As expected, Qin Mei wasn't surprised. Had Aunt Zhang shown just a little more patience and meticulously cared for Jing Qi after the accident, not only would Jing Qi have been able to keep her long hair, but she would have become even more grateful. With a personality like Jing Qi's, she would have spent the rest of her life protecting Aunt Zhang, even at the cost of her own.
Aunt Zhang had been dealt a winning hand but played it terribly. It was clear from the beginning that her kindness toward Jing Qi had an ulterior motive. If Jing Qi's accident hadn't caused Aunt Zhang to show her true colors, her scheming would have surely ensnared Jing Qi with false affection for good.
But man's schemes are no match for heaven's plans. Aunt Zhang failed the test, and Jing Qi's sincere trust was ultimately misplaced.
"I like long hair too, Jing Qi. Let's grow ours out together." A fond, doting smile touched the corners of Qin Mei's lips.
