Marry me, I'm super sweet!

Su Heng's eyes flickered for a moment, "Yu Xi, how can you say such things? She is also your sister. You two should complement each other. If she thrives, you thrive; and if you thrive, she does too. What's wrong with thinking about your sister? I'm not harming you. Otherwise, with your current situation, who do you think would want you? You have neither the education nor the reputation. When your sister gets on her feet, she might lift you up, right?"

Yu Xi, although she had long understood that there was only one Miss Yu in their family—Yu Tian—still felt a hidden pain in her heart to see her own mother so ready to sell her off. It hurt so much that she laughed out loud.

"Mother, if you sell off your daughter and it gets out, can our family really maintain any good reputation?"

"What are you talking about, you disgraceful thing? Those aren't even proper words to speak." Upon hearing this, Yu Xinnong immediately raised his hand to slap her.

Yu Xi lifted her chin, "What, you want to hit me again, do you? Go ahead, even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs. If I die at the hands of the Respected Chairman, he would become famous instantaneously."

Yu Xi's neck was pale, slender, and upright; broken hair scattered untidily upon it.

"You, you, you beast." Yu Xinnong was truly furious, grabbing a stick at hand and striking Yu Xi on the buttocks.

The pain caused Yu Xi to run at once.

As she ran she yelled, "Come look, Chairman Yu is going to kill his own daughter!"

The servants from the side also ran out to stop it.

Wielding the stick, Yu Xinnong pointed at Yu Xi, "Nobody stop me. This beast, better to kill her now, spare the disgrace she brings upon us outside."

Chaos erupted in the household once again.

Yu Tian was also coming out from inside the door when she saw what was happening and hurried over to stop her father, "Dad, Dad, don't hit sister, please stop."

Yu Tian had heard everything from behind clearly. This was, in fact, her own wish. The Zuo family was somewhat displeased with her because, even though her father was the Speaker, he held little power, and their family was not considered a match for the Zuo family. So, after much thought, she settled on the Lin family. She couldn't approach them herself, so she spoke to her affectionate mother about it over a few days, and it was her mother who then condescended to cajole Yu Xi. However, Su Heng was not good at coaxing people, and now she would push Yu Xi even further away.

If Yu Xi was driven away by being beaten now, what would she do?

When Yu Xi saw Yu Tian, she immediately grabbed her and used her as a shield.

While doing so, she said, "Sister, we truly have a deep bond. You take these hits for me."

Yu Tian, always soft and delicate, couldn't muster more strength than Yu Xi. Blocked in front and unable to escape.

Yu Xinnong's blow landed on Yu Tian as well, his brow furrowing in distress, his anger at Yu Xi intensifying.

Seeing the door, Yu Xi quickly pushed it open and ran out.

Yu Xinnong immediately shouted, "You beast, come back here."

"Even as a beast, I follow your example, huh," Yu Xi retorted with a tilt of her head and a snort.

Yu Xinnong was seething with rage, but it was Yu Tian who quickly intervened, "Mom, Dad, let me check on Sister. Don't worry, it's too dangerous for her to be out alone this late. I'll call her back immediately."

Yu Xi hadn't expected to run into someone as soon as she went through the door.

As she lifted her head ready to curse, she stopped short upon seeing the handsome face before her.

Zuo Jinglun.

Back when her heart first fluttered for this graceful man in white, she had adored him beyond reason. Scolded by her family for two weeks, she had insisted, "I just like him," only to turn around and find...

He was about to become her brother-in-law, and in her belly...

At that moment...

Yu Tian had run out after her, and seeing Zuo Jinglun standing there with Yu Xi, her eyes flickered before she hurried over.
