<h4>Chapter 414 Manipting the Narrative! Magnanimous Zhang Wei! (2) </h4>


    ?Chen Dong, his patience fraying at the edges, shot back, "Zhang Wei! Don''t you think you''re going too far?"


    With a patronizing pat on Chen Dong''s shoulder, Zhang Wei led him to a secluded corner of the room, away from the prying eyes and ears of the assembled family. "Brother Dong, it wasn''t me who was going too far, but it was your sister," he confided, his tone serious, attempting to flip the narrative.


    "What!?" Chen Dong''s astonishment was reced with a re of anger, disbelief etching deeper into his features. "Do you really think I''m so gullible?"


    Zhang Wei pressed on, undeterred, "She reached so far, that she reached the edge of the window. If I hadn''t epted her, she might as well have jumped and taken her life."


    !!


    Chen Dong''s face morphed through a spectrum of emotions, from bewilderment to confusion, his mind fought against Zhang Wei''s insinuations. "What are you saying? Why would Yn... take her own life?" he demanded, his voice a mix of suprise and concern.


    Zhang Wei, barely concealing his amusement at Chen Dong''s naiveté, sighed dramatically. "Sigh, you are dense," he muttered, a smirk ying on his lips as he turned back towards Chen Yn, who was seated, her nervousness visible in the tense silence that had enveloped the room.


    "Yn..." Zhang Wei called out softly, drawing her gaze upwards.


    Their eyes met, and for a moment, there was an unspokenmunication between them, a blend of reassurance andmand.


    Then, without warning, he leaned forward, sealing their fates with a kiss that spoke volumes more than words ever could.


    !!


    The room fell into a stunned silence, the audacity of the act leaving everyone momentarily speechless.


    "Yn... Y-You..." Chen Dong stuttered, his disbelief rendering him almost inarticte.


    Zhang Wei, with a triumphant grin, returned to him, dering, "See... I told you."


    Chen Yn, her head bowed, remained silent. Yet, even without words, her flushed face betrayed a tumult of emotions, from shock to a bewildering sense of resignation.


    Zhang Wei didn''t give anyone time to digest the scene.


    He grabbed Chen Dong once more, his demeanor shifting to one of assertive seriousness as he dragged him to a corner. "Brother Dong, I don''t know about you, but if you said anything more, you would be responsible for her death. And then, I am gonna beat you to pulp," he whispered, his voice calm yetced with a menacing edge.


    Chen Dong, fueled by a mix of anger and protectiveness, retorted, "Bastard! I would beat you to pulp if she dies as well!" His outburst reverberated through the room, startling everyone into a heightened state of alertness.


    Zhang Wei''s response was tough, a sound that seemed to mock the gravity of their exchange. "Then it''s decided..." he dered, hisughter fading into a smirk of satisfaction.


    "Decided what?" Chen Dong demanded, suspicioncing his voice, his stance defensive yet intrigued by Zhang Wei''s confidence.


    Zhang Wei shrugged nonchntly, his grin unwavering. "What else, brother-inw?" He teased.


    !!


    Chen Dong''s initial stiffness gave way to a tumult of emotions as he processed Zhang Wei''s words.


    The sight of Chen Yn, visibly distressed and unable to meet anyone''s gaze, tugged at his heartstrings, prompting him to confront the reality of the situation and seek answers.


    "Why did she never tell me anything? And what really happened between you two?" Chen Dong''s voice wasced with disbelief and a hint of betrayal. The thought that his sister might harbor such intense feelings for Zhang Wei—to the point of threatening her own life—was unfathomable to him, especially given the absence of any prior confidences shared between them.


    Zhang Wei''s smile broadened, a gleam of mischief—or perhaps it was something deeper—shing in his eyes. "Hehe... that''s a secret," he began, his tone teasing yet revealing. "But once she became aware that the councilman''s son is out... She was very daring and proposed to me on the day of his engagement, to the point she even closed the door and didn''t let me out until I answered her."


    "What!? That happened." Chen Dong was astounded, the pieces of the puzzle beginning to fall into ce in a pattern he hadn''t anticipated.


    Zhang Wei nodded solemnly, his earlier amusement fading into a more serious expression.


    Chen Dong, grappling with this new information, pressed on, "S-So what did you reply?"


    Zhang Wei shrugged nonchntly. "Naturally, I declined."


    Chen Dong cursed inwardly, ''Bastard!'' Yet, even as frustration simmered within him, he couldn''t help but see the reason in Zhang Wei''s rejection, given the absurdity of the situation.


    "So, was this the reason... Yn was so depressed that day... We even had to leave the venue abruptly, and you got out of the car and went somewhere else..." The memories aligned, painting a clearer picture of that day''s events, prompting Chen Dong to cast a sympathetic nce towards both Chen Yn and Zhang Wei.


    Caught off guard by Chen Dong''s piecing together of events, Zhang Wei momentarily faltered. He hadn''t anticipated his fabrications aligning so neatly with reality. Recovering quickly, he nodded, seizing the narrative. "Exactly... But things escted when I returned. She confronted me again... And this time..."


    "This time what?" Chen Dong''s voice was tense, a sense of ominous premonition looming over him as he braced for Zhang Wei''s next words.


    Zhang Wei hesitated, his voice dropping to a near whisper, "She... drugged me... And... the whole night..."


    The revtion struck Chen Dong like a physical blow, his face darkening with a mix of anger and disbelief. ''What the hell!? Yn did that!?'' The thought screamed in his mind, painting his sister in a light he''d never imagined possible.


    "Not only that," Zhang Wei continued, his voice tinged with a forced sobriety, "In the morning, s-she even walked to the edge of the window, threatening me with her life..."


    "What!?" The room seemed to spin as Chen Dong''s patience snapped, his voice booming across the room towards Chen Yn. "Yn, you threatened Zhang Wei with your life?"


    Chen Yn flinched under the weight of her brother''s usation. Her lips trembled as she whispered, "I... I... Didn''t mean it..." Her voice, though soft, carried a heavy weight, echoing through the stunned silence that followed.


    The truth was far moreplicated. She had indeed threatened Zhang Wei, but it was a desperate attempt to protect herself, to ensure he couldn''t take advantage of her vulnerability.


    Yet, this nuance was lost in the moment, her intentions misconstrued by everyone present.


    Chen Dong''s knees felt weak as he processed the gravity of the situation. His gaze shifted back to Zhang Wei, whose wry smile seemed to paint him in a saintly light amidst the chaos.


    Despite the alleged ordeal at the hands of his sister, Zhang Wei appeared magnanimous, forgiving.


    ''Such a kindred spirit, must deserve heaven!'' The thought shed through Chen Dong''s mind, admiration mingling with guilt.


    Zhang Wei, despite his reputation and the night''s alleged events, seemed to embody a level of benevolence that was both confounding and awe-inspiring.


    ''He even risked his marriage...'' The realization dawned on Chen Dong suddenly, prompting him to nce at Yu Lei.


    The implications of Zhang Wei''s actions, the potential sacrifice of his own marital harmony for the sake of resolving the situation with Chen Yn, added anotheryer of magnanimous deeds to his character!
