Volume 1: First Encounter with You Chapter 7: Family's Humiliation
When Xia Zhitong woke up, he was surrounded by a crowd of people staring at him like a monster.
She lowered her head, her clothes not covering her body, with hickeys of varying depths on her neck and collarbone. Especially when she could feel the scorching heat on both cheeks, her disheveled hair made her look like a wanton woman!
Nothing dared to explain, the medicine seemed to have passed, she used all her strength, lowered her head, covered her face with long hair, and didn't dare to shed tears, rushed out of the gate, and quickly escaped from this ghost place that made her ashamed and inhuman!
"Bang!"
A scorching slap on her humiliated and wounded heart, sprinkling a handful of salt!
Xia Zhitong was struck by this sudden slap, and the tears that had refused to fall earlier finally rolled silently down her delicate face.
"Stop pretending to be innocent and pure over there! You little rascal! Don't you see what time it is? On the first day back in the country, you're out till late at night!"
The "mother" standing at the door, obviously just returned from a shopping spree in Paris, was dressed elegantly and had a seductive makeup that made her look like she was only in her thirties. However, her sharp and bitter expression didn't show any of the elegance of a wealthy lady.
Lin Meijin, the second woman in Father's life, the mother of younger sister Xia Yuxue, and the mistress of this house! The mother of Xia Zhongtang, although she was Father's first woman, but because she did not register her marriage with Father, ultimately became the third person who destroyed other people's families!
Lin Meijin grabbed Xia Zhitong's disheveled hair, her face twisted in rage, and poked his forehead repeatedly with her finger. "A girl who studied abroad would be so shameless?! Your father saw it, he'd vomit blood! Your mother lying in the coffin must also jump out of the coffin in anger!"
Xia Zhitong was already used to such accusations, because every time she returned home, Lin Meijin would say that more than a decade ago, her mother had brought herself from the countryside to the city to find her father, and turn it into a carefully planned conspiracy to destroy other people's families.
"That old man is still obsessed with you, humph! I really don't know what's going on in his head, he's so eager for you to return home! What's wrong with him this time!"
Lin Meijin scolded for more than half an hour before finally allowing Xia Zhitong to enter.
Xia Zitong hung her head, her long hair covering her tattered clothes, as she was embarrassingly scrutinized by the villa's servants with contemptuous eyes.
How ridiculous, the young lady of the Xia family, actually looks down on even a servant, let alone her sister Xia Yinxue, who sits elegantly like a princess in the grand hall, quietly reading fashion magazines.
As soon as she saw Xia Yinxue, Xia Zhitong's anger could no longer be suppressed, and it surged up like a stormy sea. She strode towards Xia Yinxue, snatched the fashion magazine out of her sister's hands, and then slammed it heavily to the ground!
"Xia ZiTong, have you gone mad?!" Princess Xia Yinxue's dignified image was nowhere to be seen as she stood up from the luxurious Italian-made sofa, her round eyes wide with discontent staring at Xia ZiTong.
"I'm crazy..." Xia Zhitong's lips curled up coldly, her icy hands brushed through her disheveled long hair, and a pair of eyes that seemed warm but were actually firm and proud stared straight at Xia Yinxue. "I must be crazy to agree to do something so despicable!"
Thinking back to being verbally and physically humiliated by the man, and then having all the guests at the ancient castle mansion gossiping and fleeing back home, Xia Zhitong's heart felt like it had been stabbed with countless knives!
Xia Yunxue was taken aback for a moment, then put on an air of nonchalance and asked, "You useless fool, have you settled it or not?"
"Is there only yourself in your eyes?" Xia Zhitong asked back.
"What?" Xia Yinxue seemed to be puzzled by Xia Zhitong's question.
"I know you and supermodel Xue Li are not on good terms. You, a small-time celebrity who can't make it big, tried to take down her by using Xiao Jing as leverage against me, putting anesthetic in Han Shi Kai's food, taking indecent photos of her, and sending them to the magazine company, so she would be plagued with negative news. Do you think that by doing this, you could rise to fame and bring Xue Li down?!
Xià Zhī Tóng gritted his teeth and continued, "For your own success, you didn't hesitate to hurt your own sister, switching the anesthetic with aphrodisiacs, almost making me... almost!!" Xià Zhī Tóng's face turned red as he struggled to speak, "Are you happy about what you did?!"
Xia Yunxue was taken aback, gave Xia Zhentong a cold glance, and walked to his side with her princess-like haughty demeanor. She tossed out a sentence in a chilly tone, "No, I love my family very much, but - you're not! You're an illegitimate child! I don't need to care about your feelings."
Bastard daughter, the last bloodless slash!
It was ruthlessly chopped into Xia Zong's heart, painful, but powerless to argue.
Is it... that a bastard child is destined to be inferior, destined to do some things that no one else will do, and do some lowly and contemptible things?
