Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 2534: Chapter 2528: What Kind of Person Are You, Really?

"Do you think you know me well?" Qin Ying merely turned her head to glance at Qin Xue before looking off into the distance. For years, she had been helping Gu Beihan with his work, never thinking about the future. All she ever imagined for the future was being with Gu Beihan, but later she realized it was nothing more than wishful thinking on her part, as she had no way of winning his favor.

He merely regarded her as a sister, loved her like family, so when she saw Qin Xue, she knew what kind of presence she was—unable to compare, unable to surpass in any respect. Yet now Qin Xue said such words, implying she understood her well?

At moments like this, Qin Ying couldn’t truly hear what Qin Xue was saying. Regardless of what was said, she would deem Qin Xue’s words as lecturing, as boasting.

But Qin Xue felt she had to say what needed to be said; how Qin Ying perceived it was Qin Ying’s own matter.

"Understanding or not, actually, you yourself don’t understand, right? Sometimes it’s very necessary to live for oneself; not everyone can see your virtues. So, women shouldn’t make themselves too cheap. That’s all I have to say. If there’s nothing more, I’ll be leaving now." Qin Xue didn’t want to continue discussing these matters with Qin Ying.

"Originally, I wanted to talk to you about the previous generation’s issues, but surprisingly, it’s the current matters that piqued my interest. I didn’t expect someone who appears so refined would have such thoughts." Upon hearing Qin Xue’s words, Qin Ying glanced at Qin Xue a few more times.

She was unhappy precisely because her heart was set on Gu Beihan. Yet now Qin Xue told her not to make herself too cheap—is this concern for her? Did she truly see through something?

But how is that possible? She hadn’t said anything, hadn’t done anything, right? So how did she see through it?

It’s not that Qin Ying didn’t want to make another friend; it’s just that certain things were beyond her control. Developments had exceeded her expectations, leaving her unsure of how to face them. She didn’t resist connecting with Qin Xue, but as it’d turned out, she became her sister—two people without emotional bonds trying to become close sisters was indeed difficult.

"Even if I’m interested, I don’t have the time to chat leisurely with you. I’m leaving. Goodbye." Qin Xue stood up, no longer delaying, and walked away directly.

"Really interesting, Qin Xue, what kind of person are you really? How can you have so many facets, and so many rare qualities? No wonder he likes you, but why, of all people, are you my sister? What should I do with that?" Qin Ying murmured to herself, watching Qin Xue walk away into the distance.

Sometimes, there’re things everyone avoids facing, but are instead manipulated by fate; people in such moments feel truly distressed—like Qin Ying now, who isn’t malicious enough to want to harm her sister, yet is profoundly troubled inside. These matters torment her into near insanity. But all she can do is watch others living similarly, and she can only live likewise.

Yet who has noticed her inner world? Who has asked her if she’s okay, who has cared about how she’s faring? And yet, it was precisely Qin Xue who voiced such words. This kind of heart-stirring is fatal—a person she doesn’t want to engage with, is actually the one who understands her heart the most; someone who understands her so deeply is still in this adversarial yet unharming relationship—this truly feels like mockery. Why place them in such an awkward position?
