238 A Great Enemy

“Why are you so fierce? She didn’t provoke you!” Kong Yue said as she turned to look at Su Qing. She softened her voice and persuaded, “Qingqing, there’s indeed something wrong with your fifth brother’s attitude just now, but this is also because he cares about you. Don’t be angry with him first. Let’s talk things through slowly!”

Su Qing glanced at her mother and shook her head, but she didn’t say anything. She felt that it was indeed difficult to communicate with her fifth brother tonight.

Su Qian stood in front of Su Qing and looked at her. However, he felt that he was already at a disadvantage.

He was so angry that he wished he could catch Huo Qi and beat him up so that the latter wouldn’t covet his good sister anymore! Yet Su Qing only frowned from the beginning to the end, as though she didn’t take his words and anger to heart!

Su Qian sighed. He even felt like a lonely clown, and Su Qing was the indifferent audience.

“Fifth Brother, you’re not calm enough now. We shouldn’t talk about this now,” Su Qing said calmly and stood up, then glanced at Su Qian and added, “Huo Qi might not be a good person, but he’s definitely not the kind of person you’re talking about! It’s not fair for you to view him with such prejudice.”

Actually, Su Qing had no intention of speaking up for Huo Qi or standing up for him. She just felt that her fifth brother’s perspective was a little biased. This wasn’t good.

However, in Su Qian’s opinion, her current attitude and expression were simply that of stubbornness.

“I’m not calm?! We can’t talk about this now?!” Su Qian felt that his lungs were about to explode from anger because of Su Qing. He snorted coldly and continued sarcastically, “I think the person who can’t calm down is you! What have you been doing with Huo Qi for the past two days? Why do you seem like a different person the moment you come back? You’re protecting him and speaking up for him at every turn? Has your mind been poisoned by him?”

Su Qing looked at the angry and aggressive Su Qian and felt a little depressed. However, in front of Kong Yue, she didn’t want to argue too much with him. She turned around and said coldly, “Just take care of yourself. It’s none of your business what happens to me.”

Actually, Su Qing had never expressed that she wanted to have anything to do with Huo Qi. Yet, Su Qian and Kong Yue were vigilant as though they were facing a great enemy.

This was especially so for Su Qian, who had been pointing fingers at her and commenting about everything negatively!

Su Qing’s mood was doused in cold water by her brother. She didn’t like to be controlled by others, and she wasn’t a fool. She had her own judgment and believed what she saw. Of course, she wasn’t so protective of Huo Qi because he had said something to her or bewitched her.

She was just telling the truth!

Su Qian was very angry because he couldn’t accept that Su Qing didn’t acknowledge his opinion. Su Qing didn’t have a better solution, so she could only choose to avoid him for the time being and wait for him to calm down.

However, Su Qing didn’t know that her fifth brother also had such a stubborn temper.

Su Qian was the youngest son of the Su family. He was born into a rich family and grew up with the love of his parents and brothers. He also worked in a special profession and enjoyed the pursuit and obedience of others. He was usually lively, bright, and easy to talk to because he was happy.

But today’s matter had clearly exceeded his expectations. Su Qing wouldn’t obey him, and he wouldn’t let his sister, who he had been reunited with after so much pain, be abducted by an old man from outside. Even if he was just coveting her now, it wouldn’t do! He wouldn’t allow his sister to have any special thoughts about this old man.

Su Qian didn’t expect Su Qing’s attitude to be so tough, as though she had eaten a dumbbell! After hearing Su Qing’s last sentence, Su Qian was so angry that he almost flew into the sky.

What did she mean by ‘Just take care of yourself’. It’s none of your business what happens to me’?! They were siblings, and were the closest people in the world! Did Su Qing never take him to heart when she said this? He couldn’t even compare to an outsider who she had only met a few times?

Su Qian was still sulking in silence, not even realizing that he had fallen into a blind spot. His eyes were red with anger, and his chest was heaving rapidly because of his extreme anger.
