Shen Yanqing turned around and continued cutting the ingredients. After a few seconds of silence, he said, "My family situation is a little complicated."
"My parents had always been on bad terms, so they separated when I was in high school. After that, my mother went overseas and my father remarried."
"I only have an uncle on my father's side of the family, and he's not in Huai City at the moment. I have a few aunts in my mother's family, but because of Mother, I'm not very close to them and don't have much contact with them."
"Oh." Nan Zhe crossed his arms and leaned against the kitchen door frame, sizing him up. "Then how is your stepmother?"
"Generally speaking, stepmothers don't seem to have a good reputation. It doesn't matter if you suffer, but you can't drag Nan Ge along."
Although these words were a little harsh and heartless, from the perspective of an older brother, it was normal for him to care about such problems.
