Younger Brother's Thoughts

Chen Lan watched as Liang Chen's figure rapidly disappeared with the car's departure, and couldn't help but complain, "What a lunatic."

Then she turned her head and kissed Tang Ye on the face, saying, "Darling, you are so handsome."

Tang Ye was caught off guard by the kiss and instinctively looked in the rearview mirror. He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Wen Jing's head down, fiddling with her fingers. Little did he know that at this moment, Wen Jing wished she could find a hole to hide in.

However, through this incident, Wen Jing felt that Chen Lan marrying Tang Ye was the best choice. Liang Chen would only bully Chen Lan, but Tang Ye would protect her. In comparison, Wen Jing thought Tang Ye was simply perfect.

The group finally arrived at the entrance of the mansion a little after ten in the morning. After getting out of the car, Wen Jing said goodbye to Chen Lan. It wasn't appropriate for her to accompany Chen Lan to her family's banquet today.

Tang Ye took the initiative to carry everything in his hands, and Chen Lan naturally hooked her arm through his, feeling the muscles that had tensed up due to the effort.

Just as the two of them reached the entrance of Chen's house, they heard Chen Lan's eldest brother, Chen Ran, shouting, "Grandpa, Dad, Mom, Lanlan, and Ahye are back!"

Then Chen Ran came running with a boy who appeared to be around sixteen or seventeen years old. He reached out to help Tang Ye with the things in his hands.

"Sister!" However, the boy didn't take the items. Instead, he pulled Chen Lan away from Tang Ye and stood between the two of them, giving Tang Ye a cold snort.

"Sister, I've missed you so much!" Chen Tao said these words but kept a wary eye on Tang Ye.

How could his parents marry his sister to this person? She hated him the most. He must save his sister from this predicament.

Chen Lan remembered that this was the original character's younger brother, Chen Tao. He had always liked following behind Chen Lan, doing whatever she said.

He was a smart kid with good academic performance, but he had a bit of a rebellious streak. Chen Jun often chased and beat him with a stick. In other words, he was a high-IQ troublemaker.

Chen Tao's parents were busy with work since he was young, so he grew up following in Chen Lan's footsteps. That had led him to pick up some of her bad habits.

Just like Chen Lan in the past, he firmly believed that Tang Ye was nothing more than a dog his father, Chen Jun, had picked up and was completely unworthy of Chen Lan. So, when he saw Tang Ye, he was filled with hostility.

"Nonsense, I've only been married for three days, and we haven't seen each other for just two days," Chen Lan said, extending her finger to poke him on the head.

"Aiyo, Sister, don't you know that a day apart feels like three autumns?"

"Chen Tao! Come over and help with the stuff!" Chen Ran called out.

Compared to Chen Tao, Chen Lan's brother Chen Ran was just like his father, meticulous and with a strong sense of right and wrong.

When Chen Lan used to bully Tang Ye in their childhood, Chen Ran scolded her for it. Both Chen Ran and Tang Ye attended the same military academy, joined the same army, and were currently part of the same military region, albeit in different battalions.

Chen Tao was most afraid of his father and brother. When he heard this, he quickly snatched two gift boxes from Tang Ye and rushed into the house ahead of everyone.

Chen Lan shook her head in resignation and said, "This kid hasn't changed at all."

"Ahye, don't mind him. You know how he's been since he was a child," Chen Ran said to Tang Ye.

The three of them followed Chen Tao into the house.

"Grandpa, I've brought Ahye back to see you!" Chen Lan exclaimed as soon as she entered the house, seeing her grandfather leaning on his walking cane and looking out the door.

"You've come back. That's good to be back."

"Dad, Mom!" Tang Ye looked at Chen Jun and Wang Lian. He had initially wanted to address them as 'uncle' and 'aunt' but quickly changed his words.

Wang Lian looked excited as she watched the two children holding hands and seeming to get along well. Her anxieties were finally put to rest.

As soon as Tang Ye entered, Chen Jun noticed that he was wearing new clothes that weren't his usual style. He nodded in understanding towards Chen Lan.

The family was in high spirits, but Chen Tao stood in a corner, looking resentful. He was racking his brains, trying to figure out how to make Chen Lan divorce Tang Ye quickly and how to make Liang Chen fall for his sister.

If Chen Lan knew his thoughts, she would probably be infuriated.

A high-quality man obtained for 50 million, and yet her younger brother was trying to get her to divorce him and make Liang Chen, that scumbag, fall for her. He probably didn't want her to live a good life.
