Chapter 533 If You Want To Be Beaten, I’ll Help You
Xu Anran hurriedly chased after her with tears in her eyes. “Sister, I know you hate me and think that I stole your ident.i.ty, but I’m innocent. Mom is also in a difficult position. On one hand, it’s her biological daughter, and on the other, it’s her adopted daughter who has accompanied her for 20 years. Why can’t we get along well? Sister, let’s go out and talk, alright?”
Xu Anran looked sad, but a sinister smile flashed across her eyes.
Qiao Xi knew that she had ill intentions, but she was just curious about what Xu Anran wanted to do. Hence, she nodded. “Alright.”
The Shen family’s courtyard was very big. Xu Anran walked around and brought her to a remote corner.
Xu Anran was scheming in her heart with every step she took. Now that everyone knew that she had arranged a room in the bas.e.m.e.nt for Qiao Xi and she wanted to kill Qiao Xi, she had to clear her name. The best way was to push all the blame on Qiao Xi.
Before leaving, Xu Anran had already found out that the Shen family’s courtyard was full of surveillance cameras, but there was no audio function. As long as she deliberately angered Qiao Xi and made her unable to restrain her anger, then all the guests in the Shen family would see Qiao Xi’s ugly face.
The eldest daughter of the Xu family could only be her! The t.i.tle of Mrs. Gu could only belong to her!
Hence, Xu Anran tried her best to persuade her. “Sister, do you know why President Gu married a country b.u.mpkin like you? He probably just thinks that you don’t know anything. A few years later, he’ll kick you away. If you don’t get a divorce now, you’ll regret it in the future. I’m your sister, so why would I lie to you?
“Mom asked me to marry President Gu not because she’s biased toward me, but because she thinks that I can hold on to President Gu more and bring more benefits to the Xu family. But you… If you don’t have the ability, then don’t occupy the position of Mrs. Gu.
“Moreover, Dad and Mom said that the eldest daughter of the Xu family can only be me. You’re just a country b.u.mpkin. You’re not worthy to be the daughter of the Xu family at all. They brought you back just to—”.
Qiao Xi interrupted her. “Xu Anran, you called me out alone just to infuriate me, right? You want me to attack you, so you’re saying these words to trigger me. You’ll then claim that I beat you up, that I’m irritable and easily angered. Meanwhile, you’ll make yourself seem innocent to completely destroy my reputation. Is that it?”
Xu Anran’s eyes darkened as she pretended to be aggrieved. “Sister, that’s not what I meant. I’m telling the truth. Do you think you’re worthy of being the eldest daughter of the Xu family? Dad and Mom didn’t want to look for you before because—”
Smack!
Before she could finish, a slap landed on Xu Anran’s face.
The corners of Qiao Xi’s mouth curled up. “Since you want to be beaten so badly, then I’ll fulfill your wish!”
This slap made Xu Anran’s face burn, but her face seemed fine.
Xu Anran wanted to anger Qiao Xi, but she did not expect Qiao Xi to be so arrogant and slap her. She gritted her teeth and forcefully endured her anger. Now that Qiao Xi had fallen into her trap, it could be said that she had gotten what she wanted. Hence, tears immediately welled up in her eyes. “Sister, why did you hit me? I know you hate me for taking your position, but someone swapped us back then. At that time, I was only an infant. How can you blame me for this?
“Although you and President Gu are married, I know that you’re not happy. You just refuse to tell the family about the issues you’re facing, so Mom wants me to be Mrs. Gu in your place. It’s also considered “
Smack!
Qiao Xi raised her hand and slapped her again.
Xu Anran had a surprised expression. In just a short while, she was actually slapped twice by Qiao Xi.
“You actually… Just you wait!”
Qiao Xi stroked her hair. “Do you know how noisy you are?!”
“Although I’m an adopted daughter, I’ve been by Dad and Mom’s side for 20 years. Dad and Mom treat me as their own. What right do you have to hit me? I can’t let you bully me like this!”
“Bully? Do you think I’m bullying you?” Qiao Xi crossed her arms and smiled coldly.
Xu Anran felt a chill run down her spine. She suppressed her anger and was about to cry.
“Are you going to cry, throw a tantrum, and make everyone see the palm print on your face? Will you accuse me of hitting you for no reason? Will you say that I was so jealous that I wanted to chase an adopted daughter like you out of the house? Will you say that I’m targeting you?” Qiao Xi asked.
