"Zhao Jia, he is my brother."
Finally, Yu Bai spoke.
On the other end of the phone, Zhao Jia's pride came to an abrupt end, replaced by a brief silence.
"Yu Bai, do you think I will believe you?"
"Your brother? What brother would answer his sister's call like that? Stop lying to me!"
"Also, you kept saying you took my brother to the provincial capital to see a doctor. Were you lying to me?"
"Yu Bai, I've been so good to you, and you actually dared to cheat on me!"
"Are you worthy of me? You..."
Yu Bai's fingers gripping the phone tightened slightly. She didn't expect that at this time, Zhao Jia would still turn the tables.
A surge of anger welled up in her chest, but she took a deep breath and suppressed it.
It’s not the time yet. Now is not the time to fall out.
She had to keep acting.
"Zhao Jia!"
Yu Bai's voice trembled slightly, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
"You misunderstood, it's really my brother..."
"I...my brother was just answering the phone for me."
Yu Bai's voice became lower and lower, with a hint of sobbing, and he looked like he wanted to say something but stopped, looking aggrieved.
Zhao Jia seemed to have grasped Yu Bai's weakness, and his tone became even more arrogant:
"Your brother? If he's your brother, why are you so nervous?"
"Yu Bai, let me tell you, you..."
On the other end of the phone, Zhao Jia's obscene words poured out like a flood.
He didn't even give Yu Bai a chance to speak.
then--
Beep…beep…beep…
Zhao Jia just hung up the phone.
Yu Bai held the phone, frowned slightly, and a hint of unexpected surprise flashed across his face.
Is that it?
She originally thought that Zhao Jia would use this as an excuse to put the blame of "cheating" on her.
Then he 'righteously' proposed breaking up so as to completely get rid of her and pursue Zhou Anan.
But he didn't.
Zhao Jia accused her of cheating and being cheap, but never mentioned the word "break up".
This abnormal behavior made Yu Bai's mind race.
With Zhao Jia's selfish and opportunistic nature, he would never tolerate being cuckolded if there were no greater interests involved.
So, what made him prefer to swallow his anger rather than break up immediately?
The answer appeared in Yu Bai's mind almost instantly.
money.
There is only one explanation for this result.
He was still thinking about her money, or perhaps, he was still thinking about squeezing more from her.
After realizing this, Yu Bai's lips curled up into a barely perceptible sneer.
Instead of being angry, she felt it was just right.
She was afraid that Zhao Jia would break up with her right now. Wouldn't that be too easy for him?
How could Zhao Jia, who had no money, package himself like he did in his previous life?
How could he create opportunities to meet Zhou Anan every now and then, get closer and closer, and finally become entangled with her?
Yu Bai's eyes darkened slightly, and a cold undercurrent surged deep in his eyes.
Zhao Jia, I'm waiting for you.
When you ask for money, I will not only give it to you, but I will also give you more.
I will hold you in high esteem.
Let you lose yourself in unprecedented vanity and satisfaction.
It makes you become complacent, makes you more greedy, and makes you rush towards Zhou Anan faster.
Seeing Yu Bai put away his phone, Yu Cheng, who had been watching silently, finally broke the brief silence in the car.
"Do you need me..."
He didn't finish his words, but his meaning was self-evident.
Yu Bai turned his head and met Yu Cheng's cold gaze, but the corners of his lips unexpectedly curved up slightly, as if he was brushing off dust with ease.
"Fourth brother," she said calmly but seriously, "I can handle this."
After a pause, she narrowed her eyes slightly and added, her tone becoming more serious:
"Zhao Jia, I have to do it myself."
The tone didn't sound like a temper, but more like a declaration.
Yu Cheng looked at the determination in his sister's eyes, and all the words of persuasion he had prepared were stuck in his throat.
In the end, it turned into an almost inaudible sigh, with a hint of helplessness and a hint of indulgence.
My sister has grown up and has her own ideas, especially after experiencing so many changes.
He looked out the window at the night, his voice slowed down a bit, with the gentleness and solemnity that only a brother can have:
"Xiaobai, have you forgotten? You are not alone."
He turned back, his eyes fixed on her, and spoke each word clearly and forcefully:
“You have four older brothers. Every one of them stands behind you.”
"You don't have to get involved in some dirty and messy things yourself. We can..."
"Fourth brother!"
Yu Bai suddenly interrupted him, his voice trembling slightly.
Without warning, a thin layer of red appeared in the eye sockets, and water vapor quickly filled the eyes, making the vision a little blurry.
Yu Cheng was slightly stunned and stopped talking.
He didn't know that these four simple words, "four brothers", were like a hot key that instantly pried open the bloody gate in the deepest part of Yu Bai's heart!
In my previous life, it was the same...
Each of her brothers had been her strongest support.
They all told her that "I have a brother", but in the end, they all died tragically because of her because of Zhou Anan's scheme.
In this life, she must never be so selfish again!
The wings of her brothers should no longer be used to shield her from the wind and rain, until they break into pieces!
Their lives should belong to themselves!
She wants to rely on her own strength to tear apart Zhao Jia, Zhou Anan, and all those who have hurt them!
We must also use the magic of this space to pave a smooth road for our brothers.
Let them stay away from the tragedies of their previous lives, live freely and boldly, realize their respective ideals and ambitions, and shine brightly!
She is here to avenge this grudge!
She will protect this family!
