Chapter 121: Reconciliation of the Sister and Sister-in-law

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In the private room of the Western restaurant, the sister and the sister-in-law sat face to face. The atmosphere was indescribably awkward.

Shang Liqing treated Qu Xiao as if she was air. She eagerly ordered two servings of almost every item on the menu and raised her eyebrows provocatively.

Qu Xiao shrugged and gestured for the waiter to place the order according to Shang Liqing’s request.

In the quiet enclosed space, Qu Xiao handed a hot towel to Shang Liqing and said in a light tone, “We’re all people who love Shang Yan. It’s tough for him to be sandwiched between us. You can voice any resentment and dissatisfaction toward me to my face.”

“I just hope that we can resolve our misunderstandings and prejudices. Even if we can’t be friend-like family members, we shouldn’t spend the next few decades with hatred and hostility.”

Qu Xiao noticed that Shang Liqing’s actions had stopped from the corner of her eyes. She repeated with a light smile, “I won’t divorce Shang Yan.”

Thud! Shang Liqing threw the towel to the ground.

Her curved eyebrows were tightly knitted together. She pointed at the tip of Qu Xiao’s nose and said, “Stop pretending!”

“I once witnessed you and Ling Chi going to a hotel room when my second brother was on a business trip!”

“I will never forget the way you flattered Ling Chi!”

Shang Liqing’s voice was hoarse, and Qu Xiao was stunned when she heard it. She recalled the memories of the original Qu Xiao. There was indeed a time when Ling Chi called her out when he was drunk, but they did not cross the line. Ling Chi only wanted to ridicule Qu Xiao in front of his friends.

Qu Xiao was silent, but Shang Liqing treated her reaction as guilt.

Shang Liqing bit her red lips and took a deep breath in anger.

“I didn’t mention this to anyone, not because I care about your ego, but because I don’t want to see Grandfather and Second Brother upset! You can never change the dirty things you’ve done. I won’t forgive you.”

“Don’t bother me anymore in the future. I don’t want to see you! And I don’t want to see Second Brother being fooled around by you.”

Shang Liqing supported herself on the ground and wanted to leave, but Qu Xiao grabbed her arm.

Bang! Shang Liqing wanted to shake her hand off, but she accidentally knocked over the hot water bottle on the wooden cabinet. Boiling tea poured out and all over Qu Xiao’s forearm. Her fair skin instantly turned red, and Qu Xiao felt a stabbing pain as she gritted her teeth. But she did not forget to comfort the frightened Shang Liqing, “It’s okay.”

“You… This! I’ll send you to the hospital.”

Shang Liqing saw the burn on Qu Xiao’s forearm and paced around in panic, wanting to call the emergency number 120.

Qu Xiao was amused by her. She used an ice block to apply a cold compress to the burn as a simple emergency treatment. “Can you send me to the hospital?”

Shang Liqing looked at the car keys that she handed over and nodded after two seconds of hesitation. She subconsciously helped Qu Xiao up.

It seemed that sometimes getting injured was not a bad thing.

The ruse of inflicting pain on oneself works with Shang Liqing!

Shang Liqing held the steering wheel and kept glancing nervously at Qu Xiao, who was in the passenger seat. When she saw her calm expression as if she was not injured, she could not help but ask, “Did you turn silly from the pain? Can you still feel your forearm? You…Give Second Brother a call!”
