Chapter 131: Gossip Chat
"I’m quite curious why Xia Qing seems to not get along well with her siblings?" Xia Xi asked while eating and looking at Xia Yue.
She noticed this from the first time she attended a family meal, but she didn’t feel comfortable asking about it.
After chatting with Xia Yue in the afternoon and finding her quite friendly, she thought she could ask her about it.
"Xia Qing is the precious daughter that our mother cultivated exhaustively. Among the girls, Xia Qing is the eldest and can be considered the Miss of the family. My personality is laid-back, and Xia Xin is spirited and lively.
From our mother’s perspective, Xia Qing is the princess of the Xia family and the role model among the girls. She learned every aspect of arts, dance and etiquette.
Moreover, from a young age our mother instilled in her the belief that she is the best, better than anyone else, and she shouldn’t play with us, those without a decent appearance. This cultivated Xia Qing’s disdain for Xia Xin and me, thinking we don’t act like girls.
As for the boys, Xia Yan finds her picky, Xia Feng takes his sister’s side, and her two eldest brothers play peacekeepers, all of whom Xia Qing fears," Xia Yue cheerily explained to her.
"No wonder she seems so arrogant," Xia Xi nodded.
"The girl we met during the day, Bai Yuran, is the top socialite in Kyoto, while Xia Qing is second. But the two don’t get along very well, though it hasn’t escalated to mutual animosity," Xia Yue continued.
"What kind of ranking is this?" Xia Xi asked, looking at her.
