True or False Heiress: Becoming a Vicious Supporting Female Character (9)
In the past, their immediate reaction would have been to marvel at Chu Xuan’s kindness. However, Chu Xiang’s remark about “children from wealthy families” put them in the same category, and they immediately resisted the idea. If someone dared to treat them like this, they would have hated that person to the core. Even if they switched identities, real or fake heiress, it wouldn’t matter. It was the hospital’s fault, not their own. Why was Chu Xuan so magnanimous? Was she the Virgin Mary, perhaps?
Chu Xuan also realized this point, and her heart skipped a beat. She wanted to highlight her own kindness and magnanimity. If she clashed and had conflicts with Chu Xiang, fewer people would sympathize with her. This method had always worked well, so why was it suddenly dismantled and shattered by Chu Xiang today, leaving a layer of hypocritical veil?
Just as they were contemplating these things, Chu Xiang expressed her confusion, “Isn’t there a term called ‘the Madonna’? It refers to someone who can overlook and forgive others no matter how outrageous their actions are. So, is Chu Xuan the Madonna?”
“The Madonna” was not a positive term now. Saying that seemed like an insult to Chu Xuan. However, it was actually the best description of her behavior, causing all the students’ gaze to fall on her.
Chu Xiang spoke up again before Chu Xuan could say anything, “Chu Xuan, what do you think when you say, ‘I believe it wasn’t my sister who did it,’ to others? Are you sincere? Or are you just saying it without much thought? You firmly believe that I’m responsible for everything, so why do you say such things to your classmates? The words a saint should say are, ‘Although my sister has done so many wrong things, I don’t blame her,’ right? By firmly believing it was me internally but denying it externally, aren’t you being what they call a ‘hypocrite’?”
“Chu Xiang!” Wang Shasha, who had been pondering Chu Xiang’s words, was jolted awake by the term “hypocrite” and immediately glared at Chu Xiang.
Chu Xiang looked innocent, “What’s wrong? I was just expressing my doubts sincerely. Isn’t this kind of behavior considered ‘hypocritical’? What else would you call it? ‘Fake innocent’? Didn’t you think I was stupid? Can’t I ask for advice from my classmates?”
Chu Xuan stared at Chu Xiang with a scrutinizing gaze for a few seconds. With classmates all around, she dared not look any longer, and tears welled up as she blinked. “Sister… Chu Xiang, I have used your identity for 17 years, always feeling indebted to you. Mom and Dad adopted me as their daughter, and I was afraid you would feel uncomfortable. I thought you needed time to adjust, so I didn’t hold you accountable for what you did…”
Chu Xiang didn’t let her continue. She acted as if she suddenly realized something, clapped her hands, and then she said, “So that’s it! You generously let me have my way. You truly live up to being a child from a wealthy family. A prime minister’s belly must indeed be big enough to sail a boat. You’re much stronger than me. I, on the other hand, hold grudges. Whoever makes me unhappy, I’ll make them even more unhappy. I can’t achieve your level of repaying grievances with kindness and enduring all the grievances.”
Chu Xiang furrowed her brows slightly and spread her hands, saying, “But I really didn’t do those so-called misdeeds. I wanted to explain it to everyone every single time, but before I had the chance, you interceded for me. I didn’t get the opportunity to speak. Today, I solemnly declare once again that I didn’t do those things. If I did, I would have the courage to admit it.
If you truly feel indebted to me, I hope that in the future, when we encounter such situations again, Chu Xuan, as my sister, you can trust me a little more. Don’t immediately believe those who try to sow discord. A family cannot move forward without trust. I hope that at least you can speak a few good words for me and believe in our own family, rather than trusting unrelated outsiders. Otherwise, I will continue to be misunderstood and disliked by classmates and parents. It’s really difficult for me to adapt to this new identity, after all. I never expected that returning to my own home would be such a painful thing.”
Chu Xuan felt that nothing she said now would be right. If she said she believed Chu Xiang, what about all her previous pleas? If she said she didn’t believe Chu Xiang, then her concern and goodwill towards her would appear fake, right? Without solid evidence, why couldn’t she trust Chu Xiang?
Tears streamed down Chu Xuan’s face as if they were endless. Compared to Chu Xiang’s assertiveness, it seemed like she was being bullied by her again, to the point where she couldn’t speak up under her twisted reasoning. Wang Shasha held her wrist and frowned. She exclaimed, “She’s crazy! All she does is argue! Xuanxuan, just ignore her and stay away from her in the future!”
Wang Shasha, being the good best friend as always, protected Chu Xuan and took her to the restroom, breaking the awkward situation. But even though she was cursing, she lacked her previous confidence. For some reason, she felt a bit weakened. In the restroom, she kept thinking about Chu Xiang’s words.
Is Chu Xuan really a Madonna? Because she feels guilty for being adopted by the Chu family, she keeps accommodating Chu Xiang time and time again? If she simply forgives, why does she tell everyone that she believes it wasn’t Chu Xiang who did it? Wang Shasha recalled that even the day before when Chu Xiang threatened to sue her for defamation. She asked Chu Xuan to expose Chu Xiang’s true nature, but she didn’t show much response. Her tolerance for Chu Xiang seemed boundless. Can she even sacrifice her friends?
This was just too absurd!
