Pei Siyu's expression was unfriendly, and he seemed to be in a bad mood.

Mingyao was about to say a few words of comfort when a sharp pain shot through her finger.

She hissed in shock and discovered that her finger had been cut.

Just as Mingyao was about to wash it with water, Pei Siyu grabbed her wrist.

Are you an idiot?

He gripped her wrist with such force that he nearly crushed it.

Mingyao gasped in pain, her voice choked with emotion.

"It was an accident, don't be angry."

"It's just a minor wound, a little water will do the trick."

If you leave the wound on your hand to heal on its own for a while, it will heal itself.

Just as Mingyao was annoyed by Pei Siyu's overreaction, he suddenly put his injured finger in his mouth and began...

My fingers were enveloped in warmth, and as he sucked on them, it felt as if an electric current was coursing through my body.

Mingyao's cheeks flushed red, and her body became burning hot.

She stared at Pei Siyu, her mind going completely blank.

"What are you doing?!"

Mingyao blushed and pulled her hand back, looking at Pei Siyu in a panic.

She always washes her wounds with water, disinfects them, and then puts on a band-aid. How could Pei Siyu put something like that in his mouth...?

Pei Siyu grabbed Mingyao's wrist again, his hawk-like eyes fixed on Mingyao's panicked gaze, and asked, "Do you hate me?"

Mingyao's heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was about to jump out of her constricted chest.

"What does this have to do with disliking you?"

His lips were pressed into a thin line, and the heat in his eyes almost melted Mingyao.

"How...how could I hate you?"

"Just don't do that again."

Mingyao pushed Pei Siyu away and immediately rushed out of the kitchen.

This is insane! Why would he suddenly do this?!

The image of Pei Siyu sucking her fingers kept replaying in her mind, and Mingyao's cheeks became even hotter.

"Xiaoxue".

Grandpa Su's voice suddenly came from behind.

The deep, weathered voice was like a bucket of cold water poured down on Mingyao's head from above.

She was startled, but after regaining her composure, she looked timidly at the old man who had suddenly appeared behind her.

"grandfather."

The old man's eyes were like deep, ancient wells, and he could not see any emotion in Mingyao's eyes.

"I have something to tell you."

Upon arriving at the old man's study, Mingyao looked terrified.

Just then, the nanny brought over some tea.

Mingyao respectfully poured a cup of tea for the old man, then stood obediently.

Grandpa Su stared at Mingyao for a long time, seemingly sighing and feeling sentimental.

"You and your sister are becoming more and more alike."

A chill ran through Mingyao's feet, and her heart tightened. She pretended to be calm as she looked at Old Master Su.

"Grandpa, my sister and I are twins, so it's only natural that we look alike, isn't it?"

The old man shook his head and took out a group photo from the drawer.

The photo shows Mingyao and Su Xueya, both wearing high school uniforms, looking youthful and innocent.

Looking at the two smiling girls in the photo, a smile appeared on his aged face.

When Mingyao saw the photo, her heart skipped a beat.

This is the only photo of her and Su Xueya. Shortly after this photo was taken, Su Xueya became a different person.

Unexpectedly, Grandpa Su had this photo. It seems that Chao Muxue also saw the photo of her and Su Xueya in Grandpa Su's possession.

"I never imagined that my grandfather had kept photos of me and my sister all this time."

Grandpa Su cared about her and Su Xueya more than she had imagined.

This is the first time they have returned in over twenty years.

Thinking of her past life, Mingyao felt a pang of sorrow.

In her previous life, she had no connection with the Su family. After Ming Suqin died, she thought that no one in the world would care about her anymore.

Who would have thought that the Su family had always been thinking about the sisters?

"When your sister came, I thought it was you who came back."

“I always thought I could tell you two sisters apart.”

The old man laughed self-deprecatingly, but Mingyao's eyes welled up with tears.

She desperately wanted to tell her grandfather that she hadn't admitted her mistake.

Is she really my younger sister?

Mingyao suppressed the mixed feelings in her heart and smiled: "Grandpa, it's all our fault for being unfilial. We haven't come back even once in all these years."

"It's not your fault, sisters."

Old Master Su's face turned colder: "It's all that unfilial son's fault!"

“They’re deliberately hiding you sisters from us, not letting us see you.”

"Why."

He sighed heavily and said seriously, "Let's not talk about the past."

"Your grandmother and I have always felt guilty towards your mother."

“Back then, we didn’t think much of her, but we never expected that she wouldn’t even step into the industry once in all these years.”

"Your grandma and I both knew that your mother gave up everything to marry your father, but we never expected him to..."

The old man's eyes flashed with anger: "I never expected him to be such a scoundrel."

"Xiaoxue, I heard that you were forced to marry Pei Siyu at the beginning."

The old man spoke like an elder, saying, "Pei Siyu is a good boy. As long as you live a good life with him, you will definitely be happy."

"I know what your father's intentions are in marrying you off to Pei Siyu. Don't be fooled by him."

“Your father is a scoundrel; he can’t be a burden to you and your sister.”

"Even if you don't listen to him, it doesn't mean you're unfilial."

The old man's earnest advice only made Mingyao feel more and more bitter.

It turns out he knew everything; he had been paying attention to her and Su Xueya all along.

"Grandpa did have some prejudice against you before, but when he actually met you, he found that you are a good child."

“Live your life well from now on. If your father bullies you, tell me and your grandma, and we will stand up for you.”

Mingyao nodded with tears in her eyes and said sweetly, "Thank you, Grandpa!"

"come over."

The old man smiled kindly, which was quite different from his serious image.

Mingyao walked to the old man's side, and the old man smiled and took out a gold bracelet, putting it on Mingyao's wrist.

"One for you and one for your sister."

"This is Grandpa's way of showing his love for you. If he had just paid more attention to your mother all these years, things wouldn't have come to this..."

When Ming Suqin was mentioned, the old man's expression became more solemn.

"I heard from Xiao Chao that your mother is sick, and very sick."

"When we have some free time in a while, your grandma and I will go to see your mother."

Mingyao's eyes suddenly lit up. If the old man and grandmother went to see her mother together, they would definitely find a way to get Ming Suqin a better medical environment.

Perhaps this opportunity can also help Ming Suqin escape Su Qiqiang's control.

Mingyao felt she saw a glimmer of hope.

She has been stuck on the issue of rescuing Ming Suqin for a long time.

Su Qiqiang is too wary; even now, she still doesn't know where he hid Ming Suqin.

After returning this time, she needs to find a way to visit Ming Suqin again and find out where she is hiding.

As Mingyao left the study and passed through the living room, she heard Su Xueya sobbing.

"Auntie, please don't blame my sister. She didn't mean it."
