Chapter 1265: Chapter 1265: Always With Me
Old Madam Lin had been recuperating at her vacation villa and was unaware of the tumultuous rumors about Rong Yan and Li Shengxiao that were circulating outside, nor had anyone mentioned Rong Yan’s situation to her.
She looked at the beautiful young girl in front of her with a surprised expression, "You and Shengxiao..."
Chu Xi pursed her lips and said softly, "These past few days I’ve been with him, he went to Rui City to handle some matters."
These past few days with him!
The statement dropped like a bombshell, Shen Siyuan’s complexion drastically altered, she couldn’t restrain her temper and immediately retorted, "You’re lying! How could Shengxiao possibly be with you!"
Chu Xi, facing her challenge, wasn’t nervous at all. She glanced at her haughtily as if looking at someone completely unrelated, "Why can’t he be with me? If he isn’t with me, is he with you?"
"You!"
Siyuan wanted to say something more with a stern face, but Su Yi interrupted her first, "That’s enough, Siyuan."
"Aunt," Siyuan’s cheeks turned slightly red, her watery eyes looked towards her, filled with grievance.
Su Yi acted as if she didn’t see, and shook her head at her, then politely addressed Chu Xi, "I’m friends with your mother, why didn’t she come this time?"
Chu Xi’s gaze flickered, "Her health hasn’t been good, she hasn’t been going out much these past few years."
"I see."
Su Yi didn’t probe further, naturally shifting the conversation to other topics.
It appeared that she was telling Siyuan to stop talking for Chu Xi’s sake, but Chu Xi was very aware that Su Yi was actually protecting Siyuan.
After all, she was currently assuming the identity of ’Miss Chu,’ and if Siyuan continued to argue with her, she would only stand to lose.
She felt uncomfortable inside, but she dared not disrespect Su Yi, so she gritted her teeth, endured her displeasure, and maintained a dignified and polite facade. Meanwhile, she savored the surprised and envious gazes from all around, feeling as if she truly had become the ’Chu Xi’ of the Chu Family!
...
Not far away, Qin Jun watched Chu Xi, who seemed to be the center of attention within the crowd, his eyes slightly narrowed as he lifted his glass of red wine to take a sip.
He disliked this woman since he could see restless ambition in her eyes.
Yet, his aunt insisted on elevating this distant relative, who was barely even related to them, and for the sake of making his aunt happy, he had temporarily acknowledged this so-called sister.
But it seemed some people were almost addicted to being his ’cheap sister’.
Just now, the sense of superiority she exuded from the inside out while facing Siyuan was disgusting—an understudy, after all, where did that feeling of superiority come from if not a dream!
He clenched the red wine glass in his hand, eyes burning with layers of coldness.
If Chu Xi behaved honestly, flattering his aunt, he could turn a blind eye to the benefits she reaped from his aunt, after all, the Chu Family was not short on money. However, if Chu Xi mistakenly thought she could be manipulative behind the scenes to truly turn from a sparrow into a phoenix, coveting everything Xixi had, he would personally cast her down to the eighteenth level of hell!
The Chu Family protect their own!
And so did he!
He knew clearly who his real sister was, Chu Xi, even if she shared the same name as Xi, a counterfeit is still a counterfeit.
Even if he couldn’t find Xi in the future, it would never be the turn of a counterfeit to permanently replace Xi’s identity!
Qin Jun lifted his wine glass, tilting his head back to drink all the wine left in the glass, coldly glancing at Chu Xi enjoying her sense of superiority, he put down the glass and silently left.
This black-hearted man, Li Shengxiao, had really given them a hard time, he still had to pay a visit to Lancity Clubhouse!
