I'm In Love With the Guy I Grew Up With

Chapter 573: Memory Restored

His tears, drop by drop, scaldingly fell onto the back of Dong Yingluo’s hand.

She was momentarily stunned; the pain in her leg forgotten.

Dong Jinseng knelt on the ground, muttering to himself, "The kindest person to me is Xixi..."

Dong Yingluo slapped him across the face, "Snap out of it! I am your biological elder sister!"

A scornful laugh suddenly rang out.

Ji Yebai looked at her coldly and without compassion, "Even your own brother has turned against you, Dong Yingluo. Tell me, was it you who made him attack Xixi?"

"It wasn’t me..." Dong Yingluo cried profusely, "Yebai, we’re friends! My leg... it hurts so much! There’s so much blood. Quick, save me. I’m dying..."

Ji Yebai glanced at her, "Relax, the artery wasn’t hit. Dying might be a bit difficult."

Her heart fell into an ice cellar, "Yebai, as a friend, you’re just watching coldly as I’m injured? Doesn’t your conscience feel any remorse?"

Dong Yingluo said it with such earnestness and sincerity; those unaware might really think Ji Yebai was some great villain.

"Sorry, but my conscience is alive and kicking," Ji Yebai spread his hands, "Stop pretending that you and I are friends. I’ve regained my memory."

His slender, distinct fingers tapped his head.

"Really?" Ning Xixi hugged his arm, her face filled with disbelief.

Ji Yebai ruffled her hair, "These past few days, I’ve mostly remembered everything. Just now after that bump, I pretty much recalled it all."

Ning Xixi’s shiny, lustrous eyes gleamed, "Wow, your head is amazing! If you hit it again, could you get amnesia?"

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—

Several lines of exasperation raced down from Ji Yebai’s head; could her focus be any more bizarre?

"I don’t know about amnesia but it really hurts!"

"..."

Dong Yingluo was already dumbstruck, all the self-injury schemes she had planned were now useless.

Dealing with Ji Yebai who only remembered up to the age of 15, she still had confidence, but with the Ji Yebai who regained his memory, all her ploys would probably be seen through...

She opened her mouth, trying to say something, but Ji Yebai suddenly smiled, cutting off her intended words.

"Still want to take advantage of Dong Jinseng? Dong Yingluo, didn’t I tell you, the person I owe is Dong Jinseng, not you."

He approached and squatted down, glancing at Dong Yingluo’s wound, his eyes filled with disgust, "If I were Dong Jinseng, what I stabbed would definitely not be your leg!"

Dong Yingluo cried pitifully, "Yebai, what are you saying? As a brother injures his sister, are you going to applaud and cheer for him?"

"Heh..." A cold laugh echoed, ice-cold to the bone, "Do you think I haven’t investigated? Over the years, you have been abusing Dong Jinseng, haven’t you?"

Abuse? The word exploded in Ning Xixi’s mind.

The wounds on Dong Jinseng’s body... shrinking into a corner trembling at the slightest provocation... frequently going hungry...

Connecting all these together, the truth slowly unveiled itself.

It turned out that not only was he truly abused, but the person who abused him was his own biological elder sister!

Dong Yingluo stubbornly denied it, "I didn’t abuse my brother! This is slander, surely someone is framing me, they want to tarnish my image in your eyes..."

Her eyes fleetingly landed on Ning Xixi, full of implications.

Ning Xixi was genuinely impressed; even in such a state, Dong Yingluo didn’t forget to throw mud on her, truly a deep-seated love!

Ji Yebai swept a mocking glance towards Dong Yingluo—

"You played your part well, but, did you think I wouldn’t know, that the car accident from years ago wasn’t an accident at all, but a trap you meticulously planned!"
