Chapter 81: Zhong Xuexi, Don't Butt In When It's None of Your Business
"Zhong Xuexi, stop butting in on things that have nothing to do with you!" Zhong Heyang said to her sternly.
"You have been protecting her since she was a child. Am I not your sister? She is always right and I am always wrong. If you knew this would happen, why did you give birth to me?"
Zhong Xuexi has always been very sensitive about Zhong Xueyuan's affairs.
It exploded almost instantly.
In other words, if Zhong Heyang hadn't been looking after her over the years, she would have gone to the art troupe to make trouble countless times.
"you--"
Zhong Heyang was angered by her words.
Li Guixiang couldn't help crying, "Xue Xi, it's all Grandma's fault, don't blame your sister..."
"Why can't I blame her? She was the one who betrayed me first! If you want to be partial to her, you have to know your limits!"
Zhong Heyang slammed his chopsticks on the table, "That's enough!"
Zhong Xuexi refused to give in and wanted to argue, but was stopped by Lin Ziqiu. "Stop talking, come out with me."
Lin Ziqiu pulled Zhong Xuexi to the backyard, worried that she and Zhong Heyang would quarrel again and damage their relationship.
Zhong Xuexi was very angry at this moment. As soon as she reached the backyard, she shook off her hand and said, "Don't meddle in other people's business!"
Lin Ziqiu was not annoyed, and asked calmly: "You already call me sister-in-law, why can't I control it?"
"I'm too lazy to tell you!"
Zhong Xuexi was about to leave, and Lin Ziqiu followed her into her room.
It was the room with the best lighting on the first floor, and it was filled with densely packed books.
"Why are you following me? Get out!"
Lin Ziqiu didn't listen to her at all. He walked straight in and looked at the books on the bookshelf.
"I want to borrow some books from you." Lin Ziqiu deliberately did not mention what he had just said, but instead changed the subject.
Zhong Xuexi said in a muffled voice: "You can also read books?"
As if realizing that he was being disrespectful, he softened his tone and asked, "What book do you want to borrow?"
Lin Ziqiu told her that she wanted to go to college, "I need some high school textbooks now, do you have any?"
Zhong Xuexi immediately stood up and boldly raised her hand to touch Lin Ziqiu's forehead, "You don't have a fever, do you? Why are you talking nonsense!"
"Don't you know that the college entrance examination has been suspended for many years? You still want to go to college? It's impossible. If you have time, you might as well study your cooking skills and make more delicious dishes!"
Lin Ziqiu knew that she couldn't trust herself now.
"Just lend it to me. As for the opportunity, God will decide for itself."
Lin Ziqiu's words were very mysterious, but Zhong Xuexi felt it was ridiculous. "If you don't want to be a cook anymore, I can help you find another job. There's really no need for you to go down this dead end!"
Seeing that she still cared about him, Lin Ziqiu smiled with some relief, "I'm really not kidding you, just lend me the book. Even if I still can't make it back to the college entrance examination, I can read more books and gain more knowledge."
Seeing that she was so persistent, Zhong Xuexi didn't want to throw cold water on her, so she stood up and searched the bookshelf. Finally, she gave her all the high school books and said, "They are all here."
Lin Ziqiu patted the dust on the book and said softly, "Thank you."
After being disturbed by Lin Ziqiu, Zhong Xuexi's emotions stabilized. She even took the initiative to say to Lin Ziqiu: "Do you think I was too much just now?"
"Even though you hate your sister, for many things, what you see may not be true."
Even though Lin Ziqiu didn't know much about Zhong Xueyuan's affairs, he knew something.
"Before she married Wei Zhihe, you must have had a very good relationship, right? Since she knew who you liked, she would definitely not compete with you for that person."
"But in fact, she did steal it." Zhong Xuexi said coldly: "When she was nice to me before, I sometimes felt that it was all fake."
"A person can pretend for a month or a year in front of others, but can he pretend for more than ten years?"
Lin Ziqiu asked her back, "For a man, turning against your closest sister is the most foolish person."
"Think carefully, did she tell you anything about marrying Wei Zhihe?"
Zhong Xuexi's mind became inexplicably clear at this moment because of her questions. She tried hard to recall the last conversation she had with Zhong Xueyuan after she ran away from home and was found.
Zhong Xueyuan only said that Wei Zhihe was not worthy of her love.
But if it's not worth it, why would Zhong Xueyuan want to get married? Zhong Xuexi told Lin Ziqiu the whole story.
As an outsider, Lin Ziqiu looked at the problem more comprehensively and rationally. Based on this sentence alone, she was even more certain that Zhong Xueyuan must have been bullied by Wei Zhihe when she was in trouble.
"No wonder your grandma feels guilty towards your sister."
Zhong Xuexi opened her eyes wide, "What do you mean by that?"
Lin Ziqiu sighed, "Your sister's innocence was ruined. Under the circumstances at the time, your grandparents had no choice but to protect your sister's reputation, so they forced her to marry Wei Zhihe."
"No! This is absolutely impossible!" Zhong Xuexi couldn't believe it at all, "Brother Zhihe is not that kind of person!!"
"How is it possible..."
"How is it impossible? If he was really the hero who saved the beauty, your sister would never have said that he is not worthy of your love! Don't you understand?"
The only thing that Lin Ziqiu felt suspicious about was why a family like the Zhong family would choose to endure such a thing when faced with such a thing.
Aren’t they pushing Zhong Xueyuan into the fire?
There must be some hidden story behind this!
But perhaps only Zhong Xueyuan knows the truth.
Zhong Xuexi fell to the ground, shaking her head as she murmured to herself, "Impossible... This is impossible... No way, Brother Zhihe is not that kind of person..." As she spoke, she screamed, "Liar! You guys are trying to team up to deceive me!"
Lin Ziqiu looked at her crazy look and said coldly, "We are all women. I won't lie about your sister's chastity. Besides, I haven't even met her. Do you think it's possible for me to lie to you for her?"
"I don't believe it! I don't believe it..." Zhong Xuexi got up and stumbled out.
Li Guixiang didn't know what happened to them inside, so she quickly shouted, "Xuexi! Where are you going so late?"
Zhong Xuexi ran madly all the way. Although she was obviously out of breath and exhausted after running a few steps, she ran to the door of Ruan's house in one go.
She held onto the door frame and kept adjusting her breathing rate.
But when her hand touched the door, she hesitated again and was in a stalemate.
At this time, Ruan Qing's voice came from behind, "Xue Xi, why don't you go in? Are you here to see me?"
Zhong Xuexi suddenly came back to her senses, turned around and saw that it was her, and her heart shuddered, "I... I just finished my meal and am here to digest the food... Why are you back at this time?"
Ruan Qing pushed open the door with a tired look on his face. "I suddenly had an emergency operation. I'm so tired. Now that you're here, come in and sit down!"
Zhong Xuexi's feet seemed to be stuck with glue, and she didn't move at all: "No, no, it's getting late, I'll go back later."
"Why are you in such a hurry? My brother is at home, don't you want to see him?"
Ruan Qing didn't notice anything strange about her and grabbed her hand and pulled her inside.
