"We came to buy clothes!" Zhao Yuxin admitted openly.
"Yulu, is this your twin sister?" Chen Guanglei asked.
"Yes!" Zhao Yulu nodded.
"Then he's your sister's husband!" Chen Guanglei smiled.
"Exactly! He's my husband, Xu Yang!"
Before Zhao Yulu could say anything, Zhao Yuxin stepped forward, intimately linking her arm with Xu Yang's, nodding happily.
"Ah... Sister, you guys are..." Zhao Yulu was instantly stunned. She thought, 'What the heck? How did my ex-boyfriend become my sister's husband?'
"This is a joke, right? How can you two be together?" Zhao Yulu asked. She became extremely angry once she realized the situation.
"Why can't we be together? You and Xu Yang have broken up, and I openly confessed to him after you two ended things. Xu Yang agreed as well!" Zhao Yuxin straightforwardly stated.
"You... You two..."
Furious, Zhao Yulu was left speechless, unable to retort. She cursed in her mind, 'This is so ridiculously melodramatic! Who could accept this?'
"Oh my!"
Beside them, Chen Guanglei's mouth hung open, showing his astonishment. At the same time, his gaze towards Xu Yang was filled with envy and jealousy.
'Damn it, this guy is incredibly lucky! He had both sisters! I'm the wealthy second-generation here, so why do I feel so pitiful all of a sudden?' Chen Guanglei thought.
Customers and store employees nearby couldn't help but widen their eyes and were left dumbfounded by the scene.
"Damn, this guy is way too lucky."
"Damn it, he's been with both sisters! I want to worship him and get some luck from him!"
"Comparison is the thief of joy. I've been single since the day I was born while he enjoyed spending time with the sisters."
"Outrageous! How did this guy, who dresses so shabbily, manage this? I don't believe it!"
"He's handsome! In this era, looks are everything! Can't help it."
For a moment, the gossiping crowd began discussing fervently.
"Zhao Yuxin, you're my sister! How could you be with my ex?" Zhao Yulu exclaimed in anger.
"Why not? I've already explained it, and besides, are we breaking any laws by being together?" Zhao Yuxin responded fearlessly, counter-questioning.
"You..." Zhao Yulu stared with frustration but found herself unable to argue.
With an uncharacteristic assertiveness, Zhao Yuxin spoke, "Yulu, I know you prefer the wealthy and look down on Xu Yang. I tried to persuade you when you were considering breaking up. If you had listened to me then, I would have hidden my feelings for Xu Yang deeply and not interfered with you. But you insisted on breaking up. You treated him like trash, yet he's precious to me. Why can't we be together? Xu Yang and I are legally married. Now, he's not only my husband but also your brother-in-law."
"What? You... You're married?" Zhao Yulu was stunned once again. She thought, 'Is this some kind of joke? We broke up just last night, and today he's already my sister's husband?'
"That's right!" Zhao Yuxin nodded, smiling. "If it weren't for the marriage certificate being at home, I'd show it to you. Also, I've organized your clothes left in Xu Yang's apartment. Whenever you're free, you can come and take them back! From today, it's mine and Xu Yang's home!"
Zhao Yulu was left speechless, not knowing how to respond.
As for Xu Yang, he remained silent. After all, it was Zhao Yulu who insisted on the breakup. He didn't owe her anything. Now, Zhao Yuxin was his wife.
"Honey, I'll go change my clothes now!" Zhao Yuxin, not in the mood to explain further, informed Xu Yang and headed to change her clothes.
"Xu Yang, how could you be with my sister..." Zhao Yulu's anger flared again as she directed her frustration at Xu Yang.
"Why not?" Xu Yang coldly interrupted Zhao Yulu. "Yuxin has already explained it clearly. I don't want to waste more words on this. We're together, and that's it."
"You..."
Zhao Yulu's chest heaved in anger. She suddenly began to doubt whether breaking up with Xu Yang was the right decision.
'No! I'm not wrong! Everyone has the right to pursue a better life. Why can't I? Xu Yang is from out of town, and his family isn't well-off. Sure, he's good-looking, but that's only suitable for puppy love! When faced with real life, what can looks do? Can they buy a Ferrari? Can they buy a villa? Can they afford designer brands? The answer is no! So, leaving Xu Yang was definitely the right decision!' Zhao Yulu thought.
Thinking about that, Zhao Yulu stopped arguing and simply turned around to leave. While Chen Guanglei squinted his eyes and followed her.
Outside the mall, Chen Guanglei said, "Yulu, Xu Yang is just a scumbag taking advantage of you. There's no need to be angry about him."
"I don't want to hear about this anymore!" Zhao Yulu waved her hand dismissively, her tone icy.
At that moment, Chen Guanglei's eyes lit up as he said, "Okay, let's not talk about him. I've got some exciting news! My family has a certain standing in Jaster City. We recently obtained insider information from the business world. The market value of Obsidian Tech is likely to skyrocket. Investing in their stocks is a guaranteed profit."
"Really?" Zhao Yulu's eyes brightened immediately.
"Absolutely!" Chen Guanglei confirmed with a smile. "But I don't have much money right now..."
Thinking about that, Zhao Yulu's gaze dimmed. Though she had graduated and had a job, she was still living paycheck to paycheck. Furthermore, when she was with Xu Yang, she often relied on his salary to get by.
As for Zhao Yulu's mom, she didn't have much savings. And although Zhao Yulu's stepfather had money, he rarely supported her and her mother financially. He only occasionally spent some money to keep up appearances in their relationship. After all, he had a son.
"There are always more solutions than difficulties! Borrow a bit from friends and relatives. After all, it's a surefire investment, so you won't have trouble repaying. Plus, this is an extremely rare opportunity." Chen Guanglei reminded.
"You're right! I'll figure something out," Zhao Yulu nodded.
Due to the earlier incident, Zhao Yulu had lost interest in shopping. She left the mall with Chen Guanglei shortly after.
Back in the clothing store in the mall, Zhao Yuxin didn't see Zhao Yulu after putting away the clothes. She asked, "Where's Yulu?"
"She left!" Xu Yang said.
Zhao Yuxin obediently linked her arm with Xu Yang's and said, "Then let's go home too!"
