"Brother, second brother, you both look thinner." Sheng Yunrong smiled, with a hint of concern in her eyes.
She glanced at their well-cut fashionable clothes and their still heroic figures, and couldn't help but eagerly ask the question in her mind: "So, parents...how are they doing?"
Big Brother Sheng Hongye smiled bitterly, with a hint of teasing in his tone: "Don't worry about your parents. They live a very comfortable life in Jiangnan, but after learning about your misfortune, they have lost their appetite."
The hidden sadness between Brother Sheng Hongye's brows inadvertently revealed his mood.
"Really?" Sheng Yunrong's eyes were moist.
She had done such a stupid thing, but her parents didn't blame her. Do they... still remember her?
"Of course." Brother Sheng Hongxiao was sensitive to Sheng Yunrong's inner sadness, and quickly comforted her in a gentle voice, "Yunrong, your parents' love for you is beyond words. Since you were a child, they have been eager to pick the stars in the sky for you, so how could they not be concerned about you all the time.
Thirteen years ago, you had a conflict with your parents because of Qin Wenyuan, but they never really blamed you. They just hoped that you could be happy and healthy.
For the past thirteen years, your parents and brothers have never stopped searching for your whereabouts.
When you live happily here, they will no longer disturb you, and they also strictly forbid us to disturb you.
It’s just that recently…”
Second brother Sheng Hongxiao's words were interrupted, and he looked at Sheng Yunrong with eyes full of worry.
He knew his little sister very well. Although she looked strong and unyielding on the outside, she was actually as soft as water on the inside.
Qin Fengyun, the eldest son whom she raised with great effort, turned out to be a villain who abused prostitutes in brothels.
This only made her heart more painful.
What worried him even more was the woman Qin Wenyuan planned to marry.
If the woman was kind, his younger sister might not have to deal with her all day long.
But if that woman has evil intentions, how will his little sister live in the future...
However, no matter whether it was good or bad, these two unfilial descendants of the Qin family actually expelled the younger sister from the Qin Mansion without hesitation, which was really outrageous!
"Little sister, what happened?" Brother Sheng Hongye couldn't help but feel a headache when he thought about this.
They would inquire about their little sister at home every other week.
After learning that his younger sister was living a happy and fulfilling life, he had nothing else to say.
During this unexpected inquiry, they actually learned that the little sister whom they held in their hands, cared for and would not allow any harm to happen to her, was actually hurt by the man who resolutely followed him away from his hometown thirteen years ago.
Not to mention the pain that the talented little nephew, known as the "young immortal of poetry", brought to their sister!
The Qin family dared to use this as an excuse to have their sister move out of the Qin Mansion and live elsewhere, and shamelessly announced that it was the sister who asked to leave.
Others might believe this nonsense, but they and their brother would never believe it!
They were entrusted by their parents, and they also wanted to witness their younger sister's living conditions with their own eyes, so they came here specially!
The purpose of this trip is not only to observe carefully, but also to vent my anger for my sister!
"Yunrong, that Qin Wenyuan..." However, at this critical moment, the eldest brother Sheng Hongye seemed a little hesitant.
After all, thirteen years ago, Yun Rong had a rift with them because of Qin Wenyuan.
If they proposed to retaliate against Qin Wenyuan to make up for the grievances suffered by Yunrong this time, would it make her feel embarrassed or even extremely angry again and unwilling to associate with them?
There was a worry in the corners of eldest brother Sheng Hongye's brows and eyes.
"Brother." Sheng Yunrong held her elder brother Sheng Hongye's hand tightly and was about to say something.
However, she unexpectedly heard shocking news from her eldest brother's inner voice.
[After learning about their little sister’s difficult life, the parents were so distraught that they both became bedridden…]
[If Yunrong were to encounter any more misfortune, how would her parents bear this heavy blow? ]
What?
Sheng Yunrong was shocked, her arms fell limply, her eyes turned red, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Yunrong, what's wrong with you?" The eldest brother Sheng Hongye anxiously held Sheng Yunrong's shoulders.
Sheng Hongxiao was relatively calm, but he also couldn't hide his inner worries.
He reached out and gently touched Sheng Yunrong's forehead, trying to check her temperature: "Could it be that she was too frightened and caused the disease?"
[It was not my sister's fault that she had been frail and sickly since childhood and fell in love with a man she shouldn't have loved.
But how could Qin Wenyuan treat her like this? 】
Sheng Hongye was waiting by the side, not letting go of Sheng Yunrong's hand.
[How could my little sister's hands be so cold? Qin Wenyuan not only caused our Sheng family's business to decline and cut off our source of income, but he also didn't know how to cherish my little sister after getting her!
Being exploited so many times that it has come to this point!
If I had known this, my second brother and I should have kidnapped my sister back no matter what when we found out that the Qin family deliberately framed our Sheng family's business!
That way, my sister wouldn't have to endure such great pain! 】
Sheng Hongxiao breathed a sigh of relief: "It's nothing serious."
He lowered his eyes and caught a glimpse of Sheng Yunrong's tears, with sadness written all over her face.
"What happened?" Sheng Hongxiao was panicked.
The last thing he wanted to see was his sister in tears.
Sheng Hongye was so anxious that cold sweat oozed from his forehead: "Yunrong, tell me, did Qin Wenyuan do anything else to you?"
"No, no, there is no such thing—" Sheng Yunrong shook her head fiercely, her voice unclear, "Yes, it was me..."
"What?" Sheng Hongye frowned. Although he didn't understand what was going on, he gritted his teeth at Sheng Yunrong's grief-stricken and nearly collapsed expression, and said, "I'm going to settle the score with Qin Wenyuan now!"
"Brother, don't!" Sheng Yunrong tightly grasped her brother's wrist.
"Yunrong, are you still defending him..." Sheng Hongye looked a little hurt.
Sheng Hongxiao shook his head slightly to express his disapproval.
They had finally managed to get their sister to show up, so how could they ask anything more of her?
Sheng Hongye sighed in disappointment and could only remain silent.
Sheng Yunrong looked at her two brothers' cautious attitude towards her, and her heart seemed to be torn into countless pieces.
It's her, everything is hers!
It was she who made these two talented brothers so anxious.
It was she who trusted Qin Wenyuan too easily, causing her parents and brothers to suffer greatly because of her!
It was because she did not conduct a thorough investigation that Old Madam Qin, Ling Meng, Qin Wenyuan, Qin Fengyun, Qin Huaiyu and others were able to do whatever they wanted to her behind her back!
It was she who put herself in despair, and also dragged her parents and brothers into the abyss!
She once naively believed that her parents and brothers were living a comfortable life and were still wealthy businessmen in the local area.
As expected, in order to reassure her and to cover up the family's difficulties, her brothers spent half a year's living expenses to buy these two gorgeous clothes.
Deep in her heart, the guilt that had been pent up for a long time was like a thick dark cloud, hanging heavily over her soul, so much so that when she learned the slightest news about her parents and two brothers, she chose to remain silent and avoid the topic, for fear that her name would once again become a heavy burden on them.
