I snagged a bargain in a melodramatic novel and became incredibly wealthy!

Caiyi had a half-smile on his lips as he looked at his younger brother, who was now running away with his head in his hands after he had beaten him.

He slowly began to speak, "My dear brother, you must understand that there's a saying that goes, 'Spare the rod and spoil the child.'"

As she spoke, her hands continued moving without pause, instead increasing their force and speed.

"Besides, my love for you is very deep!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cai Yi's fists rained down on Jiang Yunhan, each blow carrying immense force, as if he wanted to vent all the anger in his heart.

Jiang Yunhan screamed in pain as she was beaten, repeatedly crying out, "Ah—it hurts so much! You crazy woman, you're not my sister!"

However, his protests had no effect and instead provoked even fiercer attacks from Caiyi.

Upon hearing Jiang Yunhan's outburst, Caiyi put on a heartbroken expression and began to cry in a feigned manner: "Little brother, how could you say such hurtful things? It really breaks my heart."

"Since that's the case, I'll just have to hit you even harder to quell the hatred in my heart."

"Oh, no, I mean you should reflect on yourself."

After she finished speaking, her movements became even more ruthless and merciless.

Seeing that begging for mercy was hopeless, Jiang Yunhan had no choice but to quickly change his tune and shout, "You—you are my sister! Please, please stop hitting me!"

Unfortunately, Caiyi was no longer listening to him and continued to commit violence as she pleased.

"Hmph, so what if you admit I'm your sister? You're so young yet you're not learning anything good. You already have a girlfriend, but you still dare to deceive Li Xue!"

"If I don't teach you a lesson today, who knows what kind of trouble you'll cause in the future!" Cai Yi angrily accused Jiang Yunhan, his fist showing no sign of stopping.

She made that up, but judging from her character, she's probably not a good person.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yunhan's pupils suddenly contracted, and he was secretly astonished.

How did she find out that she had a girlfriend?

However, in this critical moment, he had no time to think about these issues, because the fist that was about to fall made him completely oblivious to everything else.

Just then, Xu Qingming, who had been observing coldly from the sidelines, spoke up: "Caiyi, that's about enough."

Upon hearing Xu Qingming's words, Cai Yi reluctantly stopped what he was doing, smacked his lips, and muttered a complaint: "Ugh, what a spoilsport."

When she looked closely at Jiang Yunhan lying on the ground, she found that he had already fainted.

Of course, only Jiang Yunhan himself knew that he was actually just pretending to be unconscious in order to temporarily escape this predicament.

Although Cai Yi still wanted to beat Jiang Yunhan up, he couldn't afford to kill him.

Jiang Yunhan pretended to be unconscious, but he was indeed seriously injured.

After all, what if something happens to Jiang Yunhan, or even if he dies?

His family has a lot of trouble behind them.

At this moment, Li Xue asked with a sad expression, "Does Yun Han really have a girlfriend?"

His tone was filled with disbelief and disappointment.

Wei Ke, standing to the side, answered without hesitation: "Caiyi is his own sister, how could she possibly lie to you?"

Upon hearing this answer, Li Xue's expression grew even more unpleasant.

Following that, Jiang Li expressed her opinion: "If Jiang Yunhan wasn't the kind of person who is fickle and indecisive, how could Caiyi have treated his own younger brother so cruelly?"

These words were like a sharp sword piercing her heart, leaving Li Xue in silence.

After a while, Li Xue slowly said, "Cai Yi has already taught Yun Han a lesson, and I believe he will definitely break off his relationship with his ex-girlfriend completely..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Baihua interrupted her: "Li Xue, from what you're saying, are you planning to become a third party and interfere in other people's relationships?"

Upon hearing this, both Jiang Li and Wei Ke's expressions changed.

Faced with the surprised looks and doubts of the crowd, Li Xue was stunned. She opened her mouth several times but could not utter a complete sentence.

At this moment, Wei Ke quickly advised, "Li Xue, you must not make such a foolish mistake!"

"You're young, beautiful, and well-educated. Why would you stoop so low as to become someone's mistress?"

Li Xue simply lowered her head and muttered softly, "Actually, my grades have always been terrible..."

During this period, everyone has been studying hard and striving for excellence, and everyone seems to be working exceptionally hard.

She was the only one who felt that she couldn't fit into such a tense learning environment at all.

Although Caiyi always complained that studying was too hard and tiring, she actually didn't miss any of the knowledge she needed to acquire.

In contrast, Li Xue knew that she genuinely disliked studying, so her academic progress naturally lagged far behind others.

Even though she was with them, she felt out of place.

Even her once closest best friend, Wei Ke, seems to be drifting further and further away from her.

They used to be inseparable, laughing and playing together, but from some point onwards, Wei Ke devoted all her energy to her studies, and the time they spent together became very limited.

However, just when she was feeling extremely lost, Jiang Yunhan appeared in her life.

These past few days, he has stayed by her side, bringing her a touch of warmth.

"Li Xue, I just heard you say you wanted to be a mistress?"

Cai Yi walked over with a gloomy face, talking as he vigorously rubbed his knuckles, making a chilling cracking sound.

Li Xue was startled and quickly looked at Jiang Yunhan, who was lying on the ground with a bruised and swollen face. She immediately shook her head and explained, "No, I just said that I want to break up with Jiang Yunhan!"

Caiyi looked at her with some skepticism and pressed for an answer: "Really?"

At this moment, Li Xue wished she could immediately swear a solemn oath to prove her innocence. She nodded repeatedly, indicating that what she said was true.

经过这番惊吓，她终于想明白了一个道理：恋爱固然重要，但若是因此而挨揍受伤，说不定连小命都难保。

After all, she was so young and beautiful, how could she let herself die so young?

At this moment, Wei Ke spoke up, "It's good that you've regained consciousness."

Then, she smiled slightly and continued, "As a reward for your change of heart, I'll take you out to play tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Li Xue's eyes widened, and she exclaimed with delight, "Really?"

Lately, she has been buried in books and exercises every Saturday and Sunday, almost turning into a bookworm.

The thought of going out and having fun tomorrow instantly lifted her spirits.
