Chapter 286 Why are you always doing better than me?
The car was parked on a secluded suburban street.
There were no buildings around.
Looking in the rearview mirror, An Ying noticed that the driver had put on a mask at some point, covering most of his face.
Her heart sank suddenly.
The driver wasn't wearing a mask when I got on the bus...
Could it be that... the driver has changed?
An Ying's heart suddenly raced, her gaze fixed on the familiar eyes in the rearview mirror.
The more I looked at it, the more I felt something was wrong.
Those eyes, those facial features, seemed familiar.
Suddenly, the driver abruptly pulled down his mask.
It's An Xiaoxiao.
An Xiaoxiao smiled, her eyes filled with mockery and provocation.
"Sister, I heard you're getting engaged today. Such a great day, and you didn't even send me and Dad an invitation?"
“We are not related by blood, but what you did is truly disheartening.”
An Ying stared coldly at An Xiaoxiao in the front row, her eyes devoid of any smile.
"The invitation was arranged by Fu Chengli; I was unaware of it."
An Xiaoxiao lazily rested her hands on the steering wheel.
Her gaze pierced through the windshield, looking out at the empty streets in the distance.
His eyes were empty and cold.
"Sister," she suddenly spoke, her voice light and airy, as if talking to herself.
"Why...why are you always doing better than me?"
There was a hint of resentment in her tone.
"From childhood to adulthood, you've always been better than me in every way."
An Xiaoxiao's voice gradually rose, and the end of her voice trembled slightly.
"Your grades are better than mine, and your teachers and classmates all like you. You are always so outstanding and dazzling, while I... I will always live in your shadow. No matter how hard I try or how desperately I work, I can never be as good as you."
"When we grew up, your job was better than mine, your life was better than mine, and even the man you chose... was better than the man I chose. When you were with Lu Qiyao, I racked my brains to break you up. Finally, I successfully snatched Lu Qiyao away. When it came time for our engagement, you ruined my engagement party."
"I thought that after you made such a scene at your engagement party and were fired by Lu Qiyao, your life would plummet and no man in the entire North City would ever like you again, but..."
"Fu Chengli, he's so outstanding, so perfect, why... why does all the good things fall on your head?!"
An Xiaoxiao's voice grew softer and softer.
His gaze gradually turned cold and sharp.
"Sister, I'm so jealous!"
An Xiaoxiao tugged at the corners of her lips, her voice sounding as if she were about to cry.
An Ying's expression turned cold.
"An Xiaoxiao, what's wrong with you?! Take me back to the Marriott Hotel right now!"
An Ying's voice carried an unquestionable tone.
The car fell silent again.
An Xiaoxiao grew increasingly furious: "What right do you have to order me around! When you ruined my engagement party at the Marriott Hotel, didn't you think of this day? You still expect your engagement to go smoothly?! So, sister, don't blame me..."
An Ying took a deep breath, her voice filled with suppressed anger: "An Xiaoxiao, what exactly do you want? Why did you have to choose today to cause me trouble?"
"Ha ha ha ha........."
An Xiaoxiao laughed maniacally, bouncing up and down in the driver's seat, her whole body convulsing.
She seemed to have truly lost her mind.
"Sister, why are you in such a hurry? I just want to introduce you to someone, an... old friend."

Before An Ying could react, the car door was suddenly pulled open.
A dirty, calloused hand suddenly reached in and ruthlessly dragged An Ying out of the car.
Her phone was also thrown out and hit the ground, the screen shattering instantly.
An Ying instinctively reached for her phone and called Fu Chengli for help.
However, a tall, dark figure had already blocked her way.
She looked up and saw a rough and ugly face.
His face was covered in wrinkles, and he was blind in one eye. The only eye that could be opened gleamed with a nauseating malice.
An Ying was struck dumb, frozen in place, unable to move.
That face was all too familiar to her—
It was etched in her mind, and she could never forget it.
It was when she was twelve years old that the man who tried to assault her, her teacher, Wang Cheng.
Yes, that's the name.
The horrifying memories of the past swept back like a tidal wave, instantly engulfing her.
Twelve years old, summer day.
Inside the swimming pool, there was a faint, putrid smell from the bleach.
That day, she fought back with all her might, stabbing the man in the stomach with a pair of scissors before fleeing in panic.
An Ying thought he was dead, and that the nightmare was finally over.
But now, this old man is standing in front of her again.
Wang Cheng grinned menacingly, gripping An Ying's arm tightly with one hand while slowly lifting his coat with the other.
He revealed the ugly scar on his stomach.
"You didn't expect that, did you? I'm still alive."
The man's voice was rough and hoarse.
With a nauseating smugness.
"So many years have passed, and you are still so beautiful, An Ying."
An Ying was suddenly jolted awake from her reverie.
A voice kept telling her in her head, "Run!"
But my legs felt weak.
The scene before my eyes began to blur, as if the whole world was spinning.
An Xiaoxiao stood aside, observing everything with a cold eye.
She stepped forward and grabbed An Ying's long hair.
He leaned close to her ear and said sarcastically, "Sister, do you think you can get rid of me by being recognized by the Gu family and marrying Fu Chengli? How naive. You'll never get rid of me."
An Ying practically spat out those words through clenched teeth: "What exactly do you want to do...?"
Wang Cheng grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth: "Of course I'm here to collect a debt. You stabbed me in the back back then, causing me to live such a miserable life for the past ten years. Of course, I'm going to get my revenge."
"An Ying, you don't know, do you? I've been following you for a long time..."
track?
Could the unseen dark figure I saw near my home before be him?!
Has the demon Wangcheng been eyeing me for so long?
"let me go!"
An Ying struggled and suddenly moved away from An Xiaoxiao, backing away repeatedly.
But the strength of the royal city was too great.
She had just managed to create some distance when Wang Cheng grabbed her again and dragged her toward the roadside.
An Xiaoxiao's laughter faded into the distance along with the sound of the car engine starting.
An Xiaoxiao abandoned An Ying and ran away.
An Ying's vision went black for a moment.
All I could hear was my own rapid breathing and heartbeat.
No, she must live!
A glance from the corner of my eye swept over it.
Ahead was a steep staircase.
An Ying grabbed Wang Cheng's arm and pushed him down the stairs with all her might.
Wang Cheng lost his balance and cursed, "You bitch!"
The man slapped An Ying on the head.
That slap was too hard.
An Ying felt her feet suddenly give way and she fell backward.
"Ah—" Before her scream could even finish, her body had already fallen heavily to the ground.
Her head slammed hard against the stone at the corner of the stairs.
Blood slowly trickled down her forehead.
A sharp pain shot through my forehead, and my vision went completely black.
Her consciousness gradually faded, and in her hazy state, she seemed to hear the sound of an ambulance and hurried footsteps...
