On the day of her return to China, she was tied up and coaxed by the richest man to get her marriage

"Absurd! You actually believe that the rare badge was given by Jiang Xintong, and you don't believe that Chaochao made it. Who is your real sister?" Yu Zongxian could hardly imagine how heartbroken Chaochao must be at this moment.

Yu Jinxian explained earnestly, "Dad, Xintong sent me her registration information, and she always takes photos of the mountain she climbs. Last year, when she video-chatted with me, I saw her at Jade Dragon Snow Mountain with my own eyes."

"It's absurd to erase everything Xintong did and assume it was her just because of one sentence from Chaochao."

Yu Zongxian's thick brows furrowed even deeper. He believed that A-Xian was not the type to blindly trust others.

But he also believed that Chaochao would never steal anyone's credit.

So the most likely scenario is that Jiang Xintong did go to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, but she didn't stay until the end and instead benefited from Chaochao's efforts.

She destroyed the letters between the brother and sister, making A-Xian think that Chaochao had forgotten him. She also intercepted the gifts between the brother and sister, severing their relationship. At this critical moment, she took advantage of the situation to present the gifts to the Buddha, which can be described as having the right time, place, and people.

Ah Xian is a man of great loyalty and righteousness, how could he not be moved by Jiang Xintong and trust her completely?

“Dad, Xintong has always put Chaochao first and has compromised so much. Now she even wants to sacrifice herself so that Chaochao and I can be reconciled. She really doesn’t have any bad intentions.”

Before her father could answer, Yu Jinxian tightened her grip on Yu Jinzhao's wrist, looking at her fair and gentle profile, and softly parted her lips.

"Chaochao, that's enough. Xintong truly treats you like an older sister. She has endured so much for you. I don't expect you to be grateful to her, but please be more forgiving towards her."

Although he had no intention of blaming Yu Jinzhao, a sigh still escaped his lips, making him appear cold and melancholic.

Unlike its usual gentle warmth, it was crisp and clear, like a handful of snow, cooler than the wind and rain of the moment.

Yu Jinzhao stared at him intently, her breathing becoming heavier.

Considering Jiang Xintong's suffering from rheumatism, Yu Jinxian, with his slender yet upright figure, specially stood to her side, preventing the wind and rain from harming her in the slightest.

However, they did not notice the slight tremor in Yu Jinzhao's legs at that moment.

Raindrops slanted down and landed on her long eyelashes, making her fair face appear even whiter and concealing the deep pain in her eyes.

Jiang Xintong lowered her head, a slight smile playing on her lips.

If you're going to put on a show, you have to go all the way, so naturally she had to take some photos near the snow-capped mountains to make it look like a performance.

The snow-capped mountains were so high, the altitude sickness was so severe, and the oxygen was insufficient. Just staying at the foot of the mountain for a few minutes was unbearable, let alone climbing up step by step... She couldn't bear that kind of suffering.

Yu Jinzhao, that fool, recklessly charged forward, letting her reap the benefits for free. Isn't that great?

Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Yu Jinzhao's legs, which she was trying her best to control, and a crazy sense of satisfaction welled up inside her.

"Ah, it hurts so much..." Jiang Xintong groaned in pain again.

Seeing that Yu Jinzhao still wouldn't let go, Yu Jinxian's voice held a hint of helplessness.

"Chaochao, I owe Xintong a lot. For the sake of our past relationship, please don't make things difficult for me, okay?"

He knew that Chaochao didn't care about him as her older brother, but even if she didn't care, she should still respect him.

Even though he was heartbroken by her, he still fulfilled his duties as an elder brother to her.

Yu Zongxian's expression was heavy. A-Xian actually used his past relationship with Chaochao to make Chaochao back down.

Don't they know that this will only waste their precious past feelings?

He thought that if he could see his daughter's heart, it would surely be surrounded by thorns, pierced and bleeding profusely.

A sharp, throbbing pain shot through my already heavy chest.

Yu Jinzhao saw a hint of gentle coaxing in Yu Jinxian's warm and jade-like fox eyes, a cool light that also conveyed a familiar sense of acceptance.

The tolerance was no longer the pampering of the past, but a deep sense of helplessness, like an adult watching a naughty child, feeling somewhat exhausted.

Yu Jinxian sighed softly. If he hadn't been afraid of hurting her, he would have pulled her away from the start.

In his eyes, Chaochao is now just a spoiled child.

He tried to convince himself not to care, but he knew that she had become so extreme and ruthless largely because of him.

He failed to restrain her; he let her run wild.

Every cause has its effect, and he had to bear the consequences of her willfulness.

Yu Jinzhao's expression was as cold as autumn, but her eyes were resolute. "What if I said I wouldn't let go?"

"Are you really planning to strangle her? Haven't the lessons from your past impulsiveness been painful and severe enough?" The dim light in his eyes was the expectation that she still respected him, which was gradually being washed away by the storm.

As soon as he finished speaking, a deep, mellow voice rang out, piercing through the wind and rain, cold and wild.

"She's dead, so be it. I'll take care of her body!"
