Lu Jingchen looked down directly at her, then raised his hand to embrace her waist and pulled her into his arms. With a few notes of low, hoarse firmness in his voice, he said, "We will, just like Mom and Dad."

Song Qiao’s gaze fell on Lu Tianming and Xu Qian in the hospital room, but she didn’t say anything.

Suddenly thinking of Nan Moyan, Lu Jingchen looked down at Song Qiao and asked, "Qiaoqiao, do you know your mom and dad once had a son?"

Song Qiao blinked, not understanding what Lu Jingchen meant by this, but she nodded honestly, "Yes, my mom told me when I was very young, I was supposed to have a brother. But then he was taken away and later died in a car accident on the highway. I always thought that I was my parents’ only child and never expected to have a brother."

"What else did your parents say?"

Song Qiao shook her head, "Nothing else. Actually, Mom told me this once when she was sick. It was clear she was very upset at the time."

After all, he was the son she had carried for ten months.

When she saw the pained expression on her mother’s face then, she absolutely hated the person who took the child away.

Lu Jingchen’s gaze fell on Song Qiao, and after about half a minute of silence, he said, "Qiaoqiao, have you ever thought that maybe that child is still alive?"

Nan Moyan’s identity was almost confirmed. After meeting Nan Moyan last night, he became seventy percent sure that he was Song Qiao’s brother.

Later, he had Assistant Xue investigate Nan Moyan’s childhood, further affirming without a doubt that he was Qiaoqiao’s brother.

Back then, he indeed almost died in that car accident. But coincidentally, a servant from the Mu Family, who had a good relationship with Song Qiao’s mother, happened to come back from her hometown and was stuck in traffic at that section of the road, rescuing Nan Moyan from the car that was about to explode.

The child who died in the car was just another child that the kidnappers had snatched from someone else.

But why the maid didn’t take the child back to Song Qiao and instead took him to Italy is something they never investigated.

Upon hearing Lu Jingchen’s words, Song Qiao didn’t react for a moment. Her eyes were full of confusion and doubt as she asked, "Are you saying my brother isn’t dead?"

Lu Jingchen nodded, responded affirmatively, and held her in his arms, saying honestly to her, "The gang that kidnapped you, your mom, and Xiao Xi, their leader might be your brother..."

Song Qiao’s mind suddenly went blank for a moment, her eyes filled with disbelief.

That man is her brother?

How could that be?

Already thinking the fact that her brother was alive was unlikely, now even hearing Lu Jingchen say that the man who kidnapped her, Xu Qian, and Song Xi was her brother.

"Lu Jingchen, are you just joking with me to amuse yourself?" Song Qiao managed to choke out after a while.

Lu Jingchen, "Qiaoqiao, I wouldn’t tell you this if I wasn’t over seventy percent sure."

Song Qiao, "..."

Yet, she still couldn’t believe her brother was not only alive but also the one who kidnapped her, Xu Qian, and Xiao Xi.

Although she felt good about that person, she often felt they belonged to completely different worlds.

...

Ever since Song Qiao and the others were released, the villa has been much quieter. Lu Jingchen was reliable indeed; by noon, he had already transferred all two hundred million to their account.

In the villa, Nan Moyan sat on the sofa with a laptop in front of him, where a certain American blockbuster was playing. The plot was good, the actors’ performances decent, and it was the kind of movie that could easily evoke emotional highs and lows. Yet to Nan Moyan, watching movies felt incredibly damn boring.

Some younger men stood behind him, with Ping Ge and Xiao Ye also sitting beside him, all intently watching the movie on the computer.

Xiao Ye held several packets of chips, which he opened one by one to pass to the people behind him, then handed one to his boss, "Boss, want some chips?"

Nan Moyan tilted his head and gave him a slight disdainful glance, then said in disgust, "You’d better eat less of that junk food. You’re still growing, and if you eat too much, you might not only end up short, but also chubby."

Xiao Ye, "..." Boss is such a buzzkill, I shouldn’t have asked.

Suddenly, neither eating nor not eating felt right for him.

Nan Moyan continued watching the movie in front of him, propping his chin up with one hand, but his mind was filled with images of Song Qiao’s face.

After thirty years of solitude, always believing himself to be a true orphan, suddenly learning he has a biological sister and a half-sister was somewhat... a surprise.

Indeed, after being lonely for so long, one’s mindset changes.

"Boss." While he was lost in thought, a younger man suddenly ran in, looking at Lu Jingchen and said, "Boss, that... there’s a woman outside saying she wants to see you."

The young man looked a bit flustered, beginning to stammer as he spoke.

Nan Moyan furrowed his brows slightly, "What woman?"

Ping Ge, sitting beside him, exclaimed, "Boss, you didn’t secretly find a woman, did you?"

Nan Moyan looked at him with disdain, "If I wanted to find a woman, do you think I would need to hide it from you?" Thinking of this, he laughed and said directly, "I would find a woman right in front of you openly, torturing you miserable single dogs to death."

"But boss, you’re a single dog too," Xiao Ye said very honestly.

Nan Moyan, "..." This brat, who’s the boss here anyway?

His gaze fell directly on that young man, and he raised his chin, "Think clearly before you speak next time."

The young man scratched his head with his hand, silently organizing his thoughts for over ten seconds before opening his mouth, "It’s the wife of that CK Group president we kidnapped before, Lu Jingchen’s wife, stating she wants to see you outside."

Song Qiao came to see him?

Nan Moyan stood up immediately.

——There are still four updates tonight.
