When She Stops Being Dramatic novel Chapter 370

Chapter 370: Chapter 136: The Green Tea Female Supporting Character in a Period Novel (23)

The anger on Chi Yun’er’s face hadn’t faded as she retorted, "Who do you think you are?"

"I’m the one who never had any interest in a moocher like Jiang Zishi from the very beginning. How did I suddenly become the one who’s clinging to him?"

"And another thing—what do you mean, I’m just settling? Brother Hua is leagues better than Jiang Zishi!"

Bian Yumin sighed softly. With Chi Yun’er’s attention fixed on her, she subtly guided her toward a darker corner.

Holding a handkerchief she’d prepared earlier, she tied it to a small branch behind her back. To any onlooker, it would simply look like the hem of her dress fluttering in the evening breeze.

Chi Yun’er was tense, her full attention captivated by the woman before her. She didn’t notice the other’s subtle movements, but her face was etched with displeasure, determined to win the argument.

Bian Yumin shook her head. "Chi, I admit you’re prettier and smarter than me, but when it comes to judging men, you can’t see as clearly as I can."

"Do you think that just because Zishu’s brother is outstanding, he must be a good person?"

"No one ever said ’outstanding’ is a synonym for ’good person.’ There are plenty of high-IQ criminals out there! They were born to the same parents and raised in the same environment. Considering what Zishu is like, Brother Hua’s character can’t be all that different."

"I’m sure you’ve heard that Jiang Yihua has severe gynophobia. He can’t get close to women, or his life would be in danger. Under those circumstances, how could he possibly have accepted you?"

"I refuse to believe that a love that transcends life and death truly exists in this world!"

Chi Yun’er lifted her chin slightly. "Of course, it’s because I’m beautiful and smart. And our families are a good match, which makes me the perfect person for him to marry."

Bian Yumin laughed in amusement. "That’s not it. Your personality is too straightforward for secret arrangements. He had no other choice, and that’s why people mistakenly think you two are a couple."

"Zishu told me that even with his gynophobia, his brother has plenty of women fawning over him. And his brother often secretly accepts their kindness, letting each one think she’s the special one who can help Jiang Yihua overcome his psychological and physical barriers."

"But these women were all unloved by their families, or had no one to stand up for them. Coincidentally, they disappeared one by one. Before they vanished, each one would mysteriously leave behind a letter to dispel any suspicion, saying they were going to stay with relatives or something of the sort..."

"Zishu is worried that his brother isn’t as outstanding and righteous as he seems. He’s afraid that because of his own physical and psychological defects, he’s become twisted—miserable himself, he doesn’t want anyone else to be happy either. He’s worried his brother has violated and murdered these women, or even sold them off..."
