Chapter 5 part 3

This chapter is for Blumencha. Thank you so much for supporting me in Kofi.

“Mind your own business.”

She pulled the curtains up, but instantly glanced down at her phone.

In the chat window, there were a few messages from Qing Ning.

[Let’s chat on Secret Love, an app developed by our company. I am a programmer and also an administrator. We can do anything in there…]

[Is that okay?]

[I want to send you some movies… *shy.jpg*]

The other person messaged, “Shall we watch together every week from now on?”

“Sure.”

She curled her lips, blaming herself for having a twisted mind. How could Qing Ning, who was so pure, be compared to Yan Shiqing?

…

Outside the door, Madam Shen knocked and called her, “Qiaoqiao, stop bouncing around in your room. Come down quickly. We’re having a family meeting.”

Shen Qiaoyu took her phone and went downstairs.

As soon as she reached the bottom of the stairs, she encountered her brother, Shen Yuchuan, who had a resentful expression on his face.

Shen Yuchuan looked at their mother speechlessly and said, “I’ve told you, Shiqing likes girls. Can’t you stop pressuring me? Why can’t my sister enter into an arranged marriage?!”

Shen Qiaoyu: “……” He’s really my brother.

Madam Shen rolled up her sleeves and wanted to knock him on the head: “Don’t you know your sister’s temper? When they are together, all they do is to quarrel!”

“Anyway, I won’t marry into their family.” Shen Yuchuan refused to comply.

Master Shen, who was sitting on the sofa watching a melodrama and crying, also persuaded: “Shiqing doesn’t like our children, forcing them is not the right thing to do, let’s think of other ways, if it doesn’t work, we’ll file for bankruptcy, at worst we’ll pay off our debts together!”

Madam Shen also sat down and began to sigh: “Shiqing was so pitiful when she was a child, and then she changed her personality when she was found back, stealing things, skipping classes, fighting, I really love her~”

“What does your love for her have to do with me marrying into their family.” Shen Yuchuan was unconvinced.

Madam Shen: “…”

Shen Qiaoyu sat down and remembered her childhood.

Yan Shiqing was abducted by human traffickers when she was three years old. They thought they would never find her again, but when she was nine years old, Madam and Master Yan found her back. They said she was under a bridge, her legs were broken, and she was begging.

After they found her, Yan’s family spoiled her in every way. After a while, they let her go to school in a wheelchair.

It was also then that she and Yan Shiqing became good friends who could talk about anything. She even pushed her wheelchair every day and took her to rehab together. She helped her walk until she could walk normally.

But in her teens, she couldn’t remember which year it was, Madam Yan took Yan Shiqing to the principal’s office to admit her mistake and said she stole things.

She ran over and saw the so-called stolen things in Madam Yan’s hands, but a few pieces of rubber, brand-name pens, bracelets, hair rings…

She immediately spoke up for Yan Shiqing, “Those are all mine. I said I didn’t need them and she took them away. It’s not stealing!”

Madam Yan’s voice was gentle and sincere as she pushed Yan Shiqing and said, “Speak, child. Mom won’t blame you, your classmates won’t blame you either. It’s just that you haven’t changed your habits outside. Now that you’ve confessed, you won’t make the same mistake again next time…”

All eyes were on Yan Shiqing, including her own. She didn’t want to believe it.

Yan Shiqing lowered her head in silence for a while, then finally raised it. She took out two towels from her backpack, along with a sports jacket that she didn’t take out. But she saw it.

The jacket was for her physical education class, and the towels were for wiping away sweat.

She couldn’t believe it, but Yan Shiqing admitted, “I stole them.”

Yan Shiqing’s face turned pale, and she turned to her and repeated, “I’m sorry, I stole them…”

Shen Qiaoyu didn’t look into her tearful tea-colored eyes, but she was filled with anger.

Because all her trust was shattered.

Why didn’t she tell her what she wants? Would she not give it to her?

It’s not just about the two towels, it’s about her trust in her and the fracture of their friendship.

She ran out, not wanting to have any connection with her anymore, nor wanting to be friends with her.

Everyone in their family is sick, especially her mother, who is a control freak. Ever since Yan Shiqing went missing, she completely lost her mind.

It’s not that she isn’t pitiful, but she shouldn’t have harmed others. When her child went missing, she once deliberately brought Shen Qiaoyu to a park, almost causing trouble.

Madam Shen took pity on her and forgave her.

But Shen Qiaoyu couldn’t forget the fear of being abandoned in a strange place.

Now, this seemingly normal mother only brought her to school because Yan Shiqing stole two towels. She made her admit her mistake in front of everyone, whether it was for her own good or not, nobody knows.

However, Shen Qiaoyu didn’t understand. She could never forget the fear of being abandoned in an unfamiliar place.

…

In short, she doesn’t want anything to do with her family for the rest of her life.

Shen Qiaoyu regained her composure and said lightly, “I have a girlfriend.”

“What?!” Everyone in the family was shocked.

Shen Yuchuan added, “Well, that’s perfect. You also like girls, Shiqing is great, you two are a perfect match~”

“Look at the nonsense you’re saying,” Madam Shen was furious.

Unlike Shen Qiaoyu’s mother, all she did was take off her slipper and immediately rushed towards him with it in her hand.

“Oh my god!!!” Shen Yuchuan quickly ran away, shouting, “Shen Qiaoyu, can you act like a girl? I was just kidding!”

“Even kidding is not allowed! My partner and I are the perfect match!” Shen Qiaoyu chased after her, running around the living room.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang, and Shen Yuchuan quickly ran to the door.

Shen Qiaoyu angrily threw her slipper towards him.

Shen Yuchuan opened the door and dodged again.
