Xue Huanyu did not tell the truth, just shook his head and went upstairs.

She walked to the door of Xue Jiayu's room and begged Xue Jiayu to come out and pay attention to her through the door.

"Sister, you are my biological child, and I was adopted. You don't understand how much I fear being abandoned, so I took advantage of you. I am wrong, and I deserve to die. Can you please not be angry with me?"

There was no movement in the room. Xue Huanyu bit her lower lip and said with determination: "Sister, if you really don't want to see me again. Then I will tell the truth to my parents, and they will be angry and drive me away."

After saying this, without waiting for Xue Jiayu's reaction, Xue Huanyu turned around and was about to leave, making a loud noise by stomping on the floor.

Xue Jiayu finally opened the door, "Wait a minute!"

Xue Huanyu turned around happily when she heard the voice and said, "Sister, you really still can't bear to part with me."

Xue Jiayu sighed in her heart. She was reluctant to let Xue Huanyu go and only hoped that her repeated forgiveness could earn Xue Huanyu's true heart.

"I won't tell Mom and Dad about this, but if it happens again, Xiaoyu, my patience will not be without limits."

"I know!"

Xue Huanyu trotted over and hugged her, buried his head in her neck, and acted coquettishly against her shoulders.

"Sister, I know you love Xiaoyu the most."

“…I can’t do anything about you.”

Xue Jiayu patted her on the back and said, "Let's go downstairs and have breakfast. Mom must have been scared just now."

Seeing the two sisters coming down hand in hand, Jiang Qiuyi teased, "Oh, you've made up so quickly? You two sisters are really like playing around when you have conflicts."

"We were just joking." Xue Jiayu pulled Xue Huanyu into the kitchen to help Jiang Qiuyu.

After lunch, Xue Wangjun and Jiang Qiuyu planned to take their two children for a walk nearby. Just as they were about to go out, the landline at home suddenly rang wildly.

Xue Wangjun waved his hand to signal them to wait in the car first, and he would come after he answered the phone.

"Hello? Who is this?"

"Third brother, have you forgotten your family?"

Upon hearing this rough voice, Xue Wangjun was indeed stunned, and it took him a long time to react.

“Brother?!”

"You have a conscience, and you haven't completely forgotten me!"

The person on the other end of the phone was Xue Wangjun's cousin Xue Mingliang, who was within five generations of Xue Wangjun. The Xue family was a large and close-knit family in the local area. Later, when Xue Wangjun went to the city to do business, they gradually became estranged.

"Brother! Why did you suddenly remember to call me?"

"To be honest, I, your elder brother, have run into some problems. Now I have come to the city to seek refuge with you. Will you take me in?"

Xue Wangjun was stunned. We're already in the city? This is too sudden!

When the other party heard that he hesitated, he immediately became unhappy.

"Why, do you dislike your elder brother?"

"Of course not. Big brother, where are you? I'm coming to pick you up."

"At the bus station, please hurry up, I'm carrying a lot of things and can't stand for too long."

"Okay."

Xue Wangjun quickly changed his schedule and asked Xu Suzhen to prepare more delicious food at home as Xue Mingliang was coming.

"He's coming?"

Xu Suzhen was also a little surprised. She hadn't seen people from her hometown for so long. When she heard that they were coming, she felt something was wrong.

Jiang Qiuyi felt the same way. "Xue Mingliang and I only met once when we got married, and I rarely heard you mention him. How is your relationship?"

“We have a good relationship!”

Xue Wangjun scratched his head. "He has taken me everywhere to play since I was little. I used to be small, and everyone bullied me. It was my big brother who protected me. Otherwise, I would have been beaten up long ago."

"So that's how it is."

Jiang Qiuyi couldn't help laughing. She didn't expect her husband to have such a glorious history. "Then let's bring him over. We'll treat him well and help him with any difficulties."

"I always say that my wife is more sensible." Xue Wangjun put his arm around Jiang Qiuyu's waist and kissed her on the face, causing the two children to cover their faces at the same time.

"Old Xue!"

Jiang Qiuyu patted his arm unhappily and glanced at the two children shyly.

"Don't you see the kids are still here!"

Xue Wangjun said with a playful smile, "Just see it, it's evidence that my parents have a good relationship."

"you--!"

Jiang Qiuyi pushed him out coquettishly, "Hurry up and pick them up. If you're late, your elder brother will scold you again."

"Wife, I'm going!"

Xue Wangjun drove straight to the bus station and saw Xue Mingliang at the entrance of the train station.

He was wearing a tattered cotton jacket and there were three or four snakeskin bags at his feet.

As soon as he saw Xue Wangjun, Xue Mingliang punched him directly, hitting him in the chest as if jokingly.

"You came pretty fast, kid."

"Brother asked me to pick it up, so I had to come quickly. What's up, brother? The things are here, shall we go?"

"Okay. Let's go."

Xue Wangjun loaded Xue Mingliang's luggage into the car and picked up one of them, feeling something was wrong.

"Brother, what did you put in here? It's so heavy."

"They are all pots, pans, and some soaps, which are necessary for bathing. If you buy them outside, they are very expensive, so I better bring them myself."

Xue Wangjun was stunned. "Brother, are you planning to settle down in the city?"

He thought Xue Mingliang's "difficulties" were related to money, so he could just give him money to solve the problem, but now it seems that his brother wants something else.

"Ah." Xue Mingliang sighed, "It's hard to explain right now. Let's go home first. I took a bus from the village last night and have been waiting to call you until now. I haven't eaten a single bite."

"Let's go! My mom has prepared dinner at home and is waiting for you."

Xue Mingliang was sitting in Xue Wangjun's car and was very emotional. "Back then you were just a little kid playing behind me, but now you drive such a nice car."

After Xue Wangjun got married, Xue Mingliang left the village to work. He didn't even attend Xue Jiayu's full moon banquet and first birthday party. He only heard from the villagers that Xue Wangjun's business was very big.

"Brother, what happened to you? Can you tell me so I can know how to help you?"

Xue Mingliang sighed, "It's all my son's fault."

"What's wrong with him?"

"This brat gambled away all his family fortune, even his old house, to someone else."

"What?!"

Xue Wangjun almost stepped on the accelerator, "Where is he now?"

"He's still being held captive in the casino. Those bastards said they'd kill him if he didn't pay."

Xue Mingliang shook his head, "I really want them to just kill him.

But I couldn't bear to let him go, because he was my only child. I had no choice but to go out and earn money to redeem my son."

Xue Wangjun saw that he had sunken eye sockets and a pale face. He looked about the same age as himself but had a head of white hair. He knew that his life was not easy.

So Xue Wangjun felt compassion.

"Brother, how much money does your son owe the casino?"
