When Shen Xinghe went downstairs, he saw his mother sitting on the sofa with a sad face, flipping through a photo album in her hands.

Shen Xinghe walked over and sat down beside her, comforting her: "Mom, you should get some rest early. It's not good to be too stressed out."

That thick photo album was filled with every bit of Nian Yi's life from the age of one to nineteen, and was a testimony to Nian Yi's growth in the Shen family. Shen Xinghe naturally knew how much effort her parents had put in for Nian Yi, and as a brother, he had also watched Nian Yi grow up.

Jiang Xin sighed, her expression filled with grief, and her tears fell on the photo album. She touched Shen Nianyi in the photo album and said to her son, "How can I rest when I think of Shen Nianyi suffering in prison? Xinghe, Mom can't live without Shen Nianyi."

"Mom, don't worry, Dad and I will try to get Nianyi a chance to get her sentence reduced."

"I adopted Nianyi when she was one year old. We have lived together for eighteen years. Qiao Zhixia is tearing my flesh out. She was a good kid when she was young. Tell me, how could she be so cruel?"

Shen Xinghe wanted to reply, but he saw his mother flipping through the photos to the front and pointing at the photo of the two siblings. "Look, when you were little, Weiyi was a well-behaved and obedient child, but you were a little naughty. This photo was taken because Weiyi grabbed you and you were so obedient."

Shen Xinghe looked at the photo, and some distant memories seemed to come to his mind.

In my memory, there is a sweet little girl holding the little boy's hand and saying, "Brother, brother, I want to buy some candy. I want to eat some candy."

Little boy: "Yi Yi, my mom told me before I left that I should eat less sugar particles, or my teeth would get bad."

"Brother, can you just buy one?" The round little eyes looked at the candy and it sparkled.

The little boy looked at his sister's expectant face and took out money from his pocket: "Buy, buy, buy, but you can't tell mom."

"Brother is the best..."

……

Shen Xinghe could not remember these faint memories unless he saw the childhood photos. As time went by, Nian Yi came to the Shen family. She was not in good health when she was a child and was always crying.

With the existence of Nian Yi, the mother had someone to rely on and no longer had to shed tears. As Nian Yi grew up, she looked somewhat like her younger sister when she was a child, except that she was a little weaker.

As they spend more time together, his memories are filled with memories of him and Nian Yi growing up, while the real Yi Yi seems to have been forgotten in the past.

Shen Xinghe pressed his chest and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He seemed to understand why Qiao Zhixia could not integrate with the Shen family after returning to them. She was the lost daughter of their Shen family, but her position had been replaced by Nianyi.

At this moment, Shen Xinghe suddenly remembered something that they had overlooked, "Mom, why did you think Nianyi had a connection with our Shen family?"

Jiang Xin's mind was now full of his adopted daughter suffering in prison, and he didn't understand the crux of his son's question. His face softened as he recalled, "The reason is actually very simple, because Nianyi was born on October 8th, and my only child was also born on October 8th. When I adopted Nianyi, she had just turned one year old, and it has been eighteen years in a flash.

Why would she listen to Mu Wan's instigation for no reason? Is it because we don't love her enough? Does she think that we will drive her away if we recognize her as our biological daughter?"

As Shen Xinghe listened to his mother talking about Nian Yi, he felt more and more depressed, as if Nian Yi was the one that the Shen family had always been paying attention to. He glanced around the whole house and found that the only evidence of her existence was gone.

Her mother seemed to have separated Weiyi and Qiao Zhixia into two people in her actions. Although she found them, she no longer gave them the cold, warm and gentle instructions she had given them when they were children.

October 8th is a day that comes every year. They have forgotten the significance of this day in the Shen family. The only thing is... she was born on this day.

Last year, they held a coming-of-age ceremony for Nian Yi on October 8th. The cake was destroyed, but Zhou Yuechuan believed in Qiao Zhixia.

On October 8th of this year, in order to make up for Nian Yi's regretful birthday last year, he actually agreed with his mother's idea and asked his own sister to go out for a walk first and go back after Nian Yi's birthday gift was completed, even though her only birthday was on this day.

Wei has been back for three years, and they have never even said happy birthday to her.

Thinking of the outrageous words he had uttered on that day, Shen Xinghe felt even more breathless and suffocated.

Why is it that even though she is his only biological sister, all his thoughts are leaning towards Nian Yi, without any thought for his biological sister?

"Son, what's wrong with you? I see you don't look well. Is it because of the company's recent affairs that you haven't had a good rest? Oh, by the way, she said that the stock price of our Shen Group has fallen sharply. Is that true?"

"Mom, it's okay. I just need to calm down and think carefully about some things. You should also go to bed early." Shen Xinghe didn't ask anything in the end and dragged his tired body upstairs.

He did not return to his own room, but went to the room where Qiao Zhixia once lived. Now, apart from the things he had bought, there was no trace of her ever existing in the room.

Shen Xinghe sat on the edge of the bed and slapped herself hard on the face twice. At this moment, her mind seemed to be much clearer. They seemed to have never asked what happened to her after she disappeared, whether she ate well, or whether she was warmly dressed.

They were just afraid that she would bring shame to the Shen family when she came back for the first time, so they bought her clothes, a piano, and enrolled her in a school, hoping that she would get rid of the bad habits she had picked up outside, for fear that she would damage the Shen family's reputation.

She had produced evidence for her conflicts with Nian Yi, but because she was not what they expected her to be, they chose to ignore and not believe her.

The only way she existed was like a tenant in the Shen family. When the lease was up, she checked out and left!

As for Nian Yi, she would fall into Mu Wan's trap as soon as she was provoked. Was she instigated or was it just her nature? The more Shen Xinghe thought about it, the more he felt that what he was about to know was even more terrifying.

Thinking of his father's abnormal behavior again, Shen Xinghe finally called Han Zhen.

"Shen Xinghe, what's the matter that you call me so late at night? It's completely useless to plead for your sister Shen Nianyi. She didn't attempt kidnapping, but was committing a crime. If we hadn't stopped her, it would be Ms. Qiao Zhixia who would have lost her life. I'm just enforcing the law here. If you want to defend yourself, please find a lawyer yourself, and don't try to find loopholes in the law with me." Han Zhen made it clear directly to prevent Shen Xinghe from using connections.

"I called you, do you think I just want to plead for Nian Yi? Not for anything else?"
