I returned to the family alone and obeyed their arrangent to marry soone I had barely t before, obeyed the family's plan to slowly transfer the other family's business to the Zhu Family, and obeyed them in handling every single matter... I beca the proud Second Miss of the Zhu Family, beca the new business star in Huhai, but I also beca the 'bad sister' in so silly fool's mouth.
Zhu Xianglan leaned against the car window, a self-mocking smile on her face. At this mont, as she looked at her younger sister in the distance, her eyes were filled with nothing but doting affection.
Xu Musen silently observed her; the experiences of the two sisters were not that extraordinary, just like what many TV dramas depicted, the hero who slays the dragon finally becos the dragon herself.
"You should have said sothing to her. Every ti she brings you up, she actually feels quite sad. After all, you are her only sister," Xu Musen said slowly.
"If I told her then, she would never grow up. A bad sister is easier to deal with than all the bad people in the whole family and the whole world, right?"
Zhu Xianglan shook her head and smiled, her almond eyes glistening with a hint of moisture.
Looking at her sister at this mont, although she lacked the deanor of a head lady, Zhu Yulan was now more prone to laughter, joking with the staff at the milk tea shop, and showing joy for their earnest work.
She was carefree as if she were a little monkey just beginning to learn under the tutelage of Bodhi Patriarch.
Perhaps, this period in her life would beco the happiest ti of her entire life.
Xu Musen pursed his lips in silence, the statent... sohow familiar to him.
In a previous life, a certain frail girl had held him tightly in her arms.
"If you marry , then only I can bully you; the whole world cannot bully you!"
Xu Musen opened his mouth, his heart surging with a plethora of complex emotions.
"Now, that Huang guy should no longer be able to force her into doing anything. I think you should go see her, she must miss you a lot," Xu Musen finally spoke up, mories of the previous life, him lying in a pool of blood, Yao Mingyue apologizing and crying, but unfortunately, it was all too late, flooding his mind.
"Don't wait until it's too late, then it will be difficult to talk."
Zhu Xianglan looked at her sister's figure, her eyes flickered slightly, but she ultimately shook her head.
"It's not yet ti, I still have unfinished business... In fact, we've always been tough not on the Huang or Li families, but on our own Zhu Family."
As Zhu Xianglan spoke, she slowly withdrew the tenderness from her eyes, reverting to her usual smile that hid daggers.
After today's events, the Zhu family actually no longer intended to push Zhu Yulan and Huang Tianming together.
Because now it's clear to any observant person, Huang Tianming's series of actions, and that damn tricky maneuver.
Basically, he could say goodbye to any chances of inheriting the lead position of the Huang Family.
It had always been a marriage of convenience.
Now that Huang Tianming had lost any value of use, naturally, they would not consider him.
"This Zhu Family, they treat us as goods for trade interests; as long as this ntality isn't eliminated, maybe one day my sister will have to suffer again."
"Such deep-seated views in a large family are difficult to change," Xu Musen acknowledged the stubbornness of such beliefs.
"If it's difficult to change, then overturn it!"
Zhu Xianglan's tone was gentle yet imperious, and she smiled: "I followed the family's arrangent, pretended to be on bad terms with my sister for the sake of family interests, even bullied my own sister with others for the sake of the family... Everything I did was to slowly take control of these matters so that when my leverage was enough to contend with the entire Zhu Family, I could then pass them onto her. Only then would my silly little sister truly have freedom.
She could then pursue her own business without worrying, choose soone she likes on her terms, and live her life freely and without restraints.
No longer needing to heed the family's wishes, no longer having to be bullied by her 'bad sister'."
While Zhu Xianglan spoke, her gaze carried a shining luster,
Xu Musen was stunned for a mont; he rembered Zhu Yulan telling him how her company had also been taken away by her sister seizing an opportunity.
Now it seed, all this was Zhu Xianglan preparing in the background to help her sister accumulate strength.
After all, Zhu Yulan was still too green; zeal alone was not enough.
Yet in all this, the only person making sacrifices...
Xu Musen silently watched as Zhu Xianglan's eyes exhibited an adoring look while gazing in Zhu Yulan's direction.
"Your sister is doing fine, but what about you?"
Zhu Xianglan's body shuddered, and after a long ti, she shook her head with a smile.
"People will always willingly make so sacrifices. Who made her sister? If she calls 'sister,' I must protect her for a lifeti."
A single 'sister,' a lifeti of protection.
In Xu Musen's mind, the image of the little pest pulling at his clothes and calling 'Brother Musen' appeared.
How strikingly similar they were.
Xu Musen felt sowhat dazed at that mont.
"I always feel like you and we could get along quite well, maybe that's why my sister likes to stick to you so much," Zhu Xianglan said with a smile as she looked at the young man in front of her: "Have you really not considered my sister? If you married her, half of the Zhu Family would be yours."
Xu Musen looked at her, but only smiled slightly: "Didn't you just say you wanted her to freely choose the person she likes? Arranging a marriage like this isn't right."
Zhu Xianglan chuckled: "I almost forgot, it's not like you lack for young heiresses."
