Why are you here? Zhou Hengguangs surprise was evident as he glanced at his little cousin who had suddenly appeared. I heard your house is quite lively today. Lots of relatives showed up.

Dont even get me started. Theyre all so bothersome, Xu Xiaoxiao replied dismissively, finding herself a seat without bothering to greet anyone, including Feng Yanze who was nearby.

What happened?

Its all Song Zishans fault. Shes causing trouble as soon as she arrives.

The Song familys little princess? Zhou Hengguang asked, pondering the situation.

Yes, thats the one. She knows that Su Wen and her sister are Professor Sus daughters. She made a scene about it at the restaurant earlier. Im afraid everyone Imows by now.

Professor Su? Feng Yanze, who had remained silent, couldnt help but inquire.

Xu Xiaoxiao shrugged helplessly. See, even Feng Yanze is surprised. How could anyone else not be curious? The conflict between the Song family and Professor Su seemed resolved with his pa.s.sing, but it doesnt seem so now. Zhou Hengguang rubbed his temples. Do Aunt and Uncle know about this?

Im not sure, Xu Xiaoxiao replied, certain that Professor Sus daughters were causing quite a stir. If her parents were aware, they would have been prepared and wouldnt have allowed the Song family to attend. They probably wouldnt have even hosted the banquet.

Were in trouble! Zhou Hengguang exclaimed, though his expression didnt quite match his words. Instead, he seemed rather pleased. You and Big Brother kept it from Aunt and Uncle. Youre both in trouble.

This matter is in the past. Professor Su is no longer with us. Whats there to bring up? Xu Xiaoxiao had only speculated about Su Wens father being called Su Xuewen as he heard someone mention it during her first visit to Su Wens house. But since the Su sisters didnt know, there was no need to mention it.

Big brother and Professor Su probably wanted to protect them Zhou Hengguang surmised that before Professor Su pa.s.sed away, he must have arranged for his daughters to stay out of the limelight in the countryside indefinitely. Yet, his daughters exceptional abilities made that difficult.

Moreover, keeping Su Wen and her sisters trapped in a small mountain village forever wouldnt be fair to them. Its one thing if they lack the ability, but if they do have it and are kept in the dark, its just unfair.

Its obvious that Zhou Hengyang has changed his mind. Once were in the provincial capital, were bound to be recognized, Xu Xiaoxiao grumbled unhappily.

Todays events were hardly surprising. It was only a matter of time.

People change, Zhou Hengguang remarked. Though he couldnt fathom his Big Brothers thoughts, he had weighed the consequences of his actions. The only unexpected factor was Liu Chuns accident in the northwest, forcing him to leave suddenly.

In the provincial capital, his sister-in-law would likely face trouble. But Liu Chuns life was at stake, and he had to go. Zhou Hengguang imagined his brother must have agonized over the decision. Did Big Brother know about this situation?

He surely did.

Lost in thought, Zhou Hengguang was interrupted by the ringing of his desk phone. Upon recognizing the caller, he cursed inwardly.

I heard someone from the Song family showed up? Zhou Hengyangs voice came through the phone with urgency. He wasted no time with pleasantries. Keep an eye on your sister-in-law for me. If anything goes wrong, youre dead.

Zhou Hengguang solemnly promised, Dont worry, Big Brother.

Wenwen doesnt know anything yet, Zhou Hengyang added, a hint of distress evident in his voice.

In that case, Big Brother, do you want to tell her? It seemed better to hear it from him than from someone else.

I promised father-in-law Id keep it a secret forever, he said..
