Looking at his face, Liang Qing felt a sense of familiarity well up inside her.

The next second, the system explained where her sense of familiarity came from.

[Host, this is your second uncle's son, your cousin Liang Mu.]

It turned out to be my cousin.

This is her second relative in this world.

Even if I don't remember anything, that sense of familiarity still lingers in my heart.

She stared intently at Liang Mu, remaining motionless in her seat, which in turn attracted the attention of Qin Zhoumu, who was constantly replying to messages on his phone.

He followed Liang Qing's gaze and fixed his eyes on Su Heng and his group, watching them silently.

Perhaps it was because their gazes were too intense when they met, Liang Mu suddenly looked in their direction.

Su Heng was talking to him when he noticed that he suddenly turned his head. He looked back and saw Liang Qing sitting there.

"Mr. Liang, I'll go over there for a bit." Su Heng said to Liang Mu beside him, intending to go find Liang Qing first.

"Together."

Su Heng then realized that this President Liang was Liang Qing's second cousin, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

After all, he had previously joined forces with three other families to kick his sister out of her home.

While he was still feeling awkward, Liang Mu had already walked up to Liang Qing.

Liang Qing knew he had spotted her when she saw Liang Mu walking towards her, so she stood up before he reached her.

Governor Qin didn't move, but he remained focused on watching the interaction between the two.

Liang Mu was very happy to see Liang Qing and gently tucked a few stray strands of hair behind her ear. Although Liang Qing felt a little embarrassed, she did not pull away and called out, "Brother."

"You've lost weight." Liang Mu withdrew his hand and looked at her carefully.

Su Heng knew that Liang Mu was Liang Qing's cousin, so he didn't react much to the intimacy between the two.

But Governor Qin was unaware of their relationship and was somewhat surprised to see it. He glanced at Liang Mu and then at Liang Qing. Although Liang Qing called him "brother," he remembered that she was an only child. Where did this "brother" come from?

So he stood up as well, feigning surprise, and asked, "Sister, who is this?"

As soon as he spoke, Liang Qing realized she had forgotten about him. She introduced him to Governor Qin: "This is my cousin."

Almost at the same time as Liang Qing answered, Liang Mu also spoke up and extended his hand to Governor Qin, "Hello, Liang Mu."

Upon hearing that the two were cousins, Governor Qin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and politely shook Liang Mu's outstretched hand, saying, "Hello, Governor Qin."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Qin Zhoumu froze. He had just blurted it out and forgotten that he hadn't told Liang Qing his true identity yet.

He looked at Liang Qing, wanting to see her reaction.

However, Liang Qing only glanced at him briefly before looking away.

This left Governor Qin somewhat puzzled.

Does she think it doesn't matter, or did she already know?

If she already knew he was Qin Zhouyu's younger brother, what did she mean by that?

Although Qin Zhouyu and Liang Qing kept their relationship a secret, the person they needed to keep quiet about was not their younger brother, Qin Zhoumu.

The reason he went to see Liang Qing last time was just to see what kind of woman his brother's girlfriend was; at that time, he didn't know that they had already broken up.

One night, while he was studying late into the night, he noticed that his brother came home very late and seemed upset. Upon investigation, he learned that they had broken up.

Although Qin Zhoumu had never been in a relationship, he knew that matters between men and women were complicated and that it was not appropriate for others to interfere, so he did nothing.

Tonight, his dad forced him to attend a dinner party, ostensibly to give him some experience, but actually, his dad wanted to go out with his mom for some alone time and was too lazy to come, so he just pushed the task onto him.

He didn't expect to run into Liang Qing here. Out of politeness, he exchanged a few pleasantries with her, but didn't intend to get any closer.

But seeing her so intimate with other men made him feel a little uncomfortable. It wasn't because he was interested in Liang Qing, but because he felt indignant on behalf of his brother.

But knowing that it's normal for men and women to find new partners after a breakup, he suppressed his displeasure and asked a question.

Fortunately, the two are not in a romantic relationship.

He breathed a sigh of relief for his brother, who clearly still couldn't let go of his ex-girlfriend.

He planned to wait until Liang Mu and Liang Qing finished exchanging pleasantries before calling Liang Qing back to explain, but before Liang Mu could leave, Liang Qing was called out by Liang Mu instead.

Liang Qing and Liang Mu walked to a deserted corridor, where the dim overhead light cast two long shadows.

Liang Mu asked him with concern, "Xiao Qing, how have you been these days?"

"I'm doing well, Brother Mu."

Liang Mu looked at her carefully, then pinched her cheek, his eyes showing heartache, and said with a bit of helplessness, "You, you won't let me text you, saying that if you want to contact me you will call me yourself, but you haven't contacted me even once."

Liang Qing felt a little embarrassed. This was an agreement between "her" and Liang Mu, and she really didn't know about it.

When she asked the system some questions, it seemed clueless, leaving her with no one to turn to for help.

Liang Qing could only manage a couple of dry laughs.

Liang Mu didn't argue with her. "Never mind, I'm relieved that you're doing well."

He then inquired about Liang Qing's current living situation and gradually felt relieved.

As the two were about to leave, he spoke hesitantly: "Uncle, he came looking for me."

He didn't say what he was going to say next, but Liang Qing guessed it.

"Brother, do you want me to go home too?" Liang Qing looked up at him. Although she didn't know the reason, she could tell from the attitudes of her father and Liang Mu that the story of her being kicked out of the house was not true, and it was more likely a scheme orchestrated by "her".

"I just want you to be happy," Liang Mu chuckled. "Besides, the three of us have agreed not to interfere with each other's lives."

His tone immediately lowered when he mentioned the three of them.

[Xiao Qi, three people? Who's the last one?]

A mechanical, electronic voice narrated, "[Liang Run, your second uncle's eldest son, died in an avalanche a year ago. According to records, he was twenty-five years old.]"

The system paused, as if reading aloud, and continued, "[According to the data, the three of you grew up together and have a very close relationship.]"

“Brother.” Liang Qing tugged at Liang Mu’s sleeve.

Liang Mu realized that his sister was trying to comfort him, so he composed himself, bent his arm so that she could take his arm, and said, "Let's go."

The two walked and talked. Liang Mu said that he came here today to discuss business with the Su family, and Liang Qing also explained why he came here today.

When the two re-entered the hall, seeing Su Heng come to greet them, Liang Mu earnestly said to Liang Qing as they parted, "Be careful, and come to me if you need anything. Although we agreed not to interfere with each other's lives, don't forget that I will always be your brother."
