The Stubborn Love of 1995

Jin Yulian was instantly terrified. "A Feng, you must not reveal the truth no matter what. Please for my sake."

I said, "Sister Yulian, what are you afraid of? Sister Yun told me that in your situation, it might be probation, at most sentenced to half a year or a year. Sister Yulian, don't worry. Even if you go in, I will still love you."

Jin Yulian smiled bitterly. "A Feng, do you really not understand my heart? After my parents passed away, I only have this one close brother left. As the older sister, I am like a mother to him. All his wrongs are my failure in raising him since childhood. I bear an inescapable responsibility. Now, the company our parents left for us siblings is on the verge of bankruptcy, so my brother wants this property, and I am willing to give it all to him."

I thought to myself, that bastard Jin Baoqiang has such a good sister but doesn't cherish her. If I had such an older sister, I would be willing to protect her with my life. Alas, fate is truly too unfair.

Suddenly, I recalled Sister Li, wondering if she would love me like Jin Yulian loves her brother. But upon second thought, Sister Li is not my biological sister, and we didn't grow up together from childhood, so her feelings for me are undoubtedly far less than Jin Yulian's for Jin Baoqiang.

Seeing me remain silent, Jin Yulian said, "A Feng, no matter what, you must not let my brother go to prison. This is the only thing an older sister can do to help him."

I couldn't help but say, "Sister Yulian, did you forget his attitude towards you just now?"

Jin Yulian sighed tearfully, "A Feng, he can betray me, but I cannot betray him. Otherwise, I would feel guilty for the rest of my life."

I helplessly replied, "Sister Yulian, spoiling a child is like killing them. You are harming him, not helping him."

Jin Yulian said, "A Feng, I've thought it through now. I will only help him with this one matter. I won't help him with anything else anymore."

I said, "This is a serious legal issue. We were both wrong back then, and we cannot make the same mistake again."

Jin Yulian stubbornly insisted, "I did indeed make a mistake back then, but now reversing the case is futile. Alas, if I cannot even help him with this, then I have no right to be his sister."

I shook my head. "Sister Yulian, you treat him as a brother, but he does not treat you as a sister."

Jin Yulian said, "My brother was not always like this since childhood. When he was young, he once protected me, and he was injured protecting me... When my mother was on her deathbed, I promised her I would take good care of my brother. If my brother really goes to prison, how can I face my deceased mother?"

I felt a heavy heart. In Jin Yulian's heart, her brother is the worst, but more precious than herself. She is the ultimate brother-protecting demon.

Seeing me silent for a long time, Jin Yulian suddenly knelt before me. "A Feng, please for my sake. As long as you don't reveal the truth from back then, Sister Yun cannot reverse the case, and my brother won't go to prison."

I hurriedly helped her up. "Sister Yulian, you don't want to lose your brother! I don't want to lose you either. Now your company is on the verge of bankruptcy, and you're preparing to marry Qian Duobao. Have you thought about my feelings?"

Jin Yulian said, "A Feng, I already said it, my heart belongs to you. If you want my body, I can give it to you tonight."

I smiled bitterly. "Sister Yulian, I want our many years of affection. If I get your body like this, it means nothing."

Jin Yulian said, "Then what do you want? What do you want me to do?"

I said, "Simply, I want you to marry me openly and aboveboard."

Jin Yulian smiled bitterly. "My company is already on the verge of bankruptcy. Only Qian family's money can save it. I can only choose to marry him. The Shanghai company has already incurred a ten-thousand-dollar breach of contract fine! Your Sister Li is already powerless. Do you have any other good ideas?"

I said, "Sister Yulian, I still want to try."

Jin Yulian smiled bitterly. "A Feng, don't be stubborn. If you want my body, I can give it to you now. Also, I've already given you a house. As long as you don't fall into ruin, you can definitely marry a good girl. Forget me!"

I stubbornly said, "I can't forget you, just like you can't abandon your bastard brother."

Jin Yulian sighed. "A Feng, in fact, I'm not worthy of your love. I'm just a very selfish woman. Back then, to save my brother, I deceived you into going to jail. I've done illegal things."

I said, "Back then, I was willing. I didn't blame you."

Jin Yulian said again, "A Feng, don't be stubborn. I'm really a bad woman, a lustful bad woman! Now I've already agreed to marry Qian Duobao, but in my heart I still want to have an affair with you. If you really marry me, aren't you afraid I'll give you a green hat?"

I was slightly startled.

Jin Yulian continued, "A Feng, if you really like me, treat me as your lover or plaything. You must not marry me as your wife. I cannot guarantee lifelong fidelity to you."

I said, "Sister Yulian, love needs no reason. If you're really a lustful woman, I will still love you. Because you are my goddess from childhood. In my most desperate times as a child, it was your care that gave me hope to live on."

Jin Yulian said, "Fine! Since I can't persuade you, since you like me so much, I'll ask you for this one thing. Please don't refuse."

I said, "Sister Yulian, rest assured! My promise to you will not change."

Hearing this, Jin Yulian let out a long breath, and her whole body collapsed in my arms.

I picked her up. "Sister Yulian, it's getting late now. I'll carry you to bed to rest. Rest assured! Maybe after a night, you will have hope."

Jin Yulian smiled bitterly. "I don't dare to hope for much. But no matter what, tomorrow I have to handle all the procedures with my brother, or I might really implicate him."

I smiled. "Sister Yulian, maybe a miracle will happen tomorrow."

Jin Yulian was absent-mindedly said, "What miracle? Can you borrow a hundred million? Alas! Even if you borrow a hundred million, it's just patching up. If you can't repay by then, you'll go bankrupt anyway."

I smiled. "I really have a hundred million, but I don't want to give it to you now. When you become my bride, I'll give it to you on that night."

Jin Yulian blushed. "You bad guy, when is this? You still want to joke with me like this."

I said, "Since you don't like this joke, I'll recite a poem for you."

If life deceives you, do not be sad, and do not be upset!

For in the days of sadness you must learn to be calm.

Believe, joy will come! Your heart will dream of the future;

Now it is always sad for you.

Everything passes, everything will pass,

And that which has passed will become a beautiful longing.
