This person was probably Fu Xiangchenâs younger sister and Fu Xuyinâs older sister.
The girl walked down the stairs, step by step, and stood before Bai Yu. Then, she abruptly raised her hand and swung it at Bai Yuâs face.
Out of reflex, Bai Yu raised her hand to block it, and five distinct scratch marks appeared on the back of her hand. âWhat are you doing?â
âWhat was wrong with this person? Why was she slapping her on their first meeting?
Fu Qinglin said coldly, âI want you to stay away from my big brother.â
Bai Yu said angrily, âBut thatâs not a valid reason to hit someone!â
Fu Qinglin looked at her with disdain. âSo what if I hit you? You didnât marry Big Brother because you love him. You just want his money.â
Bai Yu couldnât refute this, but she could at least guarantee one thing. âI mean him no harm.â
Fu Qinglin smiled coldly. âBig Brotherâs last woman said the same thing, but she betrayed him all the same.â
As Bai Yu listened to the girl run her mouth, her expression darkened. âI donât know who your big brotherâs last woman was, but sheâs her own woman, and I am me. Since Iâm getting paid, Iâll put in the work. If you donât believe me, go and ask your big brother how many troubles Iâve shielded him from
over this period of time.â
Fu Qinglin shook her head and mocked, âItâs useless. Youâll eventually betray Big Brother. Especially a woman like you who is greedy for money. You canât resist the slightest bit of his temptations.â
Bai Yu caught a certain keyword and couldnât help but ask, âWho do you mean?â
Just then, a voice called from upstairs, âQinglin?â
Upon hearing this, Fu Qinglin looked up and her voice trembled slightly. âSecond Brotherâ¦â
Fu Xiangchen tidied up his sleeves and came downstairs, asking gently, âQinglin, when did you come back? Why didnât you tell me in advance? I couldâve sent someone to pick you up.â
Fu Qinglin looked down. âI came back at midnight yesterday so I didnât want to bother you guys because it was too late.â
Fu Xiangchen looked at her and sighed. âYouâve been living at school for the past two years, so now youâve become estranged from me.â
Fu Qinglin smiled uncomfortably. âI havenât. By the way, I havenât organized the textbooks I brought back from school yet, so Iâll be going back to my room.â
Fu Xiangchen nodded. âGo ahead. Youâre almost in the third year of high school, so you must work harder.â
As Fu Qinglin brushed past Bai Yu, she shot her a warning glare.
Bai Yu held her forehead, feeling exhausted. As if Fu Xuyin wasnât enough, she had to deal with one more Fu Qinglin now. Life would be tiring from now on. Bai Yuâs unintentional gesture allowed Fu Xiangchen to notice the scratches on the back of her hand.
Fu Xiangchen grabbed her wrist, seemingly anxious. âSister-in-law, youâre hurt.â
Fu Qinglin hadnât gone far. When she heard this, she quickened her pace towards the third floor.
Bai Yu gently pulled her hand away. âI accidentally scratched myself. Itâs fine.â
She could tell how much Fu Xiangchen doted on Fu Qinglin from his tone, so Bai Yu didnât want any trouble. Moreover, Fu Qinglinâs attitude towards Fu Yunzhe left a lot of room for thought. They were clearly half-siblings, but Fu Qinglin was so concerned about this brother of hers that she would even
hurt others for his sake. Also, Fu Qinglin seemed to know a lot of secrets, and before Fu Xiangchen appeared, she clearly had something to tell her.
Fu Xiangchen said, âI have medicine in my room. Do you want to come with me to get it?â
Bai Yu declined politely, âItâs alright. I still have the first aid kit you had Butler Zhuang brought over last time. Iâll treat this myself when I get back to my room.â
Fu Xiangchen said in confusion, âToday, Qinglin ran back into her room as soon as she saw me, and now youâre rejecting me as well. Have I become ugly after Big Brother beat me up?â
Bai Yu chuckled in amusement when Fu Xiangchen commiserated himself that way. âNo, youâre still very handsome.â
Fu Xiangchen blinked. âReally?â
If Fu Yunzhe was a sharp knife, then Fu Xiangchen would be a piece of heart-warming jade. Both men were of different extremes and had different charms. But sadly, Bai Yu was his sister-in-law, even if it was only superficial.
To evade suspicion, Bai Yu said, âItâs getting late. I should go and make lunch for your brother.â
Seeing how Bai Yu keeps mentioning Fu Yunzhe, Fu Xiangchen got more and more excited. After all, the harder it was to pick a fruit, the sweeter it would taste.
Fu Xiangchen replied, âThen, donât forget to treat the wound on your hand.â
When Bai Yu carried lunch to Fu Yunzhe, the latter immediately noticed the scratch marks on the back of her hand..
