Back inside, Yu Lian saw the two of them leaving their bags on the floor, already treating the place as their own home. She took off her coat and lay down on the edge of the balcony where it met the living room, basking in the sun.

"Next time you come, give me a heads-up, or I might unleash my dogs."

No sooner had these words been spoken than clever Cotton barked twice beside them.

This made He Ning'an burst into laughter.

Noticing the child's movements, Zhuo Heng asked hesitantly, "Sister Nian, you've never told me you were married?"

His fingers swung back and forth between Yu Lian and He Ning'an.

Seeing that she could no longer hide it, Yu Lian had no choice but to admit it.

"We got married and then divorced. It wasn't convenient for me to take care of the child before, but it's okay now. It just so happens to be his birthday, so I'm letting him come over to visit."

"Oh, I see. What about the three outside?"

"They are my younger brother and sister, born to my stepmother."

Yu Jinbu, who had just taken a sip of champagne, sprayed it all over the green plants next to him.

After he calmed down, he took a good look at his grandson.

"What did you say?"

He Ning'an glared at his grandfather. He was very angry with his grandfather and did not want to forgive the old man.

"What's it to you? Humph."

He turned and left, showing absolutely no respect for his grandfather.

Yu Lian didn't correct the child; her biological father deserved to be treated like this by the child for a while.

"This... Sister, this child is so rude. Uncle Yu is an elder, why don't you teach him a lesson?"

Yu Lian looked at her father and said, "I'm happy to spoil my child. If you don't like it, then leave."

Yu Jinbu chuckled twice and nudged Zhuo Heng's elbow.

"Never mind, don't take it to heart. I think that's why I scared his sister to tears earlier."

"That's true, but if Sister Nian spoils the child like this, what will happen when he grows up?"

Unsure of what to do, Yu Jinbu made up an excuse to brush it off.

I had originally planned to save it for the evening to blow out the birthday candles and give gifts.

Because of three uninvited guests.

In order to avoid arousing suspicion at home, He Ning'an had to bring her younger siblings home ahead of schedule.

The part about blowing out candles and making a wish is moved to the evening.

"Brother, why aren't you happy that we can eat cake today?"

Because of her love for sweets, He Ningxi, whose family strictly controls her intake, looked at her older brother with a sour face in bewilderment.

He Ning'an didn't reply, silently watching the scene before him.

The harmonious scene I had imagined of celebrating my mother's birthday happily was completely ruined.

An annoying grandfather, an uncle he doesn't even know, and he can't even stay overnight because of his younger siblings. "Brother, you eat."

He Ningxi didn't know why her older brother was angry, so she tried to appease him by handing him a slice of cake.

He Ning'an had no appetite and pushed it away.

Thinking her brother was going to catch the cake, He Ningxi lost her grip and the cake fell onto her new shoes.

"sorry."

He Ning'an, who had only wanted to refuse, was now filled with guilt.

He Ningxi, who initially thought it was nothing, became very aggrieved because of her older brother's words. She cried and complained, "Big brother, aren't I your sister? You don't like me at all."

The adults looked at each other in bewilderment. Yu Jinbu, who felt sorry for her granddaughter, originally wanted to go forward to help, but Yu Lian stopped her from going up.

"Let them figure it out themselves. Eat up, and I'll have to take them out when they're done."

"Is that okay?"

Yu Lian raised her chin, gesturing for her father to look over.

The brother and sister had made up without anyone noticing; it had only taken a few words.

He Ning'an disliked his younger siblings, but when he saw his mother just now, he suddenly remembered that his younger siblings were also his mother's children.

He would never have treated his sister like that in the past.

But as time went on, he grew to hate it more and more.

Until his mother reappeared, he hoped to spend more time alone with her and not let his younger siblings interfere and disrupt everything.

My younger siblings have been spoiled over the years, but they are still children who need their mother, just like I was back then.

Once things calmed down, the children were either eating cake or playing with cotton balls.

As the time drew closer, He Ning'an quietly called her mother back into the house.

He took a gift box out of his pocket.

"Happy birthday, Mom. This is a new gift I bought today. I haven't celebrated your birthday in the past few years, so this year makes five."

Yu Lian accepted them one by one, and then patted her son's head with satisfaction. "Thank you, An'an. Mommy loves you the most, mua~ My good son, hurry up and get your younger brother and sister ready. Remember, you must not reveal anything about Mommy."

"Mom, you won't be walking anymore, right?"

"Of course, once Mommy has taken care of some things, I'll take you home, okay?"

He Ning'an stood up excitedly and hugged her mother, "Can I see Grandma and Auntie too?"

"Of course, in two months when you become a junior high school student, Yuncheng's maternal grandmother and aunt will come to visit you and your younger siblings."

While the mother and son were interacting warmly inside the house, they didn't notice a child standing on tiptoe by the window in the corridor, peeking inside.

He Ningze looked at the people and conversation inside the room, his little head filled with big questions.

……

5:30.

Yu Lian took the child to the road and hailed a car.

Then I followed the car until I saw them get off and go home.

Only then did she turn around and leave.

Meanwhile, He Ningze looked at his elder brother with a meaningful gaze.

He suddenly remembered something: Huang Jiaming's parents in his class were divorced, and his grandmother had told him since he was a child that his mother was dead and would never come back.

A few days ago, she found a large bag of foreign chocolates in her bag, saying that her mother had brought them back. Her mother was not dead at all, and her grandparents and father had all lied to her.

I was afraid she would want to find her mother.

With a template, He Ningze felt he was the smartest kid in the family.

But when he learned the truth, the way he looked at his older brother changed.

She felt very angry when she thought about how she and her younger siblings had been abandoned for so many years.

"Big brother, I hate you!!"

After shouting this in front of the whole family, He Ningze ran upstairs as fast as he could.

A group of people were left looking at He Ning'an in a daze.

"An'an, did you and your brother have a fight?"

He Ning'an looked completely innocent. "No, he's gone mad."

With a calm expression, He Ning'an returned to her room.

He Ningxi explained for her brother, "Big brother didn't have any. Second brother probably ate too much cake. I should have given some to me."

Even now, He Ningxi still savors the taste of that cake; it was the best cake she had ever eaten.

"Where did you all go?"

"At Teacher Yu's house, her house is very big and she has a dog. It looks fierce, but it's actually very cute."

He Ningxi sat down on the stool and, for the first time ever, served herself a bowl of rice and began to eat.

"Sui Sui, why did you run off to the teacher's house?"

He Ningchuan turned on the TV, sat in his usual spot, and stared intently at it, saying, "We followed our brother, and he wasn't going to his girlfriend's house at all. He was going to his teacher's house to celebrate his teacher's birthday."

Li Ying and He Xinglan subconsciously assumed it was their teacher's birthday and that the class was invited.

They didn't ask any further questions, but simply told them to give their teacher a gift tomorrow and bring it to school.

Upstairs at this moment.

He Ningze sneaked into his father's study, carefully stepped onto a stool, took a book from the high bookshelf, and then carefully opened it.

Because he saw clearly what the woman holding his sister looked like in the photo, he lost his balance and fell from a high place in the United States.
