Chapter 1258: Chapter 1247: Never Live in Aggrievement
Even though Lu Mei Juan said harsh words to Aunt Lu, she was still scared inside. She really feared Ye Qiu might hold grudges against them.
Ye Qiu now is no longer the little girl they used to scold and beat; she has become famous, receives national protection, and is supported by netizens. Everywhere they go now, people look at them with disdain.
Lu Mei Juan couldn’t understand how things developed to this point. Wasn’t everyone still scolding Ye Qiu before? How did the target of blame suddenly become themselves? Are people really that fickle?
If she had known this would happen, she shouldn’t have softened back then. She should have forced Ye Qiu to drop out of school, regardless. Not only did they give her the salary from her part-time job, but they could have received a generous dowry if she got married. Unlike now, where not only do they watch huge sums slip away, but they also have to bear insults.
"Why didn’t you treat her better back then?" Ye Meng complained irritably, "Since you adopted her, shouldn’t you at least take on the basic responsibility?"
Lu Mei Juan looked incredulously at her biological daughter. Did she really say that? Was her daughter actually blaming her?
One sentence from Ye Meng was not enough, the more she thought about it, the more unfair she felt: "If you had treated Ye Qiu slightly better back then, wouldn’t we be better off now? With her achievements, wouldn’t she have cared about me?"
"Meng’er, your dad and I treated Ye Qiu poorly for whose sake?" Lu Mei Juan said loudly, "Are you blaming Mom and Dad? Didn’t you also dislike Ye Qiu?"
"From the moment I was born, I was just a little girl who didn’t understand anything, wasn’t it your influence that changed my views? It was originally your fault. If you treated Ye Qiu better when she was young, maybe I would have truly considered her my sister, maybe under her influence, my grades would be great too." Ye Meng complained relentlessly.
Lu Mei Juan and Ye Yide both felt it was quite reasonable. They thought, if they hadn’t been so biased after giving birth to their younger daughter, if they truly regarded Ye Qiu as part of the family, wouldn’t Ye Qiu have liked and relied on this family? Wouldn’t the younger daughter also become excellent under Ye Qiu’s influence? Wouldn’t they be enjoying Ye Qiu’s achievements now?
Unfortunately, there’s no "if" in this world. Heaven gave them a chance, but they didn’t grasp it.
"Such a good daughter, the Ye Family actually pushed away. If I had such a daughter, I would be overjoyed."
"It’s infuriating that we couldn’t have a daughter like her. Others not only have children like her but don’t treat her well after adopting her, which is truly enraging!"
"I bet the Ye Family regrets it now. Goddess, please don’t soften your heart; the Ye Family isn’t worth treating kindly."
"I’m even more worried whether the goddess’s biological parents will come to acknowledge her at this moment?"
"Recognition for what? It’s just like they disappear when the person is famous, and pigs fear getting fat; didn’t see them when the goddess suffered, now she’s famous, they want to reap the benefits? Where’s it that simple?"
"I’ll say the goddess should quickly sever the adoption relationships with the Ye Family to avoid trouble."
"Ha ha... Has Ye Qiu spoken? You’re here making decisions? Where do you get such nerve? According to our country’s law, even if the Ye couple treated Ye Qiu poorly, Ye Qiu must take care of them in old age. Don’t hold your breath!"
"Suggestion from the above, better study our country’s adoption law and minor protection law properly; don’t assume things on your own."
This period, Ye Meng has been unable to rest well; she is constantly focused on online information, fearing Ye Qiu truly intents to sever ties with her family.
She was truly regretful and scared now. If she had known Xie Lizzi was so unreliable, why would she have acted that way?
If she had always shown goodwill towards Ye Qiu and apologized repeatedly, would Ye Qiu have forgiven her? Would the netizens not criticize her as they do now?
It’s infuriating that everyone recognizes her now; she doesn’t dare to go out, work, or even look for Ye Qiu. It feels like her entire life is ruined.
Ye Meng can’t help but recall childhood; back then she actually wasn’t bad to Ye Qiu, sometimes secretly calling her sister, and Ye Qiu liked her then. But when did the relationship start changing?
It seemed like once after calling her sister, Mom got really angry, saying Ye Qiu wasn’t her sister, saying she didn’t deserve to be her sister, and forbade her from treating Ye Qiu well.
Soon after, Mom treated Ye Qiu even worse, and under Mom’s subtle influence, Ye Meng began viewing Ye Qiu as if she was owed something, and Ye Qiu’s workload at home increased, while her words decreased.
Ye Meng bitterly smiles. Although their relationship deteriorated due to Mom’s influence, wasn’t it also because she herself was easily influenced, had no determination?
She caused it all herself. Putting herself in Ye Qiu’s shoes, with ability, if she were Ye Qiu, she would definitely seek revenge.
Yet, Ye Qiu never actively did anything but passively reacted.
If Ye Qiu knew her thoughts, she’d probably die laughing. It’s not that she didn’t actively retaliate, but her efforts were unknown. Did they really think all those revelations appeared timely by coincidence? Did they really think the country intervened for her small matters?
Of course it was her investigation, subtly mentioning a point or two. To calm her heart, it had to be done, right?
There were also netizens asking why she didn’t sever adoption ties; it’s intentional. She gave the Ye Family a shred of hope but refused to let them gain any benefits. Conversely, it earned her netizens’ favor, making them speak honorably on her behalf.
While her exploitation of people isn’t commendable, it’s just this once.
Ye Qiu deeply appreciated these people, so she tried to create the best products, giving them the ultimate experience, ensuring they exceeded value.
As for those trolls, she remembered them one by one, first looking for the netizen called "Not watermelon seeds, but long melon seeds." Did they really think some words were casually spoken? Did they really think not seeing their face meant she couldn’t settle accounts?
Ye Qiu’s lawyer’s letter is already sent; she doesn’t have time to appear in court but will find the best lawyer to teach them a profound lesson. freёwebnovel.com
Then there are others who claimed they wouldn’t buy her products unless she apologizes; she remembers them too. Have the guts to uphold that promise for life, otherwise don’t blame her for biting back.
Her developed products are for those who genuinely like her, who genuinely support her. Though pricey, their usage value far exceeds the product price itself; people will see it eventually.
To prevent trolls from purchasing, Ye Qiu implemented real-name purchasing and restricted purchase quantities. Want to buy? Fine, pay far above the regular price.
She’s unafraid of trolls; having strength means being this willful.
