Chapter 27: Chapter 27 Sister Standoff
Xia Chuyi’s expression remained unchanged as she placidly looked at Xia Lan.
Back then, when it came to the marriage proposal, nobody knew whom He Qing had taken a fancy to. The He Family didn’t say anything when they came to propose.
She only knew that when the He Family came to the Xia Family to propose, the proposal was for her.
And Xia Lan, indeed, was often bullied by the main house, while she had stood up for Xia Lan numerous times without anyone knowing.
Whenever she had something good, she would share it with Xia Lan.
And what was the result? In Xia Lan’s eyes, was she a fake saint?
Ha, the past her was clearly a true Holy Mother!
Xia Lan, this person, only saw her own hardships but never the difficulties of others.
She, a girl orphaned by her father and with a frail mother, had to resist the main house and her grandparents with a stiff neck at such a young age, in order to protect her own rights.
Otherwise, even with her uncle as a backer, given her mother’s weak character, how good could life be for her and her mother?
Xia Chuyi looked at Xia Lan with even more disdain.
People who wallow in self-pity only walk towards sorrow.
Her gaze suddenly provoked Xia Lan.
“Xia Chuyi, don’t look at me with that kind of gaze! What right do you have to look down on me?”
“Yes, I am pitiful, but you, you are even more pitiful!”
“Brother Qing is mine now, and you are nothing but a woman nobody wants!”
“That kind of man, just take him if you want, I’m not interested,” Xia Chuyi said indifferently.
“Ha, really? If you don’t like men, then what about Second Aunt? Second Aunt, your own mother, doesn’t seem to like you much because of your bad temper.”
“Second Aunt said, if only I were her biological daughter, she dotes on me much more than she does on you.”
Xia Chuyi’s eyes instantly turned sharp.
“What, did I hit a sore spot?” Xia Lan laughed triumphantly.
Indeed, this was a sore spot for Xia Chuyi.
The issue of her mother, indeed, was a long story.
But no matter what, that was her own business.
“Xia Lan, whether your life is miserable or not is your business, and whether I am pitiable or not is mine. He Qing, that scumbag, I don’t want him, nor do I think he’s worth it.”
“As for the past when I helped you, consider it a time when I was blind.”
“But the matter of you poisoning me, I will always remember.”
Xia Chuyi’s tone was harsh, each word clear and distinct.
Xia Lan’s face instantly changed color.
“What poisoning? I don’t know what you’re talking about!” her eyes darting away, “I don’t have time for this, I’m going to find my own seat!”
Xia Lan hurried off, clutching her bundle and running away.
Xia Chuyi coldly watched Xia Lan’s flustered retreat.
Just by denying, could she act as if nothing had happened?
Since that incident, Xia Lan did not come to look for her again during the car ride.
Xia Lan didn’t come to her, and she couldn’t be bothered with Xia Lan.
Occasionally, she glanced out the window at the world, comparing the present with the future. Occasionally, she closed her eyes to rest her spirit, summoning the Heavenly Book in her consciousness to read slowly.
This was a new function she had discovered.
It turned out the Heavenly Book could be read in one’s consciousness.
Reading the Heavenly Book Recipe, looking at the scenery, feigning a need to go to the restroom when hungry but actually stepping into her space to enjoy a meal and breathe in fresh air.
Just like that, she leisurely made her way to her destination.
