On the day of her return to China, she was tied up and coaxed by the richest man to get her marriage

Yu Jinzhao's eyes flickered slightly. Thinking that she would soon clear up the misunderstanding of her brother's coldness towards her, her heart inexplicably started to beat faster.

Jiang Xintong looked at her, then at Yu Jinxian, her expression gradually becoming serious, and her hands unconsciously clenched.

What is that bastard planning to say to my brother? Is it about discovering the gift?

Her heart suddenly raced, leaping into her throat, and she instinctively frowned as she looked at her mother.

A single glance conveyed a thousand unspoken words that only they could understand.

Lin Hui remained calm and composed, smiling faintly as she withdrew her gaze from Yu Jinzhao and reassuringly squeezed her daughter's hand.

It was only a matter of time before the bastard was discovered, but they couldn't produce any evidence.

Yu Jinzhao raised his finely crafted eyebrows, glanced lazily at the mother and daughter, took in their expressions, and slowly revealed a meaningful look.

After the group entered the house and sat on the sofa, Yu Jinzhao, arm in arm with Yu Zongxian, glanced at Lin Hui's composed face with her clear gaze and asked in an innocent tone,

"Dad, are Uncle Butler and Ms. Lin on good terms?"

Jiang Xintong was startled, her eyes widening in surprise. Wasn't she going to talk to her older brother? How did the topic turn so far off?

Lin Hui was surprised that the bastard would bring this up. Her expression changed slightly, and the faint smile on her lips vanished instantly.

"Chaochao, why do you ask that?" Yu Zongxian raised his eyebrows in confusion.

Yu Jinxian sat elegantly on a single sofa, one hand casually resting on his knee, exuding a refined and aloof air.

He looked at the little girl diagonally opposite him with clear, bright eyes.

The magnificent lights melted away her innate pride, yet they could not conceal the flamboyant and radiant aura in her bones.

Like the ever-shining Milky Way in the heavens, it is clearly far away, yet it gives people a very arrogant feeling, and you can see it as soon as you look up.

With a slight upturn of her lips, her eyes, as warm as the summer sun, curved into crescent shapes. The innocence in her eyes reminded him of how she used to secretly follow him when they were little, climbing onto his neck to misbehave when he wasn't looking.

An indescribable sense of loss welled up in his heart, and he slowly slipped his hand into his pocket.

Yu Jinzhao's lips curled slightly upwards. He noticed Lin Hui's momentarily flustered expression out of the corner of his eye, tapped the sofa armrest with one hand, and a faint smile played on his lips.

"I just got home and saw the housekeeper holding Ms. Lin's hand. Isn't that something only very close friends would do?"

Lin Hui's heart skipped a beat, and she gripped the sofa armrest tightly, so hard that the skin on her finger bones was pushed out.

When Butler Yu, who was carrying tea sets from the kitchen, heard these words, he was caught off guard and froze on the spot.

In a moment of shock and disbelief, my hand trembled, and the tea set shattered with a crack.

slam-la-

The jarring noise interrupted the conversation in the living room and turned the originally harmonious atmosphere into a tense one.

Lin Hui's face paled slightly. She felt that her heart was like these tea sets, which had been steadily held in her chest one second, but had been smashed to pieces the next.

Yu Zongxian frowned and looked at Butler Yu, scolding him unhappily, "Butler, why are you being so clumsy today?"

Butler Yu, disregarding his loss of composure, spoke solemnly, "Miss, please don't speak nonsense. I only helped the Second Madam..."

"Shut up." Suddenly, a warm, gentle voice rang out, like autumn leaves being swept in, interrupting him with a touch of indifference.

"The young lady is speaking, no one should interrupt."

Yu Jinzhao's eyelashes trembled slightly as she stared blankly at Yu Jinxian, who had spoken those words.

He still had that gentle, spring-like demeanor, his long, curled eyelashes fluttering slightly, as if shrouded in mist, concealing the expression in his eyes, making him impossible to see through or guess.

But listening to his clear, gentle voice, Yu Jinzhao vaguely recalled the time when he hadn't become indifferent to her. No matter who bullied her or said anything bad about her, he was always the first to stand up for her.

These scenes, seemingly from yesterday, act like hooks, easily uprooting the longing hidden deep within my heart.

In her brother's heart, no matter how despicable she was, she was still the eldest daughter of the Yu family, and he would still maintain her dignity as before.

Yu Zongxian noticed the fleeting moment of distraction in her eyes, and a sudden surge of emotion welled up inside him, dispelling all his long-standing worries.

Although Chaochao seems to have distanced herself from A-Xian, she actually still cares about him a lot.

After all, they were siblings connected by blood, not to mention that Chaochao was raised by A-Xian. He knew very well that Chaochao actually loved her brother more than he, her father.

As long as there is still care, a broken relationship can be repaired.

When Butler Yu saw Yu Jinxian's eyes change from gentle to sharp, he assumed he believed him, and immediately knelt down with a thud, raising three fingers as if to swear an oath.

“Young Master, I am Madam’s old classmate. She trusted me, which is why she let me come to the Yu family. Over the years, I have been dutiful to the Yu family, and my sincerity is evident to all. How could I have any illicit relationship with Second Madam?”

Then, he earnestly said to Yu Zongxian, "Sir, I've followed you for so many years, don't you know what kind of person I am?"

"Uncle Butler, what are you saying?" Yu Jinzhao asked in astonishment.

"I just felt that you and Ms. Lin had a good friendship, that's all!"
