Chapter 205: The Not-So-Reliable Three Brothers
“Oh, this.”
Xiaomuqing widened her eyes, deeply shocked as she listened to her good brother and watched his actions.
“Great! We’ll go make an appointment for registration later.”
Meng Yue was the first to react, taking the household registration book from Ye Ziming while mentally giving the son-in-law a thumbs up.
Moreover, during their discussion earlier, Meng Yue had also heard from Li Muning that it was all Ye Ziming’s credit that her daughter was found so quickly.
It was because of this that she didn’t object to Ye Ziming living in the Lin family home with her precious daughter.
First, he took care of her daughter, then helped their Lin family find their daughter, and now he was still helping them. It would be wrong to treat such a great benefactor poorly.
So, while arranging the household registration, Meng Yue took out her phone and called her three sons, who had gone out early this morning, to come back and help with the move.
Since Ye Ziming was going to live in their Lin family home, a room needed to be tidied up first, and then the things had to be moved over.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the three brothers had just come out of the hospital and were sitting in a coffee shop discussing the results of the paternity test.
“Hmph! Big brother, you’re not being fair!”
Lin Qiwen spoke first, directly pointing the finger at his eldest brother.
The reason was that he and Lin Zixuan had discovered that their eldest brother, Lin Yiming, had also hired someone to conduct a paternity test, and the results he received were different from theirs.
“Tch, it’s the pot calling the kettle black.”
Lin Yiming appeared very disdainful, as he wasn’t the only one who wanted to cause trouble.
His second brother, Lin Zixuan, had planned to secretly collect the report without telling them, and told them that the results would take three days to come out.
His third brother, Lin Qiwen, had planned to bribe people at the hospital to give his two older brothers fake test results.
The goal of all three was to be the first to rush to Xiaomuqing with the report and make her call them “brother.”
As fate would have it, when everyone was preparing to act this morning, they accidentally collided, and all their plans went awry.
“Cough, cough, let’s talk about this matter first, how will we tell Mom and Dad?”
Lin Zixuan coughed twice, covering his awkwardness, and somewhat guiltily changed the subject.
Although his eldest brother and third brother weren’t being fair, he wasn’t much better, so he couldn’t say anything to them.
“This matter is of great importance, we need to make a long-term plan…”
As the eldest brother, Lin Yiming acted very steadily and then followed up on his second brother’s words.
After a simple discussion, the three of them made a preliminary agreement: no one was allowed to play dirty tricks anymore, and they would all rely on their own abilities to gain their sister’s favor.
Just as they began discussing how to tell their parents about the matter, Meng Yue suddenly called them.
Then the three brothers rushed home in a hurry. In the process, Lin Qiwen looked at the useless report he had gotten.
Thinking about it, he erased all the information on it, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it into a roadside trash can.
After they left, Fang Xiyue walked over from the coffee shop to the trash can and reached out to pick up the crumpled piece of paper.
“Not related by blood?”
Passing by coincidentally, she only heard a few fragmented pieces of information, and vaguely heard the name Lin Muqing.
After all, the three brothers wouldn’t discuss family matters loudly in public, so even after eavesdropping for so long, she didn’t hear any useful information.
And so, at this moment, her powerful imagination kicked in.
…
When the three brothers hurried home, Meng Yue was holding Xiaomuqing’s hand, showing her around the Lin family villa and telling her:
“This will be your home from now on, understand?”
“Mm-hmm.”
Xiaomuqing nodded obediently, slightly lifting her head to look at Meng Yue, her face beaming with a smile, her eyes brimming with happiness.
She couldn’t help but sigh in her heart, it felt so good to have a family.
After touring their “new” home, they returned to the living room and happened to see the three brothers who had just arrived home. Lin Cong was standing in front of them, saying something to them.
“Brother.”
Seeing the three of them standing in front of her, staring at her, Xiaomuqing thought for a moment and then softly called out to them, after all, they were indeed her brothers.
“Ah!”
The moment they saw Xiaomuqing, the three brothers were stunned. They already knew that Meng Yue had taken her as her daughter and were shocked by it.
Upon hearing Xiaomuqing’s call, the three of them snapped back to attention, and then eagerly responded to their sister.
At this moment, the three of them were more than excited, they even wanted to rush forward and hug their sister.
But they didn’t. First, Lin Cong, seeing how excited they were, stepped forward and blocked them, in order to protect his daughter from being startled.
The other reason was the mutual checks and balances between the three of them. For a moment, they looked at each other, and the air was filled with tension.
Xiaomuqing: I think they are so silly, can I ask for a refund? (Disdain)
“Have some dignity, look at you guys.”
Pretending to be angry and scolding, Meng Yue then ordered the three of them to go upstairs and clear out a room for Xiaomuqing to live in.
“Okay!” “No problem!” “Leave it to us!”
Hearing the news of their sister moving in, the three were overjoyed and their motivation immediately surged. They started working.
“If anyone bullies you in the future, you can find your brothers, and if that doesn’t work, you can find me, and I’ll deal with them for you.”
Watching her three sons leave, Meng Yue couldn’t help but chuckle. She held her daughter’s small hand and instructed her.
Although she had said similar words before, the meaning was different, and Meng Yue still wanted to tell Xiaomuqing again.
“Mm-hmm.”
Following Meng Yue’s meaning, Xiaomuqing nodded, indicating that she remembered.
However, in her heart, she thought that even if she encountered problems, she wouldn’t really want to find them, because she always felt that these three brothers were not very reliable.
Compared to them, her good brother was much more steady… much more.
“How about this, you go back there first and pack your things. I’ll call your brothers to help you move them over later.”
Bringing Xiaomuqing to the sofa in the living room, and then looking at the outstanding son-in-law sitting on the sofa, Meng Yue said to her daughter with a smile.
“Okay.”
Nodding, Xiaomuqing looked at her good brother and sent him a message with her eyes.
Then Ye Ziming stood up from the sofa, smiled, took Xiaomuqing’s small hand, and led her towards his home.
On the way to the Ye family villa, Xiaomuqing lowered her head and thought for a moment, then turned her head to look at her good brother.
“Boss.”
Xiaomuqing called out hesitantly.
“Mm?”
Ye Ziming slowly turned his head, looking at Xiaomuqing with confusion in his eyes.
“Um, I might not be able to go shopping with you today.”
Xiaomuqing felt very apologetic. She had promised her good brother that she would accompany him out to play on his birthday.
But now that she had found her family, there would probably be many more things to do…
