Her sister, Fang Xin, has always been smart and capable. She was the apple of their parents’ eye, and no one had ever laid a finger on her. This damn brother-in-law actually hit her?

“Where’s Qin Jianmin! I’m going to cut him into pieces!”

“Tong, don’t!”

Fang Xin hurriedly hugged Fang Tong from behind to stop her from moving. “Qin Jianmin did hit me, but I’m no pushover either. His arm is broken and so are two of his ribs. He’s still lying in the hospital!”

“He got away easy!” Fang Tong was still very angry. “Why did he hit you? Was it because our family was down and out that he’s revealed his true colors?”

“I found out that he’s been using our family name to borrow money. He probably has something to do with the group’s cash flow going negative so quickly, which eventually bankrupted the Fang family. But he found out when I wanted to investigate further, so… After that, we got divorced.”

Fang Xin briefly told her the whole story. “By the way, Tong, how are you now? Did the people at school bully you?”

Fang Tong shook her head. “I’m doing very well. Don’t worry about me.”

Fang Xin’s heart ached for her sister as she held her hands. “I’m sorry, Tong. I said that I would come and get you in three months, but…”

“It’s okay,” Fang Tong comforted her sister. “I haven’t had a chance to tell you that I got married. I’m now living with the Gu family and they are very good to me! Sister, why don’t you come live with me at the Gu’s residence?”

“What?” Fang Xin’s expression changed drastically. “You got married? Which Gu family?”

Fang Tong pursed her lips and whispered, “Gu Nancheng.”

Fang Xin was completely shaken up when she heard this.

Although she was overseas, she was well informed about happenings in the Gu Corporation. Gu Nancheng was a comatose patient who could die anytime. Her sister, who was as beautiful as a rose, married a comatose patient?

“No, Tong! Come with me to the Gu family now and get a divorce! I absolutely cannot allow you to marry a person in coma!”

“No, I won’t go.”

This was the first time Fang Tong went against her sister’s wishes. “The Gu family has been very kind to me. They have been taking care of me all this while, treating me like family. They also bought our family villa. What would happen to the villa if we got divorced? Will we have the money to pay them back? And the debts that our parents owe… How will we continue with our lives?”

Fang Xin gritted her teeth. “Don’t worry about these things! Even if I have to sweep the streets, I’ll put you through school. You must get a divorce! If our parents found out that you’re married to Gu Nancheng, they’d be so sad!”

“Sister!”

Fang Tong sat her sister down on the sofa and persuaded, “Gu Nancheng isn’t as bad as you think. Although he can’t move or speak, at least he won’t bully me! Now that mom and dad are gone, there are only two of us, women, in the Fang family. Who knows how many ill-intentioned people are eyeing us? Who knows what will happen to us? With the Gu family, at least we are protected!”

“But…”

“Besides, I’ve always felt that there’s something fishy about what happened to our family business. Dad is still missing, and it would take a lot of time, effort and resources to find out what really happened. Other than the Gu family, who will help us?”

Fang Xin was silent and stared at Fang Tong for a long time before she said, “Tong, is Gu Nancheng really worth it?”

Fang Tong nodded without hesitation. “He is! I am willing to stay by his side and take care of him.”
