While unconscious, Wen Shengsheng felt someone taking care of her.

The man's hands were warm, and he touched her skin very gently.

It felt just like when Xi Yu dried her hair when she was little.

Actually, her relationship with Xi Yu wasn't initially tense.

On the contrary, there were too many warm and loving moments, which is why the relationship has become distant and so much hatred has arisen.

She found Xi Yu, who had fainted from a high fever, in the snow one winter night during her second year of junior high school, and took him to the hospital.

He was very ill; he had a high fever and it had also caused lung inflammation, so he had to be hospitalized.

Wen Shengsheng searched his entire body but couldn't find anything to prove his identity, nor could she find his family.

So, being so young, she had to take on the responsibility of caring for him, and she used all the tuition money in her card for medical expenses, staying in the hospital to take care of him.

Wen Shengsheng will always remember the look in Xi Yu's eyes when he woke up.

It was a feeling of shock, yet also of déjà vu.

"What's your name?" he asked.

"Wen Shengsheng." Wen Shengsheng was still a little timid in front of a strange older brother.

"Where are Mom and Dad?" he asked again.

Upon hearing those four familiar words, Wen Shengsheng's tears fell before she could even open her mouth.

Her parents had only been gone for a few months, and she was in a daze every day, unable to distinguish between what was real and what was fake.

Her voice trembled as she finally found her voice, "My uncle said that my parents died in a car accident..."

Xi Yu fell silent.

The two stared at each other blankly; she kept shedding tears, and his face was terribly pale.

After a long time, he said, "I've also been abandoned by my family and have nowhere to go. I can't pay you back the money I owe you right now. Can I stay by your side, take care of you, and pay you back the money?"

"You want to stay with me?" She thought she had misheard.

"Ah."

Wen Shengsheng stopped crying and asked again, "You want to stay by my side?"

Xi Yu nodded, his cool and handsome face showing a tender yet heavy expression. "Yes, I'll stay by your side, take care of you, and pay off my debts..."

For Wen Shengsheng, who had just lost her parents and was all alone, Xi Yu was shining brightly at that moment, illuminating her dark and confused life.

Although they weren't familiar with each other, she surprisingly trusted Xi Yu.

As soon as he was discharged from the hospital, she took Xi Yu back to her home in Jiuru Mansion.

They lived together.

Wen Shengsheng is in school, while Xi Yu is 6 years older than Wen Shengsheng and is already an adult who can work.

He became Wen Shengsheng's little parent.

While Wen Shengsheng was at school during the day, he worked outside to earn money. In the evening, after picking Wen Shengsheng up from school, he would do housework, cook, and tutor her homework, taking care of her in every way.

Wen Shengsheng once felt sorry for him because he was working too hard and wanted to go out to work during the summer vacation to help him share the burden.

Xi Yu firmly refused, telling her to focus on her studies.

She loved the piano since she was a child, but stopped learning after her parents passed away because it was too expensive.

When Xi Yu found out, he immediately enrolled her in piano lessons and supported her all the way to university.

They lived in Jiuru Mansion for a full 5 years.

Those five years should have been the darkest time in Wen Shengsheng's life, but because of Xi Yu's appearance, she lived a happy and fulfilling life.

Until the summer she was admitted to Peking University.

All happiness came to an abrupt end.

When Xi Yu was found by the Xi family, Wen Shengsheng realized that Xi Yu was not a homeless vagrant at all, but the second young master of the Xi family, a wealthy family in Beijing!

She ran away from home after arguing with her family, which is why she was taken in by them.

After he left, Wen Shengsheng looked at the empty house and felt as if her heart had been completely hollowed out.

It was only then that she realized that her feelings for Xi Yu were no longer as simple as those for family.

She was extremely upset, so she went to the Xi family to find him.

Xi Maokun said that she could stay by Xi Yu's side, but only as an adopted daughter of the Xi family.

Wen Shengsheng hesitated. Becoming an adopted daughter meant she and Xi Yu could only be siblings...

But Xi Yu agreed on her behalf.

At the time, this incident was exposed online by someone with ulterior motives, making headlines. The entire city of Beijing praised the Xi family for their gratitude and regarded them as moral role models.

Life after entering the Xi family was not as good as Wen Shengsheng had imagined; in fact, it was extremely difficult, and she could not hold her head up at all. Her status was even lower than that of a servant.

Fortunately, Xi Yu treated her quite well in the first few years. Although she was easily wronged, life was still passable.

Until the appearance of Li Wanqiu.

Everyone knows that she is Xi Yu's ideal woman, and Xi Yu is also deeply in love with her.

Seeing that she was about to lose Xi Yu, Wen Shengsheng was very scared.

She loved Xi Yu and wanted to try to win him over, so she confessed her feelings to him at his birthday party.

Xi Yu looked very upset and rejected her in front of everyone.

He said that there was only kinship between them, accumulated from living together for a long time, but no romantic love; he only loved Li Wanqiu in his heart.

This one sentence caused Wen Shengsheng to be sick for a whole month, with recurring high fevers.

The root of their relationship breakdown was this confession.

From then on, Xi Yu and Li Wanqiu grew closer and closer, while he drifted further and further away from her.

As the scenes from the past replayed in my mind, a surge of emotion welled up in my eyes.

Wen Shengsheng slowly opened her eyes.

"Sheng Sheng, you're awake?"

Aunt Chen exclaimed in surprise from the side.

Wen Shengsheng didn't know how long she had been unconscious; she only felt that her throat was extremely dry and hoarse.

"Aunt Chen, I want some water," she said weakly.

"Okay, I'll go get you some water."

Aunt Chen was the nanny who took care of Xi Yu since he was a child, and she was also the only person in the entire Xi family who was kind to Wen Shengsheng.

After drinking some water, Wen Shengsheng felt like she was truly alive again.

However, my knees were still very sore when I got up.

“Sigh, Sheng Sheng, you’re really stubborn. The old man wants you to get in touch with that Li Chuan. Even if you don’t want to, you could at least pretend. Why do you have to go against the old man and get punished by kneeling?”

Wen Shengsheng felt depressed. Her body ached, but her heart didn't hurt as much.

She stared at the ceiling and asked.

"Aunt Chen, you also think that with my identity, it's already quite good that I was able to find Li Chuan and help the Xi family with the marriage, right?"

"Of course not." Aunt Chen raised her voice, then looked around in alarm and lowered her voice, saying, "Silly child, if you don't accept Li Chuan, the old man is planning to marry you off to that Chao Xiong Zhou!"

"Several wives in their family have died, and now no one is willing to marry their daughter to them. I heard that they contacted the old man recently, saying that his son Chaoxiong has taken a liking to you!"

Wen Shengsheng's eyes widened instantly, and goosebumps rose all over her body.

"Don't joke with me, Aunt Chen."

"Oh, how could I joke about something like this with you? If it weren't for this, your brother Yu wouldn't be pressuring you like this."

Wen Shengsheng was stunned.

In Beijing, there is a famously wealthy second-generation heir named Zhou Xiang from the Zhou family.

He has a very serious tendency towards violence and is very cruel.

However, his family was wealthy, so he was able to find wives, but the girls who married into his family either went mad or died.

After doing this several times, no one in Beijing was willing to marry their daughter into their family anymore.

Wen Shengsheng's face turned pale, and her whole body trembled slightly.

Has Xi Maokun gone mad?

They actually had such an idea!

No, she has to leave, she has to leave the Xi family.

Otherwise, she'll die!

Wen Shengsheng was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't notice when Xi Yu had entered.

"Are you feeling better?" he asked in a low voice.

"She just woke up and hasn't eaten much yet. I'll go make something for Sheng Sheng right away." Aunt Chen stood up with a smile. "You two talk first."

Then he left the room.

Wen Shengsheng's mind was still blank. She looked at Xi Yu and asked, "Is it true about Chao Xiong Zhou?"

Xi Yu didn't look well; his face showed signs of fatigue.

"Aunt Chen told you everything."

If he says so, then it must be true.

Thinking of this, Wen Shengsheng suddenly grabbed his hand.

"Brother Yu, I want to ask you for a favor."
