The corners of Xu Anranâs mouth twitched.
âSince thatâs your plan, wonât I ruin it if I donât hit you?â Qiao Xi sneered as she clenched her fists and gradually approached her. âThose two slaps just now canât be considered bullying just
yet.â
Xu Anran took a few steps back in horror. If this was not considered bullying, then what
wasâ¦
Smack! Smack!
Two consecutive slaps landed heavily on Xu Anranâs face. Qiao Xi snorted coldly. âXu Anran, Iâve wanted to hit you for a long time. Youâve been targeting me since the first time we met. You also scattered flammable powder on the floor of the room you arranged for me. Did you want to burn me to death?â
Xu Anran gritted her teeth in pain. She was still getting slapped. Qiao Xi was not giving her a chance to resist at all.
Qiao Xi looked at her with a smile. âHow could that piece of trash, Xu Anyi, dare get his people to kill me? It was probably your idea, right? If Xu Anyi had succeeded, he wouldâve gotten rid of your biggest problem. If he failed, it wouldnât have anything to do with you. In any case, heâd be the one in jail, while youâd still be the pure and innocent eldest daughter of the Xu family.â
âSister, I⦠I didnât. You wronged meâ¦â
Smack!
âWhy are you pretending in front of me?! Just because you like Gu Zheng, you expect me to divorce him and give up my position to you. Why are you so shameless? Even the earth canât handle you anymore!â
Xu Anran held her burning cheeks and looked at Qiao Xi with horror.
At this moment, she actually regretted provoking this demon!
Qiao Xi slowly raised her hand and placed it on Xu Anranâsslapped neck, then she curled her lips into a cold smile. âMiss Xu, you should be glad that Iâm feeling much better after just slapping you a few times. Otherwiseâ¦â
Hearing Qiao Xiâs words, Xu Anranâs breathing paused. She felt the blood in her entire body freeze as she broke out in a cold sweat from fear.
It was obvious from Qiao Xiâs eyes that she was not joking. She really wanted to kill her. âAh! Let go of me! You devil! Ah!â Xu Anran suddenly felt a pain in her chest. Then, the pain spread throughout her body. It was as if she was being pricked by needles. It was so painful that her entire body spasmed. Her expression was ferocious as she could not help but roar.
Her body trembled violently. She did not believe that Qiao Xi would really dare to kill her. She was the eldest daughter of the Xu family and the beloved daughter of her parents. How would Qiao Xi dare?!
Xu Anranâs chest was so painful that she broke out in a cold sweat. She wished she could faint, but at this moment, she heard footsteps. It seemed like someone was coming.
She quickly pinched her arm to come back to her senses. She forced herself to stay conscious. Then, her eyes were filled with tears as she said in pain, âSister! It hurts! Iâm your sister. Why are you doing this to me?!
âSister, please let me off! I was wrong. I shouldnât have fought with you. Iâll leave the Xu family now. I donât want anything anymore. Please spare my life! Donât kill meâ¦â
The footsteps gradually approached. Someone asked, âDo you hear cries for help?â
âI do. It seems to be the eldest daughter of the Xu family.â
Xia Yunlou suddenly rushed over and roared, âQiao Xi, what are you doing?! Youâre trying to kill your sister! Anran, Anran!â
Xu Anranâs face was covered in tears as she said weakly, âMom, Iâm fine. Donât blame my sister. She misunderstood me, so she slapped me a few times. Itâs just that my chest hurts nowâ¦â
Xia Yunlou was furious and charged aggressively at Qiao Xi. âYou unfilial daughter! You dare hit your sister? Are you even human? Quickly apologize to your sister!â
Xu Anran sobbed. âMom, donât⦠force Sister. She said that Iâm your adopted daughter and Iâm not worthy to compete with her. Actually⦠sheâs right. Iâm not related to you by blood. Sheâs your biological daughter. Iâll leave now!â
âMy precious Anran, stop crying. I wonât let you leave. Youâll always be my daughter!â
Xia Yunlouâs eyes were filled with heartache, then she pointed at Qiao Xi and roared furiously, âQiao Xi! Youâre fooling around again. You actually hit your sister this time. Quickly kneel down and admit your mistake!â Xu Anran curled up in Xia Yunlouâs embrace with a sinister smile. She wanted Qiao Xi to pay a painful price for these few slaps.
Now, everyone had seen Qiao Xi hit her and her forgiving Qiao Xi. Everyone would know that Qiao Xi was vicious, while she was the magnanimous Eldest Miss Xu.
