Chapter 5: Good Sister-in-Law, Will You Promise Me?

Lin Yu stood up.

Fu Jiahui grasped Lin Yu’s arm.

“Who’s looking for you?”

“Is it Shen Changhui?”

“A Yu, he’s not a good man. You have to trust me.”

At this moment, Fu Jiahui was truly, truly humble—just like in the story, a cowardly dog begging for love.

A smirk of reckless pride curled at the corner of Lin Yu’s lips.

Just as she was about to say something—

Fu Jiajin spoke first.

“Jiahui, let go of her arm. A Yu is grown now; she has her own mind.”

With that, Fu Jiahui reluctantly released Lin Yu, still staring at her with deep reluctance.

Before Lin Yu left, the system before her eyes was still displaying the unwilling expressions on Fu Jiajin and Fu Jiahui’s faces behind her.

So, she walked away even more arrogantly, believing herself mighty and domineering.

When Lin Yu disappeared around the Fu family’s building,

Fu Jiajin wiped away the pitiful look of favoritism toward the heroine that he could not have.

He turned around.

Fu Jiahui had one hand in his pocket, the other holding a cigarette between his lips.

His entire demeanor was completely different from before.

Fu Jiajin reined in his gaze, then sat down in a chair, looking over the documents before him, and casually handed one to Fu Jiahui across from him.

“Last night, there was a series of rear-end collisions near the city hospital. Fu Suiyu, one of the accident victims, was taken to Jingbei First Hospital. As soon as she woke up, she ran straight toward the villa…”

Fu Jiajin even pulled up the relevant surveillance footage, turning the tablet so Fu Jiahui could see it.

Suddenly, he stood up and stood before the massive floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the entire Jingbei city.

“I looked into it but found no useful information. The earliest place she appeared was near the cemetery, then she took a taxi, and finally ended up at the hospital. There’s surveillance along the entire route, but before the hospital, her expression was blank and dazed. It wasn’t until she reached the hospital that her eyes suddenly cleared.”

“For the sake of our family, I’ve already prepared another sample. I’ll have Jiang Zhen run the test again. Once the results come in, I’ll give you a copy.”

Suddenly, he turned.

Fu Jiahui was holding a pen, writing something on paper.

Looking into Fu Jiahui’s eyes, Fu Jiajin stepped closer.

Then he nodded.

“I understand. I’ll keep it where we hide the secret love notes.”

Fu Jiahui, who had been writing, stopped at those words.

He called out helplessly,

“Brother.”

A faint smile played at Fu Jiajin’s lips.

For revenge, Fu Jiahui propped his chin on his hand, staring at Fu Jiajin.

“I heard that Sister Jiujiu is begging Lord Jiang to cancel your engagement.”

At these words, Fu Jiajin’s eyes darkened sharply, then he looked at Fu Jiahui.

“Don’t worry, before she gets what she wants, I’ll get married as soon as possible.”

Fu Jiahui raised an eyebrow, thinking of something.

“Oh, by the way, it’s May now, and the college entrance exam has been postponed this year. I plan to hire a private tutor for Fu Suiyu so she can take the exam this year.”

Although Fu Jiajin supported Fu Jiahui’s idea, he still politely asked,

“I think it’s a good idea, but are you sure you won’t be disowned when you tell her?”

“No.”

——

At home.

Fu Suiyu stared at her phone.

She seriously doubted something had gone wrong on Fu Jiahui’s side. Otherwise, even with her constant provocation, he wouldn’t have shown the slightest reaction.

She hesitated, wondering whether to “greet” Fu Jiahui again.

Jiang Jiujiu, wearing sky-high heels and a women’s suit, with her hair dyed an eye-catching green, and a blade of grass between her lips, plopped down right next to Fu Suiyu.

Fu Suiyu was stunned.

“Sister, you’re so domineering!”

Jiang Jiujiu smiled inwardly at the sparkle in Fu Suiyu’s eyes.

In the blink of an eye, she looked at Fu Suiyu.

Thinking about the DNA test report Jiang Zhen had given her and the video materials sent over.

“Little sister, do you remember anything before you woke up in the hospital last night?”

Fu Suiyu frowned.

Silently repeating Jiang Jiujiu’s question in her mind.

Then staring at Jiang Jiujiu.

“Sister, what are you talking about? I don’t understand.”

Jiang Jiujiu didn’t guard herself against the little girl in front of her. After all, she had once always been right behind her. Besides, she was the biological younger sister of that scoundrel Fu Jiajin.

Worried, she glanced at Fu Suiyu.

Then handed over her phone, thoughtfully unlocking it first.

She found the video and played it.

Fu Suiyu watched herself on the phone, every hair on her body standing on end.

“Sister Que?”

“What is this?”

Jiang Jiujiu held Fu Suiyu’s hand, noticing how cold the little girl’s hand was.

“This is from Jiang Zhen. It’s about my twin brother. I just didn’t want to hide it from you, so I wanted to ask you.”

Fu Suiyu gave a soft “oh” and then looked at Jiang Jiujiu.

“I don’t know. My memory is that when I woke up, I was already at the hospital. I ran home desperately, then I saw them escorting that Lin Yu back.”

Jiang Jiujiu studied Fu Suiyu with a loving expression.

“Then don’t think about it. If you can’t remember, don’t force yourself.”

Fu Suiyu lowered her head, fingers fiddling with her clothes.

Suddenly, she looked up at Fu Suiyu.

Her gaze no longer wavering.

“Sister Que, can you take me to the cemetery to see Mom and Dad?”

Jiang Jiujiu quickly moved away.

“Little sister, it’s not that I don’t want to take you, but if your brother finds out, we’re both done for.”

At first, Jiang Jiujiu had doubted Fu Suiyu’s identity.

But after Jiang Zhen’s hint, Jiang Jiujiu was convinced it was all a huge deception.

They were all merely pawns.

Everyone knew how important Fu Suiyu was to the Fu family.

Given the delicate situation, if she took Fu Suiyu to visit Uncle Fu and Aunt Chen’s graves,

she feared Fu Jiajin’s anger.

Mostly because sometimes she was afraid of Fu Jiajin too.

After all,

she had been the one controlled all her life.

But it seemed that everything had truly changed since that year.

First, Uncle Fu and Aunt Chen’s car brake lines were maliciously damaged, leading to their deaths.

Then, the four members of the Fu family seemed to be bewitched.

They even developed strange feelings for that adopted daughter.

She had cursed behind her back, but couldn’t understand why.

Yet when Fu Suiyu appeared before her again,

she felt something was about to break.

Fu Suiyu pouted, staring at Jiang Jiujiu.

“My dear sister, please say yes!”

“Sister Que?”

“Sister-in-law?”

“My brother’s most beloved sister-in-law, please say yes?”

Jiang Jiujiu really couldn’t bear to look at Fu Suiyu.

This little girl’s act of coaxing was truly irresistible.

She almost wanted to give her her life.

Of course, all these terms of address made the speaker feel warm inside.

Reluctantly, Jiang Jiujiu said, “You’re so well-behaved, I’ll agree.”
