Chapter 11

This was the same smiling face that blinded Jian Jianan in her past life. Even though she hated his guts, he was still the man she loved for the last three years of her life.

In those three years, her feelings were sincere. Her feelings now were also true - the hatred as well…

She took a small step back to distance herself from Xiao Yihan, “You said it yourself. You can’t take it back!”

“I’m a man of my word!”

Jian Jianan giggled internally and thought, ‘A man? Is he worthy being called one? He is nothing more than a pile of stinking, disgusting, filthy dog sh*t.’

“Okay, wait here. I’ll head up to change!”

Seeing Jian Jianan limp her way into the house, Xiao Yihan touched her arm. There was worry in his expression. “Nannan, what happened to your leg?”

Jian Jianan sneered inside her thoughts, ‘A little late to notice my leg is hurt, don’t you think? Is he trying to win me over with this insignificant little trick?’

“It’s nothing! I just sprained my leg. It was an accident.”

“You have a sprain? It’s not nothing. No, I’m taking you to the hospital!”

Xiao Yihan had already readied himself to carry Jian Jianan, but he was pushed away. In a tone cold and harsh, she said, “I said ‘I’m fine’.”

The smile faded from Xiao Yihan’s face as he watched the shadow of Jian Jianan’s back pass through the door, the way she left leaving him cold.

Jian Jianan caught Qi Xiaorou walking out of her room when she reached the second floor.

Qi Xiaorou’s expression was far from pleasant. Jian Jianan knew why, but she did not want to expose her.

“Sister, have you had dinner?”

“Not yet, I’m going to eat seafood with Yihan in a moment. What about you? Have you eaten yet? Do you want to come with us?”

Qi Xiaorou clenched her fist and her face darkened. Inside, her heart was twisted in suffering since she and Xiao Yihan were truly in love with each other. But, in order to take over Jian Group, she had to endure watching the man that she loves be with the woman she despised the most!

Qi Xiaorou mustered up all her anger and frustration and buried them, trying her very best to squeeze out a smile, “I think I’ll pass. I don’t want to be a third-wheel on your date with Brother Xiao!”

Jian Jianan stared at Qi Xiaorou’s forced smile with indifference. She was a little impressed by Qi Xiaorou’s endurance!

These five years, Qi Xiaorou had to endure seeing the man that she loved be affectionate with another woman. She did that so Xiao Yihan could take control of Jian Group. Ha… what a massive sacrifice she was making!

“Third-wheeling? Nonsense! You’re my sister! Also, father is not coming home for dinner, Xiaobei went to grandma’s place, and Aunty Qi is not back yet. You’ll be bored, staying here home alone. Why don’t you come with us!”

“But…”

Before Qi Xiaorou could speak, Jian Jianan interrupted her, “Enough, go put on something nice!”

Jian Jianan left Qi Xiaorou no opportunity to speak further as she walked straight into her own room.

Qi Xiaorou frowned and thought to herself, ‘What is Jian Jianan trying to do?’

Ever since Jian Jianan awoke after her suicide attempt, it was like she was a totally different person. She was friendly towards her one moment, and the next minute she was quite distant. Sometimes, when she locked eyes with Jian Jianan’s peach blossom eyes, she could sense the hatred in them. However, whenever she tried to dig deeper, the trail disappeared.

One thing of note was that Jian Jianan used to dislike the idea of having someone intruding on her dates with Brother Xiao. What had gotten into her today? She even invited her to come dine with them!
