My Fortune-Blessed Leading Lady-Chapter 392: Mean Spirited

In the small garden, after Xia Ruyan heard Xia Ji’s words, her eyes widened with a trace of incredulity.

"Xia Ji, you’re too arrogant."

Xia Ji raised an eyebrow, the naivety in her eyes suffused with a shallow mockery. She pointed at her own nose, "I, Xia Ji, am the treasured pearl of the Xia Family. Whatever I do is right. No matter what I do, my brother and grandfather will think it’s only natural and that I can bear the consequences;

Do you know why? Because my parents have the right background, whereas you – who knows where you came from pretending to be the Xia Family’s young lady?

You’ve annoyed the Bo Family outside, what are you relying on? Don’t you have any clue in your heart?

Or do you think that having you as a drag, exacerbating our Xia Family’s problems, isn’t bad for you if there’s any loss? After all;

The Xia Family’s misfortune doesn’t mean any loss for you. You must have made quite a bit of money over the years, right?"

Xia Ruyan’s face contorted, "I don’t know what you’re talking about."

Xia Ji, "How could you not know? Are you not clear about what you’re planning deep down?

But, you did miscalculate this matter; the relationship between the Xia Family and the Bo Family isn’t something a bastard child like you can ruin;

After all, you have no say in the Xia Family. Even if you find a loophole and make the people of the Bo Family disgusted;

But..." Xia Ji suddenly moved closer to Xia Ruyan, staring at her face with its delicate makeup, "don’t forget, my older brother knows several brothers from the Bo Family.

If my brother makes a phone call to them, saying that although you’re a member of the Xia Family, you’re not someone we necessarily protect, guess how the Bo Family will deal with you?"

Xia Ruyan thought of the possibility Xia Ji mentioned, the flowers and applause surrounding her, and all sorts of envy, as well as the spotlight.

Her face turned pale in an instant.

She looked at Xia Ji through gritted teeth, "You’re threatening me."

Xia Ji nodded, "That’s right, and since we don’t know what tragic end you’ll meet, I naturally wouldn’t dare to speak carelessly.

I’m here waiting for you today just to give you a word of advice."

Xia Ruyan: "..."

Xia Ji, "Don’t look disinterested, I think this topic is a forewarning for you, you might even thank me later."

Xia Ruyan was tense and on guard, "I’m not familiar with you, I don’t need you to tell me anything."

Xia Ji raised an eyebrow, grinning unseriously, "Don’t be like that, eh? I feel like talking, so I’ll tell you – Xi Nian, although he’s a diamond Gold bachelor, doesn’t have anything to do with you.

Don’t fantasize about marrying into high society, they don’t fancy you. Are you high society? In terms of money, you could say so;

However, if my Xia Family doesn’t acknowledge you, just having money isn’t enough to impress others. A fling is no big deal, but marriage is something different – they’re not blind.

You shouldn’t mistakenly think that if one thrives, all associated thrive. Our Xia Family could deal with ten Xia Ruyans like you."

Xia Chui stepped out, and heard his sister’s arrogant words that seemed to reach the heavens, and couldn’t help but be torn between laughter and tears, sizing up his little sister. After a pause, he approached the two.

Xia Ruyan’s face showed a hint of humiliated resentment, her beautiful eyes staring blankly at Xia Chui. But Xia Chui did not meet her pitiful gaze as she had hoped.

Instead, he casually rubbed Xia Ji’s head, "Did brother teach you to be this arrogant?"

Xia Ji pushed away Xia Chui’s mischievous hand from her head with a look of disgust, "Big brother, don’t touch my head. Is my head something that anyone can just touch casually?"

Xia Chui, looking at his hand that she had just swatted away with a disdainful expression, was speechless: "..."

As Xia Ruyan watched the siblings interact so naturally, she felt a tinge of bitterness. Out of respect for his uncle, Xia Chui had indeed taken good care of her as she entered the entertainment industry.

When he encountered her, although not close, he would still nod in greeting subtly, letting those around her understand that they were acquainted.

Ever since she stepped into the circle, she could be said to have had a streak of luck, winning awards until her hands were sore. She was quite aware that when compared to others who had won Best Actress, her talent was not on the same level.

But on the other hand, through her own efforts, she had indeed made progress.

Moreover, she always blurred the lines, implying that Xia Chui was her big brother, which ensured that the resources she acquired were of much higher quality.

Because of these tangled threads, investors gave her more opportunities. After tasting success, she became increasingly enthusiastic about it.

And she thought, if things continued like this, it would be quite good.

It even became something she took for granted.

However, Xia Ji’s earlier words reminded her that if Xia Chui started paying attention to those messy rumors and denied any relationship with her,

Then she would have no idea how far she could fall.

Now that Xia Chui had suddenly appeared, she originally planned to show some humility in front of him, to let Xia Chui see her willingness to compromise and Xia Ji’s unreasonableness, and to let him know that Xia Ji was not the girl worthy of his affection.

But Xia Chui hadn’t even glanced at her.

Xia Chui withdrew his hand and placed it by his side, looking at Xia Ji with a resentful gaze. Xia Ji smoothed out her hair, which wasn’t messy to begin with, and glared back at Xia Chui with hate in her eyes, "Big brother, what’s with that look? Are you looking down on me?"

Xia Chui sighed silently, "Little sister, do I have any status at all in your heart? And what was that silly comparison you made earlier? Don’t you know Grandpa is very angry?"

"How did you find out?" Xia Ji was puzzled, blinking, "Is the house full of surveillance? Big brother, do you really need that?"

Xia Chui, "Grandpa is usually the only one at home, how could we not worry? Isn’t it only natural? What’s so strange about that?"

Xia Ji looked horrified, "So you saw my shrew-like behavior just now?"

Xia Chui nodded, "Saw it."

Xia Ji, "...I can’t have a pleasant chat with you anymore, having seen my true self, I’ll be too ashamed to face you in the future, I’m going into seclusion."

Watching his little sister suddenly act dramatically, Xia Chui couldn’t help but smile wryly, giving her a flick on the forehead. Xia Ji rubbed the spot where Xia Chui had flicked her, looking peeved, "What was that for?"

Xia Chui, "Go back first. Grandpa wants to talk to you. I need to chat with Xia Ruyan here."

Xia Ji’s gaze swept between the two of them, refusing, "I won’t. You’ve helped her for so many years, who knows if you’ll play favorites now. I’m not going anywhere, I’m going to supervise you here. If you dare join her in bullying me, I’ll tell Grandpa that you’re not a good person."

Xia Chui: "..."

How innocent he was, bullied to such an extent by his little sister without being able to utter a single rebuttal.

"Fine, fine, you watch, you watch. I won’t say another word. Whatever you say goes. You want to watch, watch as long as you please, ah!"

Xia Ji quite pleased with herself, "That’s more like it."
