“Xiao Xin.” Madam Shen’s expression was serious. “Your sister is right. Our families are at odds. You and Qiao Chen are not to interact anymore. When the Shen family was in danger, your sister and I begged the Mo family, but they refused to help.
“If it wasn’t for your sister’s help, the Shen family would have gone bankrupt.
“The Mo family is so heartless and cruel. Our families will never interact in this lifetime. You’re the same. You’re not allowed to interact with anyone from the Mo family, got it?”
Shen Xin clenched her fists, and tears welled up in her eyes.
She wanted to tell them that Qiao Chen was innocent.
The feud between the two families had nothing to do with him.
He wasn’t the one who refused to help.
He had helped the Shen family before.
But when she met Madam Shen and Shen Rou’s angry eyes, she couldn’t say anything.
She knew that it was useless to say anything.
Shen Rou’s hatred for Mo Yesi and Qiao Mianmian had already seeped into her bones.
The hatred in her eyes was so strong.
And Madam Shen… she hated the Mo family so much.
No matter how much she spoke up for Qiao Chen, they wouldn’t listen.
“Xiao Xin, did you hear that?” Madam Shen repeated her words coldly. “You’re not allowed to interact with Qiao Chen anymore. Even if you really like him, you’d better give up now.”
Shen Xin’s nose was sore, and her eyes stung. She bit her lip, and her lips trembled. Under Madam Shen and Shen Rou’s sharp and cold gazes, she softly said, “Alright.”
Tears rolled down her cheeks.
“Alright, don’t cry.” Madam Shen couldn’t bear to see her younger daughter cry. She patted her back and said gently, “Xiao Xin, if it was in the past, Mom would definitely support you.
“But not now. Since he’s from the Mo family, you can’t be together.
“It’s better to cut it short. You’re still young. It’s easy to like someone at your age, and it’s also easy to forget them. Don’t think about anything now, just focus on your studies. Mom will definitely find you a better boy in the future.
“Remember, you cannot be with anyone from the Mo family.”
Shen Xin pursed her lips as her tears fell silently.
A boy more outstanding than Qiao Chen?
Perhaps.
But she only liked him.
No one would hold such an important place in her heart anymore.
Because there was only one Qiao Chen in this world.
“Xiao Xin, Mom and I are doing this for your own good. The Mo family is heartless, they’ll hurt you sooner or later. Even if you resent us now, you’ll know who treats you well in the future.
“If I find out that you’re together again, don’t blame me for being heartless.” Shen Rou turned around and went upstairs.
“Don’t blame your sister for being harsh. She doesn’t feel good, either.” After Shen Rou left, Madam Shen patted the back of Shen Xin’s hand and sighed. “You know how much she liked Mo Yesi, but he ended up with Qiao Mianmian.”
