Chapter 424 Even if it's just to protect me and my parents, my brother has no choice but to stand his ground!
That evening, having once again found nothing, the An family returned to Shuncheng.
It wasn't that they didn't want An Songyu to stay any longer.
But they have another important thing to do tomorrow!
The next morning, while An Songyu and An Jianguo were still in the car, they pressed them again:
"Ah Ling said that not only she will be coming, but her own brother will also be coming?"
An Songyu nodded again as he drove.
The An Jianguo brothers, who had never met Ah Ling's brother but had heard many rumors about him, couldn't help but discuss the arrangements for the day in the car.
As An Songyu listened, he was also impressed by the dedication of his three uncles.
When she arrived at the scene, she found that the atmosphere was not much better than that of An Jianguo and the other two.
An Songyu was a little puzzled. Back when Grandpa Ling and the others came, everyone didn't seem to be this nervous!
"Maybe it's because the process took too long? Everyone was already fully prepared!" Jian Ziyu said with a smile as he walked up to his girlfriend.
"Was there not enough time to prepare this time?" An Songyu was still very puzzled.
After all, the date for raising the roof beam had been set for a long time!
"But I hadn't heard that Brother Ling was coming!" Wang Henian said, a little nervously.
"Moreover, you can tell from what Ah Ling says that although she respects the elders in the family, she is closer to her brother."
"So when Brother Ling came to the scene, it was naturally more nerve-wracking than when his elders came."
All right!
An Songyu also had to acknowledge everyone's thoughts.
Just then, Ah Ling's call came in.
Unlike their elders who liked to surprise them, Ah Ling and her brother received a phone call before they even left the house.
Moreover, she could hear the excitement in Ah Ling's tone.
After hanging up the phone, An Songyu also notified the others.
Everyone was on edge when Ah Ling arrived.
Ah Ling was a very beautiful girl, and An Songyu had imagined what her older brother would be like.
Because I would occasionally hear Ah Ling mention that he was involved in various competitions within the company and his family.
An Songyu had always had a vague feeling that even if he wasn't a particularly serious person, he should still be quite meticulous.
But when An Songyu actually saw what the other person looked like...
That young face that didn't seem much older than An Songlin's, and the way he protected Ah Ling when getting out of the car.
After getting off the bus, they greeted them naturally, thanks to Ah Ling's introduction.
However, they were somewhat taken aback.
When Ah Ling saw An Songyu staring blankly, she knew what An Songyu was thinking.
She walked over, took An Songyu's arm, and asked with a hint of mischief, "What, do you think my brother is too unexpected?"
An Songyu nodded directly.
But seeing her agreeing expression, Ah Ling felt a little melancholy: "My brother is not someone who is willing to participate in those competitions."
"But who can blame him for being so smart!"
“For families like ours, it’s not a matter of whether you want to get involved, but whether you have the capacity to be guarded against and ostracized.”
"When it comes to the position of heir, there is no such thing as not vying for it!"
"With my brother's personality and abilities, he could live a good life even without all of this."
"But my parents and I don't have that ability, so even in order to protect my parents and me, my brother has no choice but to stand his ground!"
Seeing Ah Ling's unusually downcast appearance.
An Songyu couldn't help but think of the days before and after her rebirth.
Although their lives have undergone earth-shattering changes since their rebirth compared to before, their lives have changed dramatically since their rebirth.
But even before her rebirth, neither her parents nor Jian Ziyu had ever made her suffer.
That's probably just like what Ah Ling said, it's her brother's mentality!
This is probably why An Songyu, since her rebirth, hasn't specifically thought about what she should do.
For her, living and working hard with her family has always been her pursuit!
“Perhaps… for your brother, if you are doing well, he will be doing well too; if you are happy, he will be happy!” An Songyu was somewhat dazed, unsure whether she was speaking to A-Ling or to herself.
But Ah Ling's brother, who was walking ahead of the two and listening attentively to An Jianguo and the others, showed a subtle change in his expression.
He glanced behind him discreetly, and seeing his sister deep in thought, his expression softened even more.
His intelligence and talent have always been a source of pride and guilt for his family.
They are proud of his excellence.
He also felt guilty because their existence forced him into a predicament of being held back.
But for him, without family, he wouldn't have everything he has now.
He didn't really like these struggles and competitions.
But I've never been afraid!
He has no regrets about being passively drawn into everything now.
He didn't feel sad that his family members couldn't compete with him like other members of the family.
Because he has always had the purest family affection that many of his peers don't have.
That was a unique kind of affection that was rare even among his peers, friends, and classmates.
However, as the struggle became increasingly difficult, his family members always felt ashamed of him and forced themselves to find solutions.
This made him even more worried, but he didn't know how to relieve it.
Originally, he was already happy that Ah Ling hadn't actively gotten involved in the center of the storm and had taken on the task at the old house.
The old house unexpectedly pleased the elders in the family.
He was actually more worried about the fact that the elders paid more attention to the matter of the brother and sister.
But this was the result of his sister's special efforts, so he couldn't refuse.
Just as he wanted to protect his family, his family also wanted to help him.
He would rather his family accept it happily than feel pressured to accept it because they are worried about him, even if they receive the best of everything.
That's why he made a special trip today to come and see the event with his sister.
But unexpectedly, I heard the words of the girl that my sister had always liked and admired.
That was something he had always wanted to tell his family, especially his sister.
No matter what he said, his words still caused his family to worry.
“But if we hadn’t held him back, he definitely wouldn’t have had such a difficult time!” Ah Ling replied softly after a long while.
An Songyu pondered for a moment before saying, "Ah Ling, no path in life is completely smooth."
"No matter what choices you make, you will gain something and lose something."
"So we can only look at what we want and what we care about."
"If I'm satisfied with myself, that's enough!"
"Will there be gains and losses in everything?" Ah Ling subconsciously stopped and looked at An Songyu.
An Songyu nodded affirmatively and said, "Because many things are inherently full of contradictions."
"We can only choose a part of it!"
"Regardless of whether this choice comes from our own will or from external forces, the result will be the same!"
