To make up for the debt owed to Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

This strange woman was saying strange things to her.

Are you here to see Li Zhiyuan?

Zhangzhu nodded, "Yes! Hello, sister." At this moment, Zhangzhu still had a big smile on her face, thinking that this was her brother's colleague, and politely called her sister.

Looking at the girl in front of her, Wan Xuening felt a strange sense of being mocked for being older than herself, and couldn't help but say coldly, "How old are you? Why are you calling people 'sister' so casually?"

"I'm eighteen!" Zhangzhu answered sincerely, but in her heart she began to doubt whether she had called her by the wrong name.

"You're eighteen and you're not studying properly? You've gone astray?"

The girl was completely bewildered: How did I become so bad?

"Eighteen, what an ill-mannered and impolite child!" Wan Xuening frowned.

Zhangzhu was also a little angry. "I'm perfectly fine. I don't know you and I haven't done anything to you. Why are you insulting me for no reason? And you know I'm here to see Li Zhiyuan, which proves you know me, so why are you still so rude to me? Are you my brother's enemy?"

Thinking about it that way, she simply decided to be impolite!

Zhangzhu smiled brightly, "I'm sorry, I might have called you the wrong person. I should have called you Auntie, right? I'm sorry, Auntie, the light was against me, so I couldn't see very clearly."

“You…” Wan Xuening’s face turned pale with anger.

Lu Yi, who witnessed the entire process, felt both heartache and anger when he saw his daughter rendered speechless by a little girl. He realized that he had raised his daughter to be too kind, and she didn't even know how to argue!

Lu Yi stepped forward and stood beside his daughter, his face stern. He said to Zhangzhu, "Do you know how you've made such a big fuss at the hospital? Do the patients know? Do Zhiyuan's colleagues know? Do you know how bad this is? It could bring negative reviews to Zhiyuan and severely damage his career!"

Zhangzhu was even more confused: What negative impact could there be if I came to see my brother? And who are you?

"My precious daughter!"

Just as they were still in a daze, Zhiyuan's call broke the deadlock in this small corner.

"Brother!" Zhangzhu skipped over, grabbed her brother's arm, and looked at the two people in their direction. "Who are these two? Why didn't they tell me to come find you!"

Lu Yi and Wan Xuening were both stunned, their faces turning pale and then red: How could it be his brother? Could it be his sister?

Lu Yi even blamed Dean Wan: "That damned old Wan, how could he not do a proper background check on people! Didn't the file say that Zhiyuan has a sister?"

Zhiyuan took Zhangzhu's hand and walked up to Lu Yi and Wan Xuening. "Aunt Lu, Wan Xuening, has my sister done something to upset you?"

Lu Yi and Wan Xuening opened their mouths, about to speak, when Zhiyuan interrupted them.

“Auntie, my younger sister’s name is Zhangzhu, which means exactly what it says. She’s the apple of our eye. From childhood to adulthood, the whole family, including me, has never wanted her to suffer any hardship. She’s also very outstanding. She’s been kind and well-behaved since she was little, and she’s never done anything wrong or made a mistake…”

Hearing this, Zhangzhu herself was silently looking at her toes—she truly felt unworthy of the compliment of never making a mistake. Brother, take it easy on me. However, every word her brother said was so warm and comforting, it melted her heart.

Zhiyuan continued, "So, I guess it must be because I haven't done well enough and offended you, which is why you took your anger out on my sister. For this, I'd like to apologize to you first. In the future, you can just talk to me directly if you have anything to say. If I make my sister cry, I won't be able to explain myself when I get back. My parents won't let anyone get away with it."

He said "I'm not going to be able to explain this to anyone" while smiling, but what he really meant was: I made my sister cry, and I won't let anyone get away with it.
