  Jian Yi was flattered.

  After she divorced Huo Yuan, Jian Yi placed all of her attention on Huo Heng.

  However, she doted on this son too much since he was young. He had developed a bad temper and could not change it.

  Every time he returned home, he would either ask her for money or shout at her.

  She wanted to protect their mother-and-son relationship, but he found her annoying and disgusted.

  No matter how rebellious and insensible he was, he was still her son. Seeing him becoming more and more disobedient and disappointing, how could she not feel sad and heartache?

  Jian Yi could not remember the last time he had spoken to her properly like this!

  Jian Yi did not want to cry in front of him anymore. She wiped her tears and hurriedly replied, “Hey, hey, Mom will feed you.”


  Huo Heng stayed in the hospital for a month. After he was discharged, he followed Jian Yi to the Huo family’s mansion.

  In the past month, Huo Heng had learned from Jian Yi that Huo Yuan and the Huo family in Harbor City had some relations. They were a branch family of the Huo family in Harbor City.

  Although the Huo family here was worlds apart from the Huo family in Harbor City, the Huo family here was rather rich in Yan City.

  The Huo family had several private villas in a good area in Yan City.

  After Jian Yi divorced Huo Yuan, she lived here with Huo Heng.

  One of the largest villas was where Huo Yuan and Ye Shuangshuang lived.

  After Huo Heng was discharged from the hospital, according to the rules of the Huo family, he had to have a meal at the main villa with his family.

  Huo Heng was in a wheelchair and was pushed to the main villa by Jian Yi.

  “Ah Heng is here. He’s been well taken care of for a month and now he’s fair and clean. He’s really handsome. No wonder all the girls in Yan City like our Ah Heng!” Ye Shuangshuang looked at Huo Heng with a smile.

  Although she was praising him, every word was telling him that he was a playboy and that those who liked him were all prostitutes…


  Of course, Ye Shuangshuang said this for Huo Yuan.

  Sure enough, Huo Yuan’s expression changed and he glared at Huo Heng angrily. “If you still don’t change, you might as well change your surname. You’re embarrassing the Huo family.”


  Huo Heng did not act like a firecracker like he usually did. He nodded with a smile. “Dad, I’ve made you worried and disappointed some time ago. After experiencing this life and death situation, I’ve understood some things. In the future, please see how I perform.”


  The entire family did not believe that Huo Heng had said those words.

  Old Madam Huo was the first to react. She used to dote on this grandson the most, but this grandson stopped kissing her after he grew up. She wanted to get close to him but he even thought that she had the smell of an old person.

  Old Madam Huo went forward and grabbed Huo Heng’s hand. “My Heng’er, you’ve grown up.”


  Huo Heng held the Old Madam’s old hand, a smile on his scarlet lips. “Grandma, I was unfilial in the past.”


  Ye Shuangshuang and Ye Hongming looked at each other in surprise.

  Did this piece of trash have a change in personality?

  Ye Shuangshuang’s fingers dug into her palm and a trace of coldness flashed past her eyes as she looked at Huo Heng.

  …


  When they were eating, Old Madam Huo said to Huo Yuan, “Ah Yuan, do you still remember the Xia family in Wenfeng County? Old Master Xia saved your Grandpa’s life before. Your Grandpa wanted to arrange a marriage between you and the Xia family, but the Xia family’s first few sons were all sons. Later, your Grandpa and Old Master Xia agreed to let the grandchildren do it.”


  “A few days ago, when something happened to Ah Heng, I went to look for a master to read his fortune. If Ah Heng gets married early, it will be good for him. What I mean is, find some time and let’s bring Ah Heng to the Xia family.”


  As Old Madam Huo spoke, she looked at Huo Heng, afraid that he would be disgusted. “Ah Heng, Grandma told you about your Grandpa’s wish when he was still alive. Can you promise Grandma to go to the Xia family to take a look first?”


  Huo Heng’s heart skipped a beat.

  The hand holding the chopsticks slowly tightened.

  The Xia family?

  Would Tangtang be there?

  Ye Shuangshuang, who was sitting beside Huo Yuan, thought that Huo Heng would flip the table angrily if the Old Madam mentioned this. She did not expect him to say calmly, “I’ll listen to Grandma’s arrangements.”


  …


  Wenfeng County.

  In the Xia family.

  “I’m not getting married. If you want me to marry that useless thing, I’d rather die!”


  “Didn’t you hear? He’s disabled now. Not only can’t he walk, but… I can’t say that.”


  In the Xia family’s main house, the girl was crying nonstop.

  In the second branch of the Xia family, Qiu Zhi was knitting at the head of the bed. Her eldest daughter, Xia Lan, and her second daughter, Xia Xing, were sitting around her while her youngest daughter, Xia Cha, was lying on the bed.

  A month ago, Xia Cha had been hit by a motorcycle in the county and had almost left them.

  Although Xia Cha had woken up, she had been malnourished since she was young and had almost lost her life. Her body was still very weak.

  She spent more time asleep than alive.

  “I don’t know what Eldest Uncle and the others are arguing about in their room. Eldest Sister is crying so heartbreakingly,” Xia Xing muttered unhappily.

  Xia Xing and Xia Cha were twins. They were fifteen years old this year. Not only were their appearances different, but their personalities were also not similar at all.

  Xia Xing was more shrewd and straightforward, but Xia Cha was too timid. In Xia Xing’s words, she was weak and useless.

  Xia Lan was more quiet and did not like to talk about others’ gossip.

  Qiu Zhi pinched Xia Xing softly. “Keep your voice down.”


  Xia Xing really could not stand her family. Her grandparents had four sons and one daughter. Her family belonged to the second branch. Her father usually did the most work, but because her mother had three daughters, her grandmother and her uncle looked down on them.

  Under the same roof, their family lived the most cowardly life.

  Xia Xing glared at Qiu Zhi and slammed the door.

  “This child…” Qiu Zhi covered her chest, feeling a little suffocated.

  Xia Lan caressed Qiu Zhi. “Mom, Xing’er is still young. Don’t be angry.”


  Qiu Zhi sighed and looked at Xia Cha, who was on the bed. Xia Cha’s forehead was still wrapped in gauze, her dark yellow face was pale and she was so thin that she did not look like a fifteen-year-old girl.

  “My poor Cha Cha.” Qiu Zhi caressed Xia Cha’s face.

  The thin girl on the bed opened her eyes. Seeing the tears in Qiu Zhi’s eyes, she sighed in her heart.

  When she woke up, her memories were blank. She did not know who she was, but she had a feeling that she did not belong here.

  There were several times when she wished that after she fell asleep, she would wake up and return to where she belonged. However, when she opened her eyes, she was still here.

  Her mother, Qiu Zhi, her father, Xia Zhenyuan, and her older sister, Xia Lan, were all very concerned about her. Every day, they would ask about her well-being and take care of her. They would give her the best food in the house first. Every day, she would be sleepy and listless. They were more anxious than anyone else.

  She closed her eyes, resigned to her fate.

  Since she had become Xia Cha, there was no need for her to fight against fate. She had to live well and not let the people who cared about her worry.
