Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 495

Chapter 495: Chapter 495: Blame You for Living Too Well

Fang Lai’er never expected Lin Zhiyi, who was as meek as a rabbit back in college, to say such heartless words.

She pressed her lips tightly.

"He’s my own brother!"

"He hasn’t even called me ’sister’ once. What does it have to do with me? Besides... Fang Lai’er, in what capacity are you questioning me? As a roommate? A friend? Or as a backstabbing enemy?"

Lin Zhiyi closed her laptop and looked directly at Fang Lai’er.

Fang Lai’er felt guilty, clenching her hands tightly.

After a moment, she lifted her head and brushed her hair back, revealing the scars on her face completely to Lin Zhiyi.

"I have my hardships."

"Zhiyi, now that you’re backed by the Third Young Master, you lack nothing. But do you know what kind of life I’ve been living these past three years?"

As she spoke, tears rolled down her cheeks.

Fang Lai’er took a deep breath, restraining herself while wiping away the tears, looking both pitiful and miserable.

"After joining the company, the manager targeted me. Whenever I disobeyed him, he would make things difficult for me everywhere, taking advantage of my drunkenness at a group dinner to..."

"Afterward, he threatened me. I wanted to ask my parents for help, but they wouldn’t listen to me at all, only forcing me to get married to exchange for the betrothal gift so that my brother could get married."

"Later, they even wanted me to use this incident to blackmail the manager for money. From that moment on, I knew I couldn’t rely on anyone."

"So I aligned with the manager, desperately working."

At this point, Fang Lai’er grabbed Lin Zhiyi’s hand with a choked voice.

"Zhiyi, I just want to climb up, that’s all. And it was you who gave me money to stay at this company. If it weren’t for your persuasion, I wouldn’t have stayed in Jing City."

"..."

Lin Zhiyi’s heart tightened, staring at Fang Lai’er in shock.

From her face, it was as if she saw the end of her previous life.

Fang Lai’er’s outcome might not be solely caused by her family.

Lin Zhiyi quickly withdrew her hand, her gaze turning icy.

"Fang Lai’er, what about those men you sought later? Was that also because of me?"

"Was it Dazhu who filled your head with nonsense? She thinks she’s clean? Which of them in sales doesn’t have to entertain outside, so much hugging and cuddling at the dinner table!"

Fang Lai’er rushed to explain, her previously pitiful gaze now stained with ferocity.

Lin Zhiyi frowned, saying just one sentence.

"Isn’t what she said true?"

Fang Lai’er’s expression turned rigid.

Lin Zhiyi said in a cold voice, "Then who forced you to find those men later? You’ve always been strong, hardly cried during tough times in college, but now tears come so easily today."

Women who rise by stepping on men aren’t this fragile.

So Fang Lai’er isn’t here to explain; she’s here to play the victim and shirk responsibility.

It seems Fang Jian’s single gesture indeed scared her.

She dared not approach Gong Chen, so she could only find Lin Zhiyi.

Being seen through, the tears in Fang Lai’er’s eyes abruptly dried.

When she looked up again, she seemed like a different person.

"You’ve gotten smarter; it seems you won’t relent and let the Third Young Master spare me."

"Do you think I wanted things to be this way? That fool Shuangshuang, why is she so lucky? The company she was supposed to join went down for fraud, and the boss got locked up."

"Yet she’s thriving in the new company. Do you know what I was doing at that time?"

"I was serving my manager. Every time after, he’d give me a sum of money, which I’d promptly send home at the end of the month, more reliable than a paycheck."

"Later, I was discovered by the manager’s wife and got thrown out. I begged everywhere for a job because I knew I couldn’t go back; returning meant falling into another pit."

"I barely steadied myself, and Fang Jian came along, neglecting his studies, pretending to be grand, even getting into gambling. Even with all this, my parents thought it was my fault, constantly forcing me to fill the holes for him."
