I was still in shock when my stepsister Mu Ya came to my house.
"I'm not saying anything bad about you. You can be noisy, but why did you run away from home? And why did you run off to this kind of a place? Is this shabby house your mother left behind more comfortable than a three-story villa in the city?"
Mu Ya and I have always had a bad relationship.
When I was a child, I thought she and her mother were the bad people who destroyed my family, and she regarded my brother and me as a burden that affected the happiness and sweetness of their family of three.
It's still the same now.
I had no intention of letting Mu Ya in, so I stopped her outside the gate: "This is my own private matter, it has nothing to do with you, please leave."
"I'm not leaving."
Mu Ya ignored my obstruction, kicked open the wooden door, and walked into the yard with a swagger.
She picked up a chair at random, and before sitting down, she blew away the dust on it with a look of disgust, as if she was afraid of getting dirty.
"My brother-in-law told Dad on the phone. You really went too far this time."
"Dad told you to get back right now! Also, hand over the three million! Let's pretend what happened today never happened!"
"Think about it carefully. You and your brother-in-law haven't divorced yet. You don't know when the money will be taken back. What will happen to Mu Hang? It's better to give it to Dad and let him keep it for you."
What a great sentence! Keep it for me!
Seven years ago, not long after his mother passed away, Mu Xianghua devoted all his attention to his mistress and Mu Ya.
Mu Hang was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment after suffering a heart attack late at night. He survived but did not show up.
During that period, I went to school and worked day and night.
After finally scraping together enough money for Mu Hang's surgery, Mu Xianghua showed up on the day they went to pay.
"It's too unsafe for a girl like you to carry so much cash! Dad will keep it for you and go with you to pay your brother's bill."
On the way to the hospital, Mu Xianghua ran away while I wasn't paying attention.
Later, Mu Ya showed off to me the necklace that Mu Xianghua gave her, which was priced at 32,000 yuan.
That’s Mu Hang’s life-saving money!
But his biological father used it to please his illegitimate daughter.
Thinking of this, I was filled with rage: "Go back and tell him, if he wants money, go earn it yourself, don't try to suck my blood!"
"Mu Yan, don't say such harsh words! Your half-dead brother is still lying in the hospital! It doesn't matter if you are fearless, but don't you care about his life or death?"
I care about Mu Hang, not just because he is my younger brother.
Also because—
Until the last moment before she passed away, my mother held my hand and told me:
"Take good care of yourself, and take good care of Hanghang for Mom."
They thought that by accurately grasping my weaknesses, they could force me to give in again and again.
It’s a pity that the cowardly Mu Yan who would compromise without any bottom line is now dead.
"If anything happens to Mu Hang... three million is more than enough to buy the lives of your entire family."
I curled the corners of my lips cruelly.
We have all died once, and I have experienced everything.
The worst that can happen is that both sides will be destroyed.
Mu Ya stared at me blankly, her brows furrowed.
After a moment, she suddenly stood up, sneered and came over to pull my collar: "Now that you have money, even your tone of voice is louder! Have you learned to threaten people? You think..."
"Don't touch me."
I was disgusted by Mu Ya's touch. Before she could finish her words, I suddenly raised my hand and pushed her away.
Caught off guard, she stumbled and tripped over a chair.
I felt very happy when I saw her fall to the ground in a standard dog-eating-shit posture.
"Mu Yan! I'll teach you a lesson!"
Mu Ya seemed to want to fight with me. She struggled to stand up and ran towards me fiercely.
I raised my leg and kicked her in the face.
"ah!"
Accompanied by a shrill scream, blood flowed from Mu Ya's mouth.
A small white object fell out of her mouth.
"Next time you come, it won't just be a matter of having a tooth knocked out!"
After saying that, I closed the gate tightly.
After a long time, I heard Mu Ya yelling at the top of her lungs outside the yard: "Just wait! This matter won't just end like this!"
I knew without thinking that Mu Ya would inevitably exaggerate and talk nonsense when she returned.
Maybe we won’t be able to wait until tomorrow.
Mu Xianghua, who has always loved his daughter dearly, would probably come to me overnight and ask for an explanation.
Until the next day, it was already afternoon, and there was still no movement.
I was just wondering when my cell phone started ringing.
It was Zhou Chenyan calling.
"Mu Yan! You've really gone too far this time!"
He growled almost angrily, and I could imagine his sullen expression even through the microphone.
"Mu Ya came all the way to persuade you to live a good life, and you hit her? Mu Yan, are you crazy?"
They are getting divorced to this extent just for a bracelet.
Zhou Chenyan's patience has been exhausted to the limit.
Without waiting for me to speak, he said lightly, "I don't have time to waste with you. Tell me, what do you want in exchange for not getting a divorce?"
Look, how great is Zhou Chenyan’s love for his sister Zhou Zhizi.
To protect her and also to hide their shameful relationship.
I couldn't help but wonder what he could do.
"As long as we don't get divorced, I can have whatever I want?"
"yes."
"I want Zhou Zhizi to kneel in front of me and apologize to me!"
Zhou Chenyan wouldn't be willing to do that.
Sure enough, there was a long silence on the other end of the phone.
It was so long that I almost thought the call had been hung up, and then he said word by word: "Impossible."
It was expected.
"I know you can't bear to see your little rose suffer any injustice. Then sign the agreement and find a time to go together to complete the formalities. Otherwise..."
I paused, and all the events of my past life flashed through my mind frame by frame like movie clips.
In her previous life, Zhou Zhizi revealed her feelings for Zhou Chenyan on the day of the graduation banquet.
Once the brother-sister love story was made public, the Zhou family became the laughing stock of the entire city.
Zhou's parents have always attached great importance to their reputation. Despite the heavy rain, they kicked their adopted daughter Zhou Zhizi out of the house that night.
A little girl had nowhere to go in the middle of the night and was bullied by a gangster on the street. She cried uncontrollably and made a fuss, saying that she didn't want to live anymore.
Zhou Chenyan didn't even investigate and stormed back home.
"For everything that happened to Gardenia, I will make you pay it back a thousandfold in the future!"
That night, Zhou Chenyan's eyes were filled with bloodthirsty red light, like a mad beast.
Later, he did just that.
After Zhou's parents passed away one after another, I lost my only support, and Zhou Chenyan no longer had any concerns.
In order to avenge Zhou Zhizi, he personally pushed me and my closest relatives and friends into the abyss of no return.
At that time, I was powerless to resist and didn't even have a chance to explain.
But now—
Fortunately, my parents-in-law have not had any accidents yet, and there is still someone to support me.
"Otherwise, I don't mind letting Mom and Dad handle it."
