Song Fengyan wasn't sure what to think or who to believe in anymore. Of course, after He Lianchen found a lead pointing to his elder sister, Song Xingji, Song Fengyan flew to Shanghai to confront her a week ago to meet her personally.

The two hadn't seen or talked to each other for years, so even Song Xingji was surprised to see her brother paying her a visit at her office in their family's headquarters. Song Xingji wasn't sure what brought her brother to her doorstep, but she could see the uneasiness in his eyes.

"Why did you do it?" Song Fengyan confronted her, watching her with eagle eyes as he sat across her while she was busy with work.

"Do what?" Song Xingji raised a brow at him. She had no idea what he was talking about. She wasn't even sure why he was here, looking for her.

"Lan Xiyan." Song Fengyan said as if it could explain everything he wanted to convey. When his sister said nothing, he continued, "why did you bribe her to leave me?"

That instantly caught Song Xingji's attention as she placed her pen down and clasped her hands together on top of her desk, while looking at him intently.

"So you know…" How did he find out anyway? She didn't think that Lan Xiyan would come clean to her brother after all the things she had done to hurt him.

"I was trying to protect you, Fengyan. She accepted the money. Don't you think that says a lot about her as a person?" She countered him.

"But you knew about her situation." Song Fengyan gritted his teeth in frustration. "You knew how badly she needed money for her father's surgery."

Song Xingji leaned her back on her seat and crossed her legs. She was already thirty-seven now, but her face looked so young, she could pass as a woman in her late twenties. She had light brown hair that reached her chest and a body that's smaller compared to her colleagues.

Song Xingji didn't have a voluptuous body, instead she had a slim body that women would be envious of because no matter how much she ate, it seemed that it always ended up in a black hole because she could never gain weight even if she wanted to.

Her younger brother, Song Fengyan should be the one managing this company, but since he decided to work under their cousin, Feng Tianyi, Song Xingji had no other choice but to take over the management to let her brother enjoy whatever life he wanted for himself.

She had no problems on how he planned to lead his life. Song Xingji wanted her brother to live his life to the fullest, that was until she heard about his reationship with Lan Xiyan.

Obviously, as Song Fengyan's sister, she was curious to know what kind of person managed to enamor her brother, but she was utterly disappointed once she found out about Lan Xiyan's profession and how she met her brother.

With her background and the not so good family she came from, Lan Xiyan was definitely not an ideal woman for her younger brother. What kind of father was Lan Xiyan's for him to sell her out as a payment because he couldn't pay his own debt?

Song Xingji didn't want her brother to get entangled with Lan Xiyan's problems. It was one thing that Lan Xiyan had an abusive father, who would surely only cause trouble to Song Fengyan. Lan Xiyan might be flourishing as an actress now, but her past was like a ticking bomb that could ruin her in the future.

What kind of sister was she if she didn't care and just allowed her brother to ruin his life because of a woman? Song Xingji would rather play the villain role if that meant she would be able to save her brother from the humiliation he would suffer because of Lan Xiyan.

Song Jingxi frowned and crossed her arms.

"Of course, I knew. Why do you think I made such an offer to her? No matter how bad her father was, Lan Xiyan would eventually betray you to save her wretched father." She tried to explain, not knowing about the suffering Song Fengyan endured over the years.

"Then did you force her to have an abortion?" Song Fengyan spat each word with difficulty. His eyes rimmed red as he remembered the years he spent grieving over the death of his child, not knowing Lan Yunru was alive.

"What?" Song Xingji frowned. "What abortion? Don't be ridiculous, Fengyan. Even if we don't see each other eye to eye, do you really think I'm capable of doing such a horrendous thing to a family member?"

"You don't?" Song Fengyan looked at his sister with confusion. What Song Xingji said was right. Just like any other siblings, they argued frequently, but they would never physically harm each other.

"No." His sister was even more confused now. "You mean she was pregnant?"

This… Song Xingji wasn't aware of it. When she called Lan Xiyan to meet and offered three million dollars in exchange for leaving her brother, she was just testing Lan Xiyan's resolve. She wanted to know how far Lan Xiyan was willing to go just to be with her brother.

Song Xingji knew that what she did was wrong, but as Fengyan's only sibling, how can she be sure that Lan Xiyan, along with her family, wasn't taking advantage of her brother's status and wealth?

If Lan Xiyan had thrown the check of three million dollars to her face and refused to be threatened by her, she was willing to give her brother and Lan Xiyan a chance.

Alas, imagine her disappointment when Lan Xiyan accepted the check for a down payment from her. Song Xingji was so disgusted by Lan Xiyan that she left the cafe, where they had met, immediately after.

In Lan Xiyan's eyes, was her brother's worth only three million dollars?
