Chapter 38 (2/2)

“If you’re so good at it, why don’t you try to stay at home and go nowhere else?”

“It’s much better than being laughed at!” Mu Yunhai could not see his reputation being ruined. He wanted to be on top of everybody else. If his reputation was ruined, the public would gossip about him even if he managed to be on top of everyone else.

That was not what he wanted. Moreover, he would never run away overseas!

“I don’t care! I cannot take it anymore! If you don’t want me to hold a press conference, settle the issue for me! I can do nothing now! My elder brother won’t listen to me!” Wang Yunxi sounded so careless.

Mu Yunhai was silent for a moment. “Didn’t you say that you won’t ever do that even if you’re going to die? If you’re really going to die, will your brother still force you to do what you hate?”

“What do you mean?” Wang Yunxi frowned.

Lu Man finished preparing the dinner. They had just sat down to dinner when two unwelcome guests came to visit them.

They were Wang Yunxi and Mu Yunhai.

The kitchen was not separated and they could clearly enjoy the delicious smell of the meal.

Mu Yunhai looked at Lu Man. That moment once belonged to them. Now, it belonged to someone else.

Mu Yunhai felt that he was killing himself slowly. Clearly, he could endure the sight of Lu Man being with Pei Xiuyuan. But, he still wanted to meet her.

Lu Man was uneasy when she saw him.

They were intimate once. Now, there were some other people by their sides.

A tall man approached them. He blocked their views. Pei Xiuyuan looked at Wang Yunxi and asked calmly, “Why did you come at this hour?”

Wang Yunxi said nothing but took out a fruit knife and put it close to her neck.

Lu Man was shocked by her sudden act. What did she want?

“What are you doing?” Pei Xiuyuan remained calm. He stared at Wang Yunxi coldly.

She soon became frightened.

“Brother, I don’t want to hold a press conference! If you force me, I’ll commit suicide in front of you!” She needed to continue her acting no matter what happened.

Pei Xiuyuan stood there without any intention to stop her. He smiled a little. “Fine. go ahead and die in front of me.”

The three of them were so shocked when they heard what Pei Xiuyuan said.

“Brother, what are you saying?” Wang Yunxi could not believe what she heard. She felt that she must have heard it wrongly. Her elder brother would never treat her like that. He had adored her since she was young. He was the one who adored her the most in the entire world! He would not allow her to cry even a little in the past. When did he become so harsh toward her?

“Didn’t you say that you’re going to kill yourself?” Pei Xiuyuan remained calm. He was stern. He never allowed anyone to threaten him, not even his younger sister could do that to her.

Moreover, what would become of her if she was forgiven just like that?

He could adore her. He would risk everything for her even if she wanted to take a trip to space. But, he could not spoil her like that!

Wang Yunxi suddenly burst into tears. Her tears came down fast and strong. “You’re not my elder brother. He would never treat me like that…”

She said that a lot recently. He was not like the elder brother she used to know anymore after being with Lu Man.

It hurt Pei Xiuyuan to see Wang Yunxi like that. He could not help but softened his voice. “I adore you but it doesn’t mean that I’ll spoil you. You have made a mistake but you don’t know that you were wrong. You haven’t even apologized sincerely. You have even tricked me and threatened me. No one dares to threaten me.”

“I…” Wang Yunxi wanted to argue but she did not know what else to say.

“Put down your knife and get ready for the press conference.”

“I don’t want to!”

“Then, go ahead and slash yourself!”
