Chapter 263: Meeting the Family (1)

Yan Qingqing pointed a finger at Ye Tianxin.

She could not accept this. She could not accept that her elder sister had spent all these years loving Li Qingcang.

She could not accept it. She could not accept how she had been embarrassed at the banquet hall tonight.

Li Qingcang held Ye Tianxin’s hand and pressed it gently.

Ye Tianxin looked up and saw Li Qingcang’s face, cold and serious. She saw his thin lips parting slightly and saying something, and it warmed Ye Tianxin’s heart.

“My Little Tianxin does not need anything else. She only needs me.”

Li Qingcang’s words seemed as if there was nothing special to them. However, there was a hint of arrogance and dominance in it. It surprised Yan Qingqing, and she couldn’t utter a word.

To Yan Qingqing, all these issues were Ye Tianxin’s flaws. However, Li Qingcang saw them differently.

“She will not be happy.”

Even from way back when, poor women didn’t have happy endings when they married into wealthy and influential families.

Had they not seen that in fairytales, the prince would always end up with a princess?

Even Cinderella was a rich girl who was not favored by her stepmother.

Meanwhile, Ye Tianxin was not even close to being a middle-class girl.

The pumpkin carriage, the magic that ends at midnight—she had none of those.

How could she possibly be happy?

“It is not up to you to say whether I will be happy or not,” Ye Tianxin said to Yan Qingqing. She was in charge of her own happiness.

Yes, to everyone right now, there was a wide gap between her and Li Qingcang.

Everyone thought that she was unworthy of Li Qingcang.

Only she herself understood that it did not matter if she was unworthy of Li Qingcang.

Someday, they would see that she was worthy of him. She herself wanted to be worthy of him.

“What’s the point of talking to her? Let’s go.”

Li Qingcang took his handkerchief and held Ye Tianxin’s hand. They walked past Yan Qingqing.

Yan Qingqing’s eyes were filled with resentment.

The two people in front of her were undeniably gorgeous—they were dressed well. They made such a beautiful picture, but she did not think that they looked good at all.

When Ye Tianxin and Li Qingcang had left, Yan Qingqing lifted her head and looked at the tie on the branch.

They were asking for blessings? What for?

‘Ye Tianxin, you have embarrassed me today, yet you still want to ask for blessings… How greedy. I shan’t allow you to! I’m going to make sure you won’t get anything you’ve asked for.’

Yan Qingqing was much shorter than Ye Tianxin. She would not be able to catch the tie that fluttered in the wind if she were to stand under the tree. After a moment of hesitation, she took off her heels and tried to climb up the tree.

The trunk of the ancient tree was very big. Yan Qingqing could not climb it at all.

She looked around for a long time before she found a ladder that the cleaners had left behind the shrubs.

Yan Qingqing was very pleased. It was as if she had found treasure. She steadied the ladder and climbed up slowly. She reached out and tried to grab the tie.

“Qingqing, what are you doing?”

Yan Lili coming out of nowhere shocked Yan Qingqing. “Sis, I am trying to get something.”

She was going to take the tie down and throw it into the bin. No. She was going to cut it into pieces.

She would not let Ye Tianxin get what she wanted.

“Be careful!”

Yan Qingqing could touch the tie from where she was standing, but she needed to go up one more step if she wanted to remove it from the branch.

Yan Qingqing took a step and stepped on her skirt.

She was frightened, and she screamed shrilly, “Aah! Sis!”

Crash!

There was a loud crash, and Yan Qingqing fell from the stairs onto the ground, holding a piece of the tie in her hand.

It hurt.

It hurt a lot.

It hurt really badly.

Yan Qingqing lay on the ground and did not move at all. She felt like the bone in her leg was broken.

“Sis, it hurts!”

Even though Yan Lili studied medicine, psychology was her specialization.

She sat down beside Yan Qingqing and said, “Qingqing, don’t be afraid. I’ll call the ambulance.”
