"You're always the best at cozying up to the elders, right? For this matter, go to grandparents; I believe they will give you a fair answer," Xia Chuyi said with a tilt of her head, continuing to speak.
"And me, grandparents have always liked me the least, so, I really can't help you with this."
"Xia Chuyi, you..." Xia Lan bit her lip, a flash of resentment appearing in her eyes which she quickly concealed, turning instead to Mother Xia, "Second Aunt, you see, Chuyi misunderstands me..."
Mother Xia, dabbing her tears, meekly replied, "Er Lan, Chuyi is right... For this matter, it's up to your grandparents."
Surprisingly, she didn't try to speak up for Xia Lan.
But then again, for Mother Xia, the Xia Family is what mattered most.
Xia Lan fell silent for two seconds before she stopped pretending to cry and let out a cold laugh, "Hmph, I've always known, no one can be relied upon except oneself."
After saying that, she flung her hands and walked away directly.
