Chapter 920 Just for Ties
Xie Anlin has been like an invisible person in the Xie family for the past two years. He is not recognized and cannot fit in. He is like an outsider. Wherever he appears, no matter how good the atmosphere is, it will immediately become awkward.
He is obviously the youngest son of the Xie family.
He and Xie Tianjie were born on the same day and have the same birthday, but the Xie family only holds a birthday party for Xie Tianjie and does not consider him.
They will celebrate Xie Tianjie's successful admission to the first military academy of the alliance, but they don't even care which university he will go to.
The Xie family will only bring Xie Tianjie to the Xie family's external banquets.
No one noticed him, no one cared about him, he was like an invisible person at home.
No matter what he did, whether it was attending the first military academy of the Star Alliance or learning to operate mechas, all his efforts were seen as flattery by the Xie family.
Xie Anlin pressed his temples to relieve the swelling pain, but the impact of the star beast's attack was still there.
"Sometimes, family members are also based on fate. Maybe you and the Xie family are not destined to be together. Otherwise, how could you be separated from the Xie family at birth?"
Sang Yian said softly.
Xie Anlin was silent.
Sang Yian continued filming without noticing his expression. "If you were you, you would never waste your time and energy on gaining the so-called recognition of your family. You are not a child who needs to be taken care of by others. You can't live without them."
"I don't quite understand. It's obvious that staying in the Xie family makes you more miserable. Life after returning to the Xie family should be much more difficult than your previous life, right?"
"Do you particularly like to endure hardships, or do you have to make things difficult for yourself? You don't even know how to seek benefits and avoid harm?"
Xie Anlin grew up, and basically no one would tell him these life principles.
When his parents were there, he was still young. Although the family was difficult, it was very happy. He only needed to be healthy and obedient.
After his parents passed away, he and his elder brother depended on each other for survival. It was already difficult for them to live, and he had never thought about such life truths.
He just wanted to be with his brother forever.
Until his brother disappeared during an expedition -
he grew up alone, always guarding the house where he and his elder brother lived. It's not that he didn't have the opportunity to leave, but he didn't want to.
He was worried that if his elder brother came back one day, he wouldn't be able to find his way home.
No one told him these life truths, and he himself had never thought about them.
His elder brother had been missing for 8 years, and he tried his best to investigate, but got no news.
He thought that when he returned to the Xie family, he could rely on the Xie family's connections and information resources to get more news about his elder brother.
But he didn't expect that life after returning to the Xie family would be like this.
Sang Yian chuckled, "Actually, blood relationship doesn't mean everything. At least from what you said, no one in the Xie family treated you well or recognized you because of blood relationship."
Xie Anlin suddenly realized, "It seems to be true."
Sang Yian raised his eyelids slightly, and saw his expression like a lost lamb, "So, why do you have to strive for the recognition of these people who don't regard you as a family member at all, or even hate you?"
Xie Anlin murmured in response, "We are a family, I am their son, the eldest brother's younger brother, they should..."
"Who stipulates that parents must love their own children?" Sang Yian interrupted him and asked back.
Xie Anlin was completely silent.
He had never thought about these problems. It might be because he had been alone for too long. In this world, he had no other concerns except his missing elder brother. But this concern was about life and death.
Many people told him not to bother looking for news about his elder brother.
Every year, the casualties of the teams going to the danger zone for exploration were high. There were many star beasts in the danger zone, and there might be high-level star beasts. If the exploration team did not have a mecha soldier or commander with a high spirit level, it was common for the whole team to be wiped out. There was
almost no possibility of survival for a disappearance like that of his elder brother.
It was because of this that the Xie family came to him and told him that they were the Xie family, that he had a home, parents, brothers, and relatives. He was particularly excited.
He is no longer alone, he also has a family.
He doesn't have to look for his missing brother by himself, his family can help!
However, all these ideas and expectations turned into dust after returning to the Xie family.
