Chapter 224 The Tragedy of a Dancer (7)
"I said I wanted to change rooms, not because Mom said so. Are you going to treat everyone the same?"
"But that room has always been occupied by your younger sister. She's gotten used to it over the years. You're the eldest sister, you shouldn't be arguing with her!"
Upon hearing Xia's mother's words, Xia Mingwei's smile immediately vanished.
"Mother, it was clearly you who made the decision, so why are you blaming me now?"
"I can't take this accusation of sisterly discord that you've put on me!"
"Besides, the only reason you're willing to let me stay in this room is because I promised to find a way to help my brother study abroad. Otherwise, would you have agreed?"
Xia's mother wanted to question Xia Mingwei, but Xia Mingwei showed no mercy and directly exposed all her secrets, making Xia's mother lose face.
"Or perhaps I should say that I'm not staying in this room anymore, and you should find someone else to handle my brother's studies abroad!"
"How can that be done!"
Xia's mother almost instinctively retorted, speaking with absolute certainty.
"Mingwei, your sister is still young, and she does have a bit of a temper! I'll talk to her again and then you can stay in this room without worry!"
Xia's mother finally made the decision.
Xia Mingwei scoffed inwardly. What do you mean by loving your daughter? When it comes to Xia Tianyao, you can only step aside.
"If there's nothing else, I'll go change rooms!"
After saying this, Xia Mingwei ignored their expressions and left happily.
"Mother, do we really have to do this?"
Xia Tianyao just couldn't stand Xia Mingwei's stubbornness and kept pressing her for answers.
He wasn't necessarily seeking "justice" for Xia Mingzhu; he simply didn't want Xia Mingwei to have an easy time, or for her to benefit so easily. Someone as filthy as her deserves to be at the very bottom of the family hierarchy!
"Just bear with it for now! We'll return the room to you once we get the money for your studies abroad!"
Xia's mother thought Xia Tianyao was concerned about Xia Mingzhu, and said with a hint of reassurance.
"I don't know what's wrong with your older sister lately, she's been so irritable! You should avoid provoking her for now, and let her raise the money for your overseas studies first!"
Despite his reluctance, Xia Tianyao had no choice but to agree.
Their conversation, relayed by Xiao Ba, naturally reached Xia Mingwei's ears.
Unfortunately, their plan was destined to fail.
After moving the original owner's few belongings to the room, Xia Mingwei decided to reciprocate by exchanging Xia Mingzhu's things as well.
The process wasn't exactly pleasant, the movements weren't exactly gentle, and naturally, the ending wasn't good either.
The once neat clothes were now wrinkled and crumpled, some of the expensive clothes were stained with ink, and the contents of the makeup box were scattered all over the floor.
Although these things could be exchanged for money, Xia Mingwei didn't care. It would be truly infuriating to let that ungrateful wretch continue using the money she had worked so hard to earn!
Xia Mingwei expressed that she was very satisfied with the result!
Xia Mingzhu returned when the items had been almost completely ruined.
She was furious at the slap from Xia's mother. After all, in all her life, Xia's mother had only laid a handful of hands on her.
But now, even that bitch Xia Mingwei can act arrogantly and domineeringly over her. How can she not be angry?
She ran away hoping to give Xia's mother a chance. She wanted Xia's mother to back down and she could also get some benefits from it.
But no one came, and it was getting dark. Hungry and cold, she had no choice but to slink back.
Who would have thought that I would witness this scene?
"You bitch, I'm going to kill you!"
Because of her anger, Xia Mingzhu's eyes turned bloodshot, and she spoke through gritted teeth.
When it comes to fighting, the most basic methods are nothing more than slapping someone's face and pulling their hair.
Seeing Xia Mingzhu lunge at her menacingly, Xia Mingwei remained completely calm. On the contrary, she was excited, feeling a surge of excitement coursing through her veins.
Sure enough, when Xia Mingzhu was less than half a meter away from her, she grabbed her wrist.
Xia Mingzhu tried to break free, but found that her strength was frightening.
Before she could utter any more rude or inappropriate words, a slap landed on her face.
"You bitch, how dare you hit me?"
Xia Mingzhu's eyes were filled with resentment; she looked as if she wanted to devour Xia Mingwei alive.
This question is practically a standard one from a palace intrigue drama from a past life, and Xia Mingwei naturally gave her a kind answer.
"I'll beat you if I want to. Do you still have to choose a day?"
Because Xia Mingwei's blow wasn't light, half of Xia Mingzhu's face swelled up very quickly. From a distance, it looked almost like a pig's head, adding to her comical appearance.
But Xia Mingzhu was still unconvinced, cursing loudly and shouting that she would make her pay.
Looking at Xia Mingzhu's other side of her face, which was completely unharmed, Xia Mingwei felt that something was missing.
"Snapped".
Another loud slap.
This face is finally symmetrical!
Xia Mingwei expressed her satisfaction with her masterpiece!
If Xia Mingzhu still had the strength to argue back after the previous slap, this slap completely stunned her.
With her head buzzing, Xia Mingzhu had only one thought in her mind at that moment.
When did her grip become so strong? Is this still the Xia Mingwei she knows?
"What did you just call me? Say it again?"
Xia Mingwei released her grip on Xia Mingzhu, pinched her cheek, and said with malicious intent in her eyes.
Xia Mingzhu had no doubt that if she uttered even half a bad word, Xia Mingwei, that crazy woman, would make her bleed on the spot.
She shook her head and mumbled, "No, I didn't say anything."
Seeing that she finally understood, Xia Ming smiled with satisfaction.
"Sister, I'll be honest with you today. I'm utterly fed up with this family! For so many years, you've eaten my food and used my things. For the sake of being family, I won't say anything more!"
"But some people, they eat from the bowl and then curse the cook. They become ungrateful wretches, and I don't mind teaching them how to be good people again."
"This whole family depends on me for support. From now on, if anyone dares to make me angry again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Understand?"
Xia Mingzhu dared not disagree and could only nod hastily.
He was terrified that if he had been even a second too late, Xia Mingwei would have slapped him across the face again.
The burning pain on her face was secondary. Worse, she seemed to feel her teeth becoming loose.
I've lost my temper with her before, so why is she acting like this today?
