She Came From Hell (GL) - Chapter 79

“Why should you get to live in the main building, but we, the Ming family, can’t? We’re all from the Qi family, isn’t the head of the Fu family being a little biased?” Grandma Qi said to Qi Xiyao, her tone dripping with sarcasm.

At this moment, the first-floor hall of the main building was filled with people. They were all chatting and relaxing. The Qi family sat at one table, and the people at the nearby tables overheard Grandma Qi’s words, feeling speechless.

Qi Xiyao clenched the edges of her clothes, feeling utterly embarrassed. Why did Grandma have to say such things in front of so many people? How could she be so shameless?

“Heh, don’t think that because I’m old, I can’t see through your little schemes. It’s disgusting just to say it out loud. A young lady like you, falling in love with another woman… you’re truly ruining the Qi family’s reputation! With a disgrace like you in the family, a burden, the Qi family is doomed!” Grandma Qi didn’t hold back at all, the more she spoke, the worse it got.

Grandma Qi exposed the thoughts Qi Xiyao had been hiding deep inside, and at that moment, Qi Xiyao’s world completely shattered.

“Shut up! You’ve never liked me! Just because I’m a girl and not the boy you wanted, you’ve always looked down on me and my mom!

Fine! We won’t be in your way. We try to visit the old house as little as possible, just once or twice a year. You always give me and my mom a hard time, even with guests around. You don’t even try to hide your sharp, mean-spirited attitude!

And to satisfy your preference for sons over daughters, you went so far as to bring that illegitimate child into the Qi family, throwing my mom and me into the spotlight!”

“That’s not all! Whatever my parents buy for me, you always have to play the elder card and demand that they buy the same thing for the illegitimate child.

Yes, I like a woman. So what? Is that a crime? What kind of society are we living in now?

Being gay is not a crime! The real crime is your narrow-mindedness, your constant gossiping and spreading rumors! What’s wrong with me? I’m not wrong! I just happen to like another woman!”

“Love has no gender. Love can cross boundaries. I don’t expect you to understand, maybe you’ve never even experienced what love is yourself!

And by the way, I am Qi Xiyao, the daughter of my parents. I’m not your granddaughter, so you have no right to judge me or give me those contemptuous looks. Don’t say I’m unfilial or disrespectful to you. If you want my respect, if you want me to be filial, the first thing is that you have to be my family! But you’ve never been. In my heart, you don’t deserve that.”

With tears in her eyes, Qi Xiyao yelled at Grandma Qi, pouring out all the words she had kept bottled up for years. Looking at the still disdainful gaze from Grandma Qi, Qi Xiyao stood up and turned to leave.

Just as she turned, she met Fu Yilan’s gaze. Fu Yilan was standing ahead, quietly watching her.

Fu Yilan had just left the rooms of Grandma Fu and Grandpa Fu, intending to find Fu Yinxuan and Fu Jingsheng downstairs. As she walked to the table where Fu Yinxuan and Fu Jingsheng were sitting, she happened upon this scene.

“Heh, the person you like just happens to be a woman. So, that woman is the head of the Fu family, huh! No wonder the head of the Fu family arranged for you to stay in the main building. I bet you’re up to some shady business when the night gets quiet!”

Grandma Qi saw the black string bracelet on Fu Yilan’s wrist, which looked exactly like the red string bracelet she had seen on Qi Xiyao’s wrist before. She wasn’t afraid of Fu Yilan and didn’t care that they had now attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.

The entire hall was silent, except for the sound of Qi Xiyao’s choking sobs.

“Oh? Why aren’t you saying anything now? Did I hit the nail on the head? You were so tough just a moment ago, so arrogant. Did you really think the Qi family would fall apart without you?” Grandma Qi continued to mock Qi Xiyao, relentlessly.
