"How long has this been going on?" Yue Lingchen asked indifferently after wrapping Yue Xin in a blanket.
Yue Xin pursed her lips. She thought that she couldn't fool Yue Lingchen, who had seen countless people, with her brain, so she answered honestly, "Only today."
What Yue Xin said was the truth, but she was in a sorry state now. She looked pitiful just now, which reduced the credibility of this truth. Compared to what Yue Xin said, Yue Lingchen trusted his judgment more. He felt that Yue Xin was threatened, so she didn't dare to tell the truth. Thinking of this, Yue Lingchen's heart suddenly ached and he got angry.
No matter what, Yue Xin was the daughter of the Yue family. How could she be bullied like this? How did the two people at home educate Yue Xin to have such an easy-to-bully personality?
Thinking of how Yue Xin would usually dress carefully when she saw him, Yue Lingchen concluded that there must have been an omen for what happened today. It was just that no one in the family cared.
"Did you resist?" Yue Lingchen asked.
Yue Xin trembled. It was finally here. From the moment she attacked, she knew that this matter couldn't be hidden. She only hoped that she would be discovered later. However, Yue Lingchen had already asked, so she could only answer obediently.
In the Yue family, taking the initiative to admit her mistake would result in a lighter punishment as opposed to being forced to admit the crime. Moreover, in her memory, Yue Lingchen could always accurately tell if she was lying or not. After weighing the pros and cons, Yue Xin obediently replied, "I beat them up."
Hearing this, the corners of Yue Lingchen's mouth subconsciously curled up, but he quickly returned to normal and said indifferently, "Yes, you did very well. The children of the Yue family don't bully others, but they can't be bullied either."
"Thank you, Big Brother." Yue Xin could feel that Yue Lingchen was really teaching her with all his heart. In addition, he was too handsome when he stood up for her just now. Even though she knew that she was not his biological sister, she was still very grateful to her big brother for protecting her now.
"Big brother is so awesome!" Yue Xin said sincerely.
Initially, Yue Lingchen regretted his impulsive decision to abandon his work and come here. However, after hearing Yue Xin's words, he suddenly felt that everything was worth it. This was the first time in his life that he felt like an elder brother. However, he still had some doubts in his heart. Yue Xin was clearly so afraid of him in the past. Why did she suddenly change her attitude towards him? Could it be that someone had taught her something?
Yue Lingchen asked, "Who taught you to say these things?"
Yue Xin saw Yue Lingchen looking at her with an inquisitive expression and wondered if she had gone overboard with her flattery just now. In prison, it was very important to have a flattering mouth. Saying something nice would not be a loss to her, but it would make others feel comfortable and make them happy.
She remembered that someone had said to her, "Charm is a very ethereal thing, but to put it bluntly, it's to make others like you. Yue Xin, you're too stiff in your way of dealing with people. Even if you're telling the truth, others won't be willing to believe you. You have to learn to praise others."
Therefore, Yue Xin's mind was filled with images of her constantly praising others. From the initial stiff praise to the natural praise, in the end, she learned to show her sincerity without leaving a trace. Just now, Yue Xin was very sincere. She knew that if she lied, she would be discovered by this big brother. She could only be sincere with Yue Lingchen. Sincerity was the sure-kill move!
Yue Xin: "Someone told me that people's emotions are not connected. If I can't say it myself, very few people can guess my true thoughts. Brother, I think you're really amazing and I'm very grateful to you, but I've never said it before. That's wrong, so I have to say it out loud now!"
This was the first time Yue Lingchen felt positive emotions related to him from Yue Xin. He was so shocked that he forgot to ask who had told her this. At this moment, he was a little embarrassed. He didn't even dare to look into Yue Xin's sincere eyes. Instead, he turned to Uncle Wang and said, "Send me back to the company first, then send her home."
Uncle Wang replied, "Yes!"
Hearing this, Yue Xin was overjoyed. This was great. She was finally going home to snooze!
Too many things had happened since yesterday. She should be lying comfortably in bed and sleeping. After achieving her goal, Yue Xin relaxed. Only then did she feel the wetness on her butt. She was still wearing the dress covered in red ink!
The car stopped in front of the Yue Corporation. Just as Yue Lingchen was about to get out of the car, he turned around and looked at Yue Xin, who was sitting alone with her head lowered. He suddenly couldn't bear to see her like this. So, he bent down and carried Yue Xin out of the car. He took the initiative to hold her hand. "Follow me today. Uncle Wang, you can drive back first."
