Si Jin straightened her clothes and hailed a taxi.
He sat in the back seat and then pressed the call button: "Hello?"
A moment later, Jin Ning's sorrowful sobs came from the other end: "Jin Jin, are you busy right now? Do you have time to listen to your sister?"
Her voice choked with emotion, like a woman with nowhere else to turn, still concerned about whether her younger brother was busy even at this point.
If Si Jin had just met her, perhaps he would have really felt sorry for her.
But now...
"Busy, hanging up."
After saying that, Si Jin decisively pressed the button on her phone and looked straight ahead.
Jin Ning did support the original owner's education all these years, but she herself had affairs with men, became pregnant out of wedlock and gave birth to Li Xiao, yet she blamed everything on the original owner.
While supporting the original owner's schooling, she created a repressive atmosphere at home and frequently beat and scolded the original owner.
The original owner tried to work to raise tuition fees, but she went straight to the restaurant and scolded her, saying that the original owner was not doing anything productive and had to go home to study.
Outsiders might think she dotes on her younger brother, but in reality, even after the original owner returned, she still had to do all the housework, listen to her complaints 24/7, and hear things like this every day—
"Jinjin, it wasn't easy for your sister to support your education all by herself. You must be successful. If you don't win an international award, you'll be letting your sister down. You must never forget how good your sister is to you!"
The original owner endured it all.
Originally, I thought things would change after I went to university, but then Jinning wanted to remarry again. She remarried twice, three times, and four times, because she found it troublesome to take care of children.
Li Xiao was practically raised by the original owner of the body.
She asked the original owner for money, demanding up to the age of twenty-four. Then, wanting to flatter Ying Chengliang, she tricked the original owner into going to the laboratory and taking his life.
Now they're pretending to be such a loving sibling? Si Jin finds it disgusting.
The original owner had already repaid all the debt of gratitude for being raised while he was alive. Did he really want to continue to be sucked dry by this shameless mother and daughter?
Don't ask, the answer is I'm too busy.
Sure enough, the phone rang again within three seconds.
Si Jin lowered her hand and decisively added the phone to the blacklist. Letting her talk for even a second longer would be disrespectful to the phone's battery.
Twenty minutes later, Si Jin entered the house and had just changed into slippers when the phone rang again.
This time it was an unfamiliar number, but I knew who it was from.
He picked up the phone casually: "Hello?"
"Jin Sijin! Have you forgotten how your sister treated you when you were little? Without me, you wouldn't be where you are today. And now I can't even get through to you on the phone?"
"You've really grown up and have no regard for family ties at all. Believe me or not, I'll go to my parents' graves and sue you. Aren't you afraid of diminishing your blessings?"
In just twenty minutes, Jinning completely changed his attitude, remaining as unreasonable and suffocating as before.
Si Jin leaned back on the sofa, chuckled, and asked in return, "Then do you know where Mom and Dad's graves are now?"
Jin Ning: "Of course I know..."
"My parents' graves were moved five years ago." Si Jin interrupted her, "Do you know where it is?"
The other person was speechless, so Si Jin continued, "Oh, I remember now, you haven't visited your parents in over ten years? Only now do you think of them? Aren't you afraid..."
After a meaningful pause, he said, "Aren't you afraid your parents will take you away?"
Jin Ning on the other side was clearly stunned. He took three or four deep breaths, and when he spoke again, his tone had returned to its feigned pitiful state.
“Jingjing, you can hate me, but you can’t just ignore Li Xiao. She’s been pushed out to take the blame by Ying Chengliang. The crime of building an underground laboratory to study merfolk is enough to get her executed!”
The woman cried desperately, trying to move Si Jin with her familial affection.
"No matter what, you raised Li Xiao yourself, and she's closest to you, her uncle! Waaaaah~"
