Chapter 821: Siblings Falling Out (1)

Zhao Youming’s body trembled, and his eyes widened in shock. After a long while, he stammered out a sentence, “Why? Why? We’re siblings?”

“Why? That’s for you to find out. Yes, we’re siblings, blood-related siblings. But do you really treat me as your blood-related sister?”

Zhao Youming could not help but feel a little guilty, but he still said stubbornly, “I... Of course...”

“Don’t tell me anything that I shouldn’t. Even if you did, I wouldn’t believe you. After what happened to Mom, do you think I would still believe you?”

Suddenly hearing Zhao Youxi mention Li Hongyu, Zhao Youming’s body trembled. His face could not help but reveal some panic. “I... I know that you are blaming me for what happened to Mom. You are blaming me for not being able to save mom from prison. But in that situation, there was nothing I could do! Even if you really hate it, you shouldn’t hate me. You should hate the culprit who led mom to prison. You should hate them!”

Zhao Youxi watched Zhao Youming struggle on the ground expressionlessly. After a long while, she sneered. She could not tell if she was helpless or disappointed. “You’re still not willing to spill the truth out.”

“The truth? What truth?”

“Of course, it’s the truth that you killed your mom with your own hands.”

The truth that Zhao Youlin suddenly said stunned everyone present, except for Zhao Youxi.

Zhao Youming killed his mom with his own hands? Didn’t Zhao Youming’s mom commit suicide? Could it be...

Zhao Youming’s face turned paler and paler. It took him a long time to react. He shouted loudly, “Liar! She’s lying! She killed Mom! She killed her! She lied to you to sow discord between us! She’s lying to you, sister!”

“Lying? I’ve never told anyone about this before. Do you think your sister will believe me? But now you can ask her if she’s willing to believe what you said.”

Zhao Youming trembled again when he heard that. He looked up at Zhao Youxi with anticipation. He tried to use the blood bond between the two of them to increase his chances of winning. “Sister, you believe me, right? You believe me, right? Sister, we’re biological siblings. Mom is our biological mother. How could I do such a terrible thing? Trust me, trust me!”

Zhao Youming used his uninjured hand to grab Zhao Youxi’s pant leg tightly, hoping that she would believe him and stand on his side again.

Unfortunately, Zhao Youxi had already seen through him. When she saw that he still remained remorseless, she even pulled her leg out from under his hand. She sneered and said, “So you know precisely how terrible it is to kill your biological mother. I thought psychopaths like you had lost your heart long ago and would not understand such things at all.”

Zhao Youming’s face changed, and he felt the wounds on his body become more and more painful. He weakly called out, “Sister...”

“Don’t call me sister! I have nothing to do with you since the day you killed Mom!”

Zhao Youming’s face turned pale. He really didn’t understand what had gone wrong. He had deliberately sent Zhao Youxi away at that time, so how could she know? How did she know?

Zhao Youming’s face turned green and white, white and green. It was so wonderful that Zhao Youxi could easily see what he was thinking. She sneered and said, “You sent me out of the room at that time, didn’t you? How did I know about this?”

The thought in his heart was suddenly exposed, and even Zhao Youming couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed.

Zhao Youxi laughed mockingly. “Zhao Youming, you really think too highly of me. It’s true that I was a little confused about the situation, but I’m not stupid. There were only two people who saw mom that day. You and me. She... She was still... still talking to us with hope when I saw her, asking us to find a way to get her out. But she committed suicide the moment we left. Heh, although my mother hired a murderer to hurt someone, she didn’t kill anyone. At most, she would be locked up for a few years and would be out soon. How... how could she be so stubborn? How could someone like my mother be so stubborn? How could she bear to... how could she bear to leave me and you? It must be... it must be that you said something to her.”

“I didn’t...” Zhao Youming defended himself, unwilling to give up.

“You didn’t?” Zhao Youxi smiled coldly, “Do you dare to say that you’re not worried that once mom is convicted, you’ll be branded as the son of a murderer? Are you unhappy? Do you dare to say that you’re not worried that because of mom, other people, especially grandfather, will treat you differently? That way, you won’t be able to enter the Zhao Group, and you won’t be able to get the wealth and glory that you want? Do you dare to say it? Do you dare to say it?”

Zhao Youxi’s aggressive words caused Zhao Youming to freeze for a moment. A moment later, Zhao Youming suddenly seemed to have thought of something and laughed softly.

“Dare to say it? Of course, I dare to say it. That’s right, you guessed it right. I’m just worried, I just mind! Son of a murderer, do you know how much this title will make me lose? Wealth, fame, and status. Not only this title, but also the title of an illegitimate child. Do you know how much I hate it? If I could, I would rather she had never given birth to me. In that case, at least I’m an innocent person. I wouldn’t have needed to suffer so many people’s disdainful gazes at birth. I wouldn’t have needed to receive so many unfair things from childhood. Do you know how much I hate it when people talk about how I’m an illegitimate child behind my back? Do you know how much I wanted to kill Zhao Yifei every time that b*stard called me a b*stard in front of me? All of this... all of this is because of that woman. If it wasn’t for her... If it wasn’t for her...”

“Enough!” Zhao Youxi finally couldn’t help but interrupt Zhao Youming’s words loudly. She had always known that Zhao Youming was prejudiced against their mom, however, she never expected that Zhao Youming would have such an image of Li Hongyu in his heart.

In his eyes, their mom caused all his misfortunes. However, did he not think that the reason why he could get so many things now was all thanks to their mom? If it weren’t for their mom... How could they have been born into such a family? Although it was not glorious, at least they did not have to worry about food and clothing. At least he had more opportunities than anyone else. If it weren’t for the Zhao family... even if Zhao Youming could really get into a foreign school, the steep tuition fees were not something he could afford. Their mom gave everything to him!
