I Dragged My Fiance's Uncle off the Altar

Getting More Imprudent

“Aunt, how can I accept this…” Xing Linlin was terrified as she glanced at Xing Shu.

Xing Shu sat down on the couch calmly. “It’s very late today. You should go back first.”

Xing Linlin’s face turned pale as she bit her lip in a pitiful manner. “Xing Shu, you’re still angry with me. I’ll call Xingyang now and ask him not to care about me in the future.” Her fingers trembled as she dialed the number.

Wu Minxia frowned disapprovingly. “Xing Shu, you and Linlin grew up in the same orphanage. You’ve known each other for so many years. Don’t you know her? Linlin has always had a weak constitution. Don’t talk to her like that—you’ll scare her.”

Xing Shu and Xing Linlin grew up in the same orphanage. The two of them were as close as sisters. On Xing Shu’s seventh birthday, Xing Linlin—who was two years younger than her—somehow got some money to buy a small cake for Xing Shu. The cake was made of the cheapest butter cream, and some of it was even smudged when she brought it out. Back then, the two of them cried while looking at the cake and made a wish—they would buy many cakes and celebrate every birthday seriously when they have money in the future.

When the Xing family found her at the age of 10, Xing Shu begged them to take Xing Linlin too. They even went to school together. Although the two of them were not in the same class, they were still inseparable. However… innocence only blooms in poverty. After having a taste of the good life, Xing Linlin changed into a completely different person.

“Aunt…” Xing Linlin’s face was filled with guilt and she was about to cry.

As Xing Shu recalled the used condoms in Cheng Xingyang’s car and the lipstick that Xing Linlin had deliberately left there, she inadvertently blurted out, “Mom, since you like Xing Linlin so much, why don’t you just acknowledge her as your daughter?”

Xing Shu said it out of anger, but Wu Minxia began to consider it in earnest. Xing Shu felt a stab of unprecedented humiliation in that instant. Her nails dug into her palms. How could she have forgotten that the most popular person in this house was not her, but Xing Linlin? Even the servants in the house were proud when they talked about Xing Linlin. Xing Shu herself was chummy before she found out about her amour with Cheng Xingyang. Xing Linlin was duplicitous and adept at fooling people with her feigned fragility.

“I’ll give you three days to move out of that villa.” Xing Shu gritted her teeth until her mouth was filled with the taste of blood. She was undoubtedly the biggest joke in the world. She had always felt that she owed her parents for begging them to take in Xing Linlin. Hence, she worked her b*tt off and did her best at everything. But all the awards and trophies she received could not hold a candle to Xing Linlin’s sweet words. In the end, Xing Shu—the biological daughter—was sidelined.

When Xing Linlin heard Xing Shu’s words, she sneered silently. That villa was given to her by Cheng Xingyang. What right has Xing Shu got to make her move out? However—no matter how haughty she secretly was—she still portrayed herself to look aggrieved. “Xing Shu, don’t be angry. I’ll listen to you.”

Unaware of things, Wu Minxia hugged Xing Linlin and comforted her. At the same time, she chided Xing Shu, “Xing Shu, what’s wrong with you today? Why are you treating Linlin like this?”

Xing Linlin said, “Aunt, it’s all my fault. I didn’t have a place to stay previously, so I stayed at Xingyang’s villa in the suburbs for two days. Xing Shu might have misunderstood.”

Wu Minxia looked at Xing Shu in disappointment. “Xingyang has so many properties. It’s not a big deal to lend a villa to Linlin. He treats your friend well is akin to treating you well. Isn’t it?”

“Mom,” Xing Shu said coldly, “Since Cheng Xingyang treats Xing Linlin so well, why don’t you let the two of them get married?”

“You!” Wu Minxia trembled with anger. “Xing Shu, why are you getting more and more imprudent?!”

Xing Shu’s heart ached. She had been obedient for so many years, but yet, the Xing family had become increasingly stricter with her and did not allow her to make any mistakes. On the other hand, Xing Linlin—who had always been clumsy and had the worst grades—was doted on by them. They felt that she was an innocent and guileless girl who needed to be protected.

Xing Shu said, “Yes, I’m imprudent. Why don’t you ask Xing Linlin what she did? Ask her too, how many times has she slept with Cheng Xingyang?!”

Wu Minxia immediately slapped her. Xing Shu was dumbstruck—she did not expect this at all.

Xing Shu touched her burning cheek. Not only did her face hurt, but her heart hurt also. It was so excruciating that her entire body clenched in agony.
