[Starting from this volume, Qin Song officially changes his name to Xie Zhaoyuan, beginning a new life!]

Today is Xie Zhaoyuan's discharge day. Early in the morning, people from both the Pei and Xie families rushed to the hospital, crowding the large single ward to the point where it was difficult to move.

"Zhao Zhao, this is your uncle." Xie Jiangshan led Xie Zhaoyuan by the hand, introducing her to each of her relatives.

She stood upright and obediently, greeting him politely, "Hello, Uncle."

"Hey!" The uncle laughed so hard his eyes disappeared, and he quickly pulled out two huge red envelopes from his pocket and stuffed them into Xie Zhaoyuan's hands.

"Zhaozhao, this is a small token of my appreciation for you and Xiangxiang. You must accept it!"

"This..." Xie Zhaoyuan didn't dare to accept it immediately, but looked up at Xie Jiangshan, trying to gauge his intentions.

"Hahaha!" He laughed heartily, his eyes full of affection, and said, "Silly child, quickly accept it! Don't refuse money from your uncle."

Xie Zhaoyuan grinned sheepishly and stuffed the two huge red envelopes into her pocket.

"Thank you, uncle."

Her uncle patted her on the shoulder and went to see Xiangxiang with a smile.

Xie Jiangshan led her to meet the next relative.

"Zhaozhao, this is your third uncle."

Xie Zhaoyuan: "Hello, Third Uncle."

"Hey!" Uncle San gave me two more huge red envelopes.

"Zhaozhao, this is your cousin Minmin."

"Hello, cousin Minmin."

"Zhaozhao, this is your cousin who doesn't want to get married."

"Hello, cousin..."

The Xie family had a large population, and the house was crammed with Xie Zhaoyuan's extended family.

She got to know all these relatives, and returned with her hands full of red envelopes and gifts.

Several relatives even prepared gifts for Pei Xingzhi.

"So much money..." Xie Zhaoyuan patted her bulging pockets, her mouth agape with joy.

"Little money-grubber." Pei Xingzhi took her hand and gently squeezed the base of her thumb.

"Isn't being a money-grubber good?" Xie Zhaoyuan looked at him and asked arrogantly.

"Okay." He smiled slightly, his eyes filled with affection as he looked at Xie Zhaoyuan.

"As long as Xiaosong is happy, anything is fine."

"Hmm?" Hearing this form of address, Xie Zhaoyuan frowned. "What did you call me?"

Pei Xingzhi was stunned for a moment before realizing that he had forgotten to correct himself.

"Sorry, it should be Zhaozhao. As long as Zhaozhao is happy, anything is fine."

"No." Xie Zhaoyuan shook her head.

“…No?” Pei Xingzhi didn’t understand her meaning. “Why not?”

Xie Zhaoyuan curled her index finger and secretly scratched Pei Xingzhi's palm.

"Everyone calls me Zhaozhao, do you want to be like them?"

Pei Xingzhi felt the tingling sensation in his palm and understood Xie Zhaoyuan's meaning. But instead of saying it directly, he pretended to be confused and asked, "Zhaoyuan doesn't want me to be like them?"

"I don't want to," Xie Zhaoyuan said honestly. "You are different, so you should address me differently."

“Hmm…” Pei Xingzhi nodded, thought seriously for a moment, and then said, “Since you want to be different from others, then I can’t call you Zhaozhao. But if I don’t call you Zhaozhao, what should I call you?”

Xie Zhaoyuan asked expectantly, "What do you think?"

Pei Xingzhi: "I think..."

"Zhaozhao, Xingzhi, you can go now!"

Before Pei Xingzhi could even utter the address he wanted to use, Xie Mingyi called them away from the ward door.

"..." Since he had been interrupted, Pei Xingzhi decided to wait a while before continuing.

Moreover, the ward is crowded and noisy, so it's not a good place to talk about this.

"Let's go home first." He let go of Xie Zhaoyuan's hand and turned to get the baby carrier from the bed.

Pei Ye was already asleep in the basket, and the noise in the ward couldn't disturb him.

"Zhao Zhao, be good. We can discuss the way you address me tonight."

"Alright," Xie Zhaoyuan agreed.

"Xingzhi." Xie Mingyi squeezed his way in and walked excitedly to Pei Xingzhi. "Think about it, let me carry you. You just need to hold Zhaozhao's hand."

“Alright.” Pei Xingzhi handed over the basket, then contentedly took Xie Zhaoyuan’s hand again.

"That's exactly what I was thinking."

Xie Mingyi smiled and said, "Let's go home."

Xie Zhaoyuan: "Okay! Let's go home."

The news that Xie's Technology's youngest daughter returned home for the first time after being switched at birth for many years was big news for gossip reporters in Yuncheng.

Adding to the huge buzz generated by the feud between the real and fake heiresses and the exposure of Pei Dahua's identity a few days ago, Xie Zhaoyuan's return home has been trending on Yuncheng's local hot search list since midnight.

The hospital entrance was already crowded with reporters and netizens trying to get attention, so Xie Zhaoyuan absolutely couldn't just swagger out.

Pei Xingzhi and Xie Mingyi had anticipated this situation, so they had discussed and devised a plan in advance.

The two families split into two groups. One group went through the front entrance to attract the attention of reporters and netizens; the other group went through the underground parking lot, taking Xie Zhaoyuan and Xiangxiang with them to sneak out in the dark.

Xie Mingyi had already arranged a car and driver. As soon as Pei Xingzhi and Xie Zhaoyuan stepped out of the elevator, they were immediately picked up by the driver and put into the car.

The driver was driving an ordinary car, an old and dusty Volkswagen. Anyone who didn't know better would never guess that the young heiress of Xie's Technology was sitting inside.

"We're home." Pei Xingzhi held Xie Zhaoyuan's hand with one hand and protected the basket with the other, his face full of happiness.

"Go home," Xie Zhaoyuan repeated softly.

The driver responded with a "Yes" and immediately started the car.

The dusty Volkswagen slowly moved out of the parking space, and just as it was about to turn and drive out of the parking lot, it suddenly braked hard!

"Thorn-"

The tires screeched against the ground with a piercing screech. Xie Zhaoyuan, in the back seat, was thrown off by the inertia, her back jerking off the seat before being forcefully slammed back down.

"Zhaozhao!" Pei Xingzhi reached out and put his arm around her, asking anxiously, "Are you alright? Were you hit by anything?"

Xie Zhaoyuan gripped his hand tightly and shook her head somewhat blankly: "I'm fine."

"What happened?" Pei Xingzhi frowned, glaring angrily at the driver. "Why did you suddenly brake?"

The driver apologized somewhat nervously, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Pei, someone suddenly blocked the road in front of the car, that's why I braked suddenly."

"Who's blocking the car?" Pei Xingzhi unbuckled his seatbelt.

Driver: "I don't know, I don't know him."

"Don't you recognize him?" Pei Xingzhi leaned forward and peered out through the gap between the two seats.

The hospital's underground parking lot is very dark; drivers can only see the road ahead clearly by turning on their headlights.

The headlights were blindingly bright, and a tall, imposing man stood within the pale white halo of light.

The man was dressed casually, wearing a black face mask that revealed only his handsome eyebrows and eyes.

Pei Xingzhi curled his lips into a smile, and his tone suddenly became somewhat strange:

“Lu Yibai…”
