After I awakened my inner voice, I became the treasure of my family.

Chapter 198 His older brother is too much of a beast!

Luo Yuchuan stared at the little girl in front of him with suspicion, his eyes filled with incomprehension and doubt.

He tentatively asked, "Are you my older brother's friend?" His words seemed to carry a hint of disbelief.

After all, he only knew that his older brother had been imprisoned because of a woman, but he never expected that this woman was... so young.

Judging from her appearance, she's at most a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl.

Luo Yuchuan couldn't help but mutter to himself, "My God, my older brother... could he really be so heartless? He wouldn't even spare a girl this young?"

Moreover, look at this little girl's outfit, wearing a pink dress and a gold necklace with pink gemstones, she looks exactly like a child who hasn't lost her childishness yet!

Has she... has she reached the age of marriage yet?

And his older brother... isn't he a beast?

Especially the girl opposite, with a small, delicate face the size of a palm, and a pair of big, watery eyes.

Her thick, curled eyelashes fluttered up and down with her blinking, like two delicate little fans, lively and lovely.

She pouted her pink lips slightly, frowned slightly, and said with a hint of annoyance, "Of course I'm your older brother's good friend! My name is Lan Die'er!"

"Has your older brother really never mentioned my name to you even once? Humph, you know I'm his best friend!"

However, the answer was a crisp two words: "No!"

Hearing the negative answer, Lan Die'er stomped her feet in anger, her little feet making a soft thud on the ground. Her charmingly annoyed expression was simply adorable.

She complained angrily, "Oh dear, how could this happen? Your brother is really something... he lied to me again!"

Looking at the adorable yet annoyed Lan Die'er, Luo Yuheng wore a strange expression and asked curiously, "Oh! My older brother... did he lie to you before too?"

Lan Die'er started rattling off a list of complaints, as if she had just opened a floodgate: "That's right, your older brother is a super big liar! He often lies to me."

Once, he actually told me that he was a pitiful little guy with a tragic background. His mother died early, and his father ignored him and didn't treat him like a son at all.

He also said that you, his younger brother, were the closest to him, showing him great care and always secretly taking care of him…

At this point, Lan Die'er paused, seemingly recalling the scene at the time, and felt even angrier, her little mouth pouting even more.

Luo Yuheng was speechless for a moment after hearing Lan Die'er's words, thinking to himself: These words don't sound like something his older brother would say...

He could hardly imagine that someone like Luo Yuchuan could appear so gentle, humble, and polite, like a true gentleman.

In reality, he always maintains a distance from people, keeping everyone at arm's length. How could someone like him try to gain sympathy from a little girl?

This is simply unbelievable!

Could this be the special treatment he gives to his sweetheart?

Lan Die'er said anxiously, "By the way, what exactly happened to your brother Luo Yuheng? I've been looking for him everywhere these past two days but I just can't find him."

Even his usual residence was locked, and he was nowhere to be found in the bookstores and other places he frequented. No one knew where he had gone, and he hadn't told me anything..."

Faced with Lan Die'er's question, Luo Yuheng shook his head helplessly, sighed, and replied, "Don't you know? My elder brother... he's already been arrested, hasn't he?"

Lan Die'er's eyes widened immediately, her face full of confusion and bewilderment, a classic question mark face appearing on her lips: "Arrested? Arrested...where were they taken?"

Luo Yuheng took a deep breath and slowly explained, "Of course he was arrested and thrown into jail. Where did you think he was taken?"

Furthermore, I've heard that my older brother, wanting to avenge a certain woman, actually dared to kidnap that man's mother.

As luck would have it, the woman the man liked bumped into them.

The woman that man liked not only saved his mother but also subdued my older brother. She also reported the incident to the authorities, and sure enough, the officials arrested my brother…”

Lan Die'er was almost dizzy from Luo Yuheng's complicated narration, which was like a tongue twister.

But she still picked up on the crucial information and exclaimed in shock, "What? Whose woman? How come Gu Yunchen has a woman he likes? Why didn't I know about this?!"

"Oh! So, you're the woman my brother has been longing for? You kept saying you were just good friends with my brother, you've been lying to me all along!" Luo Yuheng roared angrily.

Just now, he only had some doubts, but after the test, the truth was revealed, which made him furious.

At this moment, he even wished he could rush into the prison and give his usually shrewd older brother a good beating.

He simply couldn't understand how his usually clever older brother could do something so incredibly foolish.

This woman clearly saw him as a fool she could manipulate at will, playing him for a fool, yet he, like a complete idiot, willingly offered himself up.

Thinking of this, Luo Yuheng cursed his elder brother in his heart, thinking how incredibly stupid he was!

Hmph! Thinking back to how clever my older brother was when he lied to me before, and then looking at how brainless he is now when facing this woman.

Luo Yuheng thought that his elder brother... truly, every pitiful person has something hateful about them!

What infuriated him even more was that despite his older brother being such a muddle-headed and brainless person, he had been foolishly kept in the dark for so many years. In the end, he was probably the most stupid person in the world!

In stark contrast to Luo Yuheng's exasperation, Lan Die'er, standing to the side, remained calm and composed, showing no embarrassment or guilt whatsoever at having her lie exposed.

She slowly and deliberately said, "That's just how it is. Your older brother is deeply in love with me, but I don't have any romantic feelings for him!"

I've always considered your older brother just a regular friend, and he knows this himself, and he even approves of it!

"Pah! You shameless woman, don't you know how devoted my elder brother is to you?"

But you, knowing full well he likes you, still cling to him under the guise of friendship. Aren't you just treating him like a fool?

Luo Yuheng accused him with a face full of resentment.

Lan Die'er, however, looked completely innocent and retorted, "Who says that liking someone means you have to be together forever and become lovers? What's wrong with us maintaining a purely platonic friendship?"

"Alright, if that's the case, you keep saying you like Gu Yunchen, so why are you still with him?"

Why can't I just be a good friend to Gu Yunchen like I was to my older brother, helping him and his fiancée get together?

"When did Gu Yunchen get a fiancée? Besides, even if it's true, then tell me, who exactly is his fiancée?"

Luo Yuheng's lips curled into a mocking smile as he sneered, "Heh heh, even if I knew, I would never tell you. I'd rather not tell you than make you furious!"

Seeing Luo Yuheng's shameless appearance, Lan Die'er was immediately furious. She stomped her foot and said angrily, "Oh dear, what kind of person are you? You're just a disgusting person with absolutely no taste."

Finally, Lan Die'er muttered again, "You brat!"

When Luo Yuheng heard her insulting him, he naturally wouldn't back down and retorted, "Hmph, you're the annoying brat, your whole family are annoying brats..."

And so, Luo Yuheng and Lan Die'er started arguing back and forth, neither willing to give in.

The people who had been secretly following Lan Die'er were quite frightened by this sudden scene and were also worried for Luo Yuheng. Ignorance is bliss!

They watched as Lan Die'er's emotions grew increasingly agitated, and she was about to lose her temper.

Seeing that things were going badly, one of them rolled his eyes and told the others not to move, while he himself ran towards the two childish kids who were arguing.

Sure enough, just as he ran up to the two of them, he saw Lan Die'er raise her hand slightly, as if she was about to use her Gu technique.
