Not long after, Jian Yu came back from work. When he saw Jian Ai sitting in the living room, he couldn’t react. He blurted out in surprise, “Eh? Why are you suddenly back?”

Jian Ai was eating oranges on the sofa. When she saw her brother return, she couldn’t help but sit up and say casually, “Mom asked me to come back for dinner. She said that she had something to say.”

Jian Yu understood something and nodded. Then, he looked at the kitchen door and walked to the sofa to sit beside Jian Ai.

Jian Ai looked at her brother and blinked inexplicably. Why did she feel that the atmosphere in the house was a little strange today?

Did something happen? Or was she overthinking?

Taking advantage that there were only the two of them in the living room, Jian Ai leaned towards Jian Yu and asked, “Brother, do you know what Mom is going to say? Why do I feel that you’re weird too?”

“I’m weird?” Jian Yu chuckled and didn’t admit it. “No.”

Jian Yu’s attitude was casual, but Jian Ai felt her brother knew something.

However, Jian Ai didn’t keep asking. Instead, she curled her lips and lay on the sofa again. “Forget it if you don’t want to say it. Mom will say it later, anyway.”

Seeing this, Jian Yu picked up an orange and started peeling it, as if to hide his reaction.

He was also considering in his heart if he should let his sister know so that she could be mentally prepared.

“Xiao Ai…” After a while, Jian Yu finally spoke slowly. He turned to look at his sister. “I have a question for you.”

Seeing this, Jian Ai sat up. “What is it?”

Jian Yu put down the half-eaten orange and looked at Jian Ai seriously for two seconds before saying, “Let me ask you. Have you thought about your father since you were young?”

Jian Ai was a smart person. As soon as Jian Yu said this, she immediately sensed something.

A trace of shock flashed across her beautiful face before she frowned. “Brother, are you telling me that our father, whom we’ve never seen before, suddenly came back?”

When Jian Ai said this, her heart was calm. She even wanted to laugh.

The word ‘father’ was so unfamiliar and distant to her. Since she was young, she had never called him ‘father.’ Her feelings for this word were zero.

Jian Yu was speechless. He didn’t know what to say and looked at Jian Ai in a daze.

Seeing this, Jian Ai couldn’t help but smile at her brother. “No… Brother, what do you mean? Mom asked me to come back. Did she want me to come back and acknowledge my father?”

Only then did Jian Yu react. He quickly shook his head and denied it. “Of course not. How is that possible?!”

Jian Ai was about to heave a sigh of relief when Jian Yu said, “I just want to ask you if you want to know who your father is. I have no intention of letting you acknowledge him.”

Jian Ai’s expression was a little funny. She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She didn’t know what expression to show her feelings.

Did she want to know who her father was?

Jian Ai asked herself. She was not interested in this question because no matter who that person was, what did it have to do with her? She would not acknowledge this person, let alone call him Dad. What was the point of knowing or not?

Therefore, Jian Ai didn’t show any resistance or curiosity. Instead, she seemed to discuss a very ordinary question with her brother. She asked Jian Yu, “Brother, from what you’re saying, you already know?”

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have suddenly asked her this question.

Jian Yu didn’t hide it from Jian Ai. Anyway, the family had to sit down and resolve this matter today, so Jian Yu nodded and admitted, “I know!”

Seeing that her brother answered readily, Jian Ai couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows slightly. Then, she smiled and nodded. “I was wondering why Mom was so naggy. So that’s why. Since she wants us to know, I’ll listen. However, it’s impossible for me to acknowledge my father.”

Jian Ai’s calmness surprised Jian Yu. He had thought about his sister’s reaction when she found out about this, but he never thought that she would be so calm, as if she was talking about someone else.

Why did it feel like she was joining in the fun?

“Xiao Ai, don’t you have any thoughts?” Jian Yu was worried. He was afraid that his sister was hiding her true emotions.

Unexpectedly, Jian Ai chuckled and shook her head. She said casually, “What thoughts can I have? Isn’t a person I’ve never seen before a stranger? What can I think of a stranger?”

As she spoke, Jian Ai couldn’t help but purse her lips and mutter in a low voice, “I’m just curious. Why did Mom suddenly want to tell us this? Is it because this person disappeared for so many years and suddenly came back?”

Jian Yu looked at Jian Ai and said nothing.

He couldn’t open his mouth to tell Jian Ai that their biological father was Jian Changsheng. However, looking at his sister’s reaction and condition, he felt a little relieved.

At least in the face of this question, his sister could treat it rationally and not have any extreme reaction. This was also what their mother was most worried about.

However, Jian Yu’s silence confirmed Jian Ai’s thoughts. She couldn’t help but glare at her brother. “No way, Brother. Have you seen this person?”

Jian Yu hid his expression and nodded truthfully. “I’ve seen him before. I even punched him twice!”

“Huh?”

Jian Ai was shocked and smiled in surprise. “You attacked?”

“Yes.” Jian Yu looked at Jian Ai and sighed. He whispered, “Xiao Ai, Mom is under a lot of pressure because of this, so when she tells you about this tonight, no matter how agitated you are, don’t show it in front of Mom. Don’t let her worry.”

Although Jian Ai didn’t care who her father was, she could understand her mother’s struggle and state of mind. She immediately nodded. “I know, Brother. Don’t worry about me. My heart doesn’t fluctuate because I don’t care who this person is.”

Jian Yu felt relieved when he heard this. He looked at Jian Ai with a smile, but he thought to himself, ‘I hope that when she finds out who that person is, she won’t care.’

Her uncle and Jiachi returned quickly. Today, the family was gathered. Wang Yunmei and Wang Yunzhi made a table full of dishes.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten home-cooked food. I have to eat two more bowls of rice today.” Jian Ai smelled the fragrance of the food and smiled in satisfaction.

Wang Yunzhi came out of the kitchen with soup. When she heard this, she couldn’t help but look at Jian Ai reproachfully. “It’s not far. Who are you blaming if you don’t come back? We cook every night. If you come back, you can eat anytime.”
