Chen’er had always been a soft-hearted person.
If the Qin family had been really treating him nicely, he would never be treating Qin Fei’er like that…
It was true that he had suffered a lot of grievances and had never spoken about any of it, much less say a sentence to her.
It really pissed her off and broke her heart, seeing Qin Chen like that.
“Okay.”
The youth beamed.
The smile was as bright as the sun.
It was as if the sky had suddenly cleared up, and even the moonlight looked brighter than before.
Like a needle, his smile pierced deeply into Qin Fei’er heart.
She clenched on her fists tightly as she looked at Qin Chen, palely. Pain and feelings of aggrieve spread inside her heart, making her seem even more paler than usual, as pale as snow.
No doubt she was the closest person to Qin Chen in this world. However, why would he smile so brightly at a woman who was nothing?
Qin Fei’er gently closed her eyes and slowly reopened it after a while.
No matter what, Chen’er would still care for her as his sister.
Or else, he would not have returned willingly to be her drug primer, just to help her enter the Mu family and approach that seemingly divine man.
Feng Ruqing looked around and said, “This is the so-called Tian Shen Manor… Nothing special. Chen’er was abandoned by his parents? Ridiculous! That’s only the one-sided words of Qin family but it has already made the whole world believe without a shadow of a doubt.
Qin Xiaoyue stiffened a little as she sneered, “If it weren’t because of his poor family background, why would the Qin family adopt him when the Qin family is so powerful?”
“I bet only the Qin family know the answer. What I know is only that I will never allow anyone to bully Chen’er!”
Qin Chen seemed docile.
He had never cared about anyone’s words all these years.
To be protected by her, it felt so good…
It was as if a hint of current flowed in his heart, warming it up.
“Luo Fei!” Qin Xiaoyue’s face was almost contorted as she turned to look at Luo Fei. “Li’er has been bewitched by this woman. Now, they are ganging up to bully Fei’er, and don’t you know Fei’er’s character well enough? She will always be tolerant of everything and bear all the grievances alone whenever she feels wronged. I’m her aunt, how could I bear to see her suffer like that?”
Luo Fei frowned a little.
This little girl was aggressive and disagreeable enough.
Moreover, the Qin family had provided Qin Chen a home, but Qin Chen had treated Fei’er in such a way. It was indeed his fault too…
Perhaps, only that little girl was capable of pinning the blame on others and defending Qin Chen by saying he was innocent.
However, after all the interrogations, Luo Fei could not bring himself to speak as soon as he saw Luo Li’s cold face. He could only heave a soft sigh. “Li’er, haven’t you always been close to Fei’er? Perhaps there are some misunderstandings since Fei’er is naive in nature and would never bewitch others. Both of you should talk it out if there have been any misunderstandings.
At first, Luo Li thought she was already fully disappointed with Luo Fei. However, her heart turned completely cold as soon as she heard his words.
The corners of her lips lifted into a scornful smile as she said coldly, “Compare to bewitching people’s mind, our Manor Lady Xiao Qing can never do better than the Qin Xiaoyue who stays with you. She has already drugged you by making you not know right from wrong and good from evil!”
“Li’er!” Luo Fei slightly frowned. “I’m doing this for your own good. You’re my daughter, how can I not love you? I just don’t want to see you and Fei’er in such a fight. The whole Tian Shen Manor knows well that how close both of you were.”
That was right. They were really close before, and therefore, the spirit herbs were too good to be eaten as she had kept all of it and shared it with Fei’er.
