"Do you know how to work? Look at what you have made. Do you still think you are a young lady?"
Qu Xin was so angry that his face turned pale and his whole body was shaking.
"Don't bully me on purpose. I've done this for the third time. What else do you want?"
"Even if you do it a hundred times, what's the point? Miss, this thing you made is completely useless. Forget it, my temple is too small to support a big Buddha like you. Please find another job."
Qu Xin gritted her teeth and wanted to throw the document at the man's face. This was too much of a bully. He was obviously the one who was picking on her. If it had been in the past...
Qu Xin was deflated and gave up.
I walked to the door of the rental house, feeling exhausted, and heard a woman screaming and a man scolding inside.
"I'll beat you to death. You've raised a good daughter. You've been living a good life, but you've been courting death all day long. Now you've ruined your whole family. Are you happy???"
The sobbing voice of Qu's mother could be heard from inside the room: "How dare you blame your daughter? You and Chen got involved in those shameful things, which brought trouble to the family. What does this have to do with my daughter?"
"You're still protecting her? It has nothing to do with her? She was doing well as the eldest young lady of the Yuan family and the mother of the young master, but she ended up courting death and offended Yuan Tingchuan. Now even her own son doesn't recognize her.
If it weren't for her, would Yuan Tingchuan have attacked our family? Would our family have gone bankrupt? The reason I went to find that Chen woman was because Yuan Tingchuan had cut off our funding chain. And you still say it has nothing to do with her? I wish I could strangle her to death!
Qu's mother said in a sharp voice, "Don't be shameless. How many years have you been in contact with that Chen? How does this have anything to do with my daughter?"
"We're talking, but did I do it? It was just a backup plan. If Yuan Tingchuan hadn't forced me into a corner, would I have taken such a risk?"
Qu Bin's voice came from inside the room: "Noisy, noisy, noisy all day long, what's the point? Are you going to eat or not?"
Hearing her son's cry of hunger, Qu's mother's voice softened. "We're out of oil. Wait a moment until your sister comes back. Ask her to buy some oil. It's almost time for her to get her salary. I'll buy you some meat tomorrow morning."
After a pause, Qu's mother hesitated and said, "How about you find a job? You studied abroad and are familiar with the company's affairs. You're better than your sister. If you find a job, the salary won't be low, right?"
Qu Bin sneered, "Looking for a job? Why should I look for a job? My wife has gone abroad with the children and divorced me. I'm all alone now, living from today to tomorrow. Who the hell am I supposed to support by looking for a job?"
"How can you talk like that, kid?"
"Anyway, I'm not looking for a job. We used to eat and drink together, and now I have to beg people for money, where's my dignity? I'd rather starve to death than go."
Qu's mother advised, "You are only thirty years old this year. You can't let your sister support you for the rest of your life, right?"
Qu Bin's sharp voice came from the room: "She lost the family company. Isn't it her responsibility to support me? I'm lucky I don't beat her up every day. Tell her not to mess with me. If she gets angry, I'll kill her."
Qu Xin was shaking with anger outside the door. He was dreaming about supporting these blood-sucking worms for the rest of his life!
She turned around and ran downstairs, but suddenly stopped. She couldn't live out alone. She had been willful in the past and had offended many people. It was too dangerous to live alone.
He turned around and looked up at the lights upstairs, then leaned against the wall tiredly. He slowly squatted down and hugged himself into a ball, shivering in the corner.
"What should I do? What should I do?"
A little boy ran past her, holding a small train in his hand, laughing as he ran. A woman's voice came from behind her: "Baby, stop running. Be careful not to fall and knock your teeth."
The woman ran up and held the little boy in her arms. The child hugged her neck and giggled. The mother and child gradually walked away.
Qu Xin stared blankly at the direction where the mother and son left, her heart twitching.
Shu Rui...
She recalled the way Yuan Shurui looked at her in the past, which changed from joyful anticipation to indifference and hatred, and finally to trembling fear.
She remembered the day she left the Yuan family. Yuan Tingchuan grabbed her arm with his iron-like hands, his eyes blazing with fire, as if he wanted to tear her into pieces.
This was Yuan Tingchuan whom she had never seen before.
In her memory, the man had always been elegant and noble, with a subtle hint of arrogance in his every move, and his eyes were sharp, cold and charming...
She was once completely obsessed with this man and fell into madness, wanting his gaze to stay on her, even for just a moment, which would make her very satisfied.
She looked forward to seeing her reflection in this man's eyes every day and night, but unfortunately, those eyes were cold and indifferent, without any sadness or joy, and without the slightest fluctuation.
The loneliness drove her crazy.
She looked at Yuan Shurui's little face that looked very similar to Yuan Tingchuan, and boundless resentment surged in her heart. Every time she took action, she felt a secret pleasure that made her unable to stop.
But the man's cold phoenix eyes still haunted her day and night, leaving her no peace.
Qu Xin reached out and touched her chest, as if she recalled the throbbing in her heart the moment the man's eyes rested on her.
She looked up at the sky, so high, so far away, just like that man, so out of her reach. No matter how hard she tried to reach out and touch him, he was still so far away...
A line of tears flowed from Qu Xin's eyes. If there is an afterlife, can she not meet this person again?
She worked hard to make money, burn more incense to the Buddha, and pray to the Buddha, praying that she and Yuan Tingchuan would not have to meet in the next life...
