Chapter 7: Chapter 7: Qiao Anchu is Unwilling _1
This worthless, talentless person dares to challenge me? A hint of a fracture appeared on Qiao Anchu's refined face, her heart roaring in fury. Qiao Xiaren, you damned fool, the opportunity to treat Miss Zhilan's illness was supposed to be mine!
You, Qiao Xiaren, are nothing but the mud beneath my feet, living a miserable life under my oppression. Only then might I consider sparing you. But who would've thought you'd be so restless; don't blame me if I decide to destroy you!
"Qiao Xiaren, if you don't hand this opportunity to me, I'll expose your misdeeds, leaving you utterly disgraced!"
Qiao Anchu spouted these words viciously, clearly aimed at provoking her. A strong sentiment of resentment burst forth from Qiao Xiaren's eyes. What a serious accusation.
In her previous life, she was found guilty of this crime and was exploited by Qiao Anchu, ruining her reputation in both Shanshui Town and the entertainment circle.
Qiao Xiaren couldn't understand why this woman had always seen her as a thorn in the side. In her last life, she didn't compete with Qiao Anchu for the opportunity to treat Si Zhilan, yet she still exaggerated her scandalous affairs, even bringing up past matters after entering show business and intentionally exposing them in front of the media, making her reputation worse and worse.
Qiao Xiaren didn't believe that if she gave away this opportunity, Qiao Anchu wouldn't expose her. She had already experienced the woman's wickedness in her past life.
"Sister, so your venomous side is finally showing?" Seeing the malice in Qiao Anchu's eyes along with her sly cunning, Xiaren sneered.
"Qiao Anchu, I want to live a different life this time around, so let me start with you. I'm curious to see who else was standing behind you in my past life, besides Si Limo."
Her acting career was indeed smooth sailing last time, frequently rubbing elbows with internationally acclaimed actors. Her earrings and pendants alone were worth millions. Such lavish spending was not something a typical benefactor would willingly spend on a woman.
It seemed that Qiao Anchu had quite a few secrets. Qiao Xiaren laughed lightly. The smile that curled up at the corner of her lips was as brilliant as a spring flower but soon turned incredibly dark.
She walked past Qiao Anchu, stretching herself in a lazy elegance, filled with satisfaction and charm, looking completely untouchable.
Xiaren quickly packed her things, efficiently without dawdling, her fair and delicate face exuding unparalleled self-confidence and composure.
The sunlight at this moment showered down on her, casting an enchanting dark halo around her, creating an exquisite sight to behold.
Shen Sichen and Ye Mohan happened to reach the door and took in the full view of the gorgeous scene before them. They were both stunned. They had never known Qiao Xiaren could be this beautiful, this dazzling.
Especially Ye Mohan, who suddenly felt his heartbeat thudding irregularly. Shen Sichen, on the other hand, was lost in a daze, staring blankly at Xiaren.
"Qiao Xiaren, freeze! Did I say you could leave? This opportunity was initially mine, and you craftily stole it away. Who knows what tricks you used to have the master favor you?"
Qiao Xiaren's blatant disregard infuriated Qiao Anchu. At the same time, she felt a chill creeping into her heart. How was this the same Qiao Xiaren she was used to? But it was definitely still her.
In a few steps, Qiao Anchu caught sight of Shen Sichen and Ye Mohan and her face contorted hideously.
"Brothers, is something the matter?" Xiaren caught Shen Sichen's shadow in the doorway, slinging her packed bag over her shoulder, ready to head out. Her lips held a faint smile, projecting confidence and composure, showing none of her former vulnerability.
Ye Mohan noticed that Qiao Xiaren's bag seemed to be filled with medical equipment. He couldn't believe it. Didn't Qiao Xiaren not know how to treat people?
The words he had intended to say suddenly got stuck in his throat.
"If there's nothing else, excuse me."
Shen Sichen was jolted back to reality by Qiao Xiaren's cool words. He stepped forward to block Xiaren's path. "Xiaren...I have something to discuss with you."
Qiao Xiaren didn't say a word, only gave him an inquiring look. There was a hint of impatience in her expression.
"Xiaren, why don't you let Chuchu take this opportunity to treat Miss Zhilan? You know nothing, not to mention exorcism. Chuchu is much more capable than you. Can't you just let her do it?"
Ye Mohan quickly joined in, "Exactly, since Chuchu wants to do it, just let her. Aren't you two good friends? You, being so kind-hearted, will surely agree, right? Besides, it should've been Chuchu's opportunity in the first place..."
Here, Ye Mohan's eyes glistened warmly, "Xiaren, what I like most about you is your innocence and kindheartedness."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaren finally couldn't help but laugh.
But that laughter held no warmth at all.
So, Shen Sichen and Ye Mohan were here to help Qiao Anchu negotiate. Seeing Qiao Anchu as she stood proud and confident, Xiaren felt completely nauseated. It was as though everything in the world rightfully belonged to Anchu.
