CHAPTER 40: CHAPTER 40: I WANT SOMETHING LIKE SISTER’S

Under the sycamore tree.

Qin Xin watched coldly over her funeral.

Her cowardly mother could only cry, and the servants were fair-weather friends; she had mentally prepared herself for this long ago.

But she never expected that Qin Xiaoshuang, who always seemed indifferent and rebellious, would be the only one to defend her vehemently after her death, refusing to believe the news and shedding hot tears upon seeing her blood-stained school uniform.

As for Qin Wenrou...

Qin Xin’s gaze grew even colder.

Seeing Qin Wenrou’s pretentious behavior in person was more disgusting than she had imagined!

As they say, the bystander sees more clearly.

Leaving the Qin Family, she saw more clearly!

For a fleeting moment, she wanted to go over and choke Qin Wenrou, carve open her heart with a scalpel, and see whether it was red or black!

But seeing the devastated Mrs. Qin and remembering where the blood taken from her by Ice Lake had gone, and considering she still bore this face with an emerald birthmark... she closed her eyes, slowly retracting the blade into her palm.

No problem.

There’s still time, we’ll take it slow.

She silently opened the back door, vanishing step by step into the night.

Behind her.

A gentle breeze wafted Qin Wenrou’s coy voice: "Mom, I want sister’s bed... because I miss her... I don’t mind that she used it, I just like that red pear wood bed of hers..."

Qin Xin’s expression was indifferent.

Sorry, you don’t mind, but sister does!

"That’s elder sister’s bed, you’re not allowed to touch it." Qin Xiaoshuang raised tear-filled eyes, casting a wary glance at Qin Wenrou.

Qin Wenrou: "Mom, just agree with me..."

Mrs. Qin, soft-hearted and helpless, said: "Let’s talk after the funeral."

Qin Wenrou: "Mhm mhm, mom, I’ll head back to school first. Finals are soon, I need to study well. I should be able to maintain being the top girl and then give you the first-place scholarship certificate!"

Mrs. Qin soothed: "You go ahead."

The talented and capable elder daughter is gone, luckily there’s the considerate, obedient second daughter remaining.

Yet Qin Xiaoshuang sneered: "Big sister’s certificates couldn’t even fit into dozens of boxes, who would care for your lousy certificate. Besides, can you manage to be the top of the whole school? Being the top girl is laughable."

Qin Wenrou: "Mom, look, little brother is becoming more and more outrageous."

Qin Xiaoshuang: "I’m outrageous? What about you, you’re not even a person!"

Qin Wenrou: "You...!"

She pressed her hand to her chest, aggrievedly: "I can’t stay longer, I’ll have a heart attack. Mom, I’m heading back to school."

She carefully avoided the scattered coffin boards and blood-stained school uniform as she walked.

Then hurriedly answered her phone: "Little Chun, where did we leave off?"

From the phone, Yu Xiaochun’s excited voice protested: "Wen Rou, come back quickly, I heard that toad ugly girl is trying to seduce senior again! She even dined with senior in the cafeteria! Just because she has the surname Lan, does she think she can get close to senior?..."

Qin Wenrou’s eyelid twitched: "You’re saying Lan Qingxin ate with senior?"

Yu Xiaochun animatedly: "Yeah, yeah, you didn’t see it, but she looked so smug!"

Qin Wenrou pressed her lips together, speaking generously: "Brother Jun said he gave my notes to a failing student for reference, turns out it’s her. I trust Brother Jun just purely wants to help her."

Yu Xiaochun sighed: "Wen Rou, you’re too generous, you’re so easily schemed against, don’t you know! Such a scheming ugly girl would never pass up a guy as outstanding as senior?..."
