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

His voice was very soft, as gentle as a breeze, without a trace of impatience or fluctuation. Only upon closer listening could one detect a slight hint of reproach.

Yu Zongxian was stunned, his thick eyebrows furrowing even more as he looked at him incredulously, "A-Xian, you don't even believe your father anymore?"

Yu Jinxian turned around with a detached expression, his eyes still clear and calm, as if all the noise and clamor of the world never touched his indifferent gaze.

He spoke gently, “Dad, Chaochao is the treasure Mom left to our family. It’s only right that we love her, but there should be limits.”

Aunt Lin and Tongtong were brought into the Yu family by you despite Grandma's objections. At first, I did not accept them, but Aunt Lin took care of and tolerated us without complaint. Grandma was very resistant to them and refused to acknowledge them, but they also respected Grandma despite their grievances.

You let them into the Yu family, but they lived cautiously. In this respect, it was our Yu family that was wrong.

During the years I was away from home, only Xintong consistently cared about me...

Through our years of getting to know each other, I know very well that she is a kind girl who always compromises and makes sacrifices for others.

When the words "compromise" and "accept others' wishes" were mentioned, Yu Jinxian's jade-like gaze fell lightly on Yu Jinzhao.

Her eyes were glazed over as she looked at him, his calm and indifferent gaze seemingly concealing a secret that no one could possibly uncover.

But one thing she saw clearly was that he believed Jiang Xintong was innocent. He didn't believe she hadn't received his gift, nor did he believe she had given him one.

Her eyes dimmed little by little, and her heart grew colder and colder.

A breeze blew in from outside the door, lifting her long hair, which drifted in the air along with her warm complexion, like the lush revival of all things, and suddenly the desolation of winter.

Yu Zongxian immediately recalled his conversation with A-Xian in the ancestral hall last time, when he shamelessly said that even if Chaochao caused someone's death, he would go to jail for her.

Now, even A-Xian thinks that he deliberately made up the story of seeing Jiang Xintong unpacking the package in order to reconcile the siblings...

Suddenly, I felt a surge of air in my chest, blocking my throat completely, unable to go up or down. When I tried to open my mouth, I suddenly started coughing violently.

Yu Jinzhao subconsciously grabbed his father's arm and patted him on the back, inadvertently pressing an acupoint, which quickly stopped his cough.

As Yu Zongxian calmed his breathing, he inadvertently met Yu Jinzhao's dim, fox-like eyes. He thought of how just a second ago her eyes were shining, and she thought she could clear up the misunderstanding with her brother, but now she received such a hurtful answer.

Yu Jinxian's nonchalant distrust directly negated everything she had done for him, adding another wound to her already injured heart.

He felt a sudden pang in his heart and said in a deep voice, "A-Xian, don't you believe that Chaochao would go to great lengths to get you a rare badge?"

Yu Jinxian's expression was calm. With a gentle blink, a serene stillness, as if all snow and wind had vanished, lingered in her pale amber eyes.

“Chaochao is your biological daughter, and I can understand that you are biased towards her. But don’t forget that you are first and foremost Chaochao’s father, and secondly Xintong’s stepfather. Even if you don’t love her, please give her some respect. This is the dignity that the Yu family should give her.”

He paused for a moment, then turned his gaze to Jiang Xintong, a gentle moonlight appearing in his clear, snow-white eyes.

"Considering that she bravely risked her life for me and works hard every day to take care of Grandma, please don't involve her, okay?"

Jiang Xintong's eyes were filled with tears, and her cheeks and nose were red. When she felt Yu Jinxian's absolute trust, she covered her mouth with emotion, lowered her head and sobbed, "Thank you, Brother Jinxian, for believing in me."

A slight smile played on her lips, hidden in her palm, and she finally felt relieved.

Her brother believed her, which was exactly what she expected.
