The Sickly Fake Daughter, But a Beloved Darling of All - Chapter 104

The smile on Xu Jing’s face vanished instantly. She stared fixedly at Xu Chengjin, scanning her from head to toe as if repeatedly verifying the truth of those words.

“You and Si Yu have slept together?”

Xu Jing sat down slowly on the edge of the bed, her gaze suddenly becoming soft. “When? Was it in the last few days?”

Xu Chengjin sensed something was wrong and shrank back further. “Sister.”

“Hmm?”

Xu Jing helped tidy Xu Chengjin’s clothes, her voice very light. “What is it?”

“Are you truly not afraid that I will hate you?”

Xu Chengjin still wanted to make one last effort; her words sounded incredibly humble. “Let me leave. I’ll act as if nothing ever happened.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Jing only smiled, but she didn’t have the slightest intention of letting Xu Chengjin go. She gave a soft sigh. “Can we really act as if nothing happened? We aren’t children anymore, Xiaojin. The deed is done, and there is no reason to look back.”

“I truly love you. We were meant to be together in the first place.”

Xu Jing leaned closer to Xu Chengjin again, reaching out her hand to lightly touch the other’s face. “Xiaojin, don’t hide from me.”

Xu Chengjin remained motionless. She no longer showed the vulnerability she had displayed before; there was nothing left but total coldness. Her lips moved, and she spoke: “Xu Jing, I hate you to death.”

Actually, they shouldn’t have reached this point…

They shouldn’t have…

Xu Chengjin bit her lip and directly slapped Xu Jing’s hand away. “Get out. Don’t touch me.”

Xu Jing wasn’t angry at having her hand slapped away; instead, her smile grew even wider. “It’s good that you can still get angry.”

“I won’t touch you, Xiaojin. I’ll bring the food in a moment; be careful by yourself.”

Xu Jing knew that touching Xu Chengjin now would only make her more repulsed. She planned to “boil the frog in lukewarm water.” She knew Xu Chengjin too well; the person before her had a very soft heart. On the surface, she built a high wall for herself, but in reality, her heart could be pried open with just a few soft words.

Xu Chengjin was a child she had raised.

Even if Xu Chengjin and Si Yu had excessive intimate contact, what of it? Everyone has an ex. A proper ex should be completely erased from Xu Chengjin’s memory.

Xu Jing first brought in dinner and set it carefully aside. Then she said softly, “The food is here. I’m going to handle some matters. Stay home and be good. If anything happens, just call out for me; I will hear you.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Chengjin’s heart sank halfway. With her back to Xu Jing, she realized there were likely several cameras in this house pointed at her.

Madwoman.

“I’m leaving.”

After ruffling Xu Chengjin’s hair, Xu Jing withdrew her hand and prepared to leave. She took out her phone and dialed a number: “Regarding that Si Corporation project…”

“I’m coming back now. Remember to call those people over.”

Xu Jing put on her overcoat. The moment she opened the door, she felt her vision go dark. In the next second, a violent pain radiated from her face. She stumbled back a few steps, looking over in a daze. “You—”

It was Si Yu.

Si Yu stared at her expressionlessly; it wasn’t hard to feel her current emotions. Si Yu grabbed Xu Jing by the collar, a mocking smile pulling at her lips. “Xu Jing, I used to think you were a decent enough opponent. Now it seems you are nothing more than a brainless fool.”

She looked down at Xu Jing and said, word by word: “Open the door.”

“I want to see Xu Chengjin.”
