"You, you, you might not care about me, but you should at least think about your brother and your mother! Even if you don't care about your brother, you must think of your mom. She gave birth to you and raised you. You can't be so heartless!" Xie Qianqian's stepfather suddenly burst into tears, making it seem like he was the one abandoned by an ungrateful daughter.
Xie Qianqian was made immensely frustrated by this. She wasn't scared of these scoundrels; she just didn't want to escalate the situation. Not many people knew that she was He Qingyuan's illegitimate daughter. Everyone thought He Qingyuan had no children and had left his estate to his goddaughter after his death.
Xie Qianqian didn't want to tarnish He Qingyuan's reputation, for once such news got out, who knew what the media would turn it into, and many made-up stories would be exposed. Xie Qianqian didn't want that; she cared about her reputation.
