Chapter 104 Miscalculation
At first she thought it was because she was sensitive, but gradually she got more and more strange looks, until one day someone scrawled on the desk and cursed her with words like "bitch" and "bitch". Only then did she feel that things were not that simple.
The person who was scribbling on her desk was quickly caught, and it was Lai Hongyu.
Back then, he looked like a little carrot, and his attitude was very arrogant even in front of the director. In the end, he was frightened by the director by saying "call the parents" before he told the reason.
It turns out that Lai Hongyu is a loyal fan of Qiao Siyao and has been paying attention to Qiao Siyao's developments since the adoption incident.
He said that Qiao Siyao did not live a happy life after being adopted. The family was always on guard against her. As an older sister, she often bullied Qiao Siyao, making her eat her own leftovers and wear her own clothes.
Qiao Ruoxing heard this in confusion, and she was sure that she had never done anything like that.
In order to persist, Lai Hongyu opened Qiao Siyao's Weibo.
[The cake sent by my sister is mango flavored. I hate mangoes the most. My sister seems to have forgotten it again, or she has never remembered it at all. 】
[It’s my birthday today. I hope next year I can be like my sister and cut a complete birthday cake by myself instead of the leftovers...]
[My sister gave me a skirt. It looks very nice. It would be nice if it was new. 】
[My sister’s friend asked me if I was an orphan. I didn’t know what to say. It would be great if I were my parents’ biological daughter...]
…
Qiao Ruoxing became more and more frightened, and the more she looked at it, the colder her heart became.
Anyone who reads these words will feel that she has been treated unfairly in this family, and her sister is the culprit.
It's true that she gave Qiao Siyao a cake, but she definitely didn't eat it. The uneven cake in the picture was because it rained that day. When she squeezed into the bus, the cake was touched by the crowd, so the cake looked incomplete.
She cut off the damaged part and ate it herself, leaving the intact part to Qiao Siyao.
Qiao Siyao never told her that she didn't like mango cake because she liked mangoes. When she asked Qiao Siyao what she liked, Qiao Siyao said that she also liked mangoes, so she ordered mango cake for her on her birthday!
As for that skirt, when she and He Yurou were shopping, she specifically noted down Qiao Siyao's size and asked He Yurou to buy it.
Because the price was relatively expensive and she was afraid that Qiao Siyao would have a psychological burden, she said that her size was not suitable and the return period had passed, so she could only wear it for her.
The tag has not been removed, how could it be worn?
That day, she learned about Qiao Siyao. What she thought in her heart was completely different from what she showed.
She can be affectionate with your sister and stab you in the back at the same time.
Qiao Siyao's affairs attracted much attention in Jiangcheng at that time. She was cute and had a gentle personality. Many classmates in the school were her fans.
Therefore, the little essays she posted on Weibo about "compromising herself" immediately aroused everyone's heartache and indignation.
Compared with Qiao Siyao, she came from a privileged background. She had everything she wanted since she was a child. She had excellent grades and outstanding appearance. She was also loved by her classmates and teachers at school.
But she still bullies Qiao Siyao, who has nothing. How can she make others not hate her?
Qiao Ruoxing was shocked and angry. When she got home, she grabbed Qiao Siyao and asked her why she slandered her so much on Weibo.
Qiao Siyao naturally refused to admit it, crying and saying that she only posted those things to remember her sister's kindness to her, and had no other meaning.
Qiao Xusheng thought that Qiao Ruoxing was making a fuss. In his opinion, there was nothing wrong with those remarks. He even scolded Qiao Ruoxing that even if she gave her sister a gift, she had to give her a new one. She didn't blame others for criticizing her for giving her what she didn't want.
He Yurou had some doubts, but because of Qiao Xusheng's protection, she didn't say anything in the end. She just took Qiao Siyao to buy a lot of clothes in the next few days and moved her room to the one next to Qiao Ruoxing's.
She got what she called "fair treatment", and Qiao Ruoxing saw who she was.
The relationship between her and Qiao Xusheng had collapsed over the years, and she could not do without the encouragement of this "good sister".
She is best at using her own background and weakness to win everyone's sympathy and achieve her own goals.
When my thoughts returned to the present, the comments echoed those of those people back then.
"I didn't expect she was this kind of person."
"Otherwise why Jingyang hates her so much, it's all for a reason."
"With such a sister, it is not easy for Qiao Siyao to grow up in their family and grow up so well."
"I heard that it was Qiao Siyao who was originally going to marry Mr. Gu. But on the day of the blind date, Qiao Siyao suddenly fell ill. Mr. Qiao had no choice but to let his eldest daughter stand up to her. She used her charming face to seduce Mr. Gu."
"Really? Isn't it weird that someone was replaced because of illness during the blind date?"
Lai Hongyu glanced at Qiao Ruoxing, raised his lips and said, "Maybe someone tampered with it?"
One sentence pushed Qiao Ruoxing to the forefront. She was already hated by others for being able to marry Gu Jingyan. Plus, Gu Jingyang didn't like her. Most of the young ladies in the circle were colluding. Now that her tail was turned out, everyone would naturally fight to step on her. One kick.
They didn't care at all what the truth was back then.
Qiao Siyao looked at Qiao Ruoxing's tense face, feeling secretly proud in her heart, but she said, "It's okay. My sister and brother-in-law are in love. Besides, that's all in the past. When we were young, everyone was not sensible. How can the Qiao family I'm so grateful for the adoption."
This seems to be a defense for Qiao Ruoxing, but every word is full of scheming.
Because she is an adopted daughter, she is grateful even if she is treated unfairly, and dare not covet anything else.
Doesn't this confirm the fact that Qiao Ruoxing excluded her?
Qiao Ruoxing looked at the faces of these people calmly. After many years, she is no longer as impulsive and irritable as she was back then.
She curled her lips and smiled, turned her head and asked Qiao Xusheng, "Dad, Siyao is 22 this year, right?"
Qiao Xusheng didn't react to this topic for a while, and paused before saying, "In a few months, she will be 23."
"Twenty-two, when I got married three years ago, Siyao was just an adult, and she didn't even reach the legal age for marriage. I really don't know how these rumors came about. There are really brainless people who believe them."
In one sentence, he scolded a circle of people. Those who were just indignant just now were all pale at this moment.
This statement was naturally leaked by Qiao Siyao "accidentally" through her friends around her.
Qiao Siyao knew that in fact, people didn't care about the truth of the rumors at all. What they cared about was the feeling of being trampled under her feet.
The more they belittled Qiao Ruoxing, the more they could achieve a certain psychological balance.
These people had done this before. Qiao Ruoxing was excluded in public more than once or twice. She never dared to talk back. Just like Gu Jingyang said, she finally married into the Gu family. She was afraid of losing her status if she made a mistake, so she could only keep her tail between her legs.
Based on her understanding of Qiao Ruoxing, Qiao Ruoxing would either endure it as Gu Jingyang said, or make a big fuss to fight back like before. No matter which situation it was, she was confident that she could deal with it and make Qiao Ruoxing's reputation collapse.
But the current situation was something she didn't expect.
