Chapter 415 Manipulating the Narrative! Magnanimous Zhang Wei! (3)

"...S-sister in law..."Chen Dong, his gaze fixated on Yu Lei, caught a glimpse of her expression transforming into one of barely contained rage.

The fury in her eyes was growing every second, a silent testament to her outrage over the audacity of any woman threatening Zhang Wei!

Yu Lei's anger, so vivid and dangerous, suggested she was moments away from exacting her own form of justice had circumstances been different.

Misinterpreting Yu Lei's anger as a reflection of the gravity of his sister's actions, Chen Dong's resolve hardened.

With a heavy heart, he led Zhang Wei back to his seat, meticulously arranging the chair beside Chen Yulan, as if to reaffirm their controversial bond in front of everyone.

This act, meant to restore some semblance of order, only deepened Chen Yulan's confusion and distress.

'Hm?' she wondered silently, her eyes wide with uncertainty as she observed her brother's sudden shift in demeanor, the deliberate placement of Zhang Wei next to her sending a clear message she couldn't quite decipher. The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

Zhang Wei, ever the opportunist, took his seat with a triumphant smile, winking at Chen Yulan in a manner that only added to the surreal nature of the moment.

Chen Dong, meanwhile, fixed his sister with a look of profound disapproval. "Yulan! You must treat Zhang Wei well!" His words were laced with a mixture of admonishment and disbelief. "He is such a good man. How could you do this?"

"I thought you were always a good girl, but you!"

The disappointment in his voice was unmistakable, a heavy sigh escaping him as he trembled, not with rage, but with a profound sense of betrayal.

Retrieving a cigarette, he retreated to the edge of the room, seeking solace in solitude, his mind a chaos of thoughts and emotions.

Chen Yulan's heart ached at the sight, her lips parting in a futile attempt to bridge the chasm that had opened between them. "...B-Brother.." The word was a whisper, barely audible, laden with regret and confusion.

"Don't call me brother! How dare you mistreat Zhang Wei! If not for his kindness, do you even know the consequences!?" Chen Dong's voice rose, a mix of disbelief and indignation painting his words.

The gravity of what he believed his sister had done—drugging and violating Zhang Wei—was unfathomable, reshaping his perception of her from a cherished sibling to someone capable of reprehensible acts.

Yet, as she moved to stand before Zhang Wei, her demeanor shifted dramatically, her pout replaced by a beaming smile.

"You asked for my presence, husband?" she inquired, her voice softening, a stark contrast to the fierceness she had just displayed.

Zhang Wei's response was simple, authoritative. "Sit."

"Okay!" Without hesitation, Yu Lei took her place, seated gracefully above him. The tension that had enveloped the room seemed to dissipate momentarily as Zhang Wei fed her, an intimate gesture that shadowed the complex emotions swirling beneath the surface.

Chen Dong, witnessing this, felt a surge of emotions overwhelm him.

The sight of Zhang Wei's apparent magnanimity towards his sister, despite everything, compelled him to act.

Retreating to his room, he rummaged through his belongings, extracting papers from a locker.

He returned, his resolve evident in his stride as he placed the documents on the table before Zhang Wei. "Zhang Wei! I don't really have much to offer! But take these—the property papers of this house and half of the shares in my company!"

His voice was laden with a mixture of desperation and sincerity. "That's all I can give. It can never compensate for the grievance you suffered, but I hope you won't hold it against my sister!"

Chen Yulan's heart sank as she witnessed her brother's gesture. "B-Brother, but why..." The words barely escaped her lips, her mind racing with confusion and sorrow.

The company was their lifeline, built from nothing but their collective dreams and determination.

Why surrender it to someone who had no need for such offerings?

Wasn't he already rich?

"You, quiet! Aren't you satisfied with bullying Zhang Wei so much already? No matter how much we do for him, we still can't compensate him!" Chen Dong's rebuke was sharp, leaving no room for debate.

"..." Chen Yulan's face darkened, a profound sense of isolation enveloping her.

For the second time, she found herself surrendering to the current of events beyond her control.

Picking up her chopsticks, she directed her frustration towards the food, each bite an attempt to quell the storm of emotions raging within her.

The world seemed to conspire against her, each misunderstanding and misjudgment weaving a tighter net from which there seemed no escape.
