The matter was finally cleared up.
Zhu Qi still got involved with Bai Shurou, just like in the original plot.
Zhu Liuyue had a bit of a headache, but not much.
Anyway, if this stinky younger brother really helped an outsider against her, she wouldn't show any mercy! As for now, she'd just wait and see.
Bai Shucheng rubbed his nose and when he wiped it, his hand was covered in blood.
He looked at Zhu Liuyue in a reckless manner.
"Miss Zhu of the Zhu family, your brother really hit hard. He injured me. Pay the medical expenses, or I'll call the police and have him arrested!"
Zhu Qi looked nervous.
But Zhu Liuyue sneered a few times and said, "Okay, call the police. By the way, I'll inform your creditors to visit you at the police station."
Seeing that his intimidation didn't work and he was countered, Bai Shucheng then put on a pitiful look and looked at Bai Shurou, saying,
"Sister, I'm really doing this for your own good. Our family has gone bankrupt and can't pay off the debts. Those people will kill me."
"President Wang of Jindi Capital is a bit old, but he knows how to take care of people. If it weren't for your inability to catch Ye..."
He paused. He originally wanted to say that she couldn't catch Ye Yunjin, but then he remembered that Zhu Liuyue was still there, so he stopped.
Bai Shurou also looked nervous, afraid that others would misunderstand something.
"Brother, if you still consider me your sister, don't harm me."
"Fine!" Seeing that he wouldn't get anything today, Bai Shucheng pointed at the wounds on his body and said to Zhu Qi, "You hit me first. Out of humanitarianism, you should give me some medical expenses, right?"
Zhu Qi asked honestly, "How much do you want?"
Bai Shucheng asked for an exorbitant amount, "Two million."
"What kind of medical expenses cost two million? Are you crazy?"
"You broke my nose," Bai Shucheng insisted.
Ye Yunche, who had been standing aside without saying a word, suddenly grinned and said lazily, "Zhu Qi, this two million isn't expensive. Your brother - in - law will pay for you."
Zhu Qi subconsciously wanted to say "Thank you, brother - in - law", but then he thought, something's wrong.
He carefully sized up Ye Yunche.
He was sure that it was Brother Yunche who came today, not Brother Yunjin!
Before Zhu Qi could answer, Ye Yunche clenched his fist and stepped forward.
"Thud—"
He punched Bai Shucheng hard on the nose.
This time, the nose was really crooked.
Bai Shucheng cried in pain, baring his teeth and saying, "Ye Yunche, you're so cruel."
"Cruel? You can't take two million for free. You said Zhu Qi broke your nose, but I didn't see it broken just now." He smiled, raising the corner of his lips, and carefully examined Bai Shucheng's miserable state.
He slowly added, "Well, now it's really broken!"
After saying this, the young bully even waved at Zhu Qi and said, "But it was me who broke it just now, which doesn't seem to meet the compensation criteria."
"Zhu Qi, come here and punch him again."
"Otherwise, our Young Master Bai won't get this two million... Tut - tut..."
Bai Shucheng was on the verge of tears.
But he was even more afraid of not getting the two million if he was punched again.
Although it wasn't much, it was enough for him to delay the creditors for a while.
"Okay."
Zhu Qi obediently stepped forward and punched.
This time, Bai Shucheng was like a beaten soft shrimp and collapsed on the ground, twitching a few times.
"Brother!" Anyway, seeing her own brother beaten like this, Bai Shurou still felt a bit heart - ache.
She rushed forward to help him.
Bai Shucheng couldn't open his eyes due to the pain and still held up two fingers.
"Two... two million."
Ye Yunche raised his eyebrows and said arrogantly, "Don't worry, young master never goes back on his word. Here, two million."
Saying that, he threw a card on the ground not far from Bai Shucheng.
Bai Shucheng said excitedly, "Get... get it."
He motioned for Bai Shurou to pick it up.
But Bai Shurou used to be a noble young lady. Not to mention that the man she liked threw the card on the ground. If she squatted down to pick it up now, where would her face be?
So she stood still.
Bai Shucheng was very angry, but he had no strength, and blood was gushing from his nose.
Finally, Zhu Qi couldn't stand it anymore. He squatted down, picked up the card and handed it to Bai Shurou.
Bai Shurou bit her lips, lowered her head and said softly, "Thank you."
She didn't dare to look up.
She didn't dare to see what kind of looks others were giving her.
Pity, regret, ridicule, or...
She didn't dare to think.
...
On the way back, Zhu Liuyue had a cold face and said nothing.
Zhu Qi sat in the back row, like a child who had done something wrong, with his head down.
"Sis, I was wrong. Please forgive me."
Zhu Liuyue didn't say a word.
Zhu Qi said, "Sis, I know I shouldn't have meddled in other people's business, but that Bai Shucheng is such a jerk! I just saw Bai Shurou's situation and thought of you."
Zhu Liuyue gave a soft snort.
Zhu Qi said, "I was thinking at that time, if my sister was being bullied like this, I definitely couldn't bear it. So I got angry and punched Bai Shucheng. I swear, I won't meddle in the Bai family's affairs anymore!"
Zhu Liuyue said coldly, "I can't control you anyway."
Zhu Qi panicked and said, "Sis, I really know I was wrong. Sis, don't ignore me."
Actually, Zhu Liuyue was even more angry about the unfairness to the original Zhu Liuyue in the plot.
This well - behaved younger brother who had grown up following her around forgot everything just because he met the female lead, Bai Shurou. He even stabbed Zhu Liuyue in the back.
And Zhu Qi's current actions were very likely to follow the old path.
She felt both helpless and sad.
Ye Yunche, who was driving in the front seat, felt the cold aura coming from beside him.
He smiled and said,
"Okay, stop being angry."
"If the younger brother is disobedient, just beat him up. Don't get angry and hurt your own body."
"If you're too lazy to do it, I'll help you beat him."
He looked like a good brother - in - law.
Zhu Qi finally realized where that strange feeling had come from just now.
Something's wrong!
He remembered that Brother Yunche never liked his cousin. At first, when he knew that Brother Yunjin was going to be engaged to his cousin, he even caused a big scene.
Why is he accepting it so well now?
He even wants to help his cousin get revenge.
Thinking of the "brother - in - law" he blurted out just now, could it be...
Zhu Qi gasped.
He was almost scared by the truth he guessed! No way! It can't be! Oh my god!
He wanted to scream like a marmot.
And his dazed expression in the eyes of the other two just looked like he was in a daze and not listening at all.
Ye Yunche suddenly slammed on the brakes.
He stopped at the red light.
He turned his head, looked at Zhu Qi and showed a sinister smile, saying,
"Zhu Qi, be honest."
"Don't tell me you're in love with Bai Shurou?"
Unexpectedly, Ye Yunche was quite perceptive. Zhu Liuyue subconsciously turned her head to look at him.
Ye Yunche proudly raised his eyebrows.
Zhu Qi thought, what are you talking about.
He immediately shook his head like a rattle.
"No!"
"Brother Yunche, I was just thinking that you couldn't have fallen in love with my sister, could you?"
Suddenly, the car fell silent.
