she suddenly saw a familiar figure.>"Crane Ming!" Qian Tingxuan was quite surprised to see Crane Ming.>"Senior Brother!"Xiao Yu Ge, upon first seeing He Ming, blurted out a sentence. Realizing she had...Seeing her scheme exposed, Xiao Yufu, who had pretended to be innocent before, no longer bothered. A sinister smile curved her pale lips: "Yes, I hired someone to imitate her handwriting. So what Why should she have taken my life for the past decade, stolen my parents, and even snatched away the man I loved most! I want her to be ruined and disgraced! I wish she would die!"

"Slap!" Chu Tianqi, angered and unable to bear it any longer, raised his hand and slapped her. After the slap, he was stunned. From childhood to adulthood, he had almost always treated her like a precious jewel, never touching her even with a finger, not even uttering harsh words. But now, he had actually hit her.

"See She not only took my parents, my beloved man, but even my dear brother, now she has taken him too!" Xiao Yu Fu cried, tears streaming down her face.

Chu Tianqi clenched his fist, his heart also aching: "She is our sister after all. No matter what you do, you shouldn't treat her like this. Last time at the hunting ground, you almost caused her to die on the cliff. She has lost everything now and is no longer a member of the Xiao family. Do you really want to drive her to ruin"

“Right! Looking at her, it seems like she has lost everything, and I have gained everything. But in reality, it is I who has lost everything. Father and mother miss her day and night. Brother Xin told me with his own mouth that he has fallen for her; and you, brother, ask yourself, are you so angry to question me because you treat Ge’er as a younger sister, or because you have also fallen for her Even Brother Ningfeng is going to great lengths to marry her. Why I am the legitimate daughter of the Xiao family. All these honors should rightfully belong to me. It was she who took everything away from me. She has already hooked up with the Prince, yet why must she come and snatch my Brother Xin Therefore, she deserves to die! She deserves to die!”

Seeing her like this, so close to madness, Chu Tianqi instantly felt like a stranger to her, as if he had never met her before.

"You disobedient girl!"

Just then, Madam Xiao rushed in and, in a fit of anger, slapped Xiao Yufu across the face!

"Mother!"

Chu Tianqi quickly stepped forward to help Mrs. Xiao up.

"Mother..." Xiao Yufu hadn't expected that Mother would hear all this. She was frightened, covering her burning cheeks and looking at Lady Xiao in alarm.

“Don’t call me mother! I don’t have a daughter as cruel as you! Ge’er is your sister, how can you hurt her like this” Madam Xiao trembled with anger. She never dreamed that her gentle and kind-hearted daughter in public would be so cruel in private. At this moment, she was extremely disappointed and heartbroken.

"Mother, I'm sorry, it was my fault, it was my fault..." Xiao Yu Fu this time was truly frightened. Once her mother told everything to her father, with father's temper, he would definitely drive her out. She had finally made it to today, she didn't want to lose everything, so immediately admit her mistake!

"What have I done to deserve such a daughter I must tell the old master that we don't have a heartless child like you..." Madam Xiao covered her heart, utterly disappointed, and turned away.

"Mother! I know I was wrong! I know I was wrong! I'll never hurt Ge’er again... Please don't tell Father, please..." Xiao Yufu ignored the stones on the ground and knelt before Mrs. Xiao, pounding her head fiercely.

Madam Xiao looked at her, her heart aching like being twisted. Both daughters were raised by her, why was there such a huge difference But in the end, she couldn't bear to bear it: "I can keep this from your husband, but you have to swear, from now on you can't hurt Ge'er anymore!"

"I swear, from now on, I will never harm Ge'er again. If I violate this oath, I shall surely meet a terrible end!" Xiao Yu Fu was also a ruthless person. Knowing that she couldn't do it, she still made a poisonous vow.

Even though she was her own biological daughter, Madam Xiao still couldn't bear to punish her harshly. However, she couldn't forgive her immediately either. So, she said, "Since you know you were wrong, then you should kneel in the courtyard and reflect on your actions." After saying that, she let Chu Tianqi support her back into the room.

Looking at their departing figures, Xiao Yufu knelt to the ground and wept silently. Slowly, in her eyes brimming with tears, a chilling ruthlessness emerged: Xiao Yuge! I won't let you get away with this. If I don't die well, neither will you!

At that moment, the sky suddenly poured with heavy rain, as if trying to wash away all the filth on her body. But she felt, it was as if even heaven thought she was being treated unfairly!

"My lady!"

An Ling hurriedly took out an oil umbrella to shield her, but she swatted it away with one hand. She was about to kneel there, and every bit of humiliation she suffered now, she would one day repay tenfold to Xiao Yu Ge!

Chunxiang Lou.

"Miss, you're finally back!"

Just as Xu Loulan returned from outside, her maid, Xiaohuan, came to greet her.

"Xiaohuan, what happened" Seeing Xiaohuan's appearance, Loulan knew something must be wrong.

"When Young Master Chu arrived, and you weren't here, he just stayed in that room drinking..."

"Big Brother Chu is here!" Upon hearing that Chu Tianqi had arrived, Xu Loulan's face lit up with joy. She disregarded the dust and grime from her journey and rushed upstairs, taking three steps in two.

"Brother Chu!" When she rushed into the room, she saw Chu Tianqi sitting there alone, drinking sullenly.

"Alan, you're back." Chu Tianqi looked up to see her, put down his wine glass, and beckoned her to sit down. He poured another cup for her: "Have a drink with me."

"Brother Chu, what happened" Xu Loulan was perceptive. Her usually calm Brother Chu wouldn't suddenly become like this unless something had happened.

"Nothing much, just want to have a few drinks..." Chu Tianqi raised his glass to her and then drank it all in one gulp. He was bitter inside, with no one to confide in. From childhood to adulthood, he favored Fu'er, but she turned out to be so ruthless. He clearly loved Ge'er, but he didn't dare let her know. Watching her being protected by another man, he felt jealous, his heart ached, but he was helpless. One was the prince, the other a king, he didn't even have the qualifications to compete with them.

“Okay, I’ll drink with you!” Xu Loulan thought he was sad because of Xiao Yufu. Her heart ached with bitterness, and she decided to drink with him too. Maybe if they were drunk, her heart wouldn’t hurt so much.

"I truly love her, but I'm too afraid to tell her. " Being unable to express his love brings a bitter taste to Chu Tianqi's heart. His love for Ge'er and his guilt towards her feel like a mountain, suffocating him.

My beloved, he doesn't love me either..." Xu Loulan's heart was also filled with bitterness. Yujian Mountain Villa was gone, her parents were gone, and the person she had secretly loved all along didn't love her. How could her heart feel any better

> “May all love, hate, joy and sorrow in this world be dissolved into wine, with one drink to dispel the sorrows...” He needed a reason to get himself drunk. Drunkenness, perhaps, would make his heart not ache so much.out." Xiao Yuge shoved the box of plum-flavored snacks into Qing Luo's hands. "Qing Luo, if you like it, finish it all. Don't leave any.""Mmm." Qing Luo nodded, smiling happily. After such a fright,...
