Big Miss and White Moonlight, Stop Fighting! - Chapter 35

Chapter 35: She’ll Be Your Sister-In-Law, Making You Even Closer.

Wen Wuxin sobbed in the warm embrace. Although she knew she shouldn’t be so greedy for this warmth that didn’t belong to her, she still hoped this dream-like and beautiful scene could last for just one more second.

The figure outside the door disappeared.

Jiang Qingyue sneered in her heart. She knew that person wouldn’t dare to come in at a time like this.

“Xin Xin,” Jiang Qingyue’s voice was extremely soft, “you and Jiang…”

Her phone started vibrating, interrupting Jiang Qingyue’s words.

Wen Wuxin had also finally calmed down. She left Jiang Qingyue’s embrace, her voice muffled. “Sister, you should answer the phone.”

Looking at the caller ID, Jiang Qingyue’s expression was not very good.

She answered the phone, and a middle-aged woman’s voice came through.

“Did you see her?”

Jiang Qingyue hummed in response.

“Are you relieved now?”

Jiang Qingyue glanced at Wen Wuxin and remained silent.

The woman on the other end of the phone seemed to have expected this. “Give the phone to Wuxin.”

After a moment of hesitation, Jiang Qingyue still put the phone on speaker and handed it to Wen Wuxin.

The moisture in Wen Wuxin’s eyes hadn’t faded yet. Although she was confused, she still took the phone and greeted the person politely. “Hello.”

“Wuxin.” The voice on the other end of the phone made Wen Wuxin’s body stiffen. Who else could it be but Jiang Asheng?

Jiang Asheng seemed to be completely unaware of Wen Wuxin’s discomfort. She said with a smile, “Wuxin, do you like the engagement gift I gave you?”

Wen Wuxin bit her lip and hummed in response.

“You should get along well with Jiang Qingyue in the future. After all, she’s also a member of our Jiang family. After you and Jiang Qingyue get married, she’ll be Jiang Qingyue’s sister, and she’ll be your sister and your family.”

Her tone was kind, but the words she said were full of hidden aggression.

Wen Wuxin instantly understood the subtext.

She had to obey Jiang Asheng and get engaged to Jiang Qingyue, otherwise, Jiang Qingyue’s situation…

She couldn’t imagine it, and she didn’t dare to.

The hand holding the phone turned white at the knuckles. Wen Wuxin forced a smile. “Thank you, Auntie Jiang. I understand.”

After hanging up the phone, as expected, Wen Wuxin saw Jiang Qingyue’s confusion.

Averting her gaze, Wen Wuxin took a step back and asked softly, “Now that you’re back, Sister, are you leaving again?”

Jiang Qingyue shook her head. “No. But your engagement to Jiang Qingyue…”

She would absolutely not allow that to happen.

“I love her,” Wen Wuxin’s eyes began to lose focus. She didn’t even know what she was saying. “So I’m very happy that Auntie Jiang can agree to my engagement with her.”

Thump, thump, thump.

Silence fell between the two of them. Wen Wuxin could only hear her own heartbeat. It was beating so powerfully that it felt a little painful.

The gloom in her eyes flashed and then quickly disappeared. Jiang Qingyue then hugged Wen Wuxin with both arms, just like she had countless times before.

“Xin Xin, don’t be afraid. Just do what you truly want to do. Don’t force yourself to do anything else.”

Wen Wuxin’s nose felt sore. She used all her strength to control her sobs. Taking a deep breath, she pushed Jiang Qingyue away and looked up at her.

“I really like Miss Jiang. I’m very happy that I can get engaged to her. You’ll bless us, right, Sister?”

Looking into Jiang Qingyue’s eyes, Wen Wuxin suddenly stopped crying.

She had no right to drag Jiang Qingyue down into the abyss with her.

Perhaps it was because she had been acting in front of Jiang Qingyue for three years, but now, when facing Jiang Qingyue, Wen Wuxin was able to act with genuine emotion.

This time, Jiang Qingyue was the first to look away.

“Oh, why isn’t the door closed… Miss Wen, the pigments you ordered have arrived. Look, um? Miss Jiang, didn’t you go…”

Butler Li stood at the doorway, looking at the people in the room with a puzzled expression.

“I’m not Jiang Qingyue,” Jiang Qingyue said with a blank expression.

Butler Li rubbed her eyes. “No, then you…”

Wen Wuxin glanced at Jiang Qingyue, then quickly looked away. Her voice was very thick as she interrupted Butler Li. “Butler Li, take me to see the new pigments.”

Butler Li had a guess in her heart, but seeing Wen Wuxin’s visibly distressed face, she couldn’t ask any more questions and just led her away first.

After Wen Wuxin left, Jiang Qingyue closed the door. She turned around and looked at the lush green scenery outside the window.

In the years she had been separated from Wen Wuxin, Jiang Qingyue had lost a lot and had also imagined a lot.

A person as good as Wen Wuxin would surely be liked by many people, so it was only natural for her to be in a relationship.

Jiang Qingyue couldn’t tolerate it, but she could only accept it.

But Wen Wuxin’s romantic partner just had to be Jiang Qingyue.

Her expression became increasingly cold and severe. Jiang Qingyue held out her left hand and looked at the scar on the back of it.

It’s so ugly.

If Xin Xin saw it, she would definitely be disgusted by me.

Jiang Qingyue habitually reached for her pocket, then her movements froze.

She had left in too much of a hurry this time and had forgotten to bring her gloves.

“Heh,” Jiang Qingyue gave a self-deprecating laugh. What am I even worried about?

Even if her hand was perfectly fine, Wen Wuxin had someone she loved now, and the person she loved was her own biological twin sister, who looked exactly like her.

I want to lock Wen Wuxin away. I don’t want anyone else to see her, to see my treasure.

Dark and crazy thoughts grew wildly in Jiang Qingyue’s mind. She was already thinking about how to take Wen Wuxin away without anyone knowing.

Letting out a soft sigh, Jiang Qingyue knew that she couldn’t bear to do that in the end.

Since she couldn’t control Wen Wuxin’s thoughts, she could at least influence Jiang Qingyue.

Jiang Qingyue, who was pondering a feasible plan, suddenly heard the sound of the doorknob turning.

Jiang Asheng was truly a person of her word. She had said she would let her see Wen Wuxin once, and it really was just once. Now, she was probably sending someone to take her away again.

Controlling her emotions, Jiang Qingyue turned around with a blank expression. “Let’s go…”

Her words came to a halt.

Standing at the doorway was a woman who had the exact same face as her.

Jiang Qingyue tilted her head slightly, her eyes completely cold.

Some people really asked to be hit.

“What do you want? If it’s the heir position, we can compete fairly.”

The usual lazy and casual look on Jiang Qingyue’s face was gone. Although her face was a little pale, she still asked the question with great presence.

“There’s never been fairness in this world, little sister,” Jiang Qingyue said with a faint smile.

From the moment Jiang Qingyue found out that she had been abandoned by Jiang Asheng, she knew that there was no such thing as fairness in this world.

“You knew Xin Xin before?” Jiang Qingyue couldn’t help but ask.

“You’re not worthy of calling her that,” Jiang Qingyue raised an eyebrow, her tone full of disdain. “She and I grew up together. And I am—”

Jiang Qingyue emphasized her words. “The only, correct choice for her.”

Jiang Qingyue was not to be outdone. She smiled brightly. “Xin Xin just said she loves me with her own mouth. My dear sister, is there something wrong with your ears?”

Jiang Qingyue was silent. She just stared at Jiang Qingyue, as if looking at a dead object.

Jiang Qingyue ignored the other woman’s gaze. She returned to her usual image as the relaxed and carefree Miss Jiang. “You, as her sister, must attend Xin Xin and my engagement party. After all, you used to be Xin Xin’s friend, and now that your friend is your sister-in-law, it’s like a double blessing.”

Jiang Qingyue lowered her eyes and said nothing more.

Feeling bored, Jiang Qingyue also left.

It wasn’t until she sat in the driver’s seat that Jiang Qingyue was completely exhausted.

She rested her hands on the steering wheel, but she didn’t start the car immediately. Instead, she rested her head on the steering wheel and closed her eyes.

When she arrived at the company today, she found that she had left an important document at home in the study. Since she had plenty of time, she chose to drive home herself to get the document.

After returning to the Jiang family’s main residence, she happened to run into Butler Li, who was supervising the gardeners in the garden. Butler Li also mentioned in passing that Wen Wuxin was currently with a guest.

Her rationality told Jiang Qingyue that she shouldn’t disturb the other woman at this time, but a strange, uneasy thought made Jiang Qingyue go to the room where Wen Wuxin was as if by some strange impulse.

If that client bullies Xin Xin, I can stand up for her.

Having found a reason for herself, Jiang Qingyue stood at the door, ready to knock, but found that the door was not closed at all.

Jiang Qingyue thought that everything was under her control, and her biggest reliance was Wen Wuxin’s love for her.

But after seeing the woman in the room who looked exactly like her, Jiang Qingyue felt afraid for the first time.

She didn’t even have time to think about why her own sister had come back from the dead, or if this sister would steal her position as the heir. The only thought in her mind was—

Who does Wen Wuxin really love?

Jiang Qingyue, standing outside the door, heard her lover’s gentle voice, a voice she had never heard before, softly calling a name.

“…Sister Qingyue, it’s been a long time.”

Jiang Qingyue hurriedly hid behind the door, her nails digging hard into the soft flesh of her palms.

All these years, had Wen Wuxin’s repeated calls of “Qingyue” been for her, or for her twin sister, who had been missing for years and looked exactly like her?

Her legs felt like they weighed a thousand pounds. Jiang Qingyue didn’t even have the courage to walk into the room to question them.

She walked out numbly. After a few steps, Jiang Qingyue heard the phone call Jiang Asheng made to Jiang Qingyue.

She heard Wen Wuxin say that she loved her.

Although she couldn’t see the other woman’s expression, Jiang Qingyue knew that it was a lie.

After spending three years with Wen Wuxin, she was sometimes finally able to distinguish the other woman’s true emotions.

Dragging her heavy feet, she came to the glass conservatory. Jiang Qingyue looked at the delicate flowers.

Her mind was a jumbled mess. She had long lost her usual rationality. She didn’t think about why she hadn’t investigated Wen Wuxin’s true past before. She could only think—

I must have been a stand-in.

That’s right. Given my reputation for being a playgirl in the romance department, if Wen Wuxin really loved me, she should have been very bothered by it.

But why? Why does that person get everything?

I’m the one who’s been by Wen Wuxin’s side for the past three years!

After she had a clear idea of what was going on, Jiang Qingyue, lacking confidence, left the glass conservatory. Even if Wen Wuxin didn’t want her, she would still shamelessly cling to the other woman.

But she didn’t expect that only Jiang Qingyue would be left in the room.

Jiang Qingyue had already vaguely realized that in this war without smoke, she was not the winner.

But she had learned a truth from a young age: no matter if the opponent was stronger than her, she couldn’t show weakness.

She quickly stabilized her mind. The situation wasn’t clear yet, so why couldn’t she be the winner?

Wen Wuxin could only be, and had to be, her lover.
