Chapter 48: So, You Admit That You’re Jealous Of Me
After Su Qianxun entered the elevator, she forcefully wiped off the tears on her face. Her hand was pressed against her chest, which ached immensely. ‘I must figure out a way to be with my younger brother again.’
The elevator doors opened when the elevator arrived at the fifth floor, and a woman entered the elevator. When Su Qianxun saw the woman, her gaze turned slightly colder.
Qiao Yiren did not seem to expect herself bumping into Su Qianxun here either. “Wow, you’re still alive! I thought you were dead!”
“I will not die before you do! I’ll live a good life and watch how karma strikes all of you!” Su Qianxun said icily.
“Hehe... The most you can have right now is a verbal advantage. You ruined father’s business deal that day. Do you think that he will let you and your retarded younger brother go?” Qiao Yiren laughed, taking delight in Su Qianxun’s misery.
Su Qianxun said nothing. She was too lazy to pay any heed to this hypocritical woman.
“The engagement ceremony between Chuxi and I will be held next weekend. Don’t forget to drop by.” Qiao Yiren flashed a sweet and charming smile.
Su Qianxun continued to stay silent.
‘Is Xia Chuxi really getting engaged to Qiao Yiren?
‘But that’s to be expected, they’re already expecting a child. Isn’t it normal for them to get engaged?’
Suddenly, Su Qianxun recalled how Qiao Yiren had always seemed to snatch everything she liked away from her every since they were young.
The toys she liked, the clothes she liked, and now, the man she liked...
action “Qiao Yiren, do you genuinely like Xia Chuxi?”
“What do you mean by this? Of course I like him. And more importantly, he likes me, too!” Qiao Yiren said triumphantly, and it was obvious from the look in her eyes that she was pleased with herself.
This was the demeanor that Su Qianxun had seen countless times ever since she was young.
“Do you genuinely like him... Or did you try every means to snatch him away from me just because I like him?” Su Qianxun stared coldly at Qiao Yiren.
“Is there any difference? Yes, I like to snatch the things you like away. I feel extremely happy whenever I see you lose your favourite toys, clothes, and man! The world feels extraordinarily beautiful to me whenever this happens.”
“So, you admit that you’re jealous of me.”
Even though Su Qianxun said those words nonchalantly, Qiao Yiren’s expression immediately changed. She looked like she just heard the funniest joke in the world. She chuckled in an exaggerated manner. “Huh... I’m jealous of you? Su Qianxun, you’re nothing but a poor person now, while I get everything I want. Why should I be jealous of you?”
“Not only are you jealous of me, but you have been living under my shadow all along. You can only derive temporary joy by snatching my belongings away from me. It’s such a pathetic way for a human being to live.”
Su Qianxun looked at Qiao Yiren’s expression—which had changed completely—in satisfaction. With a ding, the elevator arrived at the first floor. Su Qianxun walked out of the elevator ahead of Qiao Yiren. However, the moment Su Qianxun stepped out of the elevator, Qiao Yiren grabbed her.
“Sis, I know that you hate me and Chuxi, but we truly love each other. Moreover... I’m already pregnant. I’m begging you, please give us your blessings. You can beat me and scold me, I don’t mind. I’m begging you to stop causing problems to our family. As long as you admit your wrongdoings to father... Ah...”
As Qiao Yiren spoke, she suddenly started leaning backwards. Su Qianxun was truly done with Qiao Yiren’s acts. Was she not bored of pulling the same trick every single time?
‘Since she likes framing me so much, it would be such a waste if I don’t shove her to the floor for real at least once!’
Su Qianxun suddenly grabbed Qiao Yiren who was about to fall backwards, and forcefully pulled her back into a standing position.
Qiao Yiren did not expect Su Qianxun to be able to react this quickly. She froze for a moment.
“Since you like to frame me so much, I’ll grant your wish this time!
