Yu Jue had just entered the house when he heard the news of Yu Yao’s return from the servant, Auntie Zhang. Before he could rejoice, he heard from Auntie Zhang that the two young ladies were having an argument.
He remembered that in his previous life, Yu Yao and Yu Wan had a bad relationship. The sisters often quarreled and sometimes even fought.
Yu Wan had a sweet tongue and knew how to act coquettishly. She always wanted everyone to know that she was injured so they would feel sorry for her.
Yu Yao, on the other hand, had to hide her wounds. Even as her older brother, it was not until after a long time that he realized how much she had suffered in the past.
The moment he awakened his memories from his previous life, Yu Jue had secretly sworn that he would never let her suffer such grievances again in this lifetime. He would trust his younger sister unconditionally and give her the firmest support he could.
Then, he would defeat his competitors and become Yaoyao’s favorite brother!
However, seeing Yu Yao and Yu Wan standing, laughing, and crying together, Yu Jue was at a loss.
What could he do? The scene of Yaoyao being wronged was not happening. How was he going to continue acting as her reliable brother?
Yu Jue fell silent for a while, and Yu Wan’s cries gradually died down.
Yu Yao, on the other hand, did not wait for Yu Jue to make things difficult for her. She shot a strange glance at Yu Jue, whose eyes were full of conflicting emotions.
Yu Wan stood up while sobbing and walked unsteadily towards Yu Jue. “Third Brother, Sister kicked me in the stomach just now. I think I’m injured. Can you take me to the hospital for a checkup?”
Yu Jue returned to his senses and subconsciously avoided Yu Wan, who was throwing herself into his arms. Then, he saw Yu Wan stop crying and reveal a look of disbelief.
Yu Wan was indeed the same as she had been in her previous life. She liked to pretend to cry to gain the sympathy of others after suffering a little injury. However, in his previous life, he had been an actor for decades. How could he be deceived by her clumsy acting now?
Yu Jue waved at Auntie Zhang, who was watching the show from the entrance. “Auntie Zhang, come over and help Second Miss to her room to rest.”
Yu Wan and Auntie Zhang were both shocked by Yu Jue’s unexpected answer. Even Yu Yao had to admit that she didn’t know what her brother was thinking.
Among the three of them, Auntie Zhang was the most baffled. Her mind was filled with question marks. “Third Young Master, what did you just say?”
Yu Jue was impatient. “Was I not clear enough?”
Auntie Zhang hurriedly said, “B-But Miss Wanwan is injured? She was beaten up!”
Yu Wan also revealed a sobbing expression at the right moment and looked at Yu Jue pitifully.
However, there was no heartache or pity on Yu Jue’s face.
Yu Jue looked at Yu Wan helplessly. “Wanwan, I know Yaoyao hit you, but she only slapped you once. How could she have hurt you?”
“Third Brother? How could you say something like that?” Yu Wan put down the hand that she was using to cover her face and showed Yu Jue the red and swollen palm print on her cheek. “What do you mean by ‘only slapped me once’? Look at what she did to me!”
“Why is it so swollen?” Yu Jue was also a little shocked. He said to Yu Yao, who was watching the show, “Yaoyao, your arm must be quite strong now.”
“Pfft…”
Even though she didn’t like the Yu family, Yu Yao had to admit that she was delighted by Yu Jue’s amazing response.
Realizing that he had made her younger sister laugh, Yu Jue was only left with a feeling of satisfaction and smugness. How could he even think of Yu Wan, whose face was red and swollen, looking miserable?
Yu Wan finally confirmed that there was something wrong with Yu Jue and Yu Yao today. She knew that Yu Jue had always been simple-minded and she had liked this aspect of him. After all, she could easily control Yu Jue and achieve her goal thanks to his stupidity.
However, Yu Wan had not expected that one day, Yu Jue would break out of her control and stop following her lead.
“Third Brother?! Why are you doing this to me?” Yu Wan lost her composure and cried, “You promised me that you would treat me as your biological sister. You promised me that you wouldn’t treat Yu Yao better than me! Now, you’re just watching her hit me and doing nothing to stop it. Do you no longer consider me your younger sister?!”
“Don’t let your imagination run wild,” Yu Jue placated her. “Of course you’re my sister.”
Yu Yao, who had been indifferent all this time, suddenly lost interest in watching the show. As expected, it was time for them to act out their scene as siblings who were deeply in love. She didn’t want to stay and be their audience.
She also didn’t want to be restricted by the Yu family’s meaningless storyline.
She remembered that she had only returned to collect her identification documents, so she walked towards her room on the fourth floor.
Yu Jue subconsciously wanted to follow Yu Yao, but Yu Wan tugged at the corner of his clothes.
Perhaps the comforting words earlier had worked. Yu Wan probably felt that Yu Jue was still her good brother who would do anything for her.
“Third Brother, you admit that you’ve always treated me as your biological sister. You’ll definitely stand up for me, right?” she wheedled.
Yu Jue was in a hurry to get to Yu Yao and improve their relationship as siblings, so she was feeling a little impatient. “Why should I?”
“Well, it’s Yu Yao who’s causing trouble for me. Third Brother, you’ve seen how serious my injuries are!”
“Wanwan, haven’t you had enough?” Yu Jue frowned at Yu Wan.
“Although Yaoyao has a strong personality, she has never caused trouble with you for no reason. She only retaliated after you provoked her. What do you want me to do about it?”
This Yu Jue was too unfamiliar. Yu Wan opened her mouth but did not even know what to say..
