My Fortune-Blessed Leading Lady-Chapter 391: The Elder Child: Otherwise, I’m Not Happy

Chapter 391: Chapter 391: The Elder Child: Otherwise, I’m Not Happy

Xia Ruyan bit her lip, her face filled with indignation and resentment, "Xia Ji, why do you always have to go against me? We are supposed to be a family, you..."

"Hold on, hold on, who is family with you? My bloodline is so pure it’s incredible. Who is your father, who had you through a proper marriage?" Xia Ji didn’t hold back in her sarcasm, which was extremely cutting.

Completely different from the front she put on in front of Yuran and the others. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Xia Ruyan was so affronted by Xia Ji’s verbal attack that she turned red in the face, feeling deeply humiliated.

Yes, she was an illegitimate daughter, but was that something she could choose? If she had any say over her birth, would she wish to be just an illegitimate daughter?

Xia Ji enjoyed countless favors from the Xia Family simply because of her legitimate status.

If she could choose, wouldn’t she want a pure status for herself? To not endure such humiliation?

Did Xia Ji think she coveted the Xia Family’s illegitimate daughter status?

Xia Ji seemed to need no deep thought to detect what Xia Ruyan was really thinking, and looked at her with a cold laugh, "You don’t have to feel aggrieved. Do you feel that,

given the choice, you wouldn’t choose to be an illegitimate daughter,

and moreover, you don’t covet the Xia Family’s illegitimate daughter status?"

Xia Ruyan, as if hit where it hurt, suddenly lost her composure and roared at her, "Isn’t that the case? Do you think I covet this illegitimate daughter status?"

Xia Ji sneered, her gaze filled with disdain, "Really, playing the saint when you’re nothing but a whore, utterly shameless."

Xia Ruyan glared furiously, "What are you trying to say?"

Xia Ji, "What am I trying to say? I’m mocking you. Can’t you tell?"

Xia Ruyan: "..."

Xia Ji crossed her arms, her gaze coolly falling on Xia Ruyan, "I’m actually very curious, if you detest the Xia Family’s illegitimate daughter status so much, why do you use your older brother’s name when you’re out and about, so all these resources and scripts land right in your lap?

Why do you use the Xia Family’s backing to package yourself as a famous top actress known by everyone?

If you detest everything the Xia Family offers so much, why is every cent you’ve earned to this day tinged with the Xia Family’s influence?

You really are too shameless.

I wish I could clean up after you for my older brother right now, stop pretending to be the perfect lotus flower, as a connoisseur of fakes, let me tell you."

When Xia Ji turned fierce, her youthful face seemed incongruent, not at all intimidating.

And it bore an inexplicable sense of comedy.

But the irate Xia Ruyan, losing her temper, glared at Xia Ji, not knowing if it was out of spite or something else, spewed words without thinking, "You are just taking advantage of the Xia Family’s guilt towards you.

Isn’t it you who can do whatever you want? Who’s the bigger whore here is you, so what high ground are you pretending to stand on?

How much better are you really? If you really have the guts, don’t come back!"

Xia Ji clicked her tongue, "You are truly vile. If I don’t come back, do you think you can take over everything that’s mine? You’re too full of yourself, or is it that you underestimate my brother and grandfathers?

Do you think they are idiots?"

...

In the living room, witnessing the whole event, the trio of ’idiots’: "..."

The old Master Xia cleared his throat softly, looking at the number one ’idiot’ beside him, "Xiaxia was talking about you two, it has nothing to do with me, the housecat over there, one of the idiots, she’s talking about you three."

Xia Yu, Xia Chui: "..."

The old patriarch’s self-deceiving spirit was acceptable, after all, being scolded by his beloved granddaughter was really not something to be happy about.

Being someone so concerned about face, he naturally wouldn’t think of himself as one of the fools.

Xia Chui had been gentle toward the old patriarch and his own younger brother, and he had also considered their blood relation over the years, helping Xia Ruyan a lot. But nobody had ever given Xia Ruyan the privilege to be so defiant toward her younger sister.

Moreover, the family being so good to the younger sister had nothing to do with that incident involving the younger brother-in-law in the past.

Even if it did, wasn’t that a given?

It wasn’t her chip to use in attacking the younger sister.

Xia Yu, as Xia Ruyan’s half-brother on their father’s side, felt an even more intense and direct hatred toward Xia Ruyan.

He stood up from the sofa, ready to rush out but was grabbed by Xia Chui. Xia Yu, with red eyes, struggled, "Brother, let go of me."

Xia Chui firmly grasped his wrist, "Second brother, don’t be impulsive. Xia Ruyan is not someone to be afraid of for the little sister. You don’t have to worry about her;

and on your part, you don’t have to feel guilty because of Xia Ruyan’s words."

Xia Yu dropped his gaze, his voice cold to the extreme, "It’s not that I feel sorry for the little sister because of my own issues—I can’t stand seeing Xia Ruyan’s face that looks similar to mine;

big brother, for all these years, I haven’t interfered much because you told me holding grudges wouldn’t bring pleasure;

but now, since I don’t hold a grudge, does she think that she is actually recognized by the Xia Family?

Is that why she has the nerve to bully the little sister today?

I’ll go out now and teach her a lesson, letting her clearly see that for the little sister, the Xia Family’s word is law.

The little sister’s happiness is the most important thing. What’s it to us if we all serve her?

What right does she have to be so disrespectful, and who gave her the audacity?"

Xia Chui’s face turned ashen, rare self-reflection creeping in, "I am to blame for this. I gave her the audacity, which made her believe that she always had a place in our family."

The old master straightened his expression, instructing firmly, "I don’t care how you manage the Xia Family, but Xia Chui, the things Xia Ruyan said today, I’m very displeased with them.

If Xiaxia is unhappy later, don’t you come back tomorrow. If Xiaxia sees you, it will make her even more unhappy."

Xia Chui: "...Grandfather...I..."

The old patriarch raised his hand, stopping Xia Chui from talking, "Shut up, you don’t need to say anything. I don’t want to hear it right now. Anyway, you have made our family Xiaxia suffer, and that’s an indisputable fact. If Xiaxia doesn’t forgive you, we won’t either; I won’t forgive you either, so just don’t come back home to be a nuisance."

Xia Chui: "..."

Xia Yu looked incredulously at his grandfather, his eyebrows knitting together, "Grandfather, won’t this be too ruthless toward the big brother?"

The old patriarch kept a stern face, "Second child, let me tell you, if you don’t stand with me, then you also shouldn’t bother coming back in the future. You and your big brother can go live wherever you please."

Xia Yu, caught in the crossfire while lying down: "..."

It wasn’t easy for the favoritism to reach this level even with his own grandfather. But did Xiaxia even appreciate it?

Yet Xia Chui accepted this, "Grandfather, I understand what to do. I promise you, as long as Xiaxia doesn’t want to see me, I won’t come back, and I won’t upset her."

The old patriarch nodded repeatedly, "That’s how it should be. You make sure to act on what you say, okay? Otherwise, I will be upset too."

Xia Chui: "...Yes, grandfather."
