Chapter 300
Shen Shiyu was Shen Jiao's original name, given by her parents, but she had long forgotten it.
Even if it was a pseudonym, she never thought of using her real name.
Shen Jiao said, "Forget about knowing me. I'm already an orphan. I don't have any parents, let alone any brothers. If you're really that kind, why not let me go?"
"This child is still so stubborn. Let's talk about it later." Mother touched her face and pressed her mute xue.
Dad and his friends said, "Not only did Wuyong eliminate those rebels, he also found your sister. He's truly accomplished. This is a double celebration for our family, and we should invite you, the uncles and aunts, to join in the fun."
They held a grand banquet and ate and drank as if there was some real happy event.
Wu Yong whispered, "Are you really my sister? My parents never mentioned it."
Shen·Mute·Jiao remained silent.
Wuyong then asked, "Have you ever stolen anything?"
Shen·Mute·Jiao remained silent.
Wu Yong sneered, "This method is a bit unpresentable, isn't it? Don't you think it will embarrass your parents if you tell them about it?"
Shen·Mute·Jiao remained silent.
Wuyong continued: "I don't like you."
Shen·Mute·Jiao remained silent and gave him a fierce look.
Does she look like she likes him?
When the banquet was over, Shen Jiao's first words after regaining her voice were: "You're not my biological child, are you?"
There's something wrong with his head.
Her mother scolded her, "Shiyu, how can you say that? Wuyong is your brother, it's enough for you to know this. As an older sister, you should behave like an older sister."
"That's right," her father said, a little drunk, his tongue barely slurring as he continued to scold her. "There's a way. We're all family. We can't act as we did when we were little."
"It's your parents' fault, actually. We didn't understand these things back then. We heard some nonsense and left you in a rage. We were just thinking about making some money to patch up the hole you made. Don't hold a grudge against your parents. Later, we went back to look for you, but we didn't know where you had gone. We were separated for so many years by some strange coincidence. Fortunately, you have grown up safely. Good boy, tell me where you have been all these years?"
Her mother grabbed her hand and said with a smile,
"Mom, I smell the fragrance on you. It seems familiar, as if I've met you somewhere before..."
"I'm a drug slave." Shen Jiao saw that she was asking a question even though she knew the answer.
"That's great," her mother said in surprise. "Your brother isn't feeling well, and it's hard to ask another doctor to treat him. You could be the perfect person to take care of him."
Shen Jiao glanced at her and said, "You haven't laid any groundwork yet? You're just taking advantage of me right away?"
In the past, when I encouraged her to steal things, I would coax her with a few words and promise to give her meat.
Now, as soon as the upper lip touches the lower lip, the words come out.
Even after being exposed by Shen Jiao, she remained calm and collected: "Mom also wants you siblings to get along well. If you don't want to, at least try it for a while. Maybe the relationship will get better."
"He wants to kill me and plant a king poison in me, trying to turn me into an artifact. How can I have a good relationship with him? Did I get kicked in the brain by a donkey?" Shen Jiao is such an eloquent person, but now he can hardly find the right words to curse.
"We're a family, why would we bother with so much?" her father yelled. "Wuyong doesn't even know who you are. Besides, it's nothing serious. Good son, help your sister think of a solution."
"Dad, once this King Gu is planted, it won't come out easily. I don't have any good solutions, but you can rest assured, sister. I won't use you as a tool. I can't do that, right?"
He smiled, and even though most of his face was hidden in the shadow of the hood, Shen Jiao was still sure that he smiled.
You bastard!
Try this on her.
"If I put a knife to your neck and told you I wouldn't cut you, would you believe that?"
"Of course," Wu Yong said with full trust, "You are my sister, how could you hurt me? Don't say it's not true. Even if it is true, you must have your reasons. It's for my own good. Wu Yong believes you. Could it be that you... don't think the same way?"
"I have to try it to find out. How about you stretch your neck out for me to see? Why? You don't dare? Your voice is like the quacking of a dead duck. Don't try to imitate the brothel style. I don't buy that."
"Hey, kid, why is the curse so harsh? He's your brother." Her mother said dissatisfiedly.
Shen Jiao said sternly:
"I am an orphan."
She couldn't say a single nice word to this group of people. Couldn't they just die in this messed-up world, one by one, in some dark corner? Why did they jump in front of her like zombies, adding to her already troubled life?
"I understand you're feeling resentful, but blood is thicker than water. Even if you want to make amends, you should give me a chance. So, take a good rest first, and we'll talk later if you have anything to say."
Her mother poked her lightly on the back of the neck. Shen Jiao felt a sharp pain, and then her head hit the table with a bang.
"It's great to be young, you can fall asleep right away," her father said with emotion, "This child is still the same as before, a deep sleeper."
Shen Jiao was confused but not unconscious yet. She wanted to curse when she heard this.
Was she sleeping like that when she was little? She fainted from hunger! She fainted from hunger! She fainted from hunger because she had no food to eat!
You two bastards whose pockets are cleaner than your faces and who can't even get a grain of rice out of the jar, how dare you speak so confidently in front of her and say this and that!
Shen Jiao heard her brother, whose throat felt like it had been run over by a carriage wheel, telling her parents that Wang Gu could not control her.
Her parents seemed very interested in this matter.
The sound gradually faded away, and Shen Jiao fainted completely.
When she woke up, she was at Bai Shan's former residence.
Her brother, who was most likely not related by blood, was sitting cross-legged on a chair not far from her, breathing in and out, and when she woke up, he was just finishing his breathing and started to mock her:
"I thought you had some amazing ability, but it turns out you can just keep the poisonous insects restraining each other. How long do you think you can last with this?"
Shen Jiao said woodenly, "I'm sure I'll live longer than you."
"You're still asleep, aren't you?" Shen Wuyong approached her bedside, propped up his elbows, and lay on his side beside her, saying, "I have good news for you. The King Gu is very likely to invade the Spiritual Platform and devour your Heart-Piercing Gu. Are you happy?"
"Just keep talking nonsense." Shen Jiao didn't believe that he would say any good news.
Shen Wuyong laughed and said, "Then I'll be able to control you. It's useless for that living amber to guard your dantian. It's weak and alone. Maybe it can give you a clear mind, but it can't help you break free from Wang Gu's control. A sober object... Ha, that's quite interesting!"
He was tapping his hands on his knees, looking delighted.
