Chapter Seventeen A Slap in the Face

  "Mo Xiao, when you have time to idle around, have you ever thought about who gave you everything you have today? Touch your own conscience and ask yourself if what you're doing is wrong! I'm at a loss for words. You've never lacked love or care since childhood, how can you be so heartless? Don't you think it's ridiculous? I find it shameful! It's a miracle that you're living peacefully now. With your kind of person, I could sell you out with my eyes closed and you'd still have to treat me as a benefactor! Big sister, aren't you getting old?! Have you been eaten away by something or what?! You're really stupid to the point of being infuriating!"

  Sister Zhu's words were getting more and more vicious, especially when she saw Mo Xiao Xiao being so stubborn, she was even more furious. Don't think that Sister Zhu would stop here, there is still more to come...

  "I've read every single one of your posts, don't you think it's pathetic? I'm really fed up with this text game. If playing with words can get me a handsome guy or a beautiful girl, then that would be great! I finished reading all the famous foreign and Chinese novels five years ago, now I'm studying Greek philosophy! Why don't I have such romantic luck?! Come on, baby, tell me which country's classic literature you're reading, I'll go read it too!"

  Sister Zhu's words are really piercing, although her tone is rough, but her reasoning is not.

  "Now I have an impulse to change my flight and go to Beijing to take a look, but I also need to think about it. What can I say when I get there? Can't just say 'hi, buddy, you're really something, dumping my sister like that! I admire you!' Can only scold him, he's in the wrong, deserves it, no need to explain. This is just providing a joke for us after dinner, you're really selfless, entertaining the masses! You can be awarded 'Best Contribution Award'! If you could laugh it off and move on, that'd be fine, but saying you didn't understand something for over a month... what can I say? Isn't this just typical of someone who's useless and annoying?"

  Sister Zhu didn't give Mo Xiao Xiao a chance to explain, she had thought of many comforting words on her way here, but after hearing what happened, all those comforting words were gone. Today, if I, your elder sister, can't even scold you awake, then it's my age that has grown onto the dog's body!

  "I really don't get it, one person says they'll put you in an important position, another person says the same thing, and you actually believe them! Important position? I'd like to see just how important. Don't listen to their sweet talk, if they really put you in an important position, they wouldn't be bragging about it. And what makes you worthy of being put in an important position? Do they not have parents or relatives? Please, you're past the age of listening to rumors and wishful thinking, can't you see reality clearly? You should know what's most important, don't you? Think about it, have your parents ever been treated this way? Have we, your closest friends, ever been treated like this? Are you living in reality or a dream world? Has over 20 years of comfortable living made you numb? Do you need to taste my bitterness to know how hard life is? You're living a noble life in a greenhouse, and when it gets a little cold, you can't take it. How will you survive in society? Not to mention playing with people's hearts, or using tricks, you can't even tell what's real or fake. Girl, you're over 20, on the road to maturity! It's okay to be a bit naive, but can't you not be so foolish? I just don't get it, how can you be so ridiculously stupid? Your weakness is too obvious, anyone can take advantage of you and you'll be doomed. That's why many people don't want to bother with you, otherwise, you'd have died a million times already!"

  Zhu sister slapped the table, suddenly stood up, spitting everywhere, not caring about her image at all. It's strange, in front of her own younger sister, what's the point of having an image? Anyway, now except for her sister, no one else is present.

  "Sister, I really don't understand, where do you position yourself? Sometimes I'm quite puzzled how your personality, which is not worldly and doesn't care about material things, was formed. You have no desires or demands for others, but can't you also lower your expectations for yourself a bit? Having high expectations is a good thing, but what's the use of having too many? If you don't make changes, what's the point of having expectations?"

  Sister Zhu had long felt that her sister's personality was not suitable for society, and she had also reminded her more or less in the past. However, Mo Xuanxuan was too stubborn to understand, and probably wouldn't even think about it. Now Sister Zhu thought that if she didn't make things clear, Mo Xuanxuan would be played to death without even knowing how she died.

  "You're not young anymore, you've started to enter society, use your eyes to look at people and things, otherwise what's the point of having eyes! I'm very worried about your present and future! Open your eyes and take a good look at this society! Isn't it very realistic?! I never believe in promises, nor do I easily make promises. There's a familiar saying you should know: 'A word once spoken is like water that has been spilled.' But now, big sister, lady, there's an additional sentence: 'And the bowl has been thrown out too!' So, let's wait until everything is settled and confirmed before we talk, okay? It's not that I don't want you to believe, but rather to see how much credibility things have!"

  Zhu sister is now speechless, even words like "big sister" and "auntie" have been said, but how much can Mo Xiao Xiao hear? Nobody knows.

  Zhu sister's scolding was finished, and she also felt that she was exhausted, sitting opposite drinking tea, Mo Xiao buried her head, tears falling pitter-patter.

  "Come on, little sister, tell big sister what's going on in your mind!" Zhu finally started asking questions, having scolded her enough, it was time to get some answers about the turmoil in her little sister's heart.

  "I don't know either, but I just can't let go, sister, please don't force me, okay? I really can't let go." Mo Xuanxuan covered her mouth and cried helplessly.

  "What's the big deal! He's just a man! Nowadays, it's hard to find a three-legged frog on the street, but two-legged men are everywhere! Besides, you're still young, what's the hurry? Your sister isn't even in a rush, what's your hurry?" Zhu sister said helplessly.

  "Maybe it's because of his illness..." Mo Xiao said intermittently.

  As soon as she heard that, Zhu sister sighed with a bitter smile, silly little sister! This is already a cliché plot in TV dramas, and you still believe it!

  "Xiao Xiao, if I were you, when I heard he was sick, I would have laughed. Do you think this is a TV drama? Do you think you're the heroine of a TV drama? Let me tell you, this is just a trick! He says he's sick, then annoys you, gets tired of you, and then tells you he doesn't want to burden you, so he dumps you. He earns a good reputation, and you... stupidly blame yourself! Can't you be less stupid?! Zhu sister was really speechless at her sister's limitless stupidity, Mo Xiao Xiao, can you be any dumber?!"

  "Sister, I know, but..." In the end, Mo Xiao still didn't want to guess or suspect anything.

  "There's nothing to say, but if you still acknowledge me as your sister, then listen to me. Forget the past, put it down. Besides, what can you do if you don't forget and put it down? Others have already abandoned you! Think about it, just because of such a small thing, you can break up, what else can't you break up with? Did he ever believe in you? Did he ever love you? Is this even considered romance? I've never heard of such a reason for breaking up before!" Zhu sister was already furious.

  "Sister, don't force me anymore, okay?" Mo Xiao covered her ears and stood up, wanting to escape. She didn't want to listen anymore. Although she knew her sister was telling the truth, she was unwilling to accept this fact. She was afraid, very afraid.

  "Zhuo, behave yourself! Zhu sister was furious, grabbed Zhuo's arm and slapped him on the ear."

  The two sisters stared at each other with wide eyes, glaring fiercely at one another.

  For the sake of a stranger, hurt the feelings of two sisters for many years.
