Qin Xiangi sniffed with her tiny nose, that contemptuous look just like Hu Li’s. She snatched the twig directly from Qin Xiangnuan’s hand and started playing with it herself.
"You have a bug on your head."
The sudden statent from Qin Xiangnuan turned Qin Xiangi’s face pale imdiately,
"Mom... Mom..."
She was terrified of bugs.
"Shall I get it off for you?" Qin Xiangnuan walked over, blocking the light in front of Qin Xiangi.
"Then why don’t you help , take it off, quick..."
Qin Xiangi was squinting, her little tender face completely pale, her tears and snot sared everywhere.
Qin Xiangnuan reached out her hand, truly wanting to scratch that face. She hated, she truly hated, she hated Qin Guohua, hated Hu Li, and also hated Qin Xiangi. She abhorred every mber of the Qin Family, detested everyone with the surna Qin so much that she wished she could flay them all, peel their skin, eat their flesh, drink their blood.
But in the end, she held back.
She knew if she dared to harm a single hair on Qin Xiangi’s head, Hu Li would definitely take her life.
"Naughty girl, did you get the bug off?" Qin Xiangi’s voice was originally pleasant, but because of the term "naughty girl," it beca sowhat shrill and grating.
"The bug has fallen on your neck, don’t move, be careful it bites you."
Qin Xiangi was truly scared. Her little body curled up into a ball, not daring to move anymore, fearful that just like what Qin Xiangnuan said, the bug would bite her.
Qin Xiangnuan undid Qin Xiangi’s cotton coat, which was new and filled with fresh cotton, very soft. But she and her brother had been wearing the sa old cotton coats for years, nobody to nd them at first, and now she nded clothes by herself, at last, no more cotton was sticking out from their finery.
She pulled open the collar and indeed, there was a red string inside. She took out the red string, and hanging from it was a jade pendant, the size of a little fingernail. The jade was coated with a swirling hue, with mist-like patterns flowing, appearing neither fully green nor fully white, but the jade’s quality was exceptionally good.
Holding it in her hand felt slightly cold, but it was a very comfortable chill.
She wanted to untie the red string, but it was tied with a dead knot at the back of the neck, very solid and unable to be removed.
Her eyes darkened slightly, she took a small pair of scissors from her body, and silently, she cut the string, securing the jade pendant in her hand, while the red string was still hanging around Qin Xiangi’s neck.
"Is it gone?" Qin Xiangi opened her eyes, intending to ask if the bug had been removed, but as she turned her head, the clipped red string fell to the ground. She touched her neck, and suddenly, she began to scream shrilly.
"You took my jade, give it back to , give it back, it’s mine, my mom gave it to ."
Qin Xiangnuan stepped back, gripping the jade pendant in her palm tightly.
Qin Xiangi lunged at her, but after all, she was just a child, and Qin Xiangnuan, though thin, was agile. Qin Xiangi never managed to even catch the corner of Qin Xiangnuan’s clothes. Soon, Qin Xiangi sat down on the ground in frustration and started to shriek loudly.
"Mom, Mom... The naughty girl stole my jade, she stole my jade..."
"Naughty girl, dare you bully my ii?"
Hu Li, hearing her daughter’s cry, hurriedly ran out from the house.
