"Xin Rui," Han Xinche continued wearily, the very image of complete surrender, "we have no way to restore the Han family's glory. All we can do now is to keep a low profile and preserve the Han family."
"But, brother--"
Han Xinrui wanted to say something more but was sharply interrupted by Han Xinche, "Do you want our family to follow in the Tao family's footsteps?!"
Hearing this, Han Xinrui immediately wilted and said no more. Despite his reluctance, he accepted his fate.

Gong Juechen smiled as if he had expected this.
Xiao Changyi was in the study reading a book. When Gong Juechen entered, he smiled and said, "Don't you trust me?"
Xiao Changyi replied, "I trust you won't harm me," but nothing else.
