Chapter 164: Chapter 164: The Ancestor Says Desire is the Most Frightening Thing Chapter 164: Chapter 164: The Ancestor Says Desire is the Most Frightening Thing Xiaojie felt that Nana had beco a multimillionaire internet celebrity, and it was all her doing, not related to Nana at all.
Every ti for a video, she had been the one arranging the copywriting, thes, makeup design, and product reviews.
Nana was just more attractive, and that was why she enjoyed such advantages and gained so many fans upfront.
But, Xiaojie thought this was unfair.
Those fans should’ve been hers, and if they were to share profits, she should’ve been the one to take the larger cut. The endless endorsents and variety shows that ca their way should’ve been hers, and the glamour of a star should’ve fallen upon her.
She couldn’t bear to remain as Nana’s assistant forever.
Previously, she had proposed to Nana that she wanted to resign and go solo.
But Nana, citing the many years of partnership between them, refused to let her go, ostensibly to grow and strengthen their business together, to start a beauty internet celebrity company.
Xiaojie thought all of that was deceptive, just Nana’s way of fooling her.
Unwilling to be continually suppressed by Nana with no chance to stand out, Xiaojie orchestrated the event of today.
“She even said, originally, upon hearing sothing about facial features from Nana, she thought about not doing it, but as soon as she thought of Nana getting on stage to be a superstar, she couldn’t help herself and took action anyway!” Yun Xizi found this the most unacceptable.
The motivation behind Xiaojie’s actions was purely her own jealousy.
Nana had truly treated Xiaojie as a good sister.
Nana had made it on her own initially, with Xiaojie joining later.
Decisions regarding topics and such had always been made together, but Xiaojie seed to think she deserved more credit.
Nana did indeed want to start a company together with Xiaojie, and she ant it.
“Nana had confided to privately that she didn’t want to be upfront forever, nor did she want Xiaojie to remain an assistant. Once they started a company, they could both step back and let Xiaojie be the boss…”
But Xiaojie thought Nana had deceived her.
Yun Xizi herself found it absurd and laughable as she spoke.
Xia Xin listened to her crying and babbling on and felt a bit awkward, unsure of how to comfort her.
“Well… you don’t need to be too upset, after all, your friend Nana is fine now, which is great, and Xiaojie has confessed to her cri, hasn’t she?”
Yun Xizi gave a bitter smile, “She might as well not have confessed…”
What she couldn’t accept the most was the sentence Xiaojie spoke before the police took her away after her confession.
She looked at Yun Xizi and said, “Do you know why I didn’t kill her outright but left her in the garbage room instead? I just wanted her to die silently amidst filth and squalor, unnoticed by anyone…”
The amount of glory Nana had received was how pitiful and tragic Xiaojie wanted her death to be.
The place and manner in which she took action had all been ticulously chosen by her.
Yun Xizi was stunned at the ti.
She didn’t understand; there was no deep-seated hatred between Xiaojie and Nana, so why escalate to this extent?
“That… um…” Xia Xin was at a loss for words.
Jiangli’s calm voice suddenly sounded.
“Life has eight sufferings: birth, old age, sickness, death, longing for what one cannot get, resentnt towards those one hates, separation from those one loves, and the churn of the five aggregates. Any of these can turn into excessive desire, which, like a ferocious beast, devours a person’s rationality. Desire is terrifying, and when it’s too much, it can drive one to do unspeakable things.”
Jiangli spat out the lon seed shell from his mouth, “You’ll get used to it as you see more of this kind of thing.”
Yun Xizi: “…”
She didn’t want to witness or get used to such things at all!
Wang Yao was in the midst of drinking water and nearly choked to death upon hearing this.
