He only "saved" Hari AFTER he went to save that stupid bitch "friend" and his "sister" first. That is what crushed Hari, that out of the two of them he went to get someone else first instead of her. In the end, even with the "misunderstanding", she was still 2nd best at that point in their relationship, from the ML's POV.

--read below--
The dumbass "friend" still doesn't learn her lesson with that worthless ex-boyfriend of hers and the trouble she caused the FL and ML.
In recent chapters he somehow (after stalking, assaulting and attacking FL) finds a way to worm himself back into the life of that stupid bitch.
They live together in secret until one day his true colours surfaces and he threatens the stupid girl by dowsing her in petrol/alcohol and telling to call FL/ML(I forgot) to set them up. In a scuffle he hits her on the head badly and she is bleeding. ML calls her and tells him that the psycho is on his way to the FL to "burn" her.
-fast forward dramatic fight scene involving psycho 2nd ML and ML with FL in the middle-
the idiot girl is hospital needing surgery and FINALLY understands the shit she caused everyone.

After the shit has done to other people, he has to dowse her in flammable liquid threaten to burn her alive. Then, bash her in the head with a blunt object to her FINALLY understand he was bad news. He even got the ML arrested while he was living with her because the bro confronted him when he taunted the ML.

Is the "secret baby" as a result of date-rape by a billionaire CEO the only manhua plot that is legalised to be published in Chinese?

As a matter of fact, I do read Harlequin Romances. And I've not stumbled upon one HQ novel where the heroine is a victim of date-rape or any rape at the hands of the hero. If u object to my statement, tell me the names of the HQ mangas or novels which have it!
The 'secret-baby' is an overused theme but what matters is how it was conceived and whether it was a result of consensual intercourse, which 100% of the times is in Harlequins and 99% of the times ISN'T in Chinese manhuas. I've read Chinese web novels, manhuas, romantic fiction so I can safely vouch for it. Feel free to oppose my opinion after posting proof that I'm wrong, otherwise don't bother!
Unlike the older brother who was blinded bitter and anger by the death of his mother. he KNEW what they were doing to Charlize was wrong but still wanted a half in and half out a relationship with her. Not fully acknowledge her to appease his father and brother but get satisfaction from her desperation to be accepted and feel superior if he gave her empty gestures of "affection" in secret. His mother would be turning in her grave if she realised the son who told her, he would grow up to protect his sister became a spineless coward that forsaked his promise.
Well their family is full of shits after doing that all to charlize they want her to come back it's freaking annoying
The brothers literally ONLY exist to live in regret. They're not written with good motivations or even a personality. They only exist in the story to feel sorry for her as though it's just deserts for them. It's really not fleshed out at all or purposeful since they're just a plot device for Charlize to literally ignore every time they're around as though she 'won' something from snubbing their encounter, which means very little since she's a Mary Sue character and we haven't seen her work hard for anything yet. So far it's been 'she used to work hard for their affection but didn't get any' and there's a lame explanation as to why 'because her mom died in labor'
So all in all, sorry but don't expect much out of them.
