Chapter 2533: Miao Jing and Zhai Yaohui (34)

At that time, that vixen from the countryside had not been begging for mercy. Instead, she had been mocking her!
Qi Minlan really wanted to ask Zhai Yaohui what he saw in Miao Jing. In what way was Miao Jing better than her that Zhai Yaohui would give her up for Miao Jing’s sake?
Because of a third party like Miao Jing who came from the countryside, Zhai Yaohui was going to give up on their feelings which they had developed since they were young?
There were too many things that Qi Minlan wanted to ask and do.
But she was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to control her emotions once she started speaking and would explode.
Only failures weren’t able to control themselves.
Even if Zhai Yaohui didn’t want to be with her, she had to have self-control and not embarrass herself in this situation.
To do so, Qi Minlan nearly pierced through her palm with her fingernail.
Her eyes brimmed with tears. “Brother Zhai, you should know that I’ve never treated you like a biological brother. I’ve always… Brother Zhai, how could you not know how I felt all these years? Brother Zhai, we were fine in the past. Can you tell me why you suddenly think of me as a sister instead of your partner or fiancée?”
Zhai Yaohui felt a little guilty because of Qi Minlan’s question.
Why?
Zhai Yaohui realized that he had always been rather vague toward Qi Minlan. His actions made it unclear whether he regarded Qi Minlan as a sister or a partner.
It was only after Miao Jing’s appearance that Zhai Yaohui started feeling differently.
Especially when he returned home after a year and saw Miao Jing, Zhai Yaohui felt that he was no longer able to see Qi Minlan as a partner.
Zhai Yaohui was pretty clear about this in his heart.
He felt that it was this change in attitude that had led to the change in feelings for Qi Minlan.
In that way, Qi Minlan was innocent. He was the one at fault.
He wasn’t afraid of admitting to his mistake so that he could correct it.
“Minlan, I’m sorry that I didn’t clarify how I truly felt in the past. That’s why you’ve been hurt. But I really treat you as my biological younger sister. If you have any trouble in the future, you can always come to look for me.”
Zhai Yaohui knew that Qi Minlan had close male friends, but she was right. She had male friends, not boyfriends.
Qi Minlan hadn’t given up on her childhood sweetheart for another man. It was Zhai Yaohui who had brought up the matter of backing out.
As a responsible man, Zhai Yaohui indeed felt that he owed Qi Minlan in this case.
It wasn’t overboard to return whatever he owed. He would naturally make it up to Qi Minlan.
Qi Minlan’s face paled as her hands started trembling. “Brother Zhai, is it really impossible between us? Will it be possible if I try harder? Or if we give ourselves more time?”
Why? What rights did Zhai Yaohui have to kick her aside and say that he only regarded her as a sister now that he had made a name for himself?
How could Zhai Yaohui be so blind to choose a vixen from the countryside over her when she was so outstanding?
This was unfair! Too unfair!
Qi Minlan hated Zhai Yaohui for being so brutal, as well as Old Zhai and Grandma Zhai for being so heartless.
Even when faced with the years of relationships they had built up and Zhai Yaohui’s foolish decision, neither Old Zhai nor Grandma Zhai had tried to stop Zhai Yaohui. The elderly couple had even respected Zhai Yaohui’s foolish wishes!
Qi Minlan hated the Zhai family to her guts.
She wanted to see just how well the Zhai family would do in the future since they would rather have an ignorant countryside bumpkin as their daughter-in-law and give up such a good daughter-in-law like her!
There would come a day the Zhai family would regret choosing Miao Jing over her!
She would definitely wait for such a day to come. She would use facts to prove to the Zhai family that only women like her had the right to become the mistress of a family like the Zhai family.
“It’s impossible.” Zhai Yaohui had already thought it through. It was impossible between him and Qi Minlan. Of course, he couldn’t give Qi Minlan any room for imagination.
If he was softhearted at this point, then he would really be harming Qi Minlan because she would be unable to regain her senses for a long time. “Minlan, you’re a good girl. You’ll definitely find someone who’ll truly love you and cherish you.”
“But that person isn’t you, right?”
“…”
“Hehe…” Qi Minlan laughed self-deprecatingly. “I like you but you don’t like me. Is that person who’ll love and cherish me important? No, of course not. Brother Zhai, I really don’t understand why you would have a change of heart so quickly. Are men more heartless than women? You managed to pull yourself out, but I can’t. Brother Zhai, it’s best that we don’t meet. Otherwise, I’m afraid that I’ll get even more upset.”
With that, Qi Minlan cupped her crying face and ran out of the Zhai family’s house.
“…” Zhai Yaohui took a long, deep breath. No matter what, this matter with Qi Minlan was finally over. “Mom, now that Qi Minlan is gone, do you want me to send you to the hospital, or do you want me to call a doctor over? Forget it. I think I’d better call a doctor over.”
Grandma Zhai pushed Zhai Yaohui aside. “There’s no need to call a doctor or send me to the hospital. I feel much better now. Of course, if you’re able to get Miao Miao back, I won’t feel any discomfort at all. I’ll probably be even more energetic and alive!”
“Mom, were you faking it earlier?”
While Qi Minlan was around, his mom had been so unwell that she needed a doctor. But the moment Qi Minlan left, his mom’s expression looked much better. Was Qi Minlan poison?
“Of course it was real. Why would I fake an illness at my age? Be careful about what you say!” Grandma Zhai rolled her eyes at Zhai Yaohui. But it was good as long as her son didn’t have feelings for Minlan.
How had she not realized earlier that Minlan didn’t fit in with their family? It would only cause everyone pain if they had to live together.
