Chapter 83 The Sister in the True and False Jin Wen (24)
Chapter 83 The Sister in the True and False Jin Wen (24)
After staying in the hospital for a few days, Zhao Qingruo was unwilling to stay any longer. She felt that apart from her left foot, which required a hundred days of rest and recovery, she had fully recovered and could go home to recuperate.
Unable to dissuade her, Leyan took her home.
Because of some mutual taboos, everyone maintained a distance and balance under one roof, and neither side caused any further trouble.
During this time, Tong Yu also had a conversation with Chen Xi.
Looking at her youngest daughter, who was switched at birth, and seeing that face that looked so much like her own when she was young, Tong Yu couldn't help but feel heartache and maternal love.
Chen Xi naturally liked her biological mother, but she could never stop worrying about her adoptive mother.
She pleaded earnestly, "Mom, Ms. Chen did commit a crime, but she has always felt remorse and guilt all these years. She has always been very good to me and has never mistreated me. So, please, don't call the police and hold her accountable?"
Chen Xi knew in her heart that what Ms. Chen did was wrong and hurt her biological mother and Zhao Qingruo. But for the past seventeen years, Ms. Chen had always cared for her, loved her, and tried her best to give her a good life. She had never hurt her.
Although she might not be replaced and her life would be better, at least she wouldn't be poor, for her, being poor is better than having no hobbies.
To put it bluntly, seeing the suffering Zhao Qingruo has endured over the past seventeen years, she would secretly feel fortunate that she herself had been replaced back then.
This despicable scheming made Chen Xi feel ashamed.
But it was precisely because she had lived well for the past seventeen years and Ms. Chen had been so good to her that she thought of asking her biological mother for forgiveness.
Conversely, if she is not doing well, she will not think of letting Ms. Chen off the hook.
After all, people are always self-interested. They only think about benefiting others when they are doing well themselves. So Chen Xi didn't think that his thinking was too much. After all, that's reality.
Tong Yu stared intently at her youngest daughter, then suddenly sighed, shook her head, and chuckled.
"Why do I always feel like you're the one who's always lived the life of a rich heiress?"
Compared to her darling, Xiao Xi seems innocent and naive, but in reality, she sees through everything and is very good at weighing pros and cons. She always considers things from the perspective of her own benefit, just like Zhao Cheng.
Tong Yu sighed inwardly, but also felt that this was for the best, at least it would be much smoother for Xiao Xi to integrate into the circle of the wealthy in the future.
After thinking for a moment, Tong Yu looked up at Chen Xi, nodded, and said, "Since you don't intend to pursue her mistakes, then Mom will agree to your terms."
"But Xiaoxi, you have to change your surname to Tong, which is your mother's surname. In the future, your mother's business will be inherited by you."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xi was shocked. "Me?"
She wasn't surprised that she was going to change her surname, but rather that she was going to inherit Tong Yu's business.
She frowned. "What about my sister?"
Shouldn't my sister inherit my mother's business?
Seeing through Chen Xi's thoughts, Tong Yu softened her expression, gently stroked her head, and said with a smile, "Your sister, she wants to inherit everything from the Zhao family."
Unlike Zhao Cheng, she wasn't cold-hearted; she had two beloved daughters.
Since Zhao Cheng is going to hand over the entire Zhao family to his eldest daughter, she should make up for it by giving her younger daughter a share of the inheritance. Naturally, the Tong family's possessions should be given to her younger daughter.
"But if that's the case, what about my sister...?"
Chen Xi still felt this was not right. She didn't care what her biological father was like, since she didn't acknowledge him as her father anyway.
For her, it was unfair that her mother entrusted everything to her to inherit, as if her mother had favored the younger sister over the older one.
"You," Tong Yu was amused by Chen Xi's reaction. She tapped Chen Xi's forehead and said helplessly, "Don't you think about it? When has your mother ever mistreated your sister?"
Although she didn't only care about her eldest daughter like Zhao Cheng did, she still loved her eldest daughter the most. She would make up for the shortcomings of her younger daughter, but she would also give her eldest daughter everything she was entitled to.
Chen Xi tilted her head slightly, seemingly understanding but not quite, but seeing Tong Yu's serious expression and recalling how much her mother loved her sister these past few days, she nodded in belief.
However, she secretly resolved that no matter what her parents did, her sister should have everything she had, and she would definitely bring back anything her sister wanted.
Having set lofty goals, the sister-obsessed fan, now known as Tong Xi, began to work hard.
She and Zhao Qingruo worked hard to learn the knowledge at school, while also trying to master the rules of the wealthy family. At the same time, they tried to stick by their older sister's side every day as her protectors, preventing those guys with bad intentions from getting close to their sister.
The two of them were so exhausted that they really didn't have the energy to do anything else.
They behaved themselves, and so did Zhao Weizhou and Zhao Mufeng.
The only one who wasn't quite settled was Ning Zhiyu.
The girl was very flustered.
Ever since Le Yan gained two younger sisters, she felt that her position was threatened. From now on, she would no longer be the only girl by Le Yan's side, and many of the little perks of being close and affectionate would no longer belong to her.
After Ning Zhiyu felt increasingly uneasy about the situation, she shamelessly moved into the Zhao family's house.
After she tricked her grandfather into taking her grandmother, who didn't like her, on a trip, she pretended to be scared to live alone in such a big villa and begged Leyan for help, successfully moving into her room.
"Sister Yan Yan, it's been so long since we slept together, I miss your bed so much!"
Ning Zhiyu cheered in front of Le Yan, but as soon as she entered the house, she realized that something was wrong.
Standing in front of that three-meter-wide bed, Ning Zhiyu fell into deep thought.
"Sister Yan, why does it seem like your bed is getting bigger and bigger?"
She spread her arms out, trying to measure the length of the bed; she suspected she could roll eight times on it.
Le Yan smiled and explained to her, "Ruo Ruo and Xiao Xi both said they had never lived in a villa before, and they felt that villas were too big and they were scared to live in them, so they both came to squeeze in with me to sleep."
"Mom was worried that we wouldn't be comfortable sleeping, so she had a three-meter-long bed custom-made. She said that this way, she wouldn't have to worry about us rolling off the bed while we were sleeping."
Ning's words: "..."
She was speechless. Damn it, how come this excuse sounds so much like hers!
With Zhao Qingruo and Tong Xi also there, is it still possible for her to snuggle in Sister Yan's sweet and soft arms to sleep?
The image of her having to fight Zhao Qingruo and Tong Xi for a bed flashed through her mind, and Ning Zhiyu almost burst into tears.
In a one-on-two situation, the advantage is not in her favor!
