Reborn as the Cinnabar Mole of the Prince of Beijing's Elite Circle

"Don't worry, I'm here." Xie Yu'an grasped An Cinian's shoulders with both hands, his clear eyes revealing an unwavering vow, just like back then.

Xie Yu'an did not break her promise; it was she who broke her promise. She deceived Xie Yu'an, and her conscience is tormenting her.

Xie Yu'an, I am not the same person I used to be. Even if I were the same person I used to be, I would never have followed you so recklessly.

Therefore, I cannot accept your feelings for me, whether as friends or otherwise.

I am a liar, the kind of person who is most likely to break promises and is dishonest.

“Ci Nian, do you remember? You used to carry me on your back like this when we were little.”

That day, Lin Shu and the others rushed back from Nancheng. When they saw Xie Yu'an's leg, which had been bitten by a dog, they cried and said it was all their fault. They had left Xie Yu'an here with only a nanny to take care of her, which was not safe at all.

We've known each other since childhood, and there's something I want to say to you in my name.

An Cinian's hand, which was on Xie Yu'an's shoulder, now wrapped around Xie Yu'an's neck, leaning tightly against him, her eyes welling up with tears.

She knew perfectly well that Xie Yu'an was on her side, and that no matter what she did or when, Xie Yu'an would always believe her.

But she was still so scared. She cared too much about someone. She had no friends. Her parents were taken away and didn't love her. The grandfather she loved passed away, and then Xie Yu'an also passed away. She was all alone in the world.

"Ayu, will you be angry with me?"

"No." Without hesitation, with unwavering certainty.

An Cinian raised her head and looked at Xie Yu'an's profile: "Why... I, I lied to you. I'm a liar."

"As long as you're by my side, that's enough." Nothing else matters, as long as An Cinian is here.

But I won't always be by your side. An Cinian didn't speak, just like now, she still couldn't give Xie Yu'an the promise she wanted.

She can't afford it.

Tap tap tap, a woman appeared behind An Cinian: "Sister Cinian, are you alright? President Xie is looking for you."

An Cinian was then brought back to reality. Looking at her surroundings, she was momentarily dazed and, for some reason, suddenly thought of things from the past.

"Why are you so late? Where have you been?"

Looking at An Cinian, half an hour has passed. Does it really take that long to go to the toilet?

Seeing An Cinian remain silent, Xie Yu'an simply sighed, stood up, walked to An Cinian's side, took her hand, and the two sat down in the office chairs: "I have a document I'd like to show you."

Fine, I'll look, but what kind of action is this?

Without resisting, she directly opened the file Xie Yu'an had given her. As she read it, Xie Yu'an said, "I know you've been gathering evidence against Anping. You haven't taken any action for so long because you're considering them as your biological parents and grandfather, but Niannian, you..."

Xie Yu'an paused for a while before finally speaking in a deep voice to An Cinian, "The An couple are not your biological parents."

Her eyes widened, and with a thud, the document fell from her hand. An Cinian's body stiffened.

The scene before me changed, becoming eerie and terrifying.

"Tell me, who broke the vase?!" the woman's voice rang out. Seeing that neither of them admitted it, she grabbed the ruler from the table, slammed it down, and shouted, "I'll ask you one last time, who was it?!"

"It was Xiao Nian! She broke it!"

Pointing her finger at An Cinian, the child was indeed not guilty at all when lying, and she did it so decisively, as if she was the one who broke it.

An Wenxin burst into tears, clutching her own hand, looking pitiful: "Xiaonian, you can't lie. Even if you smashed things, Mom wouldn't say anything to you, but it's different for me. I'm not Mom's biological child, you can't treat me like this~"

After saying that, she started crying again, trying hard to wipe away her tears. Her tears, like her, reflected her love for opera and how well she performed.

He stared wide-eyed in disbelief, frozen in place, and whispered, "I didn't, it wasn't me..."

"Look at you, child. You've learned to lie at such a young age, and you've even wronged your sister. Your sister is so sensible, would she lie?" As she spoke, she grabbed An Cinian's arm, and the ruler in her right hand fell down.

It hurts so much~ The pain made my eyes instantly well up with tears. It's clearly not her~

No matter how loudly I cry, I won't show any mercy. She clearly favors An Wenxin, so whatever she says goes. Why must I be the one wronging An Wenxin?

"Oh dear, what's wrong, Nian Nian!"

Grandpa came back and quickly pulled me behind him.

"This child is lying at such a young age. Dad, step aside. I'm going to make her realize her mistake today." His expression was serious, his tone firm, showing no regard for the fact that she was his biological daughter and how his small frame could withstand her beating.

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, she pushed away the hypocritical An Wenxin and shouted that she hated these people and didn't like them!

Then she slammed the door and left, with her grandfather chasing after her and Bai Yiting cursing behind her. As for An Wenxin, I don't know how she felt, but all of this was thanks to her.

She was clearly their daughter and had done nothing wrong, yet they only listened to An Wenxin's side of the story. What did An Wenxin mean to them?

She knew where she was going but didn't know why she came. She didn't have masochistic tendencies; she was just a child who needed her parents' love.

If her parents don't love her, who will?

At that time, she didn't understand grand principles, but she knew that she couldn't wrong people or make accusations without distinguishing right from wrong.

Therefore, she disliked An Wenxin. After An Wenxin came to their family, she not only took away her parents' love, but also treated her badly and always bullied her. Such a person is two-faced, saying one thing to their face and another behind their back.

Only her grandfather was kind to her. He would comfort her, never wrong her, and would even coax her when he was unhappy, take her out to play, and buy her delicious food.

An Cinian looked at the sky outside the window. Warm sunlight streamed in through the window. Looking at the slivers of light, she thought, "These dreams are so annoying. Even after living this life again, I still think about them. They won't even give me a peaceful life."

How ridiculous! Her own parents actually believed a complete stranger, but wouldn't even trust her for a moment.

For so many years, she had been comforting herself, trying to appear indifferent. But now Xie Yu'an was telling her that she wasn't Anping's daughter.

It's really ridiculous. So, her birth was a mistake. She is nobody, and nobody loves her!

"Niannian, don't be afraid, you still have me, I'm here."
