Ye Xingbei shot him a glare, moved closer to Xiao Shu, distancing herself as far as she could from him, before lowering her voice, “I need to talk this over with my big brother, Second Brother. If they agree, only then can I go find my real brother.”

For these past years, without the protection of Ye Xinglan and Ye Xingli, she might have been dead already.

She and Xiao Shu could live without any worries and in peace, all thanks to the protection of Ye Xinglan and Ye Xingli.

She could not be ungrateful. Once she’d spoken with big brother and Second Brother about her identity, if they agreed, then she could go meet her real brothers.

“Your reasoning makes sense,” Gu Junzhu agreed, “Didn’t expect you to be so thoughtful at such a young age.”

He had initially feared that the little girl, upon suddenly discovering she had two real brothers, would be eager to build a relationship and would rush to contact them right away.

He had planned to remind her to consider Ye Xinglan and Ye Xingli’s feelings.contemporary romance

With Ye Xinglan and Ye Xingli’s character, they definitely wouldn’t stop Ye Xingbei from meeting her real family.

But if the little girl they raised left to meet her real brothers without letting them know, they, as her adoptive brothers, would understandably feel upset.

He brought this up tonight to remind Ye Xingbei.

He did not expect that Ye Xingbei had already thought this through herself.

Even though the little girl was young, she was surprisingly considerate in her decisions.

“I wasn’t being considerate, just following my heart,” Ye Xingbei said lazily, her eyes closed, “I just went with what I felt and decided accordingly.”

Her voice was soft, delicate, and sweet as honey.

Listening to her, Gu Junzhu felt a slight itch in his heart. Unable to help himself, he reached out and gently tousled her hair, his voice took on a softer edge, “Ye Xinglan and Ye Xingli didn’t spoil you for nothing, you’re a good girl!” Ye Xingbei blinked her eyes open, looking at him with unrecognition, “Did I hear that right? You can actually say nice things too! I thought you only knew how to be sarcastic!”

“…” Gu Junzhu scratched his nose, looking at her in confusion, “How does your impression of me end up so poor? Who among my acquaintances doesn’t recognize me as a model youth of positive character and high morals? I’m sympathetic, responsible, strong-willed, good-looking, fit, come from a good family, and I have wealth! To be honest, calling me a model youth is an understatement, I’m actually a perfect man!”

“…” Ye Xingbei looked up at the ceiling, “Too bad the ceiling’s in the way, or I bet I’d see a sky full of flying bullshit!”

Gu Junzhu chuckled, flicking her forehead lightly, “I doubt Ye Xinglan and Ye Xingli would object to you meeting your real family. When you’re ready to meet your brothers, let me know, I’ll come with you and watch your back. There’s also something else that you should probably know…”

Seeing the seriousness in Gu Junzhu’s tone, Ye Xingbei turned her head towards him, “Hmm?”

Gu Junzhu said, “The Jiang Family has always been the wealthiest family in Jiang City, you know that, right?”

“Of course!” Ye Xingbei nodded, “I heard that the Jiang Family has a long and distinguished history, their ancestors were among the prestigious clans in Jiang City. Despite various upheavals, they were lucky enough to retain many of their ancestral properties. After being managed by several generations, the Jiang Family went from prosperity to decline and back to prosperity again. By the time my great-grandfather took charge, the Jiang Family had already become the wealthiest in Jiang City.”

Gu Junzhu cracked a smile, “But now they are gradually starting to decline again.. Do you know why?”
