At the entrance of Beiji Village, Zhang Rui was holding a large bag and looking around, as if searching for something.

After looking around, he focused his attention on a tree that was surrounded by a wide open space.

Then, he took a monitoring device out of the bag, connected it to a heavy battery, and climbed up the tree.

After placing the surveillance camera among the leaves, he wiped the sweat from his brow.

"Done!"

In just one afternoon, he had already installed surveillance cameras all around Beiji Village. No matter how capable Lin Yaodong was, it was impossible for him to sneak into Beiji Village without Lin Yaodong's knowledge.

"Next, we just need to wait for Miss Lin Yurou to arrive."

Even Zhang Rui had to admit that Lin Yaodong was a formidable opponent.

However, all he needs to do is ensure that Lin Yaodong cannot contact Mu Liuyun before Lin Yurou arrives.

Although Mu Liuyun is the young master of the Lin family, this news has not yet spread.

Lin Hongmei didn't plan to announce it immediately, hoping to lure Lin Yaodong into revealing his weakness.

But Lin Yurou is the daughter of the true head of the family. Once Lin Yurou and Mu Liuyun get together, Lin Yaodong won't have the guts to lay a hand on Lin Yurou.

"No matter how you look at it, this is a sure win! Hmm?"

Just as Zhang Rui was about to jump down from the tree, he suddenly saw a beautiful figure by the roadside, so beautiful that she seemed out of place in this remote village.

"Miss Chu, um..."

This figure from behind belongs to no one but Chu Yaqin.

At this very moment, Chu Yaqin was squatting by the roadside, munching on a steamed bun.

How could such a wealthy young lady suddenly fall into such a state of destitution?

Zhang Rui naturally did not believe that this was a sign that the Chu family was about to go bankrupt.

He guessed, "It must be because he had a fight with Yundi."

"To be honest, my brother Yun is really capable, to make such a rich young lady suffer for him."

Thinking of this, Zhang Rui jumped down from the tree, wanting to help Chu Yaqin.

After all, he had once been lying alone on a park bench far from his hometown, feeling lost and helpless.

After getting caught in the rain, I always think of helping others by holding an umbrella for them.

"Miss Chu."

"Hmm? Butler Zhang, it's you."

Chu Yaqin smiled at Zhang Rui, but her smile was full of bitterness.

Zhang Rui kept his distance from Chu Yaqin and sat down on the curb as well.

"Miss Chu, are there many things you can't let go of?"

"ah?"

What's so many things? There's only one Mu Liuyun, isn't there?

Zhang Rui ignored Chu Yaqin's stunned expression and continued speaking to himself: "I like a flower, but there's no need to pick it. I like the wind, so..."

"Butler Zhang, what are you trying to say?"

Zhang Rui suddenly stopped talking, as if searching for the right words. After searching for a long time, he realized that he had no idea how to comfort people.

They say that long illness makes one a good doctor, but when he was cheated on, no one comforted him!

You finally come up with a famous line, but people don't even want to hear the whole thing.

Thinking about this, Zhang Rui even felt somewhat wronged.

"...Butler Zhang, I'd like to ask you something..."

"Please ask me!"

"What is your relationship with Mu Liuyun?"

"Huh? This..."

This question made Zhang Rui hesitate.

It wasn't that he didn't trust Chu Yaqin; after all, the relationship between the Chu family and the Lin family had always been good before Lin Jianguo went abroad, and he had heard that the two of them were even comrades-in-arms.

The situation is currently unclear...

After much deliberation, Zhang Rui ultimately remained silent, only shaking his head: "Miss Chu, young master Mu Liuyun is in trouble right now. If you could help..."

"What trouble!"

Chu Yaqin's expression tensed up, and she almost grabbed Zhang Rui by the collar to interrogate him.

Have you heard of Lin Yaodong?

A few minutes later, Chu Yaqin's beautiful brows furrowed together.

"That's settled then, Miss Chu. I think this might still be an opportunity."

Upon hearing Zhang Rui's words, Chu Yaqin nodded slightly and smiled, then patted her pants and got up to leave.

She was naturally very familiar with Lin Yaodong's name. According to his father, his grandfather used Lin Yaodong's name to scare him when he was a child.

Unexpectedly, Xiaoyun had a grudge against this kind of person.

Although Zhang Rui didn't say anything, Chu Yaqin formed her own guesses based on all of this.

It seems that Xiaoyun not only looks like a member of the Lin family, but he is actually related to them.

When she recalled asking Lin Yurou, Lin Yurou told her firmly that the Lin family had no male heirs.

"It seems Miss Lin lied to me."

As Chu Yaqin walked, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

"Lin Yaodong... let me tell you, the new era no longer has a ship that can carry you..."

…

…

"You mean, I have a younger brother?"

Next to a children's playground in downtown Jincheng, Lin Yurou was sweating profusely, impatiently answering her phone call while keeping an eye on Lulu, who was jumping around in the playground.

Lin Yurou's face is exactly the same as Mu Liuyun and Lin Hongmei, but their styles of dress are completely different.

She wore her hair in pigtails, and her overall style leaned more towards Lolita fashion.

She had even more small trinkets on her body than Lulu did.

"snort."

Seeing Lin Yurou's reaction, the person on the other end snorted coldly and hung up the phone, leaving only a series of beeping sounds.

"Hello, hello? No, Mr. Chu, please explain yourself!"

Lin Yurou was on the verge of tears. If you're unhappy, at least explain yourself clearly.

What do you mean I have a younger brother?

How come I didn't know that!

Are Mom and Dad pregnant again?

No, Mom, you're almost fifty! She's a high-class beauty, you're an older mother!

If their second sister, Lin Jianglu, who is studying medicine, found out, she would scold them to death!

No, I need to find out.

As she was thinking this, her phone rang again. She looked at the contact name and saw it was her older sister, Lin Hongmei.

"Hey, little sister, where are you?"

"I'm taking Lulu to play at the children's playground. We'll be home in a bit. What's wrong?"

"I'm going back to Jincheng. You can bring Lulu back later."

"Okay, wait, sis, I have a question for you. Is Mom going to have another baby brother for us?"

"Mom is so old, how could such a thing happen!"

Hearing Lin Hongmei's negative answer, Lin Yurou finally felt relieved and patted her chest.

Oh dear, I'm just scaring myself.

"It's our biological brother, we've finally found him."

"ah?"

"Okay, I'm going through the tunnel now, I'll hang up now."

"No, wait!"

Another beeping sound followed. Lin Yurou was stunned for a moment, then gritted her teeth.

Why do they all hang up before they can even speak clearly?

What younger brother? Where did this younger brother come from? Doesn't our Lin family only continue its lineage by having a son-in-law marry into the family?

"Auntie, what's wrong?"

Just as Lin Yurou was on the verge of collapse, Lulu appeared in front of her without her noticing, broke the popsicle she had just bought in half, and handed Lin Yurou the half with the mouthpiece still attached.

Lin Yurou took the popsicle and put it in her mouth. Seeing Lulu's concerned expression, her heart melted instantly. She hugged Lulu tightly and kissed her cheek.

"Your mother is calling; she's coming back soon."

"Oh? Mommy's coming back! Yay! What about the stepmother? Is she coming back too?"

"Little Mom?"

My niece has a stepmother!

Lin Yurou stared at Lulu with wide eyes. Her brother-in-law had been dead for three or four years, how could he still marry a younger woman?

Or perhaps the eldest sister couldn't bear the blow of her brother-in-law's death and became a bronze-clad woman!

No, there's so much she doesn't know about family matters!

Moreover, how could the eldest sister, Lin Hongmei, allow this "young mother" to meet Lulu? How could she be so careless?

Thinking of this, Lin Yurou put Lulu down, took her hand, and walked step by step towards the exit of the children's playground.

"Let's go home and find Mom."

Having gained a new understanding of her family, Lin Yurou decided to hurry home and ask Lin Hongmei what had happened in their family.

Thinking of Chu Yaqin, Mu Liuyun's face showed a depressed expression again.

They had already made everything so clear, yet Chu Yaqin still flirted with him as soon as they met. She's incredibly shameless.

However, he couldn't help but feel a bit of a tightness in his chest when he saw Chu Yaqin's dejected expression.
