Upon seeing this, Su Xiaoxiao could no longer hold back her tears. The brother who had vowed to protect her and pamper her for life had actually broken his solemn vow never to return for her sake.
This person is Shan Jinxi!
Su Xiaoxiao met him when she was only ten years old. At that time, the Shan family was celebrating Old Master Shan's 70th birthday, and she went with her grandfather to attend.
The banquet was very lively, but she felt it was too stuffy and wanted to go outside for some fresh air.
When she saw a boy standing alone in the courtyard, she mustered her courage and went over, gently tugging at his arm with her small hand, and asked softly, "Big brother, why are you standing here all alone?"
As soon as Su Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she noticed that Shan Jinxi's eyes were filled with tears. She hugged him with her small body without any shyness and comforted him softly, "Big brother, don't be sad. Xiaoxiao will stay with you. Anyway, I don't like staying in there, but Grandpa said I can't be rude, so I stayed for a while before sneaking out."
"You're so small."
Sixteen-year-old Shan Jinxi frowned immediately when he saw Su Xiaoxiao, who only reached his chest.
"I'm only ten years old now. When I'm the same age as you, I'll definitely be taller than you."
Su Xiaoxiao put her hands on her hips, pouted angrily, and stomped her foot on the ground. But when she saw the tears welling up in Shan Jinxi's eyes, her heart softened. As she grabbed his arm, she said with a reluctant expression, "This young lady will forgive your rudeness, even if it's a petty offense."
Dan Jinxi was slightly taken aback. Looking into Su Xiaoxiao's overly clear eyes, he dared not reveal his sorrow in front of her.
Later, the two children, one big and one small, sat in the courtyard and chatted for a long time, but Su Xiaoxiao did not understand what Shan Jinxi meant. She fell asleep on his lap without realizing it.
After that day, the two became very good friends.
As she grew older, Su Xiaoxiao became dependent on Shan Jinxi.
However, when Shan Jinxi had a falling out with his family at the age of seventeen and decided to leave the Shan family, Su Xiaoxiao hid in her bedroom and cried for a long time.
It was at that time that Su Xiangming learned about this relationship between the two.
Grandpa asked her if she wanted to be Shan Jinxi's bride when she grew up, but Su Xiaoxiao shook her head and said seriously, "Brother Jin is Brother Jin, how can I be his bride? Xiaoxiao will always be Brother Jin's sister, and Brother Jin said he will protect Xiaoxiao, his sister, for the rest of his life."
Su Xiangming knew his granddaughter's personality very well. Seeing how much Su Xiaoxiao liked Shan Jinxi, he gave Shan Jinxi a sum of money in his granddaughter's name when she resolutely decided to leave the Shan family.
Later, Shan Jinxi repaid the money tenfold and transferred it to Su Xiaoxiao's private account on her eighteenth birthday.
Since then, Shan Jinxi's doting on Su Xiaoxiao has become unstoppable. He will give her anything she wants, no matter how difficult it is; and he will not get close to anyone she dislikes.
In his heart, Su Xiaoxiao was far more important than his own life.
...
After reading these emails, Su Xiaoxiao was already crying uncontrollably.
Su Xiangming did not disclose her relationship with Shan Jinxi to the public; even Su Taihong and Lin Wanhui were unaware of it.
Su Xiaoxiao would go to France for a fixed period of time every year, and her grandfather would not tell anyone where she was going. Shan Jinxi protected her completely.
