Qian Chengfeng and Qian Chengyi grew up together and had a deep bond. He even always played the role of a father to his younger brother.
Qian Chengfeng may not care about his father, but he absolutely cannot ignore his younger brother, who he considers his only family in the world. Therefore, he will spare no effort to save his brother.
After meeting his younger brother, he learned that the matter was related to the Huo family.
He never expected his younger brother to go against the Huo family for his sake. Although he was angry, he couldn't blame him.
Even though they know about this, the Huo family can exonerate themselves completely; they must have done something to do so.
However, he not only cannot completely break ties with the Huo family, but also has to personally go to their door to apologize, expressing his remorse for almost hurting Huo Jinxin.
But in reality, he knew in his heart that there was no going back.
Huo Nanchu had long been wary of him, but he was unaware of when he had given himself away.
Qian Chengfeng frowned, closed his eyes tightly, and kept recalling the past, trying to find a clue in the sea of memories to find out when Huo Nanchu discovered him.
He knew that he had his share of ulterior motives, but he had always been confident that he had done it perfectly and without any flaws.
But now it seems that something went wrong, which allowed Huo Nanchu to discover his secret.
Upon careful consideration, Qian Chengfeng realized that the only thing that might arouse suspicion was the incident in the eastern suburbs. However, he had not personally participated in it at the time; everything was handled by Zhao Ziheng.
Logically speaking, such an arrangement should not arouse any suspicion from anyone.
But now, the facts are clear: Huo Nanchu has obviously begun to doubt him.
This made him ponder deeply: what exactly caused this result?
Could there be something else that Huo Nanchu has discovered?
Or perhaps someone deliberately betrayed him to Huo Nanchu?
A series of questions welled up in Qian Chengfeng's mind, making him feel confused and uneasy.
With this in mind, Qian Chengfeng decided to carefully review his actions once again, hoping to find that key breakthrough and unravel the mystery.
"Mr. Qian, we've arrived." Just as Qian Chengfeng was lost in thought, the driver gently reminded him.
"Okay, sure," Qian Chengfeng replied, and prepared to get out of the car.
"Mr. Qian, shall I take you inside?" the driver said worriedly, seeing that Qian Chengfeng looked somewhat drunk.
"No need, I'm fine. Thank you for your hard work. Go back and get some rest." Qian Chengfeng waved his hand and then staggered into the residential area.
The driver watched his retreating figure helplessly until it was completely out of sight, then sighed and drove away.
...
"Wake up, Mr. Qian, what are you doing here?" Princess asked, her brows furrowed as she looked at the man lying on the ground.
She had just finished work and returned home when she saw a man in a white shirt sitting at her door.
At first, the princess was a little scared, after all, she had become extra vigilant since the last incident.
It's so late now, and suddenly seeing a strange man at your doorstep is definitely unsettling.
However, when she got closer and took a closer look, she realized that the person was actually Qian Chengfeng.
He reeked of alcohol and was clearly drunk to the point of unconsciousness.
"Mom, you've come to see me. I failed to protect my little brother. Mom, are you here to scold me? What should I do?..."
Qian Chengfeng opened his eyes groggily, looking at the princess in front of him with eyes full of grievance and self-blame.
He held the princess tightly, as if she were his own mother, his eyes glistening with tears, as he recounted the story of Qian Chengyi.
The princess's body stiffened instantly. She tried to explain, "Mr. Qian, you've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not..."
However, Qian Chengfeng ignored her words and continued to immerse himself in his own emotions.
"Mom, are you blaming me too? You don't even want to acknowledge me anymore? Mom, don't worry, I will rescue my brother. It's my fault, it's my fault..." Qian Chengfeng's voice was choked with sobs, making people feel heartbroken.
He held the princess in his arms, seemingly seeking comfort and support from her.
The princess felt very embarrassed, but she couldn't bear to push Qian Chengfeng away, so she could only gently pat his back.
She said gently, "It's not your fault, you've done very well."
She hoped that this would offer Qian Chengfeng some comfort.
"Mom, don't you blame me? I haven't grown up to be the person you hoped I would be—upright, kind, and brave. Don't you love me anymore? Mom, I'll try my best to be a good child. Please don't leave me, okay?..."
The princess looked at the man before her, who was already an adult but still acted like a child, and said with heartache, "I love you the most, I will never leave you, sweetie, it's chilly outside, let's go inside, and when you wake up, I'll make you something delicious, okay?"
Her voice was extremely gentle, as if she were coaxing a young child.
Upon hearing the princess's reply, Qian Chengfeng smiled with satisfaction.
He murmured to himself, "Yes, Ah Feng is the best. He listens to his mother. His mother is the best."
After saying this, he slowly stood up with the help of the princess.
The princess secretly rejoiced, thankfully she had often interacted with children in the village before and had accumulated a lot of experience in getting along with them.
