Chapter 13.1: Furore At The Apothecary's

”What's so despicable about that? As long as it works.” Qing Yu shrugged her shoulders. ”Moreover, although the two of them are a little arrogant and domineering, they are not truly that venomous at heart, so I can't really be bothered to deal with them seriously. It's good enough to just scare them off.”

Qing Bei's gaze then unconsciously softened.

He had seen his elder sister when she had killed without mercy. But this young lady here was actually gentle and kind hearted deep in her bones, harbouring a benevolent heart inside.

Being like that, she had actually unconsciously drawn the eyes of many.

”Sis, they had come just to jeer at us. By this time, Father would have come back from the palace and there would be a welcoming feast in the manor. And we…..” As Qing Bei spoke, his voice grew softer. ”Children of lady concubines are not ent.i.tled to attend it.”

Without a doubt, a sharp rap was delivered right onto the top of his head and the youth cried out softly from the pain.

”The thing you need to do now is to cultivate and become stronger. Instead of thinking of attending the welcoming banquet, why not spend that time cultivating instead. When the time comes and you can stand tall to s.h.i.+ne, who wouldn't be scrambling to come try win your favour? Would you then still lack this cheap father of yours at that time?”

Qing Yu did not like seeing him show such an expression.

Longing for the care and concern of kins.h.i.+p, longing for just one charitable gaze from that so called father.

Pfft, what's kins.h.i.+p? Before money and benefits, everything could be betrayed.

Again. That look in her eyes that seemed to care about nothing.

Having been together for six years, he would often see these eyes on Qing Yu that looked like they could pierce into people.

Icy cold, apathetic. Like nothing before that pair of beautiful eyes was worth her time.

She must have been hurt very deeply before.

Qing Bei bit his lip and held her hand. ”I'm sorry Sis. I've said that I will not make you angry again. I've broken my promise.”

”I am not angry.” Qing Yu shook her head. ”But it's just that I do not want to see you looking so sad and feeling so inferior of yourself. I had thought that you had woken up to your senses in that big fire and decided henceforth that the only person you could trust is just me.”

”Little Bei, you are highly outstanding and there is no need for you to engage in self pity. The day will come where Yan Su will regret he neglected such a brilliant son.”

I will definitely become strong. I will make you proud!” Qing Bei suddenly proclaimed solemnly, the expression on his face serious. He wanted to see Qing Yu smile, a smile that came right from her heart.

”I believe you will.” The young lady's eyes were gentle, the ends of her lips slightly lifted. A sliver of sunlight spilled upon the pretty face that was enchanting as a fox, like it was bathed in saintly brilliance, blindingly enchanting.

Even a strong hearted youth like Qing Bei could not help but unconsciously felt his heart feel a moment of bedazzlement.

His Big Sister was really….. just so beautiful!
