She Becomes Glamorous After The Engagement Annulment Ⅱ Chapter 118

Chapter 118

Chapter 118: His Dark Eyes Wavered (8)

Qiao Lian stood at the door and her heart hurt as she watched him.

That was her brother.

He broke both of his legs when a pillar fell on him in that huge fire eight years ago. He had never stood up again after that accident.

Both of her parents had died and her only brother ended up in such a state. Her house had been thoroughly burnt, the company had closed down and she was left with no money.

Even the compensation for her parents’ demise got rejected by the bank and they ruled it as suicide.

How did she survive those dark days with her brother?

She quit school, but as she was yet to be of legal age, she could only barely support the both of them by taking up three jobs a day. Her brother’s legs had also missed the best time for treating them because of that.

Her life then had been truly very hard and bitter.

She used to cry out of tiredness every night, when she returned home.

Then, she met Shen Liangchuan.

In the toughest times, every word of his was like a light, brightening up her unknown future.

Thus, no need to ask why she treated Shen Liangchuan so well. Other than the defense feeling she had as a fan for her idol, she was filled with gratitude for him.

Just when Qiao Lian was lost in thoughts, Qiao Yi looked at her. And when he saw her, his eyes shone as he gave a bright smile.

Qiao Lian walked forward and held him. That was when she realized that he seemed to have grown taller.

How long had she not visited?

In her trance, she helped Qiao Yi get on his wheelchair to rest.

Qiao Yi smiled at her and asked, “Sister, why did you come?”

Qiao Lian’s felt a pang of sadness when she heard his words.

The stress in her daily life had caused her to be terribly busy working. Hence, she had few chances of taking care of her brother personally.

It seemed like this was her second time visiting him this month. The last time she had visited him was on the day of his surgery.

She stuck out his hand to pat his hair, but Qiao Yi immediately shunned her. “Sister, don’t touch my head, I’m sweating.”

Qiao Lian couldn’t contain her laughter when she saw how uncomfortable her brother was. “Ok, I’ve bought your favorite chestnuts. Let’s go and have some.”

Qiao Yi looked at the practice beam behind him, wanting to say something, but when he looked at Qiao Lian, he didn’t speak and followed her back into his room like a good boy.

Qiao Lian picked up a chestnut, intending to peel it for him, but she wasn’t able to despite many tries. Thus, she had not choice but use the most primal way, her teeth.

At that moment, Qiao Yi suddenly reached out his hand and pinched the chestnut with his two fingers. The chestnut was immediately split open. He then took out the inside of the chestnut and put it in front of Qiao Lian’s mouth saying, “Sister, eat.”

Qiao Lian smiled, ate it and picked another one up. She had originally thought that Qiao Yi would eat it himself, but he once again offered it to her.

Qiao Lian was stunned. “Xiao Yi, you can have it.”

“Sister, I remember that you like eating chestnuts too.”

Qiao Lian was dazed for a moment, as she smiled and said, “Yes, I’ve forgotten about it.”

She had a very similar food taste to Qiao Yi’s, they both had always liked eating chestnuts since young.

However, due to being financially tight, sometimes she was only able to buy a few. She couldn’t bear to eat them and would leave everything for Qiao Yi.

She would have never expected that he could still remember what she liked.

Qiao Lian smiled and heard Qiao Yi say, “Sister, I’m a man and I’ve grown up. It will be my turn to take care of you in the future.”

Qiao Lian was stunned for a moment and rose her head to look at him.

Qiao Yi was smiling really gently as he reached out his long hand and patted her shoulder. “Sister, if you’re unhappy at your job, just quit it. You have been working very hard for the past eight years, I will take over the remaining things for you.”

Her eyes were suddenly filled to the brim with tears.
