Chapter 254: Dancing with Elder Brother Li (2)

Yan Qingqing sat beside Yan Lili at a different table. “Sis, do you see the girl seated beside Young Master Li?” she said, pointing in their direction.

Yan Lili glanced casually at Ye Tianxin, who was seated beside Li Qingcang.

She had never hated her perfect eyesight so much before in her entire life.

She and Li Qingcang were seated so far apart. Yet, she could still clearly see Li Qingcang, who had always been so cold and indifferent, cracking nuts for Ye Tianxin.

Her chest felt extremely heavy, as if something was pressing down on her heart. She felt terrible.

Yan Qingqing continued her blabbering, “Sis, are you listening to me?”

Yan Qingqing pushed Yan Lili. Yan Lili turned to look at her younger sister with cold eyes.

“Come out with me.”

Yan Qingqing followed Yan Lili to the garden outside obediently. Yan Lili looked around to check that there was no one else around before speaking to Yan Qingqing, “Qingqing, use your brains! If you spread Ye Tianxin’s background around so that everyone in town knows about it, what good would that do for both you and me?”

“Elder Sister, aren’t you angry? What part of you isn’t good? Why would Young Master Li rather take a country bumpkin around? How can you be so casual about it? You...”

Yan Lili responded helplessly, “So? What should I do? What right do I have to do anything? Should I go and hit her like some uneducated and ill-mannered girl? Qingqing, have you told anybody else about what you have just said to me?”

“I...”

Yan Qingqing had never seen Yan Lili looking so frightening. She was so afraid that she did not dare to make a sound.

Yan Lili knew very clearly what kind of person her younger sister was. She wanted to avenge her in a simple and uncouth manner and had already repeated what she had just said to a lot of people.

She smiled bitterly and said, “Qingqing, do you think that those people would criticize her righteously? No. Everyone would just laugh behind my back and say that I am incapable! If she is really as bad as you say and he picked her rather than me, then what does it say about me? Can you not understand?”

Yan Lili had only been too angry and agitated that she had not thought things through.

But when she finally understood, her beautiful face paled.

Yes, everyone would say that Ye Tianxin was a bad choice in front of her. But privately?

They might be laughing at her elder sister behind her back!

They would mock her elder sister for not being able to overthrow an illegitimate daughter from the countryside.

“Sis, I am sorry. I was wrong.”

Yan Lili felt helpless. “Qingqing, some friends you keep, and some you ignore,” she explained. “Given your status, you don’t have to care about others. Do you understand?”

“But, Sis, I was just so angry! What does she have? How could she?”

“She is good at studying, and she’s the national top scorer. Can you do that? Qingqing, you mustn’t just see what others are lacking. You also have to see what they are good at. If there’s really nothing good about her, would he be interested in her? Would he bring her into our social circle?”

Yan Qingqing looked as if she was about to cry. “But...but how is she worthy of him? How could she be worthy of him?”

“You are really a silly child. Worthy or not, it doesn’t count. All of this is decided by him. If he likes her, she would be worthy of him even if she were a beggar. If she does not like her, then she would be unworthy of him even if she were a princess of a country.”

Yan Lili’s calmness made Yan Qingqing feel even more afraid. How could her elder sister be so calm?

Did she not feel even a hint of resentment at all?
