Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat! Chapter 341 - 39: The Doomed Sister-in-law in the Group-Pamp

"The north wind blows, the snowflakes flutter.

The snowflakes float as the years go by,

The wind sweeps the snow outside the door,

The wind knocks on the door open..."

Xie Yumian sang and danced, her steps light yet ensuring her voice remained gentle. However, as she sang this line, she suddenly spun around and kicked over a prop table next to her. The burning kerosene lamp on the table spilled over the oil droplets, rapidly spreading to the backdrop curtains behind.

The curtains were dry, and the flas shot up three feet high. The first audience mber who noticed imdiately shouted to alert them. But on stage, Xie Yumian hadn’t reacted, continuing her jumping and singing, unaware that she had ssed up the lyrics.

It wasn’t until she felt a searing heat behind her that she finally turned her head to look. Her voice caught in her throat, her face filled with shock and panic, as she looked around in a disheveled state.

She subconsciously looked towards Xu Zhe’an in the audience, realizing he just sat there watching indifferently. His back was straight, and his military uniform made him look so handso and unreachable. Noticing the lack of recognition for her in his eyes, most of Xie Yumian’s heart grew cold, feeling as if all she had done was foolish, a waste.

It wasn’t until soone pulled her away that Xie Yumian despondently left the stage, imdiately facing the anger of the literary troupe’s leader.

Because of Xie Yumian, the showcase performance of the arts show was ruined. This year’s performance had even more important figures attending than previous years. Everyone had rehearsed tirelessly for over a month for this, and now it was all destroyed.

Xie Yumian hung her head, unable to say a word, her eyes brimming with tears, her fists clenched, her whole body trembling.

Jiang Lai, a married woman, not only took away her dearest third brother but now also wanted to take her beloved. How could such a woman sit innocently in the audience? Is there no justice in this world?!

Seeing Xie Yumian’s crumbling figure, the troupe’s leader could only sigh bitterly and briefly said.

"It’s over! Go back!"

What could be done at this point?!

He only regretted assigning such an important role to Xie Yumian! Truly a lapse in judgnt, the lead role was already chosen. Xie Yumian was originally just a supporting actress, but before the performance, the lead sprained an ankle and couldn’t perform. That’s when the pretty and talented Xie Yumian appeared.

He didn’t know why he chose Xie Yumian out of all the girls in the literary troupe, soone with no background and no professional training!

Initially, he thought of applying to have Xie Yumian officially join the arts troupe after the performance, but now, let alone joining, he didn’t even want to see her!

Outside the theater, the chill of early autumn hit, and Xie Yumian shivered, realizing her situation, as she looked back, tears streaming down.

Finished.

All finished.

The opportunities within reach, the feelings she painstakingly nurtured, all destroyed by a countryside woman!

It was bearable when she tortured everyone at ho, but why wouldn’t she spare her here?

A curse, if she was a blessing, then Jiang Lai was a curse ant just for her!

Rushing outside, she happened to see Xu Zhe’an standing by the roadside.

Xie Yumian walked up without hesitation, collecting herself to muster a smile.

"Brother Xu, what a coincidence."

"After you and Jingyi ca to our house, you even sent a letter."

Xu Zhe’an, hearing her, was montarily puzzled and only recalled who this girl was after she continued speaking.

"Hmm, hello, are you here to perform?"

Thinking of the performance, embarrassnt flushed Xie Yumian’s face, and she quickly changed the subject.

"Yes, I saw you in the audience; oh, by the way, the person sitting next to you looked familiar, she seed like my sister-in-law."

Xu Zhe’an instinctively asked back.

"Sister-in-law, which sister-in-law?"

Xie Yumian no longer cared about trying to matchmake Xu Jingyi and Xie Jian to get closer to Xu Zhe’an, she just wanted to tell Xu Zhe’an everything so he could see Jiang Lai’s true nature.

No matter what, Jiang Lai must have used so unspeakable ans to sit beside Xu Zhe’an.

She believed that if everyone knew the real Jiang Lai, she would never have the chance to sit next to Xu Zhe’an again.

"I’m pretty sure I wasn’t mistaken, she’s indeed my third sister-in-law. You saw my third brother last ti, that’s her."

Third sister-in-law.

A sliver of indescribable regret crossed Xu Zhe’an’s heart, but his face remained calm, serene.

"Hmm, your third brother married quite an impressive wife."

Hearing this, Xie Yumian wished she could pry open Xu Zhe’an’s eyes to see Jiang Lai’s true colors.

"Yes, my sister-in-law is indeed impressive, married into our family and got my brother to split the household. All the money my mother saved for decades went to building them a brick house. Now my mother is bedridden, needing care for all her als, and I haven’t seen my sister-in-law, yet surprisingly see her here."

She thought Xu Zhe’an would see Jiang Lai’s true self after hearing this.

Xu Zhe’an remained impassive, his expression unemotional.

"Hmm, a woman truly focused on her career shouldn’t be shackled by household trivialities."

The things Xie Yumian said seed innocuous to him; after all, given his background, he didn’t understand the petty sches of rural folks, he only found her talk loud and irritating.

How could she freely discuss her sister-in-law’s issues with an outsider like him, and with nothing but trivial drivel?

The car arrived, Xu Zhe’an said.

"Goodbye."

Then he imdiately boarded, with no intention of continuing the conversation with Xie Yumian.

The driver at the front looked back.

"Commander, the young lady was waving, should I turn back?"

"No need, keep going."

Xie Yumian silently watched the car leave, feeling an inexplicable resentnt, as if knowing things shouldn’t be this way.

Returning ho, seeing the house completely altered by her two sisters-in-law, Xie Yumian’s heart felt bleak, unable to see the path forward.

She thought of being alone to calm down for a mont. But as she pushed open her room door, an indescribable, mixed sll hit her, presenting a jumbled scene to her eyes.

All of her parents’ belongings had been moved into her room. Her once spacious and bright space was now divided in two by a plastic curtain. Her bed was shoved into the corner, while her parents’ bed was outside. Besides, a stove had been built where her desk used to be.

It was clear her parents ate directly on her desk usually. The once spotless table she maintained was now covered in grease and dust.
