Chapter 223 The Tragedy of a Dancer (6)
Xia Mingwei raised her head, her eyes fixed on her mother.
"Mother, sometimes I'm really curious. Am I really your child?"
Perhaps Xia Mingwei's gaze was too direct, because Xia's mother guiltily turned her head away.
Her tone was slightly unnatural, but she still stubbornly insisted, "You are the person I carried for ten months and finally brought into this world, of course you are my child!"
"In my heart, you and your younger siblings are equally important! It's just that they are young, so as their older sister, you need to be more sensible and take better care of them!"
Fearing that Xia Mingwei might have other inappropriate thoughts, she quickly added from the side.
"In that case, I'm relieved!"
Xia Mingwei smiled at her mother, as if her previous aggressive behavior was just an illusion.
"Mingwei, what about your brother studying abroad...?"
"I'll think of other ways to make money!"
Upon hearing this, Xia's mother suppressed her excitement and gave Xia Tianyao a reassuring look.
He looked so confident, as if he had already predicted that Xia Mingwei would eventually give in.
Seeing this, Xia Tianyao finally felt relieved.
That's good, then all my current problems can be easily solved!
Xia Mingwei was extremely satisfied with the interaction between the two.
Laugh now, because after this period, you probably won't even be able to cry anymore!
"Mom, you said that my younger brother and sister and I are all your children, and you have to treat them all equally, right?"
Xia's mother's heart skipped a beat, and the smile on her face froze instantly.
"Of course, Mother treats you all equally!"
She had no idea what Xia Mingwei was up to, so she could only go along with her and answer.
"From today onwards, I will enjoy the same treatment as my younger siblings. You have no objections, right? As the older sister, I always tolerated things in the past, and you have to make it up to me!"
"It's natural!"
Xia Ming smiled with satisfaction after getting the answer, and walked over to put on a friendly gesture as she took her mother's arm.
Xia's mother was startled by her sudden action, after all, she and her eldest daughter had never been so affectionate before!
She desperately wanted to pull her arm away, but she was afraid that if she did, Xia Mingwei would use it as an excuse to refuse to pay the money, which would be a real problem!
So he could only endure the embarrassment and extreme stiffness in his body as Xia Mingwei held him.
"Mother, starting today, I want to stay in that room!"
Xia's mother and Xia Tianyao followed Xia Mingwei's finger and looked over, then paused in surprise.
The owner of that room was none other than Xia Mingzhu.
"Why should I? This is my room, and I don't agree to this!"
Before Xia's mother could speak, the suggestion was interrupted.
Xia Mingzhu stormed in, her face contorted with rage, and pointed at Xia Mingwei, yelling, "That's my room! What right do you have to live there? What gives you the right to stay here?"
"Let me tell you, I already feel ashamed enough because of your job. Now you want to take my room? I'm telling you, no way!"
In fact, Xia Mingwei had already sensed Xia Mingzhu eavesdropping outside the door. Her request was simply an attempt to incite infighting among them.
"Mother, I've already sacrificed enough for this family. Can't I even change rooms?"
Xia Mingwei chose to pass this difficult problem on to her mother. She wanted to see how this family could still "love each other" without the original owner of the body who had made such a sacrifice.
"Mother, say something!"
Xia Mingzhu tugged at her mother's sleeve and said in a coquettish tone.
She knew that Xia's mother was most susceptible to this approach. In the past, she had always gotten whatever she wanted this way!
But this time, she was disappointed.
Xia's mother hesitated for only a moment before making her decision.
"I think your sister is right. You should give up your room so your sister can stay here!"
Xia Mingzhu stared at her mother in disbelief, wondering why she would say such a thing.
"Mother, do you know what you're saying? You're telling me to give up my room for her?"
"If she's staying in this room, where am I supposed to stay?"
"I don't care, I want to stay in this room! I'm not giving up my room!"
Xia Mingzhu was used to being domineering in this family. Even the lowest-ranking member of the family wanted to take her things—did she even deserve that?
"Mingwei, I think your sister has a point. That room is where she's used to living. She has a lot of stuff, and it's hard to move yours either, so why don't we just leave it at that!"
After all, she was her daughter whom she had doted on for many years, so Xia's mother couldn't bear to do it and wanted to make a big deal out of it but let it go quietly.
At this moment, Xia Mingwei spoke up, feigning kindness, "My sister and I can switch rooms. I don't have much stuff in my room anyway, it won't be a bother!"
Now that things have come to this point, continuing to play dumb would be truly foolish!
"In that case, Mingzhu, why don't you switch places with your sister!"
"There's no time like the present, let's do it today!"
Xia Mingwei pressed on relentlessly, her words showing no sign of backing down.
Upon hearing this, Xia Mingzhu couldn't help but widen her eyes.
"Mom, you've gone too far! Why do you want me to give up my room? I hate you!"
Xia's mother's offer of the room was merely a delaying tactic. She never expected her usually obedient eldest daughter to become so difficult, and her younger daughter to be so inconsiderate.
In a fit of anger and frustration, he slapped Xia Mingzhu.
Xia Mingzhu, who had never suffered such humiliation before, covered her swollen face and ran out.
Watching her retreating figure, Xia's mother opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end, she said nothing.
Xia Tianyao and Xia Mingzhu are twins from the same mother and have been playing together since childhood. Their bond is naturally stronger than Xia Mingwei's.
Before Xia's mother could speak, Xia Tianyao roared, "Is this your goal? Can't you stand to see this family doing well?"
"We've been together for so many years, and you only want to move rooms now, causing such chaos in the house. I think you just can't stand seeing this family be harmonious!"
Xia Mingwei didn't want to waste her breath arguing with him, so she turned to look at her mother, "Mother, you heard what Tianyao said, do you share the same opinion?"
Xia's mother didn't speak, turning her head to the other side. Right now, she was regretting that slap she had just given!
In her heart, she completely agreed with what Xia Tianyao said. What she didn't say aloud was simply spoken through Xia Tianyao's words!
If this had happened to the original owner of this body, under such strong criticism, she would probably have doubted whether she had really done something wrong.
But now that it's Xia Mingwei, the thoughts are completely different!
Who cares about all that, just do it!
