When Chen Kai returned home, he saw that the lights in the house were on, so he turned on the lights casually. With a glance, he saw that the living room was a mess, as if it had been robbed.
Along the way, Chen Kai saw plenty of empty bottles lying on the ground, and they were even rolling about with a serious expression. Chen Kai walked straight to the door of Chen Rui's room, raised his hand, and was about to knock on the door, but then suddenly realized that the door was only half hidden.
Everything was now clear to him. It seemed that his sister, who had done many 'bad things' in private, also had something that she needed to discuss with him.
Chen Kai then pushed the door open, and saw Chen Rui dozing off on the floor, and then looked around at the circle of wine bottles lying around her, some of them were not even finished and were poured on the ground, shining with white light as they flowed all the way to Chen Kai's feet. Before he could even open his mouth, Chen Rui sensed his presence, and suddenly smiled at him, "You're back? "Big brother?"
It was such a rare occasion for Chen Rui to greet someone so obediently. Of course, Chen Kai could tell that Chen Rui probably drank quite a bit while he was not drinking, and she did not have to endure any of the family meetings anymore. Being able to drink so much made Chen Kai feel quite a bit of shock, but no matter how hard he drank, it would not be good for his body.
Chen Kai saw that she was going to pick up another bottle of beer and hold it against his mouth, so he naturally wouldn't allow her to continue hurting his body like this. He hurriedly snatched the bottle of beer from her before she could take action, and reminded her, "I have something to tell you, but you need to do your best to stay awake."
"I can tell you while I'm drinking. I'm still very sober." Chen Rui raised his hand in dissatisfaction towards Chen Kai, and commanded, "So before I listen to you properly, I have a condition: Return the wine bottle to me."
"You can't drink anymore. Chen Rui, I am your brother, and have the right to stop you from continuing to harm yourself. Do you understand?" Chen Kai walked over and slapped Chen Rui's hands away, then squatted down and picked up all the bottles that he had opened or not yet opened up, and placed them on the table beside him.
Chen Rui, on the other hand, did not have much of a reaction towards Chen Kai confiscating his wine bottle, but he still felt that he had gotten used to Chen Kai's parent-like discipline. It was probably because he was drunk and did not have the strength to compete with him.
Chen Kai walked to Chen Rui's side and trampled on her hands, and said impatiently: "Get up, I have something to tell you."
Chen Rui sat on the ground indifferent, but raised his head and looked at Chen Kai who seemed to not know what was happening and asked with a silly smile, "What's wrong big brother? Is there anything else we can say between us? "
Chen Kai frowned slightly as he looked at her, carrying her in his arms and throwing her onto the bed. Seeing her smiling face, wanting to close his eyes and sleep, Chen Kai knew that she was doing this on purpose to hide the fact that she was not willing to face his problem, and thus went straight to the point, "No matter what you think of Mu Jinxi, I hope you won't face her with your temper as a young miss."
Chen Rui immediately ran out of the bed and looked at Chen Kai with an expression of disbelief. "It's Mu Jinxi again?" Chen Rui grabbed his hair and scratched it a few times, making himself look like a madman. Then, he continued, "Why do all of you have to say 'Mu Jinxi' and 'Mu Jinxi' every single time? Could it be that to you all, I, Chen Rui, am really not important at all? "
Chen Kai had already anticipated that Chen Rui would have such a reaction, and asked her, "You always keep asking her why he was always mentioned being protected, then did you really think about why so many people were willing to take the initiative to protect her? Did you reflect on everything you did to her? "
Chen Rui frantically grabbed his own hair and shook his head, "What did I do? What can I do to her? " Chen Rui asked Chen Kai, and suddenly knelt in front of Chen Kai and roared: "Tell me, what have I done to her that makes you hate me, and increase the things that everyone feels for her? "Do you tell me?"
Chen Kai looked at her and did not say anything, but the truth was that although he looked calm on the outside, he already felt an abnormal heartache from Chen Rui's current berserk. But the truth was, Chen Rui had done so many things, she really deserved such a punishment.
Only she had to choose to hurt the other person he loved, and he should have told her, in his own way, that she was not the only person in the world he had to protect.
And when Chen Rui acted on his own and bullied Mu Jinxi, in this aspect, Chen Kai felt that he had to teach her this one time.
"Chen Kai, what are you saying? Why didn't you answer my question? On what basis do you think she should be able to receive your love with Murong Shaoyang? Oh, no. "
She looked at the unknown direction as if she suddenly realised something, and nodded, "Oh, that's not right. Everything was just too much for me, in truth, you guys only felt pity for her, and it was not some so-called love that made me jealous. Brother, you protecting her was just out of pity for the poor, right?"
's unreasonable actions made Chen Kai feel helpless, but at the same time, he also felt that it was unreasonable. He opened his mouth to refute something, but Chen Rui did not give him any chance.
"I know that you have always been kind to the poor. Every time you encounter a flood or something, you will ask the company's Finance Department to allocate some money to them. So towards Mu Jinxi, your attitude is the same as towards those people who have suffered, right?" Chen Rui's eyes were wide opened, he looked like he was about to be driven insane by his' conceited 'act.
Chen Kai was very clear on the reason why she had become like this. He reached out his hands to hold her in his embrace and caressed her head, trying his best to sound like he was consoling his injured little sister with his pampered voice, "I know that the truth has caused you to feel immense oppression and grievance these past few days. I also know that you have deep feelings for Murong Shaoyang …"
"I don't have a deep attachment to him... He said I was just used to him and had to rely on him. He said I didn't really love him and he said I always thought too much of myself … " Chen Rui, who was still in Chen Kai's embrace, slowly started to sob. Chen Kai could only sigh silently, but wasn't he the same? When he proposed to become Mu Beibei's father, not only did Mu Jinxi reject him, even Mu Beibei, who was always on good terms with him, raised his opposition.
"What does Murong Shaoyang want to do?" Chen Kai could not resist asking this question. After hearing it, Chen Rui struggled out of her embrace and said coldly, "Murong Shaoyang doesn't want to do anything, the one to be questioned should be you. Do you think I do not know that you like that woman?"
"I …" Chen Kai turned his face away, not wanting to look straight at the question. However, Chen Rui had long wanted to ask this question, how could he let Chen Kai off so easily? Chen Rui got down from the bed and walked in front of Chen Kai, forcing him onto the wall step by step. Chen Rui looked at him seriously and asked, "Are you going to admit it?"
Chen Rui treated this half-way through his speech as something that could be grasped easily, but in reality, it was the clearest way to retort against Chen Kai's words.
"You and Murong Shaoyang are both very important people to me. If he dares to confess his attitude towards Mu Jinxi, and that Murong Shaoyang dares to abandon me because of her, then why don't you dare do what he dares? Why would you like and prefer to stay here and cause trouble for me rather than compete fairly with your competitors for what you want? If you have the time to interrogate me, you might as well act bravely and pursue your own happiness, Chen Kai. "
Chen Rui approached her step by step. Chen Kai looked at her, his deep eyes displayed an abnormal sadness as he looked at her and said, "Chen Rui, I had competed before, but Mu Jinxi isn't destined to be mine. She's destined to be with Murong Shaoyang, why can't you understand? Ah? Chen Rui, do you really think that I am so weak and that I like to stand here?
After hearing Chen Kai's emotional confession, Chen Rui shook his head and retreated a few steps back. His words had probably stirred up something that she had always been afraid of deep in her heart, and that terrifying feeling of longing continued to grow in her heart.
It was like an evil seed that had been sprinkled with elixir, continuously devouring her patience and all her expectations. Her jealousy, however, received a huge amount of nourishment, and slowly, hatred started to grow crazily. She was afraid of her incomparable fear.
But all this warned her not to approach love as she liked, and not to always be habitually full of hope, true despair often suddenly and coldly interrupts all your expectations at the moment you most expect, and what is left for you, apart from the remnants of your dreams and the countless disappointments, is a beautiful but not lasting fantasy that society has created for you.
Then, the injured person will ignite the flame of hope once again. Even though I clearly know that no matter how hard I persevere on the path I pursue, there won't be a sword as sharp as the protagonists, at least, I'll be able to kill the opponents that obstruct me with just a slight swing.
Chen Rui shook his head, and said uncomfortably, "For Murong Shaoyang, I already felt that I was in enough pain. Why did I love him to the point where I would rather bow down to him, and give everything I had to be able to do it, but why was I only able to get rejected and abandoned in the end?"
"Chen Rui..." Chen Kai really did not think that his own sister would actually be able to endure so much. He had always treated her as a childish sister that had not grown up yet, and had even treated her as a girl that was still in her teens. He would occasionally bicker with his brother, and they would even start a fight because of their disagreements.
No matter if it was the troubles in life or in love, it all seemed to have happened because of Murong Shaoyang.
Chen Kai finally made a decision. After speaking to Chen Rui, regardless of whether she widened his eyes or rejected him, Chen Kai said to Chen Rui with certainty, "I must do this. In order to take revenge on his heartless heart towards you, in order to punish your foolishness."
"Aren't you?" Chen Rui objected in dissatisfaction, "Now they aren't. Humans have to learn to grow up and know when to give up and grasp the opportunity to not embarrass others, learn to be smart, sister."
