Chapter 289: Chapter 279: Qiao Jing is My Real Sister
“I'm Xiuxiang’s good friend who grew up with her at the orphanage, Qiao Jing,” Qiao Jing said with an aloof face
that revealed no emotion whatsoever.
Jiang Ning sneered and her gaze toward Qiao Jing beceven more disdainful and contemptuous. She had
thought she was facing a delicate lady raised in a greenhouse, like a tender flower, only to find out she was an
orphan raised in an orphanage!
Her tone becsharp and harsh.
“What are you pestering my sister for?”
Qiao Jing, expressionless, replied, “She said she’s not going back with you.”
Jiang Ning rolled her eyes at Qiao Jing.
“She just hasn't thought it through, and besides, what's it to you?”
She turned to speak to Lin Xiuxiang, but her eyes kept darting towards Qiao Jing.
The words that followed were meant not only for Lin Xiuxiang but also for Qiao Jing to hear.
“You are now a wealthy heiress too; in the future, don’t hang out with these poor people. It's obvious she has no
class. Why does she interrupt when we sisters are talking? She really thinks she’s somebody.”
Qiao Jing glanced indifferently at Jiang Ning, not bothering to speak. She didn’t take these words to heart.
Lin Xiuxiang, protected behind her, frowned tightly. Jiang Ning’s words were too offensive, and even as her real
sister, she shouldn't speak to Qiao Jing like that.
Xiuxiang was well aware of how good Qiao Jing had been to her, treating her like a real sister, incomparably
better than this so-called biological sister!
She absolutely wouldn't allow anyone to insult Qiao Jing!
Just then,
Jiang Ning glared at Qiao Jing maliciously and tried to take Lin Xiuxiang away, bypassing her.
Qiao Jing stood firm like a solid wall of flesh, blocking Jiang Ning at every turn, preventing her from approaching
Lin Xiuxiang.
Jiang Ning, frustrated, pushed at Qiao Jing, trying to shove her away, while uttering all sorts of nasty words.
“Are you skind of pauper who can’t understand human language? Lin Xiuxiang and | are blood sisters. Not
only did you interrupt our conversation, but you also won't lettake her home?”
“Move aside quickly, keep your distance. Don’t let that stench of poverty rub off on me.”
Qiao Jing slightly sidestepped, causing Jiang Ning to lunge at empty air.

Jiang Ning was going too far!
Lin Xiuxiang took a step forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with Qiao Jing, and shouted at Jiang Ning, “You
have no right to talk about Qiao Qiao!”
Qiao Jing quickly responded, showing a faint smile, and a warm current flowed once again into her heart.
But Jiang Ning was far from calm, looking at Lin Xiuxiang with a face full of shock.
“What do you mean by that? I'm your real sister, okay? Why are you taking the side of an outsider? Also, make it
clear, I'm here to take you home, it’s her who's been stopping me, understand?!”
Chen Jingling, who had been silent up until now, also spoke up in support of Jiang Ning.
“Xiuxiang, she’s your sister. How can you take the side of an outsider?”
Qiao Jing didn’t feel like saying anything to these two thick-skinned people, nor did she want to interrupt what
Lin Xiuxiang was saying.
At this moment, it was certain Xiuxiang wanted to say more.
Lin Xiuxiang faced Jiang Ning and Chen Jingling calmly and composedly.
“Qiao Qiao is my best friend. When | was at my lowest, she was the one who helped me. There was a twhen |
had a high fever of forty degrees, and for three full days, the fever didn’t subside. It was Qiao Qiao who stayed
by my side day and night. What about you?”
Jiang Ning, when questioned, looked away, but she had reasons to refute Lin Xiuxiang, murmuring
discontentedly.
“I didn’t know about any of this.”
Lin Xiuxiang wasn’t phased by Jiang Ning’s response, her eyes slightly reddening, her voice trembling ever so
slightly as she spoke.
“You gave birth to a brother and abandonedfor over twenty years. Now you just want to swoop in and take
“What are you to me? What right do you have to takeaway or insult my friend? Make it clear, it was the
orphanage that raised me. It was she who grew up with me.”
Xiuxiang paused, took a deep breath to control her emotions, and spoke slowly but firmly.
“Not you.”
Jiang Ning was extremely angered by Xiuxiang’s words. She had never seen someone so foolish and retorted
displeasedly.
“But | am your biological sister, a sister related by blood. She’s just a stranger, with no blood relation to you
whatsoever.”
Xiuxiang, with a steadfast gaze, looked directly at Jiang Ning, her words resonating with conviction.
“In my eyes, Qiao Qiao is my real sister. Go ahead, leave. I'm not going back with you. | have a good life here.”
Jiang Ning clenched her fists tightly and took several deep breaths to calm down before questioning Xiuxiang
again.
“I'll give you one last chance. Are you coming or not?”
Her sister hadn't even returned home, yet she was already turning her back on them. What a burden to bring
home! Wouldn't it be like carrying a heavy load?
Seeing Xiuxiang like this, it was very likely that she would becan ingrate in the future. Why on earth did her
parents insist on taking her back?!
Xiuxiang turned her back, not bothering with Jiang Ning anymore, and walked away without looking back, holding
Qiao Jing’s hand.
“Qiao Qiao, don't leave tonight. How about | cook you something delicious? You've just been discharged from the
hospital. I'll make you a black chicken soup to nourish your body.”
Qiao Jing smiled and nodded his head, saying affectionately, “I'll listen to you.”
The two entered the room and closed the door.

Chen Jingling was also dissatisfied with Xiuxiang’s behavior and walked outside with Jiang Ning.
“She has decided to stay here, so let her. She chose to be a poor person. Why bother convincing her? Let's go
take care of business first.”
Jiang Ning huffed coldly and followed Chen Jingling out.

Well, she better not regret it later and beg to be taken home!
Xiuxiang brought out the black chicken soup she had prepared and placed it on the table.
“I'd planned to cook it and bring it to you, but since you cover first, there’s no need forto deliver it.”
Qiao Jing served Xiuxiang a bowl of soup and pushed it in front of her.
“You're the chef, you've worked hard. You drink first.”
Xiuxiang smiled sheepishly and served herself a bowl.
“Who am | to be called a chef? If only my cooking was half as delicious as yours.”
The two finished their lunch in a pleasant atmosphere, tacitly avoiding the topic of the earlier incident.
Having made their decision, that matter was now in the past.
Qiao Jing thought it over. Although Xiuxiang didn’t say it, she must still be concerned about the Jiang Ning issue.
She decided to take Xiuxiang out for a stroll, to clear her mind.
“Let's go to the mall? And maybe stop by the snack street for streats.”
