The Sickly Fake Daughter, But a Beloved Darling of All - Chapter 45

“What?”

Xu Chengjin was completely stunned. She subconsciously looked down at her feet, but the next second she understood what Si Yu meant. This manor was actually… Si Yu’s?

“Are you saying this manor is a gift from you?”

Xu Chengjin could barely believe it. It was rumored that someone had paid a huge price for this place back then and later spent a lot of effort to maintain it. She had been quite surprised when her father and mother told her they were holding the banquet here, as the owner of the manor had always been unwilling to rent it out.

She just hadn’t expected the manor’s owner to be Si Yu.

“Yes.”

Si Yu placed the key in Xu Chengjin’s palm, her smile very faint: “Do you like it?”

“Your parents came to see me. I told them then that I planned to give this to you as a gift, and I specifically asked them not to tell you.”

Si Yu immediately withdrew her hand after placing the key in Xu Chengjin’s palm, afraid of touching the other person. Although she looked outwardly composed, her tone had clearly changed. At least Xu Chengjin could sense the unhappiness in her heart.

“Si Yu… I…”

Xu Chengjin’s words were cut short by Xu Jing: “Thank you, CEO Si. This is a huge sacrifice.”

Xu Jing looked sideways at Si Yu: “I didn’t expect CEO Si to be so generous. Looking at it this way, the gift I gave is insignificant.”

She pursed her lips, as if casually bringing up the topic: “I gave Xiao jin a violin. You probably didn’t know, but Xiao jin is actually very good at playing the violin, very talented. But then again, it was always me who accompanied her to lessons and competitions. CEO Si missed out.”

“Those are all things of the past. People should look forward. Being fixated on past memories is not always good, otherwise it always makes people feel like CEO Xu is yearning for something.”

Si Yu chuckled softly: “Perhaps you’re just too afraid of losing.”

“What are you talking about, CEO Si.” Xu Jing held Xu Chengjin’s hand. She looked closely at the bracelet on the hand and immediately said to Jin Xi, “It seems you are also very generous. This bracelet shouldn’t be cheap.”

Jin Xi immediately replied: “It’s alright, acceptable.”

Xu Jing nodded: “That’s good, otherwise I would be afraid that you might not have enough to eat or sleep, causing our Xiao jin to feel guilty.”

The targeting in her words was too strong. Xu Chengjin immediately looked up at her and quietly chastised: “What are you saying?”

But Xu Jing didn’t look at her, instead turning to Wu Boran and saying: “Your parents have also been talking to me about you these past two days, saying it’s great that you and Xiao jin are in the same dorm, asking you to look after each other. They also said that if you weren’t well-behaved, I could offer some guidance, hoping I could treat you like a younger sister too.”

The meaning of this sentence was that she would always be the elder sister, placing Wu Boran below her.

Xu Chengjin completely hadn’t expected Xu Jing to be so aggressive. She looked over in astonishment. The next second, her peripheral vision caught Si Yu’s intention to leave. Just as she was about to speak, Jin Xi blocked her sight: “However, Xiao jin and I are the same age, so we’ll have more topics to discuss.”

“That’s right, people of the same age get along better. At least we can spend time together day and night now.”

Wu Boran curled her lips. She wasn’t intimidated by Xu Jing at all: “You agree, right, elder sister.”

“Day and night… how many years is university.”

Xu Jing spread her hands, seemingly helpless: “It’s nothing more than a momentary blink of an eye, it will pass in an instant.”

“…You…” Wu Boran still wanted to say something, but Xu Chengjin immediately interrupted: “A momentary blink of an eye?”

Xu Chengjin stood amidst the crowd. She looked up and scanned them, saying softly: “If that’s the case, then the person I will marry in the future is the one who will truly be by my side forever—”

“Sharing the rest of life together.”
