CHAPTER 354: UNHAPPY REUNION

In a hospital VIP room, Du Yueying was having a tantrum, throwing the food the nurse had brought her. Du Di opened the door and saw the scene. Du Yueying’s shoulders shrank, and she immediately became a delicate little flower, with tears streaming down her face, looking pitiful.

"What are you doing?" Du Di said with displeasure, looking at the nurse who was trembling with fear. He gestured for her to clean up and leave.

Du Yueying said piteously, "The hospital food is too terrible, brother. Why are you only coming to see me now? Jingnan said you arrived last night."

Du Di walked over, pulled a chair, and sat down. He looked at Du Yueying’s injured hand and frowned slightly. Du Yueying’s eyes turned red. "Brother, you have to get revenge for me. I want to sue him until his reputation is ruined."

"Yueying, I’m not going to pursue this. I’ll arrange for you to be transferred to a hospital in America tomorrow to recover from your injuries," Du Di said coldly. Du Yueying was furious. He gave her a sharp, electric gaze. "Don’t think I don’t know what you did. If you hadn’t hit her first, would she have hit you?"

"I... I only slapped that woman twice. He slapped me, threw me, and broke my arm. How can I possibly get over this?" Du Yueying said angrily. "Brother, I’m your sister. If you don’t help me, who will? I don’t care. You have to get justice for me. If you don’t want to mess with the Ye family, at least get rid of that woman for me."

Looking at his domineering sister, Du Di didn’t get angry, as if he was used to her behavior. He sneered coldly. "How do you want to get rid of her?"

"She stole my qipao and made me so miserable. I can’t let her go. I’m going to ruin her face and sell her to the Middle East as a prostitute."

"Stop!" Du Di shouted. His voice was neither loud nor soft, but it had a frightening authority. The entire room filled with a chill. Du Yueying’s face turned pale, and tears fell.

Du Di’s face was as cold as water. "Your parents are well-educated and gentle. How could they have a daughter like you?"

Du Yueying’s face was pale, and she looked at Du Di in fear. "Brother..."

Du Di’s expression softened a little. "I told you to rein in your temper a long time ago. What did you do? You hit someone over a qipao and trampled on her dignity. Where did you put our family’s rules? You deserved to be hit today. You still want to teach someone a lesson?"

"Brother, you can’t just let me get hit for no reason," Du Yueying said, crying sadly. "This is the first time I’ve ever been hit. And I was hit so badly. You’re my brother. Not only do you not help me, but you also yell at me. I’m going to tell Grandpa."

Du Di’s face darkened. He turned and walked away. Du Yueying quickly pulled the IV needle out of her arm and got out of bed. She wrapped one arm around Du Di from behind. "Brother, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. Don’t be mad, okay? I won’t tell Grandpa. I won’t pursue this anymore. Please don’t be mad at me?"

Du Yueying’s voice was as gentle as someone coaxing a sulking lover, as if she was afraid that if Du Di got angry, he would ignore her. Her face was filled with panic, and she hugged him tighter, completely ignoring the pain in her arm.

Du Di’s brow turned cold. "Let go!"

"No, I won’t. I won’t. Brother, don’t leave me." Du Yueying begged, crying. "I promise I’ll be good. I won’t have a temper anymore. I won’t hit people anymore. Please don’t be mad, okay? Yueying will be a good girl. Please don’t be mad."

"Yueying, let go!" Du Di was unmoved. He said each word very clearly. Du Yueying froze and slowly let go. Whenever he spoke so slowly, she knew that he was very displeased.

She and Du Di grew up together, but she rarely received his affection. He was always distant from everyone, not too far but not too close either, except for his parents and the old master. When she was a child, the happiest thing for her was when Du Di smiled at her. She would be happy for a whole day. Later, as she grew up, Du Di smiled less and became more and more distant. With his personality, she thought he would never fall in love. No one would ever get close to him.

No one could take her brother away from her.

A while ago, her brother suddenly became obsessed with a movie called *Beauty of the Nation*. She found it very strange. Du Di barely watched movies. He preferred musicals and operas. He never watched commercial movies, but he watched this one several times. She saw him do it a few times and thought he must have watched it many more times behind her back.

She also went to watch the movie. She didn’t find anything special about it. Even the main character didn’t stand out to her. It wasn’t her type. But one time, she overheard Jingnan mention that her brother had met the female lead of the movie once in A City and had even helped her out. Her heart became nervous. She looked at the cast list and saw the woman’s name was Wen Nuan.

Later, Fei Ling called her and said that the qipao had been bought by Ye Feimo for his woman. She was furious. She asked who the woman was, and it turned out to be Wen Nuan. She had come back to the country specifically to see who this Wen Nuan was, who could make her brother fall for her. Of course, she didn’t dare to tell Du Di this reason and could only use the qipao as an excuse.

She didn’t want anyone to take her brother away from her. He was hers alone. Whoever dared to try had to die.

"Don’t let it happen again," Du Di said calmly. Du Yueying clenched her fists and kept her head down, not saying a word. She was sure that her brother was treating her this way because of that woman named Wen Nuan.

In the past, she had also caused trouble, but her brother would always clean up after her. If someone bullied her, her brother would make that person wish they were dead. But this time, he didn’t care about her.

It had to be that Wen Nuan.

She would not let that woman go. She was just an actress, and she belonged to another man. She should not have captured her brother’s heart.

"Did you hear me?"

"I heard you," Du Yueying answered softly. Du Di pushed the door open and left, followed closely by Jingnan. Du Yueying’s face was twisted with jealousy.

### The Lawsuit Ends

Wen Nuan had been worried that Ye Feimo would be sued, but she hadn’t heard any news about it. The newspaper just published stories about Ye Feimo hitting someone, and the tone was very unpleasant. Since it was at the airport and he hit a woman, many people saw it. They didn’t know the reason, so of course, Ye Feimo was at a disadvantage, and public opinion was one-sided.

His actions were considered ungentlemanly. In the eyes of their country, it was always wrong for a man to hit a woman, no matter the reason.

The image of Anning Corporation was damaged, and the public relations team was in a crisis.

Ye Feimo could handle all of this, so Wen Nuan wasn’t too worried. The lawsuit was a big deal, but it eventually died down without a sound. Ye Feimo said that the matter was over, and Wen Nuan’s heart settled down.
