Among this family, Xuan Yihan was the first to discover Lin Yanran.

"Xuan, Xuan Yanran..."

I had just finished complaining to my parents behind their backs, but the next second I was caught by the person involved.

When Xuan Yihan saw Lin Yan, he felt guilty and embarrassed, and hid behind his father.

When Xuan Hongwei and Qiu Yayu heard what happened and saw their son being so frightened after seeing Lin Yan, they immediately turned around and scolded each other angrily.

"Xuan Yanran, you came at the right time. I was planning to look for you."

Lin Yanran met the gaze of the person who came and looked directly at the strange yet familiar man in front of her.

Strangeness is relative to him, he himself does not know the other person.

But he seemed familiar because this man was the original owner's adoptive father, and the original owner had been with them for sixteen years.

After Lin Yanran entered the book, she inherited almost no memories of the original owner.

But when he saw the man in front of him, his body reflexively took two steps back.

Then he inexplicably felt an uncomfortable feeling in his body, as if there was a fear engraved in his bones, causing his body to also produce this instinctive fear...

Lin Yanran frowned.

I don’t know how badly Xuan Hongwei treated the original owner in the past.

He is clearly the one in control of this body, yet he still has such a fearful reaction.

Seeing that Lin Yanran didn't say anything, Qiu Yayu also walked up to him in high heels.

Her thin eyebrows twisted into a line, and she continued to lecture him in a bad tone, "Xuan Yanran, you are really becoming more and more ungrateful!"

Qiu Yayu was used to teaching her adopted son a lesson, so her tone and gesture were very controlled when she spoke, as if she was disciplining a dog she had raised.

Xuan Hongwei immediately joined in, using the PUA tactics he had said to the original owner countless times, "Back then, you were abandoned on the street and no one wanted you. Your mother and I kindly picked you up and raised you to adulthood. Not to mention the grace of raising you for more than ten years, just the fact that we picked you up can be considered a life-saving grace!"

When Xuan Yihan heard what his father said, he suddenly felt confused.

Didn't his father always tell him that Xuan Yanran was adopted from an orphanage? Why did he now say that he picked her up on the street?

But no matter which situation it was, the focus now was on his parents venting their anger for him, so even though he knew there was something wrong, he didn't dwell on it or say anything, but just leaned against the wall and continued to watch the show with pitiful eyes.

Seeing that Xuan Hongwei had laid the groundwork, Qiu Yayu immediately got to the point.

She pinched her fingers and touched Lin Yanran's chest with her fingertips. "Hanhan is your brother after all. Why are you so vicious and always make things difficult for him? I know that you had resentment when you left our Xuan family, but you took the initiative to leave. We didn't force you."

When Xuan Hongwei heard his wife mention leaving home, he immediately took over the conversation, "Yes, if you have anything to say, just come to us directly. It's vicious to use these little tricks in secret. Don't really think that you can do whatever you want just because you are a mentor. Believe it or not, I will tell people tomorrow and ask you to get out of here!"

After saying that, he snorted coldly, his expression extremely superior, "Originally, your mother always missed you before, thinking that if you behaved a little in a few years, she would take you back. Now look at the horrible state you are in, I think it's better to forget it!"

After hearing this, Xuan Yihan immediately went to hold her parents' hands, "Mom and Dad, don't say that. Don't be angry with your brother. He probably didn't target me on purpose. He... just doesn't handle things very smoothly... Don't let me affect your relationship. You should just take him home."

Seeing her son being wronged but still coming to plead for others, Qiu Yayu felt both distressed and relieved, "Hanhan, you are too considerate. If he had one tenth of your understanding, he wouldn't have ended up like this today."

After praising her son, Qiu Yayu rolled her eyes at Lin Yanran with extreme disgust.

Lin Yanran was originally a little annoyed because of the instinctive reaction of the original owner's body.

As a result, the whole family sang in unison in this drama, which made him laugh.

He really hadn't encountered such a simple and crude idiot in real life for a long time.

If possible, he would like to read the original novel to see how this family was accepted by readers as the protagonists and remained invincible.

The Xuan family performed a lot, and after the performance, they all looked at Lin Yanran, waiting to see his reaction.

Facing the expectant gazes of several people, Lin Yanran nodded at them, then raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said calmly: "Okay, I understand."

Xuan Hongwei thought Lin Yanran would be scared:? ?

Qiu Yayu thought Lin Yanran would regret it:? ?

Xuan Yihan thought Lin Yanran would envy her: ???

Seeing that Lin Yanran's face did not show the expression they expected, the three of them were very surprised.

how so……

Shouldn't he care?

Without waiting for the response he wanted, Xuan Hongwei frowned deeply. He walked directly to two steps away from Lin Yanran and asked him sternly, "What's your attitude? Don't you have anything else to say?"

Talking to this group of people is really lowering your standards.

Lin Yanran was too lazy to waste words with them and wanted to turn around and leave.

However, after seeing Xuan Hongwei's face, he suddenly remembered that the original owner seemed to have transferred a sum of money to his adoptive parents before, so he looked at the couple and asked, "Did you receive the 5 million?"

This topic jumped too far, and the other party's performance did not follow the script at all, which made Xuan Hongwei and Qiu Yayu confused for a moment.

What does this have to do with five million?

A few seconds later, Xuan Hongwei, who was more sensitive to money, was the first to react to what Lin Yanran was saying, and replied in a somewhat stiff tone, "Received."

Lin Yanran's smile deepened, and she asked the other party, "Since you have received it, then we are even a long time ago. What are you still talking to me about?"

They can pua the original owner because the original owner has feelings for them.

But these people have nothing to do with me, so it would be funny to mention the grace of raising me to them.

Besides, even the original owner saw through them later and directly sent a sum of money to settle the matter. How could they have the nerve to quietly accept the money and then come to settle the account with him in a high-profile manner?

Seeing Lin Yanran's arrogant attitude, Qiu Yayu, who was already choking and feeling uncomfortable, pointed at Lin Yanran angrily, "Xuan Yanran, you..."

Lin Yanran heard the harsh name and immediately corrected the other party, "My name is Yanran, not Xuan. There is no such surname in the household registration book."

Lin Yanran's last words seemed like a clear provocation to the Xuan couple.

Seeing their last name being disdained in such a way, the two of them were so angry that their hands were shaking.

To them, this feeling is just like having a dog that never fights back or talks back when beaten or scolded, and suddenly one day the dog not only becomes disobedient, but also turns around and bites them.

Xuan Hongwei, who had never suffered any loss at the hands of his adopted son, could not tolerate the other party challenging his paternal authority like this, so he raised his hand and slapped Lin Yanran to teach him a lesson.

"You haven't improved in all these years. You only learned how to be sharp-tongued? I should have let you, a little beast, stay in there for a few more years to learn a lesson!"

Xuan Hongwei was ready to slap Lin Yanran in the face just like he did before.

However, he was stopped by someone before he could slap her halfway.

Gu Siye pinched Xuan Hongwei's wrist, his eyes full of disgust.

"Don't blame me for being rude if you touch him again."

As soon as Xuan Hongwei finished speaking, he felt a sharp pain in his wrist, as if it was about to be broken.

"Ouch, ouch, let go."

Xuan Hongwei, grimacing in pain, looked up at the young man in front of him. He originally wanted to warn him, but when he saw the other party's cold eyes, he immediately shut up.

This man gives people a strong sense of oppression.

Even though the other person is just a young man in his twenties, he has an aura that makes people dare not provoke him easily.

Xuan Yihan, who had been hiding quietly in the back watching the show, turned pale and panicked instantly when he saw Gu Siye suddenly appear here.

When did he come here? How much did he hear?

"Gu, Teacher Gu..."

Xuan Yihan, who had been looking for an opportunity to win Gu Siye's favor, immediately shouted "bad" in her heart.

When Gu Siye heard Xuan Yihan's voice, he glanced at him with disgust and let go of Xuan Hongwei.

But at this moment, his face was terribly gloomy.

"Are these your parents?"

Xuan Yihan met the other person's gaze and nodded with great difficulty.

If possible, he didn't want to admit it at all.

When I thought about how Gu Siye had witnessed their family bullying Lin Yanran...

At this moment, Xuan Yihan felt that he was the one who was slapped...

It's so embarrassing!

Xuan Yihan felt that he had no face to stay here any longer, so he quickly grabbed Xuan Hongwei's sleeve and urged him to leave.

"Let's go, let's go."

After quickly walking a short distance with her parents, Xuan Yihan mustered up the courage to turn around and look at Gu Siye behind her.

As a result, he found that the other party finally looked at him straight in the eye for the first time today.

However, his eyes were full of warning and disgust.

After Xuan Yihan and his family of three walked away, Lin Yanran thanked Gu Siye, "Thank you, Teacher Gu."

Gu Siye shook his head and turned to look at Lin Yanran's face, "Are you okay?"

He was originally planning to go to the parking lot with Lin Yanran one after the other, but he didn't expect to encounter such an embarrassing thing.

Lin Yanran shook her head and chuckled to indicate that she was completely fine.

"They are just a few clowns. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

In fact, even if Gu Siye hadn't taken action just now, he could have stopped Xuan Hongwei by himself.

Lin Yanran was telling the truth, but it didn't sound like the truth to Gu Siye who was unaware of the situation.

He walked up to Lin Yanran, reached out and gently patted his shoulder, comforting him, "They are not worth your sadness."

Lin Yanran actually didn't understand what Gu Siye meant at first.

After a while, when I thought about the scene when the trainee called, I realized that Gu Siye had mistaken the Xuan couple as his biological parents.

But he had no way to explain this to Gu Siye, so he could only go along with it.

"It's all in the past. I don't care about it anymore."

After Lin Yanran returned home, she went to the room and took out the original owner's diary.

He found this diary in an inconspicuous corner when he was cleaning his room.

But out of respect for the original owner, he had never looked through the contents.

But after today's conversation with the Xuan family of three, he realized some of the original owner's past experiences, and he must understand them.

Especially Xuan Hongwei's words, "I should have let you, a little beast, stay in there for a few more years to learn a lesson." The more Lin Yanran thought about it, the more she felt that there was something wrong with this sentence.

So Lin Yanran opened the yellowed diary and tried to find some clues from it.

This diary looked quite old and there wasn't much content in it, but the content recorded in it was shocking to Lin Yanran.

The original owner had been often beaten and scolded by his adoptive parents because they thought he had poor academic performance and was not motivated, so the couple always disliked him and thought he was a disgrace to the Xuan family, and would often starve him, lock him up in the room, and keep him indoors.

The original owner was tortured and became more and more inferior.

He once felt that it was wrong for his parents to abuse him like this, but under the PUA of the couple's upbringing, he did not resist because of the guilt.

Later, the original owner helped them bring Xuan Yihan home. After the adoptive parents suddenly discovered that they had a better biological son who was more to their liking, they became more and more disgusted with this insignificant boy and found various reasons to kick him away.

During this period, Xuan Yihan also added fuel to the flames and deliberately created many things to frame him, so that his adoptive parents disliked him even more and treated him more coldly and violently.

But the original owner longed for family and affection and didn't want to be an orphan, so he endured it all and stayed at home like a shameless beggar.

However, his reluctance to give up his family did not win the affection of his adoptive parents.

The couple used the excuse that he was addicted to games all day and not doing his job properly to send him to an Internet addiction treatment center for more than half a year.

It was not until half a year later, when he was completely disillusioned with that family and took the initiative to propose to sever ties with the Xuan family, that he was released.

Later he suffered from depression and thought about suicide countless times.

After reading the original owner's diary, Lin Yanran felt a deep pain in her heart.

He had previously felt that what the original owner did was very consistent with the character he knew.

Including voluntary and day and night entertainment signed such unequal treaties.

Even though he was slandered by his haters, he never clarified himself...

He seemed to be immersed in his own little world, completely ignoring anything in the outside world.

Now, after seeing the other person's experience, he finally understood everything.

It turns out that it wasn't that he didn't want to fight for himself.

But he was so desperate that he never thought about living a good life.
