Chapter 75 My Younger Sister
Su Ruan pouted and remained silent, while Song Feiwan sighed.
"I think you're just using the Song family as a cover. You're actually just angry that Gu Jinyuan kept it from you, deceived you, and might even be using you. Isn't that right?"
Su Ruan muttered, "It was his fault to begin with, so why should I forgive him so easily?"
"Yes, yes, it's his fault. My older brother deserves it. Speaking of which, he's so cruel and bloodthirsty, I also think it's not suitable for you, little white rabbit, to be with him."
"How about this, I'll take you away today, and we'll forget about him?"
Song Feiwan grabbed Su Ruan's wrist and started to walk out. Su Ruan followed her awkwardly, but before they even left the garden, Gu Jinyuan stopped them.
His eyes betrayed his anxiety. "Song Feiwan, I sent you here to persuade her, not to stir up trouble. Is your Song family tired of living again? I don't mind sending someone else to cause more trouble."
"Gu Jinyuan—" Su Ruan's eyes blazed with anger, "Why are you always like this? You don't care at all what others think. I'm utterly disappointed in you..."
Su Ruan broke free from Song Feiwan's hand and stormed back. Gu Jinyuan chased after her in a panic, trying his best to defend himself.
Song Feiwan stood behind the two of them with her arms crossed for a long time, then shook her head.
These two are truly examples of those who are blinded by their own involvement, while bystanders see things clearly.
They clearly love each other so much, yet they insist on acting out.
Maybe her older brother just likes girls like Ruanbao who are cute and a little dramatic. He's happy with that, so she doesn't want to get involved.
Su Ruan returned to her room, leaving Gu Jinyuan, who had come to apologize, outside the door.
She lay in bed carefully considering what Song Feiwan had just said, and it seemed to make a lot of sense.
Now that the Song family has forgiven Gu Jinyuan, what exactly is she insisting on?
Everyone says that Gu Jinyuan truly loves her, but when exactly did he begin to love her? The answer to this question is very important.
I tossed and turned, thinking about it for half the night, but still couldn't get a definite answer.
Su Ruan didn't know when she had fallen asleep, but when she opened her eyes, a cute baby face with a slightly chubby face appeared in front of her.
"Who are you?" Su Ruan asked, startled.
The girl cupped her cheeks and smiled at her, "I'm Gu Jinyuan's sister, a half-sister. My name is Natasha!"
“Sister? Natasha!” Su Ruan carefully examined the newcomer and indeed found that she looked very much like Gu Jinyuan.
"Then why haven't I seen you in almost a month since I arrived?" Su Ruan asked curiously.
“Uh…” Natasha stopped smiling and said in a low voice, “You have already heard about what happened to my eldest brother when he was a child. My father and mother were very harsh on him, and my second brother always wanted to harm him.”
I couldn't bear to do it, so I saved him several times. It was because of this kindness that I survived the family upheaval. I felt I had let my older brother down, which is why I chose to go to university in another city.
But as soon as I heard that my older brother had brought his wife back, I immediately took a plane back. I was very curious about what kind of woman could tame my arrogant and unruly older brother.
The moment I saw you, I knew the answer. Sister-in-law, I like you. You and my brother are a perfect match.
"Thank you." Su Ruan looked into Natasha's earnest eyes and nodded somewhat shyly.
Natasha looked around and asked curiously, "Sister-in-law, where's my brother? I've been back for ages and haven't seen him."
Su Ruan said somewhat petulantly, "Who knows? He's always appearing and disappearing like a ghost. I can't leave the manor, so I don't know what he's busy with."
Natasha lowered her voice, her eyes sparkling, and asked, "Is it possible that my older brother is preparing for a marriage proposal?"
"A proposal? Why? We're already married!" Su Ruan was completely confused.
“I heard from the servants that you seem to have some misunderstanding about my elder brother. I guess he’s just trying to appease you, to win you back, and to give you a good start.”
"Really?" Su Ruan's heart softened, and her tone became gentle. "He's such an idiot."
“Yes, my older brother is very stupid.” Natasha sighed as well, and sat down to face Su Ruan and said softly, “My older brother has suffered a lot since he was a child.”
I remember when I was very young, the first time I saw him was in an abandoned storage room. I was very naughty back then, playing hide-and-seek with my second brother.
I ran to the storage room and hid. I heard someone humming softly. When I turned around, I noticed a boy chained up in the corner of the room.
I was both scared and curious, but I went over anyway and found the boy covered in bruises and running a high fever. I couldn't wake him up no matter how much I called him. Terrified, I ran to find a doctor and threatened him for a long time before he finally agreed to save the boy.
Later, after the boy woke up, I learned that he was actually my half-brother. But the way he looked at me was terrifying, like a crazed wild beast that wanted to devour me.
I slowly pried into the servants' words and learned that he had been living a life worse than that of pigs and dogs for many years, even worse than the filthiest latrine sweeper on our estate.
I would visit him whenever I had time, bringing him some delicious food. After spending five years of time together on and off, he slowly began to trust me.
Later, as you know, he built his own power base, overthrew my father's rule, and became the new master of the Rothschild family.
My parents and second brother were all dealt with by him, but I was the only one who wasn't implicated. He doted on me and gave me whatever I wanted, treating me like the little princess of the whole family.
I love him very much and admire him. I feel deeply guilty towards him and hope that someone can heal his unhappy childhood.
I've finally been waiting for you today, sister-in-law.
Natasha looked at Su Ruan with teary eyes. Su Ruan was deeply shocked. Gu Jinyuan had only briefly described to her that he had been abused by his parents when he was a child, but she had never known that Gu Jinyuan had been abused in this way.
They were treated like dogs, chained up and raised in an abandoned storage room.
Her heart sank suddenly, as if she had been stabbed many times.
"What else happened to your older brother when he was a child? Could you tell me about it again?" Su Ruan grabbed Natasha's hand.
Natasha seemed startled, and tried to pull back but then stopped. She smiled sweetly again and pulled Su Ruan by the hand, saying, "Come with me, I'll tell you about our manor. We can talk as we walk."
"Okay." Perhaps Natasha shares half of her blood with Gu Jinyuan, or perhaps she looks somewhat like him.
Su Ruan felt an inexplicable sense of closeness to her, and since she was determined to reconcile with Gu Jinyuan, she would inevitably have to stay at this manor for a long time in the future.
It's also necessary for her to maintain a good relationship with her sister-in-law.
The two strolled hand in hand through the manor, and whenever they passed a place that evoked memories, Natasha would stop and tell Su Ruan a story.
For example, she described in great detail their secret hideout, the torture chamber where Natasha brought food to Gu Jinyuan when he was being punished, and the cruel methods her parents and second brother often used to execute people.
Su Ruan always felt cold all over when she walked through those places.
She couldn't help but sigh inwardly, wondering what kind of twisted family this was, so violent and ruthless from top to bottom for thousands of years.
I wonder if Gu Jinyuan will become so cruel in the future.
