Chapter 162: Chapter 5 Explanation

"What, my real big brother!?"

Lin Xiaoguai was no longer composed. Although Shen Chi had mentioned early on that he was just an adopted son of the Shen Family, she never imagined a scenario involving a family reunion like this.

She looked at Han Shouxin and scrutinized him carefully, only then confirming that Shen Chi was not joking with her. Because upon closer inspection, there was indeed a five to six-point resemblance between this Han Shouxin and Shen Chi, except the former had a more resolute face, while Shen Chi was more towards the handsome side.

"Nice to meet you," Lin Xiaoguai said dryly.

She really didn’t know what kind of attitude to adopt when facing this newly emerged Uncle.

Han Shouxin didn’t mind. The fact that Shen Chi acknowledged him as his big brother was satisfying enough for him; everything else could be taken slowly.

Meanwhile, Shen Chi had already put away those little emotions not to be shared with others and, while setting the bowl and chopsticks for Lin Xiaoguai, said to his son, "Little Niangao, call him Uncle."

"Hello, Uncle," Little Niangao said. Although the wound on his face still looked fierce, it had already scabbed over and no longer pained him, and he was indeed cheerful.

Han Shouxin was about to reply when his eyes caught sight of the child’s injury and he frowned, "What happened to these wounds?" It looked as if they were inflicted by someone. Could kids playing get this rough?

Shen Chi’s expression paused, "Ran into a little madwoman." Without hiding anything, he briefly explained the incident on the train and concluded, "I reckon the other party must be from a somewhat powerful family; otherwise, they wouldn’t act so recklessly. Please take care of it."

Even when he was asking for a favor, his attitude seemed perfectly justified. Han Shouxin didn’t mind at all and nodded, "Don’t worry, this matter ends here. I’ll make sure they won’t trouble you again." Although he didn’t even know the names of the people involved, finding them with the basic description was not difficult for him.

He was happy to do something for this long-lost brother of his, so why would he care about such an attitude issue?

At this moment, the waiter came in to serve the dishes, and their conversation paused.

The meal was pre-ordered by Han Shouxin. Since he was unsure of Shen Chi’s family’s preferences, he chose a conservative selection of both meat and vegetarian dishes.

Little Niangao was particularly interested in the ’Four Happiness meatballs’. Lin Xiaoguai, worried that he couldn’t finish them all, took two halves, giving one half to his small bowl and the other to Shen Chi. She herself did not like such greasy food.

Witnessing their family’s warm interaction, a faint smile appeared in Han Shouxin’s eyes. Ever since meeting Shen Chi in the Golden Triangle, he had secretly investigated Shoulu’s adopted life and had uncovered quite a few significant issues.

Concerning this sister-in-law whom his brother had married through dubious means, he wasn’t just worried about them becoming a resentful couple, but also concerned that Yu Zhi wouldn’t be presentable and might be manipulated and used by Liu Yuzhi to drag Shoulu down. Now it seemed he had been overthinking.

Although Shoulu had been living on the outside, his taste was still not bad; the wife he chose was not inferior to those boudoir ladies from the Capital, and actually had quite a few more merits.

However, it was better to be prepared in advance for many things. Thinking of what Liu Yuzhi had done, a stern light flickered in Han Shouxin’s eyes. Some people’s retribution would come sooner or later.

"Shoulu..."

"Hang on," Shen Chi interrupted Han Shouxin’s words. "Let me be upfront with you, my name is Shen Chi, and that won’t change in the future. Shen Chi or Chi, pick one to call me. I won’t respond to anything else."

Han Shouxin was stunned for a moment and instinctively wanted to argue, but thinking about his few interactions with Shen Chi over the past couple of years and his character, he ultimately remained silent.

The matter of reverting to his original name could wait. It wouldn’t be good to anger him now.

"Chi, I know you won’t come back, but if you ever run into any trouble, remember to come to find me," Han Shouxin compromised.

"Don’t worry, I won’t be polite," Shen Chi said frankly.

He was no fool—if there was power to be utilized, he wouldn’t let it go to waste.

The conversation that followed avoided any private topics. Han Shouxin simply talked about family matters, with most of his attention on his little nephew.

For him, who only had one daughter, this little nephew was too appealing. Thinking about how his younger brothers and sisters always curry favor with the old man by using their son and how they insinuated against his daughter, a cold smile played at the corner of his mouth.

"Little Niangao, your Uncle has a sister at home. Next time, should your Uncle bring your sister to play with you?" Han Shouxin coaxed softly.

Despite Han Shouxin already being forty this year, due to marrying late and other reasons, his daughter was only eight years old.
