Seeing how calm she was, He Shichen felt very alarmed. Nevertheless, he said in a friendly manner. “How are you?”

Seeing how the brother and sister had successfully greeted each other and that Chu Qianli’s attitude wasn’t too horrible, Yu Shen quickly smiled and said, “Right, right, right. He is your brother. You can ask him any questions you have about school.”

Now that the family had finally gotten together, they moved into the dining room to eat.

He Shichen secretly observed Chu Qianli while they ate. When he saw that she was calm and articulated, he was even more certain that she was a scheming one who was good at concealing herself. She was probably a far worse opponent than he had originally expected.

Looking at Chu Qianli’s short hair that looked like they had been chomped off by a dog, He Zhenghe, being careful with an adolescence girl’s sensitive heard, asked cautiously, “Do you like having short hair?”

Chu Qianli wasn’t bad looking but her hair was not pretty. They were cropped in a messy way and looked very messy.

He Zhenghe didn’t want to say that out loud. He could only broach the subject in a roundabout way and talk about her preference, trying to figure out what was on her mind.

As the only son, He Shichen had always been resilient. He had been competitive since the day that he was born and was determined to become an outstanding heir of the He family. He had received the earth-shattering blow that he wasn’t even a child of the He family recently!

His parents were poor, shallow, and villainous. They had successfully swapped the baby back then and finally revealed the truth when they were sick. They wanted to scam money from the wealthy He’s when they could no longer afford their astronomical hospital bills.

He Shichen rejoiced in a gloomy way that his stupid father died in the hospital and wasn’t able to enjoy a penny nor did he become a smudge in his life.

Inside the mansion district in the suburb area outside of Beijing, new buds could be seen on the bare branches of the trees, adding some green to the otherwise somewhat gloomy day. Aunty Li, the nanny, swept away all of the fallen leave that had been sitting there through the entire winter and left only with the outdoor round stone table and the chairs. At a glance, it was both neat and forlorn.

Inside the He family, Yu Shen checked the room one more time to make sure that everything was in order before she hurried downstairs. She hasn’t even arrived in the living room yet before she called out her orders, “Aunty Li, have you started the chicken broth yet? Are the lobsters fresh?”
