Chapter 446: Don’t Tell My Brother

Translator: Yunyi Editor: Yunyi

“Xiao Qi, would you rather your brother ignore me for life than to help me?”

“My brother really likes Sister Yu. If I help you, my brother will ignore me for life instead.”

After saying this, Jiang Qi turned around and left.

But, as soon as she turned into one of the corridors, she saw a tall, strong man standing in front of her.

Jiang Qi immediately stopped in her tracks.

Wearing a beige trench coat and light grey pants, the man looked clean and gentle against the backdrop of the snowy night. Yet, he made Jiang Qi turn pale in fear.

She held her breath and walked forward slowly as she called out with care, “Master Handsome.”

But, He Shigui did not say a word. He simply walked her back to the courtyard.

This made Jiang Qi even more uneasy. So, as soon as they entered the house, Jiang Qi finally summoned the courage and asked, “Did you hear everything?”

“I heard a little. I can roughly guess the situation,” He Shigui replied calmly.

“Can you please not tell Sister Yu?” Jiang Qi pleaded.

He Shigui did not agree. He simply asked, “What is she threatening you with?”

“Why should I tell you? Just know that if you tell Sister Yu about my matter, then I will tell her that you like her. If Sister Yu finds out, she will definitely stop treating you as good as she does now,” the woman threatened sharply.

He Shigui’s expression immediately turned sour.

This elegant man was cold and threatening.

Jiang Qi was so scared, she retreated two steps and her body trembled in a slightly helpless and desperate state. She moved her lips to say something, but nothing came out.

Tears began to form in her eyes. She blinked and suddenly started crying, “I already rejected her. Please don’t tell anyone about it. I beg of you.”

She didn’t want anyone to know about this matter and think of her as a bad person.

Looking at the slender woman, He Shigui’s cold eyes slowly softened. “I simply wanted to see if I could help you resolve this matter,” he said lightly.

Jiang Qi stared at him, wondering if he was telling the truth.

The man in front of her was mature, reliable, and refined like jade. One felt particularly safe around him. Since he already knew the gist of the matter, it didn’t make any difference to tell him the entire story.

Jiang Qi blushed shyly and explained, “From a young age, my brother and I have not had a good relationship. My brother used to prefer another younger sister over me, but she later passed away. After she was gone, my brother missed her. The most precious thing to him were some albums of photos that he took with her. But, I was clearly his sister, yet he didn’t pay attention to me. So, out of jealousy, I quietly threw all those albums into the swimming pool...”

Back then, Gu Shuling was the one that provoked her to do it. She thought they were just a few albums and it wouldn’t matter.

But, her brother ended up jumping into the pool. He couldn’t swim, but he risked his life just to get those albums back.

The albums soaked in the water for too long and the photos were destroyed. She couldn’t believe the pain and despair that her brother went through. It shocked her and made her extremely uneasy.

She thought they were just a few albums, but her brother saw them as something that was important than his own life.

He Shigui looked at her suspiciously and asked, “So, what was she threatening you to do?”

“She wants me to help her pursue my brother,” Jiang Qi replied as she lowered her head timidly. “But I will never help her. Never!” she said as she quickly shook her head.
