Xiao Tianyu came quietly and left forcefully, causing a huge storm in everyone's heart. Was that the greatest failure of Xiao Yuanshan and his wife? Was that the Xiao Family's waste? If he was a waste, then what happened today, fifteen years later?

Thinking about it is both laughable and sad.

"Mom, what on earth happened? Why did that big brother kill my brother!" Hearing this, Xiao Ziyan was confused. Her brother was killed, so why wasn't her mother letting her hate him?

No matter how wrong her brother was, they spent fifteen years together.

"He...he is your second brother!" Finally, Duanmu Lanshan couldn't help but reveal a fact, making Xiao Ziyan even more puzzled: "Second brother? When did I have a second brother? Why have you never mentioned him before? Also, why did he kill big brother? What on earth is happening?"

"These are the unforgivable mistakes your mother made fifteen years ago, but I saw no hostility towards you in his eyes. You must not resent him in the future. Your father and mother wronged him fifteen years ago!" Tears fell one after another from Duanmu Lanshan's face.

Thus, Duanmu Lanshan told Xiao Ziyan everything that happened fifteen years ago without any concealment.

After hearing this, Xiao Ziyan didn't know what to do, but there was obvious anger in her pure eyes.

"Dad, Mom, how could you do this? Even a tiger, though cruel, will not eat its cubs, yet you..." Xiao Ziyan stepped back two steps before continuing: "Yet you not only abandoned him, but shamelessly trampled on his dignity. I want to ask, in your minds, is the bond of blood really so thin?"

Before Duanmu Lanshan could reply, Xiao Ziyan continued: "If I were a waste, would you discard me like you discarded my second brother? Should I be grateful for my talent? If not for the gift of talent from above, would I be trampled like my second brother?"

"Ziyan, it's not like that, it's not like that. Over the years, I've regretted it countless times, always wanting to make amends, but heaven hasn't given me that chance!"

"Make amends?" Xiao Ziyan laughed: "Can any of this be made right? And as for big brother, regardless of what second brother went through, should he not have trampled on him? They are family. Tell me, how am I supposed to face this second brother? He's my brother by blood, yet he is also my brother's killer. In the future, he might even kill you two. What am I supposed to do, exact revenge on second brother for you?"

"No..." Hearing this, Duanmu Lanshan shook her head: "No matter what happens in the future, you must not seek revenge. This is a sin your mother deserves, understand?"

"I don't understand!" Xiao Ziyan took a few steps back: "I'm going to find second brother right now, and have him spare you!"

"Ziyan, come back!"

"I won't..."

With that, Xiao Ziyan left the Xiao Family courtyard. Duanmu Lanshan was about to chase after her when Xiao Yuanshan stopped her with a shout: "Lanshan, come back!"

"Ziyan, she..."

"She won't get into trouble!" Xiao Yuanshan spoke to a middle-aged man beside him: "Find some skilled people and protect the young lady in secret!"

"Yes!" The middle-aged man respectfully replied and then left the Xiao Family courtyard.

Although Xiao Yuanshan had been greatly shocked by Xiao Tianyu's surprise, after he left, there were still matters within the Xiao Family that Xiao Yuanshan needed to handle. After all, he was the head of the Xiao Family clan, and since the old ancestor was dead, he was the highest authority.

He scanned everyone in the courtyard and said: "Keep today's events to yourselves, especially the death of the old ancestor. Remember, you must never let it get out, or you'll face the family law!"

Xiao Wancheng was the backbone of the Xiao Family. If news of his death got out, it would surely set off a huge storm in Fengzhou City, and if the Zhuge Family, Nangong Family, and Ouyang Family learned of the Xiao Family's old ancestor's death, they would likely swallow the Xiao Family whole.

The reason why Fengzhou City has been stable with four forces in balance over the years is that each family has a Celestial Realm peak strongman holding the fort, maintaining this balance.

If the news of the Xiao Family old ancestor's death spread, this balance would be broken, so Xiao Yuanshan had to seal the mouths of the Xiao Family members, and they wouldn't even hold a funeral.

...

Early the next morning.

Huaxia, Tianyu International.

At this moment, in the bedroom of the CEO office of Tianyu International, a ray of sunlight shone in. Shangguan Biyue turned over and reached out to snuggle next to her. However, she found only empty space beside her. Where was Xiao Tianyu?

She rubbed her eyes and glanced beside her, momentarily stunned. Where did he go? Did he really sneak out to find his mistress while I was asleep?

Last night, right in the middle of things, Shangguan Biyue's period came unexpectedly, halting everything. For a man, that's a tough situation to resist, so Shangguan Biyue thought it wasn't without reason if Xiao Tianyu went to find a mistress.

Moreover, Xiao Tianyu's secretary Zhao Xue was an absolute beauty. If she seduced him, could Xiao Tianyu resist? Unless he was a eunuch.

Thinking of this, Shangguan Biyue got dressed, freshened up a bit, and left the bedroom.

However, as she opened the door, the aroma of food wafted into her nose.

Instinctively, Shangguan Biyue glanced at the dining table in the office. Two bowls of steaming mixed dumplings were there, with a cup of pure water and a glass of milk beside them.

"This bastard is really considerate!" Shangguan Biyue smiled slightly, a warm feeling flowing through her heart. She couldn't understand why Ye Qingcheng pushed away such a good husband, letting her gain such a great advantage.

But wait, there's no kitchen in this office. How did this bastard make these mixed dumplings?

Shangguan Biyue's beautiful eyes scanned the surroundings. Besides the bedroom, dining room, and office hall, there was no kitchen at all.

Of course, Shangguan Biyue was only slightly surprised and did not take it to heart.

Fine, since he prepared breakfast for me early this morning, I'll forgive his infidelity. After all, he's too strong in that area, and one woman can't handle it. Having another woman to share the burden might not be a bad thing.

With this thought, the originally gloomy Shangguan Biyue suddenly felt much better, and she gracefully walked toward the dining table.

Bang~

At that moment, the office door opened, and Xiao Tianyu walked in. Seeing Shangguan Biyue eating, Xiao Tianyu warmly smiled: "You're up!"

"Mm!" Shangguan Biyue nodded, pulling Xiao Tianyu along, oozing womanly charm: "Honey, please sit!"

"So courteous? Why do I feel a bit flattered?" Xiao Tianyu was slightly taken aback, while Shangguan Biyue ignored him, focusing on the dumplings: "Tianyu, these little dumplings are really delicious; how did you make them?"
