After Transmigrating as a Tycoon’s Wife, My Thoughts Are Heard by the Whole Family

Chapter 25

Silence. An eerie silence fell over the entire scene. One bombshell after another had left them all stunned.0

Canceling the engagement, leaving the Chu Family.0

This was the rhythm of abandoning everything!0

They had only ever heard of illegitimate children desperately trying to squeeze into their social circles, never of a young lady giving up her status to leave those circles.0

How much determination must it have taken to say such words?0

But looking at the Chu Family's actions, if Chu Xinyue didn't leave now, who knows how she would continue to be used.0

"You... you... you... rebellious girl!" Mr. Chu seemed at a loss for words to curse with.0

Mrs. Chu cried out, "Chu Xinyue, is this how you repay us for giving birth to you and raising you?"0

"You gave birth to me, but you didn't raise me. If I had a choice, I'd rather not have been born to you at all. Better that than being used as a tool, having my bones broken to feed Chu Xueqi."0

The Chu couple stared at Chu Xinyue, their eyes nearly popping out of their heads.0

"Sister, please stop this, okay? Even if you're angry, you shouldn't say such things. Aren't you afraid of breaking our parents' hearts?" Chu Xueqi suddenly rushed forward, grabbing Chu Xinyue's wrist tightly. The force was so great that Chu Xinyue frowned.0

"Sister, if you don't want to marry Wu Tian, then don't. You two can break up and that's that. There's really no need to make such a scene." Chu Xueqi stared at her intently, her face as pale as death, clinging to Chu Xinyue like a drowning person to a lifeline, her voice choked with sobs.0

"I was wrong before. I did indeed take your place for various reasons, so I don't blame you for wanting to push this matter onto me this time. I know you like Brother Zhao, and you don't want to cancel the engagement, so you want to get revenge on me. But it's okay, I don't mind. Let's go home, alright? We can talk about this at home."0

[Indeed, someone who can bully their own sister for so long must have a strong mentality. Even in this situation, she's still struggling desperately. Does she think Chu Xinyue will change her mind for her sake in the end? Chu Xinyue must have coddled them a lot in the past for them to have such a delusion.]0

"Chu Xueqi, are you incapable of understanding human speech?" Chu Xinyue spoke coldly, shaking off Chu Xueqi's grip. "I've already proven myself. What about you?"0

Chu Xueqi's face twisted almost beyond recognition, a flash of madness in her eyes. "As a daughter of the Chu Family, how could I provide such proof? Sister! Do you want to anger our parents to death? Or are you trying to humiliate me with this method? I'm pure and innocent, I don't even know him. If you keep pushing me, I'll kill myself right now!"0

With that, Chu Xueqi unexpectedly rushed towards the nearby buffet table, grabbing the scissors used for cutting crab shells. She held them to her own throat, crying and shouting, "Is dying to prove my innocence enough for you?"0

This scene frightened everyone.0

The Chu couple panicked, crying out for her to stop.0

"This is all your fault! Look what you've done! You're going to cause your sister's death!" Mrs. Chu beat Chu Xinyue.0

Mr. Chu also turned to vent his anger on Chu Xinyue, "Are you satisfied now? Is this the result you wanted? Apologize to your sister right now! You were the one with Wu Tian, why won't you admit it? Do you really want to watch your sister die?"0

Chu Xinyue stared blankly at Chu Xueqi, her expression indescribable, finally settling into something between laughter and tears.0

It was always like this. Even though she was the one who suffered harm and grievances, as long as Chu Xueqi cried and made a scene, everything could be swept under the rug. She would even be painted as the villain, as if she were the one in the wrong.0

Why did she have to endure all of this? Would she never be able to escape?0

In this moment, Chu Xinyue truly felt suffocated. So suffocated that she didn't want to say a single word.0

Everyone assumed she was also shocked by her sister's behavior.0

The crowd retreated in a commotion.0

The Qin Family's expressions were unpleasant. But in the next second, their expressions changed to shock.0

Before anyone could react, a figure flashed behind Chu Xueqi. A tray swung from left to right with a loud bang.0

Chu Xueqi's head was struck with such force that it left an afterimage. She staggered and fell, the scissors flying from her hand.0

Everyone gaped at the woman who had suddenly appeared.0

The Qin Family: When did Ji Fei go over there?0

Ji Fei put down the violently shaking tray. [Thankfully, I saw through her scheming thoughts in advance. She wanted to use suicide to shift the blame and morally blackmail Chu Xinyue at the same time. Dream on! It's rare for little sister to step out and live her own life, I won't let this selfish demon ruin it.]0

In this situation, if Chu Xueqi had hurt herself even slightly, Chu Xinyue would have been condemned for life, even if she was innocent in this matter. People outside would only spread rumors that she was overbearing and drove her sister to suicide.0

The Qin Family's expressions were grim. If something had happened at their family banquet, it would have been impossible to explain, even if they were in the right. Fortunately, there was Ji Fei.0

Qin Xian's face was dark. With a wave of his hand, the family's bodyguards rushed in. Before anyone could react, they restrained Chu Xueqi, who was still on the ground, dazed.0

"What are you doing!" The Chu couple panicked.0

Qin Xian spoke coldly, "Your daughter has suicidal tendencies and is mentally unstable. For her safety, we have the obligation to restrict her behavior until you leave the Qin residence, to prevent her from accidentally harming other guests."0

The others finally breathed a sigh of relief, praising Ji Fei's swift action and Qin Xian's decisive arrangement. They were only here to watch the drama unfold, not to experience a bloody incident.0

People really couldn't be judged by appearances. Chu Xueqi was clearly sick in the head.0

The Chu couple's faces couldn't have looked worse as they watched their daughter being treated like a mental patient.0

"We're all family, you..."0

"Chu Xinyue has already broken off the engagement with my brother. Our two families are not one family," Qin Xian deliberately didn't mention the matter between Chu Xueqi and Qin Zhao, which represented the Qin Family's stance.0

The Chu couple nearly lost their balance at this.0

They had desperately refused to acknowledge it earlier because they were afraid Chu Xueqi would be entangled with that good-for-nothing and lose Qin Zhao as a golden son-in-law.0

But now the situation seemed beyond salvaging.0

"Brother Zhao, Brother Zhao, save me!" Chu Xueqi, having regained her senses, struggled in pain and helplessness, crying out.0

But Qin Zhao didn't look at her. Instead, he was looking at Chu Xinyue standing to the side.0

Because Chu Xinyue was acting strangely. She was staring motionlessly at the scissors that had fallen near her feet, the atmosphere around her terrifyingly oppressive.0

Wu Tian rushed over and grabbed Chu Xueqi's chin. "Was it you who was with me?"0

"Let go of our daughter!" Mr. Chu rushed forward and pushed Wu Tian away, shouting angrily, "Wu Family, aren't you going to control your son?"0

"Heh, no matter how bad our Wu Tian might be, he wouldn't pretend to be someone else to deceive others, and then attempt suicide when exposed. So we don't need to control him. It's your Chu Family who needs to control your child, isn't it?"0

The Chu couple's faces instantly turned red.0

Wu Tian laughed, "I, Wu Tian, can't be played for a fool like this. You won't admit it? I have even more explosive photos here. I'll release them now. I don't believe that every inch of you twins is identical!"0

These words shocked everyone. They had even taken that kind of photos and were going to release them? How could anyone live with that afterwards?0

As Wu Tian was about to take out his phone, Chu Xueqi finally lost control and shouted, "You're lying, you never took any..."0

Meanwhile, Chu Xinyue showed no reaction at all. The contrast was stark.0

At this, everyone's burning gazes turned towards Chu Xueqi.0

Chu Xueqi realized what she had done, and all expression drained from her face.0

The Chu couple's faces were ashen.0

"That's right, I don't have any. I was bluffing you, Chu Xueqi. Now, let's see how you try to weasel out of this." Wu Tian grinned viciously, then turned to Chu Xinyue and said, "I'm sorry. I was also deceived by your lying sister before, which is why I gave you trouble. I apologize. But you can't blame me, who told you to look exactly alike."0

Chu Xinyue's lips trembled slightly, but she didn't respond. There was no joy at having her name cleared either.0

[Chu Xinyue... seems a bit depressed. She's been traumatized.]0

Qin Zhao was alarmed. Depressed? Had Chu Xinyue already been tormented to the point of illness by the Chu Family?0

"It wasn't me, it wasn't me!" Chu Xueqi began to shout and scream. "Brother Zhao, don't look at her, look at me! I've been wronged, I haven't betrayed you."0

"Mom, Dad, prove it for me! Prove that it was my sister, not me!"0

Even if the Chu couple were biased and protective, they knew at this point that the situation was beyond salvaging.0

But Chu Xueqi refused to accept this sudden turn of events.0

Her reputation was ruined, completely destroyed.0

She finally revealed her true colors, shouting at Chu Xinyue, "Chu Xinyue, hurry up and admit it was you! In the past, no matter what I took from you, didn't you always just meekly accept it?"0

Chu Xinyue looked at Chu Xueqi and said, "Why should I?"0

"Why? Because you owe me! It's because of you that I'm so weak and sickly. You don't know the pain of living in a hospital room since childhood, taking medicine, having surgeries, fighting death every day. It's all your fault! If I were healthy, I could have lived better than you. So everything I can't have should be suffered by you instead. You were born to be trampled under my feet, to sacrifice everything for me."0

With these words, everyone present fell silent.0

They looked at Chu Xinyue with sympathy and swept disapproving glances over Chu Xueqi.0

But ultimately, their gazes settled on Mr. and Mrs. Chu. When Mrs. Chu had mentioned it earlier, everyone thought it was just an excuse to persuade Chu Xinyue, to make her feel a bit guilty and back down.0

They never expected that even Chu Xueqi would have such an absurd notion.0

At this moment, they could almost imagine the parents unintentionally complaining at the bedside of their sick little girl, telling her that the reason for her suffering was because her twin sister had absorbed more nutrients.0

They had blamed their misfortunes on another innocent child, giving the sick one a target for her resentment.0

As the saying goes, when parents lack virtue, their children won't get along.0

At this point, Mr. and Mrs. Chu were looking at Chu Xueqi in shock.0

They felt that reality was one thing, but in their hearts, Chu Xueqi was pure and lovable. Even if she made childish mistakes, it was just due to her illness since childhood and different environment. They couldn't blame her.0

But Chu Xueqi's sudden outburst revealed her true face, exposing her evil heart, shattering Mr. and Mrs. Chu's illusions.0

"Huh, no wonder you always seemed to speak up for me in the past, but actually added fuel to the fire, or made up lies to ruin my reputation, framed me, and hurt me. So you hate me, you blame all your misfortunes on me," Chu Xinyue murmured.0

It wasn't just about competing for their parents' love; Chu Xueqi truly hated her, wanted to torment her, destroy her.0

She might not even love Qin Zhao at all, but only wanted to snatch away the person Chu Xinyue liked.0

The color drained from Chu Xueqi's face, and she trembled with fear, but still refused to back down.0

"It is your fault! You have the same face as me, that's heaven's will. Because you owe me, it's made easier for you to repay me this way!" Chu Xueqi said, staring at that identical face in a daze. "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it now, there will be more chances in the future. You can't escape me..."0

[Psycho!]0

Ji Fei's inner voice represented what everyone was thinking at that moment.0

They wondered how the Chu family had raised such a twisted person.0

But in the next second, they heard Chu Xinyue say in a trembling voice, "No, you won't impersonate me again."0

It seemed she had developed a trauma from being tormented like this.0

Chu Xinyue suddenly picked up the scissors from the ground and was about to slash her own face.0

Everyone cried out in alarm.0

A figure flashed quickly, reaching out to block the scissors.0

Everyone watched in shock as Qin Zhao saved Chu Xinyue. If not for him, Chu Xinyue would have at least a scar on her face from the scissors.0

It wasn't that Qin Zhao was particularly fast, but when Chu Xinyue made her move, Ji Fei saw the information and cried out, allowing Qin Zhao to act first.0

Chu Xinyue hadn't expected to be stopped. She stared blankly at Qin Zhao, noticing that his palm seemed to be bleeding where he had grabbed the scissors.0

Chu Xinyue said coldly, "Let go! I don't want to clean up her messes anymore. I don't want her to steal my things or take the blame for her anymore. I've had enough. I want to completely separate myself from her!"0
