Wen Zeru stared at the paternity test report in disbelief.
He read it several times before placing the report on the table with a trembling hand. His voice was also tinged with an imperceptible tremor.
"So everything you just said is true?"
"You're not Dad's biological daughter?"
Wen Yin told Wen Zeru everything she knew in detail.
"Aunt Qi is planning to hold a family - recognition banquet for me in a few days."
Wen Yin looked at the incredulous man in front of her.
If, besides Shao Yinan, there was anyone who would firmly stand behind her, it could only be her brother. Wen Yin couldn't think of a second person.
"You may receive an invitation then."
Hearing Wen Yin's words, Wen Zeru's smile turned bitter. He lowered his head to hide the pain in his eyes.
This was something he never expected.
"Brother."
Seeing his abnormal expression, Wen Yin asked worriedly.
"Brother, are you okay?"
"I know it may take you some time to digest this. I was also shocked when I first learned about it."
Wen Zeru felt a tightness in his throat and could barely speak.
He said stiffly, "So you've known about this for a while?"
After hearing his words, Wen Yin couldn't help but lower her eyes and nervously bite her lips.
"I only knew before that I wasn't Dad's biological daughter. But the fact that I'm Aunt Qi's daughter was discovered by Shao Yinan. I didn't know it that early."
It's just that she had more time to digest it.
Wen Zeru's smile was forced, and anyone could see the in - hiding bitterness.
"I didn't expect that I'd find my sister only to lose you again so soon."
After saying this, Wen Zeru shrugged nonchalantly and said, "But it's okay. You're going to a top - tier wealthy family. The treatment there is much better than ours. Don't forget your brother then."
Looking at his forced nonchalance, Wen Yin couldn't hold back her tears any longer.
"Brother..."
Seeing Wen Yin crying, Wen Zeru put aside his own emotions. He hurriedly grabbed a few tissues and handed them to her. He then walked up to Wen Yin and squatted down.
Wen Zeru wasn't good at comforting crying girls. So he clumsily wiped the tears from her face, but the tears seemed to flow endlessly.
At this moment, he no longer cared about his own feelings.
"My little ancestor, please stop crying. You make me feel so helpless when you cry."
"Brother really doesn't know how to comfort girls. So stop crying, okay?"
Wen Yin's tears didn't stop. Just thinking about his sad look, she couldn't stop the tears from falling.
"But brother was clearly unhappy just now."
She said with a stuffy voice while crying.
Wen Zeru clumsily wiped her tears while helplessly explaining, "Do you think brother is really willing to let you go? But since you've made your decision, I can only respect it."
After hearing this, Wen Yin looked up at the gentle - smiling man in front of her.
He always seemed to be like this. Whether it was standing up for her when she first returned to the country or speaking up for her at the banquet, the smile on his face was always so gentle and doting.
He would always firmly stand behind her.
Supporting her in doing what she wanted and making the decisions she wanted.
Wen Yin felt her eyes getting hot, and a warm current welled up in her heart.
"Brother."
Wen Yin couldn't help but sniff.
Seeing that she finally stopped crying, Wen Zeru finally let out a sigh of relief.
"My little ancestor finally stopped crying?"
"Brother, you're so good."
Hearing this, Wen Zeru's smile deepened. He stood up and tapped Wen Yin on the head.
"It's good that you know I'm good."
Then he returned to his seat. By now, most of the dishes had been served.
So he put the dishes into the pot, paying attention to their doneness while also picking up dishes for her.
"A Yin, although brother is reluctant to let you go, I still want to say that no matter what, I'll always be your brother."
"So no matter what happens, you can come to me."
"The fact that you're my sister won't change because of anything else."
While picking up dishes, Wen Zeru gave her a worried reminder.
He had heard about the Qi family.
It was a top - tier wealthy family with far more side branches than their family. Describing it as a den of tigers and dragons was no exaggeration.
Wen Zeru also remembered the hard life Wen Yin had when she first returned to the Wen family. He was afraid that she would be even slightly wronged in the Qi family.
"If you're bullied, you must fight back bravely. No matter what, brother will stand behind you!"
Hearing Wen Zeru's reminders, Wen Yin knew that he meant well, so she couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing that his little ancestor finally laughed after so much effort to comfort her, Wen Zeru also let out a sigh of relief.
He looked at the smiling woman in front of him.
After all, he was still worried about his sister.
After dropping Wen Yin off at home, Wen Zeru drove slowly on the road.
The Qi family.
Wen Yin had briefly told him about what happened back then, which involved his mother.
Thinking of this, Wen Zeru couldn't help but call his secretary.
"Help me investigate if anyone tampered with things when my mom gave birth to my sister back then."
There was a subtle coldness in Wen Zeru's voice.
He would eventually collect the debts from many years ago.
Whether it was for his mother or his sister, he would settle this account clearly.
After resolving a major concern in her heart, Wen Yin couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Wen Yin knew her brother's temper. He might not be able to accept it at first, but he would ultimately support her.
That was why she could tell Wen Zeru the truth without reservation.
The Qi family had been extremely busy in recent days.
Aunt Qi was almost single - handedly handling all the details of the banquet.
She even sent twenty or thirty custom - made evening gowns to Wen Yin's home.
Shao Yinan looked at the small room filled with clothes racks and couldn't help but tease, "So which dress is our princess going to wear to the banquet?"
"Isn't this a new design by Liliana this year?"
Shao Yinan caught a glimpse of a dress out of the corner of his eye and couldn't help but pick it up and hold it in front of Wen Yin.
"This is a dress that money can't buy."
