After those words were spoken from outside the door, the room was silent for two seconds.

Jiang Yu sat on the edge of the bed, the screen light shining on her face, her fingers still hovering in mid-air.

Knock, knock.

Jiang Ruoruo knocked twice more.

There wasn't much noise.

But the barely suppressed anxiety could be heard even through the door.

"Sister, are you afraid to open the door?"

Jiang Yu closed her eyes.

bother.

It's really annoying.

She's like a shrimp that's just been pulled out of a hot pot, not yet cooled down, and then thrown back in.

A small ball of light emerged from beside the bedside table, whispering: [Host, the hostility level outside the door is too high; she's about to cause trouble.]

"Do you even need to tell me?"

Jiang Yu put her phone face down under her pillow, stood up, and slipped on her slippers.

She didn't open the door immediately.

I walked up to the mirror and took a look.

Fortunately.

The spot on my ear where Jiang Yu'an touched me was a little red, but not very noticeably.

She took a deep breath and walked to the door.

The door lock clicked open.

Jiang Ruoruo stood blocking the doorway, her hair disheveled, her eyes red and swollen.

But there wasn't much grievance in those eyes.

More than anything, it was resentment and sharpness.

Jiang Yu leaned her shoulder against the door frame and crossed her arms.

"Have you finished asking?"

Jiang Ruoruo was stunned for a moment.

"What?"

"Didn't you just ask me what my relationship was with my older brother?" Jiang Yu raised her chin. "I'm opening the door now, you can continue."

Jiang Ruoruo bit her lip, her gaze sweeping across her room.

Is the bed messy?

Is there anything on the table?

Where is the phone?

Jiang Yu found this little trick ridiculous.

She stepped half a step to the side, making room for the doorway.

"Want to come in and search?"

Jiang Ruoruo's expression changed: "Sister, don't say such unpleasant things."

"You waited at my door in the middle of the night asking me what my relationship with my brother was, and I'm supposed to make you a cup of tea?" Jiang Yu curled her lip. "Jiang Ruoruo, do you think the whole world owes you something?"

Jiang Ruoruo's eyes were truly red this time.

Her voice trailed off.

"I just saw my brother do that to you..."

"What did you do to me?"

Jiang Yu interrupted her.

Jiang Ruoruo clenched her fingers.

"He served you food, spoke up for you, and... he even touched your hair."

Jiang Yu looked at her.

She suddenly felt like laughing.

I'm not happy.

It's absurd.

Jiang Yu'an's side is already scary enough.

Jiang Ruoruo insisted on coming up to add some firewood.

"So?" Jiang Yu asked, "He spoke up for you, didn't he? Mom has been comforting you, hasn't she? Dad almost got into a fight with your older brother over your marriage. Why don't you ask them what their relationship is with you?"

Jiang Ruoruo was blocked.

Tears rolled down her cheeks.

"You know perfectly well that's not what I meant."

Which one are you referring to?

Jiang Yu took a step forward.

Jiang Ruoruo instinctively stepped back.

The corridor light fell between the two of them.

Jiang Yu's voice was not loud, but it was very clear.

"If you really think that my brother and I have some kind of shady relationship, then go knock on his door right now."

Jiang Ruoruo's lips moved slightly.

Jiang Yu raised her hand and pointed to the study at the end of the corridor.

"He's in the study."

"Go ask."

"Ask him why he put food on my plate, why he touched my hair, why he interfered with my schooling, and why he wouldn't let you marry Huo Ming'an."

She paused.

"Do you dare?"

Jiang Ruoruo didn't say a word.

Jiang Yu stared at her.

"You don't dare."

This sentence hit Jiang Ruoruo's sore spot.

Her tears fell even harder.

"Jiang Yu, you're always like this. You've taken everything from me, but you still pretend to be innocent."

Jiang Yu was amused by those words.

"What did I steal?"

She counted on her fingers.

"You're getting your place back, Jiang Jiazhen's daughter."

"The marriage to the Huo family is yours."

"Your parents have been doing everything for you these past six months."

"The family reunion banquet is yours."

"Huo Ming'an crashed today, and I sat in a corner drinking water the whole time."

Jiang Yu looked up.

"Jiang Ruoruo, what exactly do you want me to give up?"

Jiang Ruoruo's face turned pale and then red as she was asked the question.

She stared intently at Jiang Yu.

"You stole my older brother away."

This sentence was spoken very softly.

It was so light it felt like it was squeezed out from between the teeth.

Jiang Yu's heart sank suddenly, and the smile on her face completely disappeared.

For a moment, no one spoke in the corridor.

Jiang Ruoruo seemed to have finally spoken out the darkest things hidden in her heart, and her whole body stopped trembling.

She looked up.

"I've been back at the Jiang family for half a year, and my eldest brother hasn't visited me as many times as he's visited you in a single day."

"I was wronged, and he asked me if I was willing to marry Huo Ming'an. But then he turned around and put food on my plate."

"I am his biological sister."

"Jiang Yu, you are no longer that."

That's a very accurate statement.

Jiang Yu's fingertips twitched.

She can argue with Huo Ming'an, and laugh at Jiang Ruoruo for asking for trouble.

However, the phrase "not her biological child" remains her most awkward and vulnerable point.

The little ball of light remained silent.

It was unusually quiet.

Looking at Jiang Ruoruo's red, tear-filled eyes, Jiang Yu suddenly felt it was all meaningless.

Jiang Ruoruo dislikes her.

She also disliked Jiang Ruoruo.

But it seems that both of them are trapped in this house.

That's pretty absurd.

Jiang Yu opened the door wider.

"Jiang Ruoruo, this is the last time I'll say it."

"If you want your brother's attention, go find him."

"If you want your parents' love, go find your parents."

"Whether you want to marry Huo Ming'an or not, go and tell them."

She pointed to herself.

"Stop bothering me every time. I'm not your personal customer service representative."

Jiang Ruoruo was stunned.

Jiang Yu was about to close the door after she finished speaking.

Jiang Ruoruo suddenly reached out and pressed down on the door panel.

"Then dare you say you have absolutely no other feelings for your older brother?"

Jiang Yu stopped moving.

"I don't."

The three words were spoken very quickly.

No hesitation.

Jiang Ruoruo didn't believe it at all and pressed him relentlessly.

"What about the eldest brother?"

Jiang Yu frowned: "Go ask him."

"Why do you always make me ask him? What are you afraid of?"

Just as Jiang Yu was about to speak, the sound of a doorknob turning came from the end of the corridor.

They both turned their heads at the same time.

The study door opened.

Jiang Yu'an stood at the boundary between shadow and light.

He had taken off his suit jacket and was only wearing a white shirt.

The temperature in the corridor suddenly dropped a few degrees.

He turned his head slightly.

His gaze swept over Jiang Ruoruo's hand on the door, then fell on Jiang Yu's face.

"What's all the noise about?"

It's a very simple sentence.

Jiang Ruoruo immediately withdrew her hand.

Her voice softened instantly, as if someone had grabbed her by the tail.

"Big brother, I just came to confirm the specific details of school starting the day after tomorrow with my sister. I might have been a little too loud..."

Jiang Yu: "..."

Good guy.

That's a really fast change of expression.

Jiang Yu'an looked at Jiang Yu.

"Yeah?"

Jiang Yu leaned against the door frame, not covering for her lie.

"no."

Jiang Ruoruo suddenly looked at her.

Jiang Yu spoke calmly.

"She asked me what our relationship is."

The air in the corridor felt thin.

Jiang Ruoruo's face had completely lost all color.

"Brother, that's not what I meant, I just..."

Jiang Yu'an raised her hand to interrupt her.

He didn't get angry.

He didn't even frown.

But Jiang Ruoruo couldn't utter a single word after that.
