Yu Jin said, "I have never treated you as my sister, do you understand?"
I shook my head, tears streaming down my face.
For so many years, other than being her biological daughter, I have been no different from anyone else in any area. Mother and father are very fond of me, and Yu Jin is also very kind to me.
But suddenly, one day, all of this changed.
Yu Jin's neck was still bleeding, but it was as if he couldn't feel pain, and he ignored me. He continued to hold onto my waist with both hands, finishing the exercise that he wasn't done just now.
When he finally stopped panting, he lifted my chin with his hand and felt my lips with his thumb. "Little Wei, I know you hate me, but you can't break free from this shackle. You can only accept this."
"Brother." I looked him in the eye. "Have you ever thought about how sad Mom and Dad would be if they knew?" How will they accept this? "
Hearing my words, Yu Jin suddenly laughed sinisterly.
He pulled away from me like he was looking at a fool. "You think they don't know?"
Know what?
I was stunned. I suddenly thought of something my mother had said to me at my grandma's funeral — 'There are some things. Don't blame your brother.'
The heat was on in the room, but suddenly I felt a chill in my bones, a chill that spread from my heart and ran down my blood to every inch of my body.
Yu Jin sat down on the side of the bed, lit up a cigarette, took a deep breath, and looked back at me while trembling. "From the very beginning, they already knew what my 'punishment' was."
"No, this is impossible …" My face was pale and my lips were trembling. I couldn't believe what he was saying.
Yu Jin scoffed, "Do you really think they will treat you as their own daughter? Three years ago, you wanted to marry Chen Feng, they had many ways to stop you, but in the end, why did they allow you to leave? Because they were afraid that the matter between you and I would be exposed, they wanted to use the method of sacrificing you to sever the improper relationship between us.
Also, they clearly know that I don't have any feelings for Wu Xia, but the moment you came back, they immediately forced me and Wu Xia to marry, don't you think that's strange?
Yu Jin's words were very calm, as if he was talking about today's weather. The words were like deep-water bombs, buzzing in my ears.
"I told Qiao Yuxin to seduce Chen Feng, because I didn't want their scheme to succeed. "It's been three years, and you've finally returned to my side …"
From the way he spoke, it was as if those two people were not his parents, but his enemies.
His words completely overturned everything I knew. I couldn't believe it at all.
After reacting, I crawled up from the bed and beat his chest, "Yu Jin, you're lying! It's fine if you are filthy and vulgar yourself, but to actually frame your parents, you are simply disgusting! "
Yu Jin did not dodge, and saw all of my reactions, "Yu Xiaowei, you still do not understand who is the one who treats you well, then you are really a fool!"
I simply didn't listen to him. I shouted at him emotionally, "I won't believe you, you liar!"
Yu Jin sneered, then suddenly grabbed my hand, trapping me in his embrace. "Think about it, on the car going home in the afternoon, when you said that I would do whatever I wanted to you, why did she suddenly slap you?"
Seeing me stunned, Yu Jin continued to speak.
"There are many explanations for the word 'do whatever you want'. Why did she beat you up without even asking you? Because she knows everything, and she doesn't want you to break this window and ruin Yu Family's reputation! "
I was completely dumbstruck, staring straight into Yu Jin's eyes, unable to believe what he had just said.
All the important people in my life, the father that I loved since I was young, the mother who doted on me, the brother who pampered me, and the Chen Feng who said that he would love me for life …
And now, I don't even know a single one!
It was as if I had suddenly fallen into a strange world, and everything around me had become so frightening.
There was no love here, no family, no warmth, only naked selfishness, greed, and unscrupulous means to achieve one's goal!
I pushed Yu Jin away and looked at him expressionlessly, "I won't believe you. Yu Jin, I won't believe a single word you say!"
I ran out of the old house and down the hill until I knew I couldn't run anymore.
The mountain was already wet from the cold night wind, so I curled up on the side of the road. Looking at the lights in the city below, I didn't know where I should go.
The words Yu Jin said tonight echoed in my mind. I didn't want to believe it, but these few days, it was obvious that Mom and Dad were abnormal.
Everything seemed to be confirming what Yu Jin had said. I wanted to lie to myself, to be unable to even numb myself.
It turned out that in my parents' heart, I was just a useless chess piece.
How childish to think of my willfulness and stubbornness three years ago!
They had foreseen the end of the marriage from the beginning, and had then directed a half-hearted drama, moving with the flow, watching me step by step into disaster.
I didn't know how long I walked along the mountain road, but when the sky started to light up, I took out my phone and called Wang Xinran, telling him to come pick me up.
When Wang Xinran drove over, I was already frozen stiff. I had also lost a pair of slippers, and my body was covered with mud. Her clothes were stained with blood, giving her a fright.
Once we were in the car, I immediately collapsed onto the seat. Wang Xinran caressed my hands, "Why is it so cold? Little Wei, you couldn't have stayed on the mountain all night, right? "
I didn't have time to answer her. Trembling, I took out my phone and sent a message to Chen Feng, inviting him to meet me at a restaurant at noon.
