At this moment, Ping Ping brought a chair over and Jun Xiqing sat down. The room was bathed in warm light and Jun Xiqing’s small face glowed beautifully.
Looking at the queenly Jun Xiqing, Jun Xiyan’s eyes filled with jealousy and hate. She balled her hands into fists and said, “Qingqing, do you have any proof? How do you know that I’m the mystery woman?”
Bright eyes landed on Jun Xiqing’s face and her red lips curved into a faint smile. “Elder Sis, there’s this saying that human relationships are like water, and you should know whether ours was warm or cold. Our relationship has been cold these three years and I know this clearer than anyone else. You don’t want me to be with Lu Yeming because you don’t want me to get stronger, you’ve been resisting my development with everything you had.
“Three years ago, you gave Elder Sister Mo’er a call and staged the car accident, which conveniently solved three problems at once. You severed the relationship between Lu Yeming and me, got Lu Yeming to marry Dongfang Ruoli, and destroyed your rival in love. But Gu Mohan remained deeply in love with Mo’er, and that is something that will never change.
“Three years later, Lu Yeming and I showed signs of getting back together, which you were unable to bear, so you gave me a call again. Elder Sis, I’ve already told you this before, and you should know me best. There’s no one better than me at playing hide-and-seek. Your greatest mistake was trying to take me on.”
By now, Jun Xiyan’s eyes were burning with anger. She dug her nails into her palm and said, “That’s right, you’re calm and intelligent, your plans are second to no one else’s. The whole world is saying that you’re the best. Jun Xiqing, do you have any idea how much I hate you? I wish you would just disappear from this world!”
“Jun Xiyan!” Ping Ping couldn’t control her anger and scolded her.
She was Her Highness’s biological sister. How could an Elder Sister say such venomous words to her own sister?
Jun Xiqing waved her hand to silence President Jun and looked at Jun Xiyan silently before parting her red lips and smiling numbly. “Elder Sis, I understand now. I took away your Presidential position.”
In return, Jun Xiyan had a strange smile on her face. “You think that things are so simple?”
“That’s why I’m giving you a chance to explain yourself.”
Jun Xiqing’s bright eyes were calm, even as she felt like someone had stabbed her in the heart and she was in unbearable pain. “I understand everything except for one thing. What is your relationship with the Holy Lady Clan? Why are you participating in the political fight in Country A? Why are you sacrificing your life for the Holy Lady Clan?”
There was just one link missing from this case.
Why was it Jun Xiyan?
Jun Xiyan looked at Jun Xiqing as her smile twisted further and her eyes were crazed. “You want to know? Well, it’s a pity you’ll never find out then.”
“Oh, so you’re going to be like that?”
Jun Xiqing remained expressionless, the only change being the coldness in her eyes. Her cold expression was unparalleled. “Elder Sis, have you ever experienced the 18 kinds of martial arts torture in the dungeon? I’ve heard that no one has ever survived that and they usually give up after one or two.”
Jun Xiyan’s pupils shrunk as she quickly retorted, “You’re going to torture your own sister?”
Ping Ping was seething with rage at the side. So now she was finally remembering that she was Her Highness’s Sister. Where was all that when she wanted Her Highness to vanish just now?
At this moment Jun Xiyan smiled again and said in a loud voice, “Elder Brother, Second Sister, are you seeing this? We’ve raised an ungrateful brat!”
At this moment, the doors opened and two people entered.
Jun Chulin and Jun Xiling.
Jun Xiqing stood up and said, “Elder Brother, Second Sister.”
Jun Xiling walked forward, raised her hand, and slapped Jun Xiqing savagely. With a loud smack, she slapped Jun Xiqing across her whole face.
Jun Xiqing paled. Her skin was delicate and a red handprint immediately appeared on her face.
“Jun Xiqing, you still insist on explaining yourself? We heard everything outside. You wanted to torture your own Elder Sister!”
“Qingqing,” Jun Xiling said as she looked at her darkly. “I see that being the President has changed you. You can bear to even harm your relatives now!”
The right side of her face stung as her siblings’ words reverberated in her mind. Big Brother, Elder Sister, Second Sister…
Jun Xiqing’s mind was buzzing as her hands shook from the cold. “Big Brother, Second Sister, Elder Sister has been collaborating with other clans. This is a matter of national security.”
And she had only meant to scare her Elder Sister just now. She had no real intention of throwing her in jail.
But there was no point explaining all of this.
“Elder Brother, Second Sister, Jun Xiqing can’t remain here. After all, she was never a daughter of the Jun Family. The only reason we brought her up was to use her as a tool. Now that the Jun Family is so powerful, we no longer have any need for her. We can make her vanish.”
What?
Jun Xiqing’s pupils shrank as she stared at Jun Xiyan in shock.
She wasn’t the daughter of the Jun Family?
In the past three years, she had occupied an important position and knew that her Elder Brother and Second Sister had gradually drifted from her.
Power and desire were terrifying. They could change many things.
All this time, she had just been thinking that her Elder Brother and Second Sister would take her side if she explained everything.
Now she realized that she had made a horrible mistake.
It turned out that Elder Brother and Second Sister were also on Elder Sister’s side.
They knew everything.
The three of them had joined hands to plot against her!
“Elder Sister, what did you say? Repeat that once more.” Jun Xiqing glared at Jun Xiyan.
Jun Xiqing walked forward. “Qingqing, you heard me, didn’t you? You’re not the daughter of the Jun Family. You’re an orphan! Our Family adopted you to use you as a tool, but you no longer have any value. It’s about time you returned the Presidential position to the Jun Family.”
Jun Xiqing’s face was as pale as a sheet of paper. Her horrified gaze swept across Jun Xiyan, Jun Chulin, and Jun Xiling. They used to be the people she loved the most in the world, her entire world. But they had changed into people she no longer recognized.
In that instant, her world collapsed.
“I don’t believe you. Mom and Dad…”
“They knew all along. They were the ones who brought you back.”
Jun Xiqing’s lashes quivered as tears filled her bright eyes. But she steeled herself and refused to let her tears fall. Like a wounded beast, she shouted, “You’re lying! You’re all lying! Mom and Dad loved me. They loved me so much! And… That’s right, there was Uncle too!” Jun Xiqing reached for her last saving grace. “Uncle loved me the most. He…”
“Are you an idiot? Uncle knew as well!”
Bitter tears fell from her eyes as her last hope blanked out.
