The Xia family.
When the first month of summer arrives, the sun has just risen to mid-sky.
As soon as she got off the bus, she ran into someone she never expected.
Xia Yao's biological son, Xia Chuyue's blood-related older brother—
Xia Chen.
Xia Chen was dressed casually in a white shirt, perhaps because he felt hot, with his jacket draped over his arm. He leaned against the car, looking down at his phone.
A sliver of sunlight fell on his profile, revealing his long eyelashes and light, glassy eyes.
Hearing a sound behind him, Xia Chen turned around and saw Xia Chuyue. A smile suddenly appeared in his cold eyes.
"Chu Yue."
His voice had a cool, clear quality, like shattered jade beads falling, making one's ears itch slightly.
Xia Chuyue had never met Xia Chen before.
When she first met the Xia family, Xia Chen was away filming his movie and spent more than half a year in the deep mountains and forests.
This was the first time the brother and sister had met.
But with just one glance, Xia Chuyue guessed Xia Chen's identity.
The reason is simple: the two look remarkably alike.
Standing still, Xia Chuyue didn't know how to address Xia Chen and hesitated without answering.
Xia Chen, with a smile in his eyes, said to her:
"Just call me brother, this is a gift for us when we meet."
Xia Chen handed the bag he had been carrying to Xia Chuyue.
"I specifically asked the girls in the crew, and they said that giving a bag as a gift is the least likely to go wrong. Do you think it's something you like?"
Xia Chuyue never expected that this brother she had never met would prepare a gift for her.
Startled for a moment, Xia Chuyue didn't refuse and took it.
This bag is a classic design from a luxury brand, and it's not expensive, only seven figures.
Xia Chuyue fell in love with this understated yet luxurious seven-figure bag at first sight.
Seeing that Xia Chuyue's eyes were slightly bright, Xia Chen knew that he had made the right choice, and a smile appeared on his lips.
“My mother called me before and talked about you. I was wondering what my biological sister would look like, and whether she would look completely different from me.”
"But now, I don't have to worry anymore."
That's true. Xia Chen's temperament is strangely similar to Xia Chuyue's.
Both of them had light amber eyes with somewhat sharp features, but Xia Chen was more handsome and Xia Chuyue was more refined.
Although the two never lived together, they shared a similar aloof and indifferent temperament.
If we went out, no one would believe we weren't siblings.
Xia Chuyue found this older brother very interesting and couldn't help but smile.
[This is my brother, Xia Chen? That famous, genius director in the industry?]
Xia Chen, who was about to step into the house, suddenly heard Xia Chuyue's voice, and his eyes flickered slightly.
However, he quickly lowered his eyes, revealing no expression.
The two walked into the house one after the other.
Just as she reached the doorway, before Xia Chuyue could even look up any gossip about her brother Xia Chen, she heard Xia Xinxin's coquettish voice.
"Brother! Why didn't you bring me a gift this time? Have you been filming all this time and forgotten about me?!"
Xia Xinxin skipped over, pouting and looking unhappy.
When she saw Xia Chuyue, she deliberately ran over to her, trying to take Xia Chen's hand to show off her status.
So what if Xia Chuyue is back?
She had lived in this house for over twenty years, and it bore her mark everywhere. How could she be so easily replaced by Xia Chuyue?
The sibling relationship between her and Xia Chen over the years is something Xia Chuyue simply cannot interfere with!
Xia Chen only glanced at Xia Xinxin before raising his hand to avoid her.
Xia Xinxin missed her target, her eyes widened slightly, and she looked up at Xia Chen in disbelief.
"Brother? What's wrong?"
Xia Chen felt annoyed by Xia Xinxin's nickname, pinched the bridge of his nose, and sighed.
"You don't need to call me that yet. We'll talk about it when Mom comes back."
The matter of the Xia family's real and fake heiresses is currently in complete chaos.
Xia Chen wasn't sure how Xia Yao ultimately wanted to handle things, but since Xia Xinxin wasn't related to him by blood and men and women were different, he naturally had to maintain a proper distance.
Xia Xinxin looked quite dejected when she heard Xia Chen say that.
She couldn't accept that her brother, who had always been so obedient to her, treated her like this. Her heart ached slightly, and a hint of resentment appeared in her eyes.
"Why? Aren't I your sister?"
Xia Xinxin has a round face, and she always likes to raise the pitch at the end of her sentences, giving the impression that she is always being coquettish.
Her gaze towards Xia Chen was filled with tears, and she looked utterly aggrieved.
Before Xia Chuyue arrived, Xia Chen, her older brother, was very tolerant of her!
It's all Xia Chuyue's fault!
Not only did they steal her identity as the Xia family's daughter, but even her brother is trying to take her away from her!
Xie Yuanping was coming down the stairs when he saw Xia Chuyue there, and a hint of annoyance and displeasure appeared in his eyes.
His gaze swept over Xia Chen and Xia Chuyue without lingering, finally settling on Xia Xinxin.
"Xia Chen, how can you talk to your sister like that? Xin Xin is gentle by nature, and you're hurting her feelings. You've been gone for so long, and the first thing you do when you come back is to argue with your sister. Is that how an older brother should act?"
This has been Xia Chen's way of getting along with Xie Yuanping since childhood.
Xie Yuanping always acted like a strict father when facing Xia Chen, teaching him to care for and love his younger sister and to be more considerate.
Xia Chen had grown accustomed to Xie Yuanping's stern tone; over the years, he had grown tired of Xie Yuanping's accusations against him.
In any case, no matter what she does or how she does it, she can never satisfy him.
