Chapter 1248 - 833: The Only Reasonable, Clear-minded Member of the Pu Family (Part 4)

"Pu Yang, if you came here today just to mock me, you can leave!"

"..."

"I know you’re competitive. Since we were kids, you’ve liked to compete with me, but you never managed to surpass me. Now look... I’m blind, you’re pleased, you no longer have to worry about being compared to your sister saying Pu Yang can’t match her no matter how hard she tries—"

"Slap!"

Pu Yang raised her hand and a crisp slap echoed in the room, making everyone’s ears sting.

Pu Wei only felt half of her face burning with pain. She covered her face, her sightless eyes widened in shock.

She never expected to be slapped so hard by her own younger sister.

"Pu Wei, if you keep being this stubborn, no one will help you! I won’t help you, Mom and Dad won’t help you either!"

After saying that, Pu Yang headed straight for the door, opened it angrily, and slammed it shut.

Pu Yang and Pu Wei still looked quite similar; Pu Yang was maybe a bit thinner, making her features appear more delicate. At this moment, her delicate face was flushed with anger, barely hiding her disappointment and frustration.

She took a deep breath and then exhaled, suddenly noticing Su Xiaomeng standing at the door, looking at her with an exceptionally calm expression...

Pu Yang met Su Xiaomeng’s gaze and, for a moment, didn’t know what to say. It seemed everything she could say would be wrong and awkward.

It was Xiao Meng who spoke first,

"I’ve been standing here for a while."

"..." Pu Yang’s slightly parted lips showed clear displeasure on her flushed angry face.

"If I said I didn’t mean to eavesdrop, you certainly wouldn’t believe me, and it would also sound too insincere," Su Xiaomeng directly addressed the source of Pu Yang’s annoyance, "I don’t have a good impression of your Pu Family, especially after your sister framed my husband with self-harm. To be honest, I’m not afraid of smart people, but I am really afraid of those without a brain."

"..."

"Clearly, despite being a professor at Beijing University, your sister seems brainless to me. I wanted to hear what you two sisters had to say, and whether it related to this matter."

Pu Yang’s brow slightly furrowed, "Eavesdropping is eavesdropping; there’s no need for so many excuses. Since you’ve heard it, I have nothing more to say. My sister indeed used an extremely radical method to take revenge on Yin Shixiu."

"It’s best for us if your family admits it."

Su Xiaomeng chuckled slightly.

Pu Yang glanced at Su Xiaomeng, pondering for a long time before saying, "In the past, my sister and Yin Shixiu were also good together, but she wasn’t the lucky one; you were. That’s why you became Mrs. Yin."

"Pu Yang, men and women become a couple because of mutual interests, mutual attraction, and mutual admiration, not because one is lucky enough to be chosen by the other."

Su Xiaomeng smiled, her playful short hair tucked behind her ear.

Pu Yang looked about the same age as herself, but perhaps she was more knowledgeable.

"Let’s talk elsewhere."

"..." Pu Yang glanced back at the hospital room and, without a word, started walking forward, with Xiao Meng following behind her.

The two walked to a relatively empty corridor. They sat side by side on a long bench.

"I understand your feelings well. With such a sister, you can only feel both sympathy for her misfortune and anger for her lack of progress. You know her actions are foolish, yet you can’t stop her. Now, her self-inflicted wrongs have caused her own blindness. There might be a chance for recovery, but... it’s also possible she’ll remain blind forever. She is your sister, and you can’t help but feel hurt and distressed..."

Pu Yang clasped her hands tightly, pressing her lips together.

"Perhaps I’ve never been abandoned by a lover in my life, so it’s hard for me to understand your sister’s jealousy and rage, or her loss of reason. But she did plagiarize my paper, your parents did try to cover for her, and she did use self-harm to trap my husband in public opinion..."

"You’re thinking of holding her accountable... aren’t you?"

"Pu Yang, why shouldn’t I hold her accountable?"

Su Xiaomeng tilted her head, questioning her.

"You have no reason not to hold her accountable. Your and your husband’s peaceful life has been disrupted due to my sister’s jealousy and hatred."

"Right, I indeed have no reason not to pursue it. But now I have a reason."
