36: Chapter 36 In this life, I will take away everything the fake young master cares about! Family, affection, status...

Hearing Chen Fan's inner voice mention a kitchen knife,

the four sisters seemed to think of something, and their expressions became increasingly indescribable.

Chen Xuening put down her coffee cup.

Suddenly, she broke into an extremely gentle smile, her tone so amiable that it sent chills down people's spines:

"Xiao Fan, after we finish breakfast later—"

"Let your sisters help you tidy up your room."

"..."

Chen Fan was stunned for a moment, waving his hands repeatedly to refuse:

"No, no need! The room is very clean! There's no need to tidy it up!"

"Sisters didn't rest well last night, you should hurry up and catch up on some sleep instead!"

"..."

"It's fine." Chen Yutong chimed in with a smile.

"You are our only biological younger brother, so we must take care of you personally."

"..."

Chen Nianan rarely spoke, her voice very soft:

"...By the way, let us help you check your room."

"See if there are any... dangerous items left behind by Xiao Ci before."

"..."

Chen Xingyue crossed her arms, nodding in agreement:

"Right, right, right! Your Third Sister is right!"

"That brat Xiao Ci used to like collecting some dangerous cutting tools!"

"For the sake of your safety, we have to help you clear them out!"

"Otherwise, what if you accidentally get hurt?"

"Sisters' hearts will ache terribly!"

"..."

The four sisters wore the same sneer, staring at Chen Fan in unison.

That expression seemed to say: Stop pretending!

We saw through it at a glance! We've already seen through everything!

A kitchen knife! Under the pillow! Hand it over quickly! w(ﾟДﾟ)w!!!

Chen Fan blinked, completely missing his sisters' deeper meaning.

Instead, the touched feeling in his heart was about to overflow Ծ‸Ծ~~~

Wuwuwu o(╥﹏╥)o...

Sisters are so good to me!

Clearly, they didn't rest well themselves, with such heavy dark circles under their eyes, yet they still remembered to help him tidy up the room.

And they were worried about his safety!

Fearing that the Fake Young Master left something dangerous behind to hurt him!

Is this the power of familial affection?

Is this the feeling of being pampered by sisters?

Such warm family members...

Brother Hao, you actually said they are trying to harm me?!!

Where is your conscience?!!

Was it eaten by a dog?!!

Chen Fan was moved to tears, his voice choking up slightly:

"Thank you, sisters! You are so good to me!"

"Then your younger brother will gratefully accept!"

"It's just that there's no rush; we can wait until you've rested well and have plenty of energy before tidying up that day!"

"..."

"No need for another day." Four voices spoke in unison, resolute and decisive, "Just today."

"..."

Chen Fan was slightly shocked by this neat and uniform answer.

He always felt something was a bit off.

But very soon, he explained it away himself!

Sisters are just caring about me too much, they don't even want to wait a single day~~(ಥ﹏ಥ)~~~~

I'm tearing up ( Ĭ ^ Ĭ ), family members~~~

The four sisters smiled brightly while sneering synchronously in their hearts:

In a moment, we'll clean out everything in your room that can peel and chop vegetables in one go!

Let's see what you can use to hack us next time?!

(•́へ•́╬) Humph!!!

After finishing his emotional moment, Chen Fan looked around the living room and suddenly asked:

"Right, where are Mom and Dad? How come I don't see them early in the morning?"

"..."

Chen Xuening's smile paused slightly, and she hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"They... went to pick up Xiao Ci from the hospital."

"..."

As her voice fell,

the atmosphere in the dining room changed subtly.

The four sisters pricked up their ears in unison, casting subtle glances toward Chen Fan's face.

Ever since they could hear this biological younger brother's inner voice,

they knew all too well what his attitude toward Xiao Ci was.

It was full of malice from beginning to end.

If the two brothers meet, won't they start a fight?

Wouldn't Xiao Fan pull out a kitchen knife on the spot and hack away?

Xiao Ci's illness hasn't fully recovered yet! He can't withstand a slash like that!

ε=(´ο｀*))) Alas, what a headache~~~

But to the four sisters' surprise!

Upon hearing the news that Mom and Dad went to pick up the adopted son and bring him home, Chen Fan's face not only lacked the slightest displeasure,

but instead, his eyes lit up, revealing an expectant smile.

"Jing Ci-ge is coming back today?"

"That's great! I haven't met him yet!"

"..."

He lowered his head to look at the T-shirt he was wearing, and somewhat embarrassedly rubbed the corner of his clothes.

"Is it okay if I meet him wearing this? Will it be too casual?"

"Should I change into something more formal?"

"Right, right, what does he usually like? Should I prepare a welcome gift?"

"..."

The four sisters: "..."

Chen Xingyue's mouth hung open, unable to close.

Chen Xuening pushed up her glasses, thinking she was dreaming.

Chen Yutong put down the fruit knife, showing a rare expression of surprise.

Chen Nianan peeked out half her face from behind her drawing board and blinked.

This reaction——

completely strayed from the script!

Chen Xuening put down her coffee cup, weighed her words, and asked tentatively:

"Xiao Fan, you... don't hate Xiao Ci?"

"After all, he enjoyed eighteen years of glory and wealth that rightfully belonged to you."

"You don't hate him at all?"

"..."

Chen Fan was stunned at first.

Then, he scratched his head somewhat shyly.

And smiled.

That smile was very faint, very sincere, without a trace of reluctance.

"Eldest Sister, it would be fake to say I don't mind at all."

"At the very beginning, my heart was indeed a bit unbalanced. After all——"

"I suffered so much hardship outside, while he enjoyed so many blessings in our family."

"Anyone in my place would feel a sense of disparity."

"I even fantasized..."

"About forcing you guys to drive him out on the very first day I came home, monopolizing all the pampering in this family."

"But thinking about it calmly, this isn't Jing Ci-ge's fault either!"

"When the babies were switched, he was just a newborn; he knew nothing."

"For these eighteen years, he didn't know he was fake, and he also regarded this place as his most beloved home..."

"If we really want to talk about being indebted, it's fate that owes both of us."

"Let the past be the past! I don't want to dwell on those things anymore!"

"From now on, I just want to live a good life with you all. A harmonious family is more important than anything else."

"..."

After finishing,

he looked at the four sisters, his gaze clear and open, without any reluctance or hypocrisy.

The four sisters were slightly shaken inside, speechless for a moment.

These words were spoken with too much magnanimity.

So magnanimous that they felt a bit ashamed.

Previously, did they think of this kid too narrowly?

They had thought that this biological younger brother's heart should be filled with resentment and hatred.

Who would have thought...

A certain soft corner in Chen Xuening's heart was touched.

She was silent for a moment, stood up, walked over to Chen Fan, and heavily patted his shoulder.

"Good lad, you have breadth of mind."

"Rest assured, our family is not one of those cliché short drama wealthy families of hypocrites."

"Things like pampering the Fake Young Master and abusing the True Young Master! That will never happen in our family!"

"We will treat Xiao Ci well, and we will treat you well."

"We treat everyone equally."

"..."

There was a rare earnestness in her voice.

Chen Xingyue also leaned over, unusually lacking any Yin and Yang sarcasm, and added with a chuckle:

"Right, right, right! Xiao Ci is a very nice person!"

"After he found out he was switched at birth, his first reaction was to voluntarily leave this family, saying he didn't want to make things difficult for you."

"He also feels very guilty toward you..."

"Later, it was only because we desperately stopped him that he reluctantly stayed."

"..."

Chen Yutong nodded, her tone gentle:

"Xiao Ci has a great personality, you'll know once you meet him."

"You will definitely like him."

"..."

Chen Nianan exposed one eye from behind the drawing board and whispered three words:

"You are both my younger brothers."

"..."

Seeing that the atmosphere reached the pinnacle of warmth for a moment,

Chen Xuening struck while the iron was hot and advised:

"Xiao Fan, let's get the ugly words out of the way first!"

"We hope you two brothers can get along well, don't cause conflicts, and don't make it difficult for the family!"

"If you have any grievances, tell sisters directly, don't bottle them up inside."

"Both the palm and the back of the hand are flesh; we cherish both and won't play favorites."

"..."

Chen Fan nodded solemnly, his smile bright.

"Rest assured, sisters! I will get along well with Jing Ci-ge!"

"..."

In fact, this had always been his true inner thought.

Wouldn't it be great for the True and Fake Young Masters to coexist peacefully and be a loving family?

Why must they fight to the death?

Only someone with water in their brain would engage in internal friction.

Isn't it great to comfortably enjoy the life of a rich second-generation?!

Just as he was full of anticipation for brotherly harmony with this unacquainted Fake Young Master!

The voice pack of the Immortal Venerable in his mind arrived right on schedule, sneering like ice shards in the twelfth lunar month:

[Heh.]

[Won't play favorites?]

[This Immortal Venerable believes you guys for a ghost!]

[You perverted women who sneaked into your biological younger brother's room in the middle of the night are extremely bad!]

[Not a single punctuation mark of what you say can be trusted!]

Chen Fan: "...Brother Hao, that's enough!"

In broad daylight! →_→

You open your mouth and start spreading rumors, right?!

When did sisters sneak into my room???

Did you see it? Or did someone else see it?

As the person involved, anyway, I didn't see it.

A girl's reputation is very important!

If you slander my dear sisters like this again, believe it or not, I'll flip out with you! [○･｀Д´･ ○]

[However——]

The voice pack's tone suddenly shifted, turning from a sneer into a sort of sinister anticipation.

[This Immortal Venerable is quite looking forward to meeting that fake.]

[For some reason, this Immortal Venerable doesn't even have that urgent impulse to smash him to pieces and scatter his ashes anymore.]

Chen Fan was stunned.

What's the situation? Did Brother Hao change his nature?

The next second, he knew he was overthinking.

[Because that would be letting him off too easily.]

[Hack him to death in one slash and end it once and for all—what kind of hatred can that dispel?]

[It is far from enough to dispel this Immortal Venerable's bone-deep hatred!!!]

[In this lifetime, this Immortal Venerable will take away everything he cares about! Familial affection, pampering, trust, status...]

[Dragging him down from the clouds bit by bit, making him plummet from high places, crushing his pride, trampling his dignity, and making him watch with his own eyes as everything that originally belonged to him slowly flows to this Immortal Venerable!]

[Making him collapse in despair, and go crazy in collapse!!!!!]

[In this lifetime, this Immortal Venerable will play with him slowly, and play him to death.]

[Jiejiejiejiejie——]

Listening to the series of extremely evil laughter,

Chen Fan was so embarrassed that his toes were practically digging out a three-bedroom apartment inside his slippers.

Brother Hao! I beg you to stop laughing!

Your early-morning "jiejiejie" is even more ridiculous than a horror movie villain!

So second-year chuunibyou-esque!!!

What kind of feud? What kind of grudge? Is it necessary?!!!!

The Fake Young Master hasn't even come home yet!

And you are already plotting how to drive the person crazy?!!!!

I take back what I said earlier, you are not some slightly neurotic tsundere Immortal Venerable!

You damn well are a thorough, big villain!!!

[Shut your mouth! Mind your own business regarding this Immortal Venerable's affairs!]

Chen Fan slapped his forehead.

Fine, fine, fine, I won't mind it.

Anyway, you can only blabber a couple of sentences in my head and can't affect the real world.

Fortunately, sisters can't hear your words either.

Otherwise, right after I guaranteed that I would coexist peacefully and love each other like a family with Jing Ci-ge, you were there jiejiejie-ing...

I'm damn well so awkward, okay?! ￣□￣｜｜!!!

Besides, am I that kind of person?!

I am clearly holding a sincere and friendly attitude, wanting to be a loving family!

Can you stop randomly tampering with my Good brother persona?!!

At this moment,

the four sisters also synchronously heard Chen Fan's inner voice, their smiles freezing on their faces, and their backs feeling a bit chilled.

They were just moved by this kid's magnanimity a moment ago.

As a result, it was all acting!!!

His real thought was to slowly torture Xiao Ci?!

Take away everything he cares about?! Crush his pride?! Trample his dignity?! Make him collapse in despair?!

Just listening to these words makes one's hair stand on end, okay!!!!!

What on earth did Xiao Ci do to you in the past life?! Is it necessary to hate him to this extent?!!

The four sisters screamed frantically in their hearts, but on their faces, they didn't dare show the slightest trace, and could only gulp down milk to calm their nerves.

They thought of Chen Jingci's gentle and well-behaved face.

And no matter what, they couldn't stick the label "wicked Fake Young Master" onto him.

They looked toward Chen Fan again.

The youth was quietly eating his sandwich, with a little salad dressing at the corner of his mouth, looking utterly harmless to humans and animals.

He was completely two different people compared to the sinister big villain who went "jiejiejie" in the mind.

Are these two brothers really destined to be as incompatible as fire and water?

No, there must be some misunderstanding in this!

Just like Xiao Fan's inner voice said, the four sisters in the past life would abuse him and pamper Xiao Ci to hurt him.

But such a thing? How could it possibly happen???

No matter what, they could never abuse their biological younger brother.

Even now, they are occasionally angered to death by Xiao Fan's inner voice, but they have never thought of hurting him.

Because they are biological sisters and brothers! They share the same Bloodline flowing in their bodies!!!

And that child Xiao Ci was watched growing up by them; he is pure and kind, and likewise, it's impossible for him to hurt Xiao Fan.

Therefore, Xiao Fan's inner voice is not entirely reliable, and they cannot listen to one side and believe blindly.

As for how to resolve Xiao Fan's prejudice and knot in his heart...

Where sincerity is, metal and stone will open.

As long as the time is long enough, once Xiao Fan witnesses their goodness and feels Xiao Ci's kindness, sooner or later he will let down these inexplicable guards and hostility...

Thinking this way, the four sisters felt much more settled in their hearts.

Just at this moment!

A roar of luxury cars came from outside the door.

Rumble——

Butler Uncle Fu took a big megaphone and came over to loudly report—

"Lord and Madam, Young Master Jing Ci has arrived! All idlers, get out of the way completely!!!"

"..."

[Finally going to meet that fake?!]

[Very good! Prepare to welcome your own nightmare! Jiejiejiejie——]

Regarding the voice pack's daily freak-out,

Chen Fan rolled his eyes and habitually chose to ignore it.

He pulled his sisters along to walk towards the door, planning to personally welcome his Good brother from different parents...
