Chapter 1312: You're No Longer a Child

Duan Yanhao looked at how Chi Jiajia acted, like she was correct and did nothing wrong. It wasn't the first time she acted this way.

He could ignore it in the past, but thinking about how Bai Yaoyao had once been hurt, in addition to the words she heard today, he was afraid that she would do something silly.

Duan Yanhao said coldly and sternly, "Chi Jiajia, you've never treated the deceased as your real elder sister. If I don't care for another woman, am I supposed to care for you?"

Chi Jiajia stared disbelievingly at Duan Yanhao, "Brother Yanhao, I…"

"Chi Jiajia, you're not a child anymore. I will let this matter go, but I hope I don't see you again in the future."

Duan Yanhao said such cruel words, causing Chi Jiajia's expression to pale in anger. She gaped in disbelief, unable to comprehend why her brother-in-law would say such words to her.

Chi Jiajia's tears fell. "Brother Yanhao, how could you speak to me that way? I'm your younger sister, Jiajia! How could you treat me in this manner because of an outsider? Elder Sister even asked you to take care of me."

The moment Chi Jiajia mentioned her elder sister, Duan Yanhao could feel a chill going through his heart.

He looked at Chi Jiajia before sighing. "Chi Jiajia, you always use your elder sister as a s.h.i.+eld. You cannot use her as a reason to act rashly. Your elder sister was so good, so why are you…" He did not continue with his words, afraid that he would hurt her too deeply.

After pausing, Duan Yanhao continued, "Chi Jiajia, your elder sister took care of you back then because you were still a young girl. But now that you're all grown up, you shouldn't be so stubborn."

"Brother Yanhao, I'm not being stubborn. I didn't do anything, Brother Yanhao…"

Duan Yanhao sighed as he shook his head. "Chi Jiajia, you don't even know where you're wrong."

Resignation was thick in his voice, as though he thought of Chi Jiajia as a lost cause. "Chi Jiajia, a mature lady would never use the deceased in their arguments. They would never try to hurt another person unreasonably, nor would they say things to intentionally wound them. Do you understand?"

Chi Jiajia continued to shake her head, saying between sobs, "Brother Yanhao, I didn't. I really didn't."

He had a certain degree of understanding of Chi Jiajia, so he knew that she was just using her tears to garner sympathy.

That was why he did not comfort her, turning around without a word to search for Bai Yaoyao.

Even when Chi Jiajia stomped her feet and wailed from behind him, he did not turn around.

Chi Jiajia threw her bag on the floor angrily. She liked Brother Yanhao so much. Initially, she thought that as long as she waited for a few years, he would forget about her elder sister and they could be together.

But now, she realized that it wasn't that Brother Yanhao forgot about her elder sister, rather, he had another woman by his side.

That woman drove her crazy in jealousy at first sight. She had always thought of herself as a beautiful person, but when she saw her, she realized that there were always people more beautiful than herself.

Her beauty was exquisite, like an art piece. Even if she did not want to admit it, her heart was envious beyond measure.

Especially when she saw Brother Yanhao rush after her without hesitation, she became more jealous, staring daggers at his departing figure.

Later, after the saleslady had packed the two gowns, she said to Chi Jiajia, "Miss, the two gowns are ready."

Chi Jiajia took out her credit card and said, "Use this card and tear these two gowns into shreds."

The saleslady took the card and paused, not understanding what Chi Jiajia meant.
