CHAPTER 812: CHAPTER 814: DON’T BE SAD, YOU STILL HAVE US

"Big brother, don’t be impulsive."

Xu Nianhua held Xu Nianji back, her gentle voice ringing in his ear as she addressed Gu Mingcheng, "Gu Mingcheng, there’s something going on today, let’s talk another time."

"Oh." Gu Mingcheng stared blankly at Xu Nianji, who looked as if he wanted to eat him alive. He stepped back repeatedly and then stopped to seriously look at Xu Nianhua, saying, "Nianhua, if anyone bullies you, you can tell me. I’m your brother; I’ll protect you."

Gu Mingcheng’s youthful face was filled with seriousness.

Xu Nianji’s eyes held a hint of mockery; it was the Gu Family bullying Nianhua and then pretending to care, which was disgusting.

"Thank you." Xu Nianhua responded sincerely.

Gu Mingcheng smiled and then ran off.

"Big brother." Xu Nianhua watched him leave before turning to Xu Nianji, asking, "Big brother, do you know something?"

His attitude towards the Gu Family was too odd.

"No." Xu Nianji answered quickly. Regardless of anything, the Gu Family were still sister’s biological relatives.

"Big brother, you don’t have to hide it from me. Before, even though you disliked the Gu Family, you wouldn’t be so blatant." Xu Nianhua looked knowingly at Xu Nianji and asked, "Is it because of Ai Jiaxin?"

Earlier, Ma Zhijun had spoken to her about Ai Jiaxin.

"No." Xu Nianji worried she might misunderstand him, Xu Nianhua continued, "You don’t have to hide it; I know everything. What are you planning to do? Or let me put it another way, what good idea does Shuyuan have?"

Xu Nianji scratched his short hair, thinking that nothing could be hidden from his little sister, and he revealed his plan with Ji Shuyuan, saying, "As long as she can admit to wanting to harm you, we can seize this matter, so you won’t have to go back to the Gu Family."

"Little sister, don’t be sad; you still have us." Xu Nianji hesitated to look at Xu Nianhua; he may not be smart but could tell that sister didn’t like the Gu Family.

"Got it." Xu Nianhua smiled and said, "Big brother, when did you become so fussy?"

"I’m only caring for you!" Xu Nianji didn’t want to hear the word ’fussy,’ glaring in frustration.

Xu Nianhua chuckled softly and suddenly asked, "Big brother, do you think I’m cold-hearted, not even recognizing my biological parents?"

"Little sister, if the Gu Family sincerely looked for you and cared for you, you would surely be genuine with them too. But now, since the Gu Family came to us, not a single act has felt sincere. It’s not just you who doesn’t acknowledge them; we also won’t let you recognize them." Xu Nianji resolutely said, sister is such a kind person, likely having been saddened many times because of the Gu Family!

Xu Nianji cannot condone the Gu Family’s actions—they intend to harm sister under the guise of being blood relatives, and that is unacceptable.

...

"Nianji, does your sister and sister-in-law have any misunderstandings?" On this day, Ai Jiaxin came to the shop again, and upon seeing Xu Nianji, she worriedly approached to ask. Her concerned demeanor made Xu Nianji dazed for a moment. If not for trusting Ji Shuyuan, he would never believe that beneath Ai Jiaxin’s smiling appearance, such a vicious intent was hidden.

"No, we are clean and honest, and sister is not unreasonable." Xu Nianji lowered his gaze, trying to act as usual, but didn’t dare look at her, fearing his inability to lie would reveal something.
