[And what's even more terrifying is that she cheated on her own sister, and when she was caught, she blamed her sister. I'm not a fan of Yan Xuelan, but now I really feel sorry for her.]
[As a fan of Yan Xuelan, I really want to say that she truly dotes on her younger sister. She always thinks of bringing her gifts wherever she goes. She often buys her sister an extra of everything, and the reward she receives is an affair with her boyfriend.]
[It's obvious that Yan Yulan is spoiled by her family; anyone with a normal IQ wouldn't say something like that.]
Yan Xuelan was stunned for a moment. Even though she was mentally prepared, she never expected that her younger sister would feel no guilt towards her, and even blame her for being too busy.
She stared straight at Yan Yulan and sneered, "So you think it's my fault that you cheated on me and betrayed me?"
Seeing her usually gentle older sister looking at her like that, Yan Yulan began to feel afraid. She had never seen her sister with such an expression before. Had she really offended her sister badly this time?
Just as she hesitated, Chu Xiao spoke up, " Xiaoyu, don't talk nonsense. How could we blame your sister just because she's busy with work? Talk to her nicely..."
However, upon hearing Chu Xiao reprimand her for siding with Yan Xuelan, Yan Yulan's anger surged again, and she immediately shouted again without regard for anything else.
"Sister, don't misunderstand me. I just hope you can be more understanding of others. Everyone has a heart, and all relationships are built through interaction. But then again, you're a pampered girl like you, spoiled since childhood. How could you possibly understand the feelings of ordinary people like us? Every time I'm with you, you want to control everything, which really suffocates me."
Yan Xuelan felt like she was about to laugh out loud. She had worked so hard since childhood, even supporting her entire family, and yet Yan Yulan interpreted it as her not understanding ordinary people? And that became the reason Yan Yulan attacked her?
Ye Jin then slowly revealed the truth.
[Hey, come on, you're just jealous of how great your sister is, that's why you're always trying to steal her things. When she was little, she was a toy, now she's her boyfriend. It's like getting Chu Xiao will prove you're more charming than her. What a joke! That kind of scumbag is indiscriminate in his affections, okay?]
With things having progressed to this point, Yan Xuelan's last bit of sisterly affection for Yan Yulan was almost exhausted, so she naturally wouldn't reflect on herself as before, and was quickly persuaded by Ye Jin's heartfelt words.
So, did her younger sister dislike her from the beginning, and not because of Chu Xiao?
For a moment, Yan Xuelan's feelings were very complicated. After a long while, she spoke again, " Xiaoyu, yes, sometimes I neglected you because of work, but without hard work, where would I be today? No one is born excellent. Everything I have now is the result of my hard work."
"Our family used to be considered middle class, Xiaoyu. If it weren't for me, do you really think you could be living like this now, where you don't have to worry about work and your family supports you even if you just stay at home?"
Yan Yulan wasn't truly a fool after all. After being questioned by Yan Xuelan, the boundless anger that had been rising in her blood gradually subsided.
How could she say such things to her sister... those unspoken, dark secrets of her heart?
And is it still being broadcast live now?
Chu Xiao was on the verge of fainting. In the past, he had only found Yan Yulan's willfulness cute, but now it had become repulsive.
Even though they weren't public figures, in this era where public opinion can be a powerful force, it was enough to destroy both of their companies.
It's impossible to completely eliminate the impact now; he can only try his best to protect himself.
" Xuelan, you know that Xiaoyu has been spoiled since she was little and has always spoken without restraint. She has always loved you very much, so some of her actions are inevitably a bit excessive. Since she is your sister, I naturally want to take extra care of her, so I couldn't bear to refuse her requests. But I didn't expect that it would cause her to misunderstand."
Upon hearing this, Yan Yulan, who had been lost in her own thoughts, suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at Chu Xiao in disbelief.
" Brother Chu, what are you saying? How could you possibly take care of me just because of my sister? You just said you loved me and were only grateful to my sister..."
Seeing that Yan Yulan was about to let something slip, Chu Xiao quickly interrupted her.
"I only said those things to comfort you because I saw you were sad."
Chu Xiao thought he was very clever, but his thoughts had long been seen through by those around him.
Chapter 29
Even netizens watching from behind their screens could see through Chu Xiao's thoughts.
[What a lousy man, he's just blaming everything on women.]
[It's obvious. Yan Yulan is just stupid, Chu Xiao is ruthless. There's reason to believe he actively seduced Yan Yulan. Yan Yulan is young and naive, so she fell for Chu Xiao's tricks.]
[See? Never believe a man's lies. In a crisis, not only will he not protect you, he'll betray you.]
[If these two were protecting each other now, I could still believe they were truly in love. But now, it's like adulterers and dogs fighting over scraps.]
Yan Xuelan was also somewhat surprised. Wasn't the novel supposed to portray these two as true love? Chu Xiao was even willing to die for Yan Yulan, so how did they end up blaming each other?
However, she quickly calmed down. After all, it's just a novel, and these two are the male and female protagonists, so they will naturally be romanticized. Besides, they didn't encounter this situation in the novel.
But if this is Chu Xiao's true nature, it's truly laughable that such an irresponsible man has caused such a rift between the sisters.
Her eyes were icy. " Chu Xiao, so you mean you only took care of my sister because of me? Should I be grateful to you?"
