"Third Brother, do you regret it?" Jiang Xueqi asked from the side as if watching a show. "To protect an imposter like me, you've created a rift with your own sister. This rift can never be repaired."
"Shut up!" Jiang Chengying said with a gloomy look in his eyes.
He should take responsibility for his own actions, so what right does Jiang Xueqi have to be here making sarcastic remarks?
"Do you know why Mom and Dad and my brothers suddenly don't like me anymore?" Jiang Xueqi asked mockingly, as if she wanted to deliberately break down Jiang Chengying's psychological defenses and didn't care about exposing what she had done in front of him.
Jiang Chengying's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
He always felt as if something was beyond his comprehension.
Thinking about the things that might happen while he was away from home that he didn't know about, Jiang Chengying's expression became even more serious.
“Dad drank the problematic tea, which worsened his condition, and he almost didn’t survive.” Jiang Xueqi looked at Jiang Chengying and said, word by word, “Jiang Li did switch the tea, but she switched to medicinal tea that would help with recovery. Coincidentally, I saw her switching the tea, and how could I allow Jiang Li to steal the limelight? So…”
Jiang Chengying's heart sank completely. In the firelight, his expression became twisted and terrifying. "So it was actually because you switched the tea leaves that Dad's condition worsened?"
"But I didn't mean to! I just thought if Jiang Li could give Dad good tea, so could I!" A venomous glint flashed in Jiang Xueqi's eyes as she screamed hysterically, "I meant well! I only gave it to Dad because I heard the tea was good! But why... why is everyone treating me like this? Why?!"
"You almost killed Dad. It was Jiang Li who saved him from the brink of death. Not only are you ungrateful, but you're also accusing everyone of treating you badly?" Jiang Chengying found it unbelievable, her lips trembling with anger. "Do you even know what you did? That was murder! The fact that we haven't sent you to the police station is already a sign of leniency from your family, and yet you..."
"It's all Jiang Li's fault! If you hadn't brought her back, none of this would have happened!" If the resentment in Jiang Xueqi's eyes could materialize, Jiang Chengying would have been pierced by a thousand arrows. "Why did she come back? Why couldn't you stay true to me? I hate you all!"
After shouting those words, Jiang Xueqi turned and ran away.
Everyone was astonished by the conversation between the two.
No one cared where Jiang Xueqi went.
Perhaps they don't understand Jiang Xueqi, but judging from what she just said, she is not someone worth getting to know.
Naturally, no one would want to pursue her.
Such a vicious person should be allowed to calm down.
Only Jiang Li glanced at Jiang Chengying indifferently and said, "Aren't you going to chase after her? If she gets lost in a place like this, it will be a real problem."
"I'm really annoyed right now, so to avoid hurting innocent people..." Jiang Chengying said weakly, "Don't talk to me."
Jiang Chengying has truly become withdrawn.
He never imagined that his beloved younger sister was this kind of person.
Even more unexpectedly...
His own sister, whom he had always looked down upon...
In reality, I've been cleaning up their messes all along.
Think back to how they reacted when Jiang Xueqi targeted Jiang Li...
Jiang Chengying felt increasingly suffocated and uncomfortable.
Finally, he couldn't hold back any longer and slapped himself.
One slap wasn't enough, so Jiang Chengying slapped him several more times, making everyone who saw it feel their own faces hurt.
This guy is going a bit too far with himself.
“Um…” Although Chu Yunhan also had no good feelings towards the Jiang family, and he knew that his junior sister was not well received by the Jiang family, he still couldn’t help but speak up when he saw Jiang Chengying like this, “Stop hitting her, it looks really painful.”
Jiang Chengying kept her head down, saying, "I did something wrong and I deserve to be punished."
"But what's the point of hitting yourself like this?" Chu Yunhan said irritably. "The stupid things you've done can't be changed, and hitting yourself won't do any good. If you're just playing the victim, Jiang Li won't sympathize with you."
His junior sister is not such a compassionate person.
Besides, she had no expectations of the Jiang family and never thought about becoming a close family with them, so the Jiang family's situation was completely unimportant to her.
“I didn’t want her pity.” Jiang Chengying’s voice was even lower. “I just wanted to feel better. The pain on my face would remind me of the stupid things I’ve done and help me learn from them!”
Jiang Li overheard their conversation.
Jiang Li sneered, "Don't overthink it. What you did didn't cause me any harm or impact. My heart has always been with the Xuanmen sect. I went to the Jiang family because my master insisted that I go. It's just a change of residence. I don't care about your attitude towards me."
Jiang Chengying: "..."
This makes it even more painful.
Chu Yunhan leaned close to Jiang Li and whispered, "You really know how to kill someone by hurting their spirit. I feel good just hearing you say that."
Jiang Li rolled her eyes. "Your brother doesn't look too good. Why aren't you going to take care of him? What are you doing here?"
"Anyway, with you here, he won't die." Chu Yunhan said nonchalantly, "Besides, I've encountered far more things since I was a child than he has. Experiencing different lives and broadening one's horizons is something I think is very necessary."
"Having a brother like you is just bad luck, I don't know what my past lives have brought me." Jiang Li was speechless.
Chu Yunhan made a face, completely ignoring Jiang Li's teasing.
Jiang Chengying, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but take these words to heart.
Jiang Li must have had the worst luck in her past lives to have met this family.
Not only did he lose her when she was little, but even after finding her, he treated her that way.
It's understandable that she doesn't acknowledge the Jiang family.
But when faced with their lost and found treasure, their attitude was completely different...
Just thinking about it makes me want to slap myself again.
"Two of you stay here to keep watch tonight, the rest of you can take a nap," Jiang Li said to the group after glancing at the sky.
"And what about you?" Jiang Chengying asked, looking up.
Jiang Li didn't ignore him and replied, "If Jiang Xueqi runs around in this dangerous place by herself, it will be difficult to handle if something happens to her. I'll go check on her."
“I…” Jiang Chengying pursed his lips, and finally said, “I’ll go with you.”
“You’ll only hold me back if you come along.” Jiang Li refused Jiang Chengying and said honestly, “If I go by myself, I won’t have to worry about anyone else if something happens, so… you should just stay with everyone else.”
Meanwhile, Jiang Xueqi, who was running around aimlessly in the mountains and forests, had no sense of direction and had no idea where she had gone.
A voice in her head kept calling to her, urging her to move forward.
As long as she follows what that voice says, she will definitely be able to get out.
"Come...come...come to me, and I will give you everything you want..."
Everything she wants?
Jiang Xueqi's eyes grew increasingly unfocused, and her steps quickened.
In this way, she can get one step closer to what she wants.
