She sized up the apartment behind her.

The two sides of the entrance were made of glass. One side was for leisure and the other side was for living.

She saw her second brother on the left swimming in the pool. He probably didn’t know that his annoying sister was already here.

However, she was confused. Her second brother would always go to look for Zheng Min every time he came back from abroad. So why didn’t he go this time?

Tang Yandong was introducing apartments to his sister, but he didn’t hear any response from her for a long time. He turned to look at the girl who was already distracted.

“Bang!”

“Ouch…” Tang Wei took a deep breath, covered her nose, and looked at her brother.

Tang Yandong stroked her furry head and said, “You’re not a child anymore. Why are you still so careless when walking?”

Tang Wei felt a lump in her throat when she heard that. It wasn’t because she was in pain, but because she was reminded of her childhood.

Big Brother always said that she wasn’t serious when she walked.

Tang Yandong saw that her eyes had suddenly turned red. He pursed his lips and turned around, pretending not to see it.

“Come over here. Your second brother is swimming over there.”

He raised his voice and led Tang Wei to the right side.

Tang Wei followed silently, stopping herself from crying.

He was no longer the big brother from back then. He was no longer the only one who loved her.

Tang Yannan, who had been swimming, came out of the pool.

Looking at the girl’s back, his handsome face, which was happy when he was swimming, was immediately filled with annoyance. Why was his ignorant and incompetent sister here?

She even came all the way from A City. Did that mean Minmin was here too?

Thinking of this, Tang Yannan’s face was no longer as annoyed as before. With a smile on his devilish face, he changed his clothes and walked toward them.

He didn’t even look at his sister who was sitting on the sofa. He asked Tang Yandong directly, “Brother, where’s Minmin? Didn’t they say that Auntie Yan and Minmin would come together? Why…”

Tang Wei’s hand holding the water paused. The boiling water hurt for a while, but she still held the cup tightly as if there was no reaction.

Tang Wei lowered her eyes and helped him finish the rest of his sentence. He was probably going to ask, why did his annoying sister have to come first?

Tang Yandong glanced at him and said, “Not yet.”

Tang Yannan’s disappointment was written all over his face. “Let me ask them.”

After he took out his phone, the joy on his face increased. “Big Brother, they’ll be here in half an hour. I’ll go down to greet them first.”

After saying that, he left like a gust of wind. However, before he left, he glanced at Tang Wei.

“Your second brother is always like this,” said Tang Yandong when he saw him leave.

“I’m here to ask you. Did you take Mom’s belongings in my bedroom? Only you and I know about it.” Tang Wei said.

Tang Yandong knew that she was here for the things that her mother had placed in the secret compartment.

That day, when they were chatting in the group, Zheng Min had done a video call. The whole family had answered the call, and that’s when Tang Yandong noticed that Tang Wei had opened the secret compartment.

When he was 18 years old, he knew what his mother had put in the secret compartment. He looked at it in advance and found someone to fix the secret compartment again. For this reason, he had told Tang Wei to go on a trip and relax so that she wouldn’t find out.

After the trip, they returned to the Tang family and met Zheng Min and Zheng Yanyan. His second brother and younger brother liked them quite a lot.

Since he had seen the secret in the secret compartment, he let them be.

However, how could he allow Tang Wei to know that secret?

Let that secret never see the light of day again and rot in a stinking ditch…

“I didn’t know. I was far away from the ward at that time, and Mother asked me to go out.”

Tang Yandong looked like he was thinking.

His mother had indeed asked him to go out first, but he was worried about his mother and sister, so he deliberately walked slower.

However, he didn’t expect to hear about the secret compartment. His mother died less than two seconds after she finished speaking. She must have been in a hurry to Tang Wei about the secret compartment. Even if she realized Tang Yandong was walking slowly and heard everything, she didn’t have the strength nor time to say anything about it.

After his mother died, he still went out.

It was only when he heard his sister’s cries that he realized his mother had passed away. He clenched his fists and went in.

Tang Wei frowned. It was true that her mother had told him to go out, but then how did it disappear?

“You’re lying to me.” She looked at the man coldly.

Tang Yandong took out the first aid kit from the coffee table and gently removed the cup that Tang Wei was holding tightly.

He began to apply medicine gently on her forehead.

“Why would Big Brother lie to you… Little Wei, why are you still so impatient? Look, you’re even holding a cup so tightly.”

Why was he still pretending? Did everyone think that hurting her was a trivial matter? As long as they let it go, they could treat it as if nothing had happened and still smile?

“Enough!”

Tang Wei scolded him sternly. She stood up abruptly and knocked over the medicine in the man’s hand.

“I have nothing to do with you guys anymore. You don’t have to put on such a hypocritical act.”

“While knowing they’re all going to come, why did you call me here?”

“Tang Yandong, you’re the most hypocritical one. Stop pretending already because it disgusts me. You’re not worthy of being my big brother! None of you are worthy of being my family.”

Her only family member who loved her and cared for her had disappeared with her mother’s death.

Tang Wei said a lot, but her brother only stared at her with a pair of dark eyes.

His eyes were dark brown, just like Second Brother’s.

She turned around and left in disappointment.

Tang Yandong stopped smiling and said calmly, “Stop, if you still want Mother’s relic.”

“…”

Tang Wei turned her head abruptly.

How could he be so despicable!

Tang Yandong walked over and took her hand to re-apply the medicine.

“Ding dong~”

The elevator rang.

Tang Wei’s lips trembled as she pulled her hand back.

A joyful voice came from the entrance.

“Wow, Big Brother is actually so generous. He actually paid for our tickets to A City.”

the girl said mischievously.

Tang Yannan patted her head lovingly. “You’re already a popular actress now. Why do you still care about A City?”

“That’s different!”

She was famous in the entertainment industry, and she also had a heroic background. Moreover, her fans and audience also added filters to her backstory.

Zheng Min concealed her inner ambitions and put on a naive expression.

Zheng Yanyan said, “Your sister just wants to cling to your brother and you.”

“Ha!” Tang Wei sneered.

Zheng Yanyan heard the cold snort and looked over unhappily.

Their focus was on Zheng Min, so they naturally didn’t notice anyone else.

“Tang Wei!” She frowned.

When Zheng Min heard her mother mention Tang Wei, her face inevitably stiffened. Through the glass, she saw the woman and her brother standing there together.

However, seeing their faces, something unpleasant must have happened between them.

Zheng Min was pleased with herself for a while.

Her expression became more obedient and sensible. She then said coquettishly, “Second Brother, it’s a good thing you invited Sister Wei over today. Otherwise, I would’ve been angry.”

Then, she walked toward Tang Wei.

“She treated you and Aunt Yan so badly, but you’re still saying that?” Tang Yannan said nonchalantly.

“Minmin, why are you so silly?”

“Second Brother, don’t talk nonsense.” Zheng Min turned around and said seriously.

Zheng Yanyan said using a kind tone, “It’s okay, Yannan. Little Wei is still young and doesn’t know anything.”

“Tsk, she’s the same age as Minmin, but Minmin is much more sensible than her.”

Tang Yannan said indifferently.

“Tang Yannan, are you comparing her to me?” The corners of Tang Wei’s lips curled up coldly. She glanced at the girl who came in front of her. “She’s far from qualified yet.”
