Don't meet me in your next life.

Lin Lubai parked his car on the side of the road and lit a cigarette.

It's absurd and exciting to have your wife be your ex-girlfriend who is also your half-sister.

He took a deep drag of his cigarette and exhaled it into the air.

He had a million possibilities in his mind, even thinking that they might be friends, but he never expected that it was his ex-girlfriend. He had married his younger brother's ex-girlfriend.

He forcefully stubbed out his cigarette on the car door, turned around, and quickly walked towards the Lu family's house.

Seeing Lu Sichen at the gate, Lin Lubai drove the car straight in, which really startled Lu Sichen.

"Brother? Did you forget to take something?" Lu Sichen asked curiously why Lin Lubai had come back at this time.

Lin Lubai jumped out of the car and headed straight for Lu Sichen.

"Let's talk." Lin Lubai sat down directly.

"Hmm? Oh." Lu Sichen sat down directly. This was the first time his brother had taken the initiative to approach him, but why did his brother's expression look unfriendly?

"Tell me, what exactly do you want by putting your ex-girlfriend in front of me?" Lin Lubai asked bluntly.

"Brother, you must have misunderstood. I broke up with her and had no idea she was with you," Lu Sichen tried to explain.

"Really? What a coincidence? You broke up this morning and I seamlessly moved on this morning? And she even went to the sea where my mother died to wait for me. You're saying all of this has nothing to do with you?" Lin Lubai glared at Lu Sichen.

“No matter what you think, I really didn’t know you two were together. Before this, she didn’t even know you existed,” Lu Sichen explained again.

"Fine, just don't let me find out you're up to something." Lin Lubai originally wanted to test Lu Sichen, but at this moment he was like a furious lion.

"Brother, promise me you won't hurt her, okay? She deserves to be loved." Lu Sichen said to Lin Lubai as he turned to leave.

"That's my wife, it's none of your business to tell her what to do," Lin Lubai retorted angrily.

He was angry, extremely angry. Lu Sichen still loved her. This seemed completely different from what he knew about Lu Sichen having another woman and dumping Xiang Yiyi. There was something fishy going on between the two of them.

""

The thought that Xiang Yi might be a "spy" planted in his place by Lu Sichen caused him intense pain.

But if it wasn't true, then the events of that day were too coincidental. His mind was in turmoil, and he was very anxious.

"I'll give you half an hour. Stay with me until Qiye, or you'll have to go to Africa." Lin Lubai made a phone call to Xiao Zhao.

"Brother, I'm in the suburbs, you can at least give me an hour," Xiao Zhao complained.

"Alright, I'll give you two days to pack your things and head to Africa," Lin Lubai said.

"Okay, okay, I'll be there in half an hour." After saying that, Xiao Zhao immediately drove off to Seven Nights Bar.

Ten minutes later, Lin Lubai arrived at Qi Ye's door; he wanted to drown his sorrows in alcohol that day.

Disliking those women, he booked a private room, ordered two dozen bottles of wine, and started drinking by himself.

He had originally planned to take her back to Lucheng to meet his grandfather after he finished these few days of work, but now he was unsure whether she truly wanted to be with him, and whether Lu Sichen was the only one in his heart.

Since I took her home, she hasn't sent me a single message. I wonder if she's chatting with Lu Sichen right now.

Thinking about all this made him extremely anxious, and he kept drinking bottle after bottle of alcohol, trying to numb himself.

By the time Xiao Zhao arrived, Lu Sichen had already finished a dozen beers.

Xiang Yi did receive a call from Lu Sichen, but it was from an unknown number. She had blocked him since the day they broke up.

"I'm sorry, Yi Yi, I may have done something wrong." Lu Sichen apologized to Yi Yi.

"I've already said it, that's all in the past, it's over between us." Xiang Yi felt a little uncomfortable. How could someone who had been together for so long not have feelings for each other? But she was already married, and the relationship was over.

“That’s not what I meant. Lin Lubai just came back to me. He knows about our past relationship. I didn’t want to tell you, but I was afraid he would bully you,” Lu Sichen confessed.

"What did you say? Lin Lubai knows?" Xiang Yi was shocked. He hadn't said anything when he brought her back.

What should I do? What should I do? Xiang Yi was nervous and uneasy.

"Yi Yi, don't worry. If he dares to do anything to you, tell me and I'll explain to him," Lu Sichen comforted her.

“What’s the use of telling you? He misunderstood me because of you. If you get involved again, things will only get worse. Let’s not contact each other anymore.” Xiang Yiyi calmed down a bit.

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone: "Okay, if this is for your own good, I agree."

"Can I ask you something? Why does Lin Lubai hate you all so much, hate the Lu family?" Xiang Yi asked.

“My mother stole his father, and his mother couldn’t bear it and committed suicide due to depression,” Lu Sichen said.

"What happened after that? What about being dumped in Africa?" Xiang Yi pressed.

"Abandon him in Africa? How come I didn't know about that? I only heard my mother say that when my brother was ten years old, he tried to strangle me, but my father happened to see it. My father sent him abroad to study, but later my grandfather didn't accept him and went to pick him up and sent him to my maternal grandfather's house," Lu Sichen said.

"Strangle you? Is there some misunderstanding?" Xiang Yi was somewhat surprised. She couldn't believe that the person who mistakenly thought she had jumped into the river to save her would do such a thing.

“I don’t know the specifics. I only know some things about him from my mother. And not long after that, he didn’t want to come back. After he came of age, he changed his surname himself,” Lu Sichen said.

Something seemed amiss, and only Lu Yaodong and Lu Chengmin likely knew the truth. Xiang Yi was suspicious.

"I'll ask my grandfather tomorrow and see if I can find out anything." Actually, Lu Sichen didn't believe that Lin Lubai wanted him dead.

Over the years, although Lin Lubai hated the Lu family and his parents, he would stick to him every time he came back. He would just tell him to leave and never laid a hand on him or even said anything harsh. Once, he even took the blame for him.

Thinking of this, Lu Sichen decided to get to the bottom of things. He also wanted to know why Lin Lubai hated the Lu family so much. He also wanted to resolve his inner conflict. He hoped that someone could shoulder the responsibility of the Lu family and protect Xiang Yiyi. Now, that person could only be Lin Lubai. He needed to speed things up, as he didn't have much time left.

"Be careful, my brother has a bad temper. Call me if anything happens," Lu Sichen said to Xiang Yiyi.

"Okay, I got it. I'm hanging up now." Xiang Yi hung up the phone.

This sudden pile of things gave Xiang Yi a headache. Since Lin Lubai already knew about her relationship with Lu Sichen, he didn't mention it at all on the way back. What did he mean by that? Could it be that he really misunderstood that she and Lu Sichen were in cahoots?

Xiang Yi felt a throbbing pain in her forehead and her right eyelid was twitching. She wanted to call Lin Lubai to explain, but she didn't know how to start.
