This sentence was almost squeezed out from between An Qing’s teeth.
As long as An Yu answered honestly, she would know whether everything she had done since her rebirth had any meaning at all.
She stared directly into An Yu’s eyes, trying to catch any hint of emotion.
Unfortunately, even after being asked such a question, An Yu looked the same as always.
Even without answering, the answer was already obvious.
“An Qing, the An family is not my home.”
The girl parted her cherry lips slightly.
Her expression remained completely unchanged, yet her eyes carried a trace of seriousness.
An Yu had originally thought that as the villainess, she would never get the chance to explain these things to the protagonist.
She never expected An Qing to ask her directly today.
So An Yu wouldn’t hide anything. She would tell An Qing her true feelings honestly.
Whether An Qing believed her or not.
From the very beginning, there has never been anything here that I wanted.
She was herself, and the original owner was the original owner.
An Yu had never cared about anything related to the An family.
She quite liked the luxurious smartphone and the soft big bed.
However…
The things belonging to the An family were not hers.
If An Qing wanted them back, she could return everything.
“An Qing, all of this belongs to you.”
Seeing that An Qing remained silent, An Yu calmly glanced around.
The villa was magnificent and luxurious, but it was suited for the protagonist, not for her.
Since An Qing had asked, An Yu wanted to make it clear that she had never intended to fight for any of it.
None of this had anything to do with her.
“Who would want…?!”
An Qing started speaking but bit her lip in irritation.
She didn’t want to hear any of this. Who cared about all this stuff from the An family?
What was the point of giving her all this garbage?
What An Qing wanted had never been these things.
Her body trembled slightly.
The light in her crimson eyes completely faded.
An Yu’s gaze was sincere. No matter who looked at it, they wouldn’t see any sign of lying.
…She wasn’t lying?
“Don’t try to trick me!”
An Qing’s emotions were starting to collapse. She gripped An Yu tighter, no longer caring whether it hurt her or not.
She realized that if she let go, An Yu would run far away — so far that she would never be able to find her again.
“I’m not tricking you.”
An Yu spoke as if she hadn’t noticed anything unusual, her voice calm and without the slightest ripple.
An Qing clenched her teeth, her hands shaking uncontrollably.
Of course she knew An Yu wasn’t lying, but no matter what, she didn’t want to believe this outcome.
Her rebirth, her revenge — everything she had done was meant to make An Yu realize that both the An family and the Chen family were worthless garbage.
One could feel no real emotions from those pieces of trash.
And now, An Qing was experiencing that same feeling in An Yu’s place.
She wanted to take revenge on An Yu for using her… for abandoning her… all for the sake of that garbage.
But now you’re telling me that An Yu never cared about the An family from the very beginning?
Then what was the point of her actions in her previous life?
No matter how hard An Qing racked her brain, she couldn’t think of any reason why An Yu had acted that way in her past life.
Did she simply hate her? Did she just want to mess with her?
If she didn’t care about the An family, then there was no fear of her status being taken away, and even less reason to target her because of it.
Subconsciously, An Qing began recalling her memories of An Yu from her previous life.
But no matter how she thought about it, she couldn’t understand.
Everything had been normal for so long, until one day An Yu suddenly stopped pretending and exposed everything right in front of her.
She kept pushing her away.
Even up until the moment of An Yu’s death, she was still mocking her and loathing her.
She didn’t understand. She didn’t understand, didn’t understand, didn’t understand!!
An Qing could tell that the current An Yu was being serious, and the An Yu from her previous life had also been serious.
She had lived two lifetimes, yet she still couldn’t understand!
Everything she had done had been completely meaningless.
If she couldn’t figure out what was going on with An Yu, then none of her actions had any meaning.
Looking at the girl beneath her who still looked completely normal, An Qing felt a surge of anger.
“You think… I’ll believe you just because of that?”
Although An Qing had already believed most of it, she still stubbornly refused to admit it.
“An Qing, you don’t believe me?”
An Yu blinked with an expressionless face. Her expression remained as unchanged as always.
It was as if she had absolute confidence.
An Qing was momentarily stunned. A trace of expectation rose in her heart.
Could An Yu… still provide evidence?
Even without evidence, An Yu’s behavior was already enough to explain everything.
“Then there’s nothing I can do about it.”
If An Qing didn’t believe her, An Yu couldn’t do anything about it. What else could she do?
She had known this from the moment she transmigrated.
The reborn heroine was simply unreasonable.
Perhaps if An Yu worked hard enough, she could change her mind.
She could think whatever she wanted.
But a heroine who had suffered major setbacks — even death — could revert back in a single moment of thought.
An Yu never did useless things.
And she was too lazy to bother.
Seeing An Yu’s complete indifference, An Qing instantly fell silent.
Her expectation had been in vain.
An Yu was still the same.
From beginning to end, she didn’t care about anything related to her.
That’s right. How could someone like this possibly try to seize everything from the An family?
No matter how unwilling An Qing was to believe it, the truth was right in front of her.
An Yu didn’t care about anything at all.
It was impossible for her to target An Qing because of the An family.
From start to finish, it had all been An Qing’s own wishful thinking.
From the Recognition Banquet, to the birthday banquet, and now to this moment.
An Yu had never reacted at all.
Chen Yu stopping Chen Guang had nothing to do with An Yu.
The one who sent the sister manga had never been An Yu.
Even on her birthday, An Yu hadn’t wanted to celebrate at home.
Compared to An Yunfan, Jiang Qinghe, Chen Guang, and Chen Yu, An Yu cared far more about Ning Wanciu.
No matter what happened in the previous life, at least in this life, this was how An Yu was.
An Qing had been doing meaningless things from the very beginning.
Thinking of this, An Qing lost all strength in her body. She breathed heavily.
Even though An Yu was right beside her, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
“An Qing, the last question is finished.”
Ignoring An Qing’s state, An Yu spoke softly, “I want to go back.”
Regardless of whether An Qing believed her or not, she should go back now. Game time was about to start.
“Ha…”
An Qing trembled subconsciously as her consciousness slowly returned.
In the midst of despair, she saw An Yu’s indifferent eyes.
Although she didn’t care about the An family at all, she was still looking at her.
It was like a person on the verge of death grabbing onto the last straw of hope.
An Qing could no longer hold back. Gritting her teeth, she cried out:
“I don’t care about the An family or any of that!”
A trace of expectation appeared once again in her crimson eyes.
“What about me?”
