I don’t know if I’m cursed or something, but Song Xi didn’t know since when she started to intentionally trouble Song Qiao. Every time she saw Song Qiao, she couldn’t help but to criticize her.
Even sometimes, Song Xi felt like she was under a curse by Song Qiao.
Seeing Song Xi’s provocative behavior, Song Qiao’s face turned stern, but she didn’t say a word. Instead, she walked past her towards the sink, pumped some soap, and started washing her hands seriously under the faucet.
When Song Xi saw Song Qiao ignoring her, her face turned from pale to green with anger, and she followed right up behind her, gnashing her teeth as she said, "Song Qiao, I’m talking to you, and you’re ignoring me?"
Normally, she hated Song Qiao’s attitude the most, especially how Song Qiao wouldn’t react no matter how she bad-mouthed her.
Damn it, it feels like punching into cotton.
After washing her hands, Song Qiao took out a tissue from her bag to dry them, and then turned to face Song Xi, who was prepared to continue being unreasonable, and said indifferently, "Song Xi, you’ve turned 23 already, right, two days ago?"
Song Xi was caught off guard by her words, her face froze with a hint of embarrassment as she replied, "Yes... so what?"
I’m 23, how is that your problem?
Discarding the used tissue, Song Qiao, still with an unchanged expression, continued to look at Song Xi’s delicately made-up face and spoke calmly, "Since you’re now 23, it proves that you’re an adult capable of bearing any responsibility. As a celebrity, you should be aware of your behavior. Acting like a child all the time, you’ll only end up hurting yourself."
Song Xi, "..." Her face froze, and she couldn’t understand what Song Qiao meant for the moment.
Song Qiao didn’t continue paying attention to her and looked at her watch – it had only been ten minutes, and Lu Jingchen surely hadn’t arrived yet.
The watch was something Lu Jingchen bought from who knows where, giving it to her last night, saying that the custom watch hadn’t arrived yet, so he wanted her to wear this one in the meantime.
Song Qiao knew the watch was expensive as soon as she saw it. Although reluctant, she eventually accepted it.
Looking up once more at Song Xi, she spoke again, "Now that you’re officially entering society, don’t expect to be protected for the rest of your life. You should learn to stand on your own two feet. Always acting so childishly, do you think everyone is like you, brushing off criticism like it’s nothing?" Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novel·fıre·net
At this point, Song Qiao curled her lips with a mild but fiery smile, "It’s not that I’m afraid of you, Song Xi. To be honest, in my eyes, you’re like an immature child, even a jumping clown. You grew up under the shelter of your mother and can only make a few fusses. Do you really think I, Song Qiao, am afraid of you?"
Having said that, without waiting for Song Xi to react, she walked past her towards the exit of the restroom.
Song Xi was stunned by Song Qiao’s words, and took a long while to come back to her senses. Only then did she realize that Song Qiao had given her a lesson, and, furthermore, that woman actually... despised her.
Damn it, what right does she have to talk to me ?
With that in mind, Song Xi washed her hands and, without bothering to dry them properly, strode out in her high heels, actually chasing after Song Qiao.
Just as Song Qiao walked out of the restroom and was about to wait for the elevator, intending to pull out her phone and call Lu Jingchen to tell him she’d head down first, she felt a force bump into her, causing her to lose her balance and fall to the ground.
"Ouch, sorry, I didn’t see you," she hadn’t lift her head to see who it was when a voice, sounding somewhat surprised but lacking apology, rang out immediately.
Because Song Qiao was wearing high heels, she felt some pain in her foot and, upon looking up, saw a girl in a light blue suit standing in front of her with not a trace of regret on her face but rather a challenging expression.
In her heart, Song Qiao felt ten thousand "F***" galloping. If she couldn’t tell this girl did it on purpose, then she was blind.
And just as Song Xi stepped out, she saw this scene and heard the girl’s words, instantly infuriated, she quickly stepped forward and pushed the girl with anger on her face, "Chen Rui, what are you doing? Trying to pick a fight, aren’t you?"
