Ever since Chen Ziyan was provoked on Fu Zhen's birthday, she was too lazy to pretend to be well-behaved. She showed her true colors and competed with Qiao Chu everywhere in school. The purpose of every word she said was to oppose Qiao Chu. However, her behavior did not affect Qiao Chu at all. She watched Chen Ziyan's mess in front of her with great interest, just like watching a monkey show, just to kill time. She was too lazy to argue with her. In her opinion, such childish tricks were really childish. It would be better to study instead of fighting.
After doing this for a long time without causing any waves, Chen Ziyan finally lost her patience. That day, it happened to be the free time of their class's physical education class. She cornered the lone Qiao Chu in an empty corner, hoping to have a head-on confrontation.
“Qiao Chu, you are so despicable!”
"Despicable?" Qiao Chu was puzzled. Did she?
"Stop pretending to be stupid!" Chen Ziyan looked at her innocent face and her inner anger was ignited. "You appear to be living a peaceful life on the surface, but you use despicable means behind the scenes!"
"Excuse me, what tricks did I use?" Qiao Chu was puzzled. How come she didn't know it herself?
"If it weren't for you, why would Brother Jinzhi let my brother take me back to Beijing? I finally convinced my family to let me study here. I just wanted to be with Brother Jinzhi up close. Now, even this little wish of mine has been shattered! How can you be so cruel!"
From childhood to adulthood, it has become Chen Ziyan's habit to accompany Fu Zhen from afar. Although he has other girls by his side now, she still believes that she is the most suitable one for Fu Zhen. As long as she stays by his side, one day, Fu Zhen will turn around and see her, and there will always be a day when she will find a chance to win Fu Zhen back! But now, all of this has been ruined by Qiao Chu! Chen Ziyan felt that she could not accept it. All the jealousy and anger that she had suppressed for a long time surged into her heart. Her voice became hoarse. Fortunately, there was no one around here, otherwise it would have attracted onlookers.
Qiao Chu was a little surprised when she heard her words. She really didn't know about this matter. Fu Zhen didn't tell her. She looked at Chen Ziyan and told the truth: "I didn't do this. I just found out about it now."
She is not a jealous person, and she is not weak enough to go to her boyfriend in private to tell on him and ask him to deal with her love rival. This matter should be Fu Zhen's own decision.
But Chen Ziyan didn't believe it. She was now blinded by anger. "It's not you? Stop lying! Everything is caused by you. Why are you pretending to be innocent? Not only did you let Brother Jinzhi get me away, but you also killed Peng Yu because he offended you last time. He has been sent abroad by his family and can never come back! Are you satisfied now? How can you be so vicious!"
"Peng Yu?" Qiao Chu hasn't seen this person since Yun Shangyue last time. He didn't expect that he was sent abroad? It seemed to be Fu Zhen's work, he was venting his anger for her. However, that person is indeed disgusting. He deserves this fate, right?
"Peng Yu said something incoherent and even tried to molest me. Shouldn't he be punished? Besides, do you really think I should be blamed for this? Don't you feel guilty?" Qiao Chu looked straight into Chen Ziyan's eyes and ruthlessly pierced through her hypocritical mask. "You only come here now to defend him. What were you doing before? If you had known this would happen, why did you encourage him to do that?"
"What did you say? Stop spitting blood on me!"
"Hmph!" Qiao Chu snorted coldly, "Chen Ziyan, stop pretending. There's no one else here. Who are you pretending to be innocent and kind to? Wasn't it you who ordered Peng Yu? I've never met him before, why did he bother me for no reason? Could he be a psychopath? What he said that day was asking me to leave Fu Zhen. Wasn't it for you? You're the only one who wants me to break up with Fu Zhen. Don't tell me that this was Peng Yu's own idea. Could it be that he has a crush on Fu Zhen? His words that day have been exposed. You found him here, and I haven't settled the score with you yet, but you came here first. You're the despicable one, not me!"
"Yes, I instructed Peng Yu to do that."
There were only the two of them here, and Chen Ziyan felt that there was really no need for her to hide it any longer. Besides, they had already torn their faces apart, so there was nothing that could not be said. She simply admitted it. However, she did not think that she had done anything wrong. In her opinion, all the mistakes were due to Qiao Chu. If she had not appeared, there would not have been so many things.
"Qiao Chu, this is all your fault! It was you who stole my brother Jinzhi away. From the first time I saw brother Jinzhi in kindergarten, he has always been the only one in my eyes and in my heart! For so many years, all my efforts and persistence were to be worthy of him. Although he has never accepted me, he is even more cruel to other girls. I am the only girl who can appear by his side, the only one! However, this privilege changed after you appeared. He actually asked my brother to send me away... and asked me not to appear in front of you again... It was you who stole my love! Now I don’t even have the qualifications to look at him from afar!"
Chen Ziyan became more and more excited as she spoke. By the end, she was already in tears. She stared at Qiao Chu with red eyes and hoarsely shouted out all the resentment in her heart.
Qiao Chu sighed as he looked at her. This girl had been pampered since she was a child. This was probably the only setback she had ever experienced. She might not be able to accept it for a while. She could only try to comfort him, hoping to make the matter less serious. After all, this is a school, and they are all students. There is no need to make a big fuss over emotional matters. She softened her tone and said to Chen Ziyan, "You can't force emotional matters. If Fu Zhen had any thoughts about you, you would have been together a long time ago. How could it be my turn? Feelings are a matter between two people, not something that one person can decide. It is not as simple as going to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. If you like someone, it's yours. Feelings require mutual consent. Fu Zhen has his own ideas and he has the right to choose the person he likes. We are two free people. We are together because we like each other. There is no such thing as stealing someone's love. What you call love is just your wishful thinking. If you say that if you like someone, it must be yours, then isn't the world in chaos? In fact, it may not be a bad thing for you and your brother to leave here. There are many boys in the world who are better than Fu Zhen. If you calm down and get out of the shackles of your heart, you will find that the outside world is very broad, and life is not just about love. You have more choices than just Fu Zhen."
Qiao Chu's words were heartfelt advice. She really hoped that Chen Ziyan could turn back from her wrong path and not hang herself on Fu Zhen's tree. However, she was destined to be talking to a deaf ear. Chen Ziyan's vision was too narrow. She was not lucky enough to live two lives like Qiao Chu, and she could not see through many things. Except for Fu Zhen, she had been getting whatever she wanted since she was a child. Over time, Fu Zhen had become her obsession, her entire world, and her only pursuit. Now that this world had collapsed, she felt that her entire world was destroyed as well. She felt hopeless at this moment. How could she listen to what Qiao Chu said?
"Don't gloat over my misfortune here! You are the happiest when I leave! Isn't this exactly what you want? No one will compete with you for Brother Jinzhi anymore. You are the winner now, so of course it's easy for you to say that!" She wiped the tears from her face, raised her head and looked at Qiao Chu with a vicious expression, "Qiao Chu, you won't succeed! Brother Jinzhi will be mine!"
She clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and yelled with all her strength: "Just wait!"
Qiao Chu looked at her face flashing with crazy obsession, his heart filled with helplessness, and he gave up the idea of continuing to persuade her.
After all, you can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep.
On Saturday, a holiday, in a quiet cafe.
Qiao Chu took a sip of the orange juice in front of him, looked at the girl opposite him, and asked, "Sister, why are you back? What's the matter that made you ask me to come here so anxiously?"
She didn't expect to see Qiao Li again so soon. It had only been a week since they last met. Although Jing City and Hai City were not far away by plane, there was no need to travel back and forth so frequently, right?
Qiao Li didn't say anything. She stirred the coffee in front of her with a small spoon, looking very worried. After a while, she said, "Chu Chu, I came here today to ask you for a favor."
"What's the matter?" Qiao Chu looked up and asked. She couldn't imagine that Qiao Li would ask her for help with anything. She and her mother now lived a wealthy life in Beijing. Logically, she should not have to worry about anything.
"Chu Chu, although we have not been very close since we were young, we are sisters after all. Blood is thicker than water. At critical moments, we still have to rely on blood ties. Chu Chu, you must help your sister!"
Qiao Li reached out and held Qiao Chu's hand, and said emotionally.
Qiao Chu looked at her and thought she was in trouble. She comforted her, "Sister, don't worry. Talk slowly. I will help you if I can."
Qiao Li breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what she said, and then she said, "Chu Chu, you know, I'm in love with Ziang now. We've finally been together, and we've been through a lot. We have a very deep relationship. However, you also know that with his family, our relationship is bound to encounter many obstacles. Now... you're in such a mess with his sister, I... I really don't know what to do..."
As she spoke, she began to wipe away her tears sadly.
Qiao Chu frowned slightly, "Sister, what happened between me and Chen Ziyan has nothing to do with you. Besides, she was the one who kept pestering me, and I have already given in."
One of the reasons why she has always been so tolerant of Chen Zi Yan is because of her sister Qiao Li. After all, they are a family. Although she and her mother once abandoned her, she still doesn't want to go to extremes. Making a small concession is her final return for this family affection.
"Chu Chu, even if my sister begs you to leave Fu Zhen, Chen Ziyan will not let go. If you continue to fight with her, what should I do? Ziang has always loved his sister very much. If she gets hurt because of you, he will not forgive me, and then our relationship will be over!"
Qiao Li was crying with tears in her eyes and looked at Qiao Chu with a pleading look on her face.
Qiao Chu was speechless. She was annoyed by these people. Why did so many people come to persuade her to break up with Fu Zhen recently? Moreover, each reason is more bizarre than the other. What does her feelings have to do with these people? She and Fu Zhen are both single and in love with each other, so who are they bothering? Why are you so persistent?
She looked at Qiao Li, her tone no longer as gentle as before, "Sister, the relationship between Fu Zhen and I is our own private matter, and it has nothing to do with anyone else. The relationship between you and Chen Ziang is also your own private matter, and it has nothing to do with us. If Chen Ziyan's matter affects your relationship and makes you unable to be together in the end, then you should also reflect on yourselves. Breaking up for such a reason only shows that your relationship is not firm enough! Besides, from the beginning to the end, it was not me who was fighting with Chen Ziyan. It was she who had always liked Fu Zhen unilaterally and regarded him as her property. She was too paranoid. You should persuade her."
"Chu Chu, please have pity on me. Ziang and I have finally come to this point. I really can't live without him!" Qiao Li held Qiao Chu's hand tightly and begged, "Chu Chu, I will definitely treat you well in the future. I will definitely compensate you! You are so beautiful and outstanding now. Even if you don't have Fu Zhen, you will meet many better boys! Please don't compete with Chen Ziyan, okay? They said that as long as you agree to let go, they are willing to compensate you. As long as you ask, there will be absolutely no problem!"
"They?" Qiao Chu's eyes narrowed. "Who are they?"
"They..." Qiao Li stammered, not knowing how to answer.
Qiao Chu smiled sarcastically, "Did Chen Ziang ask you to come? Or was it the elders in Chen Ziang's family? Sister, you are indeed my favorite daughter. You and mom are so much alike! In order to marry into a wealthy family, you did everything you could. Mom abandoned her husband and daughter, but you asked your own sister to give up her feelings in exchange for your life of wealth and glory!"
Qiao Chu felt as if her heart had sunk into an ice cellar. She had originally held out a glimmer of hope for this family affection, but she had not expected that what she got in return was great disappointment. She should not have held out any illusions about this selfish mother and daughter!
"Chu Chu, don't misunderstand..." Qiao Li hurriedly explained, "I'm doing this for your own good. You and Fu Zhen will not have a future. You have never been to the Fu family, so you don't understand the complexity here. A big family is not as simple as you think. If you can't adapt to it, it's better to let go now. It doesn't matter how much money you want. The Chen family can afford it..."
"Sis, you don't have to say anything more." Qiao Chu interrupted her chattering persuasion, "Since you and mom have started a new life, let's not bother each other anymore. You live your rich life, and dad and I continue to live our ordinary life. It's fine like this. As for me and Fu Zhen... I think this relationship is aboveboard and I haven't let anyone down. Even if we break up one day, it's simply because of emotional incompatibility, not because of other coercion or inducement. Our three views are really different. It seems that we are not destined to be sisters. You... take care of yourself."
After saying that, Qiao Chu picked up her bag and left without hesitation.
"neat……"
Qiao Li watched her walk out of the coffee shop, hailed a taxi outside the door, and then disappeared from sight...
Her face was full of complexities, and she held the coffee cup with an extremely strong hand, even to the point where veins were bulging and she was trembling a little...
She just watched Qiao Chu go away, closed her eyes weakly, and after a while, opened them again -
At this moment, the hesitation and fragility in her eyes were gone, and all that was left was endless ruthlessness.
Chuchu, since you don't recognize me as your sister, from now on I will also regard you as my sister...
