Lin Qinghuan watched Lin Piaoxue's expression change repeatedly, feeling a sense of satisfaction as if she had finally gotten her revenge. She was extremely pleased with herself.
"Lin Piaoxue, my dear sister, I admire your eloquence. You can turn black into white. With that mouth of yours, you should become a lawyer. You'd be invincible and become a top lawyer."
Lin Piaoxue's eyes instantly filled with tears. With a blink, tears fell like pearls. She took out a handkerchief and gently wiped away the tears on her face. She looked at Lin Qinghuan pitifully and said with feigned strength, "Qinghuan, you are not likable. You should reflect on yourself and why you are so disliked. Instead of targeting me out of jealousy, that's unfair to me."
Lin Piaoxue started to cry softly as she spoke, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Lin Xin glared at Lin Qinghuan and quickly went to comfort Lin Piaoxue.
Wang Kun's eyes darkened. Lin Piaoxue had this pitiful appearance, which made him devoted to her for more than ten years. But when he was beaten by Lin Qinghuan, she stood by and watched as he was bullied by Lin Qinghuan.
Lin Piaoxue's attitude saddened Wang Kun. He had treated Lin Piaoxue with all his heart over the years, but he couldn't get a single bit of her affection in return. Wang Kun felt heartbroken; he had fed her enough of his deep affection over the years.
Seeing Lin Piaoxue crying sadly, Li Jian felt extremely sorry for her. He put aside all his concerns and looked at Lin Qinghuan with resentment and anger.
Lin Qinghuan glared back at Li Jian's fierce expression, then waved at him. Li Jian's pupils contracted slightly, and the fear that had been forgotten returned instantly. He lowered his head with lingering fear.
Qin Zhen smiled when he saw this.
Lin Qinghuan sneered and whispered in Qin Zhen's ear, "See? This scheming and cunning makes it seem like I'm a vicious girl, but I'm the one who's being bullied."
Qin Zhen felt a warmth on his ear, and his calm eyes rippled. His voice involuntarily softened as he said, "Lin Piaoxue is indeed capable. No wonder you have been suppressed by her and suffered so much injustice over the years."
Lin Qinghuan warned, "Qin Zhen, you must not be bewitched by Lin Piaoxue. If you marry her, she may bring ruin to your Qin family for three generations."
"No," Qin Zhen said.
Qin Zhen disliked Lin Piaoxue, a woman with deep scheming. Spending a lifetime with such a woman would be too tiring. Life is only a few decades long, so why not live each day happily?
Seeing how close Lin Qinghuan and Qin Zhen were, Lin Piaoxue was so angry that her eyes turned red. "That brat! She's so young and already knows how to seduce people, and he's the rich husband she's eyeing!"
Lin Xin looked at Lin Qinghuan with disgust and said, "Lin Qinghuan, you are not likable yourself, how can you blame your sister? She didn't let Li Jian and the others beat you up on purpose, so why can't you forgive her?"
"Don't advise others to be kind if you haven't experienced their suffering," Lin Qinghuan said sarcastically.
Qin Zhen looked at Li Jian and Wang Kun and said, "A real man would not hit a woman. Lin Qinghuan is my friend, and I hope you will not bully Lin Qinghuan again."
Lin Qinghuan said, "They are not men, they are cowards who bully the weak and fear the strong."
Qin Zhen was unwilling to stay any longer and said to Lin Qinghuan, "Qinghuan, I'm leaving. Take care of yourself. If you are bullied by others, don't suffer in silence. You must know how to fight back."
Lin Qinghuan smiled upon hearing Qin Zhen's words and said, "I understand. I won't let anyone bully me."
Qin Zhen smiled with relief and said, "That's good."
As Lin Qinghuan watched Qin Zhen walk further and further away, she felt a little emotional. She hadn't expected that Qin Zhen wouldn't look down on her and would even call her his friend.
Seeing Qin Zhen leave without even saying goodbye, Lin Piaoxue blamed everything on Lin Qinghuan and said angrily, "Lin Qinghuan, why do you keep ruining my reputation?"
Lin Qinghuan scoffed and said, "Compared to what you've done, my actions are nothing. Qin Zhen won't marry you. If you want to marry into a rich family and become a young mistress, you'll have to find another target."
Li Jian and Wang Kun looked at Lin Piaoxue at the same time. It turned out that Lin Piaoxue didn't think much of them at all and only wanted to marry into a rich family. So, was the way she looked at them all these years, with her hesitant expression, just keeping them hanging on?
Lin Piaoxue ignored the gazes cast by Li Jian and Wang Kun. It was better that they knew, so that they wouldn't always be crowding around her and affecting her search for a boyfriend.
Lin Qinghuan looked at Li Jian and Wang Kun and laughed, saying sarcastically, "I told you, simps will end up with nothing."
Wang Kun and Li Jian's faces turned pale and then red, looking as ugly as a palette of colors, but they were helpless against Lin Qinghuan and could only swallow their anger.
Wang Xin's gaze towards Lin Piaoxue was obscure and difficult to understand. She had always thought that Lin Piaoxue would either marry Li Jian or Wang Kun, but Lin Piaoxue actually wanted to marry into the city. So, was it a bit shameless of her to take Wang Kun and Li Jian's kindness for granted?
