"Who is she?" Xu Nianhua looked unfriendly at the woman before her, as hatred bubbled uncontrollably from the depths of her heart.
"She is Ai Jiaxin, a student at South City University." Upon seeing Xu Nianhua’s displeased expression, Xu Nianji knew he must have misunderstood and quickly explained, "Her uncle is the owner of this store."
"Is that so?" Xu Nianhua’s tone lengthened, clearly disbelieving.
"Hello, I’m Ai Jiaxin. You must be Nianji’s sister, right? I’ve heard Nianji say his sister is amazing, having gotten into a university in Ningbei. I’m currently a junior at South City University, and I’m going to be a teacher in the future." If a stranger heard Ai Jiaxin’s words, they would definitely think she and Xu Nianji were very close.
"How do you know I’m his sister, and not his wife?" Xu Nianhua sized up Ai Jiaxin with a mock smile, her straight black hair and a white dress made her look like an unsullied white lotus. In a past life, it was this facade that had deceived her! Dıscover more novels at 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅✦𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾✦𝗇𝖾𝗍
How pitiful she acted when she said she was bullied by my older brother, how she cried for forgiveness on his behalf, and even considered his feelings—back then, I actually thought Ai Jiaxin was kind-hearted for thinking of my brother in such circumstances. Little did I know, she was a wolf in sheep’s clothing!
In just a year, my big brother had aged over a decade and ultimately died by drowning. I always felt that there was something fishy about it, and it was by coincidence that I later unearthed the truth, realizing how unguarded I had been.
The past incident was a conspiracy between Ai Jiaxin and Gu Mingzhu, deliberately scheming against my big brother. Once they succeeded, Ai Jiaxin’s true colors slowly showed. She appeared pure and innocent, but behind the scenes, she was a complete mess. My elder brother, who was all heart and tried to make amends, didn’t want me to worry and kept silent. Moreover, his depression due to Zhou He’s death made him even more indifferent to Ai Jiaxin’s actions.
My big brother’s unexpected drowning was also Gu Mingzhu’s way of forcing me to stay with the Gu Family forever as a walking blood bank for her.
Xu Nianhua took a deep breath, and even her usually calm heart couldn’t settle as she thought of the past. She glared at Ai Jiaxin, determined that, in this lifetime, she would never give Ai Jiaxin another chance to hurt her big brother.
"Little sister, you’ve misunderstood," Xu Nianji said, sensing the hostility emanating from Nianhua.
"I’m sorry, I need to explain something to my sister," he apologized to Ai Jiaxin, who spoke gently and wasn’t upset by the misunderstanding, only worried that Nianji would be misunderstood by his sister.
"Big brother, I never expected you to be this kind of person." Xu Nianhua was half pushed, half guided aside by Xu Nianji and gave him a sarcastic look as she thought of Zhou He, who was at home with the kids; she felt it was so unfair on Zhou He’s part!
Xu Nianji looked at his little sister with a headache, wondering why his sensible sister had become so unreasonable. He explained, "You really misunderstood, I’ve just made a few deliveries here."
"A few deliveries, and she’s already addressing you so affectionately?" Xu Nianhua raised an eyebrow in response, her heart’s hatred unstoppable, and even the words she spat out carried an edge of anger!
She was terrified that her big brother would be schemed against once more and suffer the same fate as in a past life—no, last life her brother wasn’t married to his current wife, but now, they are affectionate as husband and wife. If history were to repeat itself, the family would surely be torn apart!
