“Give it to me!” She hit Jiang Chengxi arrogantly. “Give it to me! What are you keeping such a beautiful gem for? Are you planning to give it to a woman? I’m your sister. What good thing do you not want to give me, and give to a wild woman outside instead?”
In the past, if she wanted anything, as long as she worked and acted coquettishly, Jiang Chengxi would eventually do as she wished and never had the intention to go against her.
But tonight…
Tonight was destined to be a night that Jiang Yilin would never forget.
Just as she was pestering him again, Jiang Chengxi’s expression suddenly changed in a second. He turned around and slapped her a second time that night.
Jiang Yilin knew very well that her brother had already sobered up.
She even had a feeling that he wasn’t really drunk when he slapped her the first time tonight.
This second slap made her fall to the ground.
“You hit me again?” Jiang Yilin’s voice was sharp.
“Shut up!” Jiang Chengxi leaned over and grabbed her by the collar. “Do you want to wake everyone up in the middle of the night?”
“You were the one who…” Jiang Yilin’s cries were louder than before.
But Jiang Chengxi’s low voice made her stop. “If you don’t want more people to know about your actions back then, shut up!”
Jiang Yilin widened her eyes and remained silent.
Jiang Chengxi gritted his teeth. “You keep saying that you were the one who saved Rong Linyi back then and that he recovered because of your concern. Forget about lying to others, do you even have to lie to a witness like me?”
“If you want to make a fuss, go ahead. If you still want to claim to be his savior and use this to win Rong Linyi back, you have to restrain yourself!”
Jiang Yilin trembled all over. “No… as long as you don’t say it, I won’t say it either. No one knows the truth about what happened back then. That girl’s information can’t be found anymore, right? Haven’t you been looking for her all these years without any results?”
“Just because you can’t find her doesn’t mean that she doesn’t exist anymore.” Jiang Chengxi still lowered his voice. “Yilin, you’ve been doing well all these years, including these three years. You’ve endured humiliation. Don’t you love Rong Linyi a lot and want to be with him? Don’t let all your efforts go to waste because of your stubbornness.”
“I, I love him a lot.” Jiang Yilin sat on the ground again. “I really love him. I’ve loved him for so many years. He clearly promised to be with me… Why did his heart change now…”
“Yilin, if you want to be with Rong Linyi again, you have to listen to me. Brother has my reasons for everything. Promise me that you won’t be stubborn, okay?” Jiang Chengxi’s expression was gentle again.
Jiang Yilin nodded in a daze. “Brother, I’ll listen to everything you say. As long as I can be with Linyi again, I’ll do whatever you ask me to do.”
After receiving Jiang Yilin’s promise, Jiang Chengxi finally smiled and nodded. He touched his sister’s head. “You’re tired tonight. Go and rest well.”
After coaxing Jiang Yilin away, he slowly took out the sapphire.
Under the moonlight, the blue crystal reflected an alluring and muted brilliance…
“God still cares about me.” Jiang Chengxi muttered softly. “All the good cards are in my hands. I won’t play them wrongly, right…”
“Give it to me!” She hit Jiang Chengxi arrogantly. “Give it to me! What are you keeping such a beautiful gem for? Are you planning to give it to a woman? I’m your sister. What good thing do you not want to give me, and give to a wild woman outside instead?”
