“If they really are responsible for our mother’s death, i won’t let them get away with it!” i Feng pounded the table with his fist, his eyes brimming with intense hatred that threatened to consu his reason.
i Shu sighed helplessly, gently enveloping his hand. “Xiao Feng, what we need to do now is keep our emotions in check. Don’t expose our intentions prematurely. The situation is advantageous for us right now. i Mu and Wang Yue are still at the police station, and they won’t be able to get out anyti soon. No one will stop us from continuing the investigation.”
“You’re right.” i Feng took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and managed to suppress the growing frustration within him. He spoke in a deep voice, “I didn’t contribute anything to the events earlier. It was my negligence. But from now on, I want to at least have the right to know about anything that happens. Sister, please don’t keep secrets from .”
“Yes! I want the right to know too. The three of us, as siblings, will work together to uncover the truth!” i Jing, confident, patted his chest. Before i Shu, he had unconsciously hidden all the thorns in his body, and he didn’t even realize that his adoring expression was almost identical to that of i Yan.
i Feng saw everything.
He knew that i Shu had been taking care of i Jing very well since her return.
It seed that sister was always sister, effortlessly doing things he couldn’t accomplish no matter how hard he tried.
“Alright, I promise you both. This ti, we will work together to find the truth.”
i Shu felt the imnse value of family bonds at this mont, more significant than any other emotion in the world.
The three siblings exchanged smiles, and all the past estrangent and awkwardness disappeared in an instant.
“By the way, Xiao He, now that we’ve gotten rid of the unwanted people in the house, we should proceed to complete withdrawal procedures for Xiao He and bring him ho for recovery as soon as possible.”
i Shu brought up the topic again while the atmosphere was good.
This ti, i Feng didn’t show any signs of resistance but rather nodded in agreent, “Okay, I will talk to the school and try to stay at ho more often from now on, which will make it easier to take care of Xiao He.”
Having left Xiao He at the boarding school for so long, i Feng, as his older brother, had always been reluctant. But he didn’t have the ans to support Xiao He himself yet; otherwise, he would never let his brother endure such hardship at school.
Now, with i Shu’s return, their once-warm ho could finally beco a haven for them again, and he and his brothers could enjoy peaceful sleep at ho.
Thinking of this, i Feng revealed a heartfelt smile he hadn’t shown for a long ti.
While eating and chatting, the ti slipped away unnoticed. When the three of them returned ho, they found i Yun had passed out on the couch, and Butler Zhao was trying to wake him up.
When Zhao Yan saw them coming back, he approached them as if seeking help. “Young Master, Miss, Master has never been so drunk. What should we do?”
“Uncle Zhao, don’t worry. Send soone to prepare so sobering soup in the kitchen. We’ll stay here to look after Dad,” i Shu said, taking off her coat and hanging it on the rack before rolling up her sleeves and pouring a glass of
water.
i Feng imdiately ca over to help support i Yun’s body, and they gave him so water together. Only then did i Yun slowly open his eyes.
“All Ling…” i Yun, inebriated, looked as if he had a veil of mist over his eyes, making it impossible to discern his emotions. However, his tone was filled with joy, and even a faint smile appeared on his lips. “All Ling, you’ve finally co to see .”
With that said, i Yun slowly raised his hand and touched i Shu’s cheek. The hard liquor he drank tonight turned into tears that flowed out of the corner of his eyes uncontrollably. “Ah Ling, you don’t know how much I miss you. All Ling, I have never betrayed you.”
“Dad, you’re drunk!” i Feng forcefully pushed i Yun’s hand away from i Shu’s face, then held onto his father’s body, allowing him to lie down on the couch to rest. “Sister, please go upstairs first. We’re here to take care of Dad.” “Right, Sister, please go upstairs. We’ve got it covered here!” i Jing volunteered to help, but i Shu suddenly raised her hand to intercept their words, then stared intently at the intoxicated i Yun. “Did you just say you’ve never betrayed Mom?”
As soon as i Yun heard this, he abruptly sat up, tightly grasping i Shu’s hand and refused to let go. “Ah Ling, 1 love you. I once promised you that I would be good to you for a lifeti. 1 never thought of betraying you. I really don’t want to betray you!”
i Shu, with disgust, shook off i Yun’s hand, speaking with her mother’s tone, questioning, “Then what about i Mu?”
i Feng looked at her in shock. It seed that she hadn’t expected her sister to take this opportunity to inquire about their father’s true feelings.
But this was indeed a good opportunity.
i Yun was indeed drunk, and he had mistakenly thought that i Shu was Bai Ling because of i Shu’s slight resemblance to Bai Ling’s appearance.
However, their mother was no longer in this world.. Was there any point in asking these questions now?
