“Otherworld News, Together with Robots, The Old Man and the Sea, Harry Potter…”
“And One Piece, right?” Liao Jingna rolled her eyes, somewhat certain that her brother was still normal and hadn’t been controlled by Liao Shumei yet.
So when did her brother start liking Liao Shumei?
“You think Xiao Di likes Shumei?” Liao Minghai hadn’t forgotten why his sister came to see him.
“Yeah. You didn’t know?” Liao Jingna said matter-of-factly.
Liao Minghai really didn’t know. He only felt that after adolescence, his younger brother’s personality had become a bit strange, and he hadn’t thought in that direction at all.
“Where did you get that idea from?”
Liao Jingna blinked. “A woman’s intuition.”
Liao Minghai was speechless.
Liao Jingna asked again seriously, “Brother, you really don’t like Shumei?”
“I’ve always treated her like a younger sister.”
“Are you sure?”
“Sure.”
“Don’t regret it later if I end up matching her with our younger brother.”
Did he look like such a childish person? Would he not be able to tell whether he liked someone or not? Liao Minghai told her to stop reading those strange books when she had nothing to do.
Liao Jingna muttered. She hadn’t read anything strange—just a few more pseudo-brotherhood romance novels.
Liao Minghai: I knew it!
“Are you going home today?”
“No, I’m temporarily staying at Nannan’s place. I won’t talk to you anymore, I’m heading back first.”
What Liao Minghai thought of “going back” was Jingna returning to the Xu family, but unexpectedly, when he returned home, he saw Jingna sitting quietly inside, looking at him with confusion.
“Didn’t you say you were staying at your best friend’s house temporarily?”
Liao Jingna looked innocent. “Yeah, but… I still want to match them up, so I came back to take a look. In the end, I stayed at home all day and neither of them were here.”
“You didn’t call them?”
“For something like this, how could I call?”
Liao Minghai felt something was off, and then heard Jingna ask him to drive her back to the Xu family.
“You stayed at home that long… don’t tell me you were just waiting for me to be your driver?” Liao Minghai found it unbelievable. “Are you really that free? Are you sure you’re trying to match Xiao Di and Shumei, or are you targeting me instead?”
“Targeting you? Match you with Nannan?” Liao Jingna shrugged. “I did have that idea before, but now… forget it. You two aren’t suitable.”
You’ve already been ‘controlled’ by them. If I introduced you to Xu Nannan and she became my sister-in-law, I’m afraid she’d make things hard for me.
In the end, Liao Minghai still couldn’t resist his sister and became her personal driver.
After all, she was his own sister.
He had to spoil her.
When they reached the entrance of the Xu family home, Jingna didn’t get out of the car.
“Since we’re already here, it’d be rude not to say hello. Go greet Aunt Xu,” she said.
He knew it—Liao Minghai sighed helplessly. Since he knew his sister had once thought of setting him up with Xu Nannan, he knew her intentions weren’t pure.
“You said I and your friend aren’t suitable.”
“Yes.”
“If we’re not suitable, why are you making me go in?”
“I told you to greet Aunt Xu. What does that have to do with my best friend? You’re overthinking it. Hurry up.”
Helpless, Liao Minghai drove into the Xu family courtyard.
No matter what, she was his sister. He still had to indulge her.
“Before we go in, if you hear anything strange later, don’t interfere, got it? Follow my lead.”
“……”
So I shouldn’t go in at all?
Jingna glared at him: What do you think?

Seeing Liao Minghai, Jingna’s brother, again surprised Ruan Yaoyao. She knew they would meet again someday, just not this soon.
“Aunt Xu, I’m Liao Jingna’s brother, Liao Minghai. My sister will be troubling you all for a while.”
“What trouble? She and Nannan are good friends. Their relationship is so good. Having her keep Nannan company makes us all happy,” Ruan Yaoyao said with a smile, while silently complaining inwardly.
【Just a bit troublesome!】
【Such a deep friendship… they can even share men. Incredible.】
Liao Minghai’s pupils contracted.
What men?!
He turned to look at Liao Jingna, wanting to ask what was going on—had she and Xu Nannan become that close?!
Seeing her brother’s shocked expression, Jingna almost wanted to hold her forehead.
So… her brother could hear it too?
No wonder when she brought him here, Nannan’s sister-in-law had warned her to be careful.
Ah…
My face is ruined.
It’s going to be completely lost in front of Nannan.
Ignoring her brother’s shock, Jingna pulled him to sit down and then immediately clung to Ruan Yaoyao’s arm.
“Aunt Xu, what do you think of my brother?”
“What do I think?” Ruan Yaoyao was confused.
“I want to match him with Nannan.”
Liao Minghai’s eyebrow twitched: Didn’t you just say you wouldn’t match us?
So that was a lie?
“Match them? That’s probably not a good idea. Your brother seems excellent—outstanding, full of energy, clearly a very capable young man. A man like him must already have a girlfriend. You shouldn’t waste your effort…” Ruan Yaoyao quickly refused.
【Are you kidding me!】
【One is already controlled by Liao Shumei, the other by Ma Aotian. Putting them together? Are you trying to wipe them both out?】
Jingna shot her brother a “shut up” look.
Liao Minghai: ?!
“Hehe, Aunt Xu, don’t worry. I already asked—my brother doesn’t have anyone he likes, nor a girlfriend. He’s always busy with work and doesn’t have time for relationships. I’m even worried he might not know how to date at all,” Jingna said quickly.
The more she explained, the more Ruan Yaoyao rejected it.
【Your brother is a good man? Please.】
【A man who would do anything for Liao Shumei, even harm his own sister… how could he treat Nannan well?】
【He might even turn Nannan into a human specimen.】
Ruan Yaoyao quickly scanned Liao Minghai’s information again—and indeed saw the horrifying things he had done after being controlled by Liao Shumei.
【Competing with his own younger brother for a woman was one thing, but he even hired someone to hurt his brother, wanting to break his leg just because his brother spoke ill of him in front of Liao Shumei.】
【He thought Liao Shumei’s rejection was because she couldn’t let go of his younger brother, so he decided to eliminate the obstacle.】
Liao Minghai’s eyes widened.
What nonsense was this?!
He couldn’t understand a single word.
Was this “Aunt Xu” mentally unstable?
“Jingna, you—” Liao Minghai just started speaking when he was interrupted.
“Brother, do you need to use the restroom? It’s this way…”
Jingna immediately let go of Ruan Yaoyao’s hand and forcibly dragged her brother aside, her eyes sharp like knives—as if he didn’t cooperate, she might actually stab him.
As a doting older brother, Liao Minghai had no choice but to go along with her.
Only after they were far away and out of sight did he finally ask:
“What exactly are you doing?”
