The next morning, light snow fell from the sky again.

The evergreen trees in the yard had a thin layer of snow on their branches, which drooped slightly as if waving.

The temperature outside the window was several degrees below zero, but the floor heating in the house kept the temperature warm and comfortable.

Yuan Shenghe got up early as usual and opened his eyes at dawn.

Feeling the weight on him, he glanced down.

Ji Yu's leg wrapped in plaster was exposed to the air, pressing down on him.

He gently moved Ji Yu's legs off his body, propped up his upper body with one hand, and seeing that the person next to him was still sleeping soundly, he reached out and pushed the hair that was blocking his eyes, revealing a pair of delicate eyebrows.

When I think of these eyes, they are always curved in a beautiful arc, and a cunning light appears in them from time to time.

The corners of Yuan Shenghe's mouth couldn't help but curl up.

After lingering in the gentle arms for a while, he threw back the quilt and got out of bed.

The housekeeper, Wang Boge, had already prepared breakfast, which was hot and had a faint aroma, as well as a cup of brewed black coffee.

"Sir, the car is ready, and the other servant has been dealt with."

Butler Wang Boge pulled out a chair and waited for Yuan Shenghe to sit down before speaking softly.

"Which family?" Yuan Shenghe didn't believe it was Yuan Qiao.

When she was young, Yuan Qiao had a very impulsive and irritable personality. Now that she is older, she has not changed much. She is often used as a tool by others without realizing it, but she also blames herself for being stupid.

"It should be the second master's family. Only the second lady called Yuan Qiao yesterday morning." The housekeeper Wang Boge seemed to know everything.

"What's going on in their family recently? They're so idle, yet they start to meddle in other people's affairs." Yuan Shenghe picked up the black coffee and took a sip.

The butler reported them one by one, and then repeated one by one the important events that had happened in the capital during this period.

By the time he finished reporting everything, Yuan Shenghe had finished his coffee.

He stood up, took the coat handed to him by the butler, put it on, wrapped a black scarf around his neck, and strode out of the house.

When the car arrived at the Yuan family's old house, there were already many luxury cars parked outside.

The Yuan family was one of the largest families in the capital, and in the past, every sacrifice was held in a grand manner.

However, since Yuan Shenghe took charge of the entire Yuan family, the sacrifice was no longer open to the public but became a sacrifice for members of the Yuan family.

When his car stopped, someone immediately informed him.

Some people hadn't entered yet, but when they heard that he was coming, they stopped and stared at the black Cullinan.

The driver got out and walked around from the back to open the door.

After a while, a pair of long legs in black leather shoes stepped out from the back door of the car, followed by Yuan Shenghe's tall and slender figure and a face with sharp lines and deep features. When his eyes swept over, the oppressive feeling he brought immediately evoked the dusty past in many people's hearts.

When seeing him for the first time, some people can't help but think of what happened when he first took over the Yuan family.

At that time, Yuan Shenghe was still very young, and many uncles and aunts did not take him seriously. They wanted to take advantage of him by relying on their seniority.

Those who finally emerged were either exiled abroad, sent to prison or a mental hospital.

None of them have returned yet, and some are said to have died there.

"Shenghe, I haven't seen you for a long time. You look more and more handsome. Are you alone today? You are almost 30 years old. Mom has always hoped that you would find a girlfriend. When will you find one and bring her back to me?"

The person who spoke was Yuan Shenghe’s elder brother Yuan Boyan.

The two are nearly 20 years apart in age, so they don't look like brothers at all.

"Sheng He is now the president and chairman of Huasheng Group. He is busy controlling all the affairs of the group every day. How can he have time for love?"

A woman dressed in jewels and precious stones came over, and her words were full of sarcasm, ridicule and resentment.

Yuan Shenghe had not originally intended to pay attention to them, but when he heard the woman's words, he suddenly stopped and turned to stare at the woman.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" The woman felt frightened by his gaze.

Yuan Shenghe gently brushed off the snowflakes on his scarf. "I haven't seen you for a while. I didn't expect that my second sister-in-law has such a bad memory. She has forgotten everything in the past."

The woman was Yuan Shenghe's second sister-in-law Zheng Yu, also known as the Second Lady in the housekeeper's words. When she heard Yuan Shenghe's words, her expression froze.

"What do you mean?" Zheng Yu stared at him anxiously.

"I heard that my nephew has been in trouble again recently. Since my second brother and his wife can't take care of it, I'll take care of it for you."

Zheng Yu got anxious when he heard this, "Don't worry about it, we can discipline them ourselves!"

If Yuan Shenghe were really allowed to take care of it, their son would probably be sent to prison. How could a man who could send his own father to prison care about the life or death of a nephew?

"If you can control him, he won't commit crimes again. Besides, my second sister-in-law's hands are too long. I don't like it."

Yuan Shenghe went in after he finished speaking. Zheng Yu, who was left there, looked drastically unhappy.

How did he know so quickly!

"The second brother's family, why haven't you given up after so long?" Yuan Boyan guessed it as soon as he heard their conversation.

Zheng Yu didn't say anything, but his expression changed from gloomy to bright.

She simply bribed a servant in Yunshan Villa to ask her to occasionally report Yuan Shenghe's whereabouts, and nothing else.

I didn't expect it to be discovered so quickly just once.

"You can seek death, but you'd better not drag me into it," Yuan Boyan warned.

Zheng Yu thought about it and asked tentatively: "Are you willing to stay like this?"

Yuan Boyan sneered, "Even if Shenghe hadn't existed, it wouldn't have been my turn. Shenghe is very capable and manages the company so well. I get a lot of dividends every year. Why should I fight for it?"

Zheng Yu gritted his teeth and said, "You do get dividends, but our second brother's family doesn't get that much."

Back then, her parents-in-law were partial to that one person, and even the old man who was always fair and dignified was extremely biased. They were the ones who suffered the most and got nothing. What was wrong with her wanting to get more for her family?

This is the second time Yuan Shenghe has returned to his old home this year.

The last time was at the beginning of the year.

The servants of the old house were preparing things for the sacrifice early in the morning.

After Yuan Shenghe entered, he waved away the servants who were coming in and out and lit a stick of incense for his grandfather.

After a while, a person came to the door.

"Fourth Young Master, the old lady asked you to come over after you burn incense." The other party was Aunt Sun, who had been serving the old lady all year round. Usually, she represented the old lady's wishes when she appeared.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Sun Ma said again, "The old lady has something urgent to discuss with you, so please come over now."

Yuan Shenghe turned around and glanced at her calmly, "How many years have you been in the Yuan family?"

Sun's mother's expression froze, "Thirty-four years."

"Go back and tell the old lady that I will come over later."

Mother Sun responded quickly and left without looking back.
