"Hiss~" Jiang Xintong groaned softly in pain as she applied medicine, half of her face swollen. She stubbornly bit her lip, her eyes filled with tears, looking extremely pitiful.

The family doctor packed up his medicine kit and said to Yu Jinxian, "Young Master, Miss Jiang's facial injuries are quite severe. That slap was too forceful and ruptured her eardrum. Fortunately, the medicine was applied in time and no infection occurred, otherwise her hearing might have been damaged."

After hearing this, Yu Jinxian glared coldly at Yu Jinzhao, his dark eyebrows and eyes as cold as frost and snow. "Dad, don't speak to Yu Jinzhao anymore. Xintong's eardrum was perforated by her. What's the difference between this and intentional murder?"

"She's so ruthless to her own family. If she's not severely punished, one day she might go out and commit murder and arson, and the entire Yu family will suffer with her!"

"Alright, stop talking. You know Chaochao is naturally strong. How is this considered intentional murder? What kind of brother talks to his own sister like that?"

Yu Zongxian frowned and scolded his eldest son.

"Knowing that I am strong, I should not have hit Xintong so hard. It is precisely because I am her brother that I cannot let her be so unruly. Spoiling her will ruin her life. She has been spoiled by us and has lost all conscience and kindness!" Yu Jinxian said this while looking at Yu Jinzhao with cold and disappointed eyes.

Yu Jinzhao and Yu Jinxian looked at each other, and Yu Jinzhao gave a self-deprecating twitch at the corner of his lips.

He said the same thing as he did three years ago. Ever since his grandmother's accident, his brother, who used to love her, has come to believe that she is vicious and terrible, and has lost all trust in her.

Seeing the girl's unmoved and calm demeanor, Yu Jinxian's eyes grew colder, and his lips tightened.

"What kind of attitude is this? You did something wrong and you still act so entitled. Do you really think no one can control you?"

I warned you three years ago that if you cause trouble again, I will not let you off easily!

Xintong is the rightful second young lady of the Yu family, not a servant you can bully at will. How dare you lay a hand on her?

Yu Jinzhao rubbed his wrist and walked to the sofa to sit down.

Before she returned, she changed into a white dress, which accentuated her fair and clear complexion. Her fox-like eyes narrowed slightly, exuding a carefree and elegant charm.

"You only saw that Jiang Xintong was beaten, why don't you ask me why I hit her?"

"Is this a victim-blaming argument?" Yu Jinxian almost laughed in anger. He glared coldly at Yu Jinzhao, his phoenix eyes revealing a bone-chilling coldness, and the air seemed to freeze wherever he went.

"Xintong treats you like an older sister, and she's always been very tolerant and accommodating towards you, afraid of upsetting you. She's studying Western medicine. If your ear injury affects her medical career, how can you live with yourself?"

"Really? Then I almost rid the world of a scourge?" Yu Jinzhao said with a regretful expression, thinking that someone like Jiang Xintong didn't deserve to be a doctor.

"You!" Yu Jinxian was speechless with anger.

"Xian'er, since Tongtong is alright, don't blame Chaochao," Lin Hui said as a peacemaker, reaching out to hold Yu Jinchao's hand.

Ah.

Yu Jinzhao sneered and stepped back, looking at her with an icy expression.

She used to genuinely believe that Lin Hui was truly good to her and was a rare and wonderful stepmother.

But did Lin Hui really know nothing about Jiang Xintong pushing her grandmother down the stairs three years ago?

Without Lin Hui's involvement, how could Jiang Xintong have dared to do it?

Lin Hui was met with a cold shoulder and awkwardly withdrew her hand.

In Yu Jinxian's eyes, his disappointment in Yu Jinzhao reached a new level!

"Chaochao, what did you mean by what you just said? Did Xintong do something wrong?" Yu Zongxian asked with concern.

Yu Jinzhao's fox-like eyes were cold and clear. "Father, last night was my wedding night with Si Qing. We were enjoying our time together when Jiang Xintong barged in with paparazzi. Such a lack of manners! I should have slapped her!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Zongxian glared angrily at Jiang Xintong and rebuked her, "Xintong, why did you bring paparazzi to bother your sister and brother-in-law? What kind of behavior is this?"

Jiang Xintong's expression changed slightly, and she said with great grievance, "Uncle Yu, Brother Jinxian, I didn't, how could I possibly do such a thing?"

Jiang Xintong didn't intend to admit what happened in the morning. Anyway, she was certain that Si Qing didn't take Yu Jinzhao seriously after Yu Jinzhao returned home alone, and he would never help her prove anything!

In this situation, doesn't she just have to say whatever she wants?

“I know you are kind-hearted and don’t lie. Only Yu Jinzhao could do something like this.”

Yu Jinxian patted Jiang Xintong on the shoulder, and only after saying this did he look at Yu Jinzhao. His gentle and refined expression towards Jiang Xintong suddenly turned cold.

Jiang Xintong bit her lip and said timidly, "Brother Jinxian, my sister insists that I pushed Grandma three years ago and that I wronged her. I refused to take such a big blame, so in a fit of anger, she hit me."

Yu Jinxian was stunned, then laughed in extreme anger.

"Dad, did you hear that? Not only does Yu Jinzhao still not repent for what happened three years ago and refuse to admit her mistakes, but she also wants Xintong to take the blame for her. Is this the result of her three years of self-reflection?"

Yu Zongxian was taken aback. "Is that so, Chaochao?"

Yu Jinzhao shook his head, looking blank. "No."

Jiang Xintong was stunned. Yu Jinzhao actually denied it. How could she continue to stir things up?

She originally thought Yu Jinzhao was a hot-tempered person who couldn't tolerate even a speck of dust, and since she remembered that it was Yu Jinzhao who pushed her grandmother three years ago, she would definitely make a big fuss to clear her name.

During those three years, she tried to please Yu Jinxian while doing some things that made Yu Jinxian completely disillusioned with Yu Jinzhao.

At this point, if Yu Jinzhao tries to shift the blame onto her, it will only make Yu Jinxian feel that Yu Jinzhao is beyond redemption.

That way, she can become the darling of the Yu family!

If it were Yu Jinzhao three years ago, she might have really torn things apart, but three years later, she has learned her lesson.

She wouldn't act foolishly or recklessly before obtaining solid evidence, lest she alert the enemy.

This time, she will definitely plan carefully and thoroughly investigate what happened three years ago, how Jiang Xintong and Lin Hui wronged her and harmed her grandmother, and she will make them pay a hundredfold.

Yu Zongxian hesitated for a moment, then said to his eldest son, "Since Chaochao says it's nothing, then there's no need to dig deeper into this matter. We agreed three years ago that as long as Chaochao is sent abroad, it will be considered a closed matter, and no one should mention it again!"

Jiang Xintong vomited blood. Why did Uncle Yu still favor Yu Jinzhao as always after Grandma's accident?

Yu Jinxian countered, "If Yu Jinzhao truly knew she was wrong, she should have gone to her grandmother's bedside to kowtow and admit her mistake. Only then could the matter be considered over. But do you see even a trace of remorse in her?"

If Yu Jinzhao had admitted that she was the one who pushed her grandmother back then, instead of denying it, and had properly apologized, Yu Jinxian wouldn't be so heartbroken.

Yu Jinzhao looked up, his clear black and white fox-like eyes staring silently at Yu Jinxian.

His gaze was calm and gentle, devoid of his usual arrogance, but like a frozen lake, solidifying all emotions, a chilling coldness of a dead heart.

"Yu Jinzhao!" Yu Jinxian's heart tightened inexplicably, and an indescribable emotion surged through her heart.

Yu Jinzhao's coldness towards him made him somewhat uncomfortable.

Yu Jinzhao picked up the teacup on the table, took a small sip, and spoke in a soft voice.

“I said I didn’t say it, and that’s it. Brother, you can’t just falsely accuse me because you only believe Jiang Xintong.”

Yu Zongxian looked at his daughter in surprise.

He knew his daughter best; Yu Jinzhao was spoiled and domineering, and would explode at the slightest thing that didn't suit her.

He originally thought that Yu Jinzhao and Yu Jinxian would have a huge argument like they did three years ago, but he didn't expect her to handle it so calmly.

The daughter seemed to have become smarter, knowing that confronting him head-on would only anger her brother, and if things got out, people would think that she had done something wrong but refused to admit it and was even smearing her stepsister.

Jiang Xintong spoke, her voice choked with emotion.

"Sister, I didn't mind you hitting me in the first place, but why don't you admit what you said? Doesn't that make me the one who lied?"

Yu Jinzhao sneered, "Aren't you the same?"

Jiang Xintong, “…”

I have never seen such a shameless person!

"Have you said enough?" Yu Jinxian narrowed his eyes, his gaze coldly scrutinizing Yu Jinzhao.

Three years have passed, and the girlish innocence on Yu Jinzhao's face has completely faded. Upon closer inspection, she still retains some of her childish charm.

But the more Yu Jinxian looked at her, the more unfamiliar she seemed. The ruthless younger sister in front of her was no longer the lovable younger sister she remembered.

His gaze was icy and disdainful. "You are now a liar, a vicious person. What can I believe about you, and what have I said that has wronged you?"

She looked up at Yu Jinxian, at his cold brows and disappointed eyes.

Her hands clenched tightly as she hung down, a hint of hurt flashing in her eyes, but she blinked and hid all her emotions.

"Someone, bring me the family rules!"

Yu Zongxian became anxious, "Xian'er, what are you trying to do? Chaochao is your own sister. You used to dote on her so much. You would even cry when she got a scrape. How can you bear to hit her?"

Jiang Xintong and Lin Hui exchanged a glance, and a look of pleasure flashed in their eyes at the same time.

"It's because I spoiled her just like you did that I raised her to be so bad. Now I know I was wrong, and I have to discipline her properly. Father, your soft heart will only harm Yu Jinzhao. Actually, I should have given her this family discipline three years ago!"

Yu Jinxian's jaw tightened into a straight line as she gritted her teeth and said,

“The eldest brother is like a father. Now that I am in charge of the Yu family, Father, if you can’t bring yourself to do it, then let me…”

Suddenly, "bang!"

The door behind them was pushed open, and a voice as cold as ice rang out.

"Do you dare to touch her?"
