Chapter 329: It’s Normal for You to Be Jealous of Me
Qiao Jiasen couldn’t help but frown and push her away: “Why are you blaming others irresponsibly? This has nothing to do with her. I wanted to go myself. Didn’t she make tireless efforts to get me out? Why are you still blaming her?”
Jiang Huiru wiped away her tears, her gaze at Qiao Yin filled with hostility: “I don’t believe this has nothing to do with her!”
“You used to be such an obedient and sensible child, how could you suddenly change like this? Not only do you no longer want to come home, but you even hit your father! You’ve become distant from both me and your father!”
“Now you’ve even got yourself involved with some ruthless black agency; you came back all battered and bruised, it pains my heart! I don’t believe there wasn’t someone behind all this causing trouble on purpose!”
“There are some evil-minded people out there, you are young and can’t distinguish between good and bad, but if you continue on like this, you will be ruined by her!”
Qiao Yin listened to her stepmother’s roundabout accusations, but this time she didn’t get angry.
Because, she indeed bore responsibility for Qiao Jiasen’s matters.
She felt extremely guilty.
Having been scolded by Qiao Jiasen’s mother, she could only endure it.
While she was listening, footsteps sounded from the second floor. Looking up, Qiao Yin saw Qiao Lainan coming down from the second floor.
She wasn’t wearing the pink dress at home but her old clothes.
Upon seeing Qiao Jiasen return, she first asked with concern, and then greeted Qiao Yin: “Cousin is here, thank you for bringing brother Jiasen back. Eldest Uncle and Eldest Aunt couldn’t eat due to worry over this matter.”
Qiao Yin frowned slightly: “Why do I get the feeling that you’re the host and I’m the guest?”
Qiao Lainan quickly shook her head: “No, cousin, perhaps I didn’t express myself well, please don’t get angry, I didn’t mean that.”
Qiao Haidong ordered his son to go upstairs and take a shower. After his son had gone upstairs, he turned around and scolded Qiao Yin: “Did you come specifically to cause trouble? You’re really despicable! One moment you send your brother into a black agency, the next you intentionally burn your cousin. How can the Qiao family produce a failure like you!”
“Only a failure has no right to call someone else a failure!”
Qiao Yin coldly retorted, her gaze falling on Qiao Lainan’s hand.
There were several blisters on her hand. Although the blisters had deflated, there were still obvious traces.
However, she was sure that when she left Lu Lingche’s office yesterday, there were no blisters on Qiao Lainan’s hand.
“I burned my cousin? When did this happen? I don’t know about it. Yesterday, it was clearly Qiao Lainan who intentionally squeezed my fractured wrist and burned me!”
“Qiao Yin, stop pretending!”
Qiao Haidong grabbed Qiao Lainan’s arm and showed her hand to Qiao Yin: “Look at the ‘great job’ you did! Lainan’s hand has become like this, how can you be so ruthless, even not sparing your own cousin!”
Qiao Yin didn’t know how Qiao Lainan’s hand had been burned. She thought for a moment, and felt there was only one possibility,” Qiao Lainan, you couldn’t not have intentionally burned yourself and framed me, right? Your heart is really ruthless towards yourself!”
Qiao Lainan shook her head pitifully: “How could I intentionally burn myself? Cousin, it’s okay, I don’t blame you, really.”
“It wasn’t you who burned yourself? Then who was it?”
Qiao Yin was a bit puzzled: “Could it be Lu Lingche? But that’s not likely, he likes you very much, doesn’t he?”
“Cousin, I really don’t blame you, you don’t need to lay the blame on others.”
Qiao Lainan adopted a magnanimous and gentle demeanor: “We are all family, there’s no grudge that cannot be resolved.”
“Cousin, I know you might be a bit jealous that Lingche likes me. It’s alright, I understand. After all, he’s the man you love but can’t have. You didn’t get his affection and I did; it’s normal for you to be jealous.”
“However, cousin, you need to let go when it’s time to let go. Lingche doesn’t like you, no matter what you do, it won’t have a positive effect.”
“In fact, by burning my hand like this, you’re only making Lingche sympathize with me more and dislike you more.. Cousin, what’s the point of this? Isn’t it better for us all to live our own lives peacefully?”
