Xian Guiying raised her hand. In her hand, there was a beautiful little box. The incense box belonged to Cui Liuxian.
"Honestly, I didn't know you had this box of incense at first, but you probably didn't know that when I get bored in America, I love learning about these fragrances. This kind of incense is from India? Who are you trying to fool? The effect of this oil won't be able to be detected quite clearly unless you use fire to burn it. Cui Liuxian, what kind of friend do you usually have? You've made someone buy this on your behalf on some foreign website, haven't you?"
After hearing what Xian Guiying said, Old Man Xian, who was quietly watching Cui Liuxian with a cold look, suddenly turned around and saw the small box in her hand.
Seeing the disappointment in the Old Man's eyes, Cui Liuxian's shoulder shook. She suddenly turned around and ran to the TV cabinet in Jiang Yijun's room. She took something out and held it in her hand, preparing to rush to the balcony.
"What did she take?" Jiang Yijun frowned and was about to get up, but being drunk, he sat back down right after getting up.
Zhan An suddenly called out to her. "Liuxian!"
Zhan An rushed to the balcony in a hurry. Before Cui Liuxian could throw it, she pulled her hand away and took the dense light blue incense that was half-burned from her hand.
Zhan An looked at Cui Liuxian's aggrieved expression with disbelief before turning her gaze to the Old Man who had already clearly seen the scene, "Dad, this ..."
"Here, let me see." The Old Man said indifferently.
Zhan An walked over and handed the remaining incense to him. Old Man Xian took it and looked at it carefully in his hand. He then looked back at Xian Guiying, who was standing in front of the door. "The marks on it, were they burned?"
Xian Guiying nodded her head. "It's a special kind of incense, something that the men and women in nightclubs use to create a certain atmosphere, but it does have some special effects."
"It's especially effective for people who have just drunk wine. This thing can't even be soaked in water, it can only be burned for longer than a candle. Just a small layer of paste can make a drunk person addicted to it and create illusions."
Old Man Xian took a deep breath and turned his gaze to Cui Liuxian, who was standing on the balcony and staring at the ground with a pale face. "Cui Liuxian! Didn't I warn you after you caused a mess that day? Do you really think that we will continue to be tolerant towards you? Do you really think grandpa will pamper you for the rest of your life?!"
Cui Liuxian raised her eyes and looked at the Old Man, who was leaning against the bed with a wronged expression on her face. Then she looked at Jiang Yijun, who was holding his forehead with one hand with a face full of impatience and a headache, and then she looked at Xian Zihao, who seemed to have completely disregarded her attitude. Suddenly, she started to cry, and as heavy rain began to fall outside, her tears also started to increase.
Cui Liuxian once cried in front of them, but she had never cried like this before. Jiang Ruolan watched the scene without saying a word.
If Jiang Ruolan hadn't been on alert about this before, the person who had jumped into the Yellow River with a ruined reputation was her. If she cried in pain here, who would believe her? Who will feel sorry for her? At the time, Cui Liuxian would probably gloat at her misfortune.
Jiang Ruolan didn't feel happy at all that Cui Liuxian's true appearance had been exposed. She only frowned and turned around, annoyed by the sound of her crying.
Xian Zihao noticed her action and patted her shoulder comfortingly, "Are you not feeling well? Let's go back to our room first?"
Regardless of whether Cui Liuxian stayed here after tonight or not, Jiang Ruolan didn't want anything to do with it. She was really tired of her. She was tired, and she didn't want to get into contact with her anymore. She nodded to Xian Zihao's words as she heard the sound of crying.
However, just as she was about to leave, Cui Liuxian's heartbreak voice suddenly came from inside the room, "Jiang Ruolan, are you satisfied now? Xian Guiying, are you all satisfied? Grandpa will finally kick me out of the Xian Family! I have never been a family to you! You never treat me like a family member! I just want to treat grandpa as my real grandfather, not the person who gave me the kindness just because of my grandfather! I just want to live in the Xian Family, not be so cautious towards everything and not be the kind of girl that grandpa likes since I was young. I also want to live like you, Guiying, who is so willful and confident! I just want grandpa to treat me like his granddaughter!"
Cui Liuxian wiped the tears from her face. "That's why I've worked so hard to make Zihao like me. I've waited and waited but in the end, he marries Jiang Ruolan! My dreams have been shattered! I don't want to be the good girl anymore. Grandpa already knows the imbalance in my heart! I don't have to pretend! I don't like Jiang Ruolan, that's why I want everyone in this family to hate her! But all of you are always standing by her side! Every time, no matter what I say, you won't believe me!"
"Now, Xian Guiying, are you happy? Are you satisfied, Jiang Ruolan? Your revenge is successful! Grandpa finally sees my real face! From top to bottom, the Xian Family treats you like a treasure, and since then, I, Cui Liuxian, have become a dog of the Xian Family! No, the dog still has a place to live, but I won't have a place to live in this family anymore. Jiang Ruolan, are you satisfied!"
Zhan An didn't say a word. Seeing Xian Guiying standing by the door with a cold expression and afraid her daughter would get angry, Zhan An quickly walked over to her and supported her, gently patting the back of her hand.
Jiang Ruolan, on the other hand, did not say a word. She just watched Cui Liuxian make a fool of herself, expressionlessly.
Now was the time for Cui Liuxian to put her life on the line to perform. If she did not cherish this last chance and perform perfectly in front of Old Man Xian, then she won't have the opportunity to stay in the Xian Family anymore.
Old Man Xian was silent. He put his hand on his cane and looked at Cui Liuxian with an indifferent look of pity.
"Why is the Xian Family still giving you shelter even now?" Before Jiang Ruolan could open her mouth to speak, Xian Zihao had already cut her. "Once tolerance is because you're one of us, twice tolerance is because of the feelings that grandpa had for you, and three times tolerance is because of the kindness your grandfather left behind. You reached this stage because you've never placed yourself in the right place and walked on the wrong path. You can't ever save yourself anymore."
Xian Zihao's tone was flat, but it was also clear that he told Cui Liuxian that she no longer had a chance.
"One of our own? Affection? Gratitude?" Cui Liuxian suddenly scoffed. "What did I do wrong? Jiang Ruolan stole my man, I hate her! But isn't she still alive and well? There is no lack of arms or legs on her body, and her baby is healthy! What have I done? Do you have proof?"
Then she pointed to Jiang Ruolan, "Also, there is a relationship between her and Yijun, to begin with. This is a problem! As the saying goes, if there is no wind, there can be no waves! Jiang Ruolan, do you dare say that you and Yijun are just siblings? Speak!"
