Rebirth: The fake young master became a millionaire after becoming a millionaire

The scenery of the ancestral home is still beautiful, just like the time I remembered two years ago.

Only this time, the mood of the people watching the scene changed.

Great-grandfather used sleepiness as an excuse to take Xu Chuyi and Gu Nian out to hang out and chat in the garden community.

As for finding out the real culprit behind the scenes, it's up to the adults to do it.

Gu Nian calmly pushed his great-grandfather's wheelchair, and Xu Chuyi and Gu Nian walked side by side beside his great-grandfather.

The cool lake breeze blew over the three of them, raising the corners of their flowing clothes.

There was a bit of stickiness and moisture in the air, and there was an indescribable aura between the three of them.

When we reached the small stone path down the slope of the lake, my great-grandfather finally made a move and signaled to stop.

He faced the lake, not knowing where his eyes fell.

"Why are you thinking of leaving the Xu family?" Great-grandfather suddenly asked.

Xu Chuyi knew that he was asking himself, and suddenly felt guilty for no reason, and replied in a low voice.

"I don't know." He paused, as if he thought he was trying to offend his great-grandfather by saying this, and then said, "I did something wrong."

Gu Nian was silent when he heard the words, only his eyes were filled with a bit of heartache.

"What about you?" Great-grandfather asked, "Why don't you want to go back to the Xu family?"

Unlike Xu Chuyi's hesitation, Gu Nian answered immediately. The tone is serious and sincere.

"Because of Xu Chuyi."

"Huh?" Great-grandfather turned back to look at Gu Nian, as if he was not expecting the answer.

"I love him." Xu Chuyi, who was beside him, tugged on Gu Nian's clothes, fearing that the man would say something embarrassing, but Gu Nian just smiled.

He said: "You may think that I am rebellious or pursuing excitement when I say such affectionate words at such a young age and have not yet seen the world. Or I mistook friendship for love."

"But there are some things that you don't know or have experienced, so naturally you don't understand my emotions and state of mind at that time."

Gu Nian lowered his eyes, his eyelashes covering the emotions in his eyes.

"Great-grandfather." Gu Nian called him this for the first time, his tone was sincere and so calm.

"I think I am cold, heartless and withdrawn. The only people in my world are my parents and Xu Chuyi."

Hearing this, the person next to him gently raised Gu Nian's palm. Gu Nian's mouth twisted into a complex smile that was both bitter and sweet.

"Since they passed away, Xu Chuyi is the only one in my world."

Xu Chu subconsciously wanted to refute Gu Nian's words. But then I thought about it, Gu Nian and he were both people with a strong sense of boundaries and distance.

They have a very high definition of ‘one of their own’. Even the Xu family members who are related by blood cannot be divided into their own areas in Gu Nian's heart.

Maybe it takes time, maybe it takes an opportunity to integrate more people into Gu Nian's world.

Xu Chuyi's situation is better. His definition is lower than Gu Nian. Those who have truly helped and cared about us are all ‘our own people’.

So Xu Chuyi's world is full of excitement and happiness, but Gu Nian's world is lonely and deserted, with that one person as the only source of heat.

This was destined to make Gu Nian unable to let go, and he didn't want to let go either.

The words were gradually blown away by the lake breeze, and the three of them remained silent for who knows how long. Great-grandfather let out a long sigh.

With the answer in his mind, he didn't ask any further. "I'm tired, go back."

This time he really felt sleepy and couldn't find the energy to care about other things.

After pushing their great-grandfather back to the room to rest, Xu Chuyi and Gu Nian walked out of the door. When preparing to go down the stairs, Xu Chuyi's legs and feet were hit by something unknown.

The force was not strong, Xu Chuyi's knees bent slightly, and he subconsciously lowered his eyes to look.

On the floor, a little girl of about three or four years old fell. She didn't seem to have recovered yet. She was motionless, like a delicate and beautiful doll placed in the window.

"Does it hurt?" Xu Chuyi squatted down and wanted to pick up the little girl, but was stopped by a maid who ran over in a hurry.

"and many more--"

Xu Chu looked at the servant unconsciously and listened to her explanation.

"The little lady is afraid of strangers and doesn't like the touch of strangers."

After the maid finished speaking, she reached out her hand when she saw that the little girl was still in the same motionless posture.

Before her hand touched it, the little girl seemed to have seen something scary. She avoided the maid's hand and moved towards Xu Chuyi.

The words "fear of being touched by strangers" were thrown away. Xu Chuyi didn't care so much and directly picked up the little girl, patting her back soothingly with his palms.

When the servant saw this scene, he froze in shock.

"Little miss, she is not afraid of you."

The little girl's delicate face was buried in Xu Chuyi's shoulder, without even giving the maid a look.

The hands around his neck tightened a little more. Xu Chu's heart suddenly softened and he coaxed softly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, brother is here."

The originally emotional little girl gradually calmed down in Xu Chuyi's arms.

After coaxing the little girl, Xu Chuyi was distracted and asked: "What's going on?"

The maid looked confused and hesitated for a moment before explaining.

"The little lady didn't want to eat, so I had no choice but to take away her drawing board. I wanted her to concentrate on eating, but the little lady ran out of the room without saying a word."

The maid cried when she talked too much. The little lady is withdrawn and doesn't like to communicate with others. She seems to be suffering from autism.

In the past, the head of the house, Xu Chengxi, fed the food himself. This time maybe she didn't come due to something else, so the errand fell on her.

She took care of the little miss for a long time, but the little miss never said a word to her. She didn't even know how to take care of him.

The maid saw that Xu Chu was kind, but she was afraid that he would misunderstand her, so she told him the matter.

After Xu Chu heard this, he thought for a few seconds.

The delicate doll in his arms is Xu Sitang, the little cousin he has missed for a long time.

I didn't expect that the well-behaved little girl outsiders would be in such a situation.

Xu Chuyi remembered something and probably guessed the reason.

That was five years ago. At that time, the eldest lady of the Tang family was the fiancée of the eldest son of the Xie family when she was young, but later she married Xu Chengxi for unknown reasons.

I heard that it was Xu Chengxi who kept the eldest daughter of the Tang family captive by his side.

The relationship between the two was tense within the marriage, and even reached the point of life-and-death tension.

Two years later, the two divorced. I heard that Xu Chengxi was unwilling to let go, but the eldest lady of the Tang family had to force her with her life to get what she wanted.

The eldest daughter of the Tang family disappeared without a trace after her divorce, and coincidentally, the eldest son of the Xie family also disappeared.

There are rumors in the outside world that the two childhood sweethearts are eloping hand in hand.

This incident involved three major families, and the news was suppressed for a time. No one dared to spread it, and gradually the public forgot about it.

Three years later, just a few months ago, someone secretly sent Xu Sitang back to the Xu family, leaving only two short sentences in a letter.

As for what was specifically written, Xu Chuyi had no way of knowing. Maybe Xu Chengxi was the only person who saw the letter.

For this inexplicable child, the Xu family announced that it was the son of Xu Chengxi's old friend, and expressed her gratitude for adopting her as an adopted daughter.

Xu Chengxi naturally didn't want to, but that person didn't want to be talked about anymore. Xu Chengxi had to compromise and follow Xu's wishes.

Just changed her name to Xu Sitang.

Xu Chuyi only found out these secrets after going out to investigate in order to deal with the Xu family in his previous life.

It's just that at this time in his previous life, he was busy designing the Xu family, so he didn't pay much attention to this little girl, and knew very little about her.

Only then did I remember this when I saw the little girl.
