The only way to find out if there were others behind the scenes was to follow his plan. If there really was someone behind the scenes, then the other party would reveal himself.

Furthermore, since the other party had given him such a chance, there was no reason for him to not use it. Ning Xiaoxiao had already come to a conclusion.

The confused expression on Ning Xiaoxiao's face gradually turned into one filled with hostility. A trace of reluctance appeared on Shao Qijue's face. Back then, his little sister was determined to marry Ning Weishan.

His family would definitely disagree, not because the Shao Family looked down on the poor kid, but it was because on the very first day his little sister brought Ning Weishan to the family, his father started to investigate and test Ning Weishan.

All the generations of the Shao family were boys. In his generation, he only had a few older brothers, and his father only got his younger sister at 40. Therefore, he was particularly concerned about his younger sister's matters.

Especially in the big matter of marriage, the little princess of the Shao family had just reached adulthood, and her family had a hundred women begging for marriage. There was an endless stream of people who came to propose marriage, and all of them were thinking of a strong alliance with the Shao family.

However, her father had told her long ago that the little princess of the Shao family didn't need to marry anyone. As long as she was the one who married her, it would be fine.

He didn't expect that one day, his little sister would actually bring back a boy, who had entered the Shao family on the first day.

He was wearing an ill-fitting khaki suit and a pair of brand-new black cloth shoes. Although they weren't worth much, the workmanship was quite exquisite.

The boy was thin to begin with, probably because he hadn't had enough to eat for a long time. His face was full of malnourished vegetables, and his cheeks were deeply sunken.

To be honest, she introduced him to everyone. When she was her boyfriend, everyone in the family was a little incredulous.

His father had allowed his little sister to choose her own husband, but he hadn't allowed her to marry a poor boy.

Shao Qijue stood up from the sofa and slowly walked to the window, looking out at An Hai.

From above, he could see long rivers converging into the sea from west to east, surrounded by tall buildings. People were coming and going on the streets, all of them searching for the meaning of their existence.

Shao Qijue sighed. This was the place where he lived. Behind him was his sister's daughter. Every time Xiaoxiao called him uncle, his heart would violently clench and he would be unable to breathe.

His sister had announced to her family that Ning Weishan was her lover with a face full of sweetness. The happiness on her face made everyone, including his father, unable to bear to break up this couple.

Being poor was not scary. What was scary was that she had ill intentions. News that she had a boyfriend spread and not long after, her father received an envelope.

Inside the envelope was a stack of photographs. They were of Ning Wei Mountain and all kinds of girls. There were also some captivating photos among them, so his father didn't take it too seriously.

When he saw the photo, he saw a lively girl in patched clothes holding a pair of made cloth shoes and placing them in Ning Weishan's hands.

The girl in the picture had her head down, her long eyelashes hanging down, beautiful as the dew on the green leaves in the morning.

He looked at the date on the photo. It was only a week ago. It was when Ning Weishan and his sister had a crush on each other. His father immediately noticed the unusual relationship between the two.

Thus, he sent out his secretary to investigate. The secretary had investigated everything thoroughly, but of course, all of this was done in secret from his little sister.

Regardless of what kind of person Ning WeiShan was, or what purpose he had, his father would always stress that he could not let his sister know. His father's goal was to protect his sister's dreams of love, and in his father's eyes, she was too fragile.

"What is Uncle thinking?"

Ning Xiaoxiao also stood up and stood by the window. Ning Xiaoxiao's question interrupted Shao Qijue's recollection. Shao Qijue looked out of the window and lovingly stroked Ning Xiaoxiao's hair.

"Uncle is thinking, actually, if a person is protected too well, it can also be a form of harm to her!"

Ning Xiaoxiao followed Shao Qijue's gaze and looked into the distance. Although she wasn't sure what happened to her mother when she was young, she had a strong premonition that the person her uncle was talking about was her mother.

Shao Qijue caressed Ning Xiaoxiao's hair, just like how he caressed her hair 20 years ago.

At that time, Shao Qiyu always nestled on his shoulder and sweetly talked about her love with Ning Weishan.

The truth was in his mouth, but with his father's instructions, he didn't dare to act rashly.

The pretty girl in the photo was the fiancee of the childhood sweetheart of Ning Weishan. Her parents had died when she was young, so she had been living with the childhood sweethearts.

Although he didn't know how close Ning Weishan was to his childhood fiancee, it was obvious that Ning Weishan wanted to take advantage of him.

In his father's eyes, this was not allowed at all. Being poor was not scary, it was fine as long as he was good to his daughter. However, being poor required him to step on two boats and touch his father's reverse scale.

Shao Qijue didn't know what had happened between his father and Ning Weishan, nor did he know what bewitching soup Ning Weishan had given his little sister. By the time he returned from his stay in Xinjiang, his little sister had already become a taboo in the family.

Even the brothers were not allowed to secretly visit their little sister.

"Uncle, thank you so much for standing behind me!"

Ning Xiaoxiao hugged Shao Qijue's arm. She had originally thought that in order to find out the truth about her mother, she would have tied the knot with her uncle. She had never expected that her uncle and cousin would have such a long-awaited kinship.

Shao Qijue silently patted Ning Xiaoxiao's arm. Actually, wasn't he thanking Xiaoxiao as well? Back then, they protected her too well.

After doing something wrong out of good intentions, she hoped that she would not repeat the same mistake again. Xiao Xiao needed her uncle, so he would definitely give her the strongest support he had behind her back.

However, he wouldn't rush to the front and block all the dark sides for her. People would only grow after experiencing darkness.

It was always better to experience darkness bit by bit than to be swallowed by darkness at once.

The setting sun of An Hai moved westward bit by bit, the golden sunlight shining on the surface of the sea. The originally blue sea was also dyed with light.

Under the light of the setting sun, Ning Xiaoxiao held Shao Qijue's arm as if it was an oil painting.

"Director Lu, the medical examinations for the First Court and the Academy have been suspended!"

Lu Qing's head was lowered as he leaned on his desk. When he heard Lin Yi's report, he did not raise his head, but only gave a symbolic nod.

Lin Yi walked out of the office in confusion. The First Courtyard was the hospital controlled by Golden Age, so it didn't matter if they stopped the regular checkups.

But if someone wanted a medical examination, it would have to go to the Second Department or some other hospital.

Lin Yi shook his head in puzzlement as he held the information in his hand. The medical equipment in the First Court and the Academy had just been updated, so there was no need to update their equipment.

He really didn't know what his boss was thinking.
