After the True Heiress Travels Back-Chapter 850: Why Must It Be Him?
Chapter 850: Chapter 850: Why Must It Be Him?
"Brother Jinbei, do you know why I must have you?"
Quan Feifei asked this question, awaiting Quan Jinbei’s reaction.
She thought about how she should respond to create a romantic atmosphere.
Unexpectedly, Quan Jinbei did not cooperate with her plan.
He didn’t even add any superfluous content, directly saying, "Because you’re both stupid and malicious."
At that moment, Quan Feifei heard the sound of her heart shattering.
She could hardly believe that Quan Jinbei would treat her this way.
Calling her stupid and malicious?
How could this be!
Looking at Quan Feifei’s incredulous expression, Quan Jinbei’s face remained unmoved.
What he said was exactly what he thought.
His true feelings, unfiltered.
Quan Feifei likes him?
Perhaps.
But more so, wasn’t it because of what he possessed?
Like his face, his social status, his immense wealth...
Though these things were part of him, and others liking these parts meant they liked him as well.
But, Quan Jinbei didn’t need that kind of affection.
He wasn’t interested in it at all.
What he wanted was simple.
He wanted Quan Feifei to leave the way she came.
"..."
Quan Feifei carefully considered her words and finally reorganized her thoughts.
She gazed affectionately at Quan Jinbei, "Quan Jinbei, listen to me! I like you! I, Quan Feifei, fell in love with you at first sight—"
"Love at first sight?" Quan Jinbei interrupted her before she could finish, "If I remember correctly, the first time we met was at my grandfather’s funeral."
He stopped here, but the implication was clear.
Back then, at the funeral, Quan Feifei was still Mr. Pang’s mistress.
As someone else’s mistress, claiming to have fallen in love with him at first sight?
Heh.
How laughable.
Quan Feifei clearly understood his meaning; at that moment, she suddenly felt disillusioned.
It seemed Quan Jinbei wasn’t as perfect as she had imagined.
She wanted a man who would always tolerate her no matter what happened.
Not someone who would hold onto her past and use it against her!
Quan Feifei thought Quan Jinbei was unworthy of her affection, but she never considered that Quan Jinbei had already given her some face.
A normal person wouldn’t think of pursuing a married man.
Even if they did have feelings, they wouldn’t shamelessly and without morals pursue it.
True love should be beautiful and sacred.
Not something that hides one’s ugliness under the guise of love.
Quan Feifei’s behavior, calling it love at first sight for Quan Jinbei...
Everyone knew what the truth was.
Not to mention, she even wanted to join this family.
Seriously?
Her actions were no different from Princess Xinyue, who was scorned and mocked by everyone.
—I’m here to join this family, not destroy it.
To live happily ever after with the family from now on?
What a joke.
Since Quan Feifei had shamelessly made her choice, she could not blame others for attacking her.
Shi Yaoguang was not a pushover either.
The reason she hadn’t spoken up before was to see how shameless Quan Feifei could get.
Now that she had witnessed it all, she finally spoke, "Miss Feifei, you say you like Quan Jinbei and fell in love with him at first sight. So, I want to ask, how did you fall in love with him at first sight?"
"I..." Quan Feifei was at a loss for words. Clearly, love at first sight was not a very good reason.
After all, the first time she saw Quan Jinbei up close was indeed at Old Master Quan’s funeral.
At that time, she was just a lowly mistress.
How could she have dared to hope for someone as unattainable as Quan Jinbei?
But later, when she confirmed she wasn’t an orphan but a young lady of the Quan Family, her ambitions began to grow.
Why could Shi Yaoguang do it, but she couldn’t?
To be honest, the Shi Family, where Shi Yaoguang came from, wasn’t even as rich as her father’s Quan Family.
Besides, although the process was different, Shi Yaoguang and her experiences were quite comparable.
Both were taken in halfway, so who was nobler than whom?
Quan Feifei had thought about this more than once.
So, whenever she compared herself with Shi Yaoguang, she never felt inferior.
Over time, she naturally thought there was nothing wrong with trying to take a man from a woman less worthy than herself.
Questioned by Shi Yaoguang, Quan Feifei was momentarily stuck but quickly thought of a new excuse.
"When I say love at first sight, I don’t mean I fell in love with him the first time I saw him."
As Quan Feifei spoke, a layer of mist formed in her eyes, giving her an appearance of pitiful beauty.
Unfortunately, the three people present weren’t buying it.
Just waiting to see what she would say next.
Quan Feifei lowered her eyes, hiding her emotions, then looked up with shining eyes.
"I know you don’t believe what I’m saying, but I can swear it’s all true. If you don’t believe me, I can swear!"
Chen Shu urged her, "Cut the crap, just tell us how your love-at-first-sight is any different."
Quan Feifei ignored him and continued her emotional performance, "It was Brother Jinbei who helped me escape my miserable life! It was on that day I truly fell in love with him."
Although Chen Shu knew about Quan Feifei’s past, he didn’t know the specifics.
He immediately turned to Shi Yaoguang, "Sister-in-law, what’s going on?"
Shi Yaoguang cleared her throat and explained what had happened, "At that time, Uncle Quan came to find Jinbei, saying he had found his long-lost daughter, and then..."
After listening to the whole story, Chen Shu couldn’t help but blurt out the truth, "So, it was actually you, sister-in-law, who helped Quan Feifei escape from misery, right?"
Then he looked at Quan Feifei and advised, "Even if you want to repay a favor, you should at least know who you’re repaying. Look at you; after all this time, you don’t even know who helped you."
"Before, I doubted you lacked moral integrity, now I think not only do you lack morals, but you’re also blind."
Quan Feifei: "..."
She looked at Shi Yaoguang in disbelief and questioned, "You were lying to me just now, weren’t you?"
Shi Yaoguang retorted, "What good would it do me to lie to you?"
Quan Feifei shook her head in a daze, "Impossible! Clearly, the person who saved me was Brother Jinbei..."
Shi Yaoguang smiled, "If you insist on deceiving yourself, go ahead."
She was still very tolerant.
"However... I advise you to do less of trying to steal other people’s husbands."
"After all, not every wife is as broad-minded as I am."
Hearing this, Quan Feifei was a bit startled, "I want to marry Brother Jinbei, and you don’t blame me?"
Shi Yaoguang looked at her with a half-smile, "Why would I blame you?"
Chen Shu chimed in, "Yeah, why would sister-in-law blame you?"
"Even though you’re shameless and ungrateful, a true backstabber, but..."
Chen Shu dragged out the tone, "But don’t forget, my Brother Jinbei is not someone just anyone can have. No matter how hard you try, he will never be yours. Since you can’t snatch him, why would sister-in-law blame you?"
"At most, we’ll just think of you as a joke."
After he finished, Shi Yaoguang echoed, "Thank you, Miss Feifei, for providing a free show. I am grateful and naturally won’t blame you."
Chen Shu laughed, "Sister-in-law, there’s no need to be so polite to someone like her. You should tell her directly, so she knows exactly who she is."
