I'm Not Going to Be Bullied By a Girl

Ai ShuQiao did not seem surprised when I cut into their conversation.

“You were eavesdropping the entire time, eh? Disobedient brat... Whatever, the core of the problem lies with you anyway.”

“I told you to scram... did you hear me?” I felt like my head was boiling from anger.

My dad was still in his study room holding the receiver while persuading me hesitantly: “Don’t speak to your mother like that....”

“I don’t recognize her as my mother!” I screamed, “Someone like her has no right to become a mother!”

“Calm down, calm down.” Ai ShuQiao was not the least bit affected by my rage. Her tone of voice was ordinary as if she was discussing plans with a business partner.

“Don’t misunderstand, I never wanted to be your mother. You weren’t intended, it was only because the condom broke... As far as I’m concerned, you’re an unplanned item that doesn’t peak my interests at all.”

“Shu Qiao, that’s....” My dad swallowed his words and could not say anything else.

Ai ShuQiao seemed pleased after she dealt a psychological blow to my dad. She would probably be even happier if I cried out too as someone who was abandoned.

But I was only filled with anger, an endless amount of anger.

She actually even started to help me analyze the pros and cons without any shame:

“Please don’t let your emotions make your decisions. Think carefully, you will never make that amount of money in the rest of your lives!”

“What benefits would there be if you make me into an enemy? If you make the wrong choice, you might not be able to live a plain and ordinary life anymore.”

“Do you believe you would receive more benefits if you revealed the relationship to her? Don’t forget that I’m her manager! Her power in the entertainment circle was bestowed to her by me, she can’t do anything by herself if she leaves me! Also, do you think it would be good for her if she suddenly had a brother who wanted to use her to get rich?”

“Ai ShuQiao, are you done?” I could not find a more suitable way to call her.

“If you’re done speaking, it’s my turn.”

“Didn’t you say I didn’t peak your interests? That’s perfect because I have no interest in you either. Regardless of whether it was you or your money. So PLEASE do not disturb us anymore. I really enjoy my daily life and I would not make any changes because of your threats.”

“The matter with Ai Mi remains the same. Other than the fact that I now know I’m her brother, I won’t change how I act towards her —— in any case, she is still considered to be a part of my daily life.”

“But Ai ShuQiao, you’re not included... You have no relations in my daily life, and I would definitely not want you to be a part of my daily life. Seeing as you are my sister’s manager, I did what you said and gave you my decision while calm. Are you satisfied?”

The sound of a fountain pen being tossed on an office table was transmitted through the phone.

Ai ShuQiao began to laugh in a quiet voice.

“I never thought you would be raised as such an insolent brat! Did you think you would infuriate me by trying to act like an adult? But, you expressed your determination to reject me very well, I understand now.”

“It’s fine even if I told you. I was actually willing to pay $5 million USD. If you guys agreed, it means you could be bribed. I would then enter negotiations to reduce the expense. For example, I would remove $1 million for every 500km closer you moved to DongShan city —— I can’t play that fun game anymore.”

So you were testing us? To see how much money it takes for your ex-husband and son to lower themselves? If I thought about it carefully, China does not even span 4000km wide on a map! If you wanted us to move 4000 km away from DongShan city, do you want us to move to India?

Although it is not impossible to turn India into a Chinese territory (at least it would reduce the amount of rape cases), it is not the time to talk about that.

“Ye... Lin? I can never remember your name, but since you declined my generous offer, then that means your daily life has come to an end.”

“You could go to Ai Mi as usual. You could even reveal the truth to her. But you better be ready to accept the consequences.”

“What consequences?” I said like a wild animal, “Are you saying you’re going to hire a professional hitman to take care of me and my dad?”

I thought of Peng TouSi once I mentioned professional hitman. Would he ruthlessly kill me if his master gave the order? Then would he sink our bodies in DongShan Lake? It does not seem like a realistic scenario.

“Professional hitman?” Ai ShuQiao sneered, “A kid will always be a kid, they always take things to the extreme. You guys are not that dangerous and not even worth getting my hands dirty. I don’t even need to use my connections. All I have to do is say a few lines and there will naturally be people to take care of you in DongShan city.”

“You guys will soon no longer be able to live in DongShan city. I hope at that time you guys will make a sensible decision and move away. Feel free to contact me if you have any financial problems, but there will be penalties for not accepting my offer the first time. I would at most give you guys $500,000 USD and you can live the rest of your lives in regret.”

I wanted to hang up the phone angrily, but the other side took the lead, and the electrical static sounded like an explosion and it hurt my ears.

My dad seemed to have also hung up. After being apart for 14 years, it took all his effort to speak with Ai ShuQiao. I could even imagine the dismay in his heart right now.

Maybe because it was a switched connection, even though Ai ShuQiao had hung up, the connection between Peng TouSi was not cut off yet.

“....Lin, please don’t put it to mind. There are many turning points in a person’s fate.”

Turning points? What turning points? A turning point like you becoming a professional hitman and coming for my head right now?

“...Because I did not report it earlier even though I knew the situation, so Madam Ai ShuQiao is sending me back to America for further instructions. I could only use 004 and 005 instead of me to protect Miss Ai Mi. You should already know that Miss Ai Mi often does not play by the rules, and 004 and 005 is also limited in their abilities. Please take care of her if possible.”

004 and 005? The two guys who experienced Xiao Qin’s ‘ball buster‘ technique? They definitely do not seem reliable. If Xiao Qin wanted to kidnap Ai Mi, she would have already succeeded.

She would send Peng TouSi back to America simply because he knew something? Did Peng TouSi even know anything? Does he need to report that Ai Mi made a friend who was not bribed by her mother?

“Lin, I’m very sorry. I actually already knew that you and Miss Ai Mi are blood-related siblings.”

Huh? Wh- What did you say? When did you find out?

“A few days after you and Miss Ai Mi met, I sent people to investigate your background. You should know about the stalker problem in America, so I did not want the same thing to happen in China.”

“I never thought I would start investigating Madam Ai ShuQiao after following the clues... I originally thought this was a chance God gave to Madam Ai ShuQiao for redemption, but Madam Ai ShuQiao did not accept God’s favor. I feel that it’s very regrettable.”

“In order to be sure, I used one of the fruit seeds you spat out to test for DNA. The lab results are locked in a cabinet in my office, and it proves that you and Miss Ai Mi are indeed siblings.”

“In short, I won’t be by your side for a while. Please take good care of yourself.”

Take care of myself my ass! Why did you not tell me if you already knew we were siblings! I even want to give you a few kicks myself! You should have told me we were siblings when she stayed over at my house! I can’t believe you even spouted some bullshit about not being a good match! How would I face my elders if I was not able to hold back and pushed down my own sister!

“Um... I was not lying about not being a good match. Also, these days, even being siblings might not be enough to control yourself. I have to catch an early flight so I can’t speak with you anymore. I hope you won’t change your attitude towards Miss Ai Mi because of this complicated half-sister relationship —— and don’t hate her.”

After Peng TouSi’s reminder, I was suddenly aware that the relationship between me and Ai Mi had a subtle change compared to the past.

Since the conversation with Ai ShuQiao made me too angry, I did not have the spare time to think about how my feelings towards Ai Mi have changed.

Why would I hate her?
