Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 976

Chapter 976: Crispy Potato ( 3 )
Chen Jianyan’s eyes lit up when she heard her brother’s words, thinking that her brother was no longer angry with her, she took a step forward. Unfortunately, her hopes were dashed by what her brother said next.

“Because you are not my sister, I don’t care what you did or what happened to you,” Chen Jianmin added with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, not only Chen Jianyan was shocked, but also Chen Jianbai and Chen Jianguo couldn’t help but open their eyes wide in shock.

Chen Jianguo looked at Chen Jianyan worriedly and tried to help her, “Brother–”

He only said one word and saw Chen Jianmin looking at him coldly. Seeing his cold gaze, he could only shut up.

He knew that his brother was standing up for him and he also took this opportunity to give Chen Jianyan a lesson. But he couldn’t help but feel sorry for the little girl and wanted to protect her.

Chen Jianmin looked at his brothers and said with raised eyebrows, “What are you two doing standing there? Go home now.”

Hearing this, Chen Jianbai nodded quickly and took his second brother away. He didn’t dare to delay, fearing that he would be roasted into a crispy potato by his eldest brother.

When leaving, Chen Jianguo couldn’t help but look back worriedly at every step he took. He knew that Chen Jianmin and Gou Dan were different.

He is kind, loving, and protective to his own people, but ruthless and cruel to his enemies. If Chen Jianyan violates his bottom line, she may really be disowned by her brother. If that happens, the little girl will definitely not survive!

Despite Chen Jianguo’s concerns and random thoughts, Chen Jianmin is not a person who would abandon his family easily. He would never abandon his sister unless she did something unforgivable.

He stood in front of his sister, waiting for her without saying a word. Fifteen minutes later, Chen Jianyan finally stopped crying and looked at her brother with red and swollen eyes.

The two looked at each other but no one said a word. After a while, Chen Jianyan finally opened her trembling lips and said hoarsely, “Brother, I’m sorry. I won’t do this again. I promise you, I will change my ways.”

“You promised me before. But what happened? Not only did you insist on having your own way, you even became more arrogant, ungrateful, and unreasonable. Is this what you call changing your ways?”

“I, I…”

Chen Jianyan looked confused when she heard this. She lowered her head and said nothing. It was exactly what her brother said. She apologized, but she didn’t think she had done anything wrong. Therefore, she didn’t know what she should change or how she should change it.

Seeing her like this, Chen Jianmin was disappointed with his sister and turned around. As soon as he took a step, the closed door was opened and Dong Li walked out.

“Dong Li, why did you come out?” Chen Jianmin asked embarrassedly.

When he faced his friend, he already felt inferior. Seeing his sister like this, he felt even more inferior than before. Compared with Dong Huang, his sister couldn’t even pick up her shoes.

Dong Li glanced at his friend without saying anything to him. Instead, he walked up to Chen Jianyan and squatted down in front of her.

When he saw her swollen cheeks and eyes, he put a cold towel on her swollen face and asked, “Xiao Yan, do you know why your brother is so angry with you?”

Feeling the coolness on her cheeks, Chen Jianyan shook her head and nodded again.

Knowing that she actually didn’t understand her mistake, Dong Li patted her head gently and said, “Then do you think you did something wrong?”

This time, the little girl shook her head and said, “I didn’t do anything wrong.”

“So, do you think it’s right to snatch other people’s things and hit them because they don’t like you?” he asked.

Seeing that she was silent and frowning, Dong Li added, “Then what’s the difference between you and Gou Dan? You have seen how people treat him. Do you want to be like him?”

“But isn’t it always the strong who make the rules?” she asked.

“If I follow your idea, can I take away your things and beat you for no reason?” Dong Li asked.

“No!”

Hearing her refusal, Dong Li smiled and said, “Look, you don’t want me, who is stronger than you, to treat you like this. So, why do you treat others like this? Aren’t you being unreasonable? You can do it but others can’t do it?”

“Xiao Yan, there is no fairness in this world, and there is no clear right or wrong. We all live in a gray area, and there is only a thin line between right and wrong.”

“When you feel that the world is unfair, you should not blame others for your own incompetence. Although we have family members who can protect us, they have no obligation to do so and they couldn’t do so for the rest of our lives.”

“They protect us because they love us. But feelings need to be cultivated. When you take people for granted like you do now, people will get tired of you, soon they will leave you, and eventually, no one will help or protect you.”

Although Chen Jianyan didn’t understand everything Dong Li said to her, she still understood half of it. She glanced at her brother and found that he was looking at her indifferently.

Panic and uneasiness surged in her heart. She looked at Dong Li and asked, “Brother Dong Li, I don’t want that to happen. What should I do?”

Dong Li rubbed her hair and said, “Xiao Yan, even if you feel embarrassed, you must admit your mistakes and correct them. Learn how to be grateful and considerate of your family. When you receive kindness from others, you should express the same to those who are less fortunate than you.”
