Chapter nine
The Xie family in the north of the city had an adopted daughter, Xie Yuan, who was taken back at the age of eight just because her fate matched that of the Xie family's only son, who was often sick.
It was the lady's idea to bring Xie Yuan here, so when the master of the house came back, he was not aware of this and did not welcome him.
The young boy Xie Yan was a smiling tiger. He smiled at others on the surface, but turned around and pushed Xie Yuan into the swimming pool.
The water in the pond was freezing cold in late autumn. Xie Yuan had a high fever and forgot about the orphanage. From then on, she just thought of herself as the young lady of the Xie family.
At that time, people often saw her speaking ill of Xie Yan.
The young master of the Xie family was actually subdued by her and his temper became much more restrained.
But this overt relationship did not last long.
The head of the family has an illegitimate son who is only two years younger than Xie Yan.
"Xie Yuan, what have you done wrong?"
Inside the hall, Xie Yuan stood alone in the corner, his clothes disheveled.
Xie Yan's shirt was very dirty, and he looked equally disheveled, but no less evil: "Who are you pretending to be for, you pretend to be a chaste woman? Do you think anyone can be used by me?"
"Xie Yan, I want you to die."
Xie Yuan pulled a rope that was connected to the chandelier at some point, right above their heads. Xie Yan's pupils shrank sharply.
"Wait, stop, what are you going to do?"
"Thank you, come here."
Xie Yuan smiled at him, then pulled hard, causing the crystal chandelier to fall down. Xie Yan rushed over and protected her tightly under him.
The white shirt was stained with blood, some of which dripped onto the girl's pretty face, along with the boy's gentle breathing.
The next second, Xie Yan fell down and pressed on Xie Yuan.
She was unharmed and pushed him away without a care in the world.
"Hello?"
Xie Yuan smiled with curved lips, but used the calmest tone: "Mother, Qi Han tampered with the lights at home, and Xie Yan and I were hit."
The scene changed to a clean white room where Xie Yuan was lying on his back on a large bed with his hands tied behind his back.
The half-drunk man pushed the door open, narrowed his eyes when he saw her, and smashed the bottle with his backhand.
He used a piece of the splinter to cut the ropes that bound her, and scratched her without mercy.
"It's you…"
Qi Han laughed heartily, the sharp edge of the fragment almost touching her cheek: "You were sold, Miss Xie."
Xie Yuan said nothing, but just looked at him with clear eyes.
Then, as he was approaching, she pulled out the dagger hidden under her body and stabbed him hard.
“We are indeed half brothers.”
She said word by word: "They are both sick in the same way."
…
When I woke up again, everything was white.
It took me a while to realize that this was a room with a balcony.
The wind chimes rang slightly, and someone pushed the door open.
"Are you awake? Eat something." It was Qi Han.
No, it should be said that he is my old friend.
There were bruises at the corners of his lips and gauze wrapped around his shoulders and neck. The last time he looked so miserable was when I stabbed him.
He put the porridge on the table, picked it up and blew on it: "Open your mouth, I'll feed you."
"Anesthesia again. Can your tricks be a little more new?"
Qi Han's expression remained unchanged, but I, who had just recovered my memory, was still in high spirits.
"But it's true. After all, you've become very good at drugging me, sneaking into my room in the middle of the night and raping me. Even Xie Yan couldn't help but learn from you. How can you change in a short time?"
"As expected of a bastard, he uses the same shady methods as me."
"What about you? Xie Yuan, you've been the daughter of the Xie family for more than 20 years, and you really think of yourself as a phoenix?"
Qi Han pinched my chin and said, "Haven't you learned enough from being sent by Xie Yan to frame me?"
"He's just a fool."
In order to deal with Qi Han, Xie Yan, who had once confessed to me when he was drunk, personally put me into his arms.
But he didn't guess that I would be so cruel as to choose to die together with Qi Han.
"Thank you. It's not a good thing to be too cruel."
Qi Han wiped the stains from the corners of my lips and fed me spoonful by spoonful.
After drinking the bowl of porridge, my body gradually regained consciousness.
When he stood up, the hem of his shirt was slightly lifted , revealing gauze underneath.
"Do you want Xie Yan to come and see you?"
"Can he come?"
The head of the Xie family is a ruthless man. He doesn't care whether Qi Han is an illegitimate child or not. He has always thought that Xie Yan is a waste and wants to hand over the family business to Qi Han.
Later, they were almost killed by me. The incident became so serious that it alarmed the head of the family. On the rainy night when I escaped, I had a car accident.
When I woke up again, I became Jing Yuan and lived in Xie Yan's apartment.
"He wanted to hide you, but I found you." Qi Han's hands wandered over my face.
"How foolish."
I stared at him without saying a word.
It is not actually accurate to say that she is an adopted daughter.
When Mrs. Xie was alive, she always classified me as something like Xie Yan.
She said she wanted to take yin to replenish yang, and would give it to Xie Yan when I turned eighteen.
Qi Han came back when I was sixteen, the same age as me.
He was thinking about me probably just because I belonged to Xie Yan.
Later, Xie Yan found out and sent me out, because Mrs. Xie would be furious and would use this as an excuse to get rid of him.
Of course, it would be even more to her liking if he could die directly in my hands.
So there came the dagger, and it was actually Madam Xie's idea to kill Qi Han.
It’s just that I was incompetent, and after failing, I was imprisoned by him for too long before I escaped.
But Mrs. Xie never expected that her own son was almost killed by me.
"I heard that Mr. Xie is going to die."
I suddenly spoke, a nonchalant smile on my lips: "Kidney failure, I don't have much time left."
Qi Han suddenly laughed: "I really underestimated you."
"Have you decided the winner?"
"Something unexpected happened."
He slowly twisted my hands: "Such beautiful hands really look better with some blood on them."
"Sometimes I wonder which of the three of us is the real descendant of the Xie family."
A hint of gloom flashed across Qi Han's eyes: "After all, the one who looks most like that man is you."
