However, He's mother managed to restrain herself. She went to the kitchen under the pretense of serving dishes, and He Chen immediately followed her in, leaving He Jing to go find He Yuan and find out what was going on.
He Yuan did not deny it, and said directly, "Yes, Mom and Xiaoyi have met."
He Jing sighed softly, "Oh, no wonder."
She is, after all, her own biological daughter. It's not right for her to keep thinking about her adopted daughter.
He Yuan, deep in thought, lowered his eyes and patted her head. He said slowly and earnestly, "Jingjing, you will have everything that others have."
Even maternal love.
He wouldn't allow her to live with any regrets.
He Jing paused, suddenly unsure how to answer. He Yuan was simply too good, so good that she was speechless. She couldn't help but give him a hug, then caught a glimpse of He Yi behind the crack in the room. She remembered something she'd wanted to tell He Yuan for a long time, but hadn't had a chance to. She straightened up and asked:
"Big brother, what about fifth brother?"
He Yuan: "?"
Because He Jing changed the subject so quickly, He Yuan didn't even have time to react.
After understanding whose business He Jing was discussing with him, he frowned and replied, "I'll leave the fifth one alone for now. He'll come to me himself if he needs anything."
Fifth Brother is thin-skinned.
"But he wouldn't risk his future."
Furthermore, they are a family.
It's only natural for family members to help each other; he didn't believe He Yi couldn't even understand this simple principle.
Now that He Chen is famous, He Ning has joined the provincial team, He Zhou has joined the Chinese Culinary Association, and He Sui has won an award, only he is left without any success. His heart is probably not as calm as it appears, and he will soon become restless.
Hearing He Yuan say this, He Jing finally felt relieved. She smiled and called out towards He Yi's room, "Fifth Brother."
He Yi, who was behind the door, suddenly trembled and hurriedly closed the door.
He stood behind the door and patted his chest, where his heart was pounding.
He didn't know why he would act this way whenever He Jing noticed him; it was probably because... he felt he was not worthy of being He Jing's brother.
He didn't know when it started, but he had grown far apart from everyone in his family. His brothers seemed to have been possessed by a ghost, and they all became successful, while he remained a useless person stuck in the same place.
Is he really worthy of being He Jing's brother, being so weak?
Even He Jing herself is so outstanding.
Okay, he doesn't deserve it.
Having come to this conclusion, he didn't even want to go out for meals anymore.
He turned around and looked at the sketches on the table. Before He Jing came home, he had been full of hope and anticipation, wanting to show these sketches to her. Now, he just saw them as a pile of garbage, not a single one worthy of his attention... This was him...
"Knock knock—"
The door suddenly made two noises.
He Jing's voice, though separated by only a door, seemed almost within reach: "Fifth Brother, may I come in?"
He Yi's heart skipped a beat again, and he was completely at a loss: "Wait...wait a minute."
He quickly gathered up all the sketches he had prepared to give to He Jing, stuffed them into the wastebasket under the table, then opened the door, feigning composure: "Is there something you need?"
Seeing He Yi's evasive gaze, He Jing blinked, then blinked again: "Fifth Brother, I saw you peeking at me through the crack in the door just now, so I came here specifically to let you see if I've become more handsome."
