"Do you think I wanted this? Back then... never mind, it was Senior Brother's fault."

Si Jiangyu wanted to say something, but seeing Si Jinyan crying so sadly, his heart softened immediately. He felt sorry for this junior sister, but sometimes his love was so deep that he hated her too much.

The thought of his precious child being bullied by the Jiang family made him lose his composure.

He was eleven years older than Si Jinyan. When they were first found, Si Jinyan carried him on his back and in his arms.

You could say he's like a father to her! What does "half a father" mean? It means he watched her grow up!

When they were young, Master Lingxu hired an aunt to take care of them; otherwise, given Master Lingxu's personality, how could he have taken such good care of them?

At that time, Lingxu Temple was quite popular, and people around the area would also donate money to help the orphans they adopted.

The government also provides some subsidies, and with compulsory education, and their good grades, they all made it all the way to university.

Many people have tried to adopt these children, but none of them want to leave; the five of them have a very close relationship.

But the junior sister is a traitor; when her family comes to pick her up, she happily runs off with them.

"It's my fault, don't cry." Si Jiangyu's voice softened when he saw that she was still crying.

A deep, resonant voice came from beside him. Si Jinyan raised his head slightly, his once bright eyes now red and swollen. He said in a tearful voice, "Senior Brother is right. It's my fault. I was a bit stupid."

Upon hearing her say this, Si Zhuoxi immediately comforted her, "No, no, it's just that the Jiang family is too wicked."

"Your senior brothers will work hard to earn money and will definitely avenge you in the future!" Si Jiangyu understood when he saw the look that Si Zhuoxi gave him.

In short, it's all the Jiang family's fault; Junior Sister was just too naive back then.

Si Jinyan asked cautiously, "Does Senior Brother still blame me?"

When she saw Si Jiangyu reach out his hand, she shrank back in fright.

"Sigh, it's not your fault." Seeing that she was actually so afraid of him, Si Jiangyu felt a pang of heartache.

Didn't he just slap her hand when they were kids?

Isn't it because I used to scold her a lot when she was little?

It's all her fault for being a picky eater, refusing to eat vegetables, and being so playful!

She accidentally stepped on the chicks raised in the Taoist temple, and secretly hid them in her basket. When she was discovered, she claimed that putting them in the basket would bring them back to life.

I have no idea what she was thinking at that time.

"My senior brothers are the best." Si Jinyan took out a tissue to wipe away her tears and finally smiled.

She never dared to speak to her senior brothers, for fear that they would blame her.

Moreover, when she returned, everyone had already gone to university. Because of her family background, she had become very humble and aloof, and even her closest senior classmates rarely spoke to her anymore.

They were probably angry at that time and were ignoring her.

As a result, she became increasingly indifferent and had no friends. Even though she was beautiful and had good grades, none of the boys in her class dared to pursue her.

Another reason is that she was an orphan who grew up in a Taoist temple, and her classmates called her Little Taoist Nun.

Everyone thought she had become a nun, and no one wanted to be her friend anymore.

Si Jinyan quickly returned to normal, and at this time, the dishes began to be served one after another.

There was a seven or eight-minute interval between each dish, and Si Jinyan didn't dare to say a word, just buried her head in her food.

Seeing this, Si Jiangyu took the initiative to ask, "Your college entrance exam scores are pretty good, right? Did you apply to Beijing University?"

Si Jinyan had a piece of steak in his mouth. When he heard his senior brother ask him a question, he quickly chewed it and swallowed it.

"698 points, that's for Beijing University."

Seeing that she was gulping it down, Si Zhuoxi immediately pushed a glass of juice over to her.

"Slow down," she said gently with concern.

"Thank you, Second Senior Brother." It feels so wonderful to have family. The more Si Jinyan thought about it, the more foolish he felt back then for abandoning his closest senior brothers.

"It seems the spanking I took as a child was worth it." Si Jiangyu suddenly felt that he had done the right thing back then. Otherwise, with his junior sister's playful nature, how could she have achieved such a top score?

"..." Si Jinyan was speechless for a moment, but she was indeed very grateful to her senior brother.

Although he's terrifying!

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother." Si Jinyan grinned, revealing eight teeth.

"At least you still have some conscience." He had to accept his junior sister's gratitude.

"But why aren't you eating vegetables?" Si Jiangyu pointed with his long, slender fingers to the plate in front of her, where all the green vegetables were left!

Si Jinyan was completely baffled; the vegetables tasted really strange.

"Ah, why do people eat things they don't like?" Si Jinyan muttered.

Under the pressure from his senior brother, he listlessly picked up the lettuce with a fork and even smelled it.

With a look of disgust, he said, "This tastes so strange."

Seeing this, Si Zhuoxi wrapped a piece of steak in a lettuce leaf for her, saying, "Eat it like this."

Junior Sister loves to eat meat, and practicing martial arts requires a lot of physical strength.

Si Jinyan picked up the lettuce ball wrapped around the steak with his fork, closed his eyes, and took a bite.

"Mmm, delicious!" His eyes lit up instantly, his eyes crinkled with laughter, and he looked completely satisfied.

Seeing her satisfied expression, Si Jiangyu couldn't help but admire Si Zhuoxi's thoughtfulness and attentiveness.

It can be said that the second senior brother is undoubtedly the other half of the father.

As for Jiang Feng from the Jiang family, he was just a tool to provide sperm.

"I'll take you out for barbecue next time, so you can eat both vegetables and meat." Si Zhuoxi was happy to see that she was satisfied.

Wrapped in this way, Si Jinyan finished the rest of the dishes.

A few small desserts were served after a while.

While Si Jinyan was enjoying his meal, Si Zhuoxi and Si Jiangyu began to discuss work.

"You look very tired lately. Have you encountered something difficult?" Si Zhuoxi noticed Si Jiangyu's fatigue as soon as he came in.

He was always meticulous. Among the five of them, Si Zhuoxi was like a gentle "mother," while Si Jiangyu was like a strict "father."

Si Jiangyu put down his cutlery and wiped his mouth, which was actually clean, with a tissue, his movements extremely elegant.

He gently pinched the bridge of his nose and asked, "Do you know about the Xiao family's heir?"

Si Zhuoxi shook his head. How could an actor like him know about such things concerning top-tier wealthy families?

“Two months ago, the heir of the Xiao family suddenly couldn’t stand up anymore. You know the hospital I work at is one of the top hospitals in China and abroad, but no one dared to say for sure what was wrong with his leg.” Si Jiangyu said, taking out his phone and showing a short video.

Si Zhuoxi took it. The image showed a pair of long, fair legs with beautifully defined muscles that were just right, not overly muscular.

"I can't see anything wrong with it." Si Zhuoxi handed it back after reading it, and when she did, the screen was facing Si Jinyan.
