Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
He Zhiqing felt a wave of dizziness and almost let out a curse!
“I’m not worthy of my cousin? Ha, who do you think you are? What right do you have to say such things?!”
Qiao Xuan replied, “It’s not about who I am or who you are. What matters is Mr. Xie’s own judgment. What do you think he would say about your actions today?”
He Zhiqing seethed with anger and embarrassment. “Which esteemed family is without blemish and can pass judgment on others? Hmph, if Fifth Madam Shao believes that, she’s naïve! What’s wrong with me employing a little trick? I had no other choice. I admit I intended to use Miss Shao, but I never intended to harm her!”
Qiao Xuan was so infuriated that she burst into laughter. “Miss He, you have exploited Taotao. A lady, who is a guest, ended up falling into the water, a highly embarrassing situation. What did you do to her? Moreover, Taotao is not adept at swimming, and you cannot guarantee that you could save her in time. What if? What if she got injured as a result? Have you ever considered that? No, you haven’t! You have used and sacrificed others for your own selfish interests, and you have the audacity to justify it! How shameless can you be?”
“You…”
“I don’t know if esteemed families can maintain their purity, and you don’t need to inform me about it. However, this is the first time I have encountered someone so self-centered and heartless, willing to use another person’s life for personal gain!”
“How dare you claim that you are worthy of Eldest Young Master Xie?”
“I think you should give up as soon as possible! Eldest Young Master Xie is not someone bound by conventions. He doesn’t have any affection for you. Even if you resort to tricks, unless you’re confident that you can deceive him, he will never marry you. So, do you have the confidence to deceive him?”
Qiao Xuan’s blunt words shocked He Zhiqing.
A dull ache throbbed in her chest, leaving her too disheartened to utter a word in response.
Qiao Xuan’s words had struck a chord.
“This is my affair. It has nothing to do with you! You are obstructing my path to be with Eldest Cousin. Could it be that you have feelings for him? I advise you to give up immediately! At least I still have some hope, but you aren’t even worthy of that!”
He Zhiqing was so infuriated by Qiao Xuan’s words that she couldn’t control herself any longer.
Qiao Xuan didn’t respond with the same intensity as she had anticipated. Instead, she regarded He Zhiqing with sympathy and said, “Why must you say such outrageous things? It doesn’t change anything! Why force something that doesn’t belong to you? This isn’t a courtship; it’s a lack of self-respect.”
He Zhiqing quivered with anger. “What do you know?! You know nothing!”
Giving Qiao Xuan a fierce glare, she stormed off.
Qiao Xuan’s eyes flickered. She couldn’t be sure if He Zhiqing had truly heard her or not.
But she had given her a deadline of three days. He Zhiqing pretending to be deaf and mute wouldn’t make a difference. If He Zhiqing didn’t leave the Xie Family within three days, Qiao Xuan would indeed inform Xie Jingrong.
How could she not seek justice for Taotao, whom He Zhiqing had tried to harm?
Moreover, now that she was aware of He Zhiqing’s intentions, she couldn’t simply stand by and watch her deceive Xie Jingrong.
Qiao Xuan turned around and headed back to find Taotao.
Little did she know that after she and He Zhiqing had departed, Xie Jingrong slowly emerged from behind the vine-covered rockery.
His eyes flickered, his expression a mix of complexity…
