Never contacting each other in the future…
Emotions appeared in the depth of Xu Weilai’s gaze. She laughed softly. However, Xu Zhanwang didn’t know what she was laughing. Was she laughing because she thought that his words were too childish or did she think that he was joking?
“Sister!”
Xu Zhanwang held Xu Weilai’s hand suddenly and clutched them tightly. He looked at her intently with his black eyes and continued, “I mean what I say. If you’re willing, I will be able to do it!”
Xu Weilai tilted her head and looked at him. She asked in a lazy tone, “Oh? How will you do it?”
“I…” Xu Zhanwang’s gaze flicked for a moment. He hesitated for half a second before deciding to say it. “I don’t want to study anymore. I want to work. Sister, an entertainment company laid their eyes on me. They want to sign a contract with me. The bonus for signing the contract is quite hight. If I’m able to make my first public appearance, I will be able to earn money. I will pay back the one billion RMB that we owed the Gu family!”
He knew his older sister’s temper. She didn’t like to owe people anything. Even if that one billion RMB was the betrothal present the Gu family gave the Xu family, to Xu Weilai, she felt that it was a debt she owed the Gu family. Hence, before she cleared this debt, she wouldn’t allow herself to leave the Gu family.
Xu Weilai wasn’t really surprised. However, a sorrowful emotion appeared in her gaze. Her tone was still calm when she asked, “What happens after that?”
“What do you mean?” Xu Zhanwang didn’t understand her intention so he frowned and asked her back.
Xu Weilai sighed softly. She held Xu Zhanwang’s hand and said slowly, word for word, “You will start to overwork yourself without knowing the limit. You will lose all your dreams and all your ambitions. You will become a tool for making money. Zhanwang, this kind of life is very tiring.”
She raised her hand and touched her brother’s soft hair. “Also, I’m your older sister. Even if the sky falls down, I will hold it up. When did it become your turn to be stubborn?”
She couldn’t decide what kind of family she was born in or what kind of parents she would have. She also couldn’t decide the responsibilities she needed to take on for her family. But… only one person was needed to live for the family’s sake. She didn’t hope that her younger brother would be brought into this endless whirlpool too.
She wasn’t a noble person. It was just that she cared about, she really cared about her younger brother whom she grew up with, the younger brother whom she held his hands and raised him step by step.
Xu Weilai was unwilling to accept this answer. “I know that you’re thinking for me but do you know that when you cared about me, I cared about you too? Am I supposed to act like our parents? Am I supposed to be cold-blooded and watch you without doing anything when you’re suffering and living a bad life?”
He shouted in a low voice angrily, “I can’t do that!”
Xu Zhanwang understood Xu Weilai well. Similarly, Xu Weilai understood her brother too. He was young, hot-blooded, and stubborn. It was very easy for him to walk on the wrong path because of his impulsiveness. Thus, even if… it was a lie, she was willing to do it.
“Who said that I’m suffering?”
Xu Weilai raised her hand. The pink diamond on her ring finger was dazzling. She smiled and continued, “I’m very happy to be able to marry Gu Yu. That is the best thing that has happened in my life!”
Once.
Xu Weilai added the last word in her heart silently.
Xu Weilai’s declaration made Xu Zhanwang frustrated. Actually, he didn’t believe what she said but he knew that his older sister liked Gu Yu. It was just that… it had been three years. Does she still love Gu Yu? But, Gu Yu treated her so badly…
