Chapter 99 I Don't Want to Be Your Brother
Upon receiving the marriage certificate, Yun Zhaozhao felt neither as relaxed nor disappointed as she had imagined; she was simply somewhat stunned. As soon as she came out of the police station, she saw Fu Shangluo waiting there.
“Zhaozhao”.
Fu Shangluo spotted the divorce certificate in Yun Zhaozhao's hand at a glance and smiled: "Congratulations!"
Yun Zhaozhao smiled upon hearing this: "Why would Brother Shangluo come?"
"I received the news so I came to pick you up to celebrate. I've already contacted Zhou Xiao and Wen Jingyu, and you're the only one missing."
Fu Shangluo's joy was undisguised; he was genuinely happy.
He did indeed contact Zhou Xiao and Wen Jingyu. When Yun Zhaozhao arrived, the two of them were already there. Wen Jingyu even opened a bottle of champagne: "Come on, Zhaozhao, congratulations on escaping this sea of suffering."
"……Thanks."
Yun Zhaozhao felt somewhat helpless.
Fu Shangluo seemed exceptionally happy. He, who was usually not very talkative, frequently asked Wen Jingyu to drink with him today, and even Zhou Xiao could sense his joy.
Zhou Xiao tugged at Yun Zhaozhao's sleeve: "Baby, your brother Shangluo is a bit high."
Yun Zhaozhao felt a headache coming on when she saw Fu Shangluo's expression. She had told him before that even though she and Pei Jiuyan had broken up, it didn't mean she would be with him. She really only saw Fu Shangluo as an older brother.
"Actually, it would be good for you to be with Fu Shangluo. You know each other well, and he treats you well."
Zhou Xiao said in a low voice.
Yun Zhaozhao shook her head: "Never mind, I don't plan to be with another person for the time being."
Fu Shangluo was indeed a good choice, but the two were too familiar with each other, and she didn't even have the thought of giving it a try. Others could try things out and break up if it didn't work out, but she and Fu Shangluo were practically family, and she didn't want to cause him to leave for several more years.
Moreover, she didn't want to put Fu Shangluo in a difficult position. During her visits to the Fu family, she could clearly sense the attitudes of Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu. Although they were still kind to her, it wasn't as good as before. Furthermore, Aunt Fu's words only mentioned the long-standing friendship between the two families, without ever mentioning any intention to take her relationship with Fu Shangluo further.
With Pei Jiuyan, she learned many lessons, one of which was that relationships not approved by family members would inevitably lead to conflict sooner or later, and she didn't want to compromise herself in the future.
Yun Zhaozhao made up her mind to talk things out with Fu Shangluo later.
Fu Shangluo was genuinely happy. Even though he was usually very restrained, he drank too much today. Yun Zhaozhao called a driver to take Fu Shangluo home.
In the car, Fu Shangluo suddenly said, "Zhaozhao, I'm really happy."
Originally, he thought he would have to think of some ways to separate Pei Jiuyan and Yun Zhaozhao, but he did not expect Yun Zhaozhao to give him an unexpected surprise.
He couldn't help but gently take Yun Zhaozhao's hand in his.
Yun Zhaozhao had a headache. She had originally wanted to talk things out with Fu Shangluo, but she hadn't expected him to be so drunk.
"Zhaozhao!"
Fu Shangluo stared at Yun Zhaozhao, his eyes growing darker and darker. He slowly moved closer to her, but Yun Zhaozhao quickly dodged away.
"Brother Shangluo, you're drunk."
Yun Zhaozhao pulled her hand away and said earnestly, "Brother Shangluo, you will always be my brother."
Although Fu Shangluo had drunk quite a bit, he was not completely unconscious, and his eyes became somewhat stubborn.
"Zhao Zhao, you know I don't want to be your brother. I told you this seven years ago."
What brother would have desires for his sister? What brother would think about his sister all the time?
"Zhaozhao, give me a chance."
Fu Shangluo said somewhat forcefully.
This side of Fu Shangluo felt somewhat unfamiliar to Yun Zhaozhao. He was always polite and gentle. Yun Zhaozhao frowned and said, "Brother Shangluo, I'm sorry."
Sorry again!
Fu Shangluo clenched his teeth and remained silent.
Seven years ago, she said the same thing to him.
When he learned that she liked Pei Jiuyan, he finally couldn't help but confess his feelings. Yun Zhaozhao was stunned at the time, and after she realized what he meant, she said the same thing: Brother Shangluo, I'm sorry.
Why do I always have to apologize to him? Why do I always have to reject him?
Seeing the pain on his face, Yun Zhaozhao felt a pang of sympathy. "I'm sorry, Brother Shangluo."
As soon as she finished speaking, Fu Shangluo growled, "Don't apologize to me anymore. Don't apologize to me again."
"Yun Zhaozhao, what I've never wanted is your apology."
"I don't understand, why can Pei Jiuyan do it but I can't? Tell me, what exactly makes him better than me? Tell me! Tell me!"
Fu Shangluo was extremely agitated, and he held Yun Zhaozhao's hand tightly, refusing to let go for even a moment.
Yun Zhaozhao did not expect Fu Shangluo's emotions to be so out of control; he had even scratched her painfully.
"Brother Shangluo, you're hurting me."
Yun Zhaozhao cried out in pain.
Fu Shangluo seemed to have been burned, and suddenly let go of her. When he saw the red mark on her wrist, his expression changed, and he said "Sorry" before hurriedly getting out of the car.
Seeing him stumble and fall into the Fu family's gate, Yun Zhaozhao sighed and asked the designated driver to park the car before taking a taxi home.
When she came out of the shower, the marks on her hands were even more obvious, turning bruised and black. Because she had a baby, she didn't dare to apply any medicine. The next day, her wrists were swollen.
"What happened? Did Pei Jiuyan do it?"
When Grandpa Huang learned that Yun Zhaozhao and Pei Jiuyan had obtained their divorce certificate, the first person he thought of was Pei Jiuyan.
Yun Zhaozhao felt somewhat helpless. Although Pei Jiuyan was a scoundrel, this matter really couldn't be blamed on him.
"It wasn't him, Grandpa, I bumped into it by accident."
As soon as Yun Zhaozhao finished speaking, she heard Grandpa Huang say, "Do you think your grandfather is old and blind?"
There are obvious fingerprints on it. Did he really think he couldn't see them?
Yun Zhaozhao could only say helplessly, "It was Shangluo who accidentally did it. He drank too much last night."
Upon hearing that it was Fu Shangluo, Old Master Huang was taken aback at first, then frowned. He had always admired Fu Shangluo, but today he had a different opinion.
He has such poor self-control. He can do this to Zhao Zhao just because he's drunk. If the two of them get together and have a conflict, wouldn't he resort to violence?
He didn't say anything in front of Yun Zhaozhao, but after Yun Zhaozhao left, he immediately dialed Grandpa Fu's number.
The two had been friends for a long time, and he didn't hold back his words, scolding Old Master Fu. Old Master Fu was furious but could only endure it. After waiting for his old friend to finish scolding him, he asked the servant to call Fu Shangluo, only to learn that Fu Shangluo had gone out again soon after returning yesterday and had not returned yet.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Fu became somewhat anxious. His eldest grandson was drunk and instead of resting at home, where had he gone? Could something have happened to him?
