Chapter 151: 151: Bullied Yue Jixia (2) Yue Jixia couldn't believe what her friend was saying. They were both fighting for scholarships, and her grades happened to be higher than Meng Xiyi, but how could Meng Xiyi blame her for winning? That was just a friendly competition, and she just happened to win. It's unreasonable for Meng Xiyi to blame her for winning the full scholarship, as this was something even she had to work hard to achieve. Just listening to Meng Xiyi's words of blame, Yue Jixia felt things were too ridiculous. After they had graduated, all things about grades and such had ended at that time. How come Ruan Shasha and Meng Xiyi are still haunting her for such things? The more she thought about it, the angrier Yue Jixia got. Yue Jixia chose to ignore them and glance at her bag in the trash can. She was thankful that she is the type to place her wallet and phone on her at all times. What's in her bag are just cosmetics and a few accessories for daily life, like hand wipes, alcohol, and things like that. She decided not to take any more of those things, as they're long and dirty. She ignores the jeering of Ruan Shasha and Meng Xiyi. Yue Jixia ignored them, as the sting in her cheeks was a bit unbearable. She walks away and runs out of the company. After hailing the taxi, her cool demeanor finally broke down, and she started crying. The taxi driver looked at her worriedly and passed a tissue to her. "Child, don't cry. I know what kind of problems you are tackling, but life is just like that. Don't give up. If you need help, ask your family. They are your only real confidant in life." Yue Jixia was moved by the uncle driver, who gave her kind advice. "Thank you, uncle. Please send me to the Mountain Terrace Subdivision, and head to the central region, please." "Child, that's the most expensive subdivision in our district. How come you work in such a hotel if you live in such a nice place?" exclaimed the taxi driver. The Mountain Terrace subdivision is famous, and it was said that the whole central region was bought by just one person, and that person lives in the billion-dollar mansion called Moonlight Lake Mansion. Taxis aren't usually allowed inside, but if someone living in there was riding on it, they would be temporarily allowed in as the guards remember all the faces of the residents of this subdivision, especially true for those who live in the central region. Yue Jixia smiled but hissed when she felt the swelling of her cheek was pulled accidentally. "Well~ it's my elder sister who is rich. Also, I wanted to enter the society on my own, and that hotel just happened to be recommended by a friend. It was just that, it was a trap itself, and I was betrayed," said Yue Jixia with reddening eyes as if she wanted to cry again. The taxi driver felt sad for her. She is a wealthy young lady, but was bullied in her workplace just because she hid her family background. "Child, it's alright to want to stand on your own two feet in society. But things aren't easy being in it. You already have your family to guide you on the way. That is your privilege, and no one else aside from you had the right to use it. Why else would your elder sister buy such an expensive house for your family if not for your sake? Think about it. She is working to pave the way for you, but you, on the other hand, didn't want to walk on it. Don't you think your sister's hard work is wasted?" Yue Jixia was dumbfounded. For some reason she felt that the uncle's words were true. Her elder sister, upon telling them about her wealth, didn't actually stop working. Instead, she bought more and more assets for the family and the companies varied in specialties. Hotels, resorts, banks, IT companies, hospitals, etc. Her elder sister had bought everything within her reach and gave more job opening not only to them but also to the relatives that had good relationship with him like the Xing, Fu and Lin families; even the Su families were also dragged along and some of the members of Xia Clan that her elder sister had close relationship with were all given a chance. Now thinking about it, her relatives, cousins, nieces, and nephews were all working in those companies her elder sister bought. She also actually prepared for her internship at the Crowned Regent Hotel and was planning on giving her authority on her cruise ship. For their younger sister, the connection of their elder sister was enough for her to land a stable job in Autumn field bank. It wouldn't even be surprising if their sister even bought a bank for Yue Ruxia. All their paths in society were paved by their elder sister; she, on the other hand, declined an internship in a 5-star hotel just to work for a 3-star hotel. Yue Jixia felt that she was acting like a fool just thinking about it. It was only right that she was bullied by those babies. The taxi driver noticed that she had fallen deep in her thoughts and seemingly understood his advice. He didn't bother in her thoughts and brought her to the Mountain Terrace subdivision. Yue Jixia only needed to present her ID, and the gates to the central region of this expensive subdivision were opened for them. The taxi driver was dazed as his car stopped at the famed billionaire mansion. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He thought that this young lady was only living in some nice mansion in the central region of Mountain Terrace Subdivision. Who would have thought that in his life he would be able to drive into a billionaire's place and send in one who lives there? Once the taxi stops in front of the luxurious mansion with a clear lake at the side and a huge swimming pool on the other. He was rendered speechless until Yue Jixia asked for the bill. Yue Jixia said, "Uncle, I want to play through QR." "Oh?" the taxi driver absentmindedly opened the QR code of his phone and only heard the notification sound from his phone. Yue Jixia said, "Thank you for sending me home safely, Uncle. Please be careful of your war. Keep the change, okay~" Afterwards, she went into the mansion and only then did the taxi driver wake up. He looked at his phone screen and saw the notification of payment. [Cab Booker #124 paid 20,000 RMB. Please give me a change of 19500 RMB.] The total cost of hiring him for a cab ride is only 500 RMB after adding the route in kilometers and such. The taxi driver wanted to get out of his taxi to give the change until he recalled what the young lady had told him in the end. She said to keep the change. Thinking that in this one ride, he was able to receive at least a whole month's worth of money, the taxi driver cried in happiness. The only reason he kindly gave the young lady his advice was because he also has a daughter of her age. It was just a kind reminder, but for Yue Jixia, his words actually help her wake up in reality. That she shouldn't decline the blessing her elder sister had prepared for her and instead work hard to help her sister manage her assets at least. The taxi driver drove home early that day and bought his family a whole chicken to enjoy. He also happily bragging about how he had saved a young lady from her depression, making his wife, son, and daughter laugh at him as if they couldn't believe it. --- On the other hand, inside the Moonlight Lake Mansion Yue Jixia was welcomed by the scene of her siblings together with Taiyang and Tan Bingyu eating S & R Pizzas laid on the living room table. There is a pile of pizza obviously bought for the glutton in their family, Taiyang. As for Mama Yue and Papa Yue, they haven't returned yet after leaving with Grandma Hialun and Grandpa Xia. Yue Xuexia only received a message that the two old couples were going somewhere while having a double date. Yue Ruxia was happy to see her second sister coming home and greeted her while biting on her cheesy pepperoni pizza slice. "Erjie, welcome home. Hm! What happened to your face!?" Everyone turned around and saw Yue Jixia holding a swelling left face. The atmosphere in the area turned tense, especially when Yue Xuexia saw it and her face turned dark. Yue Xuexia said, "Sister Bingyu, please prepare an ice pack and take that ointment in my room to ease swelling." "Okay, please wait for a bit. Young Miss Jixia, take a seat. It won't take too long," said Tan Bingyu as she did as she was ordered. Taiyang commented, "Tsk! Whoever hit your face is merciless. I can even see the shape of her hand on your cheeks." "Erjie, who hit you!? Tell us! How dare they do it?" exclaimed Yue Ruxia as she was angered to the point that her face turned red in rage. Yue Xuexia sat beside Yue Jixia and calmly checked her face. She saw a few scratches made from nails, and it was even bleeding a bit though it was already dried up. Yue Jixia was terrified when she saw her dajie expressionless face. Yue Jixia said, "Dajie...? Hiss~" "Don't talk. Slowly open your mouth. I need to check where the wound is inside. You might have accidentally bitten the interior of your mouth when you were slapped." "Ah~" Yue Jixia slowly opened her mouth and allowed her elder sister to check on her wounds. Yue Xuexia accepted the ointment that can be eaten and internally used for wounds passed to her by Tan Bingyu, who had just returned, and she was even holding an ice compress in her hand. Using cotton buds, Yue Xuexia wipes the ointment on the wounds inside Yue Jixia's mouth. Yue Jixia tasted a minty flavor with a hint of slight sweetness from strawberries. "Leave the ointment to melt in your mouth, and it will help heal your wounds. Don't worry, this ointment can be taken orally. Let Sister Bingyu hold the ice pack to your cheeks to ease the swelling," said Yue Xuexia. Yue Jixia said with a bit of hardship, "Thank you, Dajie." "Okay. You can tell me what happened or I will investigate it myself?" asked Yue Xuexia. The serious expression on the face of their fairy-like elder sister stunned Yue Jixia and Yue Ruxia. They had only seen Yue Xuexia wear this kind of scary expression. That is when their Aunt Qu confronted their family and even looked down on her. She taught them a lesson that even involved her children, and in the end, she had to apologize to them. Well, their cousins were not innocent as well. They ignore them when they ask for help and even look down on them for wearing old clothes and using old phones.
