"Yu Wantang, let go of the Third Brother!"

Yu Niannian screamed and lunged forward.

Without even turning her head, Yu Wantang flipped her wrist, and the electric mosquito swatter carved an arc, landing squarely on Yu Niannian's face.

"Slap!"

The electric grid grazed her cheek, emitting a faint buzzing sound.

Yu Niannian was struck so hard that she staggered, her waist bumping against the dining table, and she sucked in a cold breath of pain.

She covered her face, unable to believe that Yu Wantang would actually dare to hit her in front of the whole family.

Ever since she was little, she hadn't even heard a few harsh words.

Who in the family didn't hold her in the palm of their hands?

"By what right does Yu Wantang do this!"

But when she raised her head, the hatred in her eyes had been completely covered by tears, leaving only grievance.

"Sister, I know you hate me." Covering her cheeks, her voice trembled severely, "As long as you can vent your anger, it doesn't matter if you hit me. But the Third Brother is innocent..."

While crying, she secretly glanced at the reactions of the rest of the Yu Family.

Logically speaking, seeing Yu Wantang go crazy and hit someone, the Eldest Brother and Second Brother should have slammed the table long ago.

Yet the living room was eerie in its silence.

Yu Zhenhua held his teacup without moving, his gaze deep and heavy.

Yu Jingchen lowered his eyelids, his fingertips gently rubbing against his cufflinks, not knowing what he was thinking.

Yu Jingzhou pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, his lenses flashing with a cold light.

Seeing that no one spoke up for her, Yu Niannian felt increasingly uneasy.

Could it be that she had slipped up just now?

Impossible.

What she didn't know was that several of them were still immersed in the inner thoughts they had just heard.

"Mom..."

Seeing her adopted daughter's scalded red skin, Mother Yu's heart softened in the end.

"Go upstairs and tend to it first, make sure it doesn't blister."

Sure enough, Mother still loved her.

Yu Wantang was looking down at Yu Jingyan, who was pinned beneath her feet.

The man braced his hands against the carpet, half of his face marked with a clear grid pattern from the electric mosquito swatter, a thin layer of sweat seeping from his forehead in pain, yet the gaze he cast at her remained ferocious.

Yu Wantang curved the corners of her lips.

This sibling love was truly touching.

Since he loved protecting his sister so much, he could protect her a little longer.

She released her inner voice.

【How interesting.】

The familiar voice entered the ears of the five members of the Yu Family.

Yu Zhenhua's fingers pressing against the tabletop tightened.

Yu Jingchen raised his eyes slightly.

【What a pity, your good sister will use the pretext of celebrating the box office hit of his new movie tonight to spike the drinks. Then, using his name, she will lure fans into Yu Jingyan's room.】

【By the way, she'll call in the paparazzi lying in ambush to break through the door. She's already thought of the headline: Breaking! What on Earth is the Third Young Master of the Yu Corporation, a dignified Movie Emperor, up to? Is this the collapse of morality or the distortion of human nature...】

【At that time, Yu Niannian will claim that I was the one who drugged him. Tsk tsk, killing two birds with one stone. Not only can she smear me and get me chased out of the Yu Family, but she can also conveniently get a grip on the Third Brother's weakness.】

【Such a considerate and sensible little white lotus.】

Yu Zhenhua's expression turned gloomy, his sharp gaze falling upon Yu Niannian.

If this matter was true, the one losing face wouldn't just be Yu Jingyan.

Once the scandal was exposed, the Yu Family's reputation would be trampled into the mud. The stock price of the Yu Group would also be affected, and the youngest son's acting career would be completely ruined.

Yu Jingchen considered things much more deeply and distantly.

The matters of the bracelet and the spilled soup had already come true twice.

If it were a coincidence, it was far too much of a coincidence.

He didn't care why Yu Wantang could know these things in advance; he only wanted to figure out how credible her inner words actually were.

The simplest method was to wait.

Yu Jingzhou pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, a hint of scrutiny appearing in his eyes.

He had watched Niannian grow up since she was a child.

But that bowl of soup just now...

He had seen with his own eyes that Niannian's wrist had turned inward slightly.

That motion was very light. Had he not known Yu Wantang's inner thoughts beforehand, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.

Mother Yu's face turned pale, her lips pursed into a thin line.

Impossible! Niannian couldn't even bear to crush an ant since she was little, how could she do such a thing that ruins someone's innocence?

Yu Jingchen and Yu Jingzhou looked at each other, unable to hide the shock in their eyes.

Yu Jingyan on the ground had just recovered his breath. He wiped the cold sweat off his face, gritting his teeth as he stared at Yu Wantang, his mind similarly in a tangled mess.

Niannian wanted to drug him?

Absurd! He and Niannian had grown up together since they were little; whenever Niannian had anything delicious, she always thought of him, how could she possibly harm him?

This was definitely that country girl Yu Wantang playing tricks!

Seeing Yu Jingyan stand up, Yu Niannian trotted over to his side.

"Third Brother, does your face hurt?"

She tiptoed, wanting to inspect the injury on Yu Jingyan's face.

Yu Jingyan instinctively recoiled backward.

Yu Niannian's hand froze in mid-air.

"Third Brother?"

"It's nothing." Yu Jingyan turned his face away, concealing that trace of unnaturalness.

The grievance in Yu Niannian's eyes grew even thicker as she turned to look at Yu Wantang.

"Third Brother just feels sorry for me. Sister, if you have any dissatisfaction, just take it out on me."

"Rest assured."

Yu Wantang turned off the electric mosquito swatter and smiled amiably at her.

"I already said, don't provoke me. I just had an acute stress reaction earlier, my true nature is actually very well-behaved."

Yu Jingyan clenched his back molars: "Do you think I'll believe that?"

"Believe it or not, suit yourself." Yu Wantang didn't care in the least.

"You..."

Just as Yu Jingyan was about to rush over, Yu Jingchen raised a hand to stop him.

"Enough."

He appeared to be reprimanding his younger brother, but his gaze fell upon Yu Wantang's face, trying to find clues from her expression.

Yu Wantang let him scrutinize her openly and calmly.

Her inner voice continued.

【Since he trusts Yu Niannian so much, why should I poke my nose into other people's business? Words cannot teach a person, but experiences can. Once is enough for reality to teach a lesson.】

【A good brother naturally has to use his lifelong future to prove his trust in his sister.】

【Drink up, one drink and you won't make a sound anymore.】

Yu Jingyan's chest felt blocked.

He finally understood.

Yu Wantang was convinced that something would go wrong tonight.

Fine.

Then he would stubbornly go, just to prove Niannian's innocence.

"Eldest Brother! She whipped me with an electric mosquito swatter! Are we just going to let it go like this?" Yu Jingyan pointed at the red mark on his face, incredulous.

Without looking at him, Yu Jingchen turned his head to instruct the butler: "Send the Third Young Master and the Miss back to their rooms, and call the family doctor."

"She dared to throw hands on her very first day back home, is she going to blow the roof off in the future?" Yu Jingyan was full of resentment.

Yu Wantang thought about it seriously.

"That wouldn't be impossible."

"Dad!" Yu Jingyan turned his head to look at Yu Zhenhua. "She hit me, she hit Niannian, and she even poured a pot of soup over Niannian's head! Are you all mute?"

"Shut up!"

Yu Zhenhua glared at him coldly, his gaze frighteningly stern.

"Aren't you attending the movie celebration banquet tonight? Look at the ghostly state you're in now! Get your ass upstairs and clean yourself up!"

Yu Jingyan was stunned by the roar and dared not act up any further. He glared fiercely at Yu Wantang before turning and heading upstairs.

Yu Niannian followed closely behind, hurrying up to pull on the sleeve of the person in front of her. She bit her lower lip, lowered her eyes, and acted out grievance to the absolute extreme.

"Third Brother, I'm fine. Don't be upset with Sister, she just came back and isn't used to it yet..."

She would definitely get revenge for this!

Yu Wantang, you just wait!
