Never would she have expected that at the end of the investigation, she would find out that the person who had spread the rumor was the little brother she had doted on since she was young…

To say she was fuming with rage at the moment was more than appropriate.

After all, she was young and could not control herself, so she went straight to confront Zheng Hao about it.

She had originally thought she would be able to see his guilty look.

On the way, she was even imagining if there could be some misunderstanding.

Perhaps, he had felt a tinge of regret after spreading that rumor…

Yet, she did not receive any explanation or a word of apology.

All she received was cold sarcasm and complete denial from him.

“We don’t have the same mother, so in front of me, don’t act as if we have a deep sibling bond between us. I only feel disgusted by it! Don’t think that I don’t know that you genuinely don’t like me at all. You’re just putting on an act to please Father so that he’ll hand over the Zheng Corporation to you. Dream on! I’m the only son of the Zheng Family. Whoever dares to snatch the company from me, I’ll never let him or her off!

She was in complete disbelief.

It was hard for her to imagine that cowardly little fellow who used to like following her and calling her “Sister”, suddenly turning into this state.

She wanted to defend herself but realized that he did not believe a word she had said.

Or rather, in Zheng Hao’s heart, unless this sister of his disappeared, she would always pose as a stumbling block to him.

After all, their father doted on her dearly and did not even dare to have him and his mother to live with them when they were young, all for her sake.

“I thought I had gained a surprise in my life. Little did I know that when I grew up, it was all actually a sin. It’s all life, you can’t escape it.”

Zheng Yan blinked her eyes, forcing a smile.

She had never thought of taking over the Zheng Corporation.

The only reason she had entered the company was that she felt that her father was working too hard, and she wanted to help him out.

But, it never occurred to her that because of this, it would trigger the sensitive feelings of that duo of mother and son.

After thrashing things out, Zheng Hao had turned even more reckless in his slandering towards her…

“Didn’t you tell your father about it?” Nian Xiaomu asked as she placed her hand in hers, full of heartache for her.

Zheng Yan replied in a mocking tone, “No. Even if I did, my brother wouldn’t admit it. He would probably play the blame game and say that I’m accusing him of snatching the family business. Zheng Hao has always been very obedient in front of my father and me. It’s not just my father who won’t believe that he would do something wicked, I, myself would not have believed it if I hadn’t heard him admit it himself.”

Moreover, she did not want to make her father worry.

“Don’t worry, he’s just a useless fellow. If people compliment him a little, he gets arrogant. With that bit of capability, I could easily have him dead with my fingers. I wouldn’t possibly take what he did to heart. Look at how he’s slandered me for so many years, but aren’t I still doing well and fine?!”

“…”

What Zheng Yan said made sense to her.

Since it was hard for an outsider like her to interfere in their family matter, Nian Xiaomu could not comment much either.

But, there was this one thing she was concerned about…

Nian Xiaomu asked, “Why do I think that the fact that your brother has turned into this state is more or less because of your stepmother? Aren’t you afraid that this mother and son will join forces and make your father leave all his assets to them, then proceed to kick you out of the household?”

Zheng Yan couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

She reached out and grabbed hold of Nian Xiaomu’s face, stroking her cheeks enthusiastically. “Xiao Mumu, why are you so adorable? I’m about to fall for you any moment!”

“…”

Zheng Yan went on, “Do you think this is a television drama? I’m my father’s biological daughter. When I let out a cry when I was young, he would anxiously hug me the whole night just to soothe me, even sacrificing his own sleep. Even if that mother and son carry out any plot, my father won’t actually just ignore me because of that!”
