As soon as these words were spoken, the smile on my cousin's face froze, and she didn't even notice when the hair dryer was turned off.

But in a flash, she returned to her normal self and jokingly said, "Little cousin, what nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by a curse? It's just an ordinary bracelet, isn't it?"

Leng Yue, however, didn't believe her nonsense at all. Her voice was icy cold, "Ge Wei, you disappoint me so much! Why on earth would you do this to me?"

"How did I offend you that you have to use such cruel means?"

Upon hearing this, my cousin fell silent. After a long while, she finally admitted with all her might, "Yes! I did it!"

"I knew there was a bad luck charm in the bracelet."

She finished speaking without waiting for Leng Yue to react

Then he hurriedly explained: "But sister, listen to me, I have no ill intentions, I just want you to be unlucky..."

The more she spoke, the smaller her voice became, and it was obvious that she was lacking confidence.

Leng Yue sneered: "No ill intentions? Do you know that you almost killed me?"

Her voice was tearful. Thinking that all these things happened to her because of her dear cousin, her eyes were red and she couldn't help but shed tears.

Her voice choked:

"Because of you, I was almost tricked into marrying a disabled old man. Because of you, I met a man who abused his cat. Because of you, I met a fraudulent company and was almost abducted to a foreign country and had my kidneys cut off."

My cousin covered her mouth in shock. "How is that possible? The person who gave me this bracelet told me it would only bring a little bad luck!"

Leng Yue sneered: "Would I lie to you? If it weren't for my little black cat, I would be dead!"

She told her cousin everything Qi Ling told her.

When the cousin heard Leng Yue say that she had encountered such a thrilling thing and almost died without a burial place.

Suddenly his face turned pale, with only guilt and regret on his face: "I'm sorry, little cousin, I, I really didn't know? I really didn't know it would be so serious, wuwuwu"

"I'm sorry, sister, please forgive me, please forgive me!"

Whenever my cousin thought about how Leng Yue almost died because of her and that she almost took a life, she became completely at a loss and panicked.

She had never thought that her impulsive behavior would lead to such a disaster and even nearly kill her own sister!

"Oh, forgive you? So tell me, how did I offend you? How could you be so cruel as to use the curse talisman on me? I ask myself if I have done anything wrong to you, right?"

Leng Yue listened to her pale explanation and just wanted to rush over, shake her body and question her. She was too confused, but unfortunately she didn't have the chance.

When my cousin heard Leng Yue asking her the reason, she stammered for a long time and couldn't say a word.

She felt extremely ashamed, her face turning pale and blue, and it was really difficult to speak.

"Speak up! Hurry up and speak up!!!"

Leng Yue became impatient and kept questioning her cousin through the phone with red eyes.

[This cousin doesn't sound too bad, could it be jealousy?]

[Or is she sick? Or is she just having a bad taste? Does she want Leng Yue to suffer? Or did she say something that offended her?]

…

The cousin was frightened by Leng Yue's cold and ruthless voice. After all, Leng Yue had always been very kind to her and spoke softly and gently. This was the first time he was so angry with her!

She was completely at a loss and very panicked, as if she was about to lose something.

When Leng Yue questioned her again in dissatisfaction and was about to tell her parents about how she had harmed herself, her cousin finally couldn't hold it in anymore.

Her voice was hurried and anxious, and she pleaded with a hint of tears:

"Speak, speak! Cousin, please don't tell my parents! If you tell them, they will beat me to death!"

"Then tell me quickly!!!"

Leng Yue's patience has reached its limit. She has no sympathy at this moment and is left with only confusion and helplessness.

My cousin was hesitant, and after a long while, her voice, a little shy and a little weak, came through, "It's all because of my parents!"

"Because of your parents?"

Leng Yue was surprised and didn't understand why her parents were involved again?

Since my cousin had already spoken, the following words were no longer difficult to say. I gritted my teeth and said it all.

There was resentment and dissatisfaction in her voice: "It's because you are too good!"

"You have always been the child of other people's families in my parents' eyes. Because in our big family, you and I are the only ones of similar age, and we are both girls, so my parents always compare me with you in everything."

"From childhood to adulthood, we've been competing in studying, eating, washing dishes, taking pictures, college entrance exam scores, schools, majors, and even boyfriends!"

"I'm really going crazy and suffocating!"

She couldn't help but laugh at herself.

"Whenever you're around, I can't find peace. They always tell me how great you are and ask me to learn from you. They compare me to you all the time. I always live in your shadow!"

"They say you've always had a sweet voice, look good in photos, wash dishes three times, always sweep the floor cleaner than me, and aren't picky about food. How can you be like me? You're not good at anything! There's not a single thing that satisfies them!"

"Every time they lecture me and tell me I'm not as good as you, I get annoyed and I hate you. I know it's wrong, but I just can't help it!"

"I always thought I could just endure it, until the university started providing accommodation, and I was finally able to escape."

"But a few days ago, when you graduated, you successfully found a good job, but I couldn't find a suitable one."

"My parents started talking again. They said if I had studied as hard as you did, got better grades, and chosen a good major, I wouldn't have trouble finding a job!"

"I was so annoyed during that time that I was almost mentally broken."

"I bought the bracelet while shopping at an antique shop. The shop manager told me that this item can bring bad luck to people and make their lives more difficult."

At this point, she felt guilty again: "I'm sorry, sister. I was so impulsive at that time that I thought that if I could make you unlucky and your career not so smooth, my parents would definitely stop comparing us."

"I definitely won't belittle me and elevate you!"

“So I bought it without caring whether it was real or not.”

She paused after speaking with a guilty conscience, and quickly explained with a blushing face:

"I really don't mean to hurt you, little cousin, please believe me!"

Her voice was full of apology and pleading, hoping Leng Yue could believe her.

Leng Yue was stunned. She had indeed been the child of other people's families since she was young. She was beautiful, likable, well-behaved, and had good grades. Basically, she had always been smooth sailing.

She didn't expect that this would put so much pressure on her cousin, and she had been living in her own shadow!
