Chapter 25 part 1

This chapter is for W.T. Thank you so much for supporting me in Kofi.

“I vaguely remember that I lived in Yun City when I was a child. My mother’s name was Wang Xiaoning. But as for everything else. I can’t recall,” Xia Shutong lowered her head, staring at her own toes. “I don’t remember why I was in the Xia family when I arrived here, or what has happened in these years.”

“Grandfather…” Xia Shutong’s fingers clenched her own clothes, and she looked up, meeting Xia Cha’s eyes directly. “Could you tell me?”

“Hahaha…” Xia Cha’s reaction surprised her.

Xia Cha struggled to bend over, laughing heartily for a while before straightening up. “Indeed, you’re my little Tong Tong. Despite being so scared, you dared to ask. Well done, well done.”

Xia Shutong’s tense heart eased.

However, Xia Cha didn’t answer her question. After a while, he spoke slowly, “Well, let’s not beat around the bush. What I mean is simple. If you can’t handle the company due to your memory loss, you can stay by my side for the rest of your life, and I’ll protect you. But if you manage well, then go out and strive. So, Tong Tong, tell me, what do you think?”

The Xia family’s old mansion was large, and at night, it felt strangely empty, evoking an indescribable eerie feeling.

Xia Shutong vaguely recalled that she had indeed lived in this house for a period of time, but as she lay on the bed, an uncontrollable sense of loneliness and discomfort welled up within her.

It was as if… she had cried countless times in this room, on this bed, in complete isolation, to the point where even her body retained the memory.

At two in the morning, Xia Shutong still couldn’t sleep. She decided to open the door and head downstairs to the kitchen for a glass of cold water.

However, as she reached the corner of the stairs on the second floor, her footsteps unconsciously slowed down.

The wall lamp in the downstairs living room was still on, casting a warm yellow light on the wall, creating a blurry shadow. Coupled with faint, rustling sounds, it was a bit unsettling.

A thief? Impossible, the Xia family’s security was always tight.

Holding her breath, Xia Shutong walked quietly downstairs, glancing in the direction of the living room.

The TV in the living room was on, and Xia Hongye lazily lounged on the sofa, holding a red and blue controller, seemingly engrossed in a game.

Xia Shutong’s tense nerves instantly relaxed. She lifted her chin slightly, adopting her usual demeanor towards outsiders, and walked straight towards the kitchen without looking at the living room again.

Xia Shutong had no intention of provoking Xia Hongye. However, as she emerged from the kitchen, she was called out by her gaming-enthusiast sister.

“Hey, why is our little Tong Tong out so late? Can’t sleep and looking for a quiet place to cry?”

Xia Hongye waved the controller in her hand, yawned, and spoke playfully. Coupled with her casual pajamas, she looked like a female ruffian.

Xia Shutong halted her steps.

“Swish.”

Opening the can in her hand, she raised an eyebrow and strode confidently to Xia Hongye, looking down at her.

Xia Hongye recoiled in disgust, “What’s the matter, Little Tong Tong? I haven’t even scolded you yet, and you’re already thinking of splashing water on me? Is your temper getting worse, or are you hitting menopause early? Come on, give me a break.”

Xia Shutong remained silent.

Under Xia Shutong’s icy gaze, Xia Hongye grabbed a throw pillow and held it in front of her defensively, saying resignedly, “Fine, my dad doesn’t pamper me anyway. Go ahead, splash away.”

With a hint of reluctance, she added, “You annoying little sister.”

Suppressing her laughter, Xia Shutong pushed the drink towards Xia Hong Ye and, without saying a word, returned to the kitchen to get another can.

This time, she didn’t rush back. Instead, she stood in the kitchen, looking through the latticed screen at Xia Hongye.

Xia Hongye seemed to have forgotten the little incident just now and enthusiastically immersed herself in the game again, occasionally taking sips of her drink. She seemed carefree, like a carefree recluse.

Xia Shutong remembered from her research that ever since being driven out of the company, Xia Hongye had spent her days doing only two things: indulging in anime and games as a shut-in and teaming up with Xia Yuan Si to target her.

However, unlike Xia Yuansi, Xia Hongye was never afraid of Xia Shutong.

Just like a moment ago, if it were Xia Yuansi, he would probably have been trembling in fear and begging for mercy. Xia Hongye, on the other hand, only shrunk back a little and added a few harsh words.

But Xia Shutong wasn’t really angry. In fact, she found her sister’s behavior somewhat endearing.

After leaving the kitchen, Xia Shutong had originally intended to go straight upstairs. However, she was once again stopped by her shut-in sister.

“Xia Shutong, come here, I have something to tell you.”

This time, Xia Hongye’s expression was serious.

“Speak.” Xia Shutong sat on the sofa armrest, lightly tapping her fingers twice.

“Xia Shutong, about your car accident…”

Xia Shutong’s fingers suddenly halted.

Could it be that even Xia Hongye has realized that I have amnesia?

Completely unaware of Xia Shutong’s anxiety, Xia Hongye continued, “The car accident, was orchestrated by Xia Yuansi.”

Xia Shutong’s pupils dilated.

The mastermind behind the car accident was Xia Yuansi? Her foolish younger brother? How could this be!
