Chapter 589: For whom do we live?

Chu Tian’s arrival gave the girl a glimmer of hope, as she was gentle and kind, and clearly not the same type as Chu Jin.

The girl subconsciously stood by Chu Tian’s side, reaching out to grasp the hem of her clothes, her body trembling slightly.

Chu Tian gently patted her shoulder and said softly, "Don’t be afraid, we’re all schoolmates here, and my sister is so nice, she won’t lower herself to argue with you."

Between the lines, Chu Tian was expressing how good Chu Jin was, acting as if they had a very close relationship.

As the saying goes, love me, love my dog.

Seeing Chu Tian defend Chu Jin in such a way naturally made everyone think highly of Chu Tian.

"Thank you," the girl said softly, yet she wondered, were Chu Tian and Chu Jin really sisters? Why were they so different from each other?

Chu Tian was understanding; Chu Jin, on the other hand, was unreasonably unforgiving!

It was clear that she was being kept, yet she wouldn’t let anyone mention it!

And yet Chu Tian still insisted that Chu Jin was kind!

If Chu Jin was truly kind, why would she bother with such trivialities with others?

Chu Tian was indeed naive!

The onlookers were also somewhat confused.

When did Chu Jin suddenly have a younger sister?

Everyone was talking.

"I know her, she’s Chu Tian from class six."

"Isn’t she the girl who came in second during the wilderness training?"

"Yeah, that’s her, she even gave a speech at the end."

"Actually, the chance to speak was given to her by Brother Jin; if not for Brother Jin, she would never have had the chance to go on stage."

"Chu Tian, Chu Jin, they couldn’t possibly be real sisters, could they?"

"They don’t look anything alike."

"Chu Tian is quite pretty too."

"Worthy of being Brother Jin’s sister!"

"But I still prefer Brother Jin a little more."

"She seems so gentle."

"..."

Hearing the various discussions around her, Chu Tian’s lips curled silently.

"You’re welcome," Chu Tian patted the girl’s arm, saying with a gentle face, "The person you should be thankful to is not me, but my sister. Remember not to talk nonsense in the future, lest you bring disaster on yourself with your own words."

Hearing this, Chu Jin looked towards Chu Tian with a faint smile, saying in an even tone, "You’re calling me sister? When did I forget that I had a younger sister?"

Chu Tian was clearly up to no good; she knew Chu Jin wouldn’t let such a matter of reputation slide so easily, so she deliberately praised herself in front of everyone as understanding and above petty squabbles with schoolmates.

If Chu Jin persisted with the issue, it would make people feel she was petty and narrow-minded.

If Chu Jin followed suit and just let the girl go, that would play right into Chu Tian’s hands, allowing her to successfully curry favor in front of everyone.

So, no matter what decision Chu Jin made, Chu Tian would be the one to benefit.

Chu Tian was indeed clever, her scheming profound.

Actually, Chu Tian was just using her to make a lasting impression in everyone’s eyes.

She was laying the groundwork for a plan she had in the future.

Chu Tian was a person of both good and evil.

The good thing was, she would kindly warn her before a disaster.

The evil part was, from the very first meeting, she had been using her.

It was hard to see her true intentions.

What exactly did she want to do?

However, if she was planning to use herself to show face in front of everyone again, it wouldn’t be so easy.

"Could it be..." Chu Jin continued, "you’re the illegitimate daughter my dad had outside?"

Chu Tian was taken aback; she hadn’t expected Chu Jin to suddenly ask such a question.

Things weren’t developing in the direction she had anticipated.

Chu Jin seemed different somehow.

Where exactly was the difference?

Illegitimate daughter?

Seizing the phrase, the onlookers’ eyes nearly glowed; so Chu Tian was not Chu Jin’s sister!

And judging by Chu Jin’s expression, it seemed like she didn’t particularly like Chu Tian.

The scene was set for a good show.

Could it be that Chu Tian truly was an illegitimate child?

"I’m sorry, sister, that’s not what I meant..." Chu Tian immediately lowered her eyes to apologize, showing utter humility.

The one who apologizes first often gains the sympathy of the crowd.

Having lived a second life, Chu Tian was no longer the naive country girl she used to be.

In this world, only the strong survive.

The strong climb to the highest place by stepping over skeletons and wading through blood.

This world is all about using and being used by others.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have met such a miserable end in her previous life.

Both reborn, Chu Jin was a hundred times stronger than her; why couldn’t others see her?

It was Chu Jin who stole the halo that rightfully belonged to her.

If not for her, she herself would be the shining one.

Feeling the intense hatred emanating from Chu Tian, the system voice in her mind gave a reminder.

[Host, a reminder not to have direct confrontations with Chu Jin. I’ve said it many times, your rebirth is meant to help Chu Jin achieve a true rebirth.]

Put simply, it was because of Chu Jin that Chu Tian had this opportunity to be reborn. Her very existence depended on Chu Jin.

That’s why she was so envious of Chu Jin.

Hating to see Chu Jin do well,

Yet unable to let Chu Jin die.

As reborn women, why was there such a difference between them?

This time, her fate could not be controlled by anyone!

Including this system!

Chu Tian gathered her thoughts and responded, "Understood."

[Ding! A new daily quest has been triggered: Gain the sympathy of the people! Quest completion reward: a pair of Willow Leaf Brows and a stick of Ice Skin Jade Snow Cream.]

After accepting the quest, Chu Tian raised her eyes to look at Chu Jin once again, and said softly, "Sister, is there some misunderstanding between us? Actually..."

"I’ve said it, stop calling me sister, I find it disgusting, and you’re loath to say it," Chu Jin said, looking down slightly, cutting off Chu Tian’s words.

"Sister..." Chu Tian lowered her head, her eyes misty, appearing as if she’d been wronged greatly.
