Yu Jue had never expected that there would be a day when Yu Yao would suspect him of schizophrenia.
He did not know whether to laugh or cry as he said, “What nonsense are you spouting? How is my attitude towards Yu Wan strange?”
Yu Yao did not think that she was overthinking. “Isn’t Yu Wan your favorite baby sister? You actually want to give me money, but not her? Oh right, why don’t you use Yu Wan for this variety show?”
Facing Yu Yao’s suspicious attitude, Yu Jue thought for a while and sighed. “Big Brother and Second Brother didn’t want you to know, but I think you’re smart, so there’s no harm in telling you.”
Yu Yao was confused. “What’s going on? Why are you acting so mysterious?”
“We only found out a while ago that Yu Wan is an ingrate. You’ve suffered so much because of her.”
He looked pitifully at Yu Yao, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa. However, it seemed like he was not only looking at this flower-like girl, but also at a sister who was haggard and aged, through her youthful and beautiful face.
“In the past, we thought that she just didn’t have a good relationship with you. She would speak ill of you behind your back and act like a little girl. But later on, we found out that she had done many nasty things. It wasn’t as simple as her just fooling us.”
Yu Jue recalled that they had only truly seen through Yu Wan’s viciousness and hypocrisy after the Yu family had been taken down in his previous life. He could not help but feel regretful and glad as he said, “Actually, I had previously suggested we chase Yu Wan away directly, but she has powerful backing. Big Brother and Second Brother felt that only by keeping her in the Yu family would she be of more use.”
After that, Yu Jue concluded, “So, how could I possibly let her join me on a variety show as my family member? It’d be even more impossible for me to share my hard-earned money with her!”
As she listened to Yu Jue’s narration, Yu Yao only felt a sense of loss in her heart. That sense of confusion had also appeared after her transmigration. It was as if her entire person was shrouded in fog, and she could not see where she was or the path ahead of her.
Her eyes were unfocused as she muttered, “But it shouldn’t be like this… You guys were willing to send your own sister to a mental hospital for her. How could you suspect her?”
Yu Jue’s heart ached. He quickly hugged Yu Yao and gently caressed her back. “I’m sorry, Yaoyao. I was wrong. I was blind in the past and didn’t know what kind of person Yu Wan was. I also didn’t really understand you either, so we did such a horrible thing. Yaoyao, you can hit and scold us if you want, as long as you give us a chance to make it up to you.”
Hearing Yu Jue’s sincere plea, Yu Yao felt her heart ache. She thought that the part of her body that belonged to her original self had long dissipated, but at this moment, she felt a faint trace of sadness and happiness—these were clearly the feelings that Yu Yao, who valued kinship the most in the past, had developed.
In her previous life, if someone had asked Yu Yao to forgive those who had hurt her in the past, she would have only scoffed. After entering into the novel, Yu Yao had never thought of being able to get along well with the Yu family. She had only wanted to stay far away from them, but the remaining feelings of her original body made her unable to say anything too heartless.
In the end, she only said, “I need to consider the variety show you mentioned. If you don’t have anything else to say, you can leave now.”
Yu Jue seemed to sense Yu Yao’s complicated feelings. He didn’t dare to push her too hard, so he could only return to his own apartment.
No one expected that just a few hours after the incident in the morning, there would already be a huge uproar on the internet against Yu Jue and the Yu family.
Yu Jue had gone to the university to look for his sister and helped her teach a scumbag who extorted and blackmailed her a lesson. This matter was initially only spread among his fans. Yuan Qing, who had first shared the news with her group of friends, only described the situation at the scene in text and had not revealed any photos or videos.
However, she hadn’t expected that Yu Jue’s anti-fans had lurked in the fan group. After they found out about this matter, they started to dig up info on Yu Yao’s university and the whole story of this incident with shocking speed.
Although the surrounding students had heard Yu Jue’s threat, they couldn’t hold back their desire for drama. They discussed the incident on the forum without any malice, nor did they spread any rumors. Instead, most people felt that Yu Yao wasn’t at fault for this matter, so the discussion on the forum was very fair.
However, Yu Jue’s anti-fans didn’t want to know the truth at all. They only cared about whether they could use this matter to smear Yu Jue’s reputation.
Like hyenas that had found their prey, the anti-fans reorganized and reviewed the entire story. They firmly believed that with such a huge amount of dirt, they could definitely cause a huge blow to Yu Jue’s reputation and career!
