leaving figures more obvious. It was probably at that time that Shi Wei was completely afraid of thunder.
Thunder and unexpectedly abandoned.
The cold wind mingled with the heavy rain fell on Shi Wei through the branches, soaking her clothes. The clothes weren’t thick to begin with.
Shi Wei felt that her consciousness was getting farther and farther away, and more and more blurred...
Similarly, it was still a warm embrace that held her shaky body.
It was Grandmother
Grandmother held Shi Wei and hurried to the pediatric department of the hospital.
When Shi Wei woke up, she found herself in the ward with a worried grandmother next to her.
Grandmother Shi gently stroked Shi Wei's small hair, tears in her eyes, and seriously stated, "Weiwei, be good. Grandmother will raise you in the future. Grandmother will always be by your side."
