True or False Heiress: Becoming a Vicious Supporting Female Character (5)
Chu Xuan hurriedly pulled Wang Shasha, her face full of anxiety, trying to stop her. But Wang Shasha ignored her and went on, “Auntie, it’s been over two months. Chu Xiang has been bullying Xuanxuan at school all this time. I heard that you already knew about those incidents, so I won’t mention them. But today, Chu Xiang went too far. She knew that Xuanxuan couldn’t swim, yet she pushed her into the swimming pool. And afterward, she denied it, claiming that no one saw it and even threatened to report me for defamation.”
“What?” Mother Chu’s eyes widened, suspecting her own ears were playing tricks on her. “Are you saying that Chu Xiang intentionally pushed Xuanxuan into the water? How is that possible?”
“Auntie, if I hadn’t been there myself, I wouldn’t have believed it either. Chu Xiang is just that malicious! I’m sorry, I shouldn’t speak ill of your daughter. Xuanxuan has been stopping me from speaking up as well, but I’m straightforward, and I can’t bear to see her suffer so much. Auntie, forgive me for speaking frankly. Even though Chu Xiang is related to you by blood, she wasn’t raised by you, and her temperament is probably not like yours. Your most outstanding daughter has always been Xuanxuan. When you have the time, please be strict with Chu Xiang, don’t let her bully Xuanxuan anymore,” Wang Shasha felt awkward after saying all this in someone else’s home. Hence, she immediately took her leave.
Mother Chu still couldn’t believe it. She grabbed Chu Xuan and asked her, “Is what Wang Shasha said true? Chu Xiang, did she intentionally push you into the water? What does she want? Does she want to… to kill you?”
Mother Chu’s voice trembled, afraid that her own biological daughter could be so malicious, to the extent of having murderous intentions. How much hatred must there be to commit such an act?
Chu Xuan’s eyes were red, but she forced back her tears and reassured her mother with a smile, “Mom, it’s not that serious. It was just the swimming pool, with so many classmates around. It didn’t involve anyone’s life. It’s not that extreme. It was just a prank… No, it was my fault. I slipped and got scared and in a rush, I accidentally dragged my sister into the water too. She choked even worse than me. Oh, by the way!”
Chu Xuan suddenly grabbed Mother Chu and said, “When I went to take a bath in my room, Sister left in an ambulance by herself. I thought she would come back before me because she seemed fine. Mom, if Sister hasn’t returned home, she might be feeling very unwell. Let’s quickly find out which hospital she’s in and go see her.”
Mother Chu heard Wang Shasha’s words clearly. It was evident that Chu Xiang intentionally pushed Chu Xuan. But now, Chu Xuan was compromising and saying it was her own fault for slipping. It was normal for Chu Xuan, who couldn’t swim, to panic and accidentally drag Chu Xiang into the water. But Chu Xiang, who seemed fine, why would she go to the hospital? Was she trying to act pitiful? Since she could go to the ambulance by herself, how could she be feeling very unwell? She hasn’t even called home after being gone for so long. That child’s strange temperament made it impossible to know what she was thinking. She was so difficult to deal with.
Mother Chu blamed Chu Xiang in her heart and decided to call her. To her surprise, Chu Xiang’s phone was turned off. She had no choice but to ask the servant to call the hospitals near the vacation house and inquire one by one to see which one she was admitted to.
That troublesome child made her annoyed, while her daughter who had been in pain for 17 years made her heart ache. She hugged Chu Xuan and sighed, “Silly child, you’ve been wronged.”
“Mom…” Chu Xuan had come home for quite some time, but only now did her tears start to flow, causing Mother Chu to feel even more heartbroken. With the excuse of slipping, Chu Xuan made her mother fully believe that it was Chu Xiang who pushed her. It didn’t matter what Chu Xiang would say when she saw Mother Chu.
In the world, not everything has evidence. Whoever holds the power is right. In the Chu family, she would always be right. Even if Chu Xiang had almost died and came back to life today, she still wouldn’t be able to defeat her.
Half an hour later, the servant found the hospital where Chu Xiang was staying. Mother Chu instructed Chu Xuan to rest well and had the driver take her to the hospital. Upon arriving at the hospital, she heard from the nurse that Chu Xiang was in the best ward. Her expression became even more grim.
Just a choking incident in the water. Since she was already fine and could take the ambulance by herself, how serious could it be? It was truly a case of newfound wealth not knowing how to enjoy it properly. Going to the hospital for a check-up and insisting on staying in the best ward, it all reeked of a parvenu mentality that Mother Chu found repulsive.
When Mother Chu arrived at the ward, Chu Xiang was dreaming. She dreamt about the moment of transmigration with the original host. She was lifeless like a wooden puppet, devoid of any vitality, showing no will to survive in the pool. It was because the original host knew what awaited her upon reaching the shore, and what she would face after her parents found out. Again and again, she had had enough, losing any desire to struggle for survival.
If it weren’t for the original host’s determination to die and sink to the bottom of the water, how could Chu Xiang have easily drowned in the pool? Her classmates quickly went to rescue her at the time.
Chu Xiang told the original host that she wanted this body, and in exchange, she could have the Qiankun Mirror help the original host find a better reincarnation. When the original host heard these words, a glimmer appeared in her eyes.
“C-Can I be reincarnated? I won’t have to face Chu Xuan and all these people anymore?”
The 17-year-old girl’s face was filled with anxiety, unable to believe that such a good thing would come to her. She was unable to believe that she could be freed in this way.
Chu Xiang said to her, “Yes, you can have parents who love and care for you. Do you have any other wishes?”
The girl shook her head. “My biggest wish is to be loved and cherished by someone, and you’ve already made that come true. I-I don’t like this world. I don’t like Chu Xuan, she’s too terrifying.”
The girl, who had always cried alone in suppression, broke down and cried bitterly in front of Chu Xiang. Chu Xiang hugged her and softly said, “Go on, go and embrace your new life. Be a happy child.”
“Thank you…”
