"?"
"Didn't you ask me to help you check your affairs abroad before?"
Xiao Siyun was a little surprised.
Although she brought up this matter, it happened a long time ago.
Xiao Yingzhi had no other news to tell her, so she gradually stopped being so obsessed with it.
Anyway, I'm living a good life now.
Unexpectedly, suddenly, they said they had found out the news and the person had come out alive.
"But according to Shen Qing, that Ivan is about the same age as you and him. Did he adopt me?"
Xiao Yingzhi opened a photo of Ivan on his phone and showed it to her.
Xiao Siyun took one look and exclaimed, "Oh! He's very handsome, and he's mixed-race."
Xiao Yingzhi: “…”
"It's not so much that he adopted you, but rather that you two depend on each other."
Xiao Siyun looked at the photo carefully. He was handsome, but he didn't feel very moved.
Is this really the person she depends on for life?
"But, didn't they say I was sold there by human traffickers? Then he..."
"He treats you very well and treats you like his own sister."
"It's my sister again..." Xiao Siyun muttered softly.
Xiao Yingzhi laughed when he heard it, and couldn't help teasing her: "You also know that you are being a sister to others everywhere?"
"Well... well, I didn't mean to do that." Xiao Siyun felt a little guilty.
"But I think my biological brother is still the best, I swear, hehe."
Xiao Siyun tried to please Xiao Yingzhi, but Xiao Yingzhi laughed at her for being naughty and continued talking.
"After you were sold abroad, you lived in an orphanage for a period of time."
"It's called an orphanage... but it's very dangerous."
Xiao Yingzhi spoke hesitantly, fearing that he would scare Xiao Siyun.
Xiao Siyun: "Dangerous?"
"Well, they specialize in buying and selling beautiful children from all over the world to raise, both boys and girls."
Xiao Yingzhi tried his best to speak tactfully, but Xiao Siyun understood.
Her eyes widened and goosebumps appeared on her skin.
"What about me?"
Xiao Yingzhi comforted her promptly, "As far as I know, Ivan has always protected you very well."
"And soon, Ivan's family took him back, and he took you with him."
"So you didn't actually live in that welfare home for very long, and you weren't harmed."
Xiao Siyun was surprised.
"So that's like him taking me out of the fire?"
"Why would he be so nice to me, protecting me and taking me away?"
Xiao Yingzhi shook his head. How could he know what Ivan was thinking?
He had never had direct contact with Ivan in his previous life, he just knew that he was a ruthless person.
Xiao Yingzhi sighed and continued:
"His family is a large and complex one, with complicated relationships."
"He can't even protect himself, so I can only say that he's dragged you from one hell of a pit to another."
"But it's still better than being in an orphanage. You've got your education and studies covered."
"You were able to grow up healthy, thanks in large part to him."
Xiao Siyun listened carefully and asked again.
"So, he was really good to me, but why did I suddenly return home?"
"It's been so long, hasn't he thought of coming to see me?"
Xiao Yingzhi paused and said, "I think it's because he was busy with housework some time ago!"
"housework?"
Saturday Hotel.
Ivan and Zhou Ling sat opposite each other, and Zhou Ling poured him a glass of wine.
Zhou Ling: "Have you finished dealing with your family affairs?"
Ivan: "Well, thanks to your uncle, I was delayed a little."
Zhou Ling: “…”
Ivan: "But I still have to thank you. He was kicked out of the Zhou family by you and wanted to seek help from my father."
"Fortunately, you informed me in time, so I could take advantage of this incident and bring down my father as well."
"It just delayed my time to go out and look for my sister..."
Ivan smiled faintly, he looked feminine to begin with.
When a faint smile appears on the face, it looks cunning and scheming.
He suddenly asked: "My sister was injured because your third uncle wanted to kill you, right?"
Zhou Ling's heart skipped a beat as he recalled He Yang's warning to him about Ivan.
"Brother, you really have to be careful when you talk to him. Ivan is a lunatic!"
"He was thrown into an orphanage and bullied since he was a child by the legitimate heir because he was half-blood."
"When you were a child, you were mistakenly sent to that orphanage for a few days. You know what the situation is like there."
"Not to mention Ivan grew up there, so you know how ruthless he is!"
"Later, the family felt that the legitimate candidate was no longer viable, so they brought him back as a backup."
"I went to the same university as him. Although he graduated many years ago, his deeds are simply..."
"And he even brought down his own father a while ago. The whole family is angry at him but dares not speak out."
"Anyway, don't mess with him!"
"He has no humanity or emotions, and only obeys his only sister."
"Honestly, I didn't expect that the eldest lady is actually his sister!"
"If the talks break down, you'll use the eldest lady as a shield, got it, brother?!"
Of course, Zhou Ling also knew the horrific past of the man in front of him.
Back then, his workaholic parents were busy with their careers.
At the same time, I misheard the news and thought it was just an ordinary children's welfare home.
As a result, he was mistakenly placed in that welfare home for a short period of time.
In just a few days, he saw a lot of ugly things.
Fortunately, someone helped him at that time and he was able to escape the disaster.
Then his parents realized the truth and quickly took him away.
It was not until later that he found out that Xiao Siyun had also lived in that welfare home.
While feeling terrified, some long-forgotten memories were also revived.
He still remembers how he struggled to break free from the orphanage workers' iron-like grip.
He ran away madly until he lost his way.
Just as he was about to be caught up by the workers, a little girl ran out and took him away.
He was stuffed into a small attic by the little girl, who would bring him cold, small but clean meals.
Only she didn't speak.
He asked her what her name was and she shook her head.
She would just peek out from her messy, frizzy hair, blinking her eyes and stare at him while he ate.
Those eyes are bright and beautiful.
A few days later, a beam of light shone into the attic, and his parents rushed in and took him away, tired and hungry.
Not long after, he begged his parents to take him back to find the little girl.
But I was told that she was taken away by her brother.
The brother who took her away left Ivan's signature on the paper.
It was an ordinary name, so he didn't think much about it.
It was better that she left - that's what he thought at the time.
But he would never see such bright and beautiful eyes again.
Until that day...
He saw it again when he was choosing a gift for his grandfather in Jewelry Street!
