The younger sister pretends to be hypnotized, and her older brother gets addicted.

Jiang Zhuo gripped his phone tightly.

no!

Ruan Yang and her older brother don't have that kind of relationship.

Qiao Lingling also saw the word "mistress" in the comments, and tears streamed down her face. She helplessly grabbed Jiang Zhuo and pitifully asked for help.

"Ah Zhuo, what should we do? Everyone has misunderstood us."

Jiang Zhuo pressed his temples, feeling only irritation.

Chivalry is essentially a petty-bourgeois whining; when the knight himself is imprisoned, the top-down sympathy disappears.

He was a little tired.

He had always been under his older brother's protection, and only needed to pursue his own passions.

But when he wanted to become someone else's protector, he discovered that it was not an easy thing.

He can't even take care of himself, so how can he shoulder the fate of another person?

In the evening breeze, Qiao Lingling coughed violently, as if she were about to cough up her lungs.

I thought of her little life left.

Jiang Zhuo sighed.

He looked at Zhou Shiji, covered the microphone, and explained, "Lingling isn't the kind of person the internet says she is. Can you help her clarify the rumors circulating online?"

"Bang!"

Zhou Shiji punched Jiang Zhuo in the face. Caught off guard, Jiang Zhuo staggered a few steps and dropped his phone on the ground.

Zhou Shiji: "Jiang Zhuo, you're blind and playing the hero. You've made Yangyang sad for this kind of trash, and you expect us to play along?"

Jiang Zhuo, already seething with anger, retaliated by punching Zhou Shiji, shouting, "Are you even a brother?!"

Zhou Shiji was annoyed. "If it weren't for Ruan Yang, who would be your brother!"

Jiang Zhuo paused.

"What do you mean?"

Zhou Shiji, still angry, blurted out, "The literal meaning is that we're all waiting for you to break up with Ruan Yang so you can take her place."

Boom—

A clap of thunder sounded, and Jiang Zhuo's head began to throb violently.

Wow! What a show!

"The moment I saw your girlfriend, I knew I was going to be friends with you!"

So this confirms that Ruan Yang is indeed Jiang Zhuo's ex-girlfriend, right?

[Qiao Lingling is confirmed to be a mistress!]

[How could she have the nerve to say she'd never been a mistress when she played "Truth or Dare"?]

Ruan Yang is still too dignified!

……

Thunder rumbled in the clear night sky, interrupting the live stream as everyone returned to their courtyard to take shelter from the rain.

Jiang Zhuo was still thinking about Ruan Yang kissing his older brother.

As soon as he returned to the courtyard house, he went to find Ruan Yang.

Qiao Lingling followed, clutching her clothes helplessly. "Azhuo, I want to apologize to Miss Ruan... I've taken up too much of your time lately, and I'll explain things to her properly."

Jiang Zhuo nodded: "That's fine."

The cell phone rang.

Qiao Lingling answered the phone, and a voice on the other end cursed, "You shameless slut! You're a mistress! Go to hell!"

She turned pale with fright and quickly hung up the phone.

Immediately afterward, the phone rang again.

They still criticize her for being a mistress and call Jiang Zhuo a scumbag.

Qiao Lingling could no longer bear the injustice and covered her face to cry.

"Ah Zhuo, I'm sorry... This period has been the happiest time of my life. When we were little, my sister and I were disliked because we were girls. Our parents didn't like us, and they divorced and remarried. In high school, I didn't have money for food, and you helped me top up my meal card. I've always remembered that... But I never expected it would cause you so much trouble."

Jiang Zhuo was somewhat bewildered.

Jiang Zhuo didn't remember what she said, but she always did.

Jiang Zhuo couldn't describe her feelings.

He said, "I'll take you to Ruan Yang and ask her to help clarify these rumors online."

The two arrived at the door of Ruan Yang's room.

The courtyard house wasn't soundproof, and amidst the pattering rain, Ruan Yang's trembling voice could be heard from inside the room.

"No more, it hurts so much..."

Another deep male voice rang out: "Then I'll be gentle, you relax."

Jiang Zhuo's eyes darkened as a terrible scene flashed through his mind.

A surge of anger rushed to the top of his head, and he slammed the door open.

"What are you doing?"

The door was pushed open, and Ruan Yang was seen sitting on the sofa, her knees red and swollen, while Jiang Yanci was applying medicine with iodine and cotton swabs.

Jiang Yanci glanced over, "Breaking into a girl's room in the middle of the night, is this how the Jiang family teaches you manners?"

Jiang Zhuo gritted his teeth, "Big brother, why are you in Ruan Yang's room so late?"

"Is there a problem?"

Ruan Yang spoke up, interrupting Jiang Zhuo's interrogation, which sounded like he was catching someone in adultery.

Her indifference made Jiang Zhu clench his fists.

Jiang Zhuo's lips tightened, and he compromised, saying:

"Ruan Yang, whether you remember or not, I will marry you as promised. But now netizens misunderstand that Lingling is a third party. If you help her clarify this, I can go and register our marriage tomorrow."

Ruan Yang: ?

Her head hurt even more.

"I won't get a marriage certificate with you."

Ruan Yang originally wanted to tell Jiang Zhuo at a suitable time, but Jiang Zhuo is becoming increasingly abnormal.

In the original novel, Jiang Zhuo couldn't wait to be with Qiao Lingling.

But why is she acting like she absolutely has to marry me now?

Is it possible that the plot couldn't proceed without her, the villainous female supporting character, causing trouble?

But in any case, she didn't want to get any more involved in the plot.

Ruan Yang's eyes were firm. She took Jiang Yanci's hand and, under Jiang Zhuo's gloomy and horrified gaze, mustered her courage and said, "Actually, my older brother and I—"

Just then, Qiao Lingling suddenly covered her mouth and vomited. Under the bright light, the scarlet color between her fingers could be seen.

is blood.

Qiao Lingling was also startled by the blood; her face turned ashen, and she fainted.

Everything happened too fast.

Jiang Zhuo went forward to help, but suddenly also felt dizzy.

My stomach was churning, and the pain made my lips drain of all color.

"Xiao Zhuo?" Jiang Yanci realized something was wrong and reached out to help him.

Then, the sound of parents yelling during dinner could be heard from outside: "My son Yaozu is vomiting and has diarrhea! It must be something wrong with the food you made! Come out here!"

It's a coincidence that something happens to one person.

But now all three of them are in trouble.

Ruan Yang suddenly remembered something and immediately grabbed Jiang Yanci, "Call an ambulance quickly, the green beans are poisonous!"

……

The resort originally wanted to suppress the matter of the poisonous green beans.

Although it has nothing to do with the resort, it's still not something to be proud of.

But Yaozu's parents seemed very polite, but when their precious son got into trouble, they made a huge scene.

Jiang Zhuo and Qiao Lingling had just finished their stomach pumping and were still unconscious when their parents started demanding compensation from them while livestreaming.

Netizen: [I finally realize the authority Ruan Yang has in refusing to feed the children!]

Meanwhile, Ruan Yang and Jiang Yanci, the only two people who didn't eat green beans, were busy at the hospital until midnight.

They only went back to rest after everyone was out of danger.

When Jiang Zhuo woke up, he saw a slender figure vaguely visible beside the bed, wearing a white T-shirt.

Having narrowly escaped death, Jiang Zhuo felt as if he were seeing a revolving lantern.

He recalled many moments he had spent with Ruan Yang.

I also dreamed that in his previous life, he left the wedding and got into a car accident, but wasn't discovered immediately.

The wedding proceeded as planned.

It was his elder brother who took his place and married Ruan Yang. The two exchanged rings and even kissed in front of all the guests.

Jiang Zhuo woke up with a start.

No, it won't happen.

That was just a dream.

Jiang Zhuo has always been moved by the letter Qiao Lingling wrote after her death in her previous life.

Chinese people value respect for the dead, and he felt both moved and guilty.

Especially after his rebirth, he felt that this was God's chance to make amends to Qiao Lingling.

But only now does he realize that being reborn might not be about making up for Qiao Lingling's regrets, but about making up for the mistake of leaving Ruan Yang alone at the wedding.

Jiang Zhuo raised his hand and pulled the girl on the hospital bed.

"Yangyang, I'm sorry, I only realize my feelings now..."

The girl was startled. "Second Young Master, you're awake. I'm the caregiver that the Eldest Young Master hired for you."

Jiang Zhuo focused his gaze and finally saw a completely unfamiliar face.

Jiang Zhuo was taken aback.

"Where is Ruan Yang?"

The caregiver thought for a moment, "After the young master gave me some instructions, he carried Miss Ruan back to the old house."

...hugging?

Jiang Zhuo thought of the scene from the truth or dare game last night.

He didn't know what he was doubting, but despite having tubes inserted in his body, he got up from the hospital bed and weakly returned to the old house.

There weren't many people left in the old house; they'd all been transferred to the hospital.

Two figures entered his line of sight beside the shimmering blue pool.

The tall man sat on the shore, pulled the little girl in the pool into his arms, and kissed her lips.

"Baby, are you feeling better now?"
