"I don't know what you're pretending for. Let me tell you, the Xing family is already in Jiang City. There's no use in clinging to your pathetic pride. Let me tell you, if the Xing family catches you, it'll be the Xia family that loses face! Can you please stop embarrassing us?"

The disdain in the text message was clearly visible.

Xia Che thought he was mentally prepared, but he never expected that this family could be so ruthless.

When the Xing family arrived in Jiang City, their primary concern wasn't their own safety, but rather whether being captured by the Xing family would bring shame upon the Xia family.

In their eyes, is face more important than human life?

In their eyes, what exactly is he, the so-called eldest son of the Xia family?

It doesn't matter if we die, as long as we don't bring shame to the Xia family, right?

"Idiot."

Xia Che cursed angrily and blocked the phone number.

He didn't even feel like yelling back.

This is the Xia family.

The Xia family, admired by the world.

They are not even as humane as the Yan Yun Gang.

He didn't even care about his own life or death; all he cared about was the reputation of the Xia family.

"call……"

Xia Che let out a deep breath, took out the cigarette case from his pocket again, took out a cigarette and lit it.

He wasn't really addicted to smoking; he was just maintaining a habit from his previous life.

Therefore, since his soul transmigrated into this world, Xia Che has rarely encountered troubles that require smoking two cigarettes to calm down.

But we have it today.

The wisps of smoke, illuminated by the dim yellow light of the streetlights, appeared even more hazy.

...

Beautiful Country, New York.

As a world-renowned modern metropolis, all of New York's buildings exude a sense of avant-garde design, and even the air is filled with an atmosphere of extravagance and decadence.

This is a modern city.

But as a result, the gap between the rich and the poor has become even more pronounced.

The lights in the affluent area are always on, and the bustling traffic makes it look like paradise.

The slums are sparsely lit, appearing like scattered stars from a distance.

The night is like an invisible bond that runs through New York, clearly and distinctly separating the rich and poor.

At this moment, in a villa in an affluent area, in a pink and delicate room.

"Smack!"

A cell phone was suddenly thrown to the floor, followed by a small foot in white stockings stomping on it repeatedly. Still not satisfied, the foot picked up the pink teddy bear on the bed and smashed it hard onto the phone.

"Idiot! Idiot, idiot, idiot! You moron!!!"

A long-haired girl with the same golden hair as Xia Che was now performing a ritual, shouting something in her small mouth, her long golden hair flying wildly, like an angry lioness.

To be fair, the girl's features were quite delicate.

If Shen Yanxin is the epitome of beauty, Jiang Yu's eyes are the epitome of beauty, and Chu Yuying is the epitome of playfulness and cuteness, then she possesses all sorts of advantages at the same time. However, despite having so many advantages, she doesn't quite reach the same level of perfection as the three female leads in any one aspect.

But in terms of looks, they are equally matched.

"Xia Che, you're a complete idiot, you know that?!"

The angry lioness was Xia Che's younger sister, Xia Yuxin, whom he had treated like an ingrate.

After howling for a while, Xia Yuxin was exhausted. She plopped down on the bed, her long golden hair hanging down, covering half of her face, making her look somewhat haggard.

The room fell silent.

"……Fool."

After a long pause, Xia Yuxin uttered two words softly.

Neither of them, brother and sister, like to speak their minds directly. They prefer to keep everything bottled up inside and then reveal various unintentional little flaws in an attempt to let the other person discover them.

"This deadbeat has been going against me since we were kids, and he's still doing it now that we're all grown up. Can't he at least try to be understanding?"

Xia Yuxin felt more and more aggrieved. She bent her knees, buried her head in her arms, and rubbed against them in a wronged manner.

In fact, there was a situation that Xia Che and the original owner of the body both misunderstood.

Xia Yuxin, she...

Actually, he's a brother-obsessed person.

However, when they were very young, during an ordinary game of house, when Xia Yuxin and Xia Che were playing with other children in the neighborhood, someone asked Xia Che why he always had to be with his sister no matter what he did, and whether he had feelings for her.

Out of pride for being the king of the kids, Xia Che deliberately put on a stern face and said that he actually hated girls who clung to him the most. He preferred a cool and aloof girl like Xiao Lin, who would be nice if she didn't pay any attention to him.

Xiaolin was their playmate, and they both knew each other. When she heard Xia Che say that, she snorted disdainfully and continued building blocks with Xiaopang, ignoring Xia Che.

Xia Che wanted to play with Xiao Lin's building blocks, so he shamelessly went over to her again. His previous words were also to please Xiao Lin and get her to let him play with the building blocks.

The adults watching from the sidelines simply took it as a childish joke between children and laughed it off.

Everyone present was in harmony.

Only Xia Yuxin broke down.

His eyes widened in disbelief as he stared blankly at Xia Che.

Does my brother like aloof girls?

Do you also like people who are indifferent to him?

damn it……

How could the older brother I like be a simp?

Xia Yuxin has completely broken down.

Quite thorough.

Before this, she had always thought that Xia Che's type was someone who was clingy to him.

Young Xia Yuxin didn't know what to do. She turned her head and saw Xia Che following behind Xiao Lin, his fawning expression practically sticking out his tongue.

So she pouted and cried.

She cried a lot that day.

Even when her mother gave her her favorite ice cream cake, she couldn't stop crying.

Xia Yuxin cried all night. The next day, with red and swollen eyes, she vowed that from today onwards, her persona would change.

She also wanted to become a cool and aloof woman like Xiaolin.

Then win back your brother's heart.

The change in her persona was remarkably smooth, and Xia Yuxin gradually gained popularity because of it, especially during her adolescence when her perfect and delicate features became more prominent, leading to an increasing number of people pursuing her.

But in Xia Yuxin's heart, she still preferred her brother, who was a bit of a rascal at times, but most of the time could provide her with a solid support.

But in order to win her brother's heart, Xia Yuxin forced herself to harden her heart and tried her best to ignore Xia Che.

So, when Xia Che took care of her with the same enthusiasm as usual, Xia Yuxin tried her best to keep a straight face and began to mock his concern.

Up to this point, Xia Yuxin felt that her newly chosen path was quite successful.

It's only a matter of time before I win back my brother's heart.

Later, as Xia Yuxin grew up, she discovered that the distance between herself and her brother was growing wider and wider, which terrified her.
