Lin Piaoxue pushed open the door and ran into the room. Lin Qinghuan looked at Lin Piaoxue's pitiful appearance with tears streaming down her face, and a hint of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes.

Wow! The sun has risen in the west; someone actually made Lin Piaoxue cry.

What a wonderful surprise!

Lin Piaoxue lay on the bed, crying and pounding her pillow. Lin Qinghuan's teeth ached at the sight; she was acting so dramatic, as if the pillow was her enemy.

Lin Qinghuan leaned against the headboard, admiring Lin Piaoxue's heartbroken and tearful appearance, and was secretly delighted.

Cry! Cry as hard as you can, it would be best if you cried yourself blind, Lin Qinghuan thought mischievously.

Lin Qinghuan suddenly felt that she was becoming more and more wicked. Hiss! Could it be that the evil elements lurking deep inside her had been awakened, or was she inherently evil?

It must be due to the Lin family's genes; she used to be a kind and helpful person.

After crying her fill, Lin Piaoxue sat up and pitifully wiped away her tears.

Lin Qinghuan looked regretful. She stopped crying after only ten minutes. She thought Lin Piaoxue would cry for at least half an hour.

Lin Qinghuan's eyes darted around, and a mischievous smile crept onto her lips. "Sister, you look so ugly when you cry!"

Lin Piaoxue said angrily, "What's it to you!"

Lin Qinghuan wasn't annoyed. Instead, she teased, "Sister, look at you. You're crying so hard your snot is running down your face. You look disgusting. I remember you used to cry so pitifully, it was so endearing."

"Sister, you're really getting worse as you get older. If you continue like this, all your admirers will leave, and no one will stand up for you like they used to."

Lin Piaoxue's face darkened, and she said sarcastically, "I have many suitors, but you can't even hold onto Qin Zhen. What gives you the right to mock me?"

Lin Qinghuan sighed, her face darkening slightly. "Sister, if you hadn't mentioned Qin Zhen, I would have almost forgotten about him. But I seem to remember that you used to like Qin Zhen too. Could it be that you still can't forget him?"

"Who likes Qin Zhen? Don't talk nonsense," Lin Piaoxue denied.

Lin Qinghuan: "No? But you seem guilty, like you're trying to cover something up."

Lin Piaoxue: "It's you who can't forget Qin Zhen. I only think highly of him because of his good family background."

Not everyone can catch her eye; men with good financial conditions are her first choice.

A hint of surprise flashed across Lin Qinghuan's eyes. Lin Piaoxue always knew what she wanted and always worked towards her goal.

Lin Qinghuan admired her perseverance in pursuing wealth and status, but was it really a good thing to be a parasitic plant that relied on others?

Wait a minute! It seems she's only enjoying her comfortable life now because she's relying on Wei Xiao.

Holy crap! It seems Lin Piaoxue has already achieved the goal she was pursuing.

Oh my god! If Lin Piaoxue knew that Wei Xiao wanted her to be his girlfriend, wouldn't she be so jealous?!

Lin Qinghuan thought for a moment. Since she hadn't agreed to Wei Xiao's request, she decided not to say it to avoid any complications.

Lin Piaoxue glared fiercely at Lin Qinghuan, stomped her foot, twisted her waist, and ran out of the room.

Lin Qinghuan shrugged. She noticed that the Lin family members particularly liked to glare at people, and they weren't afraid of glaring their eyes out.

Lin Piaoxue saw her mother resting at the entrance of the main room, so she took a chair and sat down next to her mother.

Lin's mother remembered Lin's father's words and her heart jumped. She thought to herself, "Lin Piaoxue must not ask me for money."

Lin Piaoxue brought her face close to her mother's, "Mom, look at my face. I've been running back and forth between home and the city for family matters, and my face is covered in sunspots."

Lin's mother took a closer look at Lin Piaoxue's face and found that Lin Piaoxue did indeed have sunspots.

"Washing with rice water might help fade sunspots."

Lin Piaoxue pouted and said, "Mom, how can rice water cure sunspots? You need to use skin-lightening cosmetics."

Lin's mother's heart skipped a beat; Piaoxue had indeed come to ask her for money.

"Snowflake, Mom doesn't have any money right now. Your dad is in charge of all the money in the house."

Lin Piaoxue's face darkened. In the past, when she asked her mother for money, her mother would give it to her without hesitation. Now, when she asked her mother for money, her mother made excuses and it was obvious that she did not want to give her money.

Seeing Lin Piaoxue's gloomy face, Lin's mother knew she was unhappy, but she really had no money!

If she really dares to take the money that Lin's father has hidden, Lin's father will really send her back to her parents' home.

Lin Piaoxue touched the spots on her face and said sadly, "Mom, I have spots on my face, so I won't be able to find a good partner."

"But Mom really doesn't have any money," Lin's mother said with a bitter face.

"Mom, you just won't give me money. You don't like me anymore." After saying that, Lin Piaoxue stood up and ran towards the front door.

Lin's mother called out to Lin Piaoxue, "Piaoxue!"

Lin Piaoxue stopped walking, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

"Snowflake, how's the sourcing going? We're waiting for your good news at home."

Lin Piaoxue's expression stiffened slightly, her eyes filled with disbelief. Her mother had called her because of the supply of goods, not because she was being soft-hearted and wanted to give her money to buy cosmetics.

Lin Piaoxue couldn't accept such a huge difference in treatment, and tears instantly filled her eyes.

Neither of Lin's father nor mother loved her anymore.

Lin Piaoxue ran out of the house crying.

Seeing Lin Piaoxue crying, Li Jian grabbed her and asked with concern, "Piaoxue, what's wrong? Did that brat Lin Qinghuan anger you again?"

Lin Piaoxue looked at Li Jian pitifully, and with a blink of her eyes, tears fell like pearls.

Li Jian was heartbroken and said helplessly, "Piaoxue, don't cry, what happened? Tell me quickly!"

Lin Piaoxue choked up and said, "Li Jian, I... I'm heartbroken."

"I know you're upset, but you have to tell me what happened so I can help you!" Li Jian said anxiously.

Lin Piaoxue gently wiped away the tears on her face, her eyes red as she looked at Li Jian, and said understandingly, "Li Jian, Qinghuan didn't mean to send me to the city to find sources of goods. The sunspots on my face have nothing to do with her."

"As expected, it's that bitch Lin Qinghuan, who has hurt you time and time again." Li Jian said through gritted teeth.

Lin Piaoxue said gently, "Li Jian, Qinghuan is my sister, and you are the person I trust the most. You are both my flesh and blood. I hope you will not cause trouble for Qinghuan. Besides, you can't beat her now. I don't want either of you to get hurt."

Seeing how gentle and kind Lin Piaoxue was, Li Jian was filled with tenderness and said with pity, "Piaoxue, you're so heartbroken, why are you still speaking up for Lin Qinghuan?"

Lin Piaoxue's tears streamed down her face, as if they would never stop flowing.
