Chapter 417: Dreams Shattered
Nan Qiao was carrying her newly purchased bed set to the parking lot when, by sheer coincidence, she ran into Chen Man and Li Xia.
The two were walking together, chatting and laughing.
When Chen Man saw Nan Qiao, a trace of disgust flickered in her eyes.
Li Xia’s expression, however, remained perfectly calm. She was playing her role well.
Nan Qiao couldn’t be bothered with pointless conversation and continued walking forward.
She couldn’t understand how a clever family like the Chen Family could have produced someone like Chen Man.
Perhaps she’d been overly protected, leaving her oblivious to the darker side of human nature?
Li Xia shouted, "Nan Qiao, how can you ignore your cousin like that? It makes you look so ill-mannered."
Chen Man sneered coldly, her tone condescending. "She’s naturally ill-mannered. She was only brought back by my aunt eighteen years too late. What sort of manners could she have possibly learned?"
Nan Qiao retorted, "And what about your so-called manners? Are your manners to spit venom, to hurl veiled insults? Wow, your upbringing is just amazing!"
Chen Man & Li Xia: "..."
Chen Man scoffed, "My aunt only spoils you out of guilt. Did you really think you were the Bai Family’s true eldest daughter?"
