Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

If you can't grasp it, then I'll help you summarize it!

Yu Zhe coughed awkwardly twice and concluded.

"Anyway! I was confused at the time why Zixiao suddenly brought this up, but now that you've mentioned it, I understand. It turns out that Mom told her about her background. From Zixiao's words, I can tell that she not only doesn't have any complaints, but she even regrets not meeting us sooner. Sigh, Zixiao is such a good girl..."

"I see... If she can say that, then it seems there really is no problem."

Yun'er has figured it out. The words spoken when doing those things must have been the most sincere of all. Brother Yuzhe made his judgment based on this, and it's reasonable and well-founded!

At the same time, she admired Zixiao in her heart. She was indeed a girl who could slowly open up Yuzhe's heart and reach his inner self through the little things in life. She was really amazing.

Yu Che understood.

She breathed a sigh of relief, changed her sitting posture, and let her two white-stockinged legs dangle naturally down the sofa, not touching the ground.

"It's good that you don't feel unwell... Hmph, that little Zixiao, she made me worry for nothing."

All morning!

"So you're only getting excited now that you've made sure she's alright, huh... Can't you keep up that reliable act for a few more minutes...?"

That's why Zixiao always criticizes you. Look at you, you don't act like an older sister at all!

57. There aren't that many coincidences.

Thus, the problem, which was not really a problem, was easily solved.

Explaining this matter to Yu Che and Yun'er is not only to let them know that Zi Xiao has no lingering resentment, but also to prevent them from feeling any guilt towards Zi Xiao.

What happened back then was not something we could decide. We were too young to decide whether to take Zixiao into the turbulent Su family.

By the time we recovered and grew up to where we are today, and things had calmed down, Zixiao had grown into such an outstanding young woman.

That is enough.

As for the process, let it be. All Yu Zhe cares about is the present and the future.

Zixiao has completely integrated into this family. Whether it's luck or fate, or her own hard work, as long as she can be happy today, tomorrow, and in the future, Yuzhe is very satisfied with life.

Presumably, Yu Che and Yun'er should be the same.

Yu Che put on her cat-decorated slippers, feeling relieved and calm. She gracefully brushed the few strands of silver hair that had fallen in front of her back.

Finally, things have returned to normal.

She gripped the hem of her skirt with both hands, her eyes filled with relief and determination as she looked at Yu Zhe.

"Well... it's good to know she didn't think too much about it. We're not from the previous generation; she's family to us. Now, even if something happens to the Su family, we have enough power to protect her. Sigh... thinking about it now, it's really scary. It's a good thing that Zixiao didn't stand out when she first came to the Su family. If she had gone to banquets, meetings, and various large events with my brother and me and stepped onto the stage, she probably would have been seen as a thorn in the side by those branch families long ago. Luckily... before starting junior high school, Zixiao basically stayed cooped up in her room."

It wasn't that she wanted to keep it to herself.

It was simply that...her brother didn't want to see her at that time.

Back then, my brother always said that he didn't understand why Mom would bring a completely unrelated stranger home. He said that Zixiao was an eyesore and annoying, and he hoped that she would not appear in front of him.

Xiao Zixiao is really obedient. When Yu Zhe tells her to disappear, she always stays far away and acts as a nobody, while also serving as Yu Zhe's little maid.

Yun'er didn't witness these things firsthand. By the time Zixiao arrived at the Su family, the Mo family's upheaval had already occurred.

But she had heard Zixiao tell her about this past event.

So when this topic came up, Mo Lingyun sighed and said, "Yes, it really feels very coincidental. Isn't it a coincidence that Brother Yuzhe's indifference back then actually saved Zixiao's life?"

Yu Che tilted her head: "Saved her life? What do you mean, huh..."

As soon as the question was asked, it seems that the quick-witted Yu Che had already reacted at an extremely fast speed.

Yun'er nodded in agreement: "Yes, if Brother Yuzhe hadn't been indifferent to Zixiao and kept his distance back then, but had treated her warmly and stayed by her side every step of the way, I guess... Zixiao wouldn't have lived for many years. This is just my guess! It's just a matter of probability!"

"I think you guessed right..." Yu Che had to admit Yun'er's statement.

It's likely that when Zixiao first came to the Su family, many forces were keeping an eye on the family's movements.

If the older brother had shown care and acceptance towards Zixiao back then, it would have inevitably aroused strong vigilance regarding the division of the family. Those people were able to ask their mother to leave Fenghai, and it would have been even easier for them to get rid of Zixiao, who had no background.

The reason they didn't is because their brother ignored Zixiao back then, making her invisible, and even when the family split up, they forgot about this insignificant person.

Who would care that the main family has gained another little maid to take care of the young master?

Yu Che immediately gave Yu Zhe a thumbs up.

"Brother, well done! If we analyze it this way, all the credit for Zixiao being alright is yours. You've kept Zixiao away from you for years, it's practically the biggest coincidence in the world... uh... no..."

"Sister Yuche? What's wrong?"

Yun'er suddenly noticed that Yu Che had fallen into deep thought as he was talking.

She doesn't need to rack her brains anymore.

Of course, Yu Zhe can tell them the answer~

"It's not a coincidence, there aren't that many coincidences in the world~"

"I knew it!!" Yu Che was so surprised she couldn't contain herself, her eyes filled with longing and admiration for her brother.

Yun'er was completely baffled: "So what are you talking about? What coincidence or not?"

"How can you be as stupid as Zixiao!"

"..."

While criticizing Yun'er, they didn't forget to also attack Zixiao.

Yu Che, you truly live up to your reputation.

Yu Che was very excited. She took off her slippers again and simply stood on the sofa!

The moment her white-stockinged little feet touched the bouncy sofa, the sofa bounced up and down several times, causing Yu Zheyun'er to move up and down several times as well.

Yu Che's perplexing behavior only confused Yun'er more.

Oh right... from this angle, Yu Zhe can confirm it: Yu Che is wearing either white pantyhose or white over-the-knee stockings.

Yu Che didn't care whether Mo Lingyun was confused or not; all she wanted to do now was show off how amazing her brother was!

She opened her arms wide, scattering flowers like a celestial maiden towards Yu Zhe, her eyes overflowing with pride.

Yu Zhe didn't stop her; he found Yu Che's behavior today quite amusing.

Yu Che hasn't had a good rest these past two days, and she's been listless. Today is a good day to cheer her up.

So Yu Zheye

So we let her continue talking.

“Listen carefully, Mo Lingyun! You’ll definitely be surprised when you hear this, but you need to stay calm and don’t lose your composure like I did.”

"So you do realize you're not calm...?"

"Silence! Let me continue!"

Yu Che raised his right index finger, stood with his feet apart, and put his left hand on his hip. His expression was extremely arrogant.

"My brother is really amazing! He must have guessed why Zixiao came to the Su family when she first arrived! So all that distance and indifference he showed towards Zixiao back then wasn't him being difficult; he was protecting her from the very beginning!"

"Oh, is that so? From the very beginning... Eh, eh?! Sister Yuche, are you serious?! Brother Yuzhe was still in elementary school back then!"

"That's why it's so amazing, isn't it!"

Yun'er knew that her brother Yuzhe was a genius, but to be a genius to this extent was truly unbelievable.

Putting aside the fact that Brother Yuzhe was young at the time, even if we put this matter in the present day, without an equal amount of information, how could he possibly guess the reason why Zixiao came to the Su family?

Aunt faked her death, but told Yu Zhe's brother that she was really dead.

They inexplicably brought a little girl home and said she would be your sister from now on, and you should treat her well.

Although the family division was fraught with twists and turns, Yu Zhe's brother probably didn't confront the dark side of the family at that time.

Despite such a disadvantageous information gap, how could he directly guess that his aunt brought Zixiao back to be a "shield"? And that wasn't all; Yuzhe could even make a decision on how to protect Zixiao in a short time!

If these are true, then it's really outrageous...

Yu Zhe scratched the back of his head, smiling wryly as he avoided the admiring gazes that Yu Che and Yun'er were simultaneously casting at him.

Yun'er just said she wouldn't be as impulsive as Yu Che, how come she caught it so quickly...?

Yu Zhe confessed.

"Haha... Actually, I wasn't so sure at the time. I just guessed that my mother faked her death, and I also guessed that there might be some powerful force in the family involved."

"The girl my mother brought back before she disappeared. I think if I don't do anything, she definitely won't be very safe in the Su family. After all, my mother herself is in danger. I tried to send Zixiao out of the Su family by using reasons like 'I hate strangers coming to our house' and 'make her disappear,' but my father stopped me. This indirectly confirmed my guess that the child must have been brought to the Su family as a shield."

"After thinking about it, I realized that sending her away would be useless. She had already come to the Su family, so she must have already taken on risks. Sending her away might actually make things more dangerous. It would be better to keep her at home so that she could be protected. As for how to protect Zixiao, I was just taking a chance at the time. If I couldn't send her to the Su family, I could only try my best to distance myself from her and marginalize her, making her as inconspicuous as possible. Ideally, she shouldn't say a word to me. Now it seems that my attempt was correct."

By the time they accepted Zixiao, the Su family had already settled down.

Yu Cheyun'er was dumbfounded.

You call this an experiment? This is practically a meticulously planned scheme!

While they were still at the age of watching cartoons on TV every day...

Yu Zhe has actually started to become Zi Xiao's hero!

58. A Rare Argument (Bonus Chapter)

"Wait... that's not right either?"

Yu Che's mood was like a roller coaster, going up and down, fluctuating wildly.

Once she recalled some specific events from her childhood, a strong sense of incongruity arose, creating a stark conflict with what Yu Zhe had just said.

As far as Yu Che knows, her brother really disliked Zi Xiao when they were little.

That wasn't an act. If you were to pretend, you could do it in front of Zixiao and outsiders. Why would you need to pretend in front of yourself?

During the period immediately after their mother disappeared, the older brother became very vulnerable and sensitive. Even if he had the capacity to make such a meticulous and calm judgment, he would have sought support and help from Yu Che.

But my brother just said that it was all an act...?

Yu Che knew that she was the person her brother trusted and was closest to. If he had this plan when he was a child, he wouldn't have needed to hide it from her.

Or rather, it's strange that Yu Che only found out about this today.

...It's very disappointing.

Does my brother not even trust me...?
