After three years of misplaced affection, Mrs. Yu is no longer willing to pretend to be obedient.

At six o'clock in the evening, Jane rang the doorbell at her front door right on time.

"Ailing, I was just about to call and ask where you are." Wang Shuqin opened the door and looked at her with a smile.

"Mingtai Road was very congested earlier, so I arrived a little late."

"I knew it! You don't have to be so punctual, arriving exactly at six. You can come back earlier and chat with Mom and Dad."

"I'll be earlier next time." Jian Ailing smirked and followed Wang Shuqin inside.

"Dad." Jian Ailing looked at Jian Hui, who was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper.

"Ailing, you're back." Jian Hui put down his newspaper and smiled at her as well.

"Is my brother upstairs again?"

"Yes," Wang Shuqin replied, "Why don't you go upstairs and call him down for dinner?"

"Okay." Jane Ailing slowly went upstairs. Jane's room was at the very back. She first went through her own room, and then through Jane Aying's room.

Those two rooms are now empty and remain as they were.

As Jane walked by, she instinctively turned her head to look at her.

Memories struck unexpectedly; something she didn't want to recall suddenly came to mind.

She had thought countless times about forgetting, letting go, and forgiving her family.

But whenever she thinks about that incident, she feels that letting go and forgiving are nothing but self-deception.

As long as she hasn't forgotten, it's impossible for her to be completely indifferent.

Jane Ailing unconsciously pushed open the half-closed door and went into her sister's room.

Although no one lives here, there is not much dust.

It seems this place is regularly cleaned.

The bed sheet was even the same one she had slept on back then...

After that incident, Jian Ailing would never forget the look in Yu Yunting's eyes when he regained his senses.

There was confusion, bewilderment, and shock, which gradually turned into uncontrollable rage.

His facial expression at that moment was quite interesting, but he wasn't happy at all.

Jane Ailing didn't know what her expression was like at the time; she only knew that she was filled with anger at being betrayed and humiliation at being schemed against.

He didn't say a word to me, turned around, picked up his clothes, and left.

He didn't even look back at her again.

After he left, Jane remained lying on the bed, her mind still wandering.

She was not fully conscious yet; she still felt a splitting headache and a dull ache deep within her body.

Jane Eyling would rather just stay unconscious in bed and never wake up.

What's going on? She's sleeping in her sister's bed with her sister's fiancé.

That's absolutely absurd.

Seeing Yu Yunting's expression, Jian Ailing understood that her parents' plan was most likely to fail.

She not only ruined her reputation, but she also couldn't expect to get anything good out of him.

Does sleeping with him force him to take responsibility?

Is marrying into a wealthy family really that simple?

Back then, my sister was already so favored, so wasn't she careful and cautious every step of the way when she wanted to marry into the Yu family?

Now they've offended him badly right from the start, and they still want him to take responsibility?

They can't possibly hope they'll definitely get pregnant...

Jane Ai-ling became increasingly distraught as she thought about it.

After lying in bed for an unknown amount of time, Jane felt that her strength seemed to have recovered somewhat.

She struggled to sit up in bed, as if she heard a voice calling to her.

"Lingling..."

Jane looked in the direction of the voice, her eyes blank as she stared at the woman who had walked up to her.

"I'm sorry, Lingling... Please forgive your mom and dad." Wang Shuqin hugged her daughter tightly with heartache.

Jane fell into her arms like a puppet, listening to her sobs.

Tears flowed silently, soaking Wang Shuqin's clothes.

"I know you must hate us... but we have no other choice."

"Because you have no other choice, you have to sacrifice me, right?" Her voice was very soft.

But the tears flowed very freely.

"Because I killed my sister, I must atone for my sins, right?"

If only she had been the one who died in the car accident.

Jane couldn't help but think of this hypothesis again.

Wang Shuqin hugged herself without saying a word, her body trembling even more violently.

She wasn't the one who was hurt, so why did she look even more upset than she was?

"Useless mother, Yu Yunting will never marry me. He'll only hate our whole family..."

After that incident, she locked herself in her room and barely ate or drank.

Lying in bed day after day, I felt like a walking corpse.

Wang Shuqin often waited outside the door, coaxing her to eat. She managed to get Jian Ailing to eat one meal a day, so she wouldn't actually starve to death in her room.

Jason would sometimes knock on her door to see what she was doing.

They probably thought she might do something rash and commit suicide inside.

Later, her family members were probably at their wits' end, so they even called Zhou Ze'an over.

But Jian Ailing wouldn't even see her own family, let alone Zhou Ze'an.

After what happened, how could she possibly have the courage to face Zhou Ze'an?

Unexpectedly, Zhou Ze'an was even more persistent than she had imagined.

He wouldn't open the door, so he called. When the call didn't go through, he left a message.

Zhu Yan, too, somehow found out what had happened to her and kept leaving her messages, anxiously waiting for her reply.

Perhaps it was the two of them who made Jane Ailing realize that there were still people in this world who were willing to love her unconditionally.

Later, Jian Ailing took the initiative to reply to Zhu Yan's message and also answered Zhou Ze'an's call.

Although Jane still prefers to stay in her room, she is gradually becoming more willing to communicate with others and slowly opening her heart again, beginning to respond to her parents and brother.

It was at this time that her family told her some news—they had reached an agreement with the Yu family on the marriage, and Yu Yunting was willing to marry her.

The wedding date was set for October 30th—the very date that Yu Yunting and his sister had originally agreed upon.

Next month.

The time and place remained the same, only the female lead changed.

That's dark humor.

When Jane heard the news, she initially thought she was dreaming and remained in a daze for a long time.

How is that possible?

How could Yu Yunting possibly compromise so easily?

Although she didn't know much about this person, Jane Ailing didn't think he was the kind of person who could be easily manipulated.

Later, she pressed Jason for a long time before he finally told her the truth.

It turns out that her family had installed a camera in her sister's room.

That video is probably the real reason why Yu Yunting was willing to compromise.

Although Jane knew things weren't that simple, the truth chilled her to the bone once again.

Did her parents and brother really treat her as family when they conspired to do this?
