Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Some People Are Born Evil

Lin Yu spoke up at this point, "Right, you can't sit there because that's where I'm going to sit." Stay tuned to M-V-LZhang Qiaoqiao frowned, "Weren't you sitting over there just fine?"

"Didn't you also just switch places while sitting just fine?" Lin Yu retorted.

Xie Xiao knew that Lin Yu, the champion of contrariness and pretending to be innocent.

So there was no way he would pamper Zhang Qiaoqiao at this moment.

The words Xie Xiao had been about to say took a turn, "Lin Yu, come over, let's sit and talk for a while."

Zhang Qiaoqiao probably also had a rather high opinion of herself, as she sat there, staring at Lin Yu without moving.

Luo Yanran stood up at this moment and pushed Xie Xiao towards Liu Ou, "Why doesn't Hai Ou switch with Lin Yu?"

Liu Ou glanced at Zhang Qiaoqiao and smiled, "Now I see why this side doesn't bring in good business."

The three college students opposite them were actually quite embarrassed, so they quietly played the role of background props.

Zhang Qiaoqiao, on the other hand, had her eyes redden. She was a rather self-centered girl and not that old either. Being so bluntly disrespected was somewhat hard for her to take.

She stood up.

Just at that moment, Aunt Liu came over with the dishes, "Sorry for the wait, I put quite a bit of thought into the meal today."

Her voice still carried a hint of laughter.

Zhang Qiaoqiao, however, glared fiercely at Aunt Liu, her voice laced with sarcasm, "What's the use of all that effort? They don't think much of your daughter, yet you're still trying to please the boss?"

Aunt Liu hadn't had time to react before Zhang Qiaoqiao bumped into her. Xie Xiao quickly reached out to steady her and the dishes, saying, "Careful."

Aunt Liu hurriedly set the dishes on the table and began to apologize to Liu Ou, "I'm so sorry, little Ou. Qiaoqiao is just a child..."

Liu Ou slightly furrowed her brow.

But she still said with a smile, "It's okay."

Aunt Liu looked worriedly and at last said, "Let me serve the dishes for you, I'll go check on..."

She had already gone to the kitchen to get more dishes.

After the dishes were served, her smile couldn't stay on her face, and she went upstairs with a worried look.

The three college students also finished their meal quickly and left.

It was rather awkward.

Now, only the four of them were left at the scene.

Lin Yu and Liu Ou were eating quite happily.

It was Luo Yanran who spoke first, "Is Zhang Qiaoqiao okay?"

"Okay? I reckon her mind isn't quite right," Xie Xiao casually replied, "She thinks she's on a TV drama, playing a rebellious young girl."

Lin Yu chimed in as well, "Spoiled by her family, I bet. She really thinks she's the female lead. She must've caused no small amount of trouble in school."

Liu Ou laughed lightly, "This temperament isn't just from being spoiled, she's been like this since childhood."

She took a sip of her soup and let out a breath.

Looking at Lin Yu, she said, "Didn't you ask me last night why I seemed to dislike Zhang Qiaoqiao so much? I really do dislike her. Some people have been nasty since they were kids."

Liu Ou's voice was very calm as she glanced upstairs.

"I had to deal with her for a while when I was a child."

Liu Ou often only had her mother at home when she was a child; strictly speaking, her mother was actually a distant relative of her father, which is why he had trusted her to take care of the child.

Liu Ou spent more time with her mother growing up than with her own parents.

She knew that her mother had a little girl at home because her mother often mentioned her.

Liu Ou met Zhang Qiaoqiao for the first time during the summer vacation of her third-grade year.

Because her dad was arrested, the child had no one to take care of her, so Liu's mom had no choice but to ask Liu's father to take the child for a few days,

At first, Liu's father was definitely dissatisfied, but he was the type to put on a front (Liu Ou's original words.)

Anyway, the child still came.

"She was quite cute as a child and pretty likeable," Liu Ou recalled, "When she first came, she was well-behaved, following me and calling me 'sister.' At that time, I was quite lonely and just wanted some company."

A child's affection is very pure, and Liu Ou was still too young at that time.

She thought her sister was wonderful, shared everything with her, and even naively asked her mom if her sister could stay for good.

Of course, she was refused.

"At first, Liu's mom was worried we wouldn't get along, but later, seeing that we got on quite well, she didn't supervise us much."

Liu Ou smiled.

She lifted her bangs and pointed to a scar near her hairline, "This here, she caused it."

Even now, Liu Ou felt that she had been pretty good to Zhang Qiaoqiao.

She shared everything, toys, little dresses, if she said she liked it or seemed to like it, I would still share it with her even if I also liked it a lot.

But she didn't know Zhang Qiaoqiao hated her.

One afternoon, Liu's mom prepared tea for them. She was a person with a strong sense of propriety,

Even though the child was brought over.

She generally didn't take advantage of her employers, so she wouldn't let her daughter have supplements and expensive treats bought for Liu Ou.

So that afternoon, Liu Ou had exquisite, pretty pastries, while Zhang Qiaoqiao had ones bought from a roadside stall.

The contrast was quite clear, actually.

Zhang Qiaoqiao made a fuss, wanting to eat the same kind of pastries as her sister.

Liu's mom explained to her that her sister's were prepared by uncles and aunts, while Qiaoqiao's were prepared by her mother.

At that moment, there was still something cooking in the kitchen, so after calming her down a few words, Liu's mom hurriedly went back to check on it.

"I could actually tell she liked them, and I was going to share with her because I didn't really like them much..."

Liu Ou tugged at the corner of her mouth.

But before she could share, Zhang Qiaoqiao suddenly pressed her head and without hesitation smashed it towards the corner of the table. Thankfully, Liu Ou's reflexes kicked in and she pushed the table away just in time.

"Otherwise, it probably wouldn't just be my forehead." Liu Ou touched the place where she had the scar, "She might have been trying to kill me."

After she said this, the three people present fell silent.

Lin Yu's brows were deeply furrowed.

Luo Yanran's face, unusually, showed distinct anger. She reached out and touched the spot where Liu Ou's scar was, "It's a good thing it wasn't serious."

A dry remark, but the unhappiness could be heard in it.

Liu Ou then smiled and said, "Later, her mom hung her up and beat her, and I also learned a lesson. People won't necessarily be grateful just because you're nice to them, they might even think you're patronizing them."

Xie Xiao let out a breath, "Such a temperament..."

Liu's aunt must have had a hard time.

Liu Ou exhaled, "I understand that Liu's mom has it tough, which is why I haven't directly fallen out with her, right? But there's no need to force myself to be nice to her, considering we're guests anyway." S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Liu Ou said as she stood up to clean the table, "Let's clear things up. Are we still going out this afternoon? I heard them say there's a rest camp halfway through the hike and the scenery there is pretty nice, the path is shaded by trees. Do you want to check it out?"

Xie Xiao and Luo Yanran exchanged glances, knowing she didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, and nodded in agreement.

However, Xie Xiao was somewhat worried about Luo Yanran's health, "Are you sure you can handle it?"

He spoke very softly.

But Luo Yanran was still a little embarrassed and tugged his hand, "I can!"
