C3 Domineering

"I..."

Lee Zhengren felt an immense pressure as he was intently scrutinized by the other party. The weight of knowing that her status towered above his own was crushing.

Tang Ziye was nothing short of a national idol, a goddess among mortals. Her suitors alone were leagues beyond him, not to mention her own formidable presence. He was baffled as to how someone of her stature could possibly know Su Chen, let alone claim to be his sister.

He was aware that Su Chen hailed from a rural area and had never mentioned having a sister. And their surnames were different: one was Su, the other Tang.

"Smack!"

A crisp slap resounded.

It came from Tang Ziye.

"How dare you strike me?"

Lee Zhengren's face contorted with indignation.

Despite recognizing her superior status, the sting of the slap to his face was a blow to his pride.

"This is outrageous!"

Clutching his cheek, Lee Zhengren's voice quivered with emotion.

He was seething with anger.

Tang Ziye looked on with utter contempt.

"That slap was on behalf of my brother. You have no right to insult him!" Tang Ziye's tone was unapologetically harsh.

"What? You're the Third Miss Tang?" Lee Zhengren shuddered, his expression one of profound shock.

It was as if her identity had struck him with a thunderbolt.

Lin Yushen, standing nearby, seemed equally bewildered.

Su Chen was just a country boy, and Lin Yushen and her mother were well-acquainted with his humble origins.

They were clueless about the true status of Su Chen's so-called sister.

But in that moment, Lee Zhengren's legs buckled.

He nearly collapsed.

He was acutely aware of the woman before him. Even setting aside Tang Ziye's enchanting beauty, her status alone was enough to crush him.

With a mere word, Tang Ziye had the power to obliterate all of Lee Zhengren's endeavors.

She was an untouchable titan, a force beyond his reach.

"Third Miss Tang, I beg your forgiveness!"

Lee Zhengren's knees gave way, and he found himself kneeling.

"Begging me? It seems you've mistaken your savior," Tang Ziye retorted icily.

The chill in her voice was palpable, sending shivers down Lee Zhengren's spine as cold sweat beaded on his forehead, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

It was the epitome of horror.

His gaze finally settled on Su Chen.

He collapsed to his knees.

"Su Chen, I beg your forgiveness for our petty misdeeds!"

As he spoke, Lee Zhengren glanced at Lin Yushen and her daughter.

"Lin Yushen, from this moment on, you and I are strangers. I implore Mr. Su to pardon my past wrongdoings!"

Lee Zhengren's face was a grotesque mix of tears and laughter, his expression hideously contorted. Lin Yushen and her daughter were utterly dumbfounded.

They had never imagined Su Chen possessed such a status.

Both women were consumed by deep regret.

"As of now, you and I are through!" Su Chen declared icily.

The frost in his eyes seemed to pierce right through them.

Lin Yushen's story was a chapter of agony in Su Chen's history, but he had since moved on.

Armed with the system, he was granted a second chance at life, and Su Chen was determined to make it count.

"We're leaving..."

Su Chen turned to Tang Ziye.

With those words, he strode away, his commanding presence leaving a lasting impression on all who witnessed it.

Lin Yushen and her daughter crumpled to the ground, their legs giving out beneath them.

But their remorse now held no significance...

...

"Um, could you explain what's going on? Are you truly my sister? But I'm a Su and you're a Tang."

The streets were deserted in the early morning, as a dark red supercar raced by at breakneck speed.

Inside the car.

Su Chen sat in the passenger seat, stealing glances at the woman driving. Reflecting on the earlier revelation, he was still in disbelief, as if it were all a dream. To suddenly have such a stunning sister was an unexpected joy...

"When you were little, there were things you didn't know. We're actually a blended family, and none of us are your blood sisters."

"Back then, my mom brought us three sisters to meet your dad, who had you as an infant. They fell in love, and due to an accident, we sisters got separated. You probably know the rest better than I do."

"I see," Su Chen replied, visibly astounded. Without Tang Ziye's disclosure, he might have never learned the truth, as his mother had treated him no differently than her own flesh and blood.

"By the way, Tang Ziye, how have you all been these years?"

"What did you just call me?"

Tang Ziye turned, her tone less than friendly.

"Uh..."

Despite her strikingly beautiful features, there were times when she could be quite intimidating, like now.

"Sister," Su Chen managed to say, albeit timidly.

"Just call me Sister Ziye. In the Tang family, I'm the Third Sister, and the eldest is Sister Ziwei. She's currently holding a high-ranking position in the military, so she's not in Songshan City. As for your Second Sister Zilu, she's a genius, but—"

"But what?" Su Chen asked, puzzled.

"You'll find out soon enough..." A flicker of something odd passed through Tang Ziye's eyes.

Su Chen remained silent, still trying to make sense of the situation.

Tang Ziye didn't elaborate further. Instead, she sped off in her red supercar, leaving the city behind for the suburbs.

The villa was barely visible among the overlapping shadows of the suburban landscape.

This was no ordinary villa; it was a top-tier estate hidden within the forest, resembling an enigmatic and ancient castle.

"This is where you live?" Su Chen asked, astonished.

"Of course. This castle was left to us by our mother. The Third Sister and I live here, along with Aunt Lee, our housekeeper. Since Big Sis is committed to her military duties, it's just Second Sister Tang Zilu and me here," Tang Ziye explained.

Her face took on a peculiar expression when she spoke of Tang Zilu, hinting at some unusual circumstance.

This piqued Su Chen's curiosity.

Was there something amiss with his Second Sister?

Their conversation was interrupted as the car pulled up to the castle gates, which swung open automatically.

The gates were operated by an expensive voice-activated system, something Su Chen had only read about in novels.

While he was still processing his surprise, the car came to a halt in front of the villa.

Two figures appeared before Su Chen.

A middle-aged woman was pushing a wheelchair, occupied by a young girl.

Seeing her, Su Chen was momentarily speechless.

She was undeniably a top-tier beauty, her allure rivaled only by that of Tang Ziye, whether in terms of temperament or any other aspect.

Where Tang Ziye's demeanor carried a hint of wildness, this girl's presence was ethereal, akin to that of a celestial being.

Yet, there was a noticeable affliction in the girl's legs, rendering her unable to stand.

"Second Sister, meet our brother, Su Chen..."
