Wen Yi fled the hotel, still somewhat shaken by the incident of sleeping with a man while drunk the previous day.
Wen Yi, who has always been a good daughter and a good older sister since childhood, is breaking with convention for the first time by having a one-night stand.
When she got back to her doorstep, she hesitated to go in before Wen Ge noticed her.
"Sister, you're finally back!" Wen Ge ran towards her with tears in her eyes. "Sister, where did you go last night? I was so worried about you. I would feel guilty for the rest of my life if anything happened to you."
Wen Ge was delicate and prone to crying since childhood. She was fair-skinned and beautiful, and her tears always made people feel sorry for her.
“Sister, let’s go back first and talk about the substitute marriage later. At worst, I can marry myself, but…” Wen Ge lowered her eyes in disappointment, “Just consider it as me and Young Master Gu being destined to be apart.”
She pursed her lips, her kind and strong appearance making it hard for anyone to bear to look at her.
At that moment, it truly made one feel that Wen Yi was a selfish executioner who ruined the happy marriage between Wen Ge and Young Master Gu.
"Wen Ge!"
The mother stood at the door and called out, "Young Master Gu will be here soon. Go upstairs and change your clothes first. I'll talk to your sister."
Wen Ge hesitated, looking at her mother and then back at Wen Yi, before finally nodding and leaving.
“Wen Ge talked to us all night yesterday, saying she didn’t want you to sacrifice yourself.” The mother stood beside Wen Yi, walking slowly.
Wen Yi lowered her head and remained silent.
"She has been kind and strong since she was a child. Although she is the younger sister, she has done what an older sister should do. Think about how many times Wen Ge has helped you when you were embarrassed when guests came to the house?"
"Everyone in Haicheng knows that Miss Wen is the Gu family's chosen daughter-in-law, with a limitless future. If you help her now, do you think she will treat you badly in the future?"
"Wen Yi, we're both daughters. Mom only asks that you be kind and sensible, okay?"
The mother pleaded earnestly, with a sense of urgency.
Wen Yi's face remained expressionless, but her heart was bleeding.
It turns out that in her mother's eyes, she was a sister who was neither respectable nor kind, and who was neither mature nor kind.
"Look at you, I've said so much to you, and you can't say a single nice thing. You're nothing compared to your sister."
They had already reached the door when the mother shook her head in disappointment. "Think it over carefully. Now go upstairs and change your clothes. Young Master Gu will be here soon. Don't embarrass our family."
After saying that, the mother left.
Wen Yishen exhaled and started walking upstairs.
Her room was the smallest in the house because Wen Ge's room was next door.
Wen Ge didn't dare to live alone on the third floor, so Wen Yi was arranged by her mother to live in a room that had been tidied up in the small study in order to keep Wen Ge company.
When guests came to the house, it was embarrassing because Wen Ge asked her to help serve tea. However, the guest's child was making a fuss and pushed her, causing her to fall. Wen Ge came out to help and was praised for it.
She didn't say anything because she was bad at expressing herself.
Furthermore, she felt that as the older sister, her mother intended for Wen Ge to become a well-known socialite in Haicheng, and that the older sister shouldn't fuss over such trivial matters.
Even if she were to hold a grudge, no one would stand up for her; they would only accuse her of being immature.
Wen Yi wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, took a shower, and changed into a proper white dress.
At the same time, a commotion came from downstairs, and a maid came upstairs to remind Wen Yi to come downstairs, as Young Master Gu had arrived.
Wen Yi straightened her clothes and walked downstairs.
Because of Gu Dashao's arrival, the living room was filled with gifts. His mother greeted Wen Ge at the door. Wen Ge lowered her head shyly and reservedly, but couldn't help but steal glances at the man in front of her.
"Young Master Gu, you're welcome to come. There's no need to be so polite," Wen Ge said softly.
When Wen Yi saw the young master Gu that Wen Ge had mentioned, she stood motionless on the stairs as if struck by lightning.
The man at the door was wearing a gray striped suit with a light gold patterned shirt underneath and a neatly tied tie, exuding an air of asceticism and nobility.
This was a completely unfamiliar face to Wen Yi.
Compared to the man from yesterday, the man in front of me appeared more mature and cold. The man from yesterday had extremely beautiful peach blossom eyes, which looked dangerous like those of a thug when he squinted.
Just as Wen Yi was thinking this, the man with those extremely beautiful peach blossom eyes walked out and appeared in Wen Yi's sight.
He wore a dark suit, stood tall and straight, and his bangs casually fell across his eyelids, concealing his captivating eyes. He was so handsome that even the aloof man beside him paled in comparison.
"This is my younger brother, Gu Huaixu," Gu Zeyu introduced.
Wen Yi almost fell down the stairs.
"Wen Yi, come down and say hello!"
The mother called out from downstairs, her brows furrowed with impatience.
Wen Yi was somewhat dazed.
In my memory, Young Master Gu does have a younger brother, and that brother is... 23 years old this year?
27-year-old Wen Yi, recalling everything from yesterday, felt her spine begin to ache as she realized how she had acted like a beast, sleeping with her four-year-younger brother.
She sat dazedly beside her mother, secretly glancing at Gu Huaixu, and found him looking up at her with a knowing, rather mocking gaze.
Feeling guilty, Wen Yi quickly moved away.
When I peeked again, I automatically pictured Gu Huaixu's fierce attack from yesterday...
Wen Yi couldn't stand it.
"Mom, I... I'm going to the restroom," Wen said softly.
Her mother didn't even bother to look at her and waved her away.
Wen fled in panic, hiding in the bathroom and frantically washing her face. Looking up at her water-covered face in the mirror, she was still in shock.
Was yesterday a dream?
They were all just delusions after drinking, right?
All of them are...
"elder sister?"
Just as Wen Yi began to comfort herself, that devilishly handsome face appeared in front of the mirror.
Compared to yesterday's brutal and thuggish attack, Gu Huaixu now exudes an air of innocence despite his captivatingly handsome eyes.
"Is your sister feeling unwell because of yesterday?"
