Chapter 1113: Chapter 1112: True Colors Chapter 1113: Chapter 1112: True Colors “Little brother, do you think your sister knows how smart you are?”

Jiang Yang shrunk back a bit, unconsciously increasing the distance between himself and Zhuanzhuan.

“I bet she has no idea.” Among the three siblings, Sister Nan Fei really was the least cunning. Ever since she was little, she’d made her likes and dislikes too apparent, with her thoughts clear as day. Although she had mysteriously become wiser since last year, the nature within hadn’t changed.

She always treated people with a sincere heart.

And she had a fatal flaw: she cared too much for her family and friends.

How ludicrous it was.

For the past six months, she had watched with open eyes as her sister struggled in suspicion and pain. Even though her heart harbored doubts, she had to deceive herself, convincing herself to trust her.

It wasn’t fun anymore with sister like this.

Jiang Yang’s hands on the table clasped together tightly, his fair little face already void of warmth. He listened to Zhuanzhuan’s words, his expression growing colder, and his heart filled with revulsion.

He disliked Zhuanzhuan’s tone and demeanor, and even more so the way she talked about Sister Nan Fei.

“You should tell the truth to Sister.”

“No!” Jiang Yang suddenly spoke up, the young boy suddenly showing a stubborn demeanor.

“What do you mean?” Zhuanzhuan was taken aback, unable to maintain her smile any longer.

“You want to control everything, you want to watch Sister Nan Fei suffer, right?” Jiang Yang bravely met Zhuanzhuan’s gaze, sympathy and pity flooding his eyes. “You won’t get the chance!”

“You–” Zhuanzhuan’s face suddenly changed, her fingers clenched and then released. Eventually, all emotion vanished, and she reverted to being that gentle, kind, and somewhat introverted girl.

“Don’t think you understand me. No one can stop what I want to do.” A radiant smile blossomed on her lips. “There are plenty of ways to make Nan Fei suffer, such as… killing you, killing Dad, killing Mom, killing Grandma…”

Jiang Yang shivered.

“Ha ha ha…” Zhuanzhuan couldn’t help but laugh, “just these would be enough to make her wish she was dead. And if Huo Bei Jiang were to abandon her, that would definitely be the last straw that broke the camel’s back. What do you think will happen to her? Loved ones gone, forsaken by all, in utter despair. By then, no amount of adjectives would be able to describe Sister Nan Fei’s pain, right?”

Jiang Yang looked at her incredulously, as if seeing a complete stranger for the first time.

He’d grown up with Zhuanzhuan since childhood, but today was the first time he truly understood her.

How… how could she be so terrifying?

“But don’t worry.” Zhuanzhuan’s comforting pat on Jiang Yang’s shoulder made his slender shoulders seem as if they couldn’t bear the weight of her hand, trembling helplessly.

“From the moment you didn’t die, I changed my mind. I won’t hurt you guys, because you are my family! Towards family, we should be tolerant. Right?”

Jiang Yang forced out a word through gritted teeth, “Right!” He regretted it; had he known it would come to this, he should have told Sister Nan Fei the truth about how he fell into the river the moment he regained consciousness.

If he had known, he shouldn’t have remained silent for the sake of protecting Sister Nan Fei.

But… if he had spoken, it would only have caused Sister Nan Fei pain and trouble!

Jiang Yang’s frail shoulders drooped powerlessly, his heart a tangled web of unprecedented conflict and difficulty.

“Such a good boy!” Zhuanzhuan smiled in satisfaction.

Leng Tianqi had been quietly looking at the menu the whole time, wishing she could bolt but not daring to flee, reducing her presence to the lowest.

Oh God! What had she just heard?

Were these words even spoken by a human?

Every time she thought of Zhuanzhuan’s smiling, considerate face as she spoke to her own little brother, she felt terrified to death.
