<...Chapter 11 This is your brother, Ah Ji.
Lu Yinzhao learned that she was to go out with Yin Song the following afternoon.
At first, Lu Cheng also insisted on going along, but the second and third brothers held her down.
"Why can Big Brother go, but the rest of us can't?" Lu Cheng blurted out without thinking.
"Aunt Wen just moved back. It would be so impolite for our whole family to rush over all at once."
Lu Qi thought to himself, "Why does this kid think so simply?"
How many people are in our family? Don't you have any idea?
It's like they're eagerly trying to freeload a meal.
Lu Cheng remained silent for a while, then realized that Lu Qi's words made sense.
"Actually, in principle, your Aunt Wen only invited me. We haven't been in much contact for the past two years, as we've both been busy with our own family matters. She only found out about my new child after she returned to China, so she asked me to bring Zhaozhao along as well."
Fearing that the other children would be unhappy, Yin Song eventually offered a few words of explanation.
“Your older brother is driving me out today. It’s my first time visiting, so it wouldn’t be appropriate to bring his whole family along. Once your Aunt Wen and the others are completely settled, we’ll invite them to our home as guests.”
After saying that, Yin Song picked up the baby and walked outside.
Lu Xun waved to the three of them: "I'm leaving. Take good care of the house."
Second, third, and fourth sons: "Oh..."
As soon as the door closed, the three of them went off in different directions without looking back, each going about their own business.
"Fake family relationships" are playing out every day.

At this moment, everything in the car was harmonious.
Lu Yinzhao sat in a car seat, holding his water bottle and sipping apple juice.
This was freshly squeezed at home and poured into a cup in advance.
There are quite a few things to bring when a child goes out, but fortunately Yin Song is very experienced in this regard and has packed all the essential items into a mother and baby backpack.
Lu Yinzhao drank while thinking.
Who exactly is this Aunt Wen? The book doesn't seem to mention her.
However, it's also possible that he hasn't seen the content yet.
Considering that someone can become best friends with Yin Song, their family background must be quite good, right?
Celebrities or wealthy families have their own social circles, which are most likely composed of people in the same profession or with whom they have business dealings.
As a family of celebrities, the Lu family has been engaged in entertainment-related businesses for four generations. The great-grandfather was the founder of a certain school of opera art, which was later passed on to the great-grandfather, and the grandfather gradually developed into an actor.
Mr. Lu Mingqi, also known as Mr. Lu, is a first-class actor at the National Theatre of China, having played many well-known classic roles. Mrs. Lu is a famous opera artist. Now that they are retired, they still can't stay idle and occasionally go to their workplace to mentor the younger generation of students.
His father, Lu Wenyan, has starred in so many high-grossing films that he's already a figure in the financial world.
In short, the Lu family has never been poor.
Whether it's due to genetic factors or not, almost all of the Lu family's children have some artistic talent.
At least for now, the eldest brother, second sister, and third brother are all in the entertainment industry and have a place in it. Although the fourth brother is not in the entertainment industry, he will also make a name for himself in his field in a few years.
Lu Yinzhao felt so ordinary that she seemed out of place in this family.
He can't act, sing, or dance. If he really has any hobbies, he's okay at drawing and also likes taking photos with his phone.
Yin Song and Lu Xun, of course, had no idea that on their way to someone else's house, their baby had already started thinking about such distant things as what direction to take in the future.

The Bian family.
"Ah Ji, Mom's friend is coming to visit soon, and that aunt will be bringing a little boy with her. Will you be in charge of playing with the little boy?"
Wen Su bent down to look at her son with anticipation, and reached out to touch the back of the boy's neck.
"What's his name?" Bian Ji's face showed no emotion as he bypassed Wen Su's request and asked his own question.
“Zhao Zhao,” Wen Su asked patiently, “that’s what his family calls him.”
"I'll say my full name." Bian Ji's cool little face carried a maturity beyond his years.
"Full name... let me think..."
Yin Song seemed to have mentioned it to her, but Wen Su couldn't quite recall, so she simply took out her phone and looked at their chat history.
“Oh, that little boy’s full name is Lu Yinzhao.” Wen Su showed those words to her son.
Bian Ji nodded to indicate that he understood, "OK, I will treat you well."
Seeing that her son had agreed, Wen Su breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on her face.
She knew all too well how "independent" her son was.
It's a literal description: independent from a young age, not very interested in making friends, preferring to be alone, and especially passionate about music. As long as he has an instrument, he can stay in his room all day without feeling bored at all.
He found the games his peers played childish, couldn't understand what was so funny about the jokes children told, and wasn't overly curious about new things. The curiosity that children usually have is almost nonexistent in Bian Ji.
At such a young age, he exudes a sense of "Buddhist-like" and "detached" detachment.
If Wen Su hadn't known that Bian Ji was at least interested in music, she would have thought her son was born "without desires or wants".
I wonder who he inherited this personality from.
She and her husband are both cheerful and easy-going people, yet they had a little ice cube in their baby.
However, this description is not entirely accurate. Strictly speaking, Bian Ji is not the kind of cold and heartless child. His eyes will light up and he will smile when he encounters something that interests him.
He has no problem communicating normally with people, he listens to what his parents teach him, and he is very polite when he goes out.
He has excellent academic performance; in online parlance, he is the so-called "other people's child".
Wen Su didn't feel much. She had two sons. Her eldest son, Bian Nan, was also very outstanding from a young age. He was about the same age as Yin Song's eldest son and had already taken over the Bian family's overseas company. He didn't come back to China this time and planned to work there long-term.
The main reason for my return this time was for my youngest son.
Bian Ji doesn't like to interact with his peers. Wen Su wondered if it was because the overseas educational environment was making her son uncomfortable. After all, he was surrounded by foreign children, and Bian Ji had to communicate with them in English, which wasn't their native language.
Bian Ji grew up in China until he was three years old. Later, because the Bian family's company expanded into overseas markets, the whole family moved abroad and lived there for five years. Now that they have returned to their homeland, Wen Su thinks that this might change some of her son's ideas, allowing him to make some good friends in China and grow up healthy and happy like an ordinary child.
Wen Su didn't have any particularly strict requirements for Bian Ji, which was the same idea she shared with Yin Song. They believed that their child could do whatever he wanted in the future, since his older brother had already inherited the company, and his younger son didn't need to feel too much pressure.
Wen Su just hoped that her youngest son could be a little more childlike.
Because Bian Ji never cuddles or begs for hugs, she longs for those parent-child moments.
...
There was the sound of a car driving up outside.
Wen Su was already waiting at the door.
Upon seeing the driver, she immediately recognized him as Lu Xun and waved to him happily.
Although Wen Su and her family are abroad, they keep up with news from China.
Especially since Lu Xun just won the Best Actor award this year and made headlines, Wen Su was truly happy for him, and also for her good friend Yin Song.
Yoon Song-sang's children are all exceptionally good-looking, both the boys and girls are handsome.
"Wen Su!" Yin Song got out of the car and gave his long-lost friend a heartfelt hug.
"Yin Song, you haven't changed at all since I went abroad. You female celebrities really know how to maintain your youthful appearance. Teach me how!"
"Why don't you look in the mirror and see yourself? You haven't even gotten a single wrinkle, and you still have the nerve to criticize me? You haven't changed much either, have you? You're a mother of two, but your mentality is still like that of an 18-year-old girl." Yin Song smiled.
"No way, you're a mother of five. I can clearly feel that my energy is not as good as before this year. Time really does catch up with you."
While Wen Su and Yin Song were chatting, Lu Xun had already taken Lu Yinzhao out of the car seat in the back.
Wen Su's attention quickly shifted to the little baby.
"Yin Song, you're so good at having children! This baby is even more beautiful than the photos you sent me!"
Wen Su had previously learned about the appearance of Yin Song's youngest son through photos.
It's quite cute.
But seeing the little one face to face now, the cuteness level doubles.
Children change every day, especially at this age, when they are chubby and incredibly cute.
"Zhaozhao, I'm your Aunt Wen. Come and let Auntie hold you, okay?" Wen Su asked tentatively, worried that the baby might be shy around strangers.
The little one blinked its big, black, gem-like eyes twice, gave a shy smile, and then slowly nodded.
Wen Su was overjoyed.
Zhao Zhao responded to her the first time she saw her. This chubby little dumpling is so cute, completely different from her own hard lump.
Lu Xun handed Zhao Zhao over, and Wen Su gently took the little one into her arms. She felt so soft and comfortable, and her body smelled so sweet and milky.
"Let's not stand outside anymore, let's come inside," Wen Su invited.
"Is your youngest son home too?" Yin Song asked casually.
"Yes, yes, I just told him to take Zhao Zhao to play this afternoon, and he agreed."
"Your son is eight years old this year, right? Can he play with Zhao Zhao? Zhao Zhao is still a little kid."
“In my eyes, he’s not that much older. My son, Aji, is just a little kid. He used to be the youngest in the family, but now that a little brother has come to live with us, he can be the older brother. It’s only right that he takes care of his younger brother.”
As they talked, they went inside. Tea, snacks, and fruit had already been prepared on the coffee table in the living room.
"Ah Ji, the guests have arrived. Where is the child?" Wen Su called out.
Lu Yinzhao, being held by Wen Su, was also looking around.
The living room of this house is very large, with one wall entirely made of glass. In that area, there is a platform with a pure white grand piano on it.
As Lu Yinzhao was admiring the beauty of the piano, a little boy popped out from behind it, holding an "orange dumpling" in his arms.
"I'm here. It just ran into the piano. I'm taking it to the cat room now."
The boy's voice, though childlike, contained a hint of composure.
"Zhaozhao, this is your brother Aji. Let him play with you later, okay?" Wen Su introduced him the moment her son appeared.
When Lu Yinzhao heard the name and saw the boy's face, his whole body almost twisted in shock.
That name is so famous, that face is so familiar...
Seriously? Is the world this crazy?
If you only heard the name or looked at the appearance, Lu Yinzhao might think it was a coincidence, but with both of these factors combined, he felt it was a done deal.
Who else could this be but the "all-around singer" Bian Ji?!
