"Little Bell!"
When the woman saw that it was Xiaoling, a weak smile appeared on her face.
The woman froze when she saw that there were people behind Xiaoling.
"Auntie, I'm Xiaoxue's friend, my name is Xia Lan!"
Xia Lan quickly stepped forward and introduced herself, her smile putting the woman at ease.
"Come in quickly!"
The woman glanced at Xia Lan and Xiao Ling, then stepped aside to let them in.
Xia Lan and Xiao Ling entered the house, and the whole place gave off a depressing feeling, with newspapers covering all the windows.
Xia Lan watched as the woman slowly walked to a room and knocked on the door.
"Xiaoxue, Xiaoling has brought people to see you, come out quickly!"
The woman knocked on the door and spoke, but there was still no response from inside the room for a long time.
The woman sighed heavily and walked to a corner where a memorial tablet was placed, with Qian Yao's name written on it.
"Squeak~"
With the sound of the door opening, Qian Xue, exuding a gloomy aura, slowly walked out of the room.
When Xia Lan saw Qian Xue, she couldn't believe it; this was the same lively and cheerful Qian Xue she used to know.
It's like he's become a completely different person.
"Xiaoxue".
Xia Lan slowly stepped forward, walked to Qian Xue, and gently hugged her.
"Lanlan..."
Xia Lan's hug made Qian Xue tremble. It was the first time she had been hugged since her sister's accident.
Xia Lan took Qian Xue's hand and slowly walked into her room.
Looking at the completely dark room, it would be strange if someone didn't feel emo in such an environment.
After letting Qian Xue sit down, Xia Lan went directly to the window and let the sunlight into the room.
Qian Xue, who hadn't been exposed to sunlight for a long time, immediately closed her eyes.
"ah!"
Qian Xue screamed in agony.
Are you prepared to live like this for the rest of your life?
"Yaoyao's death wasn't your fault, why are you torturing yourself like this?"
Xia Lan pulled up a chair and sat down in front of Qian Xue, scrutinizing her.
"Look at yourself now, you look like neither human nor ghost! And look at your mother, she's worried sick because of you!"
Xia Lan's words were stern.
Qian Xue was speechless, glancing at Xia Lan with self-reproach in her eyes.
"If it weren't for me..."
Qian Xue's eyes reddened, and she was stopped by Xia Lan before she could speak.
"This has absolutely nothing to do with you. Yao Yao is dating someone because she's fallen for him; it's her own decision. What does it have to do with you?"
Xia Lan's words were blunt. Xiao Ling, who was standing to the side, was afraid that Xia Lan's words would hurt Qian Xue. She was about to ask Xia Lan to pay attention to her emotions when she saw Qian Xue stand up.
"It was my fault. If I hadn't lost something that day, Yao Yao wouldn't have run into that man while trying to find it for me."
Qian Xue held her head, deeply blaming herself.
If it weren't for her, Qian Yao wouldn't have met that man, wouldn't have been entangled with him, wouldn't have...
"What you're saying makes no sense. If you go out to buy something, do you know in advance that you might encounter a pickpocket? With so many pickpockets around these days, would you stay home because you're afraid of them?"
Xia Lan looked at Qian Xue; this reason was completely untenable.
"..."
Qian Xue pursed her lips, confused by Xia Lan's words.
"Besides, it's that bastard's fault that Yao Yao was deceived. Why are you blaming yourself? Shouldn't you go find that bastard?"
Xia Lan became even angrier.
"Instead of wasting time being depressed here, you'd be better off beating up that bastard for Yao Yao, that would be much more satisfying!"
"What did you do to let him roam freely outside like this?"
"What...what can I do?"
Xia Lan said she wanted to avenge Qian Yao, and Qian Xue had certainly thought about it, but she didn't know how to help Qian Yao get revenge.
"That man and his mother went around saying that Yaoyao was immoral, and her father and mother also got involved because of these rumors..."
Qian Xue wiped away her tears, feeling utterly useless.
"They did such disgusting things to get rid of their burdens, you can say that too!"
"He's promiscuous and has a bad character, aren't those facts?"
"Why is it that only he has a mouth, while you guys don't?"
Xia Lan deliberately spoke loudly, so that Qian's mother in the living room could hear as well.
"..."
Qian Xue was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xia Lan.
"But……"
"What 'but' is there? Aren't the things he did true? Or are you having some kind of psychological burden?"
Xia Lan looked at Qian Xue and stared directly into her eyes.
"He is an evil person, a disgusting man, and a bastard who toyed with Yao Yao. He drove Yao Yao to her death, and he deserves to be punished!"
"There's nothing wrong with being kind-hearted, but that's not a reason for him to bully you!"
"A kind person is often bullied, and a good horse is often ridden."
"He caused Yao Yao's death, how can we just let him live a carefree life?"
Xia Lan's words struck Qian Xue's heart with each and every one of them.
"If you all hide at home every day, people will only think that your family has admitted to the nonsense they've been spouting. We know Yao Yao better than anyone else what kind of girl she is!"
"We must get justice for her! We must make that bastard receive the punishment he deserves!"
"right!"
A voice came from the living room.
Qian Xue paused for a moment, then looked towards the living room.
Then, Qian's mother walked over with a determined look in her eyes.
"mom……"
Qian Xue looked at her mother, and the light in her mother's eyes infected Qian Xue.
"We were foolish to just put up with it! She's right, we should avenge Yao Yao!"
The mother's eyes were blazing with anger. Both her daughters were her precious treasures, and she knew their character better than anyone. There was no way they would do such a thing. There must be some misunderstanding.
Furthermore, the man's family went too far.
Qian Yao didn't need to prove her innocence with her death. She chose to end her life because she felt guilty towards her family and couldn't believe that the man she had carefully chosen would treat her like this.
The real culprit behind this tragedy was someone who continued to seek out other women.
How can we tolerate this?
"You're right! We can't go on like this!"
Qian's mother walked up to Xia Lan and said to her.
“Auntie, Yao Yao and Xue Xue are both my friends. This matter is not only yours, but also mine.”
"Me too!"
Xiaoling quickly raised her hand; she wanted to help too.
"That bastard must pay the price! We must clear Yao Yao's name!"
Xia Lan said seriously, her face serious.
"Have you figured out a plan? How do you plan to do it? Do you have an idea? Tell us, and we'll follow your instructions."
Seeing Xia Lan's expression, Xiao Ling knew that Xia Lan must have a plan.
Xia Lan smiled and beckoned to them with her finger.
Qian Yao and her mother came closer, and Xia Lan whispered the plan in their ears.
As Xiaoling listened, she heard something that made her eyes widen in surprise, her gaze filled with admiration as she looked at Xia Lan.
"That's a good idea, let's do it your way!"
Even Qian Mu couldn't help but nod in agreement.
