"Xia Yuxin..."
Looking at the name in the contact's notes, Xia Che narrowed his eyes, finished the last puff of his cigarette, threw the butt on the ground, and stomped it out.
He could never forget that name.
Picking up the stubbed cigarette butt from the ground, Xia Che walked towards the trash can, his mind flooded with memories.
This is the original owner's younger sister.
A rebellious girl through and through.
In the original owner's memories, Xia Yuxin disliked him quite a bit.
Perhaps it's because the Xia family's education is always stricter with the eldest son, so they have always been quite demanding of Xia Che since he was a child.
But they are also very hypocritical.
She was strict with her eldest son, but incredibly gentle with her younger sister—no, you could say she was gentle to the extreme.
Because of his parents' differential treatment, Xia Che was very unhappy and found Xia Yuxin disagreeable no matter how he looked at her.
When she was very young, Xia Yuxin did have a period of being well-behaved.
At that time, she loved to cling to her brother. Like all younger sisters in the world, Xia Yuxin thought her brother was an omnipotent superman.
Xia Che can always instantly assemble building blocks and toys that he can't stack or put together by himself.
Xia Yuxin admires him very much.
but……
When did it start?
Young girls often idolize their older brothers, but this idolization gradually fades as they grow older. They gradually realize that their brothers are not as outstanding as they imagined, just like their new friends and the people around them.
If you replaced your older brother, who grew up with you, with someone else, you would probably admire them too.
Once the idol filter is shattered, the girls will no longer have any admiration in their eyes.
If the older brother himself is not that outstanding, the childhood admiration will instantly turn into anger at being deceived, and the transformation from admiration to disgust can happen in an instant.
Unfortunately, the original owner of this body was a failed brother who was eliminated by his own sister.
"It seems to have started when she was twelve years old, right? Xia Yuxin gradually stopped clinging to the original owner and preferred those rebellious teenagers who appeared on TV. It seems... the original owner didn't say it, but she actually cared quite a bit. Was that why she chose to dye her hair blonde?"
Xia Che stroked his chin, a pang of sympathy rising in his heart.
It sounds rather pathetic that an older brother wants to win back his younger sister's admiration for him.
Aside from Xia Che himself, who could know that the infamous "Knife Brother" of Weiyang is actually a gentle person who doesn't like fighting?
Because the original owner of this body had a gentle personality and didn't like to compete or show off, she was looked down upon by her family.
Even his own sister looked down on him.
When things got really bad, Xia Yuxin was so upset that she wouldn't even sit down to eat with Xia Che. She would even secretly throw away the tableware that Xia Che had used, and her conversations were full of sarcastic remarks.
She disregarded Xia Che's concern and treated his efforts as worthless.
Contempt, indifference, ridicule.
It was as if they were treating a complete stranger, an enemy.
"Was it worth it? You ruined your image like this, and in the end, you still couldn't win back your sister. You were left alone in the country... You must feel very wronged, right?"
Xia Che reached out and touched his chest. He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt his heart beating faster at that moment.
My heart started pounding, as if a non-existent soul was nodding in approval.
Feeling this sudden, magical sensation, Xia Che's feelings were complicated. He had never had a sister and didn't understand this feeling, but as a man, Xia Che could empathize.
In an attempt to win back her sister, she ruined her own image to this terrible state, but instead of improving, the other party's attitude became increasingly outrageous.
Such a younger sister...
Is she considered a younger sister?
Although he had never met Xia Yuxin, Xia Che's impression of her had already plummeted to rock bottom.
He wasn't the original owner of this body, so he didn't have that many feelings for his sister.
Since he's a heartless ingrate who trampled on the original owner's true feelings, there's no need to be too polite to him.
Xia Che opened the text message and looked at the content:
"Next Wednesday at 3 a.m., flight CA199, arriving in New York."
The text message was brief, just one sentence, but it was incoherent and the tone annoyed Xia Che. He raised an eyebrow and quickly replied, "I'm not going."
Isn't that being arrogant?
He wanted to see who was more arrogant.
Without any explanation, they just send me to New York right off the bat?
What are you going there for?
When you three abandoned yourselves, why didn't you think of taking yourselves with you?
I'm living quite comfortably in Jiang City now, and I suddenly realized that my family is missing a maid like me.
Neuropathy……
Xia Che sneered.
In his memory, the original owner was never well-liked. He did all the dirty and tiring work at home and had to serve others after finishing his studies every day.
The eldest son of the Xia family?
She's more like the head housekeeper of the Xia family.
In their eyes, are they just dogs that can be summoned and dismissed at will?
Why didn't you think of taking yourself with you when you left?
The other party didn't reply for a long time, clearly not expecting the usually timid Xia Che to be so tough. Xia Che didn't care, thinking that after his rebuke, the other party would probably go along with it.
I guess it's because the old man is concerned about his image. After going abroad, he ran into an acquaintance who mentioned him like that.
That's why you remembered you have a son, right?
"It's like I owe you something..."
Xia Che muttered something, and for the first time, a violent emotion welled up in his heart.
He found it difficult to maintain his usual composure in front of this family.
Ding-dong—
The text message notification sounded a little abrupt this time. Xia Che opened it and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
The other party indeed panicked.
The text message read:
"Didn't you always call yourself the eldest son of the Xia family? What are you pretending for now? I told you to come, so come. This is the last chance I'm giving you. Let me tell you, you won't get any more living expenses. If you don't come, then you'd better find a way to earn money yourself."
No matter how you look at it, it seems a bit frantic...
It was indeed because the original owner of this body had been submissive for too long that everyone thought he was an easy pushover.
Xia Yuxin got so anxious just because I resisted a little.
It's easy to imagine what kind of person you are in their eyes.
Xia Che didn't even bother to reply. He had already said he wouldn't go anyway, so let the other party be in a hurry; it had nothing to do with him.
Or rather, when they decided to leave Xia Che alone in the country, he was no longer a part of their lives.
Xia Che ignored Xia Yuxin, but Xia Yuxin was unwilling to let him go.
Another ding-dong sound, and a new text message arrived.
Xia Che clicked on it with great interest, but his eyes darkened slightly.
