Chapter 97 I feel disgusted eating with you
Chapter 97 I feel disgusted eating with you
Despite Zhu Ziqing's outward composure as calm as still water after hearing Zhu Yahan's words, Zhu Ziqing remained calm and composed.
But deep down, how could she not yearn for her father's love and long for a harmonious and happy family?
However, the repeated hurts forced her to bury this longing deep in her heart.
Zhu Yahan's eyes glistened with tears of grievance.
Zhu Ziqing, however, simply watched coldly, unmoved.
However, in the softest corner of her heart, she was still gently touched.
It was a fleeting remembrance of past family ties.
At that time, Zhu Ziqing saw Wan Qingsha and Zhu Yahan together and lost faith in relationships.
I feel angry and disappointed by Wan Qingsha's betrayal.
She believed that relationships maintained through sexual relations would not last, which led to conflict with her father.
Zhu Ziqing still remembers the scene when she saw Wan Qingsha and Zhu Yahan cuddling together intimately, and her heart ached as if it were being torn apart.
Her eyes burned with anger and disappointment. Biting her lower lip, she said bitterly, "Wan Qingsha, how could you betray me like this?"
In her mind, a relationship maintained through sexual relations is like a castle in the air, with an unstable foundation, and it will collapse sooner or later.
When her father told her that he was going to cancel her engagement with Wan Qingsha and instead have Zhu Yahan marry into the Wan family.
Zhu Ziqing's eyes widened, and she shouted incredulously, "Dad, how could you make such a decision?"
Zhu's father frowned and said with a look of disgust, "You can't have children yourself, so what right do you have to marry into the Wan family?"
Zhu Ziqing felt a wave of nausea wash over her and retorted angrily, "Dad, how can you be so heartless? Are you willing to sacrifice my happiness for the sake of the family's interests? If a relationship is only maintained through sex, it is destined to be short-lived."
Her words were sharp and cutting, leaving Zhu's father speechless.
In the end, Zhu Ziqing resolutely chose to leave the capital, pack her bags, and fly far away.
After tearfully bidding farewell to her grandmother, she embarked on her journey to Shenzhen alone.
In the end, she only told her beloved grandmother where she was going.
Time passed, and they met again when Zhu Yahan stepped into Shenzhen.
Upon seeing Zhu Ziqing, she wore a fake smile and urged, "Qingqing, come back with me."
Zhu Ziqing observed coldly, but understood his intentions perfectly.
Zhu Yahan knew Zhu Ziqing's temperament well and understood that she would never forgive Wan Qingsha's betrayal.
This trip was merely to find out whether Zhu Ziqing had given up on Wan Qingsha and whether she would return to the capital to threaten her position in the Wan family.
With a seemingly friendly smile on her face, Zhu Yahan advised, "Qingqing, why don't you come back with me?"
Zhu Ziqing looked at her coldly, understanding her intentions.
Zhu Yahan knew Zhu Ziqing's personality well and knew that she would never easily forgive Wan Qingsha's betrayal.
Her trip was merely to confirm whether Zhu Ziqing had truly given up on Wan Qingsha and whether she would return to the capital to threaten her position in the Wan family.
Zhu Yahan gently tossed her hair and deliberately showed off, "Qingqing, look at my new luxury handbag and platinum card, they were all given to me by Wan Qingsha."
As she spoke, she took out the check from her bag, pushed it in front of Zhu Ziqing, and said arrogantly, "Here is 100,000 yuan. Take this money, leave Pengcheng, go far away, and never come back."
Zhu Ziqing looked at the check with disdain in her heart.
She knew that Zhu Yahan's real purpose was to get her completely away from the Wan family so as to ensure her own position in the Wan family was safe.
She sneered and said, "Zhu Yahan, do you think I care about your money? It's ridiculous that you're trying to fob me off with this kind of trick."
Zhu Yahan's eyes held a hint of smugness and arrogance.
She assumed Zhu Ziqing thought the money was too little, so she handed the platinum card to Zhu Ziqing and said softly, "Qingqing, this is a platinum card that Wan Qingsha gave me. There are two million in it. Take it and go far away. Find someone who likes you and marry him."
Zhu Ziqing's lips curled into a mocking smile as she retorted, "Hmph, if I really did return to the capital to have Wan Qingsha's child as you wish, why would the Wan family only treat me a mere two million? Don't underestimate me."
Seeing that things were not going well, Zhu Yahan immediately put on a pitiful look.
Her eyes reddened, and her voice choked with emotion: "Qingqing, I know I've wronged you, but I had no choice."
Zhu Ziqing, however, remained indifferent and unmoved.
She said coldly, "Stop with your hypocrisy. I won't be fooled. Let me make it clear: I don't care about Father or Wan Qingsha at all. I'm only here to find out about Mother. Don't try to fob me off with anything else."
Zhu Yahan panicked, but still tried to remain calm and began to fabricate a lie: "Qingqing, Mother is not in good health. She asked me to tell you to listen to Father's arrangements and not to be willful."
Upon hearing the news about her mother, Zhu Ziqing's heart tightened, and her brows furrowed.
My mother's words from two years ago involuntarily surfaced in my mind, and endless complex emotions welled up in my heart.
It evokes both deep nostalgia and a sense of helplessness and sorrow in the face of this cruel reality.
Seeing Zhu Ziqing deep in thought, Zhu Yahan continued, "Mother also said that you should restrain your temper, let bygones be bygones, and stop fighting with me. After all, we are sisters."
Zhu Yahan keenly noticed the sadness in Zhu Ziqing's eyes.
She knew she had successfully taken advantage of Zhu Ziqing's deep affection for her mother, and she felt secretly pleased with herself.
She pushed the platinum card towards Zhu Ziqing again, emphasizing her words, "Qingqing, I know your personality. I won't force you to do anything you don't want to do. Take this card, go somewhere no one can find you, and live a good life."
Zhu Ziqing knew perfectly well that Zhu Yahan had offered two million yuan to make her leave Pengcheng.
He was simply afraid that she would ruin his relationship with Wan Qingsha.
Zhu Yahan attempted to easily resolve all these troubles with money.
Zhu Ziqing sneered, her eyes full of disdain: "Zhu Yahan, you think two million can get rid of me? You're too naive, you underestimate me. You really think I can't see through your elaborate scheme?"
Zhu Yahan's expression changed slightly, but she still tried to remain calm: "Qingqing, don't say that. I just want to help you."
"Help me?" Zhu Ziqing raised her voice, "You're just helping yourself, aren't you? You want to monopolize Wanqingsha, and solidify your position in the Zhu and Wan families. Do you think I'm a fool?"
Seeing that the conversation had reached a stalemate, Zhu Yahan changed her tone and said gently, "Qingqing, I ordered your favorite dishes. Let's sit down and talk while we eat. Let's not be so tense."
Zhu Ziqing frowned in disgust: "Eat with you? I'm not in the mood for that. Eating with someone you like is the only way to enjoy yourself. Sitting with you just makes me feel nauseous."
