Chapter 42

42 How Thick-Skinned

“Don’t say that. That’s my sister,” she said hurriedly. “She’s innocent.”

Li Li looked at Han Xueqian in surprise. She had stood up for her, but now she was being blamed?

Han Xueqian couldn’t help it. She could only make up to those two idiots later. Han Binglan was more important now. She hurriedly smiled and said, “I didn’t mean that. They don’t know the situation either. Binglan, don’t be angry...”

“Han Xueqian, I told you last time that you have to have the self-awareness of living under someone else’s roof. Why did you have to come here? Do you think I’m easy to bully? Don’t forget, I’m the legitimate eldest daughter of the Han family. The Shengli Corporation was established with my mother’s dowry. After the corporation went public, my father gave my mother 40% of the company’s shares in order to thank her.” Le Yao looked at Han Xueqian and smiled slightly. Then, she looked at Li Li and Chu Ying. “She doesn’t even know who her own father is. What right does she have to come over and criticize me? The money she used to bribe you guys is partially mine.”

Han Xueqian’s tears really started to fall. “Binglan, I really don’t mean anything else. It’s just that Dad already knows that you moved out of Zeyu Garden. He even nagged you many times. Just go home and take a look. Please...”

She really portrayed the image of a considerate daughter vividly.

“You Dad so affectionately.” Le Yao smiled. “But if he really misses me, won’t he call me? Would you have to deliver the message?” Han Guosheng would nag at her? Don’t be ridiculous. He looked down on Nangong Jue, an illegitimate son. How could he look up to a daughter who was married to an illegitimate son?

Li Li’s expression was ugly. Yes, didn’t she have a phone? Why would he insist on a stepdaughter coming over to deliver the message? She glared at Han Xueqian and then pulled Chu Ying away.

“Han Xueqian, why aren’t you chasing after them? Your two lackeys are angry. You won’t be able to keep your plastic friendship.” Qiao Qiao reminded her gloatingly.

Han Xueqian’s expression stiffened. “Miss Qiao, I didn’t offend you. Why are you targeting me like this?”

“Han Xueqian, there are no outsiders anymore. Stop pretending. I just can’t stand you. What should we do? Bite me?”

Han Xueqian’s expression turned sinister. If she could, she really wanted to bite her to death. Unfortunately, she couldn’t. Then, she looked at Han Binglan and her expression faded. “It’s Dad’s birthday in two days. Let’s go home and have a meal together. Dad will definitely be happy.”

Le Yao was speechless.

Back then, the book did not mention that there were so many people celebrating their birthdays at this time. Why was it that even if they could not die on the same day, they were all rushing to be born in the same month?

“You’re so thick-skinned.” Qiao Qiao couldn’t help but sigh. The girl had managed to stay here despite the harsh words. She was really impressive.

“We’ll see.” Le Yao pulled Qiao Qiao away.

Looking at Le Yao’s back, Han Xueqian’s expression was ferocious. She was really jealous. She was the eldest daughter of Han Guosheng and the legitimate eldest daughter of the Han family, but because of Han Binglan, she had to carry the reputation of an illegitimate daughter.

Han Binglan was clearly so bad at studying and had a bad character, but why was she so lucky? She had Miss Qiao as a friend and could marry Nangong Jue...

Why?
