Three Women in the Cage

After a while, everyone arrived at the restaurant with slightly luxurious decoration and was led into a private room by the waiter.

Everyone sat down around the large round table. Yang Su sat with her parents on one side and Ma Mei on the other. Yang Yu quietly sat at the end of the table. Yang Ming wanted to sit next to his eldest sister, but Ma Mei pulled him over!

After Ma Mei pulled Yang Ming over, she turned to Yang Yu and said in a pretentious tone, "Sister, come sit closer so we can talk!"

Yang Yu will not try to please others, but if others deliberately distance themselves from her, she will naturally keep her distance and not disturb them easily. With the attitude of not wanting to cause trouble, she will quietly stay in her own world.

It was the same at this moment. She didn't want to compete with Yang Su for her parents' favor, nor did she want to compete with her for Ma Mei's closeness. She didn't want to disturb their happy mood!

Maybe he knows in his heart that he will never win!

When Ma Mei pretended to ask her to sit over, she hesitated because she was afraid that after she went over, she would not be able to join in their conversation, would feel left out, would feel out of place, and would end up being placed in that awkward position, which made her younger sister even more proud!

After hesitating for a moment, she smiled wryly and said, "I'll sit here. I don't like crowds; it would be too stuffy! This place is great!"

Ma Mei wanted to persuade her again, but Yang Su pulled her aside to talk about catering matters, so she had no energy to take care of Yang Yu's emotions and was focused on discussing with her!

Yang Yu looked at them talking together naturally, feeling bitter and helpless. Yes, they were the ones most qualified to sit together!

Yang's parents wanted to say something, but looking at their son and daughter-in-law, they said nothing in the end. What right did they have to speak? They were so cautious themselves that they had no say at all.

What's more, Yang Yu looked indifferent, and they were afraid of being rejected in person, which would lose face!

Shaking his head, he sighed in his heart that his eldest daughter was not as well-versed in the ways of the world as his younger daughter. Her personality was destined to be unpleasant and disliked!

Yang Ming looked at his elder sister and lowered his head silently. He knew that if he continued to persuade her at this time, it would only make his elder sister more embarrassed, because once his elder sister made up her mind, she would not change it easily. Why should he waste his breath and make things difficult for both of them?

Soon, dishes were served one after another. Everyone ate happily and chatted at the same time. Only Yang Yu was responsible for eating the whole time without saying a word.

Occasionally, in order to take care of her, Ma Mei would deliberately throw a few questions at her. Yang Yu would give a few perfunctory answers and then stop chatting. Or, she didn't know how to continue the conversation, and then the topic would come to an abrupt end!

A dinner party was held in such a weird atmosphere, which seemed harmonious yet distant. It lasted subtly for more than an hour and finally ended!

After Ma Mei sent the two sisters to the Internet cafe, she drove back!

The two of them came to the dining and bedroom separated from the Internet cafe, and washed up in silence without saying a word!

After washing up, the two lay on the same bed, sleeping back to back!

This was the first time they slept in the same bed after they got married, but they could never go back to the way they were before!

Thinking about the time when they shared a bedroom, slept in the same bed, and talked about everything, Yang Su always acted respectfully and flatteringly towards Yang Yu, acting coquettishly and naughtily!

At this time, Yang Yu would touch her head lovingly, scratch her nose, scold her with a smile, and then the two of them would hug each other and whisper for a long time!

Although they were poor at that time, the relationship between the two was very close. As the eldest sister, Yang Yu truly loved the younger sister, and as the younger sister, Yang Su respected and relied on her eldest sister. Their feelings were simple and sincere!

I don’t know when it started, but the two of them drifted further and further apart. As the distance grew, so did their hearts!

Yang Su no longer had the respect and reliance he once had for her, and she could no longer truly love Yang Su! Even as time passed, their relationship became increasingly tense, eventually turning into mutual resentment and accusations.

Yang Yu sometimes wondered if she had been wrong in the past and why she had sacrificed so much. She couldn't figure out whether it was to help her parents or out of blood-related sisterhood.

Should she blame her parents, or criticize her younger sister? But what could she blame her parents for? Blame them for throwing the burden of life onto her? Hadn't she done that willingly?

Should I criticize my younger sister? What should I criticize? Criticize her for living under her own protection? But she never asked anything of me! Isn't it all given willingly by herself?

She began to wonder who to blame for all this? Who was at fault...

But, did she really regret it? Why was she the one who always suffered the injustice? Why did she have to be the one to pay? Who would be willing to give everything if they knew there would be no results in the end?

Perhaps people are heartless! No one will sympathize with or miss anyone...

Just like at this moment, the person with his back to her is chilling her heart like ice, and she can't help but think about the past. In this torment of regret and powerlessness, she wants to hate and resent, but she can't control it!

Can I take back my past regrets? Can I make the person I betrayed pay me back? Can I beat her up and vent my resentment?

No, nothing, nothing at all, I can only struggle in this hopeless situation!

At some point, Yang Yu heard a soft breathing beside his ear, and then he realized that while he was struggling, the person with his back to him had already fallen asleep without any distractions!

Right! She has always lived in a blessed state, naturally accepting all gifts, taking everything for granted!

She could not understand Yang Yu's struggle and unwillingness, nor did she have any resentment or dissatisfaction, so she could sleep soundly with her back to her elder sister!

Yang Yu listened to the breathing that was so long and so far away, and could not fall asleep for a long time! With mixed emotions, he opened his eyes and stared at the dark night outside the window! He wandered and struggled to grasp something but could not grasp it!

Finally, in such torment, the sky gradually cleared up, a beam of warm sunlight shone in, and everything in the bedroom seemed quiet and peaceful!

Suddenly, a sharp noise woke her up. She had to open her sleepy eyes and look towards the source of the noise. She saw Yang Su had gotten up at some point and was tidying up the dining utensils in his hands. It seemed as if he was protesting Yang Yu's laziness.

Yang Yu understood instantly that he was here to work, so why did he get up later than his boss?

I'm afraid he's making a fuss on purpose. I need to figure out the situation myself!

She paused, got up from the bed, quickly washed up, and prepared to clean!

The two hadn't spoken in the morning, but it was Yang Yu who spoke first! Because they were no longer sisters, but employees, she was supposed to do her job well. So, she put aside all distractions and asked in a businesslike manner, "What areas should I clean today? Are there any specific requirements?"

Seeing that she was finally willing to talk to him, Yang Su felt a little proud and thought, "You still bowed your head to me first. Now I am your boss. No matter how much you refuse, you have to lower your posture and listen to my command!"

This feeling made her feel extremely comfortable. She had always obeyed her elder sister's arrangements and commands. She had been suppressed as a matter of course, but now she had finally turned the tables and was no longer suppressed. She suddenly felt refreshed!
