Chapter 7: Malicious Intent
She knew that Jiang Xue didn’t like Qian Cheng. Even though she was forced to marry him, she didn’t love him at all, and even hated him. Jiang Xue felt that Mu Qiancheng had taken advantage of her, forcing her to marry him by exploiting her father’s illness and need for money.
"Really?" Jiang Xue responded faintly. In her past life, she trusted Cheng Li immensely, so no matter what Cheng Li said, she always interpreted it positively and never negatively.
But living this life again, hearing Cheng Li say such things, she discerned a different flavor. Cheng Li wanted her to reject this child because she knew she hated Qian Cheng. If the child looked like Qian Cheng, she would transfer her hatred for Qian Cheng onto the child, as the saying goes, "hate the house and its crow."
In her past life, she indeed did just that. After Cheng Li told her the child looked like Mu Qiancheng, she hated the child and eventually didn’t even want to look at him, leaving him directly to the care of her in-laws.
But now, things are different. She has died once and finally understood who truly cared for her, so how could she repeat the same mistake?
Not only wouldn’t she, but she would also love them even more, making up for her past life’s shortcomings.
"Little Xue?" Cheng Li looked at Jiang Xue in surprise, unable to believe that she hadn’t rejected the child as she had anticipated.
What’s going on? It’s been, what, less than two days? How has Jiang Xue changed her heart?
Previously, whenever Qian Cheng was mentioned in front of Jiang Xue, she would explode, then irritably say, "Don’t mention him."
But now, she not only mentioned Qian Cheng but also specifically noted that the child looked like Qian Cheng, yet Jiang Xue didn’t react at all. This was beyond a minor discrepancy; it was practically overwhelming.
