Chapter 96, Brother is doing this for your own good!

Before Chu Xiaoxiao understood what Chu Lizheng meant by "understand something", she saw another man walking in from outside the door.

He looked to be in his early forties, of medium build and slightly plump, dressed in a formal suit and a pair of Oxford leather shoes, and he smelled of a strong cologne.

"Mr. Yu." Seeing the newcomer, Chu Lizheng immediately stepped forward with a smile and shook hands with him: "I've heard a lot about you!"

"Xiao Chu." Director Yu smiled and shook hands with Chu Lizheng, saying casually, "Come, sit down and talk."

Chu Xiaoxiao thought that it was just her and her brother today. When she saw Yu Dong suddenly appear, Chu Xiaoxiao couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, but she said nothing. She silently took two steps back, preparing to sit in a position where she would not interfere with her brother's conversation, but Chu Lizheng grabbed her arm and pulled her over, then pressed her shoulders and placed her next to Yu Dong.

Chu Xiaoxiao looked at Chu Lizheng in confusion, her eyes full of surprise.

The next moment, a hand suddenly touched the side of her exposed thigh in her newly bought miniskirt.

The warm touch made Chu Xiaoxiao shudder and her mind went blank.

"This fairy Xiao isn't called that for nothing. Her skin is as white as cream." Director Yu smiled at Chu Xiaoxiao and asked, "How old is Xiaoxiao this year?"

Chu Xiaoxiao was already scared silly. She looked at Director Yu's disgusting face and wanted to ask for help but couldn't make a sound. She could only turn her head stiffly to look at Chu Lizheng, looking at him for help.

Brother, save me!

Chu Lizheng glared at Chu Xiaoxiao with a look of disappointment, as if blaming her for not knowing how to appreciate his kindness.

Chu Lizheng raised his hand and placed it on Chu Xiaoxiao's shoulder, pinching it hard to remind her to "be more sensible." Then he looked at Director Yu with a smile and said, "My sister just turned eighteen. She's timid and has never had a boyfriend since she was a child. She gets nervous and blushes when anyone talks to her."

"It's good that you've never had a boyfriend!" Director Yu's eyes lit up, and he seemed very satisfied with the answer: "Eighteen years old, it's really a blooming age! Xiaoxiao, come and pour me a glass of wine!"

Chu Xiaoxiao wanted to retreat, but Chu Lizheng's hand on her shoulder reminded her that if she didn't obey, she would die miserably.

Seeing this, Chu Xiaoxiao could only laugh dryly, stood up, walked around the chair to get the wine, and avoided Yu Dong's hand.

Director Yu's gaze slid from Chu Xiaoxiao's neck to her legs, and the smile on his face became more and more satisfied.

As a man, Chu Lizheng knew Director Yu's thoughts too well, but he was also here for business. He would not let his sister be taken advantage of for nothing: "Director Yu, look..."

"Don't worry, he's just a novelist." Director Yu chuckled disdainfully. "Banning him is just a matter of a word. Can you find that lousy book Night Tide even if you search the entire internet?"

"Mr. Yu is Mr. Yu. I'll toast you a glass." Chu Lizheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly toasted Mr. Yu with a glass.

Director Yu curled the corners of his lips but said nothing.

Chu Lizheng immediately understood what was going on and said to Chu Xiaoxiao, who had hidden away after pouring the wine, "Xiaoxiao, what are you doing standing there? Come over here and toast to Mr. Yu!"

Chu Xiaoxiao didn't want to go over, but after meeting Chu Lizheng's eyes, she still walked over: "Mr. Yu, I'm not good at drinking, so I'll just have tea instead of wine. I'll offer you a glass."

Chu Xiaoxiao poured herself a cup of tea. After she finished drinking it, she looked at Director Yu and found that Director Yu still had no reaction.

Chu Xiaoxiao looked at her brother in confusion.

"How can you be so ignorant! How can you only drink tea when you toast to Mr. Yu?" Chu Lizheng poured a glass of wine without saying anything and stuffed it into Chu Xiaoxiao's hand: "A big toast!"

"But, but I..." Chu Xiaoxiao looked at the wine in the glass, feeling torn. She had never drunk alcohol before!

"Don't you want to debut as a star? Director Yu has a lot of resources. If he thinks you have talent and wants to support you, it's just a matter of a word! Don't be naive!" Chu Lizheng saw that Chu Xiaoxiao still looked reluctant to drink, and immediately lowered his gaze: "Be obedient, I'm your biological brother, how could I harm you?"

Hearing Chu Lizheng say this, Chu Xiaoxiao could only tilt her head back and drink the cup of spicy wine.

This was her first time drinking white wine. It was like a ball of fire burning through her mouth, esophagus and finally exploding in her stomach. The heat spread throughout her body, burning her eyes red and even giving her cheeks an unnatural blush.

Chu Xiaoxiao's appearance of drinking for the first time obviously pleased Director Yu. He laughed heartily and drank the wine in one gulp: "A beautiful woman toasts me, so why shouldn't I drink!"

Seeing this, Chu Lizheng breathed a sigh of relief, said a lot of flattering words, and asked Chu Xiaoxiao to toast four or five glasses of wine to Director Yu.

Chu Xiaoxiao felt her mind was foggy and her body was burning hot after drinking so many glasses of white wine in a row for the first time.

Chu Xiaoxiao lay on her back on the chair, and with her head tilted back, she could feel the huge crystal chandelier above her head swaying and emitting a hazy and dreamy light. Unconsciously, Chu Xiaoxiao curled up the corners of her mouth to reveal a smile.

Director Yu was also dazzled by Chu Xiaoxiao's drunken smile, and he unconsciously recited a line of poetry: "The charming eyes closed in shyness, and the red lips parted with a smile."

Chu Lizheng realized the time was almost right, so he wisely prepared to leave. "It would be a blessing for my sister if she could receive guidance from Director Yu. I hope Director Yu will be willing to give her some advice!"

"Sure, sure." Director Yu understood Chu Lizheng's intentions and waved his hand, his eyes filled with uncontrollable joy. "Since she's Xiao Chu's sister, I'll definitely give her some pointers!"

Chu Lizheng stood up and was about to leave, but a hand grabbed his sleeve.

"Brother..." Chu Xiaoxiao's body was weak due to being drunk, and her vision was blurry, and she couldn't see people clearly.

But Chu Xiaoxiao knew that if Chu Lizheng left at this time, she would face endless purgatory: "Brother, save me... I will listen to you..."

Tears blurred Chu Xiaoxiao's vision, and she tugged at Chu Lizheng's sleeve and begged.

"Be good," Chu Lizheng half-knelt down and gently stroked Chu Xiaoxiao's head. "We are siblings. I am the closest person to you in this world. Would I hurt you? I am doing this for your own good!"

Chu Xiaoxiao looked at Chu Lizheng's cold eyes and felt the chill spread to her bones.

She suddenly remembered that many years ago, after finishing her physical education class on a hot summer day, she felt dizzy from the heat. She bought ice cream with her classmates. While eating, she saw Chu Lizheng, who was in the same school but a different grade, passing by her with a basketball.

At that time, Chu Lizheng just smiled and said to her, "What a greedy little cat." Then he walked away.

At that time, all her classmates envied her brother for doting on her. It was okay, such a handsome brother called her such a cute nickname as "Little Greedy Cat".

But only Chu Xiaoxiao knew that she was finished.

As expected, she received the most severe punishment as soon as she returned home that day.

Her mother grabbed her hair and dragged her like crazy, slapped her and called her a slut who couldn't control herself, using many words that even she couldn't understand.

At that time, she was still in elementary school.

That night, Chu Lizheng found Chu Xiaoxiao, who had been beaten to death. He stroked her head and said to her gently, "We are siblings. I am the closest person to you in this world. Would I hurt you? I am doing this for your own good!"

The same words, the same cold eyes, chilled her to the bone, so cold that her soul was trembling.

Chu Xiaoxiao looked into Chu Lizheng's eyes and asked something she hadn't asked in all these years: "Are you really doing this for my own good?"

"Of course." Chu Lizheng smiled: "We are siblings. If I am well, you will be well too."

After saying this, Chu Lizheng cruelly shook off Chu Xiaoxiao's hand and walked out without looking back.

Looking at Chu Lizheng's back, Chu Xiaoxiao felt a moment of weightlessness, as if she had fallen from the clouds into the abyss.
