Chapter 15

The woman in the bathrobe stepped forward. "Zhao Yuan, I'll tell you the truth. I did sleep with Chen Yuchuan last night. He still has feelings for me. If I hadn't gone abroad, you'd never have had a chance with him."

"Shut up!" Chen Yuchuan roared. "Even if you hadn't gone abroad, I'd never have gotten back together with you! Zhao Yuan is the one I love now!"

"Yuan, listen to me. What happened with her last night was an accident. We were both drunk..."

"Chen Yuchuan, let's break up." Zhao Yuan cut him off, her voice cold. She couldn't be bothered arguing with him anymore. At least she'd found out he was a scumbag before the engagement. She could cut her losses now.

"Yuanyuan..." Chen Yuchuan panicked. He had a feeling that if Zhao Yuan walked out that door, he would lose her for good.

But before Chen Yuchuan could catch up to Zhao Yuan, Xia Yi blocked his path. Tears streamed down her face. "Chen Yuchuan, you're still in love with me. Why won't you admit it? We loved each other so much back then. If your mother hadn't stood in our way, we wouldn't have been forced to break up, and I never would've gone abroad!"

"Can't we start over? I had nothing back then, so I understood why your mother didn't approve. But things are different now." Xia Yi grew more excited as she spoke. "I studied abroad, and I have a well-paying job. She'll be happy with me now. She'll accept us again..."

Oh, right! At Xia Yi's words, Shen Luoluo remembered that she'd seen the two had broken up because Chen Yuchuan's mother opposed their relationship. She'd been interrupted before she could read the rest.

I thought something was off. Why was his mother so desperate to keep them apart? Is there something else going on?

Let me see—

Whoa! There really is!

The others pricked up their ears. What was it?

No wonder his mother refused to let them be together. How could a brother and sister date? They're half-siblings—same mother, different fathers, and related by blood!

Zhao Huizhen and Shen Jiayan: !!!

Wonderful. The lovers turned out to be siblings. Now this is a story I want to see!

Zhao Yuan smiled. If that was the case, she wasn't angry anymore.

Huh. Their history is more complicated than I thought...

Chapter 15

◎He brought someone back from Thailand without looking into her first?◎

The moment Zhao Yuan heard that the two were siblings, her anger vanished. She listened eagerly for the rest of the gossip.

Chen Yuchuan stood frozen, his eyes hollow with despair, as if he couldn't believe what he'd heard.

But whether he believed it or not, Shen Luoluo's thoughts kept coming.

So that's what happened. Chen Yuchuan's mother used to be Xia Yi's father's mistress!

Both his wife and his mistress got pregnant around the same time. Xia Yi's father originally wanted Chen Yuchuan's mother to have an abortion, but his wife's prenatal checkup didn't go well, so he told Chen Yuchuan's mother to keep the baby.

Then his wife's baby died shortly after birth. Xia Yi's father immediately had Chen Yuchuan's mother deliver early by C-section, took the baby to his wife, and pretended his wife had given birth to her!

Standing beside Zhao Yuan, Zhao Huizhen exchanged a look with her. So that was it!

After taking the baby, Xia Yi's father gave Chen Yuchuan's Mother a large sum of money and forced her to leave. Heartbroken over losing her child, Chen Yuchuan's Mother took the money back to her hometown. There she met Chen Yuchuan's Father, and later Chen Yuchuan was born.

Everything was fine until Chen Yuchuan got into university, met Xia Yi, and brought her home. The moment Chen Yuchuan's Mother saw the birthmark behind Xia Yi's ear, she knew Xia Yi was her daughter—her own daughter!

But she didn't dare tell anyone. She couldn't let Chen Yuchuan's father know, much less the two siblings. All she could do was try her hardest to keep them apart!

They'd already broken up, but they just wouldn't leave it alone. Now they're back together and have even slept...

Ahem. So that spark they felt was just their shared blood at work!

Shen Luoluo looked at the siblings and shook her head. The three people listening beside her shook their heads too.

Their looks baffled Xia Yi. What did those expressions mean? Why were they shaking their heads? But she had no time to ask. She turned to Chen Yuchuan. "Are you listening to me? What's with that look on your face? Say something!"

By the time Zhao Yuan had heard the whole story, her anger had completely faded. She hadn't expected payback to come so quickly.

She walked over with a spring in her step, smiled, and offered her heartfelt blessing. "I wish you two happiness."

Thud. Chen Yuchuan collapsed onto the floor, his face contorted with anguish.

Shen Luoluo applauded Zhao Yuan in her mind. Auntie really knows how to hit where it hurts!

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

At the villa, Shen Anya sat alone at the dining table. She stared at the lavish spread, gripping her chopsticks tighter and tighter. Her expression darkened.

"Miss Anya, is something wrong? Is the food not to your liking?" Aunt Chen asked cautiously as she brought out the last dish and noticed something was amiss.

Shen Anya threw down her chopsticks. "You did this on purpose, didn't you?"

Shen Ting'an and Shen Jingyao were still at the office. Zhao Huizhen had taken Shen Jiayan and Shen Luoluo somewhere, and her second brother, Shen Xiche, hadn't come home. The whole house was empty except for her!

Why make so much food when she was the only one there? Aunt Chen was mocking her. She was rubbing it in that Shen Anya had a whole family, yet not one of them was there to eat with her. She was the one who didn't belong!

Shen Anya's eyes reddened with fury. When had anyone ever treated her like this?

Before, her parents would never have left her home alone. Wherever Zhao Huizhen went, whatever she did, she always took Shen Anya along. It was all Shen Luoluo's fault. Ever since that bitch came back, everything had changed!

Startled, Aunt Chen apologized at once. "I'm sorry, Miss Anya. Is there a dish you don't like? I'll replace it right away!"
