Haicheng

Hotel

Haichenli looked at the man lying beside her for a moment, stunned.

Qin Junze?

Why would I be lying in bed with my future brother-in-law?

It came back to me, I used to work part-time with my bestie in a restaurant. For some reason, I suddenly fainted. When I woke up again, I found myself lying here, and Qin Junze was still lying beside me.

Hai Qianli glanced at her halter top and ultra-short skirt, a bad premonition rising in her chest. Her phone was also nowhere to be found.

Haitang Li didn't dare to stay long. She put on her shoes and left. Just as she opened the door, reporters who had been lurking at the entrance rushed in, catching her completely off guard.

"Miss Hai, you called to tell us, do you want to expose your affair with your brother-in-law?"

"I didn't call to inform you."

The reporter pulled out his phone from his pocket and dialed up the latest call log. The top number was unmistakably Hai Qianli's.

Hai Qianli shook her head, "No, I didn't call the reporter. I don't even know where my phone is."

At this time, Qin Junze, lying in bed, slowly turned awake, "How did I get here?"

Seeing this, a reporter seized the opportunity and rushed over, "Grandpa Qin, this is a hotel. You're in a room alone with Miss Hai. What are you doing?"

Qin Junze sat up, his eyes filled with disgust. "How could I possibly do anything to that shameless person."

Have no shame?

These five words pierced Hai Qianli's heart deeply. She still remembered when Qin Junze was a child, he always treated her as his beloved sister, with warmth and kindness to the extreme. But ever since she lost her title as the eldest miss of the Hai family, he became someone who had no shame at all.

Qin Junze looked down at the empty bed, and suddenly remembered something. He angrily pointed at Hai Qianli and shouted, "Hai Qianli, you sent me a text message saying Yun was drunk in the hotel and asked me to pick her up. Who knew that as soon as I arrived, someone knocked me unconscious! Tell me, what did you do to me?"

Hai Qianli listened to the groundless accusations, instinctively refuting, "I didn't text you."

Qin Junze took out his mobile phone, found the text message, and without hesitation smashed the phone onto Hai Qianli's forehead.

"Take a good look at me."

"Ah—"

A sharp pain shot across her forehead, followed by a wave of heat that snaked down.

The vibrant, bewitching red captivated Hai Qianli's gaze.

Haitang looked at the cold and indifferent man, the pain in her heart was a hundred times worse than the headache.

It should have been understood that the moment he was exposed to the world, Brother Qin Junze in my heart had died.

The reporter picked up the phone from the ground and compared the phone number in the address book. He confirmed that both the text message and the call were from Hai Qianli, making the watch even more intriguing.

"Miss Hai, what were you trying to achieve with this scene today?"

"Aren't you hating yourself for returning to normalcy because your sister returned to the sea clan, so you took revenge by stealing a man?"

"I never thought you'd be someone who doesn't understand gratitude."

"You said that, I suddenly remembered something. Four years ago, the news broke about your fake heiress scandal. To stay in the Hai family, you actually drove your biological parents out of Haishi. Is this true?"

"No."

"If it's not true, then why do you continue to stay in the Hai family and not return to your own biological family?"

That year's events did happen, but I promised Yun that I wouldn't tell anyone else.

Just as she was speaking, Haiyun arrived.

Hai Qianli's eyes lit up, "Yun, you…"

Slap—

A resounding slap echoed through the air, landing squarely on Hai Qianli's cheek. Her slender body crashed onto the bed with a thud, her pale complexion rapidly swelling, a streak of crimson bleeding from the corner of her mouth.

"Unbelievably, he looked at Haiyun, "Haiyun, don't you believe me?"

Hai Yun said with pain in her voice, "Sister, I want to believe you too, but there's so much evidence. How can I possibly believe you?"

Hai Qianli explained, "I was framed."

Deep down, Hai Qianli always felt that someone was secretly orchestrating all of this.

The design makes the explanation look more like an excuse.

"Were you framed? Well, I'll ask you this, do you truly not like Brother Junze?"

"I…" Hai Qianli was speechless.

Qin Hai's two families had arranged a marriage for them when they were young, and she had always considered Qin Junze her future husband. How could she not like him?

Four years ago, Hai's family suddenly told her that she wasn't their biological daughter and had been swapped at birth. Naturally, the marriage arrangements fell to Hai Yun, Hai's true biological daughter.

Fearing a struggle with Haiyun, he conceded the marriage.

It's okay not to fight, but I don't want to deny it.

"Haha..."

Hai Yun accepted Hai Qianli's answer and suddenly smiled, a sorrowful and desolate smile. "Sister, over twenty years ago, there was an accident that swapped our fates. I was afraid you would feel the difference, so I let it go, not competing with you, not vying with you."

"If you like Junze, you can tell me, I'll give him to you. But why did you say you didn't like him before, and now on our engagement day, you do this to embarrass me?"

Haitang stared blankly at Haiyun. She had conceded, so why was Haiyun saying it like this?

Qin Junze felt even more sympathy for Haiyun. He held her tenderly, "Yun, I belong to you, and I will only be with you in this life. I wouldn't even lift a finger for that despicable person."

"I'll take you to get a marriage license right now. Let's get married."

Qin Junze walked to the door and told the reporters, "Please report today's news truthfully."

He glared at Hai Qianli, “I want Hai Qianli to be disgraced!”

Haichuan Li Tong Bing Liang.

……

Late at night.

Hai Qianli walked alone, dazed and lost, on the deserted and desolate streets.

The whole thing is filthy, with a stench that pervades the air.

The family announced the news of severing ties in front of everyone. Journalists exposed "evil deeds". No matter where they went, people threw rotten eggs and vegetables at them. Only under the protection of darkness could they walk freely.

On the large display screen on the street, the shadow of Hai Mu appeared, devoid of her former warmth, accusing Hai Qian Li's 'evil deeds' with disgust.

"The last thing I regret in my life is that the moment the truth was revealed four years ago, I didn't return Hai Qianli to her biological parents."

"Before Qianli, she was a kind and gentle child. I thought we sisters could get along harmoniously, but ever since Yun came home, things changed. She became very strange."

The Sea Mother sadly lowered her eyelids, "At home, she arranges the clouds. Outside, she vies for fame and fortune, and to stay in the Sea Clan forever, she even resorted to driving away her own parents."

"Now, they are even trying to destroy my son's lifelong happiness. I feel I can no longer continue to tolerate this."
