Chapter 525 - 525 Never Make Do
525 Never Make Do
Xing Chen took her roast and said, “I just want to stay with you too.”
Xing Xiaoya felt suffocated.
But Qiao An’s smile was sweeter than honey.
Xing Xiaoya and Xie Cunhua spoke one after another and criticized Qiao An. “Miss Qiao An, I heard that you city people are very bold. You live together before marriage, have children before marriage, and often cheat and divorce after marriage. Is that true?”
How could a scriptwriter like Qiao An not hear their words? She smiled and said, “This phenomenon doesn’t only happen in the city. It also happens in the countryside. It’s obvious that not everyone can manage love well.”
“Sister Qiao An, I heard you were divorced?”
Qiao An said, “Yeah. When I was young, I couldn’t read people well. My good taste now is all from experience back then.”
Xing Chen felt that something was wrong and glared fiercely at Xing Xiaoya and Xie Cunhua. “You can leave now.”
Qiao An hadn’t fought back yet. How could she let them leave like this? She quickly comforted Xingchen. “Don’t. Let them accompany me. I’m bored.”
Xing Chen kindly reminded Qiao An, “An’an, they are just…”
Qiao An winked at him, and Xing Chen read her mind. The girl was as clear as a mirror and pretended to be confused.
Qiao An began to fight back. “Xiao Ya, Cunhua, your Brother Xingchen and I are preparing to get married. When the time comes, please be my bridesmaids. I heard that the bridesmaids will accept our blessings and will soon find their own love.”
Xing Xiaoya’s expression was very dark.
“I don’t want to get married so quickly.”
Qiao An said, “I heard that in the countryside, girls get married very early. You’re already in your twenties and belong to the category of old leftovers. If you don’t work hard, it won’t be easy to find a husband in the future. After all, old leftovers will be despised by the man if they miss the best age to give birth.”
Xing Chen was dumbfounded.
He didn’t expect Qiao An to have such a vicious mouth. He had always thought that she was gentle and obedient, but there were times when she was so sharp and was better at manipulation than Xing Xiaoya.
Qiao An’s words hit a sore spot in Xing Xiaoya’s heart.
Xing Xiaoya had been waiting for Xing Chen. She firmly believed that Xing Chen, who valued relationships and loyalty, would marry her.
Unexpectedly, Qiao An appeared.
Xing Xiaoya snapped, “Qiao An, you don’t have to worry about me.”
Qiao An said, “Although you’re not related to Brother Xing Chen by blood, your father saved Xing Chen. On the account of your father, it’s only right for us to care more about you.”
She had deliberately created a distance between Xing Chen and Xing Xiaoya. This made Xing Xiaoya feel uncomfortable, but what Qiao An said was the truth.
Qiao An said, “Xiao Ya, everyone says that a life-saving favor should be repaid manifold. Father Xing saved Brother Xing Chen’s life, and Brother Xing Chen spent four precious years serving him until he died. It can be considered having repaid your father’s kindness. In the future, Brother Xing Chen will have to live a life that belongs to him.”
Xing Xiaoya cried anxiously. “Brother Xing Chen, are you really not going to want me anymore?”
Xing Chen said, “Xing Xiaoya, I told you that I will take care of you as an elder brother for the rest of my life.”
Qiao An added, “But whose sister would restrain a promising brother?”
Xing Chen was stunned.
Xing Xiaoya was also speechless.
Xie Cunhua felt indignant for Xing Xiaoya. “Qiao An, I can tell. You’re trying everything to ruin Xing Chen’s relationship with Xiaoya.”
Qiao An looked at Xing Chen. She didn’t care what the others said, but she cared about Xing Chen’s attitude.
“Brother Xing Chen, you said that you want to take care of her? How? Are you prepared to abandon your wife and children and stay here with her for the rest of your life?”
“An’an, how could I abandon my wife and children? I even have to take care of the daughter of my savior. How could I abandon my wife and children?” Xingchen explained anxiously.
In the end, Xing Chen could not give up on this life-saving favor.
“What if your wife needs you to leave here?” Qiao An said aggressively. She wanted Xing Xiaoya to give up.
Xing Chen was stunned. “Qiao An, you want me to leave here, right?”
Xing Xiaoya added fuel to the fire. “Brother Xing Chen, did you see that? These are her true colors. She said that she will follow your wishes. But it’s all a joke.”
Qiao An said, “I want to stay here and live a carefree life, too. But you and I have greater responsibilities on our shoulders.”
She stood up and said impassionedly, “Brother Xing Chen, a life-saving favor is making you spend your entire life being responsible for a woman. This is not true love, but selfishness and narrow-mindedness. The sky outside is wider, and there are thousands of people outside who need you more.”
With that, Qiao An threw the barbecue back into the basket.
“If you’re really going to live here for the rest of your life, I can stay here with you, but I’ll despise you and myself even more. Because we’re both living as small fries for love.”
With that, Qiao An walked out.
Xing Chen got up and chased after her. He took Qiao An’s hand and looked into her eyes steadily. “Qiao An, I haven’t made my stand yet. How can you abandon me?”
Qiao An pulled him back to Xing Xiaoya and said solemnly, “Then tell her your true thoughts now. Don’t let her fantasize about you. That’s your responsibility.”
Xing Chen looked at Xing Xiaoya and sighed helplessly. “Xing Xiaoya, I’ll say this again in front of everyone today. I won’t say it again. I have better things to do.”
“Remember, I’m only willing to take care of you on account of Father Xing. This is kindness and kinship. You know that I never make do with relationships. If I can’t be with someone I love, I can never marry. In the past, I was single, so you probably thought that if I didn’t get married, you would have a chance to wait for me to change my mind. And now that I’ve found the woman I like, you should give up on me.”
Xing Xiaoya covered her face and cried.
“Brother Xing Chen, how can you treat me like this?”
Qiao An sighed. “The more ruthless he is today, the better it will be for you.”
Xing Xiaoya glared at Qiao An angrily. “It’s all your fault for sowing discord between us.”
At this moment, Dahai stood up and said fairly, “Xiaoya, don’t lie to yourself. We all know that Xing Chen never loved you. You’re the one who’s too obsessed with him.”
Xing Xiaoya cried her heart out.
“Dad, why did you go so far? You left me in this world, alone. Why didn’t you take me with you?”
