About my hopeless brother and sister

I'm sorry I got the wrong idea, although I can't think about such a serious occasion, I've been smothered by posting. But the thought was only a fleeting one, for I knew that what was to be said next was my future. A future that I myself would have been completely unaware of, and in this moment, it would be certain.

I knew that my struggle might not be of much use, but I just wanted to know what it really meant for me. I wanted to know what my uncle was trying to say. I wanted to know if this could still be turned around, and even though I didn't think it was possible anymore, I still wanted to try.

"Well, in that case, let's just say it. Qin Feng, this way, Qin Lan, and Lin Yiran, you choose one. It doesn't matter, forget it, I'll just have more. Qin Lan, Lin Yiran, Wu Moxi, Song Yixin, these four girls, you choose one of them. I'll give you an engagement and guarantee your future."

Qin Lan and Lin Yiran looked at each other, then looked at me together.

I acted a mouthful of spit and looked at my uncle, my brain couldn't react, what is this to me, is this the emperor's selection meeting?

"No...I just don't understand why...I don't understand why I have to choose between them..."

"So you're saying you don't like any of them?"

"Neither..."

Well, I don't know what to say myself, my uncle has already logically blocked me out.

"Then, you pick one. Qin Lan and Lin Yiran I think you should choose the most, these two are both good for you and for me. Then, I'll let you leave the country or stay here, it's up to you to choose, I'll support you unconditionally."

"What about sister?"

I asked the most critical question directly.

My uncle looked at me and said softly, "I'll take it."

"I refuse."

If the basis of a negotiation is that two people have something they can talk about, then at this point we were out of it, and there was an argument in the most critical and unconcessional area.

I can't let my sister go, uncle is taking her away.

Uncle's mouth had a hint of a sneer on it, he looked at me, moved his finger and said, "Didn't you say that there was no relationship between you, then Qin Feng can you give me a suitable reason why you are unwilling to let your sister leave? Where Rhyme goes has something to do with you but not that much, it's not like Rhyme and you won't see each other forever, if you're a normal sister and brother, it shouldn't matter if you're apart for a while."

My sister looked at me and didn't say anything.

"I...no...that...no...my sister and I are not That kind of relationship! Uncle, why do you always bite on this point! You don't have any proof!"

Uncle looked at me, sighed, and said, "Qin Feng, forget it, you don't need to struggle, and I won't pretend to be a good guy. Let's put it this way, do you still remember that event you attended? It's the event with you two in Lin Yiran. You actually don't see a problem with that?"

"What's the problem?"

I looked at Lin Yiran, who lowered his head and didn't look at me. Lin Yiran, who was always confident, suddenly did this, and I felt my heart tug at it.

My uncle looked at me and said seriously, "Lin Yiran isn't appearing as an assistant, she's your fiancée! In other words, you brought your own fiancée to the event! Everyone at that event knew that you and Lin Yiran were engaged!"

"Sorry! I'm sorry, Qin Feng! I... I don't... I just... I just... couldn't resist... ...I...I..."

Lin Yiran raised his head sharply and looked at me pleading, "I...I don't mean any harm...I'm not forcing you...just ...it's just...I wanted to attend an event together as your fiancée...I...I Don't want to threaten you with that, really! Really! Qin Feng... I... I..."

I took a deep breath and slumped into my chair.

Why...?

Why...?

Why...?

Lin Yiran, no, tell me....

Chapter 213 about my excruciating nightmare.

How much I've been through this one night.

How much I've lost.

I've been betrayed by someone I thought liked me, and no, if you think about it, that's not betrayal. It was just a setup for me? Is this specifically designed for me? I didn't know about this, I don't know, was this something my uncle and Lin Yiran had discussed or was it a sudden idea?

I don't know, but I'm not really interested in how they planned it right now, because my brain can't process that much information anymore. I know it's not exactly a betrayal, but as I look at Lin Yiran's horrified face, I just see a million "betrayals."

Betrayal! Traitor! Traitor! Traitor! Traitor! Traitor! Traitor! Traitor! Traitor! Traitor! Traitor! Traitor! Traitor! Traitor! Traitor! Traitor! Traitor! Traitor! Traitor! Traitor! Traitor! Traitor! Traitor! Traitor! Traitor! Traitor! Traitor! Traitor! Traitor! Traitor! Traitor! Traitor! Traitor! Traitor! Traitor! Traitor!

"No, no, no, Qin Feng really! Really! I really didn't try to lie to you in the first place! It's just...it's just that after I saw the name on the invitation, I...I didn't hold back...I didn't Hold back on telling you...I really, really didn't mean to threaten you with that, really! Really!"

Lin Yiran's tears flowed as she pleaded, she looked around at everyone in despair, but the people around her were Qin Lan and her sister, both of whom were looking at her with different eyes and weren't going to help her speak. Lin Yiran almost fell to her knees, holding onto her clothes in a death grip and apologizing.

"........"

I took a deep breath, what was I feeling right now? Is it anger? Still sad, I can't tell myself, I feel like my brain has processed too many emotions, I've already been through more emotions this night than I have in a month, the horror of what I've just done has taken all my strength away, and now, despite my painful feelings, I don't have the strength to be angry, I don't even, have the strength to say harsh words.

"This matter doesn't matter, no matter what Lin Yiran thinks, now Qin Feng your relationship with Lin Yiran is sitting on the fence. I know you might be reluctant right now, but you won't let Lin Yiran be abandoned by you in front of everyone, will you."

Uncle looked at me, crossed his arms, and said, "Lin Yiran has done so much for you, I think you should return the favor, but if you still choose to avoid Lin Yiran and even want Lin Yiran to be humiliated in front of everyone, how are you going to face Lin Yiran in the future?"

"Wouldn't that mean that I didn't have a choice in the first place..."

"You have a choice, you can choose Qin Lan ah, we can then say that the engagement is off, it won't affect anything. But if you said you didn't choose anyone else but unilaterally dumped Lin Yiran, I'm sure public opinion will point to Lin Yiran, how are you going to explain that a dutiful fiancée was dumped through no fault of her own? If you don't explain, then there will be rumors about you or Lin Yiran, how will Lin Yiran explain?"

My uncle looked at me with contempt and anticipation, what was he expecting? Was he expecting me to nod, or was he waiting for me to finally give up and then end this evening's farce, neither he nor I wanted this evening to continue, we had seen the most unwatchable sight of each other, and tonight was a nightmare for all of us.

"This matter is not my brother's fault, why is this Lin Yiran's own fault to hold my brother responsible?!"

My sister finally stepped forward, she looked at my uncle and I, then she gently pressed her hand on Lin Yiran's head and gently stroked it, which should be considered a sign that she would protect Lin Yiran. My sister was shocked for a moment but has now recovered.

"Do you really think this is Lin Yiran's fault?"

His uncle's eyes moved to his sister's face and he looked at her as he continued, "Isn't the first thing you do when you get an invitation is to look at the name and address? I didn't give the invitation directly to Lin Yiran, it was Qin Feng himself who didn't even read it but gave it directly to Lin Yiran, besides, he should know what Lin Yiran's relationship with him is outside, the fact that he refused to get engaged to Lin Yiran before wasn't made public, this was caused by Qin Feng's own carelessness, can you blame Lin Yiran for not telling him?"

"Lin Yiran should tell his brother who he is!"

"Should I really? Lin Yiran was under no obligation to tell Qin Feng that he was attending as Qin Feng's fiancée, and you guys didn't ask Lin Yiran what it meant for him to tell you! Lin Yiran was only trying to help Qin Feng adapt to this environment and help him, she was at most unannounced, but it was still the consequence of Qin Feng himself not even looking at the invitation!"

My uncle looked at me, smirked, and said, "Isn't that cruel? Isn't that a bit unreasonable? Then I'm really sorry that this is the world you'll have to face, no one in this world will be gentle with you, no one in this world is obligated to inform you of everything, and if you want to not be deceived, don't just leave everything to someone else! Lin Yiran didn't lie to you, she just didn't inform you that this is what I'm now using as a bargaining chip to trade with you, so, Qin Feng, what can you use to make me change my mind? How can you change the current stalemate?"

Me, I really can't help it.

It was more of a trial than a transaction. My uncle was only thinking about my sentencing, and my role was simply how I could commute my sentence. But even if I can't commute my sentence I can't do it, I can't find anything at all that will solve the present. What can I do? What do I have to show to make uncle give in?

"I...I can't change..."

I clenched my fists, I had no strength left, and my anger could not burn as strength. But reluctance, utter and complete reluctance, can burn away the last of my strength and courage. I'm truly unhappy, unhappy that I've been playing right into the palm of these people's hands, unhappy, unhappy, unhappy!

I thought I was free, but in reality I was just moving around inside my cage, thinking I was doing everything by my own choice, when in fact, I wasn't, these were all designed for me by someone else! Other people still had the collar, and if I tried to resist, they would take me back again. I thought I was always free, but in reality, my freedom was given to me by others.

Unhappy! Reluctantly! Reluctantly! Reluctantly! Reluctantly! Reluctantly! Reluctantly! Reluctantly! Reluctantly! Reluctantly! Reluctantly! Reluctantly! Reluctantly! Reluctantly! Reluctantly! Reluctantly! Reluctantly! Reluctantly! Reluctantly! Reluctantly! Reluctantly! Reluctantly! Reluctantly! Reluctantly! Reluctantly! Reluctantly! Reluctantly! Reluctantly! Reluctantly! Reluctantly! Reluctantly! Reluctantly! Unhappy!!!!!

I'm....not happy about it!!!!

"So, then we can end it. Qin Feng, you'll have to prepare for your engagement to Lin Yiran, and you'll be able to stay together from now on. Although I'm sorry about this, it's not Qin Lan's fault, but it's not Qin Feng's or Lin Yiran's fault, so if you want to blame it, you can only complain that your random identity isn't quite right."
