Although his Brother-in-law doted on his sister, and she had married the right person, both of them didn’t have a “normal” marriage.
Since his Brother-in-law wanted to make it up to her now, he should just let him be.
…
When Qiao Chen alighted from the car at his school, another luxury car drove over.
It was a black Bentley, stopping not too far away. Qiao Chen stopped in his tracks as his hand tensed by his side.
He felt people looking at him from behind.
But he didn’t turn back.
He chose to hurry off into the campus instead.
A few meters behind him.
Shen Xin had just alighted from the car. Her eyes were red, and she was biting her lip.
The chauffeur opened the umbrella and shielded her from the glaring sun.
Shen Xin was vain.
In summer, she wouldn’t stop at applying sunblock all over. She had to shield herself with an umbrella as long as she was outdoors.
Getting tanned was a no-no for her.
The chauffeur saw that she looked a little off and asked out of concern, “Second Miss, are you alright?”
Shen Xin did not say a thing.
She stiffened when she saw Qiao Chen.
And she only shifted her gaze when Qiao Chen had vanished from her visual field.
She stood there for a bit longer and took a deep breath, forcing her tears back. Then, she walked out from under the umbrella.
The summer glare was scorching.
The rays poured all over her.
The chauffeur hurriedly caught up and put the umbrella over her head.
But Shen Xin put her hand out and said hoarsely, “It’s alright, Uncle Zhao. You can go back.”
The chauffeur was shocked by Shen Xin’s unusualness today. He wanted to hand her the umbrella. “Second Miss, hold this then. Don’t bask in the sun.”
The chauffeur knew how afraid Shen Xin was of getting in the sun.
This Second Miss was about the same age as his daughter, and they were both rather conscious about their looks. They used umbrellas whenever they were outdoors, all year round.
Not to mention during summer.
Shen Xin looked at the umbrella and shook her head. “No need.”
The chauffeur was stunned. “Second Miss, you…”
It was so bright and sunny today.
His Second Miss actually didn’t want the umbrella?
This was a first.
What happened to her?
Should he let Master or Madam know about this? Or perhaps First Miss?
Shen Xin didn’t say anything more. She turned to look at the path Qiao Chen had taken and went a little pale, and then walked into the campus restlessly.
Had Qiao Chen… seen her?
She felt like he did.
But he didn’t turn back. He just walked off.
It seemed like he really hated her.
He was just being nice in the past and rejecting her tactfully so as not to trample over her dignity.
But she…
She actually thought that meant he had some interest in her.
And she went on to harass him for three years.
She thought she’d eventually move him with her determination.
But, in fact, he’d been annoyed by her for the longest time.
And this time, he’d reached his limit. He had to spill everything he’d been feeling about her.
Shen Xin had her pride.
She’d harassed him also because she thought that Qiao Chen liked her, but was too conscious of the difference in their backgrounds and status to accept her.
