By the way, Qin Xian also handed over his phone.
“How can you deny it? It was you… you were the one who first liked me,” Su Ze suddenly exclaimed anxiously.
[There’s something fishy here, let me investigate…]
Qin Jiaxi had already felt something strange due to some of Su Ze’s statements before, but at the time, she didn’t say much. After all, it was over, and arguing about who fell in love first was meaningless. Throughout the whole ordeal, only she had foolishly fallen in love. Now, she also felt that it wasn’t worth pursuing, really not wanting to get entangled.
As a result, Su Ze’s parents finally couldn’t hold back and came forward, earnestly exhorting Qin Jiaxi.
“Jiaxi, we’ve always been in favor of you two. My son was just bewitched by that woman, Yu Xin, really.”
“Su Ze has seen through Yu Xin’s true colors and promised not to interact with her anymore, you can rest assured. Under any circumstances, that unscrupulous woman will never set foot in our home,”
As they were speaking, it suddenly became very quiet in one spot. Everyone’s gaze was drawn there, and sure enough, Third Aunt Qin had just arrived with Yu Xin.
Yu Xin’s face looked terrible at the moment.
And Third Aunt Qin was somewhat displeased. She wasn’t sure about the truth of Yu Xin and Su Ze’s situation, as Yu Xin had always kept them in the dark. Hearing the Su family speak so disparagingly of Yu Xin made her furious. Originally, she had even planned to marry Yu Xin to Su Ze.
Su Ze also saw Yu Xin and immediately became flustered, not daring to meet her gaze.
Yu Xin’s eyes flashed with resentment.
Others were also drawn over. When Qin Second’s family arrived, they were watching the drama in confusion. Fortunately, Ji Fei provided an explanation in the next moment.
[So that’s how it is. Indeed, people are capable of incredible shamelessness. It turns out that Su Ze and Yu Xin were already together in high school, but they were secretly separated by Su Ze’s parents. Back then, the two were truly sincere, even contemplating running away together.]
Qin Second’s family was stunned. Could it be true? They didn’t run away after all?
[However, by that time, the Su family had already planned for their son to pursue Qin Jiaxi. The two had met at various gatherings twice, according to Qin Jiaxi’s memories, they weren’t really acquainted, only knowing of each other’s existence. Yet, Su Ze, due to his parents constantly mentioning her, grew resentful. From ‘I don’t like her, I won’t be with her’ to ‘Even if she likes me, I only want Yu Xin,’ and finally to ‘Let Qin Jiaxi give up on this foolish hope, I will never love her.’ In this process, Qin Jiaxi was completely unfamiliar with him, not even meeting him, but he, relying on his extreme self-confidence and arrogance, defined her, believing she wanted to break up his relationship with Yu Xin to be with him, resorting to any underhanded means.]
Not only the others, even Qin Xian was astonished by Su Ze’s thought process.
Yet, it felt familiar, as if many scumbags were like this, believing their own delusions and one-sidedly tormenting women.
So, this was what Su Ze meant by “it was you who first fell in love”?
It seemed they had seen the truth.
[Huh? So, he thinks their runaway plan failed because of Jiaxi. That night, Su Ze and Yu Xin planned to escape, and they happened to encounter Qin Jiaxi. He believed it was because Qin Jiaxi informed his family, who came to capture him, aiming to get him through nefarious means. But in reality, Qin Jiaxi had no recollection of that night, merely passing by without a glance. It was their family’s housekeeper who noticed him running away, leading to the pursuit.]
Qin Second’s family was ready to curse upon hearing this.
So, it was this shameless guy, Su Ze, who assumed Qin Jiaxi liked him because of a chance encounter, deciding she was obstructing his path to love.
Everyone suddenly understood the drama at school. Back then, they wondered why Su Ze was so cruel, targeting an innocent girl for love. They couldn’t understand his deep resentment towards Qin Jiaxi.
Now they got it. He treated Qin Jiaxi as his enemy!
After meeting Yu Xin again in university, he used Qin Jiaxi while completing his revenge.
[So, at first, he didn’t know Yu Xin might become a foster child of the Qin family. He thought of genuinely marrying Qin Jiaxi and keeping Yu Xin on the side. Because he knew his family would oppose it to the end, he could never marry Yu Xin. Thus, he planned to marry Qin Jiaxi and torment her forever, as punishment for not being able to be with his true love.]
Ji Fei fell silent, feeling too drained to mock the disgusting, filthy thoughts of some people.
Qin Second’s family burst out laughing on the spot, infuriated.
“What are you doing?” Third Uncle Qin finally arrived. He hadn’t expected that, just a moment of inattention, and these flies were swarming around his daughter again. “I’ve said, don’t you dare come near my daughter again.”
“Uncle, I am sincere, I…” Su Ze tried to salvage the situation.
Su Ze’s parents also chimed in, while other Su family members attending the event hesitated to publicly disown their relative, deciding to see how the Qin family reacted first.
“I don’t care if you’re sincere or not. I won’t tolerate someone who has harmed my daughter from harassing her again. Leave now, or don’t blame me for being merciless,” Third Uncle Qin declared firmly, protecting his daughter.
Su Ze’s parents panicked and hurriedly pulled on Su Ze, indicating he should kneel.
Even if Su Ze was pragmatic, he couldn’t cross the line of his dignity. He stood there stiffly, stubbornly staring at Qin Jiaxi: “You’ve liked me for so long. I don’t believe you can just let go like that. Step back, give each other a chance, and you might actually have me.”
“Having you, this cheating, cold-hearted scumbag, is such a great thing?” Qin Zhao couldn’t help but shout in exasperation: “Our sister is so well-off, there’s plenty of choices. Why would she choose you? We don’t have a masochistic gene in our family.”
Su Ze clenched his teeth in anger, still staring at Qin Jiaxi, hoping she would obediently comply as she used to.
But there was no miracle this time.
“Having liked you is the biggest regret of my life, a stain on my past,” Qin Jiaxi declared directly.
Su Ze seemed to lose all strength, staring blankly at the girl who had once been so humble before him, now capable of insulting him.
Su Ze’s parents also looked terrible. Finally, at Third Uncle Qin’s prompting, they hurriedly pulled Su Ze away in disgrace, afraid of being thrown out by the housekeeper.
Just as they reached the front gate, Su Ze’s parents left him behind, slapping him hard twice.
“You still say you’ve always had control over Qin Jiaxi, that she’s desperate for you?”
“You idiot, even if you had taken her sooner and made her pregnant, she wouldn’t have left so easily! But you, for another woman, kept yourself pure? Are you sick!”
“Is this what you wanted? For the sake of ‘true love,’ you’re really my son, losing the opportunity for the family head’s position.”
“You’re going to ruin our family!”
After speaking, Su Ze’s parents left, deeply disappointed.
Su Ze, who had never experienced such prolonged disapproval and criticism, felt like he was going crazy.
Yes, why didn’t he take Qin Jiaxi to bed for Yu Xin’s sake back then? If he had slept with her, she would be his woman, definitely more obedient.
