She didn’t see her stepsister and stepbrother, which made sense, because her stepsister always felt that their father favored her, his own daughter, even if they didn’t live together.
However, whenever they met, they would always belittle her a little.
Sometimes her stepsister would collude with her stepmother to withhold Qin Xue’s allowance when her father tried to give it to her.
Fortunately, Qin Xue had her grandparents, who were wealthy and took care of her, so she didn’t have a hard life.
Later, when Qin Xue started to work, she stopped taking any money from her father and his family.
Instead, she managed to live a cheerful life with her grandparents despite the way they treated her.
This was all thanks to her grandmother’s careful guidance while her grandfather would often sit by her side, fiddling with his medicinal herbs.
Her grandparents would often look at her and smile, and her grandmother’s favorite thing to do was to hold Qin Xue close and say:
“Our Qin Xue is the most beautiful girl in the world, and the kindest child. They don’t like Qin Xue and belittle her because they’re jealous of her. They’re not as beautiful or as kind as our Qin Xue. Just remember that your mother is a fairy in the sky, watching over you as you grow up. And your grandparents are always behind you, loving you the most.
So all you need to do is live a happy life and let your father, stepmother, and stepsister regret their actions later on. It’s because your grandmother often says these things to Qin Xue.”
Qin Xue felt that as long as she lived a happy life, her grandparents would be happy.
As a result, Qin Xue was not only unhurt by her father and stepmother, but she lived an even happier life than before.
Perhaps it was because of this that her stepsister hated her even more?
She thought she lived a hard life without her father’s affection, while Qin Xue lived happily without a mother and no father by her side.
Qin Xue, as a child, didn’t understand that her stepsister was probably just jealous of her.
Qin Xue was smart and quickly caught on to her stepsister’s bullying, which she told her grandmother about.
Her grandparents had never approved of her father’s remarriage so soon after Qin Xue’s mother had passed away.
Furthermore, they resented his new wife for having their beloved granddaughter sent to live with them. So their attitude towards Qin Xue’s stepmother never really changed, even after she gave birth to Qin Jing, their stepbrother.
One could say that the people Qin Xue was most grateful for in her life were her mother and her grandparents.
The scene changed to her father’s house. Why was it called her father’s house?
Because Qin Xue had no place there.
She didn’t even have her own room. Whenever she visited, she had to sleep in the guest room, which would always be cleaned by the housekeeper immediately after she left.
Qin Xue’s belongings would always be cleared away. So now, standing here, she wondered why she was here. Was this a dream or an out-of-body experience? If it was a dream, why would she see these things?
But if it was an out-of-body experience, why would she return here after she died? Was there a reason?
This was her father’s house, and Qin Xue saw that there were no housekeepers present. In one of the rooms, her stepsister was arguing with her stepbrother about something.
Qin Xue heard her name mentioned, and she thought that she had never been close to them in life.
Now that she was dead, she could hear them arguing over her. Curious, she wanted to listen to what they were arguing about.
“Qin Jing, you ungrateful wretch, I’m your real sister! How dare you fight with me over Qin Xue, that slut!”
That was her stepsister, Qin Huan’s voice. She had changed her last name to Qin after her mother married Mr. Xie.
“Sister, you really are my sister. But if I had a choice, I’d rather not have such a ruthless sister like you. You may be my sister, but Qin Xue is also my sister. Even though my relationship with her wasn’t particularly good, I didn’t try to hurt her like you did.”
That was her stepbrother, Qin Jing’s voice. What did he mean by that? Did he mean that she had harmed Qin Xue?
Did he mean that her death was no accident?
