14.2

This is an area of hundreds of hectares of golf course, along the way through several greens, the scenery is very unique, a large piece of green lawn to bring people a comfortable and cool feeling. The man’s home is located in the south side of the golf course, is a European-style villa with a garden and fountain pool, the garden is full of all kinds of expensive flowers and plants, colorful butterflies dancing beautiful scenery makes people as if they were in a dream.

If Zhou Yunsheng was really an orphan who came to the imperial capital from the poor countryside, he would probably be stunned by this kind of scene. But he wasn’t, so he was very calm inside, yet he put on a stunned expression and immediately jumped out of the car when it stopped and ran to the man’s side, pulling on his white-gloved hand to express his fear and uncertainty.

Because the system issued quests to please men and their families, something he had done in his past life.

“No touching me, that’s the first rule you have to follow.” The man immediately shook him off, disgust in his voice. Even through a layer of fabric, he didn’t like the touch of strangers, so he took off his gloves and casually threw them on the floor.

Zhou Yunsheng stumbled and almost fell, but the man ignored him and walked straight toward the front door, his assistant carrying two boxes of luggage, equally oblivious to the teenager. Their reactions were the same as in their previous life.

Zhou Yunsheng walked behind the two men, looking down to hide the cold smile at the corner of his mouth. The man is still as disdainful of disguise, but it is also true that, in the face of a half-grown boy who knows nothing, he does not need to spend effort to coax the other party, as long as the other party is brought into such a favorable environment, anyone will not be able to leave.

An old man with gray hair and wearing a black suit pulled open the door for the man and bent down, “You’re back, dinner is almost ready, you can go and take a hot bath first.” The words fell glancing towards the back, his cold to the point of indifference as if he was looking at a dead man.

In his previous life, as soon as Zhou Yunsheng stepped through this door, he already knew that this place was not a paradise for him, but a hell. This family’s sinister intentions were too obvious, and while they might have been able to fool the unseasoned Huang Yi, they definitely couldn’t fool him. As he walked into the living room, he kept dialing 110 in his heart, but on his face he wore a timid and humble expression, and then he was stunned by the young girl sitting on the sofa, who looked exactly like himself.

Past events surfaced in his mind, and when he came back to his senses, he had already been brought to the living room by the old man, and saw a middle-aged noblewoman and a wonderful young girl waiting there, and the images overlapped completely with his last life.

The young girl’s eyes snapped open, and two blushes rose to her excessively white cheeks; she tried to get up, but the noblewoman pulled her back with a gentle admonition, “Don’t get too excited.”

“Hello, I’m Jingyi Xue.” The young girl reached over with one hand and pressed the other against her chest.

Zhou Yunsheng stared at the hand. The other person’s skin was white, the kind of sickly pallor, the nail caps showed a lavender color, a symptom of severe heart disease, and the fact that she was out of breath even when she took a few more steps and had to hire a home nurse to look after her at all times showed that the young girl’s health was in very bad shape.

Zhou Yunsheng had never lacked a rich imagination, nor was he above speculating on human doings with the most sinister of intentions. In his previous life, when he realized that there was a hundred percent chance that he and the young girl were twins, his heart thumped and he instantly understood why the man was so disgusted with him and still wanted to take him back.

There couldn’t be a better organ supplier in the world than a twin child, and if the young girl had leukemia that would be fine, donating bone marrow a few times wouldn’t be a problem for him, but by the looks of it, the young girl clearly had a heart condition, and the family was trying to kill themselves.

On the first day he came to the Xue family, Zhou Yunsheng had already seen clearly what kind of abyss he was standing on the edge of. But he was powerless to resist, following the tasks issued by the system to please the Xue family, envying the young girl and framing her, then rightfully being exposed and loathed, and then waiting until he found out the truth about his adoption by ‘mistake’, he began to design and kill the young girl.

Of course, as a villain, he would never succeed. He still remembered that in his last life, he was pushed off the second floor by a young girl accidentally on his way to chase her down, and his head hit the coffee table causing severe brain damage, and his body was completely paralyzed. Xue’s family had wanted to remove his heart immediately, but was stopped by the young girl.

She bothered to take care of him, unwilling to trade the life of a fellow brother for a future, even if he tried to kill himself brutally. When she collapses from another heart attack, the old butler, who is loyal to the Xue family, pulls out his oxygen tube.

To this day, he remembered the smothering pain of suffocation and death.

The unpleasant past whirled around in his mind, roaring and hissing, wanting to send this family to hell, yet Zhou Yunsheng’s face was half-assed. He held the young girl’s delicate hand, his voice trembling, “Who are you? Why do you look exactly like me?”

The two inherited the most excellent genes of their parents, the eyes, ears, mouth and nose are all exquisite, the combination is even more attractive, but a gentle, a heroic, a noble and elegant, a humble and timid, can still see the obvious difference.

“Am I your sister, or younger sister?” The young girl was also distressed and turned back towards the middle-aged noblewoman with a pleading gaze.

The middle-aged noblewoman was also a person who disdained pretense, taking a few steps forward and speaking coldly, “You were originally twins, sixteen years ago your parents abandoned Jing Yi, it was us who adopted her. There is no need to distinguish what brother and sister, directly call the name.” Lest the feelings be disposed of.

“My name is Huang Yi.” Zhou Yunsheng introduced himself in a submissive manner. Currently, the young girl had just experienced a serious heart attack that she almost didn’t manage to save, so her body was very weak and couldn’t withstand any bit of wind or rain. Until the young girl recuperated her body to a state where she was able to operate, the Xue family would raise him like a pig to be slaughtered.

bull**! Zhou Yunsheng cursed the foul language straight in his heart, but on his face, he showed an expression of dawning realization. He put on a look of ‘I have a lot to ask, but I’m too timid and unseen to ask’, scratching his ears and standing at a loss for words.

The noblewoman glanced at him contemptuously and spoke gracefully, “Sit down.”

“Thank you.” Zhou Yunsheng was like an amnesty, not daring to sit down, only half of his buttocks dipped on the edge of the luxurious leather sofa. The young girl had a lot of things to ask, just wanted to open her mouth but saw her elder brother coming down with wet hair, and hurriedly walked over to take his arm, the feeling of dependence overflowing.

When she learned that she was not the Xue family’s biological daughter, she had been afraid and uncertain, but more than that, she was overjoyed. Her unseemly feelings of backbiting finally had a place to stay.

The two siblings had a good relationship, and although the man had always been quiet, he would always patiently respond to his sister’s inquiries with a sentence or two, and did not exclude physical contact. The middle-aged noblewoman also shed her cold exterior, concerned to inquire about how the man’s journey has been and whether he has suffered.

The living room was filled with people, pulsating warmth surging through the air, but it had nothing to do with Zhou Yunsheng, until now, the man didn’t even think to introduce himself. Perhaps in his opinion, this humble and timid teenager will die sooner or later, and it is a waste to pay attention to him.

Zhou Yunsheng quietly moved his butt and finally found a comfortable position to sit down, his head hung low to look fearful, but in reality, he was napping. Ten minutes later, the man of the house, Xue Rui, came back.

In the eyes of Zhou Yunsheng, Xue Rui is the only sane person in the Xue family, he is smooth in his methods and cautious in his actions, even if his bones are rotten to the core, the surface is disguised like a philanthropist. He warmly welcomed Zhou Yunsheng’s arrival and said he wanted to adopt him as a companion for his daughter.

Zhou Yunsheng was naturally flattered and grateful.

“But right now the household registration and formalities have not yet been completed, so Xiaoyi will live there first, and uncle will send you to school when the formalities are completed.”

“Thank you uncle.”

“We are all family from now on, don’t say these polite words.” Xue Rui added a chopstick of vegetables to Zhou Yunsheng’s bowl, heard his wife’s sneer and glared hard at her.

Xue Jingyi and the man dined seriously without uttering a word.

——————————————————————————

After dinner, Xue Rui called Zhou Yunsheng to his study for questioning, focusing on whether or not he still had any relatives, and when he learned that he was really all alone, his eyes revealed a satisfied look. If it wasn’t for the sudden death of his own daughter, which caused his wife to suffer from depression, he would never have adopted a baby girl who had no blood relationship with him.

However, on the first day that Xue Jingyi first came to the Xue family, his company received a huge order, and his wife got rid of the effects of depression and returned to normal as fast as she could, making him firmly believe that Xue Jingyi was a blessing to the Xue family, and even though she was later diagnosed with congenital heart disease, he had no intention of abandoning her.

Raised sixteen years, kittens and puppies should be raised out of feelings, let alone people. In order to save his daughter, Xue Rui searched for many hearts, but failed to match because of the special blood type. He recalled in a trance that the agent who sent Xue Jingyi to the Xue family seemed to have said that Xue Jingyi also had a twin brother, which is why he hurriedly sent people to find.

A human life is at stake, he did not dare to pretend to be someone else, and could only let his son go. Although his son is aloof and indifferent, he truly loves his sister and brought her back without much hesitation.

Xue Rui talked a lot of scenes and sketched a happy and beautiful future for Zhou Yunsheng before letting him go back to his room to rest.

Passing by the corner of the stairs and seeing the man walking upwards with a cup of water, Zhou Yunsheng couldn’t help but tease, “Brother, what’s your name?”

The man said without looking back, “I am not your brother, and don’t let me hear that title again in the future.”

Zhou Yunsheng shrank his neck and hugged his shoulders, with an ‘I’m so scared’ look. When the man’s footsteps were far away, the door to the room behind him quietly opened, and Xue Jing Yi poked out half of her head and shouted, “Huang Yi, come in, let’s chat for a while.”

The old butler came out from some corner, his gaze cold and piercing.

Zhou Yunsheng only glanced at him lightly before walking into the young girl’s room. In front of the young girl, the Xue family would not reveal their sinister intentions, so he could act recklessly. Of course, behind the girl’s back, he would act even more recklessly, and this time when he came back, he would definitely not give up until the Xue family was sent to hell.

The old butler stayed in the room on the grounds that he was worried about the young master’s illness and stood in the doorway with his hands behind his back, the word ‘strict’ written in every wrinkle.

“Brother is called Xue Zixuan, so strange that you wouldn’t recognize it. Brother is amazing, he’s been a genius since he was a child, I’ll show you a picture of brother.” Xue Jingyi recounted everything about Xue Zixuan in an adoring tone, from his first time learning the piano to his first time winning an award to his first recital, the adoration in the bottom of her eyes grew stronger and stronger, photo album after photo album was dragged out from underneath the bed by her and piled up all over the floor.

The current Xue Zixuan only had pure affection for Xue Jingyi, and it was only when he began to frame Xue Jingyi, causing her to be in danger time and time again, and being saved by Xue Zixuan time and time again, that the two would develop a more intimate relationship. However, without the jurisdiction of the villainous system in this life, Zhou Yunsheng pressed his efforts to be the bride of the two. Xue’s family looked at him like a dead man, how could he look at them differently?

But what should Xue Jingyi do? She seems to be innocent.

Zhou Yunsheng glanced at the young girl who was immersed in beautiful memories, a hesitant look slipping under his eyes. As he had said before, he was no less than using the most sinister of intentions to surmise what human beings did, and even if Xue Jing Yi appeared to be as pure and kind as she was on the surface, he was unable to trust her wholeheartedly.

After obtaining his heart, Xue Jingyi seems to be reborn as if in nirvana, and has a different understanding of life, which also makes her piano playing skills get a qualitative leap, and becomes a piano player comparable to Xue Zixuan with only three years of hard practice, which shows that she is such a smart and spiritual girl.

Xue’s family took Huang Yi home to hide, and fired a few nannies beforehand, leaving only the loyal old housekeeper and nurses, but also let Huang Yi grow long hair and wear neutral clothing, dressed exactly like Xue Jingyi, and often take him to the hospital to do a physical examination,…… This is all kinds of anomalies, Zhou Yunsheng do not believe that Xue Jingyi will have no feeling at all. The first time I saw her was when she was a young girl, and she had a very good time.

The Xue family tried to erase the traces of Huang Yi’s existence, as if that humble teenager had never come to the imperial capital, except for Xue Rui, they didn’t even bother to give him a little bit of false warmth. They cleaned up all the external traces, but they didn’t even bother to cover up their internal motives, treating Huang Yi as a stupid animal to be slaughtered by them.

It’s a bit ridiculous that their doings are as obvious as that, but it’s a bit ridiculous that Xue Jing Yi, who is the centerpiece, can’t figure out the situation until she’s finally being chased by Huang Yi.

Zhou Yunsheng had reason to suspect that Xue Jingyi had known about it for a long time, but he wouldn’t convict her based on subjective assumptions. He intended to give her a chance, and if she caught on, he would let her leave the Xue family safely.

When he finished thinking, Xue Jingyi also finished flipping through the last photo and took a few sips of the pure water handed by the housekeeper.

“You’ve lived a happy life all these years.” Zhou Yunsheng sighed.

“How about you? Are you doing well?” Xue Jingyi inclined her head.

“Me? I’ve only seen my mom and dad a few times in sixteen years, you know, they’re going to work outside. We were very poor there, we lived in a small earthen kiln, wore old clothes, and only at Chinese New Year could we have a meal of meat. I have to go over four hills to go to school, and I have to get up at 3:30 a.m. It’s okay in the spring and fall, but in the summer and winter, if it happens to be a rainstorm or a snowstorm, if I’m not careful, I’ll fall into a mountain stream and fall to my death. ……”

Zhou Yunsheng described the life in the countryside in a plain tone. He had actually experienced those sufferings, which might be unbearable for others, but were a valuable asset for him. The strongest heart is often polished in the most painful suffering, just like the extremely hot lava quenches out the brilliant diamonds.

He even had to thank the Lord God for putting him through these ordeals, otherwise he would not be standing here, but would be a living dead man like Ol’ Arcee.

Xue Jingyi’s eyes were red and she pinched her handkerchief and kept wiping her tears.

Zhou Yunsheng didn’t comfort her, he knew that these tears were just an appearance, in fact, Xue Jingyi didn’t even put her real relatives in her heart, or else she wouldn’t have not asked a single question in the few hours from when he entered the door until now. But this is not her fault, they are after all strangers to her, or people who once abandoned her.

The old butler immediately walked up and gently patted her spine before staring at Zhou Yunsheng with a cold and very stern gaze, “Miss’s health is not good, please do not stimulate her in the future.”

“What kind of illness did she have?” Zhou Yunsheng inquired with feigned concern.

“It’s nothing, it’s just that my body is weak and I can’t have too many emotional ups and downs. You should return to your room.” The old housekeeper gave the expulsion order and added when Zhou Yunsheng walked to the door, “Back then, it was your parents who took the initiative to abandon the young lady because they couldn’t feed her. Whether the young lady is doing well or not, it has nothing to do with you from now on, and by the same token, the suffering you have endured cannot be attributed to the young lady. What a person should get what to lose, destiny has long been predetermined, if coveted originally should not belong to his things, beware of losing more than gaining.”

Is this a warning to yourself? Thinking that she was jealous because Xue Jingyi was doing well and purposely irritated her? Do these people really think Huang Yi is a stupid, short-sighted brat?

Zhou Yunsheng hooked his lips and smiled coldly, but his expression was very sincere when he turned back, “You’re right, if it is destined for her to lose something, it is also God’s arrangement, if you insist on going against God’s will to change your destiny against the will of heaven, it is possible that the things that once belonged to her may also be lost all together. I don’t think I was suffering in the past, and I don’t think I’m enjoying the blessings of being in the Xue family. But I still want to thank you for bringing me out.”

With a slight nod, he slowly left with a graceful stride.

The old housekeeper’s pupils contracted violently for a split second when he heard the words ”Changing destiny against the heavens”, and he thought that it was possible that he had sensed something, but then quickly dismissed it. He by no means believed that a teenager who stayed in the closed countryside would have such a terrifying insight, but it was just a mistake.

Xue Jingyi recovered from her grief and tugged on the old housekeeper’s sleeve, pleading, “Uncle Fu, Huang Yi didn’t do it on purpose, don’t be angry with him. He has indeed suffered in these sixteen years, so be kind to him.”

“Miss I know, you quickly lie down and rest.” Fu Bo helped the little master pull the quilt back and discreetly explained, “If he asks you in the future what kind of illness you have, you must not tell him.”

“Why?” Xue Jingyi’s eyes flickered slightly.

“You can’t be too careful in your defense. Although he is your fellow brother, after all, this is the first time we have met and we don’t know each other in all aspects, in case he sees the Xue family’s wealth and fortune and gets a heart that shouldn’t be there, I’m afraid that he will be unfavorable to you. Miss, you know that our Xue family is not an ordinary family.”

Xue Jing Yi nodded her head after a few moments of contemplation, the joy of seeing her relatives for the first time disappeared into thin air, the only thing left was a heart full of uneasiness.

————————————————————-

Zhou Yunsheng only met Xue’s family on the first day, and after that, except for Xue Jingyi who was recuperating, everyone else was nowhere to be seen. Xue Rui was the boss of Xue’s consortium and was very busy; Xue Li Dani was a famous violinist who flew around all day long with constant performances; Xue Zixuan, like Xue Li Dani, basically had no spare time.

The only people left in the house were the siblings, the old housekeeper, the family nurse and Xue Zixuan’s assistant. The assistant was deeply trusted by the Xue family and specialized in keeping an eye on Zhou Yunsheng.

Zhou Yunsheng tried to ask the old housekeeper for a laptop computer, the other party even thought about it and agreed, and immediately sent to the room, plugged in the fiber optic. In his opinion, Zhou Yunsheng is a complete and utter bumpkin, can learn to play the empty dragon solitaire even if it is good.

Zhou Yunsheng had really played a day of Empty Dang Solitaire under his nose, so from the next day onwards, no one had monitored him while he was online.

Xue Jingyi realized that he was very quiet and could spend the whole day just sitting and staring, and gradually let go of her guard against him. Unconsciously, two months passed, and Zhou Yunsheng’s hair had reached his shoulders, and he found the housekeeper and said he wanted to cut it into a flat head.

“No, you have the same hairstyle as Miss, you’re twins.” The housekeeper said as she hung a bunch of new clothes into the closet.

Zhou Yunsheng picked up one of the sets and compared it to his body, frowning, “This dress looks like something a girl would wear.”

“These clothes are also available at the lady’s place, you’re twins, you look good in the same ones. Neutral style is popular now, you can go online to check.” The old butler explained with rare patience.

Zhou Yunsheng laughed coldly inwardly, but his face blushed, as if he felt he was too unseen. He changed into one of the sets and walked into Xue Jing Yi’s room, wriggling and tugging at the hem of his shirt, “The butler made us wear the same hairstyle and the same clothes, even though we are twins, I am a male and you are a female, won’t this look strange? And he won’t let me walk outside, like he’s going to lock me up.”

Xue Jing Yi’s long hair that she had kept for several years had just been cut by the stylist into a shoulder length short to medium length hair, and she was saddened when she heard this and couldn’t help but freeze for a moment. She was aware of the butler’s attitude towards Huang Yi, he couldn’t even talk about basic respect, so how could he bother to help him with his styling? And they were indeed putting him under house arrest, even sending people to keep an eye on him 24 hours a day, as if they were afraid that he would escape or be seen by outsiders.

The move itself was bizarre.

Huang Yi in her pinched white shirt was like looking in a mirror when she stood with her, and those who didn’t spend time with her couldn’t tell who was who. Xue Jing Yi stared at the teenager’s slightly feminine face, her eyes changing color.

Seeing this, Zhou Yunsheng casually pulled a few words and left.

That night, Xue Jingyi dialed Xue Li Dani’s phone, several times to ask do not know how to open their mouths, and ultimately can only be left unsettled. She tossed and turned and found it difficult to sleep, and in the middle of the night, she ran to Xue Rui’s study and searched through his filing cabinets. She knew that her father had kept all of her medical records, and if they really had that intention, they would have taken Huang Yi to the hospital for matching, and the medical records would have left traces.

Her heart shook so much at the thought that she almost went limp. She remembered that the day after Huang Yi came Uncle Fu brought him to the hospital, saying that he was doing a comprehensive medical checkup, could it be that that time was to go for matching?

Her hands were shaking terribly as she put the documents back one by one, not intending to look at them again, but she accidentally touched the mouse on the table, causing the computer screen to light up, and on top of it was a medical report, with four eye-catching red fonts labeled in the lower left corner – successful matching, and the name of the test subject was clearly Huang Yi.

She almost screamed out, panicked and shut down her computer, and ran away in a state of disorientation. The next day she began to run a high fever, and Zhou Yunsheng accompanied her and took good care of her, with a gentle manner that even the family nurse sighed to herself.

“Take a sip of hot water.” Zhou Yunsheng put a pillow behind Xue Jingyi’s waist.

“Thanks.” Xue Jingyi took the glass of water, wanting to speak.

“What’s the matter? You have something you want to say to me?” Zhou Yunsheng encouraged.

Xue Jingyi was about to nod when her heart throbbed violently. This pain had been with her since she was three years old, and the doctors had even asserted that she wouldn’t live past the age of twenty-five. Twenty-five was a woman’s most beautiful years, her ideals, her love, had withered at the very beginning of her life.

Is she willing? Of course not! How in the world can anyone be willing to die?

Pressing down hard on her aching chest, Xue Jingyi slowly shook her head.

Zhou Yunsheng leaned back in his chair and hooked his lips into a smile. Very well, he had already given her a chance, but she hadn’t seized it. As long as she reminded him to hurry up and leave the Xue family today, without giving even a decent reason, he would let her go.

Selfish people tended to live longer, he could understand Xue Jingyi’s pain but would never forgive.
