The Rebirth of an Orphan

Zhao Xihua sighed. The Zhao family was not good at doing serious things, but it was definitely best to let them do some despicable things.

Sun Xiao is the legitimate heir of the Sun family, and the Zhao family members dare not say anything nonsense, but Zhao Xihua, an orphan with a bad fate, can slander him however she wants. She is very clear about this.

But Sun Xiao put all the responsibility on her, and Zhao Xihua didn't quite understand why he did that.

She didn't want to say anything more to Sun Xiao in such a difficult situation, so she looked at Sun Xiao and said, "Master, you are too kind. I know how the people of Yuncheng evaluate me, so please don't blame yourself. As the saying goes, a lot of gossip can melt gold, and a lot of criticism can destroy a person. Don't take the gossip of a bunch of boring people to heart."

After listening to this, Sun Xiao felt mixed feelings of love and hate for the person in front of him. He liked her tenacity but also hated her stubbornness. She could obviously rely on him to handle those things, but she was unwilling to ask him for help.

He had a feeling that Zhao Xihua was always intentionally distancing herself from him, especially after meeting someone like Gu Lun, his sense of crisis became even stronger.

He also didn't expect that her master would be in that remote nursing home. He also heard that her master was a criminal. The whole Yuncheng was in an uproar because of the nursing home incident. What worried him even more was that so many people were burned to death. This matter was definitely not a simple one.

What's more, how could he feel at ease when the girl he cared about was involved in this unexpected disaster for no reason?

Sun Xiao looked at Zhao Xihua, and a rare arrogance and strength emerged in his eyes, which had always been gentle. Then he suddenly grasped Zhao Xihua's hands tightly.

Zhao Xihua was not prepared for his action and struggled to pull her hand out. Unexpectedly, the quilt covering her body slipped down, revealing her slender shoulders. Seeing this, Sun Xiao almost stopped breathing.

He calmed down, quickly let go of Zhao Xihua's hand, and then helped Zhao Xihua cover the quilt and smiled faintly: "Have you forgotten the previous engagement between your Zhao family and the Sun family?"

Zhao Xihua didn't know why Sun Xiao suddenly brought up this matter, but Sun Xiao was the legitimate heir of the Sun family, and everything he said must have been for a reason. She didn't know how to answer, but just stared at Sun Xiao, not understanding what he was trying to say.

Sun Xiao looked at Zhao Xihua, who was confused, and said word by word, "The Sun family has also encountered many things in the past few years, but now my health has been getting better and better, and it is time for me to start a family and build a career. As a prominent family in Yuncheng, our Sun family will definitely abide by our previous promises and keep our word."

A trace of apology appeared on his face again. He said, "I know you want to open a clinic, but your master...your master has had an accident again. I guess this clinic won't be open for a while. I'll go back and tell my grandmother that we should get engaged first, okay?"

After laying the groundwork for a long time, Sun Xiao finally spoke out what he had in his heart. Zhao Xihua was still very surprised that Sun Xiao had such an idea.

Although he has gradually established his foothold in the Sun family, people of her status are actually not worthy of his attention. He did not expect that he could make such a promise.

But for some reason, Zhao Xihua felt uncomfortable and had some indescribable feelings.

But she remembered the death of her master, who died in an unclear manner and only Miss Nangong had come before his death. It seemed that marrying into the Sun family again became the only option.

"How is it? What do you think?" Sun Xiao asked her anxiously.

"I know you don't like me," Sun Xiao sighed as he looked at Zhao Xihua's expression, "but I don't want to see you always being framed and bullied, while I'm working so hard. I think it's more reassuring to keep you by my side and take care of you."

Zhao Xihua looked at Sun Xiao, looking at the gentle man in front of her. Although his aunt might be the murderer who killed her master, he was really good to her.

She felt a little grateful in her heart, and said, "Master, if you want me to agree to your words, I also have something to tell you clearly, and then you can make a decision, okay?"

Sun Xiao laughed and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it. I won't force you. If you have any difficulties or want me to help you with something, just tell me directly."

Zhao Xihua nodded, "To be honest, I don't want to marry into a wealthy family like the Sun family in my life. I only want a stable life and not wealth. It's just that the situation is difficult now. I have no choice but to do this. It's not because I like the young master that I am willing to marry you. So, even if this is the case, are you still willing to marry me?"

Zhao Xihua couldn't tell Sun Xiao that she went to the Sun family to find out the cause of her master's death, but Sun Xiao was good to her and she didn't want to lie to him, so she could only say everything she needed to say.

Sun Xiao felt a little disappointed after hearing this. After all, he was a proud man, but so what? Even if Zhao Xihua didn't like him, one day he would find a way to make himself a place in her heart.

He looked at Zhao Xihua firmly, "Thank you for your frankness. Have a good rest today and wait for my news."

After Sun Xiao left, Zhao Xihua couldn't help feeling bitter in her heart. She had said so much, but Sun Xiao still wanted to marry her into the Sun family. She felt very complicated and didn't know what to say.

"Sister, it's time to take medicine." Pingshui came in with the medicine. Looking at Zhao Xihua's pale face, she couldn't help feeling a little distressed.

Zhao Xihua looked at Pingshui in front of her. In her previous life, it was this girl who brought medicine to her side every day and took care of her. The Pingshui in her memory and the Pingshui in reality were intertwined, making her feel unreal.

"Sister, what's wrong?" Pingshui felt that her sister looked at her strangely.

Zhao Xihua smiled and said, "Pingshui, maybe we will go to the same place together again. I never believed in fate before, but now I have to believe in it. I tried hard to get rid of it but still can't. In this case, let's face it together."

Pingshui didn't understand what Zhao Xihua said, but she knew that her sister was different now.

"Sister, I'm not very good at talking. I know you're sad, and I don't know how to comfort you. But no matter what, I'll follow you wherever you are. As long as I follow you, I won't be afraid no matter what I do."

"Okay—" Zhao Xihua felt relieved, "Don't worry, I won't let you suffer with me. Since we have a new beginning, we must be the best."

Yes, as long as she is alive, as long as she has a breath, she will never humiliate herself again.

Three days later, Zhao Xihua waited for Aunt Wang who was staying with the old lady of the Sun family.
