Ying Mingkang had missed their gestures entirely. He asked anxiously:
"That's good, then. What exactly happened while I was away?
Why is everyone out there saying you're...
Huihui, don't be afraid. No matter what happened, I'll protect you.
Don't worry. Your brother is here for you!"
Hearing this, Song Yaoyao felt that Ying Mingkang was a genuinely decent person.
In ancient times, many blood relatives would sever family ties outright for fear of being implicated, but Ying Mingkang had done no such thing. He had even promised to protect his sister!
Song Yaoyao gave Ying Mingkang's character a thumbs-up in her heart.
At Ying Mingkang's words, Ying Huiyan's eyes instantly reddened:
"Brother, if I really were what they say I am, would you despise me?"
Ying Mingkang hurriedly said:
"Huihui, don't cry.
What are you saying? How could I ever despise you? You're my only sister.
I told you, no matter what happens, I'll protect you. I'm here for you, so don't be afraid!"
Ying Huiyan nodded:
"All right. I'll remember that.
But things aren't what you think, Brother. Those stories out there are all rumors. Someone framed me..."
Then Ying Huiyan repeated the account Song Yaoyao had taught her.
Ying Huiyan still chose to keep the truth from her brother. He was such a good brother that she couldn't bear to make him worry too.
Fortunately, thanks to Miss Song's treatment, it was all behind her now!
After hearing her out, Ying Mingkang clenched his fists in anger:
"So that's what happened.
I knew long ago that our stepmother was no good. She actually dared to hurt you while I was away. She wants to get rid of both of us and clear the obstacles out of her own children's path!
What a vicious scheme!
Truly, no heart is
