Sheng Qian didn't stay long after finishing her meal. Sheng Guanhua stood outside the gate, watching the car drive away, feeling a little melancholy.
A hand rested on his shoulder, still slightly damp and refreshing. "Your sister treats you very well; she won't disown you."
Sheng Guanhua turned to look at her and said, "If my sister didn't acknowledge me, she wouldn't have prepared all this for me. Actually, my sister has known about her background for a long time, but I didn't realize it at all. Zhou Shi, do you think I haven't cared enough about my sister? I'm such a failure as her younger brother."
"Like tonight, I clearly have a lot to say to my sister, but I don't know what she's thinking, and I'm afraid that saying too much will reopen her wounds."
Zhou looked at him for a while and said, "Just be the same as before. I don't think your sister wants you to change much."
“If I stay the same as before, it will be too disgraceful. I used to think about going to university as soon as possible to help my sister, but then my sister got a husband to help her, and I had no place to use my skills.” What can he do for his sister now?
Zhou patiently said, "Perhaps your sister just wants you to take good care of yourself and not worry about anything else. For her, that's all she needs to do to help you."
Sheng Guanhua turned to look in that dark direction, "I really can't help at all."
The more he interacted with those people, the more he realized his own insignificance.
There are many things that he, an ordinary person, cannot help with.
“Guanhua…” Zhou Shi pressed down on his shoulder, looked at him, and wanted to say something.
Suddenly, Fang Runqing felt a tap on his back. He followed the gazes of the two people and asked, "What are you talking about?"
"He didn't say anything," Zhou Shi said, withdrawing his hand from Sheng Guanhua's shoulder.

Sheng Qian went to He Lan's house the next day.
After several phone calls, she knew that Xie Xiangyu genuinely wanted to see her.
After that incident, Sheng Qian had already come to terms with her identity in this era.
"Miss, you're back!"
The maid was overjoyed to see her and quickly took the gift box from Sheng Qian, saying, "You're back! The old lady and the others will be so happy!"
Are Grandma and the others home?
"I'm here! I'm here!"
As soon as Sheng Qian entered the main courtyard, she heard footsteps coming to greet her. Just as she reached the gate, she was embraced tightly by someone—it was Xie Xiangyu.
"Xiao Qian, you're finally back!"
"Yes, I'm back. How are you feeling?" Sheng Qian asked with concern, looking at Xie Xiangyu, whose eyes were red.
"I'm all better now, don't worry," Xie Xiangyu said. "Let me see if you've lost weight. You look a bit haggard. Did you not eat or sleep well in Haicheng? That won't do. Health is the foundation of everything. You can't neglect yourself."
“I didn’t lose out, it’s just that Haicheng was a bit chaotic a while ago, and our business was affected,” Sheng Qian said, supporting her. “Now everything has been dealt with, and I can finally take a good rest.”
"From what you're saying, it seems you'll be able to settle down in the capital!" Old Madam Helan said happily upon hearing this.
"Um!"
"Then can I spend more time with Mom from now on?" Xie Xiangyu was overjoyed to hear this!
“If nothing unexpected happens, I will stay in the capital for a while,” Sheng Qian added. “There is a wedding in Haicheng next month that I need to attend, so I will make a trip to the outer city.”
"As long as you can stay in the capital peacefully, Mom will be happy! Then you can live at home?" Xie Xiangyu really wanted Sheng Qian to live at home so they could see each other every day.
Sheng Qian said, "As you know, I'm married and have to take care of some businesses in the capital."
“It’s fine to come home and stay occasionally,” Madam Helan quickly added. “Not only your mother is looking forward to seeing you, but we are all looking forward to seeing you!”
Hearing this, Sheng Qian couldn't refuse, "Alright, I'll go home to stay occasionally."
"That's great! Then I'll have someone redecorate that room for you!" Xie Xiangyu gripped Sheng Qian's hand tightly, unable to contain her joy.
Sheng Qian wanted to refuse, but thinking that Xie Xiangyu also wanted to do something for her daughter, she nodded slightly.
Xie Xiangyu led people to tidy up the room, and while they were at it, Old Madam Helan took the opportunity to ask Sheng Qian, "Do you know anything about what Long Yunting has been doing in the capital?"
Sheng Qian was taken aback, not expecting that Old Madam Helan would ask such a question directly. Sheng Qian said, "I know, but he didn't mention it much."
Upon hearing this, Madam Helan knew that Sheng Qian was unaware of the S District, so she didn't bring it up further.
This matter is settled, and Sheng Qian should be properly protected.
They knew that Sheng Qian was capable, but they were unaware of her understanding of S District and her grudges.
"Didn't Long Yunting come back with you this time?"
"He will go out on a mission after the New Year."
When Long Yunting returned, he deliberately revealed that he could walk. Old Madam Helan saw this and guessed that there was another reason why he pretended to be in a wheelchair before.
Everyone in the capital is saying that the second young master of the Long family is ruined, and that his life will be like this forever.
Little did they know, Long Yunting was simply climbing the ranks in another way.
I'm afraid that from then on, his abilities and status will not only improve by one level.
"I won't be staying here for dinner tonight."
Knowing that she was going back to the Long family, Madam Helan didn't try to force her to stay for dinner. "You should at least have lunch at home," she said.
Sheng Qian nodded.
"Will you be back tonight?"
"I'll come back here to sleep tonight."
Madam Helan's smile brightened, and then she asked about Madam Ju.
Sheng Qian hadn't gone far from Helan's house when she saw someone in front of a restaurant. She stopped, and the person abandoned the others around him and walked towards her.
