"Hehe..." He Zongkun grinned smugly.
He has worked so hard over the years, just to get praise from his elder brother when they meet!
"Brother, praise me more. I love to hear you praise me."
He Zongyan: "...Is it too late for me to take back the compliment I just gave you?"
"It's too late. I've already accepted your compliment."
The two brothers did not seem to be at all distant from each other after not seeing each other for many years. They chatted familiarly and occasionally joked with each other. They went into He Zongkun's study together, and the younger brother was busy making a cup of He Zongyan's favorite black tea for his elder brother.
"Brother, why are you coming here in the middle of the night? Is there something urgent?" He Zongkun finally asked the question in his mind.
He Zongyan held the teacup in his hand, watching the rising mist. The restlessness in his heart gradually subsided, and he suddenly stopped being anxious.
"Nothing important." He said casually, "I've been back for quite a while now, and I haven't seen you yet. I couldn't wait to come here while I had some free time."
He Zongkun smiled happily. Although he didn't quite believe what his elder brother said, he was still happy about his elder brother's attitude.
"Oh right..." He Zongkun suddenly paused, his expression becoming more serious. "I heard from people that you've changed a lot, Big Brother. I was very nervous at first... But now it seems that you're simply not close to Sisi?"
When the eldest brother came back and arranged for someone to pick up his niece, he also arranged for someone to send her back. He heard from the people who came back that the eldest brother didn't show any emotion at all when he saw his biological daughter. This might be the change that the old man had mentioned.
But now it seems that there has been a change, but it has not reached the point where he is cold to his relatives.
He Zongkun looked at He Zongyan carefully, from his eyebrows to his expression, and compared it with his memory again. He was very sure in his heart that his elder brother's attitude towards Sisi was very unusual.
He Zongyan didn't deny it, but asked casually: "Did you investigate thoroughly when you brought Sisi back?"
He Zongkun was so frightened that he almost slipped off his chair. "Brother, are you kidding me? Who dares to pretend to be your daughter? No, wait... There's no way we can mistake the bloodline of the He family. Even if I make a mistake, we still have the old man!"
The esoteric family is not an ordinary family and has its own unique set of identification methods.
"Brother, what are you thinking? Are you suspecting me of something? How could I? You are being very hurtful."
"No, I want to believe you."
"Then...then why would you have such thoughts?" Oh my God! Shouldn't a normal man be happy when he sees his biological daughter whom he hasn't seen for more than ten years? Big brother is really weird.
He Zongkun looked at his elder brother with suspicion.
"I can't explain it, it's just a hunch." He Zongyan thought of the time he spent with Wanwan, and his icy expression finally softened a bit. He said in a nostalgic tone, "I didn't know Wanwan was pregnant before I went to the battlefield. If I had known, I would have given her an identity first to ensure that she and the child would have a worry-free life for the rest of their lives."
He Zongkun was stunned, feeling that something was wrong, but the thought flashed through his mind so quickly that he couldn't catch it for a while.
"By the way, I heard that in recent years, it has always been the third brother who accompanied Sisi to visit her in the mountains?" He Zongyan asked the purpose of coming here tonight.
"Right!" He Zongkun told the whole story, and finally sighed: "I was always wary of the third brother, but later I found that he really has reformed, and he is really kind to Sisi from the bottom of his heart. He has been very honest over the years."
