Playing the male antagonist in a melodramatic novel is fine for a bit of fun.

Chen Zhou's expression: 囧!

He then realized that Chen Xin didn't know the truth like he did, so it was normal for her to make such a connection.

Chen Zhou didn't try to hide anything and said directly, "What I mean is, he is very likely your older brother."

Chen Xin was taken aback, then said, "You're not joking?"

She found out by chance when she was in elementary school that Chen Zhou was not her biological brother.

She cried so hard at the time, and even shouted that she wanted her parents to change Chen Zhou to her biological brother.

It's that his identity was changed to that of his biological brother, not that the person was replaced.

Chen Zhou turned around, held out his hand, and a tuft of hair was clearly visible in his palm: "I'm even planning to do a paternity test, do you think I'm joking or not?"

Chen Xin's eyes lit up: "When did you get this? Is it meant to be a training manual for us? I didn't see it!"

Clearly, the news that Li Ming might be her older brother was less interesting to Chen Xin than the topic of martial arts.

This is normal, though, because in Chen Xin's world, it was Chen Zhou who accompanied her as she grew up.

Therefore, she had no interest in Li Ming.

Whether she comes back or not is fine, the Chen family can afford to support her anyway, that's Chen Xin's attitude.

Seeing Chen Xin's appearance, Chen Zhou continued, "When we get home, you can take care of Mom's hair, and I'll take care of Dad's."

Chen Xin nodded: "Okay, but should I tell my sister?"

Chen Zhou: "Either is fine."

……

The Chen family.

As soon as Chen Zhou and Chen Xin entered the house, they saw a spirited white-haired old man in a Tang suit and an elegant old lady.

These two people are Chen Zhou's grandfather, Chen Zhen, and grandmother, Qiao Yan.

Beside them was Chen Mu, who kept winking and waving his hand, urging Chen Zhou to leave quickly.

Although he didn't know the specifics, Chen Zhou naturally chose to obey since his father had given him this signal.

Before the two elders could speak, Chen Zhou had already dashed up to the second floor.

"Halt!" A voice, aged yet authoritative, rang out, its owner resembling an emperor issuing commands.

However, this voice, powerful enough to command anyone in the Chen family, did not stop Chen Zhou's steps in the slightest.

Chen Zhou didn't even listen and dashed back to his room.

Downstairs, Chen Zhen was so angry at Chen Zhou's behavior that he blew his beard and glared at him.

His tiger-like eyes widened as he glared at Chen Mu and said, "Look at this! This is the fine son you've raised!"

"Even when I, as his grandfather, give the order, I can't get him to listen?"

Chen Mu chuckled and said, "It's normal for kids to grow up and have their own thoughts."

Qiao Yan patted Chen Zhen's back to comfort him, saying, "You came in with a long face, it's normal that Zhou doesn't want to talk to you."

"Young people these days are not like we were back then. They won't obediently let others lecture them. You have to talk to them in an attitude they can accept."

Chen Mu chimed in, "Look how sensible my mother is."

"Young people these days are like donkeys that need to be stroked; you have to go along with them, or they won't listen."

While the three were talking, Chen Xin leaned closer to Tong Xiao and Chen Ya and whispered, "What happened? Why is Grandpa here?"

Chen Ya glanced in Chen Zhen's direction, and only after realizing that Chen Zhen hadn't noticed them did she speak sarcastically, "They beat up the little one, so the old one came."

Chen Xin: ?

I heard it, but I didn't understand it at all.

Tong Xiao then spoke up to explain to her youngest daughter, "Yesterday, your brother taught a lesson to someone named Zhang Ling at the gathering, right? That person has some connection with Doctor Ji."

"Your grandfather and Doctor Ji had a good relationship, so Doctor Ji approached your grandfather, wanting your brother to apologize and also wanting to take away that old ginseng."

Chen Xin then understood the true meaning of "beating the young brings the old," and then asked curiously, "So the old ginseng was given away?"

Tong Xiao shook her head: "Putting aside your brother's plan to use old ginseng to help us practice, 500-year-old ginseng is already very rare. How can we give it away so easily?"

Speaking of this, Tong Xiao scoffed, "I don't know what got into Gu Lianhu that he actually gave away this old ginseng."

The value of old ginseng cannot be simply measured in monetary terms.

This thing can truly be passed down as a family heirloom.

If used in martial arts practice, it can cultivate masters in a very short time.

Chen Xin nodded in agreement, then quietly approached Tong Xiao, reached out and hugged Tong Xiao's shoulders, inadvertently pressing down on Tong Xiao's hair.

Tong Xiao wasn't surprised by her daughter's closeness, but simply said, "Don't press so hard, it'll hurt your head."

Chen Xin: "Oh."

We've already received the left and right sides of the hair; now we're just waiting for my brother to get Dad's hair.

Chen Xin didn't actually care about Li Ming. The reason she acted so efficiently was partly because of Chen Zhou's instructions, and partly because she knew that this had always been a worry for her parents.

Therefore, it is best to decide as early as possible.

On the other hand, Chen Zhen was still very angry.

He pointed at Chen Mu's nose and almost roared, "Not of my Chen family bloodline, you really can't be tamed."

"I told you from the beginning that I shouldn't have let him study abroad."

"After studying abroad, he's become wild and won't listen to me anymore."

"A couple of years ago, I wanted to introduce my old friend's granddaughter to him, but instead, he took the girl hiking for a week. I lost all face in front of my old friend."

When you feel unhappy with someone, everything they've done is considered wrong and will be brought up and criticized.

At this moment, Chen Zhen was in this state.

Faced with Chen Zhen's state, Chen Mu neither refuted nor agreed with him.

Experience told him that this way the war wouldn't reach him.

As Chen Zhen spoke, he grew tired of talking.

Finally, he concluded, "If you had taken better care of my grandson back then, I wouldn't be suffering like this now."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mu and Tong Xiao's expressions changed.

Qiao Yan's expression also changed slightly. She tugged at Chen Zhen and said, "Your dad was in a hurry and spoke without thinking."

Chen Zhen realized his mistake and knew he had said the wrong thing.

It's acceptable to say a child is lost, but it shouldn't be used as an excuse for blaming others after a fit of anger.

But he still couldn't bring himself to apologize, and in the end, he could only avoid Chen Mu and Tong Xiao's gaze.
