Xiao He Xiao, who lost his mother, is very sensitive to the word 'mother'.
If anyone dares to think of replacing his mother, he will immediately transform into a little lion and fiercely sweep them out the door.
Jiang Yanxin fell for him back then.
Overwhelmed by rage, Xiao He Xiao threw the bowl—which didn't seem to contain any medicine—at her head and roared at her to get out.
Jiang Yanxin was hit squarely on the forehead, and blood immediately rolled out. Perhaps she deliberately wanted to provoke He Xiao and then play the innocent little white flower.
After He Liyu arrived, he first had someone treat her wounds and then asked about the reason. However, no one stood up to testify for Xiao Hexiao. After He Liyu remained silent, he asked Xiao Hexiao to apologize first.
Xiao He Xiao was very stubborn. He felt that even his only relative did not trust him, which made him feel wronged and angry. This led to a feud between the father and son.
Afterwards, He Liyu moved house, dismissed all the servants at home, and found a trustworthy person at the He family's old house to help take care of He Xiao.
"So you've held a grudge against your father ever since because of this?" Shen Linyue pondered.
She was touched and gratified that Xiao Hexiao had never given up on her future, but she also felt sorry for Xiao Hexiao's plight. Jiang Yanxin was simply unreasonable; she actually used despicable means to deal with a minor. She was utterly shameless.
He Xiao glanced at her, pursed his lips for a long time before saying, "Not entirely."
Perhaps fearing she would continue to press him about this matter, He Xiao continued, "Back then, because I hurt Jiang Zhixing's mother, Jiang Zhixing chased after me like a mad dog. Oh, I didn't tolerate him either. He wasn't as strong as me, so I beat him up back then."
As if recalling something wonderful, a pleasant smile appeared on his lips.
Shen Linyue remained silent for a moment. Jiang Zhixing completely overwhelmed He Xiao in every aspect except for martial arts, but she didn't go so far as to say something to spoil his mood.
“Our Ah Xiao has been amazing since he was a child.” She smiled.
I remembered the chubby, childish little Ah Xiao from my last dream. He was so cute. I really wanted to go through the dream and pinch and rub him. He must feel so good.
When He Xiao glanced at her, he saw her smiling kindly, and for some reason, he got goosebumps.
"What were you doing back then?" He Xiao asked in silence, steer the conversation toward her.
Shen Linyue was stunned for a moment, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes, but she quickly came to her senses.
“Oh, I was playing the role of a princess back then. My dad was my servant, and my mom was the queen. We greeted her every day.”
He Xiao: "..."
The boy's eye twitched, and after a long pause, he managed to say, "You had quite a colorful childhood, huh..."
Shen Linyue glanced at him indifferently. For some reason, He Xiao saw a trace of sadness and nostalgia in her eyes. He frowned and changed the subject.
“Jiang Yanxin has indeed not given up and has been targeting us. I don’t know what she’s still pursuing at her age.” His eyes were full of disgust. “Jiang Zhixing is just something she’s using to cover up her true intentions.”
Shen Linyue snapped out of her thoughts and looked at him in surprise: "I have to say, you can be quite quick-witted at times."
"...I'm just usually too lazy to use my brain, not that my brain is rusty. Thank you." He smiled slightly.
"Oh, then you should use your brain more in the future and continue to analyze." Shen Linyue looked at him encouragingly.
He Xiao: "..."
...
When Shen Linyue returned home in the evening, she heard a very polite knock on the door after washing up.
She opened the door and saw He Liyu standing outside. A smile appeared on her face: "What's wrong?"
He Liyu looked down at the girl. Perhaps because she had just taken a bath, there was still a blush on her pretty face. When she smiled, she looked like a flower, making people's hearts flutter.
He looked away but then his gaze fell on her wet hair, and he frowned: "Go back quickly, be careful not to catch a cold from the wind."
Shen Linyue was slightly taken aback, then smiled gently: "I didn't realize President He had started taking care of his health?"
He Liyu paused, then looked at her again with unfathomable eyes, and said in a low voice, "You're the one who told me that."
Shen Linyue: "..."
Her heart began to pound uncontrollably again. She bit her lip lightly, her big eyes wet with tears, looking helpless and pitiful.
He Liyu also fell silent, regretting that he shouldn't have said those things to the little girl. It would frighten her; she wasn't his Ayue yet.
"Sorry, I'm just here to deliver some research data to you." His tone was calm and firm, and his eyelashes lowered slightly as he regained his aloof and distant demeanor.
It makes you feel like you're so close to him, yet he's also as far away as an insurmountable chasm, untouchable.
Shen Linyue paused for a moment, feeling a little disappointed. She didn't quite understand what was wrong with her.
Looking at the documents he handed her, she finally shifted her attention: "What's this?"
"Didn't you want to know Xie Lin's information last time? This is what I found out by a private investigator." He thought for a moment and then added, "I haven't looked at it yet."
Shen Linyue looked blank for a moment, then quickly smiled and asked, "Then, Mr. He, will you watch it with me?"
He Liyu almost nodded, but reason made him shake his head: "No need, get some rest after you finish reading. You can ask me if you don't understand anything."
Shen Linyue felt a little regretful but didn't insist. She gazed at the man in front of her for a few seconds and then said softly, "Thank you, He Liyu."
He treated her very well, always granting her every request; perhaps this was all thanks to her future self.
The man's eyelids trembled slightly, and when he looked up, only a gentle smile remained in his eyes. "You're welcome."
...
The investigation documents detailed Xie Lin's life trajectory from childhood to adulthood.
He was the second son of the Xie family. He was born with poor health, and the Xie family spoiled him. However, he was different from ordinary good-for-nothing second-generation rich kids. He always followed the eldest son of the Xie family to learn how to manage the company, and he was happy to be just a vice president.
He is a very low-key, calm and reserved person, and a very good person.
Until the marriage between the Jiang and Xie families, this matter should have been handled by the eldest son of the Xie family, who was the true head of the family. However, Xie Lin took the initiative to marry into the Jiang family in order to fulfill his eldest son's love.
The couple had a son the following year.
Three years before his death, he began frequenting bars and was even photographed arguing with Jiang Yanxin on the street.
The Xie family suppressed the matter at the time, and the two parted on bad terms. Xie Lin's health deteriorated, and he frequently had to go to the hospital.
Until his death.
The Xie family's company began to decline in the second year, and in the third year, all members of the Xie family went abroad and never returned.
He couldn't access his medical report, so Shen Linyue read through the investigation report again and again.
The clock struck 11:30, and the alarm clock woke her up with a start.
Xie Lin and Jiang Yanxin's marriage is in trouble. Is Jiang Yanxin having an affair?
She felt it wasn't impossible; if they could have a child in the second year of their marriage, they must really love each other.
Then I remembered that Xie Lin seemed to have passed away the year after I died.
The inspiration flashed by in an instant, so fast that Shen Linyue couldn't catch it.
She thought about it for a long time and wondered if she could use Shen Linyue's identity to take a look at Jiang Yanxin?
