Their many years of friendship would have been in vain if Nam Joo-hyuk had failed to notice that Minho was not in a good mood at that moment.

"Minho, are you really angry?" Nam Joo-hyuk's expression turned stiff. He knew he was at fault. So, he probed him awkwardly.

He cried bitterly in his heart. "What's going on with you guys today? Are you crazy? You two usually are not narrow-minded people and could joke around!"

Upon hearing Nam Joo-hyuk's straightforward question, Minho turned stiff for a moment. He subconsciously clenched his hands that were dangling at the side and after a while, he let go of it.

Nam Joo-hyuk had failed to notice Minho's subtle changes. Minho did not reply to him after some time and Nam Joo-hyuk assumed his silence as his consent. He said in frustration, "Minho, you're not so narrow-minded, aren't you? Lisa... He doesn't really have ill intentions. But... ahem... as long as the matters are related to Ms. Kim, sometimes the way he speaks can be... It's human nature, after all. You could put up with this, right? Or, do you really have feelings for Ms. Kim?"

"I don't!" Nam Joo-hyuk's shocking remark was truly unacceptable. Before he had finished his ludicrous statements, Minho could no longer hold himself back and interrupted him.

Nam Joo-hyuk was rendered speechless. The next moment, he heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Since you have no feelings for Ms. Kim, why did you get into a fight with Feng just now? I know you didn't do it out of a spur of a moment. You are not a reckless person."

Minho fell silent once again. He hesitated for a while before he blurted out under Nam Joo-hyuk's curious and impatient stare, "Ms. Kim... could be my sister."

"What did you say?!" Nam Joo-hyuk screamed. His expression abruptly changed. "Which type of sister? Biological sister or sister lover? You just told me you show no interest in Ms. Kim. How could you overturn your statements so soon? How should I explain this to my good buddy..."

Before Nam Joo-hyuk finished speaking, Minho had already shot a disdainful glance at him. He blurted out disdainfully, "Can you get your mind straight and stop thinking of such crap?! I mean, she could be my biological younger sister."

"Biological younger sister?" Nam Joo-hyuk stopped his banshee-like cries. A hint of puzzlement unusually showed up on his handsome face.

"It can't be... Minho, aren't you an orphan? How did you get your biological younger sister, more so, your younger sister is the eldest lady of the Kim family?!"

Nam Joo-hyuk and Minho had shared many years of friendship. He had long learned about Minho's background. He knew that Minho had grown up in an orphanage. Therefore, he did not believe he actually had a biological younger sister. Besides, he was even told that his so-called biological sister was...

"Minho, this joke is not funny at all."

Minho cast a cool glance at him. His gaze was akin to saying that did he look like someone who would make fun with something like that?

The smile on Nam Joo-hyuk's face turned stiff. After some time, he schooled his face and cynical smile. He said solemnly, "What's going on?"

Minho hesitated for a moment before he briefly told him everything that he had seen and heard at Kim Enterprise not long ago.

Nam Joo-hyuk was not only Minho's business partner. Nam Joo-hyuk was also his good buddy who had been through ups and downs with him.

If there was still someone whom he could put his trust on in this world, Nam Joo-hyuk was certainly the first in line.

As such, Minho had left Sheng Huang Group for three months to go into hiding and let Nam Joo-hyuk handle everything.

After Nam Joo-hyuk finished hearing Minho's explanation, Nam Joo-hyuk's jaw dropped to the point that Minho could even stuff an egg into his mouth.

"You are saying that you're the president of Kim Enterprise's biological son, and you were swapped due to an accident which had caused you to be in exile for so many years. Now, your family has found you and even arranged a paternity test to confirm your identity, right?"

Minho paused for a short moment before he nodded his head.

"Oh my god!" Nam Joo-hyuk cried out depressively. He reached out for his forehead, leaned back, and collapsed on the couch. "This is simply the real-life version of exchanging a civet cat for a crowned prince. How can such a dramatic act happen in..."

Nam Joo-hyuk could not come up with a phrase to describe his current feeling after thinking for some time. A hint of dilemma appeared on his handsome face.

He heaved a sigh and decided to give up. The next moment, he shifted his focus to Minho.

"Minho, regarding this incident... What are your thoughts about this?"

Minho furrowed his eyebrows. Why did everyone ask about his thoughts? He was very confused right now.

Before today, he had no family members. However, after today, he not only had his parents, but also his grandfather and younger sister.

"Do you... know much about the Kim family?"

Nam Joo-hyuk schooled his face. He finally understood what Minho had wanted the most now. He no longer kept the matter in suspense and said in a low voice, "To be precise, Ms. Kim is not your actual younger sister. She is only your cousin."

Right after Nam Joo-hyuk spoke, Minho looked at him and asked in puzzlement, "My cousin?"

"Yes. Ms. Kim is not the president of Kim Enterprise's biological daughter. In fact, President Kim and Madam Kim did not have a child. The former master of the Kim family adored his son and his daughter-in-law and so, he had passed on Ms. Kim to them. They did not open this matter to the public. The outsiders have always thought that Ms. Kim is President Kim's daughter. However, this is no longer a secret among the upper-class society."

Minho did not continue the conversation. He had thought that Jennie was Woobin and Min-a's own flesh and blood. He had never thought that his younger sister had been adopted.

After he fell silent for a while, he asked with some difficulty, "Why didn't they have a child of their own?"

Nam Joo-hyuk heaved a sigh. "To be honest, I'm not very clear with this matter either. I occasionally heard from the elders that the couple had conceived a child before. However, she had a miscarriage due to carelessness. After a few years, she finally conceived a second child. Unfortunately, at that time, the Kim family wanted to gain a foothold in Shalnork and put someone else's interests at stake."

Nam Joo-hyuk looked up and cast a glance at Minho. "You also know well about the business arena. When some people could not win the war, they would resort to something behind the public curtains discreetly for the sake of benefits. At that time, I heard that Madam Kim had been pregnant for more than nine months and was about to deliver the baby. The Kim family had been competing fiercely with another company. That company had failed in a tender with the Kim family. They refused to accept it and had instead gone after Madam Kim who was pregnant with the child back then."

Minho's heart clenched. He belatedly felt a trace of complexity and fear.. The gentle and dignified-looking woman once became a target of those people who were driven by self-interests!
