My Little Brother Used My Photo to Catfish Online While I Was Chopping Fish Heads at the Market

Jiang Xiaobei runs a seafood shop. Her twin younger brother, Jiang Ye, stays home all day. He wakes up and plays games, orders takeout when he’s hungry, and even pays Jiang Xiaobei to do his laundry and clean his room. He always says, “Your big brother has plenty of money.” But Jiang Xiaobei is short on cash. She wants to travel and go looking for handsome guys, so she has to work herself to the bone chopping fish heads at the market. One day, a man who seemed completely out of place at the fish stall showed up. His suit was immaculate, and he was devastatingly handsome. He said his name was Xie Zhongyi, and that he’d heard she had a terminal illness. It had taken him ages to find her. Jiang Xiaobei: ? Xie Zhongyi handed her his phone. The screen was full of records of money transfers and red-envelope payments. Jiang Xiaobei sharpened her knives, furious as she realized that the stay-at-home bum had used her photos to catfish people online, swindle them, and make her his servant. Xie Zhongyi backed away a few steps. “Scamming people hurts them. You’ll rot in prison.” “...” Jiang Xiaobei stormed home, only to find the stay-at-home bum had already run off with the money. A blood-red note lay on the table: “Sis, help me.” Seeing that Xie Zhongyi was handsome and rich, Jiang Xiaobei tucked the note away and decided to play along. She put on a pitiful expression. “I was afraid you’d look down on me.” Later, Jiang Ye kept producing new online-dating partners every few days. Afraid of being found out, Jiang Xiaobei acted up, threatened to break up, and even secretly tried to run away. Xie Zhongyi caught her, and Jiang Xiaobei pointed at the culprit, Jiang Ye. Xie Zhongyi narrowed his eyes menacingly. “You scammed me and still think you can leave?” Everyone knew the Xie family of Jing City wielded immense power, and Xie Zhongyi was even more untouchable. They all warned him, “A girl like that is only after your money. You two aren’t from the same world.” “She loves money, and I have money. We’re made for each other.”
