"Fourth brother, have you stopped contacting my aunt and her family since they moved out?" Xiaobao asked. "You haven't even sent any WeChat messages?"
Lu Jiaming laughed and said, "We didn't have cell phones back then, Xiaobao. Every family used landlines. Plus, our relationship was so strained that we basically lost contact after they left."
"Let's put aside the rest," Lu Zixiao said solemnly, "Yang Feng said that Ziyi's injuries and high fever were not caused by him, but he refused to tell the truth."
"If that's true, then is there some hidden story behind those childhood events?"
"That's even more unclear," Lu Jiayang said. "There was no surveillance back then, and many things were spread by word of mouth. Even if Yang Feng wanted to clear his name, he wouldn't have found any evidence."
"No, they're not all rumors," Lu Jiaming said. "What I said the other day was basically what I saw. It can't be false."
"But Yang Feng also said something," Xiao Bao thought for a moment, "He said that people are willing to believe what they see, and as for the truth, no one will take the time to understand it."
The room suddenly became quiet, and everyone had a different expression, as if they were thinking about something.
"Even though he said that... I still can't trust him because of this," Lu Jiaming still told the truth, "There are still many things about him that make people suspicious."
"I agree," Lu Jiayang nodded. "If he's really not a bad guy, there's plenty of time for him to prove it in the future, but I think we still need to be on guard against him now."
"Right, right, right," Lu Yuxuan said, "He has a bad temper and is even scarier than Fourth Brother. We should avoid contact with him to avoid suffering any misfortune."
Lu Zixiao hummed, "Just observe slowly. Talk less unless necessary, and be more cautious when necessary. Xiaobao, try not to be alone with him. Got it?"
"Okay," Xiaobao replied obediently, "I'll listen to my brother."
Lu Ziyi, who had been silent, responded with a smile: "I will listen to you too."
"Brother, we're not afraid of anything else, but we're afraid that you'll be soft-hearted." Lu Jiayang sighed, "Forget about being soft-hearted, but the main thing is that we're afraid that you'll get hurt again."
"No," Lu Ziyi smiled and comforted him, "Although I really don't remember what happened that day, I'm not that little kid anymore. I still have the basic judgment and ability to protect myself."
"That's right," Lu Jiayang said, "Then I feel relieved."
After this incident was over, the moon was already high in the sky. After everyone washed up and returned to the house, Lu Zixiao pressed his aching temple and picked up his mobile phone. There were several unread messages from Lin Ze on it.
He took a quick look and saw that they were all daily sharing. He didn't reply to those messages and directly sent a new one.
[Lu Zixiao: My head has been aching these past couple of days. I don’t know what’s wrong.]
【Lin Ze: Are you looking for the old man?】
【Lu Zixiao: ...Go to sleep! 】
Lin Ze: Sorry, sorry. I was just helping my dad check the accounts and didn’t see clearly.
[Lin Ze: (Please forgive me.jpg)]
