Super Sweet, 100\% Honeymoon

Chapter 493: Tit for Tat

Qiao Qianmo pouted unhappily, "If I can’t apologize, then what am I supposed to do?"She had already apologized, and still it wasn’t enough?

As the proud Miss Qiao, she had always been the one others fawned over. From childhood to adulthood, even if she caused a huge disaster, her parents always cleaned up her messes.

When had she ever said sorry to someone her own age?

Ou Mama’s briefly calmed anger flared up again instantly because of Qiao Qianmo’s attitude. "You tell me, what do you think should happen? Look at what you’ve caused—how someone else has ended up! And you don’t even have a shred of remorse!"

...It was just a couple of mosquito bites, why make such a big fuss about it? Not like anyone died.

Thinking this to herself, Qiao Qianmo bit her lower lip and lowered her head.

"Anyway, I’ve already said sorry to you."

Ou Jue looked at her coldly, about to speak, when Xia Xiyan interrupted him with her frosty voice, "How about we find some bugs, let you personally experience being bitten until your body is covered in welts, and then I’ll just toss you a ’sorry’—how about that?"

"You—" Qiao Qianmo glared angrily at Xiyan.

But Xiyan didn’t care much for words like "sorry."

Such vague and meaningless sentiment held no value to her.

An eye for an eye—that was true fairness.

Ou Jue turned to the nearby bodyguards and ordered coldly, "What are you waiting for? Go prepare the bugs."

Wait... really?

Was he seriously going to follow Xia Xiyan’s suggestion?

Qiao Qianmo suddenly panicked. She had been terrified of bugs since she was a child!

She couldn’t bear the thought of being bitten all over like Xia Xiyan!

Qiao Qianmo stomped her foot, "I’m your sister!"

"You should be thankful that you’re my sister," Ou Jue said calmly, his gaze lowering as he casually adjusted his sleeve. "If not for that blood tie, you would already have been chopped into pieces and thrown into the sea to feed the fish."

After all, family ties meant something, and there was still some consideration for the feelings between their parents.

Qiao Qianmo’s tears, which she had just managed to hold back, came flooding to her eyes again because of Ou Jue’s words.

She couldn’t tell if it was the mention of "blood ties" that hurt her more, or the cruel and bloodthirsty remark that followed.

Her heart just felt so heavy.

"Auntie, I really know I’ve done wrong. Please don’t let Ou Jue treat me like this, okay?"

Ou Mama had completely shifted her attitude toward Qiao Qianmo. "This matter isn’t up to me."

From the start, Ou Mama had made it clear that the most important thing to her was character!

If someone lacked good character, then her impression of them would plummet straight to rock bottom!

The misunderstanding she once had about Xiyan’s character was a prime example.

An Ran chimed in softly and smugly, "Maybe if you beg our Xiyan, she might let you off this time."

Beg Xia Xiyan?

What a joke!

Qiao Qianmo clenched her fists tightly. She’d rather be bitten to death by bugs than beg Xia Xiyan!

Just thinking about Xia Xiyan’s father still being missing and her mother being a mistress—

Why should she lower herself to beg this disgusting little brat?!

She’d rather die from bug bites than stoop so low to beg for mercy from someone like that!

Seeing Qiao Qianmo’s stance, Ou Jue couldn’t be bothered to engage further. He instructed the nearby bodyguards, "Take her away."

"Yes, sir!"

"Ou Jue! You can’t treat me like this! Auntie! Let me go! I’m going to call my parents! Let me go—"

Qiao Qianmo was forcibly dragged away.

Tsk tsk, it seemed an eye for an eye was really happening.

Just thinking about Miss Qiao—normally so high and mighty—being deliberately confined and subjected to relentless bug bites until she passed out...

Ugh... the thought made one’s scalp crawl in revulsion.
