Chapter 178: The Two Children

He sat by the bed and looked at the little girl for a long time before saying what he wanted to say.

“Baby, it’s all your brother’s fault. Your brother didn’t take good care of you.”

Lin Yiluo didn't quite understand, and Lin Yi'an didn't need him to understand.

He thought for a long time before asking again.

"Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

He asked the question very tactfully.

"Does your leg hurt?"

Mo Ziyuan adjusted the earpiece slightly, and now he could hear everything clearly. Although he was faking illness, Zhao Ming would send him information about everything that happened in the company. It was just a new product, and he could use it just by looking at his phone.

"My legs don't hurt, they're just a little uncomfortable."

Lin Yi-an felt a little relieved.

"It seems that Ziyuan still has some sense of propriety."

He asked some other questions, which Lin Yiluo answered obediently one by one.

Mo Ziyuan sat there listening with great interest; it seems he still has a lot to improve!

Having asked almost all the questions, Mo Ziyuan quickly adjusted his headphones, his game currently on the team matchmaking screen.

Lin Yi'an had no doubts and was still praising him for being well-behaved. Mo Ziyuan smiled slightly; he was indeed very well-behaved.

……………

Shi Jingsheng looked at his younger brother, who hadn't been home for a long time. It was clear that his father was truly biased, giving him two branch offices to practice on all at once. He must have trusted his illegitimate son far too much.

Shi Yan apologized to Old Master Shi.

"Grandpa, it's my fault. It's all my fault that this big thing happened."

He seemed very sincere, standing there with a slight bow.

Grandpa Shi was biased; he always favored Jing Sheng. He also knew why Jing Sheng stayed, so of course he wouldn't let the opportunity pass him by.

He looked at the child in front of him. He had known about this illegitimate child since he was born, but his son had been bewitched by that mistress. Otherwise, the old man would not have let this illegitimate child live until now.

Old Master Shi: "Shi Yan, you know how much trouble you've caused. The fact that Mo Xiao is a member of the Mo family is the only reason this matter has been barely resolved. Otherwise, do you think the Mo family head would have let you off the hook?"

The Shi family began to decline during your father's generation. If it weren't for your brother, do you think the Shi family would still exist today?

Shi Yan glanced at his father, thinking he would speak up for him, but the head of the Shi family did not. Old Master Shi was right; this was no longer the Shi family of the past. The entire family was gradually changing hands, and he, the head of the family, was becoming an empty shell.

Grandpa Shi waved his hand at Shi Yan.

"We have several branches overseas. Go and take a look. You don't need to worry about things in the domestic area anymore."

Shi Yan looked completely incredulous.

"What about my company in China?"

"If it's in China, just let it go. Someone will keep an eye on it for you."

Shi Yan finally understood; it turned out they wanted to make an exchange with him.

He laughed self-deprecatingly. He still remembered how he looked when he first came back. He was the center of attention, and everyone was trying to curry favor with him. He was even more popular than Shi Jingsheng.

But later he understood why so many people fawned over him: it was because they couldn't curry favor with Shi Jingsheng, so they had to settle for second best.

At that time, he was filled with hatred for Shi Jingsheng and wanted to compete with him in everything. But he could never beat Shi Jingsheng. The people around him said that it was because Shi Jingsheng had been to that island that he wanted to go there too. But now all that was left on that island were piles of corpses.

He also tried to build one just like that island, and he succeeded. His Shi family had the capability. However, problems arose on his very first day on the island. He had underestimated everything; he broke two ribs and even fractured his leg.

He might have died there if his bodyguard hadn't found him in time.

"Since Grandpa wants me to go abroad, then I'll go."

Shi Jingsheng was laughing there.

"Shi Yan, this is giving you a chance. I've seen the performance of your two branch offices. I'm not one to mince words, but you didn't do a very good job with either of them."

Shi Yan's hand, hanging to one side, slowly tightened. He was right, his performance was indeed not very good, but he had clearly tried his best, so why couldn't he compare to him?

Shi Jingsheng knew he was unconvinced and what he was thinking, but he thought it was a bit presumptuous of him to compare himself to him.

The wind picked up outside, and it was so strong. He didn't want to stay here anymore; he wanted to go home, back to the home they all shared.

"Grandpa, it's windy outside, it looks like it's going to rain, so I'll head back now."

Grandpa Shi sounded a little anxious.

“Go back? It’s so late, where do you want to go back to? Since you’re here, why don’t you keep this old man company?”

"Grandpa, Father is here with you. Ziyuan and the others are waiting for me to have dinner at home. I'll come another day."

When Jing Sheng got home, he realized he had overthought things. Were the three of them waiting for him to eat?

Lin Yi'an and the two children had already started eating. He sat between them and occasionally served them food.

Shi Jingsheng leaned over for a look and saw that Ziyuan's plate was filled with all the dishes he liked. He became suspicious and looked at Lin Yi'an with a hint of inquiry.

"Why are you looking at me? Go wash your hands and eat."

Hearing him say this, Shi Jingsheng became even more suspicious. Was Yi An really that kind?

Lin Yi'an suddenly understood why he was looking at him, and he immediately put his arm around Mo Ziyuan's arm.

"This is my younger brother, you know?"

Shi Jingsheng lost his curiosity. He was really crazy. What was he up to now?

At the dinner table, Lin Yi'an was so gentle, so incredibly gentle. He never expected to be so gentle with Ziyuan.

"Yi'an, have you been possessed?"

Lin Yi'an wanted to curse him.

"You're the one who's been possessed."

"So what are you up to now?"

"Can't you tell? I'm taking care of my younger siblings!"

Younger siblings? A thought suddenly popped into Shi Jingsheng's mind.

Could it be that Lin Yi'an found out, and that's why he not only found out but also agreed to be so good to Ziyuan?

He glanced at Ziyuan, but Mo Ziyuan ignored him and instead looked at Lin Yi'an with a grin.

"Brother Yi'an, I want to eat that dish again."

"Okay, brother will get you some."
