Chapter 26
Xia Chuxi embraced Qiao Yiren and comforted her non-stop. His gaze became especially fierce when it fell upon Su Qianxun. He believed that Su Jiye only acted under Su Qianxun’s instruction. Otherwise, why would an autistic person suddenly run towards them and shove Qiao Yiren away?
Su Qianxun was in a daze. Xia Chuxi never treated Su Qianxun so affectionately in the past. Even though they seemed close, the look in Xia Chuxi’s eyes when he gazed at Qiao Yiren was completely different compared with how he used to look at Su Qianxun.
“He isn’t the Chuxi we know anymore. I…” Su Qianxun recalled everything she used to share with Xia Chuxi. She embraced her brother tightly and said in determination, “I don’t want him anymore! So, don’t do any more stupid things like this.”
“Yiren!” Xia Chuxi raised his leg in fury and gave Su Jiye’s stomach a hard kick. Su Jiye staggered a few steps back and fell onto the ground as well, clutching his stomach. He was in so much pain that sweat began to form on his forehead.
Qiao Yiren held on to his arm lovingly and walked down the stairs with him, a timid expression on her face. She whispered affectionately into his ear, and Xia Chuxi smiled. He then lowered his head to place a gentle kiss on her forehead.
“You two b*tches, if anything happens to Yiren and her baby, you guys will have to compensate for it with your lives!” Su Manni glared at Su Qianxun and Su Jiye with a ferocious expression. It was as if she wanted to eat them up.
At that moment, she was in a trance, as though time had reversed. In the past, every time she saw him coming down, she would run up to him happily and wrap her arm around his as they walked down the stairs together.
‘Su Ci, so what if you’re dad’s biological daughter? Everything that you used to have is mine now; your husband is now my husband, and your daughter’s fiance will also become my daughter’s husband!’
Su Qianxun who had on her simple clothes and Su Jiye who cut a sorry figure stood at the center of the hall. With their shabby appearances, both of them no longer looked like they belonged there.
Su Qianxun suddenly lost her grip on her brother. Si Jiye had been standing quietly next to her, but he suddenly rushed towards Xia Chuxi and Qiao Yiren who had just gotten down from the stairs.
Everyone ran in a flurry towards Qiao Yiren, who had fallen on the ground, and showed concern for her. Su Qianxun and Su Jiye, who were locked in a tight embrace, only had each other.
In the magnificent main hall, Qiao Bonian was seated in the main seat while Su Manni and Qiao Yiren, who were dressed in gorgeous clothes and accessories, sat on either side of him.
Su Qianxun ran towards Su Jiye and hugged her younger brother worriedly. Tears were falling out of her eyes like raindrops. “Jiye, how are you feeling? Is it very painful?”
Su Manni looked at her daughter and Xia Chuxi with a satisfied expression. She felt even more delighted when she saw the pale-faced Su Qianxun from the corner of her eye.
Su Jiye dashed towards Xia Chuxi and Qiao Yiren. He angrily shoved Qiao Yiren away. He then grabbed Xia Chuxi’s hand and dragged him in his sister’s direction.
Qiao Bonian had not spoken a word. He sat in the main seat and drank tea using a high-class porcelain cup from old man Su’s collection.
