I know how to cry, beg for mercy, even threaten with my life. The more I resisted, the more violent he became.
I smiled miserably, my hands hanging limply down, closing my eyes and turning my head to the side. I gave up resisting.
He passively endured the waves of impact until he fainted.

When I woke up the next morning, I was in the same bedroom I'd slept in three years ago.
Wang Xinran pushed open the door and walked in, bringing me a cup of hot milk. "Little Wei, you suddenly fainted yesterday. Fortunately Yu Jin found you in time, and brought you back to your room. "
Hearing Yu Jin's name, I tightly clenched my fist under the blanket as my teeth creaked.
Wang Xinran noticed my abnormality and patted my shoulder, "Actually, Yu Jin did it for your own good as well. You have already been away from home for three years;
I didn't say anything. I dragged my aching body out of bed and went to the window.
There was a mourning hall downstairs, and Yu Jin stood there, greeting everyone who came to offer their condolences. His parents and the servants were all waiting outside.
When I looked down, Yu Jin just so happened to raise his head to look at the second floor's window. When he saw me, he smiled gently and waved me over.
I didn't want to go downstairs, so Wang Xinran pulled me and walked outside, "You guys are one family, don't make our relationship so complicated, it's better to just go out and say hello."
After exiting the room, Wang Xinran dragged me in front of him to smooth things over.
"My punishment yesterday was a bit too severe, is Little Wei angry with me?" Yu Jin's smile was as warm as jade. He was completely a considerate and tolerant gentleman, as if he was a different person from yesterday, when he was in the room on the third floor.
He is still the same as he was in the past. In front of outsiders, he is flawless, but when he is alone with me, he will turn into a cold-blooded beast.
Seeing that I was not saying a word, Wang Xinran helped me explain, "Jin ge, Little Wei just returned home yesterday, she might not be used to it, she even said that she wanted to apologize to you."
Yu Jin laughed, "I am her brother, no matter what she does, I will forgive her. There is no need for apology between families. "
Wang Xinran's face was filled with worship towards Yu Jin, "Brother Jin, Little Wei is so blessed to have a brother like you."
The butler came in and whispered a few words into Yu Jin's ears, causing Yu Jin to turn around and stroke my head, "Little Wei, you just woke up, go eat something first, I'll be fine here."
I didn't look at him. I turned and walked faster and faster. I just felt like I had a pair of eyes on the back of my head.
Back in the room, Yu Jin had already had the food placed on my table.
I stared at Wang Xinran's face. "You clearly know that Yu Jin is a bastard, why are you still trying to please him?"
"Little Wei, in the three years since you left, your parents had handed over everything to Yu Jin regarding the family and company. He is now the Patriarch of the family. Since you have returned to the Yu Family, you must learn to get along with him. "
Wang Xinran sighed, "I'm not trying to please Yu Jin, I just want him to treat you better in the future."
I was silent.
Yu Jin is good to me? How is this possible!?
Three years later, I fell into his hands again.
After a while, the servant knocked on the door and walked in. "Miss Wu, you have come. Please go meet her."
I searched my mind. I don't remember ever knowing this Miss Wu.
Wang Xinran explained to me, "Wu Xia is your brother's fiancee. The two of them dated for a year and got engaged only last month."
A rumbling sound filled my mind, as if it had exploded. I repeated Wang Xinran's words again and again. Since I have a fiancee, why would I do that to me?
Does he want to lock me in for the rest of his life?
I muddle-headedly followed Wang Xinran down the stairs. A woman was holding onto Yu Jin's arm, greeting my parents with a smile.
Seeing me go downstairs, her mother pulled her over, "Little Wei, this is Wu Xia. She's going to become your sister-in-law soon."
Hearing my mother's words, Wu Xia was very happy, she took a step forward and held onto my hand, "Little Wei, I heard that you suddenly fainted yesterday, is it alright?"
I shook my head and glanced at Yu Jin's fair face. A wave of hatred churned in my heart.
Yu Jin ignored the hatred on my face and calmly stared at me, "Little Wei, why are you not greeting me at all? Call her sister-in-law! "
Wu Xia blushed and pulled Yu Jin's arm, "Don't be mean to her, I'm fine."
I sneered. "Big sister Wu, marrying a man is a life and death matter. I can't let myself be bewitched by some people or else it would be too late for me to regret it in the future."
My ridiculing words immediately caused Mother to be dissatisfied, "Little Wei, the reason why your brother punished you with that imprisonment was for your own good. When did you become so insensible?"
Wu Xia was embarrassed, she stood at the side not knowing what to say.
Instead, it was Yu Jin who smiled and spoke up for me, "It's fine. It's true that the punishment lasted a bit longer yesterday, and Little Wei has not calmed down yet.
He looked into my eyes and suddenly laughed, a laugh that chilled me to the bone.
Wu Xia went out to send her off, while her mother stood at her original position, staring fixedly at the backs of the two people.
When Yu Jin and her figure disappeared, Mom looked at me with a grave expression, "Little Wei, do you want your brother to marry Wu Xia?"
It was the first time that I saw my mother's expression so serious. My heart couldn't help but tremble as I subconsciously replied, "Of course."
Mom nodded and held my hand as we walked inside. "When your big brother gets married, his heart will be at ease. You too …"
Halfway through my mother's words, she suddenly stopped in her tracks, and gave me a secretive look. "Little Wei, there are some things, don't blame your brother."
Something?
What was she talking about?
