Chapter 320: Who Are You to Say That?
Qin Xiangnuan was startled. In fact, it had been a long time since she thought about the Qin Family at all. She had even forgotten that she still had a father, a stepmother, and siblings.
"Aunt Hua, don’t worry," Qin Xiangyang said with a cold smile, "If they want to come, let them come. It hasn’t mattered for many years. Whatever debts we owed them have been repaid long ago. I have not forgotten the incident when they sold my sister. If they think they can take advantage of me, they’ll have to see if I’m willing. Moreover, we’re going back to the Capital City for the New Year. With the Emperor far away, can they still control us?"
Aunt Hua, hearing Qin Xiangyang’s words, was somewhat relieved.
But Qin Xiangnuan was not. She knew that some people could never escape their past in this lifetime. Her heart had hardened like iron, a lifetime of hatred, witnessing the live heart-wrenching death of her mother and brother. She could see the Qin Family as strangers. Even if they died in front of her, she wouldn’t even frown or shed a tear. However, she was still worried about her brother...
Human hearts are made of flesh. Although her elder brother spoke in such a way, it was inevitable that upon seeing Qin Guohua he wouldn’t soften.
On the fifth day of the new year, Qin Xiangnuan had just bought some fabric from the system, planning to make some spring clothes, but before she could start, she heard many voices outside. Her home was usually quiet, not prone to loud uproar.
Stepping outside, she saw the people, and her usually calm heart suddenly began to churn turbulently, though quickly returning to calmness.
This life was no longer the past life.
She was no longer the previous Qin Xiangnuan, and Qin Xiangmei was not the previous Qin Xiangmei either.
