    “So, did you and Aunt Wang… have a fight?”

    Xue Xue raised his eyes.

    Zhao Heping looked at her clear eyes and felt dazed for a moment.

    “It’s not really a quarrel.”

    After Xue Xue spoke, he regained his composure.

    “What’s going on?”

    Xue Xue did not answer immediately, but thought for a moment.

    “Did she say anything to you?”

    Zhao Heping shook his head.

    “She didn’t say anything.”

    That’s what makes people worry.

    In his memory, the relationship between Wang Lihua and Xue Qi has always been stable. Although he feels that the way they get along is not as harmonious as an ordinary mother and daughter, as an “outsider”, Zhao Heping has no room for comment.

    Although unconsciously, the scale that was originally tilted to one side seems to be slowly getting right.

    “That’s it.” Xue Xue smiled.”Actually, it’s nothing. It’s just that we have some differences in opinions.”

    Hearing this, the man raised his eyebrows with amusement in his eyes.

    “Difference of opinion?”

    “Uh-huh.”

    I originally thought that the other party would continue to ask more questions, but unexpectedly, he just said: “Don’t force yourself.”

    Xue Xue was startled.

    “Not every word from parents must be accepted by children.”

    “You should let your own feelings take priority.” He paused.”After all, Aunt Wang…is not so rational sometimes.”

    Although he didn’t have much contact, Zhao Heping had always noticed it.

    “It may not work, but if necessary, I can speak to Aunt Wang on your behalf.”

    Zhao Heping’s words are enough.

    “Thank you, brother.” Xue Xue grinned, two pointed tiger teeth exposed, pressing against the pink lips, like a little rabbit.”I can handle it myself.”

    The implication is that there is no need for him to intervene.

    Zhao Heping originally just wanted Xue Xue to know that there was no one behind her.

    If you have a backer, you can be willful.

    “That’s good.” The man put down his chopsticks.”So, you have something important to tell me. What is it?”

    After going around in a circle, I finally got back to the topic.

    Xue Xue pursed her lips.

    “Am I not trustworthy enough for you?” Seeing her hesitation, Zhao Heping asked, “So you can’t express your thoughts frankly?”

    “No, it’s not.” His eyelids trembled, and Xue Xue’s hands on his knees clenched into fists.”It’s just this matter…”

    “A bit unspeakable?”

    “Well…”

    She knows, just say it.

    It’s not that difficult.

    However, Xue Xue knew better that it was not that simple.

    What she wants to poke is a hornet’s nest.

    The Zhao family’s hornet’s nest.

    Because I know what happened in my previous life and opened up God’s perspective, I feel that everything is natural. However, when I am really involved in the situation, I find that foresight may not necessarily lead to everything going smoothly.

    What’s more, humans are emotional creatures and it is difficult to be completely rational.

    Xue Qi himself has an easily entangled personality, so it is impossible for Xue Xue not to be affected.

    But her intuition told her that if she didn’t say anything, it would really be too late.

    No one wants to be the villain who tears apart the surface of peace, but someone has to be the villain.

    “If you feel it’s hard to say it and still want to say it, then be brave enough to say it.”

    Zhao Heping leaned his upper body against the back of the chair.

    “If you speak out, we can work together to find a solution. If you don’t speak out, it will always be an unspeakable problem, right?”

    The curve of the man’s mouth is like the curve of a mountain, building a safety barrier in the open wilderness.

    He’s right.

    Now that we are all here…

    Xue Xue took a deep breath.

    “Actually…”

    If silence were tangible, it would probably fill the entire space.

    Warm yellow light shines on the empty table, with a heavy reddish-brown background, and the unique and beautiful texture of peach heart wood is engraved on it, as if it were carefully outlined with a brush, a gift from the years.

    When Xue Xue first spoke, his voice was shaking.

    But Zhao Heping always maintained a serious and peaceful attitude to listen. Unknowingly, Xue Xue’s hanging heart also fell back to its original place.

    She briefly but clearly told the “truth” and “secrets” that she knew and that Zhao Heping should also know.

    Until the last word fell, Xue Xue let out a long breath as if a heavy burden had finally been lifted.

    Then, she opened her eyelids and glanced at Zhao Heping quietly.

    The man’s expression seemed quite calm at first glance.

    But Xue Xue noticed the undercurrent hidden under the calm surface from the subtle changes in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

    The ups and downs of emotions are being suppressed by hard work.

    “Finished?”

    After waiting for a long time, Xue Xue waited and said this.

    She nodded tremblingly.

    It seems like it was back to the day when Xue Qi followed Wang Lihua and stepped into the Zhao family gate. Facing his unfamiliar brother, he unconsciously felt nervous and full of pressure.

    “Is there anything else?” Zhao Heping then asked, “Do you know?”

    She shook her head.

    “Okay.”

    Zhao Heping’s eyes were as dark as the sea level before a storm.

    “So, He An’s biological mother is not my mother, but Wang Lihua.” Unstoppable sarcasm leaked from his eyes.”And your biological mother is not Wang Lihua, but someone else?”

    “…Yes.”

    “That’s why you had a cold war with her, right?”

    Xue Xue blinked.

    “Because she wants to bring you and Zhao He’an together?”
