Reincarnation: I Married My Ex's Brother

Chapter 253 - Have You Regretted Hurting Me?


Chapter 253: Have You Regretted Hurting Me?

Qiao Jiusheng wanted to speak up to defend her parents, but she realized that she had nothing to say.

She had an impression of what Qiao Jiuyin had said.

She vaguely remembered that year, a girl in her class had gone overseas to play in the Maldives. After they returned, the girl kept flaunting to the class about how beautiful and fun the sea was. Girls of that age all had competitive hearts. When Qiao Jiusheng heard this, she got envious and looked forward to visiting a similar place.

When she got home, she pestered Qiao Jingren and asked him to bring her to the beach. Qiao Jingren had always doted on her, so he agreed. When he bought the plane tickets in advance, he had also bought them for Qiao Jiuyin.

As he had promised Qiao Jiusheng in advance, when Qiao Jiuyin confirmed the day of the finals and came to invite Qiao Jingren, Qiao Jingren was in a difficult position. In the end, he chose to keep his promise to Qiao Jiusheng and rejected Qiao Jiuyin.

He had kept his promise to Qiao Jiusheng, but he had disappointed Qiao Jiuyin.

However, humans were not sages; how could they not make mistakes?

Seeing Qiao Jiusheng fall silent, Qiao Jiuyin stopped laughing. Her eyes, which were looking at Qiao Jiusheng, were filled with blame and confusion. “Ever since you were young, you’ve always been the happy fruit of the family and the apple of your eye. Whether it was our parents or grandfather, they all treated you like a treasure. As for Big Brother and I, we were very sensible, but they never paid attention to us.”

Qiao Jiuyin thought of something and continued, “At first, Big Brother was on my side, but ever since you went to Meng Hai and came back, for some reason, even Big Brother started to lean toward you.

“Big Brother had to let you have what you liked. Big Brother got you what you liked the first time. On our 14th birthday, because you were in a bad mood, Big Brother asked me to cancel my birthday banquet. Do you know how long I prepared for that birthday banquet and how many friends I had invited! In the end, because you were in a bad mood, just because of Big Brother’s words, I had to personally call every friend to apologize.

“You embarrassed me in front of all my friends.”

Which girl at that age did not admire vanity?

Qiao Jiuyin had humbly apologized to every friend. At that time, she was very dissatisfied with Qiao Jiusheng. After she had called everyone, she had cried hard.

She could not understand why everyone was on Qiao Jiusheng’s side when they were both their parents’ children and their brother’s sisters.

They looked exactly the same!

Qiao Jiusheng did not know about this. From the age of 13 to 15, her memories were very vague. Qiao Jiusheng had no recollection of what Qiao Jiuyin had said.

She stared at Qiao Jiuyin in a daze. She felt a little guilty, but soon, that guilt disappeared.

Father, mother, brother, you guys have harmed me quite a lot.

There were too many unfair things. Qiao Jiuyin sighed and said, “Still, I can ignore all of this, but there’s only one thing I can’t. That is Fang Mu.”

Qiao Jiusheng glanced at her and wisely remained silent. Qiao Jiuyin’s current condition was a little strange, and Qiao Jiusheng was afraid that she would say anything wrong.

If she angered Qiao Jiuyin, it would be foolish.

In her previous life, whenever Qiao Jiuyin was in a bad mood, she’d beat and scold her. She even dared to dig out her tongue. In this life, she would not be kind either.

Qiao Jiuyin was very satisfied with Qiao Jiusheng’s silence and obedience.

Perhaps, because she had thought of something warm and happy, Qiao Jiuyin’s reluctance disappeared. A faint smile appeared on her face. “You might not remember, but the first time I saw Fang Mu, you brought him along and drove me out for dinner.”

Qiao Jiusheng thought about it and realized that she really could not remember it.

Qiao Jiuyin continued, “Actually, in the beginning, I didn’t have any thoughts about Fang Mu. I was just a little curious after hearing you talk about his various good things. We went to eat together. When we ordered the dishes, we ordered a River Sand cake at the same time. However, the waiter told us that there was only one serving of cake.”

Qiao Jiuyin suddenly paused, clearly waiting for Qiao Jiusheng to ask questions.

Qiao Jiusheng followed suit and softly asked, “And then?”

Upon hearing her question, Qiao Jiuyin indeed got happier. “Fang Mu said at that time that he wanted to give the cake to Sister because Sister ordered it first. Because I ordered it first, it should belong to me. He wouldn’t let me give it to you unconditionally just because you’re younger than me.”

Seeing Qiao Jiusheng’s disapproving expression, Qiao Jiuyin laughed self-deprecatingly and said, “Xiao Sheng, you will never understand what Fang Mu’s words mean to me.”

Qiao Jiusheng actually understood.

Alone, she had been treated coldly and unfairly by her elders and elder brothers for a long time. When she suddenly met Fang Mu, who did things according to the rules, Qiao Jiuyin inevitably felt tempted.

Qiao Jiusheng could not help but think: I’ve suffered for two lifetimes. In the end, the cause was actually a piece of cake?

Motherf*cker!

“You spent six birthdays with Fang Mu. Other than the first year when you thought it was fun and made him a cake, which of the following five years wasn’t the cake made by me?” Qiao Jiuyin was angry at the thought of this. “Which of the gifts you gave him wasn’t chosen by me?”

Qiao Jiusheng felt a little guilty. In this case, she was indeed a jerk.

“But every time I brought the cake to Fang Mu, I would tell him that I asked you to make it. When I gave him the gift, I also clearly told him that I chose it with you.” Qiao Jiusheng raised her eyebrows, feeling indignant. “I didn’t take all the benefits for myself.”

“Yes.” Qiao Jiuyin was furious. “You told him honestly, but Fang Mu still couldn’t see that I was good. He only had eyes for you. Even if you offered yourself to him to please him, he would only think that you were cute. But what about me? When he saw me, the most he would say was, ‘The cake is delicious. Thank you.’”

Qiao Jiusheng was puzzled. “Is this my fault too?”

She felt unreasonable.

“Every year, when it was his birthday, I would prepare the ingredients a month in advance and use all my effort to make a delicious cake just to let him take a look, eat a few more mouthfuls, and talk to me more.” Qiao Jiuyin recalled how she had secretly liked Fang Mu all those years and could not help but feel unworthy and aggrieved. “I love him more than you do, yet he only has eyes for you.

“His devotion to you both upsets me and makes me like him.”

She also wanted to find someone who loved her wholeheartedly, but that person did not like her. His heart was only filled with Qiao Jiusheng.

Qiao Jiusheng!

Qiao Jiusheng!

It’s Qiao Jiusheng every time!

Qiao Jiuyin did not understand how she was worse than Qiao Jiusheng!

Upon hearing Qiao Jiuyin’s words, Qiao Jiusheng was stunned.

Then, did Qiao Jiuyin want to snatch Fang Mu away from me out of jealousy and hatred, or did she want to be with him because she really loves Fang Mu?

Qiao Jiusheng could not understand. She guessed that Qiao Jiuyin herself could not tell.

Perhaps, Qiao Jiusheng had already become a thorn in Qiao Jiuyin’s heart and was constantly stabbing her heart.

It was too painful. Qiao Jiuyin was willing to do anything to remove this thorn.

“I really liked him, especially when the three of us were together, but he only had eyes for you forever. Yet that made me like him even more.” Qiao Jiuyin felt bitter when she thought about those years when she had been standing by the side like an invisible person, holding her painful heart and admiring Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Mu’s love.

“I tried my best to learn your speech and demeanor so that I could get used to the clothes you liked. I often imitated you in private, hoping that Fang Mu would look at me more one day. However, he only had eyes for you and not me.

“I thought I could keep it up like I always do. When you guys get married, maybe my heart would die.

“But after graduation, when I found out that the two of you would be getting married soon, I realized that I could not watch the two of you be happy and loving.” When Qiao Jiuyin had learned that Fang Mu was about to propose to Qiao Jiusheng, she had panicked; she had been unwilling. She was not as magnanimous as she had thought. Why could Qiao Jiusheng get the person she could not get?

Jealousy, unwillingness, and deep admiration for Fang Mu destroyed the last bit of kindness in Qiao Jiuyin’s heart.

She could not help but have a thought: If Xiao Sheng completely left Fang Mu’s side, would Fang Mu notice her, who looks exactly like Xiao Sheng?

This thought did not fade with time. Instead, it became stronger.

In the end, Qiao Jiuyin turned into a demon and extended her demonic claws toward her biological sister.

Qiao Jiusheng speechlessly stared at the crazy Qiao Jiuyin. She understood that this person was completely evil.

She was so evil that even if she went to jail, she would not be able to get her back.

However, Qiao Jiusheng did not plan to correct her.

She wanted to kill her, but she did not have the chance.

“I have another question for you,” Qiao Jiusheng said.

Qiao Jiuyin stared at her. She was as beautiful as a pink rose, but her gaze was like a poppy. She was beautiful, but it made her scalp tingle. “Ask.” Although she despised Qiao Jiusheng for being talkative, she thought that this person would soon be picked up by Fang Mu’s men. She might never see her again in this lifetime, so she became magnanimous.

Qiao Jiusheng asked, “Have you ever regretted hurting me?”

Qiao Jiuyin’s expression froze.

She looked confused for a moment.

After all, that was her younger sister. When she saw her being flung out of the car and falling into the river, Qiao Jiuyin had regretted and felt afraid. However, after being threatened by Qiao Jiusheng in the dark thrice, her frustration turned into hatred.

Qiao Jiusheng saw the changes in Qiao Jiuyin’s gaze. There was confusion, sadness, and hatred. However, it looked like she did not have any regrets, so she gave up.

“I have—”

Before Qiao Jiusheng could say anything else, Qiao Jiuyin glared at her. “Why are you talking so much nonsense?”

Qiao Jiusheng quickly raised her right hand and said anxiously, “Just one last question.”

“Ask!” Qiao Jiuyin sounded extremely impatient.

Qiao Jiusheng shifted her position and found a position that made her feel comfortable. Then, she asked, “They say that even a vicious tiger would not hurt its children and abandon them. Have you had any nightmares in the past few months?”

Qiao Jiuyin’s expression drastically changed.

“How do you know?”

She sounded nervous and frightened.

Qiao Jiuyin did not think that Fang Mu had told Qiao Jiusheng. She thought that it was already an accident that Fang Mu knew about it without anyone knowing, but how did Qiao Jiusheng know?

Her expression changed a few times. Qiao Jiuyin thought of something and suddenly asked Qiao Jiusheng, “At the hospital that time, did you deliberately mention the stolen… child toarouse Fang Mu’s suspicion?”

A secretive smile hung on Qiao Jiusheng’s lips.

Qiao Jiuyin instantly understood everything.

This foolish girl actually knows how to scheme!

Qiao Jiuyin frowned. She seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked, “Why are you asking me this?” In Qiao Jiuyin’s knowledge, Qiao Jiusheng had always been an innocent girl without any shrewdness. She might be a little unreasonable and smart, and she had a good IQ, but she was definitely not considered a “high IQ person.”

Previously, at the hospital, Qiao Jiusheng had deliberately said those words to attract Fang Mu’s attention. This was an act that exceeded her IQ.

The current Qiao Jiusheng was no longer the Qiao Jiusheng that Qiao Jiuyin was familiar with.

In that case, what she had done just now should have another goal. Qiao Jiuyin’s gaze froze as she suspiciously asked Qiao Jiusheng, “What tricks are you playing again?”

Qiao Jiusheng’s ears twitched as she heard the sound of a car coming from outside the house. The smile on her lips became sly and bright. “Congratulations! You finally realized that you were being played.”

“What?”

Qiao Jiuyin was stunned.

What does she mean?

Qiao Jiusheng tilted her head. She turned off the recording with her right hand and smiled like a bright star. Qiao Jiuyin watched her touch the ring and was puzzled. What is she doing?

“Sister.” Qiao Jiusheng smiled at Qiao Jiuyin and suddenly said, “Twenty-six years…”

“What twenty-six years?”

Qiao Jiuyin felt uneasy.

Qiao Jiusheng shook her head and did not explain. She only said, “Sister, come closer. I have a secret that I haven’t told you.”
