Grievances

Yin Jia looked at Cheng Che with a fervent gaze as she said, "That's why the future of the Yin family depends on you, Yin Xing, or Cheng Che. Even if you're Cheng Che, you're the Yin family's only hope for the future."0

Cheng Che remained indifferent. "I'm not interested."

Yin Jia frowned. "What does this have to do with your interest? This is your responsibility! I won't ask you to return for my sake, but what about Mom? Mom was innocent! Those people killed her! Shouldn't you seek justice for her?"

Yin Jia's breathing quickened as she spoke.

Cheng Che, who had received a load of information all at once, felt like his heart was in a mess. Nonetheless, he held onto his principles. He said, "I have nothing to do with the Yin family. You're my sister so we can have some contact. However, I'm not going back to the Yin family."

Yin Jia stood up angrily with a loud bang and said, "I've been talking for so long? Have you not been listening?"

Cheng Che nodded, "I have. However, I don't think it has anything to do with me. I'm sorry, but I can't put myself in your shoes. I hope you can understand."

"You!" Yin Jia was about to explode. When she calmed down, she said with a sorrowful expression, "Do you know what kind of life I'd been living all these years? If Grandpa did not think I'm the Yin family's lucky star, do you think I'd be able to survive up until now in such a complicated family?"

"At the beginning, that old witch tried to get rid of me using all kinds of means. She even wanted to send me to a temple! She said since I was the family's lucky star, I'd bring more luck to the family at the temple than at home. Fortunately, Miss Guan just married into the family at that time and was fighting with that old witch. Miss Guan wanted to be a model stepmother so she opposed that old witch and let me stay. Do you know how hard it was for me to live between those two women?"

"I was frightened every day and night. Frightened that if there were problems with the family business, I'd no longer be able to use the label of 'lucky star' anymore. Since I was young, I had been good at reading people's expressions. Do you know why? Whether it was grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, and their children, I couldn't afford to offend any of them!"

Cheng Che felt sad for Yin Jia when he heard her sorrow-laden words. He did not deny that he, his sister, and his mother were the most innocent ones and became victims of the chaotic battle. The instigators seemed to have achieved their goals while the three of them were separated forever.

"Sister," Cheng Che called out softly.

Yin Jia trembled slightly upon hearing this. She looked at him excitedly and grabbed his hand as she said, "Brother! Yin Xing, no, Cheng Che!"

Yin Jia was incoherent with delight.

Cheng Che could not help but sigh. Then, he asked gently, "Sister, are you willing to leave the Yin family and live with me?"

Yin Jia was stunned.

Cheng Che said seriously, "I haven't saved much over the years, but I've never touched the inheritance that Grandma left me. If you leave the Yin family, we can live together and make up for 28 years of regrets. Leave those disputes behind us. What do you think?"
