driver immediately turned the car around. 。Towards Evening remembered her brother's number, but she called him three times, and each time the other end said, "Sorry, the number you dialed is currently...He Hanchuan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, but he didn't say anything.

That night's pregnancy, is it true or not You can tell me about this, right" Zhao Yu rubbed his temples and asked.

He lowered his gaze. "Really."

"Ai—" Zhao Yu sighed meaningfully, and after a long while said, "If there's something you can't solve, don't try to force it."

He Hanchuan hummed softly in response, then got up and said, "I'll go first."

"Go find Wanwan" Zhao Yu asked.

He nodded and got out of the car.

Looking at his departing figure, Zhao Yu's expression was incredibly complex. She picked up her phone and dialed a number, "Go to the hospital and check if Wanwan has..."

She paused halfway through her sentence, and didn't continue until they asked several times. After struggling for a moment, she finally said, "Forget it."

Then he hung up the phone.

To a home villa.

Two years passed, and besides a few new decorative items, the villa remained unchanged. Yet, after eighteen years of living in this place,向晚 still felt no sense of belonging.

She sat on the sofa in the living room, her buttocks only barely touching the edge, staring blankly as the new aunt placed the sliced fruit, tea, and snacks on the table.

"Wanwan, these passion fruits are all fresh and taste good. I remember you love eating them the most, try some!" Yu Jingyun pushed the fruit platter towards Yue Wan, with a hint of shyness and a touch of flattery in her demeanor.

向晚 glanced at the fruit and, under Jingyin's eager gaze, picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, "Thank you."

Seeing that she was willing to eat, a hint of surprise appeared on Jingyun's face. But when she heard the thank you, that surprise turned into bitterness.

"Wan Wan is already home, why are you still crying" Xiang Jianguo frowned.

"Why are you crying" Yu Jingyun snatched a handkerchief and wiped her eyes, then shouted at him, "When the He family is good to Wanwan, you call her Wanwan. When the He family isn't good to Wanwan, you quickly distance yourself from Xiang Wan!"

"Xiang Jianguo, how come I never noticed you were so disgusting before!"

The new aunt stood aside, secretly glancing at Jian Guo several times.

Toward Jian Guo, some couldn't face down. His face flushed red as he said, "What did I just say What's wrong with you lately You act like a mental patient. You haven't even said anything yet and you're already getting angry!"

"You say I'm crazy This is… who made me like this" Yu Jingyun threw the handkerchief, already soaked with tears, onto the table and stood up, demanding an answer.

Xiang Jianguo had long been accustomed to her twenty years of meekness. Now, being addressed so boldly, his face flushed red and then pale as he gasped, "You...cough...you..."

He clutched his neck, his face growing increasingly pale.

Seeing this, Jingyun didn't yell at him anymore. She quickly fetched the medicine and told the aunt beside her, "Quickly bring a cup of water!"

向晚 looked coldly at the farce, a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.

She let out a snort of laughter, stood up and marched towards Yu, saying, "Brother, I want to talk to you privately!"

"Huh Oh oh!" Xiangyu hurriedly turned his wheelchair and followed behind her.

Upon seeing this, Jingyun immediately patted Xiang Jianguo's back a few times and then hurriedly wanted to follow him.

Si Tu stopped walking and turned to look at her, her voice soft, "I have some things I want to say to my brother alone. Mrs. Si, it's best if you don't follow us."

"Wanwan, you..." Yu Jingyun's eyes reddened.

A-wan furrowed her brows, thinking about all the changes her mother had made for her. For a moment, she felt a softening in her heart. But ultimately, she resolutely turned away before her mother could finish speaking and strode out.

"Mom, don't cry, your eyes are all swollen! Just wipe them yourself!" Xiang Yu impatiently scratched his head and said a few words to Yu Jingyun, then turned his wheelchair and followed Xiang Wan out the door.

As the sun set, Xiang Wan stood with her back to him. The orange sunlight bathed her, stretching her shadow long and making her seem lonely.

Toward's heart was heavy, "Wanwan, Mom is just this kind of person. She's already changed a lot now, so don't be too hard on her! If you're happy, just smile at her twice, so she doesn't cry all day over your affairs!"

"Heh." Xiang Wan let out a light chuckle.

Xiang Yu was incredibly agitated, tugging at his hair. "If you don't want to, you don't have to force yourself. I just think Mom crying all the time is... quite... annoying!"

"I had long given up hope for her, so how could I demand anything from her" Xiang Wan smiled bitterly, "She has changed a lot for me, but..."

She hesitated for a moment, then said ambiguously, "Brother, I can't get over that hurdle in my heart."

Hurting someone is like hammering nails into a piece of wood. Even if you treat them well later, once the nails are removed, there will still be marks left behind, and it won't be as good as new.

"I know!" Xiang Yu slammed his fist heavily on the wheelchair armrest, gritting his teeth. "If it weren't for Jiang Qingran orchestrating that car accident, our family wouldn't be like this!"

Towards Evening turned, looking at him. She stood with her back to the light, her features shrouded in shadow, her expression unreadable.

It's a pity, there are no ifs.

"Ge," Xiang Wan's voice was very soft, "After this, don't bother with my affairs anymore."

Hearing this, Xiang Yu's face instantly turned pale. "Why won't you let me handle this Am I displeasing you Don't you even want to acknowledge me as your brother anymore Or do you..."

"Ge—" 向晚 dragged out her voice, calling his name.

Xiang Yu turned his wheelchair to her side and said urgently, "Do you think I'm stupid Am I always messing things up and causing trouble for you I've started learning how to do things at the company. Even if I'm not as capable as that He guy, I won't cause you any more trouble!"

His voice softened abruptly, laced with a hint of pleading, "Wanwan, don't disown your brother, okay"

"I don't dislike you, gege." Xiangwan tugged at her lips, trying to smile, but tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

She raised her head, wiped the corner of her eyes, and tried to pull up the corners of her lips. She reached out and wiped the tears from Xiang Yu's face. "When no one wanted me, my brother still treated me like a treasure in his palm. How could I bear to dislike my brother"

“Stop wiping, I didn't cry, it’s just that…just now…my eyelashes fell into my eyes, it was so irritating!” Xiang Yu shook her hand away and said angrily, “If you weren’t disgusted with me, why wouldn’t you let me take care of your business”

Towards the end of her sentence, A-Wan's smile faded slightly. "Brother, Grandpa He is different from He Hanchuan. You can't get away with..." causing trouble in front of him.

"If you called me out here just to say this, then there's nothing more to discuss!" Xiang Yu turned his wheelchair 180 degrees with a face ashen with anger and wheeled it back into the villa. "Unless I die, I will never abandon you!"

When he was finished speaking, he had already entered the villa.
