Chapter 28 – Do You Want to Become the Stepmother? (是要做后妈？)

“Lu Jia, keep your voice down...” A girl beside Lu Jia reminded.

Even though they too weren’t fond of Jing Yunzhao, they have never crossed each other. Additionally, when Qiao Hongye’s father came yesterday and made a fuss, everyone felt uncomfortable. They had never seen such a shameless, thick-skinned person.

“Don’t stop me!” Lu Jia couldn’t care less and continued, “I didn’t do anything wrong so why should I keep my voice down?! Why aren’t you guys using your brain to think about it for a second? She might not be Qiao Hongye’s biological sister, but she was still raised under the Qiao family’s roof for so many years! She even became the school’s top student! What rights does she have to not acknowledge them as her parents?! In any case, there’s a reason Uncle Qiao was so angry yesterday! If she didn’t mess around with those hooligans, things wouldn’t have turned out this way!”

“What nonsense are you spouting?! Those hooligans have already been caught, and they have nothing to do with Biao-jie!” Su Chu heard Lu Jia’s remarks and was filled with anger.

She didn’t understand why there were people who loved starting rumours and cause trouble!

The light in Jing Yunzhao’s eyes dimmed. She pulled Su Chu behind her and walked straight towards Lu Jia.

“Do you live in the same house as me? Do you know how I used to live? Or can you read people’s hearts and know what I’m thinking?! If not, then what right do you have to speak up for Qiao Weimin? Oh~ Qiao Weimin’s still mourning for his wife right now. Since you’re so nice to Qiao Hongye, are you planning on becoming her stepmother?” Jing Yunzhao retorted without holding back.

Even in her past life, Lu Jia was Qiao Hongye’s best friend.

If Lu Jia was jealous because Jing Yunzhao had ‘stolen’ the number one position from Qiao Hongye, then Jing Yunzhao would have nothing to say. But she had never gone against Lu Jia before and neither had she ever caused her harm.

This wasn’t the first time Lu Jia had used the excuse of standing up for her friend to ruin Jing Yunzhao’s name. In her past life, Jing Yunzhao just pretended as if she didn’t exist and ignored her. But now, there’s no way she would do that!

They were both still 15-year-old girls. When Lu Jia heard Jing Yunzhao’s words, her face instantly became bright red.

“Of course I’m not! You’re only a bastard, what right do you have to talk about me like that?!” Lu Jia’s voice was shaking, afraid that others would believe Jing Yunzhao’s words.

She raised her hand and pointed it towards Jing Yunzhao. Her expression looking like she was about to come to blows was quite scary.

This Lu Jia had a completely di?erent image from Qiao Hongye. Even though she also has long hair, she wasn’t very pleasant to look at, and her facial features were pretty average. Due to puberty, she had some pimples on her face, so her skin wasn’t as good as Qiao Hongye’s.

Now that she was seriously angered, it appeared as if her pimples were about to pop. Paired with her sinister expression, Jing Yunzhao was a bit disgusted by the sight.

“So I’m a bastard. Does that mean I deserve to die, deserve to be bullied?” Jing Yunzhao raised her hand and slapped Lu Jia’s hand down with force. “I don’t like to be pointed at by others, especially by filthy things!”

“Shameless! Who’s filthy?!”

Lu Jia was always very self-conscious about her face. Now that Jing Yunzhao said it like this, Lu Jia couldn’t endure anymore and charged towards Jing Yunzhao, ignoring the people trying to stop her.

Like a mad woman, Lu Jia rushed forward with her claw-like nails and stretched out her hands towards Jing Yunzhao’s face. If this was in her past life, Lu Jia would have succeeded in reaching her face and got what she wanted. But the current Jing Yunzhao had been practising martial arts in her space for some time now. Even though her skills weren’t even good enough to be considered a beginner, her strength and reflexes were at a much higher level than little girls like Lu Jia.

Jing Yunzhao reached out her hands and grabbed Lu Jia’s fingers. She ruthlessly crushed them, resulting in the people around hearing a faint cracking sound.

With tears flowing out, Lu Jia cried out in pain.
