Guan Shu gave Su Haitian and his wife a meaningful look before leaving.

Guan Xian was completely bewildered. Why did he need Su An to apologize to him? What nonsense were Su An's parents spouting?

He thought for a moment, then moved his head closer to Yan An's hand, waiting for Yan An to continue touching his hair.

Yan An remained motionless, scrutinizing Guan Xian.

Su Haitian and his wife chased after Guan Shu for a few steps, but he was tall and had long legs and walked very fast, so they gave up and hurried to find Yan An.

Upon arrival, they were greeted by the sight of Guan Xian kneeling beside Yan An's legs.

"Su An! What are you doing?! Quickly help Guan Xian up!" Su Haitian shouted sternly.

Guan Xian frowned, stood up, and blocked Yan An's path, looking at Su Haitian. "Uncle Su, why are you being so fierce to Su An?"

Su Haitian and his wife realized that the situation was not quite what they had expected.

I was taken aback.

Su Zhuo returned at this time.

As soon as he entered the door, he shouted, "Dad! Our family is going to make a fortune! I've already made arrangements with someone! As long as Su An agrees to sign with them, that person will give me at least eight figures..."

Su Zhuo was speaking when he saw Su Yun and An Yuqing were also at home.

"Hey! Yuqing! You're here too!" Su Zhuo quickly stepped forward and said solicitously, "What do you think of the necklace I gave you last time?"

An Yuqing glanced awkwardly at Su Yun.

Su Yun made no attempt to hide her feelings, saying, "Yuqing already gave me the necklace and asked me to return it to you on her behalf! I said, brother, Yuqing has said many times that she doesn't like you, can you please stop doing this?"

Su Zhuo's expression stiffened for a moment, then he glanced around and, not seeing Yan An, resumed his nonchalant demeanor, saying, "Yu Qing, I truly like you. Why can't you give me a chance... I know you've often come to my house these past two years, I know... Actually, you also want to see me, but you're just not sure about it yet."

An Yuqing was initially a little nervous, but after hearing the last sentence, all she felt was disgust.

She could only refuse again.

Su Zhuo was rejected again and was about to have a mental breakdown. He couldn't help but look at An Yuqing and think to himself: "You bastard, what are you pretending for? If it weren't for that bastard Chen Ke liking you, and Chen Ying and his illegitimate younger brother Chen Ke going against him and pursuing you as well, I would have secretly tried to annoy Chen Ying... Otherwise, I wouldn't have tried to win you over so many times, and you still dare to reject me!?"

Su Yun rolled her eyes and said, "Brother, save your breath! Don't even mention Yu Qing, you haven't even managed to get Ning Mei, and you're still talking about this..."

Su Zhuo's face was somewhat distorted. He got angry when Ning Mei was mentioned. The girl he liked in elementary school was Ning Mei.

He and Ning Mei coincidentally ended up in the same class in high school, and he even pursued her, but unfortunately he was always rejected.

On the contrary, last year, he personally saw Ning Mei's younger sister, Ning Xue, walking her dog, and she was completely infatuated with Su An, who was just passing by.

Despite being brothers, the difference between them was so great, which made Su Zhuo's jealousy and malice towards Su An grow deeper and deeper.

During this time, Su An became popular online again. He took advantage of his status as Su An's older brother to get to know some people who previously wouldn't even give him a second glance. He even accepted benefits from some of them, and naturally agreed to their conditions...

In short, he had already sold Su An for a good price in advance, and was just waiting to trick Su An into signing the document.

Thinking this through, Su Zhuo felt he had done something entirely beneficial, and his spirits lifted again. He called out, "Dad? Where are you? Mom?"

He was not afraid at all that Su An would hear him say that he wanted to use him to make a lot of money.

……

Zhong Xiuli and Su Haitian heard Su Zhuo's rant as soon as he returned, and Yan An and Guan Xian naturally heard it as well.

Yan An was not surprised at all.

Su Zhuo is that kind of person; he's been consistently bad, inside and out, since he was a child.

"That's Su An's older brother, Su Zhuo, who's back. That kid just loves to joke around!" Zhong Xiuli tried to smooth things over.

Immediately afterwards, the couple rushed out to stop Su Zhuo, telling him that there were still guests in the house and he shouldn't say anything inappropriate at this time...

Yan An hasn't reacted yet.

Guan Xian had already clenched his fists.

It was only then that Guan Xian realized that Su An's family members did not seem to love Su An.

What a joke! Do you think he's an idiot?

Su An's brother wants to sell Su An out!!

Guan Xian's breathing became heavy, and even his limbs trembled slightly.

His anger made Yan An appear as calm as an outsider.

Guan Xian looked at Yan An with restraint, not daring to look too closely, afraid of seeing Yan An's hurt expression, thinking he would go crazy.

Yan An was actually quite upset.

But he had become accustomed to suppressing these uncomfortable emotions.

Until he saw Guan Xian's appearance at this moment.

So this is what it feels like to have someone who is anxious about what you are anxious about and angry about what you are angry about?

A strong emotional resonance.

In an instant, Yan An felt as if Guan Xian was one with him, and that they were on the same side.

A tear fell.

Yan An's eyes welled up with even more tears, making her pupils appear even brighter. Her eyelashes trembled like butterflies with wet wings, so fragile and pitiful.

Even so, Yan An did not utter a single sound.

Even when he cried, he remained silent.

And so, Guan Xian saw it.

Don't cry—don't cry—

Almost at the same time, Guan Xian felt his eyes getting hot.

He never imagined that one day he would be so afraid, and so angry at making someone cry.

His voice sounded like it was being squeezed out from between his teeth; he tried hard to make his tone gentler, much gentler, "Su An, do you... do you consider him your brother? Do you acknowledge them?"

Yan An felt as if her brain had been split in two, one part filled with extreme sorrow, and the other with the calmness of an observer.

He was experiencing a strange sense of detachment amidst his grief.

Yan An looked at Guan Xian, vaguely sensing what was about to happen, but still shook his head, "No."

Then he saw Guan Xian turn around and rush out.
