Lin Yang couldn't help but yawn.
She couldn't help but sigh inwardly. This little girl, Xu Chenghuan, was even more talkative than her. Her complaints about Xu Chengzhi were like an endless river. How much bullying had she suffered at Xu Chengzhi's hands?
"Sister-in-law, do you think my brother went too far? He said the perfume I was wearing was too strong. He used to smoke a pack of cigarettes every day, and that smell was even worse, okay? He even made me inhale secondhand smoke. He's trying to indirectly murder me! But luckily, sister-in-law is amazing. She helped my brother quit smoking." After complaining about Xu Chengzhi, Xu Chenghuan obediently flattered Lin Yang.
Lin Yang yawned until tears streamed down her face, then nodded mechanically; her neck was a little sore.
Through my teary eyes, I looked up and vaguely saw a tall figure at the corner of the mahogany staircase. Why did he look so familiar?
"Xu Chenghuan, are you having a good chat?" That voice sounded familiar, filled with clenched teeth, as if he wanted to skin Xu Chenghuan alive as she continued her incessant chatter.
"Brother... Brother?!" Xu Chenghuan was so flustered that she couldn't move her arms and legs, her face filled with guilt and fear.
She... is probably going to die.
Xu Chenghuan remembered that there was a surveillance camera upstairs and realized that his life was nearing its end.
As the tears faded, Xu Chengzhi's figure came into Lin Yang's view.
He strode over aggressively, his face grim.
"Ah, sister-in-law, save me!" Before Xu Chengzhi could even reach her, Xu Chenghuan screamed and hid behind Lin Yang.
"Come out yourself, or do you want me to come and get you?" Xu Chengzhi stopped in front of Lin Yang, looked past Lin Yang's petite figure, and looked at Xu Chenghuan, who was hiding behind her and trembling.
"No! Sister-in-law, save me! If I go out, my brother will beat me to death! He's so mean to me!" Xu Chenghuan squeezed behind Lin Yang again, continuing to complain about Xu Chengzhi with a wronged expression.
Lin Yang turned around to comfort Xu Chenghuan, patted her head, and then said to Xu Chengzhi, "Why are you getting angry with a child? Look how scared you've made her."
Xu Chengzhi glanced at Xu Chenghuan, who was hiding behind Lin Yang and even dared to make faces at him. "Xu Chenghuan, you can hide now. When your sister-in-law comes home, let's see where you can hide."
"Sister-in-law, look at my brother~" Xu Chenghuan tugged at Lin Yang's sleeve and acted coquettishly.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. He's just trying to scare you. He won't dare." Lin Yang continued to soothe Xu Chenghuan.
Lin Yang found it incredibly pleasant to have a little girl acting cute in front of her, a stark contrast to Xiao Zheng, that tough guy, acting cute in front of her.
Under the threatening look in Xu Chengzhi's eyes, Xu Chenghuan tugged at Lin Yang's sleeve again, "Sister-in-law, you don't know..."
How could her brother not dare?
Back in my most rebellious teenage years, when I followed Brother Jiang into the underworld, what didn't I do?
He would come back covered in blood every day, his eyes devoid of any light, and he had lived in a daze for so many years.
Fortunately, with only six months left before the college entrance exam, her brother suddenly changed his ways. For some unknown reason, he not only turned over a new leaf and stopped fooling around outside, but also locked himself in his room every day to study diligently.
To everyone's surprise, he was admitted to University A with the highest score in the city.
Her brother's past deeds, when recounted in detail, were quite legendary.
"Young Master!" A servant suddenly entered, interrupting their conversation.
"What is it?" Xu Chengzhi's expression grew even more displeased.
He clearly instructed that no one was allowed to come in and disturb him.
"There's someone at the door who keeps insisting on coming in, saying they know you and the young mistress!" The servant explained, bowing her head, why she had no choice but to come in.
