"After that incident, the Song and Jiang families harbored resentment. They never showed it on the surface, but in reality, the two families had already joined forces and were constantly making things difficult for the Yan family..."

"It wasn't until Chu Yan appeared that the Song and Jiang families finally found an opportunity."

“In the past, Yan Mu and you were engaged. The Song family and the Jiang family were always wary of the marriage between your two families, so they dared not make many things too obvious or do too much.”

"Until, through their scheming, Yan Mu gradually developed an interest in and feelings for Chu Yan... The intentions of the Song and Jiang families were no longer concealed at all."

"Unfortunately, Yan Mu is too stupid. He actually thought that Song Hengzhi and Jiang Haochen were as blind as him and had taken a liking to Chu Yan."

"But in reality, those two were not sincere in their pursuit of Chu Yan, but rather it was a scheme to make Yan Mu feel threatened and to make him realize that his judgment was correct."

"After all, what makes a mere poor girl so irresistible to these three privileged young men, causing them to be so infatuated with her yet unable to have her?"

"Even if Yan Mu didn't think about it deeply, from childhood to adulthood, he was used to always being one step ahead of Song Hengzhi and Jiang Haochen, and he was used to the arrogant demeanor of a young master from a wealthy family."

"So, that's why Yan Mu was completely absorbed in competing with Song Hengzhi and Jiang Haochen for Chu Yan, thus ignoring the fact that you were his marriage partner."

Hearing this, the fog in Sheng Yue's eyes gradually cleared...

Some things that she had previously found incomprehensible now seemed to have been explained, and the confusion in her heart was finally answered.

"No wonder..."

"No wonder Song Hengzhi and Jiang Haochen have never been too harsh on me..."

"It turns out they never intended to offend me from the very beginning."

Qin Wan smiled meaningfully, "Compared to what Yan Mu did to you, Song Hengzhi and Jiang Haochen at most just provoked you with a few words, saying that you were vicious and bullied Chu Yan."

"Think back carefully, every time those two said those things, besides seemingly protecting Chu Yan, did they have any other meaning?"

"And at the banquet that day, you proposed to break off the engagement with Yan Mu. At that time, Chu Yan fainted, but only Yan Mu's expression changed drastically. He abandoned all the guests present and hurriedly left with Chu Yan in his arms."

"Think back to Song Hengzhi and Jiang Haochen's reactions back then..."

Are they really worried about Chu Yan?

"Or is it just empty talk about caring and concern?"

Some minor details may go unnoticed if you don't examine them closely and think about them.

But after Qin Wan said that, Sheng Yue thought about it carefully again and felt a chill run down her spine. It was extremely terrifying.

"Did the Yan family really not notice anything at all?"

“Especially Yan Mu…” Sheng Yue couldn’t help but murmur.

"Perhaps you feel something's not quite right, but before the results are in, who would really think that way?"

"After all, think about Song Hengzhi and Jiang Haochen's daily behavior."

"To win Chu Yan's favor, those two have said a lot of things to you and bully you, haven't they?"

Sheng Yue pursed her red lips, momentarily at a loss for words.

yes……

Those two did indeed harbor a lot of hostility towards Chu Yan because of her.

But it seems that they are only hostile towards her, and the worst they can do is verbally mock and despise her.

Yet there was never any action taken against her...

Yan Mu, on the other hand, would often push Chu Yan, causing her to fall.

He even slapped her for Chu Yan's sake...

At those times, Song Hengzhi and Jiang Haochen always seemed to just stand beside Chu Yan, comforting her and watching the show...

Let's see how Yan Mu deals with his fiancée.

Thinking of this, Sheng Yue felt as if the layers of mist that had been obscuring her had been completely peeled away...

So, this is the truth.

So this is what a power struggle within a wealthy family is really like.

It turns out that in this farce, only she and Yan Mu were the real fools.

How could Chu Yan, as the person involved, not be aware of what Song Hengzhi and Jiang Haochen had done?

But does all of this matter to Chu Yan?

No!

unimportant!

All Chu Yan needs to do is take advantage of Sheng's father's affection for her, and with the help and cooperation of Song Hengzhi and Jiang Haochen, she can successfully win over Yan Mu.

From beginning to end, all Chu Yan wanted was to marry into a wealthy family and successfully change her identity, fate, and social class.

Thinking of this, Sheng Yue looked up at Sheng Si blankly.

When did your brother find out?

Sheng Si raised his eyes and briefly met her gaze for a few seconds before saying in a deep voice, "From the very beginning..."

That's why, in his dream, he chose to let it all happen.

Simply because, in his view, Yan Mu was too foolish and not a good match for Sheng Yue.

Furthermore, he always thought that the conflict between Chu Yan and Sheng Yue was just a minor squabble, and that nothing serious would happen with him watching over them.

On the contrary, we can take advantage of this incident to help Sheng Yue grow before she graduates and enters society.

But what he never expected was...

After being kicked out of the Sheng family by her father, Sheng Yue became so extreme.

Clearly, he did not cut off Sheng Yue's financial support.

He even secretly arranged for people to protect Sheng Yue's safety.

But in the dream, Sheng Yue still encountered trouble...

Driven by hatred for Chu Yan, Sheng Yue drove her car to run her over.

As a result, Chu Yan was fine, but Sheng Yue herself was in a car accident and became a vegetable.

Thinking of this, Sheng Si narrowed his eyes dangerously.

And Qin Wan in my dreams...

She had clearly helped Chu Yan, but because her identity had never been revealed, Yan Mu and his people did that kind of thing to her...

Thinking of this, Sheng Si's aura suddenly changed, and a chilling and dangerous aura surrounded him.

"elder brother?"

Sheng Yue snapped out of her daze, looking at Sheng Si, who was clearly not in a good state and whose expression was off, with a hint of unease in her eyes.

Sheng Si glanced at her indifferently, ignored her, and returned his gaze to Qin Wan on the screen.

"Where are you?" Sheng Si asked, his thin lips pressed tightly together and his expression grave.

"You're at home, what's wrong?"

"Are you feeling unwell? You look terrible." Qin Wan asked with concern.

"I'm coming right away." With that, Sheng Si strode out, reminding Qin Wan as he went.

"Don't hang up!"

Qin Wan: "...Okay."

"Drive carefully, don't rush, I'll be waiting for you at home."

"Um."

Even though his face was pale and his aura was off, Sheng Si still tried to soften his voice and tone when answering Qin Wan, as if he was afraid of frightening her.

Watching Sheng Si stride away, Sheng Yue sat on the sofa with a complicated expression.

Brother... he really is the type to forget his sister when he sees a pretty face.

She had suffered such a huge blow, and then suddenly learned such a terrible secret and scheme. Instead of comforting her, her brother was so cold and heartless as to leave her alone at home.

Even before leaving, he didn't forget to force a big mouthful of dog food into her mouth.

Sheng Yue sat on the sofa, let out a long sigh, her tone filled with resentment, frustration, and depression...
