After her mind was read, the spoiled brat became the darling of the whole group.

Chapter 385 Broken Relationship

"Ok?"

Xie Xing tilted his head and looked at Xie Yuhe, asking, "Can't? Why not?"

She never had any feelings for the Xie family. If you had to say who she felt the deepest affection for among the Xie family members, it would be Xie Yuze.

But only relatively speaking.

Did the Xie family have deep feelings for her?

not necessarily.

They hadn't actually spent more than a decade together, so where did all those feelings come from?

So now Xie Xing doesn't understand why they are so reluctant to part with it.

Xie Yuhe was somewhat speechless. They needed Xie Xing not only because she was their younger sister, but also because Xie Xing's voice could more likely help them avoid the fate of their past lives.

So that they can know more and not be kept in the dark.

He died inexplicably, for reasons unknown.

When Xie Yuhe met Xie Xing's clear eyes, those eyes seemed to see right through their selfishness and cowardice, making Xie Yuhe instinctively want to look away.

I want to avoid it.

Xie Yuhe sighed and looked at Xie Xing, "Xing'er, you are my own sister, and the blood of the Xie family flows in your veins."

“We know that we neglected you and even did some very bad things to you because of Mingzhu, but all of that is in the past. We hope that you can give us a chance, a chance to be good to you.”

"Is it alright, Xing'er?"

Xie Yuhe looked at Xie Xing with emotion.

At least at this moment, he genuinely wanted to make amends.

Whether it's out of personal feelings or blood ties, they owe Xie Xing.

Thinking of Xie Yuze's description of Xie Xing's fate in his previous life, Xie Yuhe felt a pang of heartache.

He did not want to repeat the same mistake.

At least as long as the Xie family has the ability to protect Xie Xing, they will not let what happened in the previous life happen again.

Xie Xing frowned upon hearing this.

She bit her lip, looking at Xie Yuhe with a complicated expression: "Brother, isn't it a bit too late to say these things now?"

"You didn't say these things when I first entered the manor, or when I was learning the rules in the Xie family. Now that the truth has come out and you've discovered that the daughter you've always doted on is actually a treacherous wretch who betrayed you, you come to me and ask for another chance."

"What they were conveying to me was nothing more than that Xie Mingzhu was no longer useful, but at least she should try to win me back."

"Brother, what you're saying now only makes me feel more disheartened towards the Xie family."

Is true love something that can be expressed in words?

At least when they treated Xie Mingzhu, the Xie family members would readily offer themselves to her without her having to say a word.

Now that they've realized their daughter is useless, they regret it and turn around, saying a few nice words to her in the hopes that she will forgive the Xie family and become a good daughter to them.

Where did such a good thing come from?

Xie Yuhe's heart sank.

He looked at Xie Xing sadly and asked, "Have you made up your mind?"

"Even if you say now that you have absolutely no connection with the Xie family anymore, will the outside world believe that?"

"You entered the palace as the Fifth Princess's study companion, using the Xie family's identity, and by order of the Empress Dowager."

“Severing ties with the Xie family is not a simple matter.”

"Xing'er..."

Xie Yuhe wanted to say something, but Xie Xing interrupted him.

Xie Xing took out the tiger tally from her sleeve. "As long as the Xie family can agree to this request, after everything is over, I will no longer be a daughter of the Xie family."

The tiger tally was right in front of him, and Xie Yuhe looked at it with a hint of struggle on his face.

He reached out to take the tiger tally, but his hand stopped in mid-air.

Xie Yuhe withdrew his hand.

Xie Xing looked at Xie Yuhe in surprise.

Xie Yuhe smiled slightly: "Xing'er, I know you have done a lot for the Xie family, and we have indeed hurt your feelings, but I cannot agree to sever ties with the family."

"Everything the Xie family has is rightfully yours. Now that I've come to my senses, you're trying to sever ties with us. That's far too lenient."

Xie Xing: ?

What does he mean by that?

Xie Yuhe said, "I'll leave the tiger tally with you for now."

I will come again tomorrow.

After saying that, Xie Yuhe turned and left.

Xie Xing paused for a moment, looking at Xie Yuhe's departing figure with a strange expression.

"Wasn't he already planning to take the tiger tally? Why is he refusing now?"

The system replied: [I don't know. Who can guess what they're thinking? The whole family is crazy.]

How could the Xie family possibly love their daughter?

Perhaps there was some love involved, but it was absolutely impossible to achieve the same level of affection as the Song family.

Take Xie Mingzhu for example.

Do they really dote on Xie Mingzhu as much as the rumors suggest?

Perhaps part of it is because they were pampered growing up, but more so because of the excessive investment and expectations.

First and foremost, Xie Mingzhu is the future Crown Princess to the Xie family, and only secondly is she their beloved daughter.

But when they discovered that Xie Mingzhu was actually an ingrate and that her identity posed a threat to them, they had no way to use her, so they turned their attention to Xie Xing, whom they had never paid attention to before.

After they discovered that Xie Xing's investment costs were low, yet he could bind people to his side through blood ties and even attract Jun Lanjin's attention, Xie Xing's status in the Xie family changed.

So ultimately, the real reason isn't because they've been together for so long, but because of who has more value to exploit.

Xie Xing didn't know what Xie Yuhe was planning, so since they weren't using the Tiger Tally, Xie Xing took it back.

And the other side.

Xie Tongchen had been exhausted from dealing with Luo Mengfei, but when he saw Xie Yuhe come out, he immediately felt relieved and quickly bowed to Luo Mengfei: "Princess, my elder brother has come out. I apologize for disturbing you. I'll go see him."

Luo Mengfei pouted and said in a coquettish voice, "Can't you stay with this princess a little longer?"

"Men and women should not touch each other. If others see this, it will probably cause controversy."

Since Xie Tongchen had said so, Luo Mengfei had no choice but to let him go.

"Brother, how did it go? Did you find out the location of the Tiger Tally?"

Xie Yuhe's expression was serious. He turned around and glanced at the location of the palace, then lowered his eyes and sighed, "We really went too far and hurt her feelings."

"What?" Xie Tongchen looked at Xie Yuhe in confusion.

Xie Yuhe said, "She said she can give us the tiger tally, but she has to sever all ties with our Xie family."

Xie Tongchen's pupils contracted. "Sever ties with relatives?"

"Now, one member of the Song family has entered the cabinet, and the other has become famous overnight and has been appointed a general by the emperor. He has also been granted a mansion in the capital. The two elders of the Song family will also be coming to the capital soon."

"Xing'er might be better off going to the Song family."

Xie Tongchen fell silent.
