"You don't know him at all, so how can you say you love him? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
Qiao Xiyan smiled and said, "You talk as if you know him so well. If you hadn't been reborn, you wouldn't have chosen him."
Su Ying shrugged, looking completely bewildered. "I don't know what nonsense you're spouting. What rebirth? When a person dies, everything is gone. How can you talk about rebirth? It's utter rubbish."
"Stop pretending with me. If it weren't for your memories from your past life, would you be in this godforsaken place like Dongshi to keep him company? A capitalist's daughter has many options, not just going to the countryside."
Indeed, as Qiao Xiyan said, she thought her mother had arranged a marriage for her with Jiang Yibo, but she never expected it to be Gu Sinian.
In her past life, Jiang Yibo was a master of disguise, treating her with utmost care. She thought that once she left her homeland in this life, there was no possibility of ever returning, so she foolishly handed over all her wealth.
But all they wanted was her family fortune. They never intended to take her away from Shanghai; instead, they wanted to destroy her and leave her no way out.
After her rebirth, her fate had already changed. Going to the countryside to find Gu Sinian was just to make up for the regrets of her previous life, not to rely on a man to change her destiny.
"I don't know what you're talking about. I went to the countryside only to fulfill the marriage my mother arranged for me when I was a child, and Gu Sinian knows about that."
"Your scheme back then was nothing but a joke. Gu Sinian would never marry you, and you knew that was the outcome, so you staged a whole drama to save Gu Sinian's mother."
"By controlling his mother, you'll control Gu Sinian. But your plan has always been wrong. You never knew that Gu Sinian and his mother had a terrible relationship. How could he possibly listen to his mother and marry you?"
"Perhaps you designed the wrong target from the beginning. It would have been better if you had focused your efforts on his grandparents."
Of course she knew that, but those two old fogies, Gu Huadong and Yan Yan, were not so easily fooled. No matter how much effort she put in, it would be to no avail.
Gu Huadong has always been a democratic person, and Yan Yan dotes on her grandson. How could she possibly use her grandson's future happiness to repay a life-saving debt?
She had already done her homework on these things.
Only a fool like Li Yaxian would choose to sacrifice her own son for outsiders.
Just as she had predicted, things happened.
That idiot Li Yaxian could easily drive her son to his death with just a few words of coaxing.
Such an easy fool to manipulate will be easy to control when she becomes a mother-in-law or daughter-in-law. A simple scarf, gloves, or hair clip will be enough to make her beam with joy.
People who can be easily appeased with the smallest favors are the easiest to manipulate.
“Those two old guys aren’t so easy to fool; they’ve disliked me since I was a child.”
"So you set your sights on Gu Sinian's mother."
“That’s right. You’re right. The reason I resolutely chose to go to the countryside, even at the cost of severing ties with the Qiao family, was to change my fate. I didn’t want to marry into the Huo family again and suffer the pain of the previous life. It’s human nature to seek advantage and avoid harm.”
“What did I do wrong? I like him, and he just happens to have a bright future. I’m just choosing the best one. What did I do wrong?”
Su Ying pursed her lips, no longer wanting to have any more entanglements with her. There was no need to argue with a madwoman about these meaningless topics; she simply wouldn't listen.
No matter how much you say, it's useless if people don't listen.
You can't learn something just by being taught it; you can learn it after being taught it only once.
"I'm tired. I don't want to talk about this. You actually want to take me away from my homeland. Your most important purpose should be to prevent my husband and me from ever seeing each other again, and to exacerbate Gu Sinian's pain, right?"
That was her original intention: to take Su Ying out of Beijing and live abroad, sell her to the red-light district, and let her live in misery for the rest of her life, so that she could quell her hatred.
She was so close to happiness, but that bitch Su Ying ruined it all.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, she is the one currently living in the military dependents' compound with the military personnel; she is the officer's wife, not someone forced to become a wanted criminal.
All of this is thanks to Su Ying.
She only feels at ease when she suffers.
Yes. That's it.
"Okay. I haven't eaten in a long time, go get me something to eat."
Qiao Xiyan's face contorted in disbelief as she pointed at herself, "You dare to order me around?"
"So what if I order you around? It won't do you any good if I starve to death."
After their conversation, Su Ying roughly understood what kind of person Qiao Xiyan was.
She won't listen to you no matter how nicely you speak to her.
If she has a sharp edge, she might listen to even a fraction of what she says.
"Want something to eat? No way. Go hungry. I have no obligation to find you food."
Su Ying's stomach was growling with hunger. She hadn't eaten for a long time, and while she could endure it, her baby couldn't.
With their hands and feet bound, they were unable to retrieve food from the spatial storage to fill their stomachs.
"I need to use the restroom."
Qiao Xiyan laughed for the first time, "Nothing goes in, nothing comes out? You're kidding me. From the moment we kidnapped you, you haven't eaten at all. Going to the toilet is just a trick to find an opportunity to leave."
"Even if you have to go to the bathroom, just hold it in."
Su Ying looked helpless. Qiao Xiyan hated her even more than she had imagined. She wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt like the baby was telling her to eat quickly.
Su Ying was afraid that her two little ones would go hungry.
After all, the child usually eats on time, and it has been more than ten hours since he last ate. I hope there won't be any problems with him.
"Even if I'm holding it in, you should at least loosen my hands and feet a bit. I'm very uncomfortable being tied up like this."
"If you feel uncomfortable, just bear with it. This is the first time I've seen someone ask for help to untie them because they feel uncomfortable from being kidnapped. If you're not mentally unstable, just be quiet."
Su Ying was helpless; Qiao Xiyan was truly difficult to deal with, and she wondered if she could get food from her spatial storage while bound like this.
She'll starve if Gu Sinian doesn't come soon.
We need to find a way to save ourselves.
Since Qiao Xiyan refused to back down, she would hide in her spatial dimension after Qiao Xiyan left and wait until it was safe to go out.
Once inside the space, she sat on a stool with her hands and feet bound. How was she supposed to untie herself? That was a big problem.
Let's go in first and talk about it later.
Su Ying waited and waited, and finally an hour later, Qiao Xiyan left the house, presumably going outside.
I heard that the missing cultural relics were those that Gu Sinian was responsible for escorting. Qiao Xiyan's move was ruthless.
If they manage to transport the cultural relics out this time, then Gu Sinian's position as head of the delegation will be over.
As soon as Qiao Xiyan left the room, Su Ying immediately slipped into her spatial dimension.
Qiao Xiyan was only gone for ten minutes, and when she came back, the sky had fallen—she was gone…
