You didn’t want to know you were back, I can accept that…
But aren’t you guys in cahoots?
Aren’t you together?
What exactly is your relationship?
What in the world do you want to do?”
“Can you promise one thing?” the old man looked at Lu Siyu and asked.
“Isn’t that a bit ridiculous?
You haven’t given any reason or explanation, not a single promise…
and then with a sorry, you expect to do sothing for you?” Lu Siyu was truly amused by the old man’s nerve.
“Just pretend you never saw , just pretend you never saw Tang Fei.” The old man pleaded earnestly.
“You answer one question,” Lu Siyu said.
“You answer this question, and I’ll agree to do this favor.”
“You ask.”
“Is Tang Fei my brother?” Lu Siyu asked in a deep voice.
The old man had disappeared and took her brother with him…
Now, the old man was back, and Tang Fei appeared.
Wasn’t his identity becoming obvious?
“Yes.” The old man answered decisively.
“…You’re lying.
If he is my brother, why would you hide your relationship?”
“Because, I’m a person disliked by the Royal Family,” the old man explained.
“I don’t want him to suffer with , to take such a big risk.”
“No,” Lu Siyu shook her head.
“You want him to marry the Princess…
You’re seeking revenge for the Tang family?”
The old man looked at Lu Siyu in surprise and asked, “How do you know about this?”
“You skulk around in my uncle’s yard and don’t co out, Tang Fei is closely related to Zhong Yu and Xiu Xue…
Do you want to undermine the Royal Family from the inside?”
“Yes.” The old man nodded, admitting it.
“We have to do sothing.
So, no matter what, you must keep this secret for …
No one can know he’s related to our family.”
“I understand.” Lu Siyu nodded and said, “I will interact with him as a normal classmate would.”
“Mm, just naturally, as usual.”
“But have you ever thought, what if the plan fails?
If the Royal Family discovers his connection to our family…
what then?
How will you protect him?”
“One step at a ti, there will be a way.”
“Anyway…” Lu Siyu’s gaze was firm as she looked at the old man.
“No matter what thods you use, no matter what it takes, you must make sure he stays alive…
He’s my only brother.”
“We’ll try our best,” the old man said.
He would try his best, he had to.
Revenge was always a double-edged sword.
How could you expect to hurt others without getting hurt yourself?
Lu Zhiyong ca over with a plate of sliced roast at and, seeing that a big bottle of champagne was already empty, complained, “You two drank way too fast, didn’t you?
I haven’t even finished cutting the at, and you’ve downed the whole bottle?
Didn’t you save any for ?”
“You’ve hidden away so much good wine, just bring out a few more bottles, don’t be stingy,” Lu Siyu said.
“Yeah, bring out a few more bottles,” the old man chid in.
“The at’s just been served, how can we eat without wine?”
Seeing his daughter and Lu Zhiyong bantering, the old man’s face also rarely revealed a smile.
This was the life he dread of, but unfortunately, he could only push it away with his own hands.
The further, the better.
“Alright alright, I’ll get two more bottles.
Tonight, there’ll be plenty of at and enough wine,” Lu Zhiyong said cheerfully.
He was happy for his brother and niece that they could sit together to drink and chat.
Who wouldn’t want a family to live together in harmony?
Unfortunately, his brother had chosen the hardest path to walk.

When Tang Fei returned, Little Fatty was busy in the kitchen.
Hands flustered, face covered in grease.
Tang Fei stood at the kitchen door, watching Little Fatty’s clumsy antics, and asked, “What are you doing?”
“Ah, brother, you’re back?” Little Fatty turned around and said to Tang Fei, “I’m cooking…
I figured our big brother hasn’t co back yet, he must’ve been held up, so I thought I’d make dinner ready for when you return, so you can have sothing warm to eat…”
“It’s burnt,” Tang Fei said.
“What’s burnt?”
“The eggs in the pan are burnt.”
Only then did Little Fatty realize that the eggs he was frying had turned into black char.
“Oh no…” Little Fatty hastily lifted the pan from the stove and said, “Don’t worry, I eat burnt stuff, I’ll fry you a new one…”
“Let do it,” Tang Fei said.
He took the frying pan from Little Fatty’s hands, dumped the burnt egg into the trash, and asked, “Why don’t you use the cooking robot?”
“You always said that food made by robots doesn’t have the taste of ho cooking, right?
I also think it doesn’t taste good…
so I wanted to try it myself.
Seeing how easily big brother does it, when I try it myself…
I realize it’s not the sa at all…”
“Everyone has their specialization,” Tang Fei said.
“How many years have I been cooking?
How many tis have you actually cooked?”
He skillfully fried a few eggs and then put on a big pot of noodles, saying, “Let’s have sothing simple tonight.”
“No worries, no worries, having noodles and eggs is nothing simple at all,” Little Fatty cheerfully said.
He liked noodles and fried eggs, so to him, this al was far from simple.
Tang Fei and Little Fatty each had a bowl of noodles, dipping into so Lao Gan Ma chili sauce, slurping their al down.
Tang Fei didn’t have any fried eggs, and after finishing his bowl of noodles, he said to Little Fatty, “I have more things to do, you wash the bowls.”
