Chapter 91 Collapse
Xie Hanyue originally wanted to see Xie Qingran break down, but she never expected that she would have such an expression.
Her eyebrows furrowed tightly as she stared coldly at Xie Qingran: "What tricks are you playing?"
"I'm getting married soon, what tricks can I possibly play?"
"Actually, I've always known that I'm inferior to you in every way—not as talented, not as good-looking, and even our parents and brother prefer you. So, little sister, how could I possibly overestimate myself and compete with you?"
Xie Qingran only wanted to get married peacefully, so she absolutely could not allow any trouble to happen at this time.
Hearing this, Xie Hanyue felt visibly better. She snorted and lifted Xie Qingran's chin, saying, "Sister, you're getting better and better at talking now. Let me tell you, don't think that just because you're married, it's over. If you don't live a good life, I'll still make you wish you were dead!"
Xie Qingran absolutely believed this, after all, that's exactly what she did in her previous life.
Xie Qingran didn't say anything more, just smiled faintly and took Xie Hanyue's hand: "Don't worry, we're not on the same path anymore. What you like, I don't want."
"You!" Xie Hanyue frowned, instinctively trying to pull her hand back.
But Xie Qingran held on very tightly, and she couldn't pull away at all.
Seeing this, Xie Hanyue became a little anxious: "Sister, what are you doing?"
"nothing."
Xie Qingran smiled and released her hand.
The next instant, Xie Hanyue fell to the ground.
"Xie Qingran, what are you doing!"
Why do you always bully Hanyue!
Xie Zhaoye rushed over like a cannonball, shoved Xie Qingran aside, and bent down to help Xie Hanyue up from the ground.
Xie Qingran swayed and took a step back uncontrollably, her lower back hitting the table hard, causing her to gasp in pain.
"Brother, what brings you here?"
When Xie Hanyue saw Xie Zhaoye, her eyes immediately welled up with tears, and she looked incredibly pitiful.
Seeing her like this, Xie Zhaoye felt even more strongly that Xie Qingran must have done something outrageous!
He immediately shielded the person behind him, looking at Xie Qingran with displeasure: "Yue'er kindly delivered the invitation to you, and you attacked her! How could you have such a vicious sister! You should apologize to Yue'er right now!"
"You're a vicious brother too, so why can't I be a vicious sister?" Xie Qingran forced herself to sit down slowly on a chair, raised an eyebrow, and looked at Xie Zhaoye with a half-smile.
Xie Zhaoye was stunned for a moment, then reacted, his eyebrows furrowing tightly: "Xie Qingran, how could you be so despicable? If you're unhappy with me, just come at me, why are you bullying Hanyue!"
"Brother, that's enough, let's stop arguing."
"My sister didn't do anything to me. It was my fault. I accidentally fell down."
Xie Hanyue grabbed Xie Zhaoye's arm, trying to stop him from continuing.
Upon hearing this, Xie Zhaoye became even more agitated. He stepped forward and stared intently at Xie Qingran, saying, "Apologize."
Snap!
He arrived just in time; Xie Qingran's slap landed perfectly on his face.
"You, you dare to hit me?"
Xie Zhaoye looked at Xie Qingran in disbelief.
Xie Qingran shook her wrist, looked at Xie Zhaoye with an innocent expression, and said calmly, "But didn't you say that if I had a problem, I should take it out on you? Brother, what's wrong with you? Why are you unhappy if I really do take it out on you?"
"you?"
Xie Zhaoye's face burned, and his heart was churning. He found it hard to believe that Xie Qingran would say such unreasonable things.
Isn't she the one who knows the rules best?
"Sister, please don't be angry, please don't hit brother!"
"Why don't you just hit me!"
Xie Hanyue rushed over quickly and hurriedly stood in front of Xie Zhaoye, frowning as she looked at Xie Qingran, her body trembling slightly.
Seeing the deep affection between the siblings, Xie Qingran found it incredibly cloying.
"I don't want to say another word. Get out!"
Xie Qingran pointed to the door, her eyebrows furrowed tightly.
The next moment, Zhao Yuanqi opened the door and walked in, only to witness this scene.
He was still wearing silver-white armor, and his features were strikingly handsome, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes.
What are you all doing here?
As soon as Zhao Yuanqi entered, he smiled at everyone.
Xie Qingran was horrified when she first saw this person, but then she thought that it would be better if Baozhu hadn't gone out.
"Brother Zhao, why are you back!"
I miss you so much!
Xie Hanyue immediately rushed over happily, hugged Zhao Yuanqi's arm, and kept shaking it and acting coquettishly.
"You've lost so much weight! Have you been working really hard lately?"
"The frontier is harsh and cold; I'm sorry to have wronged you!"
Xie Hanyue looked at Zhao Yuanqi with a face full of heartache.
They grew up together, so they're definitely closer than most people.
Just like when they were children, Zhao Yuanqi gently touched Xie Hanyue's cheek and said with a smile, "Yue'er, you've grown up so much!"
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yuanqi's gaze fell on Xie Qingran, with a faint smile: "Qingran, it's been a long time."
The Xie and Zhao families are old friends, so Xie Qingran knew Zhao Yuanqi before she went to the manor. The two were childhood sweethearts and grew up together.
However, in her previous life, Zhao Yuanqi imprisoned her in the general's mansion, and the things he did to her were unforgettable for Xie Qingran.
She stood up and bowed respectfully to Zhao Yuanqi: "Greetings, General Zhao."
"Qingran, we grew up together, what are you doing? Why are you being so polite?" Zhao Yuanqi was also taken aback, looking at Xie Qingran with some confusion.
Xie Zhaoye walked over and lightly tapped him on the shoulder, then said irritably, "The moment you walked in, all you saw were your two younger sisters, couldn't you see me?"
"Brother Zhaoye!"
Zhao Yuanqi looked at Xie Zhaoye with a smile, and then gave him a big hug.
Anyone looking at Zhao Yuanqi would think he's a sunny and cheerful young man. But only Xie Qingran probably knows how dark and despicable his heart truly is!
However, Xie Qingran did not show any abnormality; she simply handled things in a businesslike and aloof manner.
"Brother Zhao, why don't you have dinner at home tonight? We'll treat you to a welcome dinner!" Xie Hanyue walked over, affectionately took Zhao Yuanqi's arm, her eyes crinkling with admiration as she looked at him.
