I very much wanted to thank his whole family!

His long and slender fingers were like flicking cotton as he peeled the prawn nimbly. The glistening, translucent prawn meat was indeed tempting.

Under everyone’s gaze, he put the prawn in my bowl.

Jiang Yu’s gentle face was full of worry. She looked at Fu Hansheng and said meekly, “Sister is allergic to seafood. We only added two dishes today because I came back.”

Fu Hansheng did not care about the kind reminder and the vague grievance.

In his mind, even if I’m poisoned to death on that day, I would still have to show him some face.

He glanced at me, then said, “She’s been cured of her allergies for a while.”

What?

Why didn’t I know!

He continued to laugh so hard it was sickening. With one hand, he brushed the hair from the side of my ear to the back of it. Then, he whispered into it. “Eat it.”

Only I could hear this threat.

I could only play along.

I nodded. “I’m cured.”

After that, I picked up the prawn meat and put it into my mouth.

Jiang Yu knitted her brows and wanted to say something, but she didn’t.

I was distracted throughout dinner. Only when it ended did I realize there was something wrong with Fu Hansheng that night. He had never displayed his affection for me.

But why did it happen on that night?

I was full of doubts. I increasingly felt that Fu Hansheng was a mysterious and unpredictable person.

He was like an unsolved enigma.

After dinner, my dad pulled Fu Hansheng along and made some small talk.

I gave the excuse of going to the bathroom to check on my allergies in my room.

Just that someone followed behind me the moment I’d pushed the door open.

It was Jiang Yu.

I heard her voice. “I’m dating someone now. Soon, we will organize an engagement ceremony. Remember to attend it with brother-in-law.”

Brother-in-law.

She gritted her teeth as she said those 3 words as if she was hinting at something.

I turned around. Under the light, Jiang Yu’s skin was fair, and her facial features were delicate. She had the demeanor of a noble young lady. Unfortunately, her illegitimacy had ruined her.

And she had almost destroyed this family.

“You know what? I was the one who forced Dad to send you out of the country.” I pursed my lips and shot her a mocking gaze.

“Father is a son-in-law who lives in his wife’s parents’ home. Not only does he not dote on Mother more, he even brought back an illegitimate daughter while having affairs outside. My mother is kind and pitied you. She was willing to accept you, but you better remember your identity at all times.”

I purposely reminded her.

Jiang Yu’s existence was so annoying.
