"I did put in some effort, but Yu Lihuai owes me a favor, so I'm not at a loss." Jiang Xun nodded, readily admitting it.

Yu Chen was startled. Yu Lihuai Yu Lihuai Jiang Xun a favor? How absurd! Would this cunning businessman really be willing to owe someone a favor for her sake?

"Yu Chen, actually..."

Before Jiang Xun could finish speaking, Song Shiwei monologue echoed again, "[Damn, pseudo-incest is actually kind of interesting, hahaha.]"

[Yu Lihuai secretly harbors feelings for Yu Chen, and has been silently protecting her all these years. When Yu Chen was ruined by Hua Tianyu, Yu Lihuai was the first to take her home. Then, halfway through the project, he disregarded everyone's objections and cut off cooperation with the Hua Family, causing heavy losses to the Yu Group. Later, the Yu Family was framed by the male lead, Gu Xiujin, and was on the verge of collapse. Yu Chen was also summoned by Hua Tianyu to threaten Yu Lihuai.]

[Yu Chen had already clearly realized what kind of person Hua Tianyu was by then, but it was too late. She was disgraced, her company was in dire straits, and she had already prepared to die. But then Yu Lihuai arrived.]

[Yu Lihuai, a man of such deep thoughts, lost all his cunning and scheming at that moment, replaced by utter panic on his face. Hua Tianyu seemed to sense his unease, and thus intensified his humiliation, forcing him to kneel, crawl through a hole, and even demanding that he hand over all the shares of the Yu Group. And he actually complied with everything!]

[Yu Lihuai sacrificed his pride to save Yu Chen, but he never expected that Hua Tianyu, that bastard, would break his promise. After acquiring the shares, Hua Tianyu shot Yu Chen dead. Yu Chen knew too much about him; he absolutely couldn't let Yu Chen. Yu Lihuai had already transferred all the shares to him, so he was no longer a threat. Therefore, he killed Yu Chen right in front of Yu Lihuai.]

[But what he never expected was that because he killed Yu Chen, Yu Lihuai went mad. Yu Lihuai practically rushed over, snatched the gun from his hand, and fired three shots at him. Hua Tianyu fell into a pool of blood. Yu Lihuai, almost like a madman, rushed over again, picked up Yu Chen's body, and then ended his own life with the last bullet.]

[Holy crap, what's wrong with you villains? You're all so love-struck! You guys are making me want to cry.]

[Yu Lihuai never told Yu Chen about the unspoken emotions he kept buried deep in his heart until his death, but he truly loved Yu Chen and did so much for Yu Chen! It's a pity that neither of them spoke of it.]

As Song Shiwei thought to herself, she also twitched her nose, suddenly feeling a slight soreness in it.

After listening to Song Shiwei words, Yu Chen was filled with mixed emotions. From those words, it was as if she had already lived her entire life.

She never imagined that she would end up having everything stolen by that scumbag, losing her reputation, and dying without a proper burial.

Yu Lihuai actually liked her. Yu Chen could occasionally feel this uncle's gaze, which did seem to be different towards her, but she thought it was the look of a strong person looking at a piece of trash, and even felt particularly resistant to such a gaze. She never expected it to be love?

[Who understands? Family! If either Yu Lihuai or Yu Chen had a mouth, they wouldn't have both died. They both had feelings for each other, but they were both so stubborn. In the end, look what happened—they both died!] Song Shiwei cursed loudly in her mind.

Upon hearing this, Yu Chen gave a bitter smile. She had indeed liked Yu Lihuai. But when did her feelings for Yu Lihuai begin?

It was around the time she was ten years old, during a trip back to her hometown to pay respects to her ancestors. She had just returned from abroad, so her grandfather asked her to come along.

She went with them, but when she arrived at the small mountain village, she was dumbfounded. Everything was muddy and dirty, and they were living in a dilapidated house without windows.

To make her more comfortable, Yu Lihuai stayed up all night and guarded outside her room for three whole nights.

It just so happened that it was her period. At that time, transportation was very difficult, and there was no such thing as brown sugar water in the village, not even normal sanitary napkins. Yu Chen was so embarrassed that she just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

In the afternoon, her stomach pain became so severe that she could barely stand up straight. She was writhing in pain on the bed. Later, she didn't know how much time had passed when Yu Lihuai returned, covered in sweat, carrying clean clothes, brown sugar, and sanitary napkins.

For a little girl who had just returned home, Yu Lihuai was her hero at this moment. She had always known that Yu Lihuai was not her grandfather's biological son, so there was nothing wrong with liking him. It was normal for a little girl to be experiencing her first love.

It was after Yu Yu's death that some rumors reached her ears, and she subconsciously suspected that Yu Yu was killed by Yu Lihuai, since Yu Lihuai was the biggest beneficiary in this matter.

She even forgot that a bully doesn't need any reason to start a bullying spree. Yu Yu's death was the bully's fault, but she unilaterally pinned all the blame on Yu Lihuai.

In nearly ten years, the two have only appeared together or chatted a handful of times, to the point that even meeting in person has become difficult.

Only now did Yu Chen realize who had been protecting her during the five years she had been struggling in the entertainment industry alone after falling out with her grandfather. It was Yu Lihuai who had been clearing away negative news about her, and even extended that love to Hua Tianyu by clearing away all the negative news about him.

She felt a mix of emotions; her misunderstanding of Yu Lihuai was far too deep.

She recalled the nonsensical remark Yu Lihuai had made yesterday, and it flooded her mind again in an instant.

It seemed that everything was traceable; those suppressed, unexpressed emotions were like a trapped beast in the darkness, Yu Lihuai's gaze towards her was so intense, as if he wanted to devour her...

Yu Chen:...

It's really not her fault. The blame lies with Yu Lihuai's terrifying gaze. Who knew that his gaze was one of love, not one of wanting to kill her and seize the Yu Family's fortune?
