Cheng Zaozao was taken aback, then frowned and said, "Sister, what nonsense are you talking about? Why would I think this child can't be born?"
"Now that things have come to this point, aren't you going to admit it?" Qiao Wanwan looked at her. "Zaozao, don't make me look down on you."
Cheng Zaozao looked aggrieved. "Sis, what are you talking about? Don't scare me..."
"You really are a natural-born actress," Qiao Wanwan said sarcastically. "It seems that I made the right decision to let you enter the entertainment industry. It's just a pity that no matter how good your acting skills are, it's useless because I've already found Xu Lai."
Cheng Zaozao was stunned for a few seconds, the warmth in her eyes gradually fading, leaving only indifference. "Is that so? Ever since Xu Lai suddenly disappeared, I've been saying this day would come. After all, in China, it's impossible for me to find her before you..."
Qiao Wanwan closed her eyes in despair.
Although she was basically certain, the moment Cheng Zaozao admitted it herself, her heart still ached terribly.
"Since you've admitted it, then tell us."
"Where should I begin..." Cheng Zaozao got up, took a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet, opened it, and began to speak as she drank, "That was a long, long time ago. Back then, I was just a young girl experiencing my first crush. From the first moment I saw Brother Lin Mo, I liked him. He was gentle and refined, like a spring breeze, fulfilling all my fantasies about men..."
"Even though I was sick and didn't even know when I would die, whenever I saw him, my heart felt sweet, sweeter than eating cake. At that moment, I knew I was completely smitten, and that I would never meet another man in my life who could move my heart like him..."
"I had absolutely no idea you liked him," Qiao Wanwan said, filled with regret. "If I had realized it sooner, would things have turned out differently?"
"Of course I can't let you know that I've fallen for him, otherwise you'll definitely stop me, and you might even make it so I'll never see him again," Cheng Zaozao said resolutely. "No one can separate me from Brother Lin Mo, not even you."
“I can understand your feelings for him. Girls are prone to being infatuated with someone special when they first fall in love, but this kind of one-sided affection is destined to end without a trace.” Qiao Wanwan looked at her in confusion. “You know he doesn’t like you, you know there’s no future for you two, so why do you still let yourself get involved?”
"Why is it impossible for us? Isn't it all because of you!" Cheng Zaozao suddenly became agitated, questioning, "Sister, do you know how lucky you are? He loves you so much, to the point of obsession, yet you are never satisfied, and even hurt him... Do you know, if he could just give me a little bit of the love he has for you, I would be the happiest woman in the world... So I both envy you and hate you, envy that you have all his love, and hate that you don't cherish his kindness..."
"You hate me for such a morally corrupt and selfish man?" Qiao Wanwan tried to hold back her tears, but they still fell uncontrollably. "I am your sister. We grew up together and depended on each other. I don't expect you to remember my good deeds, but you actually erased our relationship so easily for a man and turned around to hate me?"
"You just want to call me an ingrate, don't you?" Cheng Zaozao said with a faint smile, "I admit I am an ingrate. I love Brother Lin Mo, and I hate everyone who makes him unhappy!"
"I was blind, I didn't see your true colors, and I kept treating you well. You ungrateful wretch, I raised you with my own hands, I deserve to be bitten by you..." Qiao Wanwan suddenly smiled, raising her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, "Now I realize that I never understood you. Beneath your gentle exterior, you actually hide a heart more ruthless and heartless than anyone else. And then what happened? With your skill in disguising yourself, appearing indifferent and unassuming on the surface, your ambition behind the scenes should be impossible for anyone to suppress. You must have gone to fight for your own feelings, right?"
Cheng Zaozao laughed out loud, "Sister, congratulations, you finally understand me completely. That's right, Brother Lin Mo loves you so much that he's in pain, so of course I have to pull him out of the swamp of pain and heal him with all my love."
"Finally, one night, I went to his house to find him. He was drinking alone, and I stayed with him to comfort him. We couldn't help but hug each other, and I gave him everything..."
“Impossible,” Qiao Wanwan said calmly. “If Lin Mo were that easygoing, he wouldn’t keep getting stuck on this. He would never touch you so easily because he knows that once I find out about this, I will never forgive him.”
Cheng Zaozao took a sip of red wine. "He was drunk at the time."
"That's impossible," Qiao Wanwan said. "Jiangnan, tell me, when you men are completely drunk, do you still have that kind of ability?"
Jiang Nan: "......???" Why did you have to ask him such a question!
"Um... Madam... I... I've never tried it."
"In short, that's impossible." Qiao Wanwan looked at Cheng Zaozao. "You drugged him, didn't you?"
Cheng Zaozao's hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly, but she quickly smiled and said, "That's right, I drugged him because only I can soothe his pain of unrequited love. Only if I give myself to him can he slowly forget you. How about it? Is that not okay?"
Qiao Wanwan smiled and said, "You're good at making excuses for your dirty deeds, but I don't care what happened between the two of you. You should have told me sooner, and maybe I would have given you some money as funding for your elopement."
Are you mocking me?
"I'm serious, you should have told me sooner."
"How can I tell you?" Cheng Zaozao's eyes were bloodshot as she gritted her teeth and said, "I drugged him, and while he was embracing me, he was calling out your name. How can I tell you? Sister, I'm grateful to you for raising me, but I also destroyed my love with your own hands. I've already paid back what I owed you..."
Qiao Wanwan asked, "Didn't he blame you after he woke up?"
"That's strange." Cheng Zaozao burst into tears. "I told him how I felt, but he scolded me, saying that he only saw me as a sister, and that it was only because of you that he paid more attention to me. He told me not to be presumptuous. He was angry and upset, and didn't know how to explain this to you."
"So I told him that I wouldn't tell you about this, and that we should pretend that nothing had ever happened. He thought about it and realized that this was the best solution, so he agreed."
Qiao Wanwan's expression darkened slightly. "Things have developed to this point, can't you see what a scumbag he is? Are you still unwilling to give up? Are you still stubbornly clinging to your so-called love?"
