Chapter 48: The Scumbag Man and Bitch Woman Who Betrayed Their Sister Tear into Each Other…

Bai Yuanzhi sat beside Zhou Sier, her gaze sharp and fixed on the three individuals involved.

To be precise,

she was staring intently at Song Junshu and Luo Jiaojiao.

Bai Yuanzhi trusted her elder sister’s judgment.

In her previous life, after enduring countless hardships, she had struggled to survive in Hong Kong City, despised and looked down upon by all her family. Only Song Junshu had extended a helping hand to her.

It could be said that Bai Yuanzhi had tasted all the malice the world had to offer in her past life.

And Song Junshu was the only one who had shown her kindness.

Under Song Junshu’s deliberate guidance, Bai Yuanzhi had fallen hopelessly in love with him, even once worshipping him as a deity.

But in the quiet of the night, Bai Yuanzhi had also asked herself: did she truly… love him?

Or was it that what she loved was merely that tiny bit of feigned affection deliberately offered by another, and the insignificant scraps of charity hidden beneath massive demands.

But the Bai Yuanzhi of her past life was a coward.

She dared not burst that bubble.

Because,

once that illusory bubble burst,

she would be thrown back into reality.

She would once again be that filthy, lowly ant despised by the whole world, struggling with all her might just to survive at the very bottom.

So, when Bai Yuanzhi discovered her elder sister Zhou Sier’s belongings at Song Junshu’s place in her past life,

she was utterly shocked and enraged!

Because she could no longer deceive herself.

She hated Song Junshu for deliberately hiding the truth; if she had known her elder sister had been involved with him, she would never have accepted his feelings.

She hated him for appropriating her elder sister’s scientific research achievements while erasing her name.

She hated him for imprisoning her in the name of love, all while complacently enjoying the immense wealth she generated by manipulating the stock market.

And finally, she hated Song Junshu for pushing her down the stairs to her death…

Bai Yuanzhi’s hatred for Song Junshu was a towering skyscraper built brick by brick from countless small grievances.

As long as he lived,

that edifice of hatred would forever weigh on Bai Yuanzhi’s heart.

But now—

Zhou Sier was accusing him, saying she had never accepted Song Junshu’s confession?!

Bai Yuanzhi immediately let out a long sigh of relief.

So, it was all just a dirty trick by that scumbag Song Junshu!

How could her elder sister, Bai Yuanzhi’s own sister, ever have taken a liking to such a hypocritical fraud.

Bai Yuanzhi glanced sideways at Song Junshu and Luo Jiaojiao, thinking to herself: I’ll just watch closely how you two plan to keep up this act.

At that moment, Luo Jiaojiao spoke up:

“Zhou Sier, how dare you still ask me why? You… how dare you!”

By the end, Luo Jiaojiao was in tears, choking so much she could hardly speak.

Zhou Sier stared steadily at Luo Jiaojiao, enunciating each word clearly: “I just want to ask you one question: why.”

“Jiaojiao, we were both once undocumented, living in subdivided flats smaller than chicken coops, without a glimpse of sunlight, eating spoiled leftovers dug out from trash bins, enduring harassment from drunks and perverts…”

“Fortunately, we met and became sisters, helping each other, supporting one another through those most difficult times.”

“We worked together, attended night school together, and even got into Hong Kong University together… Jiaojiao, I always considered you my closest friend.”

“But it seems you didn’t feel the same way, did you?” Zhou Sier asked.

Luo Jiaojiao closed her eyes.

Then, she opened them again, looking coldly at Zhou Sier as she said mockingly, “So what? Am I supposed to be eternally grateful to you?”

Upon hearing this, Bai Yuanzhi understood.

—Luo Jiaojiao was nothing but an ungrateful, backstabbing wretch!

Once she realized this, Bai Yuanzhi couldn’t help but glance at Song Junshu again.

Thinking to herself, if Luo Jiaojiao and Song Junshu were a couple,

they would truly be a perfect match!

Zhou Sier spoke calmly to Luo Jiaojiao, “I don’t need you to be eternally grateful to me.”

“Throughout this journey, I have indeed been pushing you, dragging you along, not allowing you to fall behind. I struggled with all my might, barely managing to climb out of the mire, so I didn’t want you to stay trapped in it…”

“But you shouldn’t belittle yourself either. During those days when we depended on each other for survival, you once cared for me wholeheartedly, put yourself in my shoes, and gave me endless courage and motivation.”

“Without you, I might not have had the courage to climb out.”

“But I think I understand the baseless resentment you’ve developed toward me.”

Zhou Sier took a deep breath.

After a moment, she asked Luo Jiaojiao, “When we still lived in subdivided flats, in the eyes of those people, we were equal, the same—both at the mercy of others.”

“But ever since we both became students at Hong Kong University, you think there’s a gap between us… right? That’s why you hate me…”

“Yes!!!” Luo Jiaojiao glared at Zhou Sier with hatred, saying angrily, “We used to be sisters with similar circumstances in every way, but after coming to Hong Kong University, you’re the top student all the professors fight over, the goddess every guy on campus secretly admires, the caring big sister every girl likes…”

“But what about me?”

Luo Jiaojiao pressed a hand to her chest, “I’m only fit to pick up your scraps and be your sidekick!”

“You excel in your studies, but I’m an academic failure! If you hadn’t pulled me into your team, I wouldn’t even be able to write a paper, and I might have struggled to graduate.”

“You’re beautiful, and every man loves you, but I’m plain-looking and average in figure. Standing next to your dazzling self, I’m like an invisible person. I’ve always been by your side, and you call me Jiaojiao every day, so they call me Jiaojiao too. But how many people even know my surname is Luo?”

“Even if it weren’t for you, Song Junshu would never have dated me,” Luo Jiaojiao admitted frankly.

As soon as these last words were spoken,

Zhou Sier wore an expression that said, “I knew it”;

Bai Yuanzhi suddenly understood, thinking to herself that before this “change of affection,” there was a premise of “sisters turning against each other.”

As for Song Junshu, his face flushed red.

He looked at Luo Jiaojiao in shock, flustered and furious, “Jiaojiao, don’t talk nonsense. I, you and I… actually, it’s nothing.”

Then he anxiously said to Zhou Sier, “Sier, don’t believe what she said, it’s not at all like she described. I… you’re the only one in my heart. As for Jiaojiao, she probably… misunderstood.”

Zhou Sier didn’t even spare Song Junshu a single glance.

She said to Luo Jiaojiao, “You already know from Qiao Sen that I’ve lost my memory. My memories stop on March 7th, and I don’t remember anything that happened after.”

“So, Jiaojiao, what exactly happened afterward?”

“Why was I at Bilanting Hotel? Why did I fall from the guest room window? Who rented that room? Why do you all say I was Song Junshu’s girlfriend?”

After asking a series of questions, Zhou Sier added, “Jiaojiao, as long as you say it, I’ll believe you.”

Bai Yuanzhi disapprovingly looked at her elder sister.

—Just based on how many times Luo Jiaojiao had visited her elder sister during the half-year she was in a coma, one hand could count them all!

Why should her elder sister even give such an ungrateful person a chance?

However, Bai Yuanzhi could also understand her elder sister’s feelings.

After all, Luo Jiaojiao was once a good friend who had shared hardships with her.

In her elder sister’s heart, Luo Jiaojiao’s status might not be lower than Bai Yuanzhi’s.

Suddenly learning that beneath her good friend’s true face lay hidden malice…

No one could accept that.

So, before cutting ties, desensitization had to be done first.

It was just a pity that although Bai Yuanzhi understood Zhou Sier’s intentions,

Song Junshu didn’t realize it.

He anxiously said to Luo Jiaojiao, “Jiaojiao, you must think carefully before answering Sier’s questions!”

As he spoke, he glared fiercely at Luo Jiaojiao.

Luo Jiaojiao looked at Zhou Sier with tears in her eyes, “Really? No matter what I say… you’ll believe me?”

Zhou Sier slowly nodded.

Luo Jiaojiao laughed, “Hahahaha! Since you’ll believe whatever I say…”

“Alright then, I’ll tell you—”

“Zhou Sier, you’re a cheap bitch! You’re a shameless whore! You northern slut! You’re a gold digger!”

Luo Jiaojiao shouted as if insane, “Yes! You knew early on that I liked Song Junshu, but you thought you were prettier than me, smarter than me, nobler than me, better than me, so you wanted to steal my boyfriend! You wanted to prove that the man I couldn’t get no matter how hard I tried would chase after you like a dog with just a little finger hook!”

“So on the night of March 9th, when Song Junshu knelt on one knee and confessed to you in front of everyone, you were overjoyed, you showed off to me, you agreed immediately!”

“That very night you forced Song Junshu to get a room at Bilanting Hotel!”

“Then, you wore sexy lingerie to seduce Song Junshu, he refused, so you forced him, you two struggled and pulled, and you accidentally… fell out the window!”

As she spoke, Luo Jiaojiao looked at Zhou Sier and sneered coldly, “You actually have the nerve to ask me why I didn’t visit you during the half-year you were a vegetable?”

“Just because you used such despicable means to steal the guy I liked, and you still want me to visit you?”

“What a joke!”

“Zhou Sier, do you know, I wish you were dead!” Luo Jiaojiao shouted loudly.

At this moment, Song Junshu stepped forward, “Luo Jiaojiao, I won’t allow you to speak to Sier like that!”

Luo Jiaojiao looked at Song Junshu with tears in her eyes.

“I was really… blind to have liked you!” Luo Jiaojiao sobbed, “But Song Junshu, you played with my feelings again and again, have you ever thought that one day I would get tired, I would hate?”

Luo Jiaojiao took a deep breath and said to Song Junshu, “Whether you genuinely love Zhou Sier, or you’re seeking something else… I want to tell you—Song Junshu, since you never liked me from the start, since the person you’ve always liked is Zhou Sier, then forget it!”

“From now on, we’re strangers!” With that, Luo Jiaojiao wiped away her tears and turned to leave.

However—

Before Luo Jiaojiao could even step out of the hospital room,

Zhou Sier instructed Bai Yuanzhi, “Ah Zhi, did you hear everything Luo Jiaojiao just said?”

Bai Yuanzhi nodded repeatedly.

Zhou Sier said, “Later, you’ll relay it to Brother Ming (Jiang Yiming). Remember, not a single word can be missed!”

Bai Yuanzhi nodded emphatically.

Luo Jiaojiao turned back to look at Zhou Sier, opening her mouth as if to speak but ultimately saying nothing.

Song Junshu quickly tried to smooth things over, “Sier, don’t take it to heart. Jiaojiao was just trying to provoke you, so she spoke recklessly.”

Zhou Sier said coldly, “Whether she spoke recklessly or not, the police will investigate.”

Song Junshu’s expression changed. First, he tried to persuade Zhou Sier, “Sier, don’t make a scene.”

Then he turned to Luo Jiaojiao and said, “Jiaojiao, hurry up and apologize to Sier! You two have been like sisters for so many years, always so close… It’s not worth falling out over such a small matter! Come on, apologize to Sier.”

As he spoke, Song Junshu desperately signaled Luo Jiaojiao with his eyes.

Zhou Sier said to Song Junshu, “Luo Jiaojiao is an adult. She knows what she can and cannot say without you teaching her. Besides, matters between Jiaojiao and me have nothing to do with you, an outsider.”

Then, Zhou Sier said to Luo Jiaojiao, “You may leave!”

Luo Jiaojiao hesitated for a moment before turning and walking away.

Only then did Zhou Sier say to Song Junshu, “Now, let’s talk about you and me.”

Song Junshu froze.

Bai Yuanzhi, seeing her sister so strong and dignified, felt endless joy in her heart.

In truth, Zhou Sier was already mentally exhausted at this moment.

She was afraid she might faint again soon,

so she urgently wanted to deal with Song Junshu to prevent him from making any decisions on her behalf in the future under the guise of being “Zhou Sier’s boyfriend.”

Song Junshu seemed to realize this as well and tried to adopt a “delaying” tactic.

“Sier, let’s talk about us later. What’s most important now is your health,” Song Junshu said gently. “You don’t look well… you should rest first! Don’t worry, I’m here with you. I’ll take care of you.”

Zhou Sier said coldly to Song Junshu, “Don’t speak to me so intimately.”

“I’ll ask you just one thing—am I really your girlfriend?”

“Don’t think that just because I’ve lost my memory, you can say whatever you want to deceive me! Let me say it again: I’ve only lost my memory, not my intelligence. Who I like or dislike—don’t I know that in my heart?”

“So, Song Junshu, think carefully before you answer.”

At this point, Zhou Sier looked at Song Junshu with disgust.

Song Junshu’s expression shifted several times—

first flushing with anger, then turning pale with disappointment, then darkening with frustration, before finally returning to normal.

He said word by word, “Sier, maybe you’ve lost your memory, so you don’t remember… but I truly like you. That day, in front of our team members, I prepared roses and a necklace for you, knelt on one knee, and confessed my feelings.”

“And you, in front of everyone, accepted the roses I gave you.”

“Sier, tell me—if you didn’t like me, why would you agree and accept the flowers I gave you?”

“Sier, if you don’t believe me, you can ask Qiao Sen and the others!”

Song Junshu declared with conviction.

Zhou Sier sneered coldly.

But it was also true that her strength was failing.

Her head was spinning, her vision darkening, and cold sweat was streaming down her face.

Leaning on Bai Yuanzhi’s shoulder, Zhou Sier spoke to Song Junshu word by word: “If that’s the case, then fine… Song Junshu, listen clearly. I want to put the past behind me.”

“I, Zhou Sier, have nothing to do with Song Junshu!”

“Did you hear me clearly?” Zhou Sier asked.

Song Junshu’s mouth fell open.

He never expected Zhou Sier to be so resolute.

After a long pause, he finally snapped back to reality, shaking his head frantically. “No! That won’t do… Sier, what do you mean by this?”

“Are you saying—you want to break up with me? I don’t agree!” Song Junshu said anxiously. “I absolutely don’t agree!”

Zhou Sier said calmly, “According to what you said, I only accepted your roses. I never went with you to register or get married. Now I want to cut ties with you. What are you disagreeing with? What right or standing do you have to disagree?”

Bai Yuanzhi tightly embraced her elder sister.

—Elder sister is truly admirable!

Song Junshu was dumbfounded.

He grew frantic. “No! Sier, you can’t do this… I know you’re angry with Jiaojiao, so you’re taking it out on me, right?”

“Sier, this isn’t fair to me!”

“Are you blaming me for not protecting you well enough, causing you to fall into a coma and become a vegetable?”

“But Sier, seeing you suffer pains me too! But there was nothing I could do…”

“Sier, you can’t punish me for someone else’s mistake!” Song Junshu argued passionately.

Zhou Sier said, “This has nothing to do with Jiaojiao.”

Song Junshu’s gaze fell on Bai Yuanzhi again.

Then he anxiously said to Zhou Sier, “Then, is it because of what Ah Zhi said to you?”

“Sier, you… you can’t sentence me to death based on someone else’s one-sided words!”

“Can’t you listen to my explanation?”

“Sier, we love each other. You can’t deny our feelings just because you’ve lost your memory!”

“In short—”

“I don’t agree to break up!” Song Junshu gradually became hysterical.

Bai Yuanzhi noticed her elder sister’s discomfort.

“Elder sister, don’t mind him… rest, I’ll handle the rest.” As she spoke, Bai Yuanzhi helped Zhou Sier lie down slowly.

Zhou Sier held her hand uneasily. “Tell Ming Ge, tell Qiao Sen, and also tell Bilanting that Song Junshu… is not my boyfriend! If I become unable to care for myself due to illness… you are my only agent! Ah Zhi, do you understand?”

Song Junshu grew frantic. “No—”

Bai Yuanzhi comforted Zhou Sier. “Don’t worry, elder sister, I’ll take care of everything! Besides my testimony, there’s also surveillance installed in your hospital room!”

Zhou Sier slowly closed her eyes.

Song Junshu cried out anxiously, “No! That won’t do, I don’t agree…”

Bai Yuanzhi gave Song Junshu a cold glance. First, she carefully tucked Zhou Sier’s blanket in, then pressed the call button by the bed.

Soon, Sister Cai knocked and entered, asking politely, “What can I do for you, miss?”

Bai Yuanzhi said, “Sister Cai, my elder sister needs to rest and doesn’t want to be disturbed by irrelevant people. Could you please escort this Mr. Song out?”

Sister Cai nodded, then walked up to Song Junshu. “Sir, since the host has already said so, I hope you can show some consideration for the patient and leave as soon as possible, so as not to disturb Miss Zhou while she recuperates.”

Song Junshu was frantic. “Bai Yuanzhi! What—what do you mean? What exactly have I done to offend you?”

Sister Cai’s expression darkened. “Sir, please do not shout at our young lady. Otherwise, Mr. Chen will be displeased.”

Song Junshu froze for a moment, suddenly realizing that this imposing maid before him was likely one of Chen Shuojie’s people.

Filled with resentment and anger, yet also fearful of Chen Shuojie’s influence, he had no choice but to reluctantly head toward the door.

However, before leaving, Song Junshu couldn’t suppress his frustration. He turned back to look at Bai Yuanzhi. “Ah Zhi, once Si’er is feeling a bit better, I’ll come back to clarify things with her.”

Bai Yuanzhi sneered, “You shameless dog!”

Song Junshu’s face paled, his eyes wide with fury as he glared at Bai Yuanzhi.

But in the end, he lowered his head and staggered away.
