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

In the afternoon, Ruan Yang arrived at the restaurant where she had arranged to meet Sun Yiyang.

Sun Yiyang sat in a wheelchair, his face gloomy, and he had lost a lot of weight since he was in the theater troupe, looking emaciated.

If she hadn't confirmed the table number, Ruan Yang wouldn't have recognized her.

Sun Yiyang also saw Ruan Yang, his expression complex, neither remorse nor hatred could be discerned.

"Long time no see," he said. "What would you like to drink?"

Ruan Yang sat down, his expression calm.

She said, "I'm not here to reminisce. You said Jiang Yanci caused the stage accident, do you have any evidence?"

"certainly!"

Sun Yiyang was somewhat excited. He took out a video and handed it to Ruan Yang.

"I record and review every rehearsal. And this man is Jiang Yanci's assistant, surnamed Lu. The moment this person appeared at the theater troupe, I had an accident. Doesn't that prove that Jiang Yanci was responsible for my death?"

Ruan Yang watched the video and only saw Assistant Lu appear in the audience during the rehearsal.

"But that doesn't prove he was the one who caused it."

"What if there's one more thing?"

Jiang Zhuo came out and sat down in front of Ruan Yang.

"Why are you here?" Ruan Yang frowned.

Jiang Zhuo didn't explain. He said, "Do you still remember the school bully who used to bully you back in school?"

Ruan Yang certainly remembered.

She even saw him on the flight back from Suzhou not long ago.

Jiang Zhuo continued, "I beat him up back then, but he only got worse. Later, my older brother found out and gave him a basketball signed by an NBA star. The next day, he transferred schools. We all thought it was my brother's 'soft approach' that worked, but guess what the truth is?"

Ruan Yang's heart inexplicably jumped.

"...What is it?"

When Jiang Yanci arrived at the restaurant entrance, he met Jiang Zhuo's gaze.

Jiang Zhuo's eyes turned cold, and he quickly spoke:

"Yangyang, do you think your older brother is a good person? When he delivered the basketball, he deliberately put a watch worth millions in the boy's pocket. Then, your older brother called the police, saying the watch was missing, and the police found the watch in the boy's pocket."

"Ten million is enough to file a case."

"And the only condition for not prosecuting you is that you apologize to him."

"His parents were even afraid of retaliation from the Jiang family, so the whole family quit their jobs and moved to another city."

After Jiang Zhuo finished speaking, his gaze went past Ruan Yang's shoulder and looked at Jiang Yanci provocatively.

Jiang Yanci stood calmly at the restaurant entrance, the chandelier elongating his broad and slender figure.

The usually composed and refined man had some stray hairs falling across his forehead, yet he still appeared calm. Only his tightly clenched hands betrayed the turmoil within him.

Assistant Lu was right next to them and heard the whole conversation.

Tsk! President Jiang is really a scoundrel!

They even lie to children!

That's it. The mask of tolerance and gentleness that President Jiang put on in front of his wife has been torn off, revealing his true colors as a cunning big bad wolf.

If Mrs. Jiang doesn't want Mr. Jiang anymore, it's the lowly employees like us who will suffer!

Assistant Lu was troubled.

Doubao, Doubao, help me write a resignation letter!

At this moment, Ruan Yang spoke up: "So?"

Jiang Zhuo was taken aback.

Jiang Yanci always had a gentle exterior, but in private he was narrow-minded and sinister. How could Yangyang be so calm?

Ruan Yang spoke calmly:

"I don't think my brother did anything wrong. He was protecting me in his own way. People who bully classmates should apologize, and my brother didn't intend to do anything to him."

"As for his whole family moving away, that has nothing to do with my eldest brother."

"If a child is not taught properly, it is the father's fault. His parents are paying the price for their failure in raising him. If you are speaking up for the bullying boy, then you've come to the wrong person."

"If he isn't punished for this, and he bullies others in the future, especially those who are orphans and grew up with their grandparents who collect recyclables, will he and his parents ever apologize?"

As for Sun Yiyang—

Ruan Yang turned her head and looked at Sun Yiyang.

"I've come to see you today to see what evidence you have."

"You lied to me, saying that partners need to help each other before going on stage. What if some girls actually believed you?"

"You deserve your suffering because of what you did. Your leg injury was caused by your own performance mistake and has nothing to do with my brother."

"If I find out you're spreading rumors again, I'll have my lawyer sue you."

Perhaps even Ruan Yang himself didn't realize it.

Her calm demeanor now is exactly like Jiang Yanci's.

"And you, Jiang Zhuo."

Ruan Yang looked at him, her tone calm and composed.

"You are the eldest brother's younger brother. Everything you eat, wear, and use is earned by him. Your own abilities are simply not enough to cover your current extravagant expenses."

"But you're siding with outsiders, trying to convict him."

"I remember you said yesterday that I saved you, so I should be your benefactor. But what are you doing now?"

"You brought in the person who sexually harassed me, and you're even speaking up for the person who bullied me."

"Do you think I would sympathize with them and blame my brother for protecting me?"

As she spoke, Ruan Yang stood up.

"Jiang Zhuo, not everyone is like you, an ingrate."

Jiang Zhuo's eyes were about to burst.

Ruan Yang turned to leave, but Jiang Zhuo stopped her.

"Yangyang, you shouldn't love someone who's good to you, but someone who's already a good person. But Jiang Yanci isn't one of them."

"I'm his own brother, and he still managed to steal you away from me."

"If one day he stops loving you and falls in love with a younger, prettier girl, have you thought about what will happen to you? You will end up like me and Sun Yiyang, played to death by him."

Ruan Yang paused.

Of all the things Jiang Zhuo said today, only this sentence stirred something within her.

"No, it won't happen." Ruan Yang shook her head.

If Jiang Yanci no longer loves her, then she will take the initiative to file for divorce and leave him far away.

Jiang Zhuo pulled her along, as if to say something else.

Ruan Yang spoke up, "Jiang Zhuo, thank you for telling me all this today. I love him even more now."

Jiang Zhuo's expression changed, "Yangyang—"

He suddenly saw the hickeys under her high collar and froze on the spot, as if petrified.

Ruan Yang withdrew and left.

As soon as I turned around, I bumped into a chest filled with the scent of wood.

She looked up and met a pair of smiling black eyes.

"……elder brother?"

Jiang Yanci smiled. The man, who was usually aloof and distant, now had a warm expression as he held his wife in his arms and looked at Jiang Zhuo.

He was not blamed for his methods.

Instead, she said calmly, "Xiao Zhuo, next time we meet, remember to call me sister-in-law."

His expression was calm and composed, and the way he looked at him was as if he were looking at a naughty child.

Jiang Zhuo was furious. "Jiang Yanci, how dare you ask me to call her sister-in-law? She's clearly your sister-in-law! You seduced her while I was away!"

The coffee shop wasn't crowded, but it wasn't empty either.

Jiang Zhuo is now a celebrity on the internet.

Poisonous green bean holder.

Legendary Durability King.
