Chapter 443 - 134 Opposition becomes enmity Burn bridges_5
For some reason, he felt the man looked familiar, but couldn’t remember where he had seen him before. Seeing Pei Qinghan’s cold demeanor, he decided not to say more.

Kang Jinxian was dropped off by He An, and as she entered the living room, she saw Kang Jinse sitting on the sofa, peeling an orange and watching TV. Jinse greeted her warmly with a wave of her hand.
"Ah Xian, you’re back. Is it hot outside? Aunt Li, please bring a bowl of your chilled sour plum soup for Ah Xian."
"Certainly, Miss Kang."
Kang Jinxian quietly frowned and walked over to sit beside Kang Jinse.
Jinse handed her an orange, "Try this, it was brought back from Wan Nan by a friend of mom’s. It’s freshly picked and very fresh."
Kang Jinxian waved her hand, "I don’t like it much, sis. You should eat it yourself."
Suddenly, Jinse rubbed her belly, "Ah... I don’t know what’s going on, but my stomach keeps hurting for no reason. I hope nothing is wrong with the baby."
Kang Jinxian’s eyes flickered as she asked with concern, "Sis, you can’t be careless about this. How about I take you to the hospital for a checkup?"
Jinse waved her hand indifferently, "It’s so late now, let’s talk about it tomorrow."
"By the way, I heard you’ve signed with Xinghuang; is Gu Cheng your agent?"
"Yes, why do you ask, sister?"
"I happen to have a bit of a relationship with Gu Cheng. I had no idea he was your agent. When we have the time, let’s have a meal together so he looks after you more for my sake."
Your face is worth how much? Kang Jinxian felt contempt deep down, thinking she was unaware. Jinse had a bad reputation in the entertainment circle. Why would Gu Cheng, a top agent, give her any consideration?
However, she said politely, "Thank you, sister. But we’re busy with the finals these days, and might not have much time."
"The finals, huh? You should prepare well. I wish you success and hope you win the championship."
"Thank you, sister."
Such a perfect image of sisterly love and affection.
All of a sudden, Jinse stroked Jinxian’s hair, saying affectionately, "In the blink of an eye, you’ve grown so much. I still remember when you were just born, all wrinkled and so ugly. Now you’ve turned into a beautiful young lady, time flies so fast."
Kang Jinxian hated it when she brought up the past, but she smiled and said, "We are blood sisters, of course I take after you. If the elder sister is beautiful, the younger sister naturally won’t be too bad."
Remembering they are sisters, huh? Where was that thought when you were climbing into my man’s bed and harming my child?
Jinse didn’t want to cut ties so drastically; after all, they were sisters bound by blood. If Ah Xian truly repented, she would still be willing to give her a chance.
So, she tentatively asked, "Ah Xian, have you done anything to wrong me?"
Kang Jinxian was stunned for a moment and looked at Jinse, who was gazing back at her with a gentle look, reminiscent of how their mother used to look at her when she was a child.
She felt a subconscious stir within her, but her rationality soon overtook her emotions. She brushed her hair to the side of her temple and chuckled lightly, "Sister, what are you talking about? How could I ever do anything to wrong you?"
A sudden "thud" in her heart – could her sister have discovered something?
Jinse’s heart sank in an instant; her gaze on Jinxian was deep and complex.
Even at this point, she still wouldn’t admit it.
If that was the case, she couldn’t blame me for disregarding sisterly affection.
"Is that so? I was just asking casually. I watched a TV show recently where two blood sisters turned against each other over a man. It was very disheartening. I thought such things could never happen to us. Don’t you agree?"
As she spoke, she took Jinxian’s hand.
Kang Jinxian’s heart lurched for a moment, fearing that her sister knew something and was using these words to test her. She didn’t show any signs of panic and said with surprise, "Why would you think that, sister? TV dramas are just TV dramas. Am I really such a person in your eyes? Sister, that really hurts. Besides, Yun Shen is my brother. Being with him, wouldn’t that be incest? It goes against all morals, and I would never do such a thing."
Pretending quite well.
Had it been before, Jinse might have actually been deceived by her, but not anymore. She wasn’t going to be that foolish again. She couldn’t help but shudder when she thought back on all the things Jinxian had said and done in the past.
This younger sister, she had always underestimated her. She was a wolf in sheep’s clothing, ready to bite viciously at any moment.
