Xie Jinran looked at that seemingly harmless face and fell into an uncontrollable spiral of suspicion.
Was the younger brother they had just found really so weak and innocent?!
Or was his outward appearance completely at odds with what was inside?!
Could all that timidity and fear have been an act?!

He turned to the camera and gave an awkward laugh. "Maybe Third Brother is in a bad mood after our argument. Sigh, everyone in the family welcomes Brother Xie Chen back, but he just won't listen to anyone's advice. There's really nothing we can do."
