Reborn with the ability to read minds, I became a heartthrob.

"Fine! I'll let you explain, let's see what you can come up with!" Zhou Jianguo was furious, but he laughed instead, narrowing his eyes and staring at Han Xiaofen with a sinister look.

Han Xiaofen's face had turned ashen, and she suddenly turned her anger towards Zhou Wenyue: "It was your sister-in-law! That day, after she found out that you were going to hand Wanbao over to Zhou Liwan, she came up with this plan to make you disappointed in Wanwan and thus hand Wanbao over to her!"

Seeing Han Xiaofen instantly shift all the blame onto her, Zhou Wenyue was furious and stood up, spitting a mouthful of phlegm at Han Xiaofen, gritting her teeth and saying, "You bitch! It was clearly you who resented Zhou Liwan for taking Wanbao away from your brother, that's why you called me crying and complaining!"

“That’s not how it is, Jianguo! You have to believe me! I’m already pregnant with the Zhou family’s child, so why would I care about this little company?” Han Xiaofen’s eyes filled with large tears as she looked at Zhou Jianguo pitifully.

Zhou Wenyue couldn't stand Han Xiaofen's seductive appearance and was about to tear her apart when Zhou Jianguo kicked her away, saying, "What do you think you're doing!"

"Brother, how could you kick me for such a shameless slut! I'm your own sister!" Zhou Wenyue was furious and blurted out whatever she wanted.

"When you did that, did you ever think that Wanwan was your own niece?! You actually used such vicious methods for a small company, are you even human?! You've shot yourself in the foot!" Zhou Jianguo roared in anguish.

"If it weren't for her, how could I have been ridiculed for seducing my own stepfather! If it weren't for her, why wouldn't Wanbao give it to me! If it weren't for her, Uncle Zhou would have left all the bonds and shares left by Jiang Xinyi to Boyan!" Zhou Wenyue stared intently at Zhou Liwan, her hatred growing stronger.

"Stop arguing! You made a mistake, what right do you have to blame Wanwan? I think it's because you've been spoiled too much since you were little that you're now complaining and blaming everyone, instead of looking for the problem within yourself!" Zhou Jianguo scolded angrily.

“Aunt, just apologize to Father!” Zhou Liwan advised without holding a grudge, which surprised everyone and earned her a higher regard. She paused and continued, “Besides, I don’t think Father is a reasonable person. He’s not like what you say at all. I think you may have some misunderstandings about him over the years.”

His serious expression almost convinced Yao Ruofu, who was standing to the side.

She pursed her lips and continued watching the play with great interest.

Zhou Jianguo sensed something was wrong and pressed Zhou Liwan for details: "What does she usually say to you about me?"

Zhou Liwan hesitated for a moment, but still spoke up: "I don't quite believe this either. My aunt said that you forced Han Xiaofen into that relationship..."

Zhou Jianguo's face immediately darkened.

Those around them complained incessantly, yet were also extremely excited.

Being a live observer of the spectacle has that thrilling, yet frightening, feeling.

"You bitch, I'm going to kill you!" Zhou Wenyue wanted to rush up and strangle Zhou Liwan to death so that she would never speak again.

She felt a little flustered and scared. Her older brother's eyes were so cold that he didn't seem like a normal person.

Han Xiaofen's heart tightened immediately, fearing that the man's anger would be directed at her. She anxiously gripped Zhou Jianguo's hand tightly: "Wen Yue, Jianguo and I are mutually in love and companions. You can't make such a fuss about your older brother just because you're angry!"

Hearing her words, Zhou Wenyue's eyes blazed with fury: "Pah! You shameless bastard! Back then it was clearly..."

Zhou Jianguo didn't want to listen anymore. He grabbed Zhou Wenyue by the neck and lifted her up. His sinister voice whispered in her ear, "Shut your mouth! If you say another word, I don't mind losing a sister."

After saying that, he withdrew his hand and immediately slumped back to the ground like a lump of mud: "The marriage with that family in Shancheng is not off yet. Pack your things and get out tonight!"

"No! No! Aren't you afraid Uncle Zhou will scold you when he gets back?" Zhou Wenyue said with a glimmer of hope.

Zhou Jianguo turned his back and said, "You've done such a shameful thing with another man behind his back. Do you think he'll still care about you?"

"No, Uncle Zhou won't abandon me." Tears streamed down Zhou Wenyue's face, her body feeling as cold as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

She knew she was truly finished this time.

"Jianguo, I see there's nothing else to do, so we'll be leaving now!" Yao Kangcheng realized he'd seen enough of the show and that staying any longer would be impolite.

Zhou Jianguo suppressed his anger, nodding with a dark face, "Please excuse my behavior, this matter..."

"Don't worry, don't worry..." Yao Kangcheng glanced at Zhou Liwan without saying a word, then strode away with a group of men in suits who were already suffering greatly.

After everyone left, the room fell silent.

Only Zhou Wenyue's murmurs could be heard.

Zhou Liwan smirked smugly, and at Yao Ruofu's prompting, the two of them slipped away unnoticed.

Only after leaving the hotel did he burst into hearty laughter.

Yao Ruofu let out a booming laugh: "It was so much fun! You have no idea how much I wanted to grab a chair and sit down next to her, eat some melon seeds, and watch the show!"

Zhou Liwan also laughed, her heavy expression brightening up: "This is all thanks to Uncle Yao and your strong support!"

Yao Ruofu sighed and casually put her hand on Zhou Liwan's shoulder: "Now Zhou Wenyue is completely unable to make a splash. Shancheng is such a place that there aren't even any decent roads. You have to rely on mules to get in and out. If you want to contact the outside world, you have to cross mountains and valleys to find a small shop with a telephone in town."

"I never imagined Zhou Jianguo could be so ruthless. That's his own sister!" Zhou Liwan looked back at the seventh-floor suite, her heart heavy.

Yao Ruofu opened her car door and let Zhou Liwan get in first. After they were seated, she said, "But if I hadn't heard about that place from the land survey team under my dad, I wouldn't have even heard of Shancheng. I don't know how your dad got in touch with people there."

Zhou Liwan rested her slender, fair fingers on her forehead, her eyes narrowing thoughtfully.

It seems that Zhou Jianguo's businesses do not involve real estate, right?

That······

Seeing Zhou Liwan lost in thought again, Yao Ruofu waved her hand and said, "You're overthinking things. Why are you thinking so much? I'll take you to see how your peace lock is being repaired."

Zhou Liwan asked curiously, "It's fixed so quickly? Didn't you say it would take a long time?"

Yao Ruofu took a sip of the Evian cigarettes in the car and said clearly, "I didn't say it was fixed. I just wanted to let you relive your motherly love."

Zhou Liwan opened her mouth speechlessly, but ultimately said nothing and silently turned her head away.
