An Mingzhu hurriedly asked, "What's the reason?"
"The reason is simple: Grandpa likes me but not you. I think the most likely reason is—"
Lin Chuxia deliberately dragged out her words, and then, amidst An Mingzhu's tense expression, she said in a light and cheerful voice, "Perhaps Grandpa just has a natural ability to spot a bitch!"
An Mingzhu's face contorted in shock, but quickly, she put on a tearful expression.
"Early Summer, it really hurts me to hear you say that! We should be the closest of sisters, supporting each other, but I never expected... you would hold such a grudge against me..."
Just as Lin Chuxia was wondering why An Mingzhu was acting so hypocritically even though she was clearly furious, footsteps suddenly came from the doorway.
Immediately afterwards, An Mingyu's face, full of complicated emotions, appeared at the door.
The boy stood at the door glaring at her for a long time, seemingly wanting to rush in and argue with her, but for some reason, he stomped his foot, glared at her angrily, and left.
As the footsteps faded into the distance, An Mingzhu's smile grew even brighter.
Lin Chuxia, so what if the old man likes you the most?
He's just an old geezer; he might just kick the bucket any day. Do you think he can protect you for life?
As long as she keeps her parents' and Mingyu's hearts firmly in her heart, she will still be the true eldest daughter of the An family!
Lin Chuxia knew that she had been tricked by An Mingzhu again, but this was not the first time, so she didn't care anymore.
At first, she did care and wanted to explain, but... no one believed her.
"Get out, I need to rest," Lin Chuxia said, shooing him away.
An Mingzhu approached Lin Chuxia with a smile, pretending to be intimate as she tried to take her arm: "Chuxia, we sisters haven't had a proper chat since you came back. Now that we both have some time, why don't we have a good talk?"
Lin Chuxia avoided her movement, pointed towards the door, and said coldly, "Get out!"
However, An Mingzhu moved closer again, this time reaching directly for Lin Chuxia's collar—
"Early Summer, just tell me honestly, where did you go last night?"
An Mingzhu came here with ulterior motives from the beginning; her accidental "smearing" of Lin Chuxia in front of An Mingyu was just a side effect.
She made an agreement with Lin Chuxia's roommate that she would send her a message whenever Lin Chuxia was not staying in the dormitory.
She already knew yesterday that Lin Chuxia hadn't returned to the dormitory, otherwise she wouldn't have instigated Xie Jinya to call Lin Chuxia back so early in the morning.
I've been pretending not to know all this time, just holding back for this moment.
An Mingzhu has concluded that even if Lin Chuxia got into university based on her own grades, it is a fact that her private life is chaotic!
She didn't come home at night; she must have been out fooling around with some unknown old man.
An Mingzhu's expression was sinister, catching Lin Chuxia off guard and directly launching a sneak attack.
However, she reacted quickly, raising her foot and kicking An Mingzhu hard in the stomach—
"ah--"
An Mingzhu screamed in pain, tears welling up in her eyes.
The loud noise also attracted Xie Jinya and An Mingyu.
"Early Summer, why did you kick me so hard just now?"
An Mingzhu, the villain, filed a false accusation first.
