At the end of the afternoon, Xiao Rui walked into the office with a lunch box.

"Boss Yao, Boss Mo, I saw Madam He in the underground garage."

Zhen Mozhao paused as he signed.

"Aunt Qing is alone?" Baili Xiyao glanced at Zhen Mozhao.

"And Miss Crane"

Zhen Mozhao put down his pen and looked up at Xiao Rui, "Take them to Wangyuexuan, I'll be there in a while."

"Yes," Xiao Rui left.

"Baby, have you made up your mind?" Baili Xiyao stepped forward and held Zhen Mozhao's hand, and found that his palms were sweaty and his knuckles were cold.

"I haven't thought about it yet, but like Xixi said, maybe I'll figure it out after a chat," Zhen Mozhao smiled faintly, withdrew his hand from hers, picked up the pen and signed the last document.

"I'm just hungry, baby, do you mind if I go and have a meal with you~"

Baili Xiyao leaned on the chair with both hands and spoke like a rogue.

"It's my honor," Zhen Mozhao said, looking up and smiling at Baili Xiyao.

Moon-Watching Pavilion, Autumn Moon Hall.

Rui Qing paced back and forth nervously, which made He Yishuang, who was sitting, look extremely calm.

"Mom, don't go. I'm dizzy from the shaking."

"He Yishuang!"

"Okay, okay, go ahead," He Yishuang turned her head and stared at the closed door. In fact, she was a little nervous.

This biological brother, whom she had only seen at Aunt Wen's birthday party, looked delicate and handsome, even prettier than her mother. He had a gentle and obedient personality and seemed to be in poor health. She was afraid that she would not be able to control her excitement and scare him.

Squeak~

The door was pushed open, and Zhen Mozhao's handsome face appeared in front of He Yishuang. Rui Qing, who was pacing, also stopped, and her eyes were wet when she saw Zhen Mozhao for the first time.

Rui Qing hurried forward, his steps staggering a little.

She stood in front of Zhen Mozhao, wanting to reach out and hug him, but was afraid that he would resist or dislike her.

"Aunt Qing," Baili Xiyao walked out from behind Zhen Mozhao and called out, then turned his head to look at He Yishuang who stood up behind Rui Qing, "Sister Yishuang."

He Yishuang nodded in response, stepped forward and put her arm around Rui Qing's shoulders, saying softly, "Mom, sit down and talk."

Zhen Mozhao held Baili Xiyao's hand and did not let go even after they sat down.

Baili Xiyao knew that he was nervous, but she couldn't say much in this situation. She could only rub that hand, silently telling Zhen Mozhao that she was there.

"How have you been these years?"

After a long silence, Rui Qing finally couldn't help but speak first.

"Very good," Zhen Mozhao lowered his eyes, "You have already found out what happened back then, right?"

"Well, I..."

"I know what you want. I can go back to the He family, but I need the He family to agree to one condition."

Rui Qing didn't react to the official tone for a moment and stared at him blankly.

"What are the conditions?" He Yishuang asked.

"I want to use the He family to destroy Zhen Linye, but I don't want outsiders to know what happened back then and what Xu Yun did."

He Yishuang was puzzled, "If it wasn't Xu Yun, you..."

"These are the conditions for me to return to the He family. Contact me when you have made up your mind. I have something else to do, so I'm leaving first." Zhen Mozhao left his personal mobile phone number on the table, stood up, and took Baili Xiyao away.

His hurried steps revealed his inner unrest.

He Yishuang stared thoughtfully at Zhen Mozhao's departing back until the figure disappeared, then she turned back to look at the sticky note on the table.

This number doesn't match the information I found...

Suddenly, He Yishuang chuckled and cursed in a low voice: "Stinky boy!"

Turning around and seeing Rui Qing's tearful eyes, she comforted her, "Mom, don't be sad, my brother has already agreed to come home."

"Um?"

"My brother had actually already decided to go back to the He family when he asked Xiao Rui to bring us here. However, we have never been around him before, so it's impossible for us to get familiar with each other right away. If we meet, you might burst into tears again. Rather than leaving him with no idea how to cope, why not find another way to recognize him as a relative? For example, use the He family to destroy Zhen Linye. Although I don't know why my brother hates Zhen Linye, if he hates him so much, then Zhen Linye must be no good!"

Hearing the words "Then this Zhen Linye is definitely not a good person", Rui Qing felt inexplicably nervous.

"Mom, be good and stop crying. If you cry your eyes are swollen, I will have another fight with your husband." He Yishuang wiped the tears from the corners of Rui Qing's eyes.

Rui Qing glanced at her when she heard that, but her tears stopped when she was interrupted. She looked at the empty table and stood up suddenly, "Mo Zhao hasn't eaten yet."

"Don't worry, my brother has Xiyao with him, he won't be hungry." He Yishuang was speechless. Her mother's reaction was too slow. If her brother was really here, he would have starved to death by the time her mother reacted and ordered food.

He Yishuang simply ordered a few dishes and had dinner with Rui Qing. Then she called He Xiao and He Yiling to explain the situation. She had thought that she and Rui Qing would stay and sort it out before returning to the imperial capital. However, after hearing what she had heard, the father and son wanted to come to Licheng in person. He Yishuang could only ask them not to be radical, otherwise if they scared their brother away, their mother would cry again.

On the other side, Zhen Mozhao took Baili Xiyao to the restaurant on the top of the mountain.

The nights in early winter get dark early. After the two of them had their meal in silence, Zhen Mozhao took Baili Xiyao to a hillside.

"Xixi, should I not have said that?" I looked up at the sky. It was pitch black with only a few stars.

"There's no right or wrong. Baby did a great job. If it were me, I might not even handle it as well as you did," Baili Xiyao replied gently, gazing at his profile that was looking at the sky.

"What happened back then was all caused by Xu Yun's selfish thoughts. I should hate her."

Zhen Mozhao's voice was a little vague, as if he was reminiscing. "Xu Yun actually never betrayed her marriage to Zhen Linye. It was just that Zhen Linye didn't believe it and stubbornly believed that I was the child of Xu Yun's infidelity. It was also from that time that Xu Yun's and my life changed drastically. During that time, Xu Yun had already paid the price for her selfish thoughts, so I don't want to hate her. This time, I want the He family to erase Xu Yun's role in it, and I just want to give the late Xu Yun some dignity."

"I know," Baili Xiyao pulled him into his arms, letting him rest his head on his shoulder, and responded softly, "Baby, based on my understanding of the He family, I guess you'll be able to see Uncle He and Brother Yiling tomorrow."

"Hmm?" Zhen Mozhao looked up from her arms, puzzled.

"Brother Yiling is more anxious than Uncle He to bring your brother home. He has wanted a cute little brother for a long time." She remembered that when several families got together to play, the younger generations had a fight. In the end, He Yiling was defeated by He Yishuang and was pinned to the ground. She still remembers that scene vividly.

"Soft, soft and cute?", that shouldn't be me, I'm the cool one...

Zhen Mozhao pondered in his heart.

He didn't notice at all that his depressed and confused thoughts had been diverted by Baili Xiyao's words.
