Chereads / Queen of Ashes / Chapter 2 - Acceptance

Chapter 2 - Acceptance

After accepting the fact that she had transmigrated and there was no way to change it, she decided that she would accept this new life and change her written fate.

...

Ning Xi stood in front of the Ning family house and pushed the door open, there were a few red marks on her pale white skin due to the bites from mosquitoes.

She had used the memories of this body to find the location.

She then heard voices of somebody sobbing and she knew just who it was.

"Grandma...I don't want to...I...I'm scared, then what about sister?", Ning Rou asked looking up to her grandma with such innocent eyes that the old woman couldn't bear to reject.

"Silly girl, why didn't you tell me about your sister earlier? that girl is just useless and has nothing to do, I'll arrange for the engagement soon" , the old woman rubbed Ning Rou's hair softly, her eyes were filled with tenderness and love.

A quick smile of satisfaction flashed but soon disappeared on Ning Rou's face, the old woman did not notice it.

"But grandma, we have to ask sister first for her opinion!", the girl spoke, sounding worried with a panicked expression.

"Ask? She should be grateful that she has the chance to marry someone of such high status, she has no other choice and if she dares to refuse then...she would know the consequences because I will make sure she marries him by hook or by crook!", The woman said fiercely.

"But grandma sister..." Ning Rou tried to speak but her grandmother stopped her.

"RouRou stop thinking about that useless thing and let's talk about your coming up the competition"

Ning Xi stood at the door observing their drama for a while, when they were done she chuckled and snorted before dragging her feet upstairs to find her room completely ignoring them.

The old woman noticed that and frowned as she got angry.

"Useless girl come here, don't you know how to greet your elders?", Ning You asked angrily.

"Elders?Take a look at yourself and ask yourself if you deserve to be called an elder", Ning Xi rolled her eyes and continued to walk away.

"You...how dare you talk to me like that? I'll teach you a lesson!", Old Ning You was shocked because Ning Xi had never spoken to her like that.

Ning Rou watched them and smiled, she wanted everyone to hate that b*tch.

"Grandma calm down, sister...I'll try to talk to her about her behaviour so don't get angry, it's not good for your health", she patted the old woman back as if coaxing her.

"Good girl, I wonder what sins her parents committed to having such a good for nothing child, that unfilial thing wants to kill me", she looked at Ning Xi with disdain and smirked

"You only know how to talk, but always fail at anything else, unlike Ning Rou who is so good at everything!", Ning You said proudly.

As the two spoke the family butler Tan Ye walked in and whispered something into Ning You's ears causing Ning You to smile.

"RouRou go get a beautiful dress, Shu Man's family is holding a banquet to celebrate the old man Shu Yei's sixtieth birthday next week in the evening, make sure to look very pleasing I'll inform your parents too", she smiled and pushed Ning Rou to go upstairs.

*in the evening*

Ning Xi woke up and yawned before stretching her body, if she remembered correctly in the story, she was a weak girl who would do anything to please her family, to please her sister she always got low marks in examinations and failed in everything else.

Hah! that was over now, she Ning Xi would not allow that.

She walked downstairs and saw everyone seated down having dinner, it turned out no one had sent for her.

...

Ning Rou saw her and frowned which was not noticed by anyone except Ning Xi.

"Sister you...", Ning Rou stood up

"Who is your sister?", Ning Xi asked coldly.

"Shut up!", Lin Yua, Ning Xi's mother yelled at Ning Xi.

Ning Rou the adopted daughter was being treated nicely while Ning Xi the real heiress was being treated like that because she was regarded as a village girl. This two had been swapped at birth and Ning Xi was only found four years ago. Five years ago, Ning Rou was sick and needed a blood transfusion, the family wanted to donate until it was found that they weren't related after taking a blood test.

Ning Xi ignored the family and stepped out. She looked at the clothes she wore and frowned, this was old clothes Ning Rou had given to her.

She needed to find new ones as soon as possible!
