Being kind to the enemy is cruel to yourself.

When he got home, Lin Ziqiu took off his hat and scarf, and walked into the main room to see Lin Xiaojun standing in front of the table in a daze.

He was originally sweating profusely, but now he was almost done.

"Miss..."

When he saw Lin Ziqiu coming back, his eyes lit up and he walked over to hold Lin Ziqiu's hand, but she dodged him.

"What are you doing here?" Lin Ziqiu's tone was very calm, and no emotion could be seen.

Lin Xiaojun rarely saw her like this. When she was at home, Lin Ziqiu mostly tried to please him and was very nice to him as her younger brother.

Give in to him everywhere.

Even though he had done many bad things to her, she still treated him as her own brother.

That's why Lin Xiaojun believed Lin Ziqiu without hesitation when she and Lin Mengyao talked in the house that day.

Lin Xiaojun has not been able to forgive Lin Mengyao to this day.

Even though she is his biological sister, he has two different attitudes towards Lin Mengyao and Lin Ziqiu, and he would try to please Lin Mengyao from time to time.

Unexpectedly, in Lin Mengyao's heart, she viewed him and her mother in that way.

Lin Xiaojun swallowed nervously, as if trying to organize his words. After a while, he said, "Sister, I'm here to apologize to you."

"Before...before, when I was at home, I was ignorant and did many things that hurt you. Now I'm grown up and sensible. I know I was wrong. I sincerely apologize to you. I hope...I hope you can forgive me, big sister..."

His attitude of admitting his mistake was quite sincere.

But Lin Ziqiu knew very well that this was not his true inner thought.

Lin Xiaojun has long been spoiled by his parents and has become lawless. He thinks he is right in everything. The reason he appears here today to apologize to me is definitely because doing so will bring greater benefits that are worth his doing.

"You apologize to me, but your apology is useless to me."

Lin Ziqiu glanced at him and said, "Go back."

Lin Xiaojun grabbed the corner of her clothes anxiously, "Sister, I'm sorry, I really know I was wrong, can you forgive me? You are the only sister I have... Don't you really want me anymore?"

Lin Ziqiu shook off his hand and asked in amusement, "Where did you put Lin Mengyao? She's not dead yet! Besides, you and she were born from the same mother, and I'm already married. What do you want or not? Go back to your parents. I'm not in the habit of helping them raise a son!"

Seeing that Lin Xiaojun was so anxious, afraid that she would drive him away, Lin Ziqiu noticed something.

Lin Xiaojun was thrown away and grabbed it again, crying and shouting, "She is not my sister! Only you are my sister! Sister, don't be like this, we are family!"

Seeing him crying so pitifully, Lin Ziqiu felt nothing in her heart. "Lin Xiaojun, I really despise you for being like this."

Her tone was cold, "Don't you have any sense of shame?"

Lin Xiaojun has a strong sense of self-esteem, so Lin Ziqiu deliberately provoked him like this.

It can also be regarded as revenge for his cruel behavior in the previous life.

A trace of hatred flashed across Lin Xiaojun's eyes. He felt that Lin Ziqiu was too heartless, but he couldn't just leave like that. There was no food at home, and he and his mother couldn't really starve to death.

"Sister, it's okay if you really don't want to see me, but can you please give me some rice for the sake of our brother-sister relationship?"

Lin Ziqiu frowned, "You came here for this."

Lin Xiaojun was young after all, and he couldn't hide his thoughts, so he wasn't very tactful in his words. "I'm really here to apologize. We're out of food at home, and we can't buy any at the supply and marketing cooperative. Can you really bear to watch us starve to death?"

At such a young age, he is also being morally blackmailed.

He is truly Zhang Xiumei’s good son.

Lin Ziqiu curled the corners of her lips slightly, not buying his tricks at all.

"I'm quite patient."

In her previous life, she had morals and conscience. What was the consequence of being soft-hearted?

This life is moral kidnapping, right?

Sorry, she has no morals.

Lin Ziqiu rubbed his brows helplessly, knowing that Ruan Qing would not come to his house suddenly if there was nothing wrong. "Guests are welcome, Brother He Yang, let her stay and eat with us."

When his wife spoke, Zhong Heyang was very considerate and did not reject her.

"Yeah." He responded in a muffled voice, but did not even glance at Ruan Qing. Apart from rejecting her just now, he treated her like air.

When Ruan Qing pursued him in the past, she was even more clingy than a dog-skin plaster.

Now that he is married, in order to avoid suspicion, he doesn't want to stay in the same place with Ruan Qing at all.

Zhong Xuexi had a big fight with Ruan Qing, and now there are still some resentments between them, and they are no longer as close as before.

On the other hand, Lin Ziqiu and her partner, who were the least likely to become friends, are now as close as best friends.

Zhong Xuexi was extremely puzzled.

It was cold and windy outside, so Lin Ziqiu called Ruan Qing into the house to warm himself by the fire.

Zhong Xuexi went back to her room to prepare lessons, and Zhong Heyang made an excuse to go to the kitchen to help Zhong Zhiyang.

His existence was already awkward, with his wife on one side and his suitor on the other. His wife wanted to invite people to dinner, so he could only avoid suspicion.

He is obviously the male owner, but now he acts like a third party. Why?

Zhong Heyang felt a little depressed.

On the other side, there was no one around. Ruan Qingcuo sat next to Lin Ziqiu and whispered, "All the supplies over there have been distributed. Zhong Zhiyang counted and found that almost everyone in the city has received some."

Their city is small and the population is not very large.

The next step is to give more money to those registered families who are relatively poor.

Lin Ziqiu thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait for a few days. There's been a lot of talk outside lately. I'm afraid if it gets out of hand again, I won't be able to control the situation."

Ruan Qing felt the same way. "I was just about to tell you about this. Manager Dong had the same idea. He advised us to hold off for now. Fortunately, you had the foresight to do so. If we had really told anyone about the flood disaster, we would have been arrested by now."

After all, it caused considerable social panic. If the authorities really want to investigate this matter, they will bear a considerable responsibility.

But now they are simply doing charity, and the report was released by Ruan Qing to give back to society. This superficial excuse is perfect, and even if the higher-ups want to investigate, they will think twice.

Lin Ziqiu lowered his voice and warned, "Be careful recently. Didn't the Ruan family look for you?"

Morality is not something you can eat, let alone those people from the Lin family. She will never be manipulated again.

She no longer cares about family affection or fatherly love!

Lin Xiaojun was stunned, his eyes widened in disbelief, "Sister——"

"You little brat, don't you understand what I'm saying?" Zhong Xuexi walked in from outside, glaring at him impatiently. "What does the life and death of you and your parents have to do with my sister-in-law? When my sister-in-law was in your house before, she couldn't even get enough to eat. How dare you think that an apology will make her relent and give you food?"
