Chapter 355
"Ruoan, what do you mean by this?" Qiao Xin glared at the person in front of her with anger on her face. Her eyes, which had originally expected the other party to give understanding and support, were now filled with resentment and confusion.
"You are not a fish, so how can you know the joy of a fish?"
"Xia Ruoan, I'm having a very happy time now! If you still consider me a friend, remember to come over when the time comes."
"But if you no longer consider me a friend, I have nothing to say. After all, with your current status and position, I really can't afford you."
As Qiao Xin spoke, she looked Xia Ruoan up and down with a cold gaze.
Facing Qiao Xin's sharp words, Xia Ruo'an felt a sharp pain in her heart, but she still suppressed her emotions and tried to explain to her friend: "I absolutely have no intention of disowning you as a friend, and I have never felt that my status is so noble..."
However, before Xia Ruo'an finished speaking, Qiao Xin angrily interrupted him: "So what do you mean?"
"Could it be that you just can't stand seeing me doing well? Xia Ruo'an, in your heart, is it that only you are qualified to enjoy happiness and be envied by others, and I am not worthy of these?"
At the end, Qiao Xin's voice became increasingly sharp and piercing, as if she wanted to vent all her inner dissatisfaction and grievances through these few words.
At this moment, Qiao Yu, who had been standing by in silence, finally couldn't help but shout, "That's enough, sister! Stop talking like that!"
He frowned, his face full of helplessness and disappointment at his sister's attitude.
"Ruo Anke is a guest I specially invited. If you don't have anything important to do, please go back first."
"Ruo An said that out of kindness. He doesn't need to pay attention to you."
Qiao Yu faced him and spoke earnestly.
At this time, the three innocent children were still unaware of what was happening before their eyes, but they were still frightened by Qiao Yu's sudden anger and were all silent.
Although they had no idea what was happening, at this moment, even the air seemed to be filled with a tense and weird atmosphere, making these little guys keenly aware that something seemed to be wrong.
Just then, Ningning walked over cautiously, gently pulled Xia Ruoan's skirt with her little hand, and looked up at her with eyes full of confusion and worry.
Seeing this, Xia Ruoan quickly shook his head gently at Ningning and whispered to comfort her: "Ningning, don't be afraid, it's okay."
After comforting Ningning, Xia Ruoan turned his gaze to Qiao Xin beside him, secretly regretting that he had said too much just now.
So she took a deep breath and sincerely apologized to Qiao Xin: "I'm so sorry, Qiao Xin, I really didn't expect that my good intentions would cause you to have such a misunderstanding."
"But no matter what, what I want to tell you is that I sincerely hope that you can find true happiness."
"If you firmly believe that you can only feel happy when you are with Zhao Han, then I have nothing to say."
"I've got the invitation. I'll definitely go on your wedding day." Xia Ruoan nodded slightly at her expressionlessly, his eyes as calm as a bottomless lake.
Qiao Yu glanced at Xia Ruoan with an apologetic look, and said, "Ruoan, I'm so sorry. Please take the children in first."
After he finished speaking, his eyes were somewhat guilty, as if he didn't dare to look at Xia Ruoan for too long.
"Yeah." Xia Ruoan responded softly, then reached out and grabbed Ningning and Suisui beside him, and slowly walked inside.
The two children held their mother's hands, one on the left and one on the right, and looked particularly well-behaved and cute.
Just then, Leng Zexi happened to pass by.
He stopped and looked at Qiao Xin coldly, his voice low and powerful: "You should know what Ruoan means!"
"From now on, stop saying that you are Ruoan's friend, because you don't deserve to be her friend at all!"
Then, he continued with a look of sarcasm: "Also, you married a man who didn't love you, and you still shamelessly said that you would be happy. I really don't know if you can still say such words after a long time."
Hearing Leng Zexi's merciless rebuke, Qiao Xin's face turned pale instantly and her body began to tremble slightly.
However, she could not refute a word and could only lower her head silently.
Seeing that Xia Ruoan and others had already walked into the door, Qiao Yu glared at Qiao Xin fiercely, then quickly stepped forward, grabbed Qiao Xin's arm, and pulled her out of the door without saying a word, and did not stop until he reached the elevator.
"Are you satisfied now?" Qiao Yu asked angrily, her eyes spitting fire as she stared at the sister in front of her who made her angry and distressed.
"Look at what you have become now. Can't you love yourself a little? As for why you married Zhao Han, you know it better than anyone else!"
"You even resorted to such extreme means as threatening him with suicide, but what was the result? He still firmly refused to be with you."
"Can't you see it even at this point? His heart is no longer with you! Not only does he no longer like you, he may not even care about you at all."
Qiao Yu looked at his sister in front of him with a face full of pain and shouted loudly.
"Also, don't be so naive to think that you can use your so-called innocence to force him to marry you and treat you well in the future."
"Let me tell you a cruel fact. Zhao Han has already transferred all of his property to Chang'an, and he has also solemnly promised to give almost all of his salary to Shang Gonglan every month as Chang'an's support."
"So, even if he really had no choice but to marry you, he would be penniless and have nothing."
"What's even more terrifying is that he didn't make any plans or considerations for your life after marriage."
"In other words, if you insist on marrying him, you will get nothing except the title of 'wife' in name only."
"Qiao Xin, please wake up."
"It's not too late to turn back now. There are so many good men in this world. Why do you insist on clinging to Zhao Han and making both of you fall into endless pain? You are simply pushing him to death by doing this."
Qiao Yu became more and more excited as he spoke, and finally he couldn't help but blame his own sister.
"Even if you are my biological sister, I really can't stand by your side and support you in the face of such a ridiculous thing."
"Why don't you even recognize us? Wasn't it for this reason that Zhao Han married Shangguan Lan back then?"
Qiao Xin widened her eyes and stared at the other person, her tone firm but with a hint of unwillingness.
She always believed that with her charm and hard work, she would be able to make Zhao Han come back to her.
However, after hearing these words, Qiao Yu couldn't help but laugh out of anger.
"Don't you understand? When Zhao Han proposed to take responsibility, it was entirely his own initiative."
"Besides, at that time, he had already given up on you and had no feelings for you at all. But now it's different. This time, he only has Shangguan Lan and her daughter in his heart. You can't be compared with them at all!"
Faced with such straightforward words, Qiao's face instantly turned pale as paper, but she still bit her lips stubbornly, refusing to give in easily.
"Even if this is the case, I won't give up! I believe that one day, he will see my true heart..."
Qiao Yu shook his head helplessly, sighed and said, "If you are still so stubborn, then I have nothing to say. Take care of yourself."
After saying this, he turned around resolutely and strode away without looking back.
Looking at Qiao Yu's back getting farther and farther away, Qiao Xin finally couldn't support the weight of her body anymore and slowly slid down the wall and sat on the ground.
Tears flowed uncontrollably from her eyes, blurring her vision.
Through tear-filled eyes, she stared blankly at her reflection in the elevator door.
Compared with her radiant and confident image in the past, she now looked so haggard and dishevelled that even she herself could hardly recognize who was in the mirror.
However, she really couldn't let go and watch Zhao Han and Gong Lan being in love.
She has been suffering for nearly four years waiting for this day to come.
During this long period of time, her love for Zhao Han not only did not diminish in the slightest, but instead became even deeper and stronger.
This deep friendship has long been deeply rooted in the softest corner of her heart. How can it be easily shaken by a few words from others?
Zhao Han used to be deeply in love with her, but now he behaves so coldly only because he feels guilty towards Gong Lan and her daughter.
Even though he knew his daughter might be in danger, he still chose to save me without hesitation. He must like me in his heart.
It's a pity that all this was just her wishful misunderstanding.
If Zhao Han had known that his daughter would encounter an accident, he would have made proper arrangements for her safety first.
But it was that time of selfless rescue that gave Qiao Xin a glimmer of hope, making her firmly believe that there was still a place for her in Zhao Han's heart, and she stubbornly refused to let go.
Even when Zhao Han was forced to divorce and drown his sorrows in alcohol, she took the opportunity to check into a hotel with Zhao Han, causing everyone to misunderstand.
Not only that, she also deliberately designed a plan to let the Qiao family and the Zhao family witness the unspeakable scene in order to force Zhao Han to agree to marry her.
Although she knew that the means she took were not honorable, she only wanted to make Zhao Han her own.
As for what will happen in the future, she always believed that as long as the two of them could spend more time with each other and get along with each other, and as long as she treated Zhao Han wholeheartedly, one day, Zhao Han would fall in love with her again.
