Chapter 899: A Million Times for You (261)
An Xiaoning was speechless. “Cut the c.r.a.p, I don’t feel honored or flattered at all. Whatever. Like you said, you’ve already gotten the surgery done. You can’t possibly go under the knife again. But I must remind you, you’d better not have any children for the rest of your life. Your child is going to be ugly since he or she would be inheriting your genes. When that happens, your lie is going to be exposed.”
“Doesn’t matter. My children can go under the knife too when they grow up,” Bu Xianxian answered nonchalantly.
“Your children are going to be so unlucky. People are going to wonder if they’re really your children right after they’re born. When they grow up, they’ll even have to bear the risks and pain of going under the knife. Poor children. When age catches up with you, the effects of your plastic surgery are going to wear off and your true features are going to be exposed.”
“You… can’t you say something nice about me?” Bu Xianxian retorted.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t.”
“…”
Jin Qingyan raised his brows and questioned austerely, “Who gave you the courage and audacity… to return to Wei Ni Estate even after you went under the knife to look like Xiaoning?”
“Nick… I got my features altered to look like hers solely because I couldn’t get a boyfriend with that face of mine before. Besides, everyone can tell that we’re two separate people. I only look 80% identical to her, not entirely,” said the obnoxious Bu Xianxian, who had become much more confident after her plastic surgery. She sounded rather self-righteous, as if she did not do anything wrong at all.
Indeed, she had the right to go under the knife and was not breaking the law.
However, it was illegal to Jin Qingyan.
He could not help but feel annoyed and infuriated, especially since he would have to see her around frequently in Wei Ni Estate. He could not stand the fact that she now looked so similar to the love of his life.
“Move out tomorrow with your parents.”
An Xiaoning was thrilled to hear his words, for she utterly detested Bu Xianxian. It was wonderful that she no longer had to see her.
“Nick… are you mistaken about something? I didn’t get plastic surgery because of you. Actually, I no longer harbor any feelings or designs on you. I only went under the knife because I want to get a boyfriend.”
“I didn’t mistake anything. I don’t care what you think at all. It’s my opinion that matters most. I don’t want to see your face ever again.”
The smile on Bu Xianxian’s face vanished instantly. Slightly dumbfounded, she said, “Did you forget something? Without me, you wouldn’t be here today. I saved your life!”
“Don’t try and emotionally blackmail me with that. I’m very grateful toward you for saving my life, but that’s a separate issue altogether. Don’t lump them together. Besides, I’ve already repaid you for your help. Otherwise, where would you have gotten the money for plastic surgery?”
Bu Xianxian retorted angrily, “You’re just chasing me and my parents away now, aren’t you? You’re chasing your life saviors away just because I got plastic surgery to look like An Xiaoning. Good job.”
A frown creased Jin Qingyan’s forehead. Just as he was about to say something, An Xiaoning grabbed his hand and put on an innocent smile.
An Xiaoning said, “Bu Xianxian, you’ve already mastered the native language of S Nation and we’ve also given you five million dollars. That’s enough to last you and your family a lifetime. Isn’t it great to live life on your own? Why must you insist on staying in our house?”
She stood up and walked toward Bu Xianxian. Scanning Bu Xianxian from head to toe, An Xiaoning continued, “I heard plastic surgery is addictive. Don’t become an addict. Actually, you don’t resemble me that much, now that I’ve taken a closer look. We still don’t look the same. Our lips are completely different. Your eyes are too big and too far apart, and your nose bridge is too high. It doesn’t go well with your lips at all. How many whitening injections have you had to undergo to get rid of the dark pigments of your skin? Seems like you’ve gone through a great deal of pain. Do you still plan to continue getting more work done?”
“What has… my decision got to do with you? You’re just lucky to be born with good looks,” Bu Xianxian retorted.
“A beautiful woman can attract men with her personality, but what makes a man stay devoted to you is your personality.”
“Talk is cheap. Who’s going to want to get to know my personality with those hideous looks of mine previously?”
“You’re wrong. Your looks are only part of the reason why the men in Wei Ni Estate dislike you. Your personality is the main issue,” An Xiaoning said calmly.
“What’s wrong with my personality? I have a great personality, your people here just don’t know how to appreciate it,” she protested.
“Yes, yes, our men here lack the ability to appreciate such a wonderful personality like yours. Now that you’ve become beautiful, take your awesome personality with you and move out together with your parents.”
Bu Xianxian s.h.i.+fted her gaze toward Jin Qingyan and glowered at him with resentment in her eyes. “Nick, are you really going to be so heartless?”
Unable to tolerate it any further, An Xiaoning interjected scornfully, “He doesn’t want to talk to you. In fact, he wants to shove some feces into your mouth.”
Glaring daggers at her, Bu Xianxian retorted, “You’re so crude with your words… I’m talking to Nick, not you. You don’t have to answer on his behalf.”
“I’m sorry, but he’s my man and I must answer on his behalf since he’s so unwilling to talk to you. I wouldn’t bother if it was someone else. Stop trying to emotionally blackmail him with the fact that you saved his life. Even if Qingyan doesn’t, I’ll help you and your family should your lives be put in danger in the future. You ought to know your place. Go embark on your pursuit for happiness with that plastic face of yours.”
An Xiaoning was already trying her best to be polite.
Bu Xianxian sneered, “You were the one who badmouthed me in front of him, weren’t you?”
“You’re just measuring another’s corn by your own bushel. If there’s nothing else, pack your bags and leave with your parents,” said An Xiaoning, who could not be bothered to argue with her.
Seeing that there was no way to salvage the situation, Bu Xianxian turned around to leave without saying another word.
An Xiaoning grabbed his face and kissed him zealously. “Well done!”
“Is this all I get as a reward?”
“What else are you expecting?”
“It’s not enough.”
“Let’s get married again.”
A silence filled the air. Jin Qingyan’s eyes glistened in joy and surprise. However, the glimmer in his eyes soon faded.
“Didn’t you say that you don’t believe in marriage anymore? Didn’t you say that you believe that you’ve been cursed? Why…”
An Xiaoning interrupted, “My desire to become your wife again is far greater than my phobia toward marriage and overpowers my worries about the curse.”
He placed his hand on hers and gently caressed her skin with his fingertips.
“You’re already enjoying the privileges and treatment that my wife would enjoy. You’ll still be my woman, the mother of my son, and the mistress of this house, with or without that certificate.”
