Their eyes met in the air.

For a moment, the atmosphere was tense.

Gu Youran noticed something was wrong, followed Shi Heng's gaze, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shi Heng frowned, protecting Gu Youran behind him, and said in a low voice, "It's okay, it's just a barking dog."

The voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard upstairs.

Shi Jue's face turned ashen.

He laughed in anger and shouted to the people downstairs: "You are really sharp-tongued. You haven't improved in other aspects since you left home for a year, but you have improved your tongue!"

As he spoke, he put down the teacup, stood up, and quickly went downstairs with Wu Lixiong and the other two. In a blink of an eye, they stood in front of Shi Heng.

He looked at Shi Heng, three parts smiling and seven parts mocking, "Brother, why didn't you say hello when you came back? Our whole family is thinking about you!"

The four words "our whole family" were like a sharp blade, piercing straight into Shi Heng's heart.

Once upon a time, it was a warm harbor for him and his mother.

But because of the appearance of the person in front of him, it was shattered.

"How come I didn't know I have a younger brother?"

Shi Heng's eyes were cold, his hands clenched unconsciously, and veins bulged on the back of his hands.

Shi Jue had a smug smile on his face. "Big brother, you may not know this yet, but my grandmother has already included me in the family tree and changed my name to Shi Jue. My mother has also been taken to the old house. Now I am a legitimate member of the Shi family."

Shi Heng tried his best to suppress his anger and said, "Legitimate? You're just an outsider who's usurped my position, relying on tricks and schemes to temporarily please my grandmother."

He said word by word, "Do you really think that by changing your name, you can completely integrate into the Shi family?"

Shi Jue's face darkened, and a sinister look flashed in his eyes. "Brother, this is really harsh. You and I have the same father but different mothers, and we share the same blood. How can I be an outsider?"

"This past year, I've toiled tirelessly in the Shi family, managing the business. How could I not have given my all? And yet, you, without a word, ran away with Mother, and now you're back to accuse me."

Shi Heng snorted coldly, "You are doing this just to gain a foothold in the Shi family and seek personal gain."

Shi Jue took a step closer, lowering his voice but still full of threats.

"Hmph, so what? Now, the situation at home is completely different from before. My grandmother values ​​me, and the elders in the clan have praised me a lot."

"If you know what's good for you, just acknowledge me as your younger brother. I can give you a share of the Shi family's assets in the future. Otherwise..."

Gu Youran stood aside and listened to all this quietly.

She sneered, "Oh, I've never seen anyone so shameless. Your face is thicker than the corner of the city wall, and you're not ashamed!"

Shi Jue was instantly enraged. He stared at Gu Youran and said viciously, "You ignorant woman, you want to enter the Shi family without even considering yourself?"

"The Shi family won't recognize a person like you with unknown origins!"

These words were like a fire, instantly igniting Shi Heng's anger.

He was filled with chills and suddenly took a step forward, holding Gu Youran tightly behind him, his eyes wide open with anger.

He roared, "Don't you dare touch her? I'm warning you, she's the one I've chosen to spend my life with. No one is allowed to hurt her, including you and the entire Shi family!"

Shi Jue's face was full of sarcasm, "Brother, do you think you are still the same prince who always had the final say?"

He raised his hand and pointed at Gu Youran, "With what you have now, can you protect her? Don't be naive. The Shi family has strict rules. How can we allow you to bring a wild woman in casually?"

Shi Heng's eyes were cold, and a bloodthirsty murderous intent flashed across his eyes. "Wild woman? In my eyes, she is a thousand times cleaner than those of you who harbor evil intentions."

"Shi family, humph, I will never set foot in that troubled place again. You and I are not of the same kind."

Upon hearing this, Shi Jue was stunned for a moment, then he threw his head back and laughed, "Brother, don't be so stubborn. Are you really willing to give up the Shi family's wealth and splendor?"

Shi Heng glanced at him coldly and said in a cold voice: "Only an incompetent person like you would treat the Shi family as a treasure."

After saying that, Shi Heng pulled Gu Youran and turned to leave.

"Why are you pretending to be so noble? If you have the guts, then don't come back. If you do come back, you have to follow the rules of the Shi family!"

Shi Jue shouted at the top of his lungs from behind, his face flushed red with anger.

Shi Heng turned a deaf ear to him, continued walking, and pulled Gu Youran forward quickly.

He walked straight back to the car and slammed the door shut.

Shi Heng's whole body was like a taut string, he slumped back in his chair, his chest heaving violently, his hands unconsciously clenched.

Obviously, the anger in his heart has not yet subsided.

Gu Youran was filled with pity and held Shi Heng's hand, wanting to offer some comfort.

But Shi Heng didn't react at all.

Gu Youran made up her mind, leaned forward slightly, and pressed her soft lips against Shi Heng's.

Shi Heng was stunned at first, and then the anger in his eyes seemed to find an outlet.

He suddenly took the initiative, holding Gu Youran's head with one hand and her waist with the other, deepening the kiss almost roughly.

His kiss was full of release and anger.

It also carries with it a deep affection for the person in front of me.

Between his lips and teeth, the emotions that he had suppressed for a long time surged.

After an unknown amount of time, Shi Heng's movements gradually slowed down until they stopped.

He let go of Gu Youran, breathing heavily, his eyes inadvertently sweeping over her swollen lips.

The bright color was like a heavy hammer that suddenly woke him up.

The enthusiasm in his eyes faded away in an instant, leaving only regret.

"I'm sorry... Youbao, I scared you with my current appearance."

Shi Heng's breathing was still rapid, and his voice was a little hoarse.
