Chapter 941: A Gift or a Sin

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Goosebumps had started to emerge from Zheng Yan’s body as she started to complain out loud.

As Nian Xiaomu cast a smiley glance at her, she remembered that she had just been provoked by Tao Yunyun and did not have the heart to throw her a second blow.

She pulled Yu Yuehan and walked out of the shopping mall.

Then, she told Yu Yuehan about everything that had just happened.

However, she skipped the part where she stared fixedly at Mo Yongheng…

When they got into the car, Nian Xiaomu could not help it and turned around to take a glance at Zheng Yan. She was a little hesitant to inquire about Zheng Yan’s younger brother.

She seemed a little reluctant to talk about it…

Forget it.

Just when Nian Xiaomu was about to give up on his plan, Zheng Yan had turned around to look at her.

“Ask whatever is on your mind. My reputation has already been tarnished by my useless younger brother and I am no longer afraid of anything. However, if he was thinking that he could steady his position as the heir of the Zheng Family by slandering me, I have only got two words to say to him: Dream on!”

“…”

Zheng Yan was still her usual self—she was the only one who could lash out at others.

It was almost impossible to imagine who could have the power to let her suffer a loss.

However, Nian Xiaomu still detected a tinge of sadness in her voice even though she had successfully lashed out at her younger brother.

Nian Xiaomu raised her head and noticed that her eyes looked a little sad. Stunned, she gave her a loving hug.

Zheng Yan reached out to casually wipe the tears off the corner of her eyes and let out two chilly laughs.

“It’s so funny, right? Aren’t my family members supposed to be my pillar of protection and step up to protect me when I am bullied by others? But why isn’t my family like that?”

“…”

“I’ll be honest with you, my mother passed away not long after I was born. My father was busy with his work and I used to stay at home alone by myself when I was young. At that time, I was very envious of the sibling duo residing at the unit next door as they would play with each other every day. I used to think that if I had a younger brother, I would definitely shower him with lots of love. I would have given him everything, including my toys, my candies, and my pocket money.”

Zheng Yan narrowed her eyes and a self-mocking look appeared beneath her eyes.

“One day, my father suddenly brought a mother and son duo home and he said that they would be my mother and younger brother in the future. I only knew then that my father had formed a family outside of my home for the past few years after my mother had passed away. Afraid that I would be unhappy about it, he had been delaying the matter and did not bring them home. That was the first time I met my younger brother, he was very small in size and looked extremely obedient. You don’t know how happy I was back then…”

At that time, she thought that the heavens had sent her a younger brother because they had heard her prayers.

They were four years apart.

Zheng Yan had already known then that Zheng Hao was merely her half-brother who shared the same father.

Despite so, she was still elated.

She would share everything with her younger brother, to the extent that she would reject something just so he could have it.

This was because she felt that her younger brother was a gift to her from God and that he was sent over to accompany her as her mother in heaven and He was afraid that she would be lonely.

Her younger days were very carefree.

Her petite younger brother loved to follow her around and call her “sister” in a crisp voice.

Then gradually they grew up.

She started to work in the family company.

All of a sudden, many rumors of her were spreading in the company for no reason.

Rumor had it that she had managed to clinch the collaboration deals because she had entertained her clients over drinks.

And that she was a promiscuous woman who slept around.

In the more exaggerated rumors, she was even said to be someone who drank heavily and took illegal drugs…

There were numerous rumors about her.

She had caused an uproar then and her reputation was tarnished.

Even her father especially found the time to talk to her about this matter.
