After Swapping Lives, the Metaphysics Side Character Became the Wealthy Family's Beloved - Chapter 162

Li Qiao listened carefully.

The group headed towards Li Shaoxing’s residence outside the family home.

However, upon reaching the entrance, Su Qiantang hesitated to go further. Seeing her timid demeanor, Li Qiao felt quite helpless.

“You don’t want to see my third brother?”

Su Qiantang quickly shook her head, gazing up at the tenth floor. “If I go up, Brother Xing will be upset. I don’t want Brother Xing to be unhappy. If he’s sad, I’ll be sad too.”

For a moment, a tinge of sorrow washed over Li Qiao’s heart.

She really is an extreme hopeless romantic.

“I’m here. I’ll protect you.”

Su Qiantang’s eyes lit up. She grabbed Li Qiao’s hand, nodding foolishly again and again.

The three Xiao brothers exchanged glances amongst themselves.

Upon reaching the tenth floor,

Li Qiao caught a whiff of a rich peach blossom fragrance, seemingly wafting from inside the apartment.

Su Qiantang pounded on the door.

After a while, the door opened. Li Hui’s smiling face vanished the instant she saw them.

“What are you all doing here?”

Li Hui assumed the air of the lady of the house.

Once inside, Li Qiao calmly surveyed her surroundings, while Su Qiantang beside her could no longer hold back. “This is Brother Xing’s home. We can come whenever we want. It’s not your place to make comments here.”

“You…” Li Hui turned livid with anger. She had never been treated this way before.

She immediately retorted, “What do you have to be so proud of? I knew Brother Xing first. What makes you worthy of him? You’re just a useless parasite.”

“You’re the parasite!”

Su Qiantang shouted angrily.

“Brother Xing doesn’t like brainless idiots like you with big breasts, don’t you get it?”

Li Hui insisted firmly, her eyes full of mockery.

Remembering how Li Shaoxing had fiercely rejected Su Qiantang before, Li Hui felt immensely pleased. The disdain in her eyes stung Su Qiantang deeply.

“That’s between Brother Xing and me. It has nothing to do with you. You ate my food, drank my drinks. I treated you as a friend, but you took me for a fool, Li Hui. You have no heart.”

“You did all those things willingly. I never forced you. Blame your own stupidity.” In her eyes, Su Qiantang was utterly worthless, her only merit being her family background.

She just had the luck of good birth, what was so great about that?

Li Hui scoffed disdainfully.

“You really are something, Su Qiantang. Who do you think you are? What gives you the right to compete with me for Brother Xing? He doesn’t like you. He didn’t like you before, and he won’t like you now. The one who can stand by Brother Xing’s side can only be me, not you.”

“You’re lying!”

Su Qiantang roared.

She saw the scornful smile curling at the corner of Li Hui’s lips.

This wicked woman was definitely provoking her on purpose, trying to make her angry, to make her heartbroken.

She couldn’t let Li Hui manipulate her like this. Absolutely not.

“Whether it’s a lie or not, you know deep down. Brother Xing will propose to me soon. Once we’re engaged, we’ll definitely invite you to the banquet.” As she said this, Li Hui was utterly smug.

Su Qiantang’s pupils contracted sharply. She stared at Li Hui in disbelief, as if asking how this could possibly be true.

“You’re lying! Brother Xing won’t marry you. What kind of trick did you use to bewitch Brother Xing?”

Su Qiantang cried out furiously.

In Li Hui’s eyes, Su Qiantang was nothing but a clown.

Li Qiao, who had been observing quietly from the side, suddenly spoke up. “Marriage? Are you sure?”

Li Hui disliked Li Qiao; she had disliked her since the hospital.

She had always viewed Li Qiao as one of Li Shaoxing’s admirers. Though she couldn’t understand why Li Qiao had come with Su Qiantang, Li Hui didn’t care.

“Of course. Brother Xing will marry no one but me. Brother Xing and I will definitely get married.”
