Chapter 81 She had known all along that she wasn't Xie's biological daughter.

As Ye Zhanying spoke, she didn't give Xie Wanying a chance to fight back. She dragged her along with one arm, like a pig, for two miles away from the hospital.

When Xie Wanying came, she specially changed into the new leather shoes she had bought yesterday. However, after being dragged around like that, the heels of the shoes were worn out.

Seeing that she was almost unable to breathe, Xie Wanying's eyes welled up with tears, looking very pitiful.

She kept patting Ye Zhanying's arm until they passed a bus stop, at which point Ye Zhanying finally stopped.

Xie Wanying gasped for breath, her heart bleeding as she looked at her worn-out leather shoes.

"Ye Zhanying, look what you've done! You've worn my shoes out!"

Ye Zhanying scoffed coldly, mimicking her tone sarcastically: "You've worn my shoes through! If you're ever this rude again, I'm going to drag you away with your face on my hands. Your skin is thicker than your shoes, maybe it won't break! Hahaha!"

After she finished speaking, she clapped her hands with a refreshed expression and strode away, leaving Xie Wanying behind, heartbroken and on the verge of tears, staring at the little leather shoes.

"Ye Zhanying, mind your own business!"

She stood up angrily, but could only slink home first and go to the hospital tomorrow.

Just then, the bus arrived, and she boarded it first; her parents were about to return from their vacation.

After completing the previous phase of research, both parents are highly likely to receive promotions.

She couldn't help but be anxious!

Xie Zhiyan has been away from home for the past few years, and she has enjoyed the treatment of a true only daughter of the Xie family.

She always gets the best things, her parents give her most of their salaries, and even her in-laws look up to her.

In fact, she knew very early on that she was not her family's biological child; she had vaguely sensed something when she was in school.

She did not inherit Xie Zhiyan's learning ability, athletic talent, or other aspects of his expertise.

Since Xie Zhiyan started school, the gap between the two has been widening.

Everyone around Xie Zhiyan said she was smart, and the most common compliment she received was for her well-behaved nature.

She studied late into the night, but her final exam results were always disappointing.

Even if parents didn't favor boys over girls when their children were young, no one would dislike a more outstanding child.

Xie Wanying was already very concerned, and after learning that she was not a biological child of the Xie family, she found it even more difficult to accept that she was an ordinary and incompetent person.

“Wanying seems to be struggling with her studies. Lately, I’ve noticed that the light in her room stays on very late. She’s a very ambitious child, but I’m worried that she’s putting too much pressure on herself. Lao Xie, do you think we should pay more attention to her mental health?”

When Xie Wanying was in junior high school, her mother passed by her room with a worried expression.

Mr. Xie put down his newspaper and said earnestly, "It's good that she has this ambition. If you go to her specifically, she might feel even more pressure. Studying has become her motivation. We, as parents, shouldn't interfere. If one day she really looks very tired and needs our help, then it's not too late for us to help her."

"As long as the child is healthy and happy, that's all that matters. We shouldn't worry too much about the rest."

Xie Wanying heard all of these words.

She initially thought her parents were just being affectionate towards her, but later she realized that they were clearly looking down on her!

I felt that even if she tried her best, she wouldn't be able to make any waves!

When news of Xie Zhiyan's sacrifice spread a few days ago, Xie Wanying was so happy that she couldn't sleep for several nights.

But now, this damned person has suddenly come back to life!

She longed for his death day and night, and now her wish was finally about to come true!

She's finally about to make it big!

I wanted to go to the hospital to find out some information, but I was ruthlessly kicked out.

In fact, Xie Wanying's husband, Fang Deshan, had already hinted at it to her.

“Although your parents prepared a lot of dowry for you when we got married, people’s hearts are biased. Over the years, they have made a lot of money in the research institute. When the two old people pass away, all the money will still end up in your brother’s hands.”

Fang Deshan glanced at her thoughtfully: "I'm telling you this for no particular reason. I just feel that since we're both your children, they should treat us equally. Although Xie Zhiyan is a son, he has a fixed salary and is married, so he doesn't have many expenses. But you're different."

Xie Wanying did start to think about it, as she made two sets of clothes almost every month.

When we have children, there will be expenses for their tuition, living expenses, and so on.

Furthermore, she has been living with her parents-in-law since she got married, and there are only a few bedrooms in this small building.

Once she gets pregnant and the child grows up, the house will be too small for them to live in.

Fang Deshan massaged her shoulders with both hands: "You know, we've lived in this house for so long, but it's not as comfortable as when you lived at home. Although I'm the factory director now, there are only a few housing slots available from the factory. Besides, the houses we get are small, so you and the kids won't be comfortable living here. If we have some money, we can get a bigger house and buy you more cosmetics. Then you'll have face when you go out to play mahjong!"

Xie Wanying looked at her face in the mirror, then looked up at the ceiling of the house.

"Actually, my parents have given me quite a bit of money over the years. Their combined salaries have basically been used to support us. If we want to move to a new house, we can just save up more money and tighten our belts for a couple of years until we can afford it."

Fang Deshan tightened his grip slightly: "What you said is true, but I'm just worried about you. The factory hasn't been doing well lately. If it really goes bankrupt, I'll be laid off. It's my fault for not being able to give you a good life."

He rolled his eyes and said thoughtfully, "But if your brother really sacrifices himself, not only will there be a large sum of compensation, but all the money your parents have will also be yours. You are their only child, so they will be even more dependent on you."

After Fang Deshan finished speaking, he immediately slapped himself in the mouth.

"Pah, pah, pah, what kind of talk is this? How can you curse your own brother-in-law?"

Xie Wanying picked up the coat next to her and put it on. Although her expression didn't change, she was indeed thinking about this matter.

Since Xie Zhiyan is already in this state, it would be best if he stayed in the hospital for the rest of his life and never woke up.

Thinking back to how Shu Ying had been taking Xie Zhiyan's pulse earlier that day, Xie Wanying was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

The doctor said Xie Zhiyan might not wake up, but this damned capitalist's daughter just had to come and join in the fun!

After all, Shu Ying had studied abroad and returned home. What if she really had some skills and he was saved by Shu Ying? Wouldn't she have worked for nothing?
