After I awakened my inner voice, I became the treasure of my family.

Chapter 162 Poor Celine Yu

At this moment, Xi Linyu was completely stunned. She stared blankly at Li Tingxue, her former nemesis looking at her like she was a madwoman. Her mind went blank.

After a long while, she finally realized what was happening, and then burst into tears.

"Woooooooooooo..."

"Even you are mocking me like this! Even you look down on me!" Her cries were incredibly pitiful, as if she were the one who had suffered a great injustice.

Seeing Xi Linyu crying her eyes out, Li Tingxue couldn't help but purse her lips. "...You pushed me first, so why are you acting all wronged? It's really unfair! Humph, don't think you're the only one who can cry. I can cry too!"

She couldn't help but sneer inwardly, and the next second, Li Tingxue immediately got into character.

Her eyes instantly reddened, tears welling up, but she feigned a pitiful appearance. She gently bit her lip, lowered her head slightly, and adopted the posture of a little lotus flower that had suffered endless bullying.

Finally, I'll just say weakly, "How can you twist the truth and accuse me like this? You were the one who pushed me first, Celine Yu, why are you still as unreasonable as ever..."

Xi Linyu stared wide-eyed at Li Tingxue in shock, and for a moment, she even forgot to cry.

She pointed a trembling finger at Li Tingxue, her voice hoarse as she said, "You...you..."

But faced with Xi Linyu's accusations, Li Tingxue looked innocent and aggrieved, sobbing as she retorted, "Did I say something wrong? It's clearly you who's wrong!"

[Tsk tsk tsk, that's right! Daughter-in-law, you're acting a little too convincingly. You've even scared your nemesis!]

Jiang Mianmian looked at the jarring scene before her, her gaze falling on Xi Linyu. A pang of sympathy welled up in her heart, but it was only for a moment.

After all, in her opinion, no matter the reason, pushing someone is wrong, especially since the person Celine pushed was her own daughter-in-law, which was even more unacceptable!

Her daughter-in-law only wanted to give her a little "lesson," but she felt it was too lenient.

Meanwhile, Li Tingxue was completely immersed in her successful performance, thoroughly enjoying herself.

Her face was full of smugness, and she was secretly pleased: Humph, as expected, Mother is still on my side! If it weren't for Xi Linyu standing in front of her, she probably wouldn't have bothered to continue the act.

Li Tingxue quickly composed herself, looked pitifully at Xi Linyu, and said in a choked voice:

"You're the one who pushed me just now! Ouch... I fell and it hurts so much... How could you do this to me? It's so unfair!"

She looked as if she had suffered a great injustice, making people want to comfort her.

Hearing the whispers and pointing fingers around her, Xi Linyu was furious. She clenched her teeth tightly, her cheeks puffed out.

Faced with Li Tingxue's accusations and tearful complaints, she was momentarily at a loss for words. After a long while, she hurriedly explained:

"I admit I pushed you first, but..."

But before he could finish speaking, Li Tingxue interrupted him mercilessly.

"See, you've already admitted it, what else do you have to say? It's clearly your fault!"

Li Tingxue complained with a wronged expression, while also showing her aggrieved little eyes to those around her.

Celine Yu put her hands on her hips, pointed at Li Tingxue angrily, and shouted loudly:

“I clearly saw it. While that bitch was arguing with Madam Wang, you were secretly hiding nearby watching the show and even snickering!”

"Hmph, don't think you can lie just because I didn't notice. I saw everything that just now!"

"Seriously, when did I make fun of you? I didn't even see you just now."

Li Tingxue's face immediately showed surprise, and she exaggeratedly covered her mouth with her hand, stammering, "Uh...you...you actually saw it too?! Oh my god..."

Then, as if she had thought of something, she turned to Xi Linyu and teased, "But speaking of which, when your mother was arguing with someone, you just stood there and did nothing, not even offering to help."

Celine Yu, oh my! I never imagined you'd be this kind of person.

Upon hearing this, Xi Linyu flew into a rage, spat on the ground, and shouted, "Pah! What do you mean I'm that kind of person? Explain yourself!"

“Hey! That’s your mother… No matter what, you’re related by blood, right? Even if she has many faults, you shouldn’t treat her like this.”

However, Celine Yu remained unmoved and instead became even more agitated. She gritted her teeth and roared, "No! She's not my mother! I've never acknowledged her!"

She's a shameless slut! She killed my kind and gentle mother, and then shamelessly stole her place! I will never forgive this despicable woman!

Celine screamed incessantly, frantically chanting, "That woman isn't my mother, she absolutely isn't..."

Seeing her like this, Li Tingxue felt a little uncomfortable. For some reason, she suddenly didn't want to continue acting.

Especially when she saw Xilin Yu squatting on the ground, crying loudly and looking heartbroken, she felt like she had been screwed over.

At this moment, Xi Linyu seemed to want to unleash all her grievances and pain.

In contrast, Li Tingxue knew that her feigned grievances were merely an act. However, Xi Linyu's "grievances" were so genuine, without the slightest trace of affectation.

This reminded Li Tingxue of the plot analysis that Jiang Mianmian had just shown her.

She couldn't help but sigh, then took out a handkerchief from her bosom and handed it to Xi Linyu.

"Cry! Crying out all your unhappiness will make you feel better," Li Tingxue said softly, her tone filled with pity and sympathy.

Upon hearing this, Xi Linyu could no longer suppress her pain and grievances and burst into tears: "Waaaaah... Why did he do this to me? I'm his own daughter!"

What methods did she use to make my father so cruel to me...?

For a fleeting moment, Li Tingxue felt a strong urge to tell the person in front of her the shocking truth—that the woman was actually her own mother!

However, a thorny problem arises: the truth is not based on conclusive evidence or information from others, but rather learned through Jiang Mianmian's inner thoughts.

Faced with such a special and difficult-to-verify method, Li Tingxue also felt a sense of helplessness.

She opened her mouth as if to say something, but hesitated and swallowed the words back.

Oh, she's so pitiful!

Li Tingxue nodded in agreement: Yes, it really is quite tragic!

[This is truly tragic! To get revenge on that mother and daughter, Celine Yu is willing to sacrifice her own reputation and innocence, even going so far as to try and seduce her brother-in-law.]

She was solely focused on causing the mother and daughter embarrassment and suffering, completely disregarding the consequences. Who could have foreseen that she would later encounter such a perilous situation as a difficult childbirth?

Upon hearing this, Li Tingxue's eyes widened, and she almost blurted out in shock: "No, Mother, isn't the 'tragic' thing you're talking about the same thing?!"

At this moment, Jiang Mianmian's gaze slowly swept over Xi Linyu's waist, trying to find out something, and even more so, to see if she was really pregnant.

Uh... Celine should be pregnant with her brother-in-law's child by now, right?

When Jiang Mianmian thought about how Xi Linyu might lose her life because of this child, she didn't know what to say.

Sigh! You can take revenge, but why did you come up with such a Pyrrhic victory? You ended up sacrificing yourself for nothing.

The child she gave birth to at great personal risk was then given to her older sister, Simmons, by her own mother, who even went so far as to claim that the child was hers.

She lost her life by mistaking her own mother, and this led to her own child suffering the same fate, mistaking her own mother for her own mother as well.

It feels like...her whole life was a joke!

[She was never born into her mother's expectations, and was even used as a tool by her mother, given to her older sister solely to help her become Mrs. Xi.]

Later, her "adoptive mother" died, but her biological mother once again used her as a tool to help herself ascend to the throne of Mrs. Xi.

She had two mothers, but neither of them truly loved her.

In comparison, her half-sister was much luckier than Xi Linyu. Although Xi Mengsi's biological father wasn't very successful, at least she had a loving mother!

[And what's more, her mother is incredibly supportive.]

Although Jiang Mianmian didn't fully understand Xue Ningyue's inner thoughts, she could roughly guess them.

[It is likely that Xue Ningyue believed that her youngest daughter had grown up in luxury and had everything she could want in terms of material possessions, so she would naturally not lack love and care.]

Therefore, she poured more attention and affection into her eldest daughter.

[Another point is that her eldest daughter arrived amidst her deepest longing; she was the fruit of her love with her ideal man! This special emotional bond made her eldest daughter occupy an incredibly important place in Xue Ningyue's heart.]

However, Xi Linyu's situation was different. Her affair with Xue Ningyue was a momentary act of loneliness, which undoubtedly became a major stain on her life...

[What's worse, Xi Linyu not only disowned Xue Ningyue as her birth mother, but also recognized another woman as her mother, not even her own sister. Moreover, Xi Linyu considered her her "mother's killer," hating her intensely.]

But even the most compassionate person would feel heartbroken facing a daughter who was like a heartless ingrate. Over time, she gradually lost patience and became unwilling to care about Xi Linyu anymore.

After all, there's always a sweet and caring girl by my side.

However, Xue Ningyue herself seemed to have forgotten that it was she who gave Xi Linyu to her sister in the first place, and it was precisely because of Xi Linyu that she and her sister were able to secure their positions as Madam Xi.

Originally, Li Tingxue only felt a little sympathy for Xi Linyu, but after listening to Jiang Mianmian's "heartfelt words" and hearing about Xi Linyu's tragic experiences, her sympathy instantly increased to ten.

This poor child was not born as everyone expected. Unexpectedly, he was just someone else's "tool" from birth.

Even after her death, Celine Yu was seen by others as nothing more than a tool to give birth to a "son" for her sister.

"Ugh……"

Thinking of this, Li Tingxue felt that Xi Linyu was really too pitiful!
