"Until now, she still hasn't been at peace with the old man Yi from next door. How can I respect such a mother?"

Next door? Lin Zihan blurted out, "Yi Yuxin's father?"

Xiao Shuren nodded and sneered, "It's not just the Yi family. Her relationship with many people is not clear. I don't even know whose blood I'm bleeding."

"Aren't you from the Xiao family …?" Lin Zihan stared at him in surprise and asked cautiously.

"No." Xiao Shuren closed his eyes in pain. Every time he thought about this ridiculous thing, he would feel angry and resentful. He would never dare to tell anyone about his shameful past.

He hugged Lin Zihan tightly, and for the first time, he opened his heart to someone else. He spoke faintly, "I will always remember the painful expression on my father's face when he received his paternity test report when he was seven years old. I will always remember the scene when he fell from the roof of the hospital to the ground, his entire body covered in blood." The shocking scene deeply rooted itself in his mind. Even after more than 20 years, he still could not erase a single memory.

The person he loved the most betrayed him, and the son he doted on for seven years was not his. This kind of feeling must be even worse than death!

And his mother, shameless as if nothing had happened, was still living her life. After sitting firmly on Madam Xiao's throne, she actually brought the man from outside back to the Xiao family.

After the Xiao family had been wiped out because of her, her and her lover had nearly ruined the huge fortune in order to save the Xiao family. Xiao Shuren, who was studying as a hitman, finally managed to snatch the Xiao family back from that man at the age of twenty and chased him out of the Xiao family's courtyard.

If it weren't for Madam Xiao's pleading and the fact that she was his mother, he would have chased her out of the Xiao family a long time ago.

He hugged Lin Zihan so tightly that she almost couldn't breathe. At some point, Xiao Zhinfan's large hand had clenched into a fist, causing her to feel pain on her shoulder.

Even though she couldn't see his face, she could still feel his pain, and despite her discomfort, she wrapped her arms around his waist.

"Immortality, as long as you treat yourself as a member of the Xiao family." She had thought that her background was bizarre enough, but to think that he was even more bizarre than she was.

"Even until the day of my grandfather's death, he still thought that I was the flesh and blood of the Xiao family and handed over the Star of God to me without hesitation." Xiao Zhifan took a deep breath and said: "Zihan, please forgive me for not giving up on the Star of God." He could not disappoint his grandfather's kind intentions. He had to find the Star of God!

"I forgive you." Lin Zihan retreated from his embrace and said emotionally, "No matter what you do, I will support you as long as you can stay alive!"

"I will." Xiao Shuren grabbed her hand and kissed it. He had too many things to accomplish, so how could he not live on?

"A person's life in the future is not a matter of living through the past. To become a mortal, don't keep thinking about the past."

Xiao Shuren nodded as he calmed himself down and said, "Ever since I had you and Shuxue, I feel that my life is not so empty and cheap."

"Thank you." Lin Zihan wrapped her arms around his neck and happily exclaimed, "It's so good to be part of his life!" In this life, she was willing to accompany him until she died of old age!

In the morning, the slanting sun shone through the window and onto the bed in the bedroom. Lin Zihan woke up and realized that Xiao Shuren had already woken up.

Ye Zichen looked around the unfamiliar room, but Xiao Shifan was not by her side. She suddenly felt a little helpless. This place wasn't like a beach villa, where she could make a ruckus at will.

The door was suddenly pushed open, and Lin Zihan quickly pulled a sheet over herself, staring in horror at Madam Xiao, who was standing by the door with a solemn expression.

Although he was afraid of her, he could not help but express his dissatisfaction. "Madam Xiao, please knock on the door the next time you want to enter." As he spoke, he pulled the sheet over his body, trying to cover himself.

"What a joke. I never need to knock on my own son's door when I enter his room." Madam Xiao was very dissatisfied with her insolence. Did Xiao Shuren really think she could speak to her in such a manner just because he doted on her?

"But he's not alone now." If she had come earlier, wouldn't she have bumped into Xiao Shuren and her naked side? This was the most basic form of etiquette, shouldn't normal people understand it as well?

Madam Xiao sized her up. Her gaze fell on her exposed shoulders as she coldly laughed. "You're such a shameless person. You climbed onto a man's bed before you got married. Do you still need to be afraid of being seen by others?"

How could she have the face to say 'shame' to her? If she hadn't heard Xiao Zhifan personally say those words to her last night, she wouldn't have believed that the dignified and graceful Madam Xiao was such a despicable woman. She had always worshipped Madam Xiao like she was the empress!

He even stole someone else's fiance. She was simply the unqualified woman that Xiao Zhenfan had mentioned. When her thoughts came to an end, her face flushed red.

"It looks like I was wrong not to give you the money before. What did you say? You don't want the Xiao family's money? You don't want the men of the Xiao family? Where did those bold words from back then go?" Why would it start again in just a few days' time? "

"Because I love him." Xiao Shuren stole the marriage, but this explanation was no longer valid. She was glad that Xiao Shuren had taken her away from the church. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to live with him for the rest of her life.

"Love?" Madam Xiao raised her voice and ridiculed him, "On what basis do you love to leave the mortal world? Why didn't she know how to weigh her status and status? How could there be such a good thing in the world? How can there be a Cinderella with such a good life? "

"…"

"If you are smart enough, immediately leave the mortal world! You can forget about marrying him in this lifetime! " Xiao Shuren had to marry Yi Yuxin! This was something she had promised Yi Yuxin's father many years ago, so she would stop him no matter what.

"I'm sorry, I can't leave him." She did not want to leave him, nor did she want Little Shuxue to grow up without a father or mother.

"I will make you leave the Xiao family voluntarily." Madam Xiao said fiercely.

Her expression made Lin Zihan's hair stand on end. Madam Xiao was like a big bad wolf that was waiting for a little white rabbit. Her entire body was emitting a frightening aura.

What would she do? How could he make her leave voluntarily? Kill her? Or...?

At this moment, Xiao Yunfan walked in. She looked at the two women in front of him and said to Madam Xiao, "Mother, go out first and have Zi Han change his clothes."

Madam Xiao gave a cold snort before turning around and walking out. Xiao Zhifan casually locked the door and walked to the bed. She pulled Lin Zihan out from the corner of the bed and asked, "What did she tell you?"

Lin Zihan shook her head, pulling on the sheet, "Nothing."

Even if she didn't say anything, Xiao Fanfan could guess that Madam Xiao definitely wouldn't say anything good. He sighed softly. Hugging her in her arms, she said gently, "No matter what she says, don't take it to heart."

"Yes."

"Alright, put on your clothes first. Be careful not to catch a cold." Xiao Shuren let her go.

Lin Zihan looked at Xiao Shuren who was dressed in casual clothes and asked, "Don't you have to go to work?"

"I don't have anything important to do today. I can work at home as well." He was afraid that Madam Xiao and Yi Yuxin would make things difficult for her, so he decided to stay at home to accompany her.

After eating breakfast, Madam Xiao went next door to play cards. Only then did Lin Zihan dare to go out to take a breath of fresh air. The Xiao family was indeed a rich family. The entire house was grand and imposing.

She walked along the gravel path to the backyard, where there was a swimming pool in the middle. The pale blue water of the pool was rippling with sunlight.

Lin Zihan was squatting at the edge of the pool, preparing to scoop up a handful of water. Suddenly, a silhouette emerged from the bottom of the pool with a 'hu' sound. Lin Zihan was shocked. She looked closely and saw it was Yi Yuxin. When did she run into the water? How come she didn't know at all?

"Manager Yi." She patted her heart that was thumping with fright and politely called out to him.

The droplets of water dripped down Yi Yuxin's beautiful cheeks one by one. It was hard to tell if it was tears or water. She raised her hand to wipe the droplets of water off her face. With a cold snort, she climbed up to the shore, put on her bathrobe, and headed inside the house.

After walking a few steps, he turned his head to look at Lin Zihan, and asked indifferently: "What exactly happened to the child? "Why is she sent to the mortal world?"

Lin Zi Han looked at her, her lips moved but she did not say a single word, because she did not know how to answer. Could it be that she wanted to tell her the truth? She might not believe it either.

Even she couldn't believe it at first, much less her.

"When did you meet a mortal?" Yi Yuxin continued to ask, "You entered the Xiao family and brought your child to the company. Were you planning this all along?"

"I didn't." Lin Zihan shook her head. Things were not as she had said; she didn't even know that Xiao Shuren was Little Shuxue's father.

"Lin Zihan, you're so despicable …" Yi Yuxin blinked the tears in her eyes and walked towards the door. Lin Zihan watched her back as she left and sighed softly. She had never seen Yi Yuxin so sad and helpless. She had never seen such a haughty and arrogant Yi Yuxin before.

After staying in the Xiao family for two days, Madam Xiao did not do anything to harm Lin Zihan because she had Xiao Yunfan to accompany her.

Early in the morning, Madam Xiao brought Little Shuxue to play in the garden. Little Shuxue and Madam Xiao's happy smiles stung Yi Yuxin's heart. Who knew how much she hated this child!

Madam Xiao finally noticed the abnormality of Yi Yuxin. She sat beside her and patted her hand. "Little Shuxue is a very obedient child. You'll accept her, won't you?"

Yi Yuxin looked at Little Shuxue, who was standing not far away, and said painfully, "Aunty, as long as I can be with you, I will accept anything."

Acceptance of Little Shuxue was not a problem at all, what she hated most was, why was she Lin Zihan's daughter!

"That's good." Madam Xiao smiled and called for Little Shuxue. She hugged her on her legs and kissed her on the cheek. "The Xiao family is small and thin. I've always hoped that the mortal world could give me a few more."

Yi Yuxin didn't understand what she was saying. Her gaze had been captivated by Xiao Shuren who was walking towards her. Xiao Shuren, who had always doted on her, how could she change so suddenly?

"Mortal …" She raised her little face and stared at him.

Xiao Shuren looked as gentle as ever, and the way he looked at her was as gentle as ever, as if nothing had changed. There was no Lin Qinghan, no little Shuxue!

"Good morning, Yuxin." Xiao Shuren greeted with a smile.

"Father Xiao, I … Are you bringing me and Mommy out to play?" Little Shuxue asked loudly as she looked at Xiao Fan. It had been a long time since she had last gone out to play.

"Yes." Xiao Zhifan dotingly took her hand, turned around, and walked away.

"Where are we going to play?"

"…"

The two figures disappeared around the corner of the garden. Madam Xiao sighed and said, "The heart of an ordinary mortal is Lin Zihan. I really don't know what evil has befallen him."

When he couldn't get a response from Yi Yuxin, he turned around and found that she was in a daze again. She shook her head and left the garden, walking into the house.
