She lowered her eyes and looked at the row of shopping bags on the ground. These were all the things Mo Yin bought for her. When Xiang Wan Ning looked at an item for more than five seconds, the cashier would hand it to her with a smile at the sixth second.
This was the first time Xiang Wanning received kindness from a female elder.
That kind of ardent care seemed to make her blood boil, and her heart in her chest beat violently, giving her the illusion that "I still seem to be loved."
Xiang Wan Ning raised her head and saw the fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. She racked her brains and thought for a long time before she could barely find a relatively interesting fragment from her dark and blurred memories.
"Because I was stunted and too thin, I was always bullied when I was a child." She laughed as she recounted her childhood experiences, without any fear or uneasiness on her face as she recalled the scenes back then: "I was often beaten by them, and my body was covered in blood. Until one day I met a very powerful big brother, and we became sworn brothers on the spot, and he helped me get revenge."
Mo Yin's heart trembled when he heard this. He didn't know what to say. He frowned and a look of heartache suddenly appeared on his face.
She touched Xiang Wanning's head and comforted him, "That's their problem, not your fault."
Xiang Wan Ning nodded obediently: "Yeah, I know."
[After I found out that I could teach them a lesson myself, I took revenge on the spot]
Mo Yin thought of the live broadcast of the pilot episode of "The Journey of Love". She was very skilled in the live broadcast, so she thought that it was her elder brother who taught her kung fu. She asked curiously, "How did that elder brother help you get revenge?"
[Speaking of this, it’s a bit cruel, and the means are not very clean]
[Mo Yin is a famous pianist. She is so gentle and fragile, she definitely cannot bear to hear this.]
Xiang Wan Ning seemed to care a lot about her opinion. Mo Yin thought so with a gentle expression.
She wanted Xiang Wan Ning not to be afraid. No matter how bloody the method she used, in Mo Yin's eyes, it was just a reasonable counterattack by a child who was forced into a corner. If those children hadn't bullied Wan Ning, how could this have happened?
What's more, Mo Yin thought that the means in the business world were not clean. The Xiang family was able to sit at the top position of the wealthy family, and she would not be a white flower who knew nothing.
So after preparing herself mentally, Mo Yin said, "Just talk to mom and don't worry about other things."
Xiang Wanning hesitated: "What if I do something really bad?"
To be honest, Mo Yin didn't believe it when she heard this. She knew that Xiang Wanning was kind-hearted and would never do anything out of line. The "very bad" she said would never threaten the other person's life.
She patted the other person's shoulder again, signaling her to speak boldly, and even took the lead herself: "Then tell me about the big brother you recognized first?"
"After he helped me get revenge, he was chased and beaten by the parents of those kids. I secretly helped him escape, and I didn't know where he went after that." Xiang Wanning confessed honestly.
Mo Yin's heart skipped a beat: "Who is this big brother of yours?"
Could it be a criminal on the run?
Would it affect her if Wan Ning helped her? Just as Mo Yin was beginning to wonder whether Xiang Wan Ning's past belonged to this world, whether she could help him, and whether she should send someone to investigate, she suddenly heard Xiang Wan Ning's excited voice ringing in her ears:
[It's a big black dog that strays on the street. It's very fierce and even the hooligans on the street are afraid of it! ]
[I stole money from home and bought him some sausages, so he helped me get revenge by chasing after the kids and biting them, scaring them so much that they hid in the trees and didn’t dare to come down!]
[After the big black dog left, they cursed at me and threw branches at me. I slipped and fell down. There was a manure pit below. Hahahaha! ]
Mo Yin: ...Ah?
The dirty tricks you mentioned are these? She looked up blankly.
Just now, images of swords, bloody violence flashed through her mind. Mo Yin's heart was in her throat. She began to think, "She was chased and beaten by the child's parents," "How cruel must her eldest brother be," "I have to find a way to help her"... All these thoughts came to an abrupt end when she heard that her eldest brother was a dog.
Mo Yin first felt relieved, but then felt a subtle regret for not being able to help.
She couldn't help but ask again: "Tell me in detail."
* When Xiang Wanning finished talking about the last interesting little thing, she was almost scratching her head in the car, and finally saw the miniature of the Xiang family villa! Xiang Wanning's eyes lit up, and she breathed a sigh of relief. It was the first time she saw the villa so intimate! Mo Yin next to her was still thinking about the little things she just told, which were all Xiang Wanning could remember. Including but not limited to "I was the worst English student in elementary school but became the representative of the English class", "I was called to be a cheerleader and was hit by the ball on the court", "I participated in the math competition but handed in a blank paper"... She even took out her mobile phone and posted it in the "Happy Family" group, laughing so hard that she couldn't stop.
Xiang Wanning felt a little regretful and embarrassed. After just an hour's drive, she felt that her underwear had been stripped off by Mo Yin. She wanted to get out of the car and run down the road.
After finally getting off the car and entering the house, she heard a sudden soft sound in her ears. Xiang Wanning raised her head and saw countless ribbons fluttering in the wind and falling on her head.
Her vision was blocked, and through the ribbons she saw Xiang Chisong holding up a fireworks stick and saying to her, "Welcome our English class representative, cheerleader, distinguished superstar, little princess of the family...come home in glory!"
Xiang Wanning: ...
She screamed in fear inside.
[Shut up!!!]
[My toes are clenched! ! ]
Xiang Wanning didn't even have time to change her shoes, she pounced on him directly, and tried to cover his mouth with a red face.
But she was not as tall as the other person and could not reach him at all.
Xiang Chisong saw her struggling and said to her, "Call me brother and I won't say anything."
So Xiang Wanning said, "Brother Chisong."
"Not this kind, Wan Ning." Xiang Chisong raised the firework stick higher, teasing her like a disobedient cat, but his expression was serious, as if the word "brother" that was about to come out of her mouth contained a major contract worth hundreds of millions of yuan for him: "I'm talking about the name between relatives, the 'brother' that you recognize in your heart."
He reached out and tapped her head, somewhat intimately, as if expecting her answer.
When Xiang Wanning understood what he wanted to express, her body froze instantly.
This was actually the name she had always wanted to avoid.
This kind of intimate name can easily make her brain confused and emotional. Xiang Wanning is afraid that she will really develop emotional ties with them in the process of completing the task, so she has been brainwashing herself: she must keep a distance from them, she is not the real Xiang Wanning, not to mention that she will be hurt by them in future plots.
When a person doesn't care, the hurt she suffers is bearable.
[Even though I don’t quite understand the current plot development, I know that my destined ending is to be abandoned by all of you]
So Xiang Wanning smiled and refused, pretending to be dumb and said, "Brother Chisong, I don't understand what you mean."
Xiang Chisong heard the inner voice and felt a little regretful.
But he knew that this kind of thing could not be forced, so he had to promise her: "Okay, okay, I won't say it anymore."
When Xiang Wanning ran upstairs to change her clothes, the others in the living room talked about Xiang Wanning. Mo Yin was the first to express his feelings: "I used to agree with what Zhinian said. After knowing the truth, I felt that Wanning might just be a tasker. There is no need to spend more time on her. Just wait for her to complete the task and leave."
"But after spending so many days together, I suddenly felt that I could have another daughter." She said: "Wan Ning is also a lovely child. She worked hard to come to our house to do the task, and we should not let her down."
Xiang Chisong was the first to agree. His previous hesitation and entanglement had already softened under Xiang Wanning's concern and care: "I have wanted to say this for a long time. Doesn't this mean Wutong has another sister? When the real Wanning comes back, I will have three sisters. Tell others about it and they will be envious!"
Grandpa Xiang drank tea, stroked his beard, and asked Xiang Zhinian who was participating in the meeting remotely with a smile: "What do you think, Zhinian?"
She was also feeling bad after knowing the truth before, and Grandpa Xiang was afraid that Xiang Zhinian had not yet recovered, so he also wanted to hear her thoughts.
Xiang Zhinian blinked at the screen. She was still wearing her costume and confessed her inner journey very sincerely: "In fact, when I first knew her identity, it was hard for me to accept it. I thought that although I have no blood relationship with my parents, I have at least been raised for twenty years. What right did this tasker have?"
"She took over Xiang Wanning's body, received the love that belonged to her, did not experience her pain, but directly enjoyed her life? How could such a good thing happen in the world!"
"But when I was with her, I saw another side of her. She was resilient, optimistic, kind-hearted, and very nice to us... And if you read her script, she didn't know that we could hear her inner voice. When she chose to become Xiang Wanning and live out her life, wasn't she also living her own life? Since she has to bear all that pain, why can't we, who know the truth, help her?"
Xiang Zhinian paused and said, "I don't know when she came into this world. If she became Xiang Wanning since she was a child, then how can she not be the real Xiang Wanning? If she leaves and the real Xiang Wanning comes back but doesn't treat us sincerely, will we treat her well just because of our kinship?"
Hearing this, everyone fell silent.
In the slightly heavy atmosphere, the doorbell suddenly rang.
"Okay, it seems that everyone has reached an agreement." Xiang Tingye finally said with a smile, "Chi Song, go open the door."
…
When the agent and the live broadcast team walked into the living room, they were stunned by the scene in front of them: the floor and the sofa were covered with ribbons, as if a carnival had just taken place here.
The servants began to clean up in an orderly manner. The agent cautiously asked Xiang Chisong who came to open the door: "Are we here at the wrong time?"
"No, we were just welcoming Wan Ning home." Xiang Chisong waved his hand: "She is on the second floor now, you can follow the servants upstairs."
After saying this, he watched the other side's huge group of people go up to the second floor.
Xiang Chisong paced back to the sofa and said before the small meeting was over: "Mom just said a lot about Wan Ning in the group. I think the problem now becomes another one... How can we make Wan Ning accept us?"
When Mo Yin heard this question, he thought of Xiang Wan Ning's not-so-good past. Even if she said it with a smile, it was all bloody memories. She said with some pity, "She is a very pitiful child. I don't know if we can heal her past wounds."
"Sure." Xiang Zhinian heard the director calling her, so she hurriedly said, "Give her lots of love, let her know that no matter what happens, we will be with her."
Nodding to Chisong: "That makes sense."
He put his work aside temporarily and asked the servant to cut a plate of fruit for him, preparing to take it upstairs to comfort Xiang Wanning.
——
After the news of Xiang Wanning's live broadcast on the Cherry platform was released, many netizens and passers-by who were watching the show rushed over, saw the other person's enlarged face appear in front of the camera, and whispered with the staff next to them.
"Can I walk around the house later?"
"No, I can only broadcast live in my room. It's not convenient to do it in other places."
Netizens' eyes lit up when they heard this:
[Look what I heard. I can only live stream in my room. This can’t be because I have a good relationship with my family! ]
[That's right, isn't it convenient in her own home? Could it be that they set a certain area for her? Tsk, is there a forbidden area in her own home? ]
[Where are Xiang Wanning's fans? Why don't they come out to speak up for their sister? ]
[If she is not favored, then she is not favored. After all, she is the daughter of the Xiang family. What do you, a bunch of netizens who only know how to criticize, have? ]
The agent frowned when he heard Xiang Wanning's decisive refusal. Before he had time to read the comments and was about to say to Xiang Wanning, "But your mother agreed," he heard a very rhythmic knocking sound coming from the door.
"Are you there, sister?"
As soon as Xiang Chisong finished speaking, Xiang Wanning, who had just been frightened by his tricks, subconsciously said, "Not here."
After he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong and was about to say something nice, but the words "Brother Chisong" got stuck in his throat and before he could finish speaking, he heard the other party sigh.
"Okay." He said, and then sang in a rhythmic tone: "Then is our English class representative, cheerleader, distinguished star, and little princess of the family in there? Can you open the door for me?"
Xiang Wanning: ...
She held her head in pain and called out the other person's full name, having lost her mind: "Xiang Chisong! I'm live streaming!"
"I'm going to fight you!"
