"You protect her? You say you protect her, but often it is you who hurts her." As a man, how could Jiang Jingchen believe what a man says when he is in love with someone?

If he really believed it so easily, he would not be a man.

"What if Xiao Zhi falls in love with you, and you regret it and don't like her anymore? Or what if Xiao Zhi regrets being with you and wants to leave you, what will you do?"

"I won't dislike her, and I will respect all her decisions, whether we are together or not." Meng Qinghuai said very seriously.

He wasn't just saying this to deal with Jiang Jingchen, he was serious about it, he thought so and would do so in the future.

Jiang Jingchen was silent. Although he did not immediately believe Meng Qinghuai's words, he did not immediately deny him, because he did not know whether Meng Qinghuai could do what he said, but at least now it seemed that he was really sincere.

"Heh." Jiang Jingchen sneered and said, "I hope you can really do what you said today. As for Xiao Zhi, it is her right to be with you or not. I have no right to interfere."

Meng Qinghuai didn't expect that Jiang Jingchen, who had just been pressing on with his words, suddenly changed his tone.

Meng Qinghuai showed surprise on his face.

Jiang Jingchen also caught this point. He rolled his eyes at him and said, "It's been almost a year since Xiao Zhi came home, but it's only been this year. We owed her too much before."

"Because the baby was swapped, we gave Shutong all the love that should have belonged to her. I know this is unfair to her."

"We also kept Shutong in the Jiang family because she is a good child. We have watched her grow up since she was a child and we know her character best. If she is not a good child, I believe that my family members are not so ignorant of right and wrong and will make decisions when necessary."

"Secondly, we also know about Shutong's family background. Her biological parents are a pair of vampires. We are worried about Shutong returning."

"Although Xiao Zhi has lived in that home for 18 years, we feel very sorry for her and the family feels guilty about her, but the family's sincere concern is not fake."

"My parents had two alternative plans at the time. One was that if Xiao Zhi could accept Shu Tong, then Shu Tong would continue to live at home. But the second was that if Xiao Zhi was unwilling to accept Shu Tong, we would also arrange a place for Shu Tong to live somewhere in the capital and let her move out of the Jiang family."

"Xiao Zhi is very kind. Even though this man had enjoyed her life for more than ten years, she did not drive her out, but accepted her. Xiao Zhi and Shu Tong are both very good children."

Although Jiang Jingchen hadn't returned to the Jiang family for such a long time, he knew almost everything about the family.

We've come to this point in our conversation.

Even though the topic had shifted to other places, Meng Qinghuai just listened quietly and did not interrupt.

He knew that Jiang Jingchen would definitely get back to the point, and he must have a purpose for saying this.

"So, our Jiang family really owes her a lot. Everyone is trying to make it up to her, except me..." As expected, Jiang Jingchen returned to the topic.

"I'm the only one who has been traveling to Continent M because of Xiaoti's affairs. I haven't been back to see her for such a long time, and I haven't been able to do anything for her."

Jiang Jingchen seemed a little uncomfortable when he said this.

Although Jiang Zhi would not really blame him for this matter, he did feel guilty.

"So, I have no right to dictate her life."

Other people in the family have the right to say whatever they want about Jiang Zhi and Meng Qinghuai, but he is the most incompetent brother. How can he still have the nerve to direct Jiang Zhi's life?

If Jiang Zhi is willing, then I have no objection to how she chooses him, as long as she is happy.

He has never managed Jiang Zhi's affairs, nor has he helped her when she needed help, so he will not stop Jiang Zhi from being with anyone. He has no right to do so.

If Jiang Zhi really chooses to be with Meng Qinghuai, he will only bless her. But if Meng Qinghuai dares to bully Jiang Zhi, let her down and betray her, then even if he can't do anything to Jiang Zhi, he will seek justice for her.

This is what he should do as a brother.

"You can't force her to be with you. I won't say anything, but Xiao Zhi's other brothers and parents will definitely not agree. It has nothing to do with whether I agree or not."

He felt guilty towards Jiang Zhi, so he could only bless Jiang Zhi's choice, but this was just him and his thoughts, and did not represent the attitude of their entire family.

If Jiang Zhi's other brothers and parents object, Meng Qinghuai will have to deal with them first.

"Yeah." Meng Qinghuai nodded. That was for sure. If Jiang Jingchen didn't object, they would have less resistance. "Okay, thank you."

At least Meng Qinghuai didn't call Jiang Jingchen "second brother" this time. Although Jiang Jingchen felt a little sad, he felt better.

"What are you talking about?" A female voice came at this time, and the two of them raised their heads at the same time.

The person who came was Jiang Zhi. She was standing at the stairs looking at the two of them in confusion.

"What did you say? What's wrong with your eyes, second brother? Why are they red?" Jiang Zhi asked puzzled.

What's going on between these two people? The atmosphere between them doesn't seem sentimental. Why are Jiang Jingchen's eyes red?

Jiang Jingchen's eye shadow turned red because he just thought of the things that happened with Jiang Zhi and his deep emotions.

"Nothing." Meng Qinghuai was calmer: "We were just talking about your second sister-in-law, and your second brother was touched and cried."

"Really?" Jiang Zhi was a little confused. Although it was normal for the second brother to cry because of the second sister-in-law, he shouldn't do it in front of Meng Qinghuai. Just now, the second brother almost tore Meng Qinghuai to pieces. How could he cry with him?

Jiang Zhi felt this scene was inexplicably familiar.

"Yeah." Jiang Jingchen also nodded: "That's it."

Well, since both of them said so, Jiang Zhi didn't question it anymore.

By the way, he also comforted Jiang Jingchen, "It's okay, second brother, second sister-in-law will definitely be fine."

"Yeah." Jiang Jingchen nodded and asked, "Are you done talking?"

"Yeah." Jiang Zhi said, "After we finished chatting, my second sister-in-law felt a little sleepy and went to bed first, so I came out first."

"Okay. I'll go see her." Jiang Jingchen got up and went to Fanti's room.

After he left, Jiang Zhi and Meng Qinghuai looked at each other, then looked away awkwardly.

"Hey, do you want to go upstairs?" Jiang Zhi asked first.

"Yeah." Meng Qinghuai also stood up. There was nothing for him to do here anyway, so he followed Jiang Zhi upstairs.
