Shangguan Haomu pushed the door open with force. There was a loud "bang" and Shangguan Haochen and Xiaofan were startled.

Shangguan Haochen muttered when he saw his brother, "Brother, you're going to scare us to death!"

Shangguan Haomu looked at their indifferent expressions and became even angrier.

With a cold face, he asked the two in a low voice: "Are you having fun?"

The two of them immediately realized that Shangguan Haomu was angry, thinking that they were playing secretly without him. Shangguan Haochen still had a smiling face and asked Shangguan Haomu to play with them.

Shangguan Haomu's eyes seemed to be spitting fire as he stared at Shangguan Haochen.

Shangguan Haochen subconsciously shrank his neck. He knew that his brother was really angry.

Shangguan Haomu took a deep breath, tried to suppress his temper, and asked in a trembling voice: "Shangguan Haochen, are you still young? Xiaofan is ignorant, are you also ignorant?

Everyone is busy, everyone is preparing for the New Year’s Eve dinner, what are you doing?

Are you just sitting back and enjoying the fruits of your labor? Have you forgotten the hardships you went through because you've had so much good time?

Is it because your family members spoil you too much that you forget your responsibilities?

Yue'er gave this to you for occasional entertainment and to broaden your horizons, not to make you lose your ambition.

There are so many people in the family, who is like you, who can't learn from other brothers if they don't understand?"

His voice echoed in the room. Shangguan Haochen and Xiaofan's faces turned pale, and the iPads in their hands slipped to the ground unconsciously.

Xiaofan's lips trembled slightly and tears welled up in his eyes.

Shangguan Haochen lowered his head, not daring to look into his brother's eyes. His hands were clenched into fists, his heart filled with guilt and regret.

Shangguan Haomu continued, his voice becoming more and more excited: "One of you is my brother, and the other is my adopted son.

Our brothers feel sorry for us because we are young and have always spoiled us, but what are you doing? Are you becoming arrogant because of your spoiling?

This isn't the first time you've done this. Minor fights can be ignored.

But I think you have forgotten your roots and taken everyone's kindness to us for granted.

My brothers are afraid that they haven't done enough, but you are hiding here having fun. Have you forgotten how you got your current life?

Mu Feng didn't take any liberties even when she was pregnant, taking advantage of her physical condition. Does Yue'er need to do these things?

She could have told us to do it, didn't she?

She is the most senior person in our family. She is working hard for the New Year's Eve dinner. What are you doing?

Don’t you feel sorry for her? If that’s the case, I really feel sorry for you. You don’t deserve our love and care. You deserve to live a hard life.”

When Shangguan Haomu got excited, his chest heaved violently, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

His eyes were as sharp as torches, staring straight at Shangguan Haochen and Xiaofan, as if he wanted to see through their hearts.

Shangguan Haochen lowered his head even lower, tears welling up in his eyes. His lips trembled, and he wanted to say something but couldn't.

Xiao Fan burst into tears and said with difficulty, "I...know...I was wrong. I...will never...do it again."

Shangguan Haomu did not feel sorry for them. He knew very well that letting them continue like this would harm them.

Shangguan Haomu pointed at the bed and said sternly, "Go up there and kneel down. Reflect on this!"

The two dared not disobey and immediately took off their shoes and knelt on the bed. They knew in their hearts that Shangguan Haomu was soft-hearted and made them kneel on the bed for fear that their knees would get cold.

Shangguan Haomu watched them kneeling and walked out, his heart heavy.

Shangguan Haochen and Xiaofan's tears dripped down their cheeks, their hearts filled with regret and self-blame.

Shangguan Haomu walked out with red eyes and saw Liang Junze just putting the sleeping Hanhan on the bed.

Liang Junze saw Shangguan Haomu’s red eyes and immediately stepped forward to ask.

Shangguan Haomu's suppressed emotions suddenly burst out, and he hugged Liang Junze and cried bitterly.

Liang Junze didn't understand what was going on, but he patted Shangguan Haomu's back to comfort him and let him release his emotions.

When Shangguan Haomu had almost finished crying, Liang Junze spoke softly, "What's going on?"

Shangguan Haomu sobbed and told the story of Shangguan Haochen and Xiaofan, feeling guilty: "Brother Aze, I feel that I have not educated them well."

Liang Junze comforted them: "They are still young, we will teach them slowly in the future."

Shangguan Haomu shook his head firmly, choking with sobs, "Brother Aze, they're not young anymore. They've just had too many good lives and forgotten who they are."

Liang Junze did not stop Shangguan Haomu, he also felt that letting them do this would only harm them.

Appropriate punishment can make them reflect deeply and remember to hold on to their hard-earned happiness.

Liang Junze looked at Shangguan Haomu with gentle but firm eyes: "Amu, you did a good job.

Sometimes they lose their way and need someone to wake them up in time.

You are doing the right thing, letting them know that they cannot squander everyone’s love and efforts.”

He patted Shangguan Haomu's shoulder gently: "But we must also give them a chance to mend their ways.

Punishment is not an end, but a means to help them grow.

When they have reflected enough, we should talk to them calmly and rationally so that they can truly understand their mistakes."

Liang Junze raised his head slightly, as if recalling something: "I know you have a strong sense of responsibility towards them and you are afraid that they will take a detour.

But don't be too hard on yourself, you're doing great.

Our family needs everyone to work together, supervise each other, and grow together."

Liang Junze's tone was steady and powerful, full of trust and support: "Amu, we must give them time and have confidence in them."

Shangguan Haomu listened to Liang Junze's words, and his originally tense expression gradually relaxed. The light of hope rekindled in his eyes, and he nodded heavily.

Liang Junze looked at Shangguan Haomu and said gently, "Mu, calm down first and don't be too anxious.

I'll go help Yue Er prepare the New Year's Eve dinner first, so don't worry too much about this."

Shangguan Haomu nodded obediently, and the anxiety in his expression eased a little.

Liang Junze gently rubbed Shangguan Haomu's head, as if treating a child who needed comforting: "Today is New Year's Day, the punishment is enough. Don't take it too seriously, and don't ruin the good mood of the New Year."

Shangguan Haomu nodded again: "I understand, Brother Aze."

Only then did Liang Junze turn around and leave with peace of mind, going to the kitchen to help prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.

Shangguan Haomu stood there alone, took a few deep breaths, and tried to calm himself down.

Gu Qingyan listened to their conversation from a distance. He just stood there quietly without saying a word.

After Liang Junze left, he walked over and patted Shangguan Haomu on the shoulder.

Shangguan Haomu turned around and saw that it was him. He called out, "Brother Ayan," and then said nothing more.

Gu Qingyan nodded, his face serious: "Go and see if Xuan is hungry. I'll supervise here for you. I have to punish these two bastards!"

As he said this, he rolled up his sleeves and acted like a fierce man.

Shangguan Haomu was amused by his appearance, and his originally heavy mood suddenly lightened a lot. He nodded and said, "Thank you, Brother Ayan."

Turned around and went to Lin Yuxuan's room.

He knew that Gu Qingyan was giving him a way out. He walked and thought, this family is so good.

That's why he cherishes it so much, and he also hopes that his younger brother and Xiaofan will cherish it.

Every family member is maintaining the warmth and harmony of the home in his or her own way. This friendship is so precious that he is willing to give everything to protect it.
