Chapter 880: where was I wrong?

"So what if they are dead?" Lu Yin rolled her eyes, and her tone grew contemptuous. "So what if these women are dead? Why are you making a mess for women like them?"

"Like them?" Lu Yu’s tone grew sombre as he continued looking at Lu Yin, who was becoming more and more like a stranger to him. She was his sister, and yet he realised that he did not even know her anymore. The woman had the same face as his sister, but at the same time, she did not seem like his sister at all. How could a person change so much in such a short span of time?

"Yeah, like them." Lu Yin’s eyes were filled with a hint of contempt. "They are useless and have nothing to do in this world. It is good enough that they can serve these men and live a good life. So what if they died? It is a good thing. It’s better for them to be dead than to stay alive. What are they going to do by living? They will only become a burden on our convoy—"

She was still speaking when the sound of a crisp slap echoed throughout the entire surroundings.

Lu Yin did not understand what was going on at first. All she knew was that her right cheek was burning with a kind of pain that she did not expect. She raised her hand and touched the burning cheek that was getting worse with each passing second. Slowly turning her head to one side, Lu Yin looked at her brother. Soon, what happened settled in her head, and she shouted at the top of her voice, "What ...what do you mean? How can you hit me?" Her brother had never even thought about hurting her throughout these years. And now he actually raised his hand and slapped her? How could he even do such a thing?

"So what if I hit you?" Lu Yu raised his head and glared at Lu Yin fiercely, and this was the first time Lu Yin saw the rage in his eyes. She flinched and stepped back without saying anything further. She had a feeling that something was going to go out of control very soon. Sure enough, a second later, Lu Yu raised his hand and slapped her again, turning her half-swollen face into a full one and causing it to turn symmetrical at once.

His entire face contorted in rage as he stated in a cold voice, "So what if I hit you? Lu Yin, I never knew that you had changed so much. How can you do such a cruel thing? Did you even ask these women if they wanted to survive in such a cruel way? Did you even ask their parents if they were willing to hand their daughters to you? You did not. So what gave you the right to treat them in such a manner? Who are you to decide if they are capable of surviving or not?"

Lu Yin’s face turned red and then blue before settling into a pale one. She looked at her brother as if she was looking at a stranger and cried, "Who are you to judge me? Do you even know how I am surviving in this place and situation? Who do you think you are to look down at me?"

Lu Yin did not see where she went wrong. She did what everyone else was doing. Surviving, and she was willing to do anything to survive. So what if she had to do something cheap and dirty, like making these women serve the men in the convoy? In the end, it was all the fault of her brother. If he had helped her win the heart of Brother Qian, then she would have never run away from the safe base, and she would have never been reduced to the point where she had to become so cruel. Did she like doing it?

Of course not. She derived no pleasure from seeing these women suffer. But she had no choice. She had the arrogance of a young heiress and naturally she would never serve these rough men. So she could only pick someone else to do it. What was wrong with it?

She pushed her brother and said to him, "If you want to blame someone, then you can only blame yourself. You are the one who refused to help me. Why didn’t you ask Brother Qian to love me? To give me a chance? He is so close to you. He would have listened if only you had asked him."

Lu Yu shook his head. It looked like Bai Meiyue was right. It was not that his sister was naive and recently turned cruel and selfish. She was selfish from the very start! It was just that she had never heard any rejection before and got everything from him without any fuss. Because of this very reason, she was calm and collected every time in front of him. But the second she heard him reject what she wanted the most, Lu Yin showed off her true side in front of him.

He pursed his lips and pondered for a while. "Go and bring the corpses. We will bury them in the cemetery in the safe base." He then turned to look at Lu Yin before adding, "As for you, I dare not say anything to you lest you misunderstand me any further."

"How did I misunderstand—"

"Boss Lei is not your damned accessory! You cannot just demand that he loves you. This is not how it works!" Lu Yu could not help but snap when he saw that his sister was still quibbling. He glared at her before adding, "This is something that even a child will understand. I just never expected that you had an IQ less than that of a child."

After he finished speaking, he turned on his feet and marched away with his team. He had no hopes left when it came to his sister anymore.
