《Transmigrating into Someone Loved by All in a Wealthy Family》 Chapter 1 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°What kind of novel is this? It pisses me off so much!¡± Han Xiang threw her phone away. She felt like her blood pressure was going to rise. She was reading a romance novel about a rich family abusing the protagonist. The protagonist had the same name as her and was the adopted daughter of a rich family. However, her fate took a sudden turn for the worse when she was kidnapped and sold, thus embarking on a tragic and miserable life. However, the novel got even worse. The most ridiculous thing happened afterwards when the protagonist found out that the person who killed her biological parents was the male lead. Once she learned this, she immediately committed suicide due to depression. If she were not curious about the plot of the novel and the fate of the protagonist who shared the same name as her, she definitely would not have stuck with it for this long just to be fed hogwash by the author. Han Xiang fell asleep with the intention of sending the author a nasty review tomorrow. Bang! She was suddenly knocked awake. When she saw that her hands and feet were bound tightly and her mouth was sealed with tape, Han Xiang was instantly scared out of her wits. When did somebody break into her house and kidnap her? At this moment, she was in a speeding car. Her body was curled up in the trunk. She woke up because her head had knocked into the hood of the trunk just now. Wait. Something seemed wrong. Her flat chest and small body indicated that she was a little girl who had just hit puberty. Han Xiang was dumbfounded. This must be a dream, right? She was originally 5 feet and 8 inches. How could she become so small that she had the ability to curl up in a trunk¡­? She felt dizzy. Not long after, Han Xiang fell asleep again. ¡°88,000. That¡¯s the price Old Li recommended.¡± ¡°This girl looks good. Liu Qiang, I don¡¯t know how much you¡¯ve benefited from being able to buy her as your daughter-in-law. She¡¯s definitely worth 100,000!¡± ¡°No way!¡± ¡°Ugh, this is really difficult¡­¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Remember, we¡¯re in the same boat¡­¡± Although she could not open her eyes, Han Xiang had regained consciousness. Hearing the name, Liu Qiang, she quivered. Wasn¡¯t Liu Qiang the perverse guy who committed domestic violence?! He was the man who also bought the protagonist from the novel about the abusive but rich and powerful family, right?! After her body recovered, she touched her body in the dark and finally confirmed that she had probably transmigrated into the book. And she was transmigrated into the book with the cliche drama about the rich and powerful family. It was the one she said was complete shit! This development should be the scene where the protagonist sneaked out at the age of 12 only to be kidnapped by human traffickers and sent to the mountains to become a child bride. Thinking of the encounter after the kidnapping of the protagonist, Han Xiang felt that she did not have as strong a will to live as the protagonist. Sooner or later, she would die. At this time, the people outside the door had already finished their discussion. The door opened with a creak. Han Xiang squinted at the tall man standing against the light. He had dark skin and a square face. It was Liu Qiang. Liu Qiang walked in and looked at Han Xiang, who did not dare to move. He untied the rope on her legs and dragged her away. The man was too rough. The 12-year-old Han Xiang could only stagger behind him. She was obedient and quiet. This was because she remembered that the Han Xiang in the book was noisy and irritating. She was slapped by Liu Qiang a few times before she became obedient. The two of them walked out of the small courtyard. There was an electric tricycle parked at the door. It would be difficult to escape once they got in the car. The tall man was looking at her with a strange look. Seeing that she did not escape, he squatted down and put her hand on her shoulder. He asked, ¡°Your clothes are quite expensive, right? Who bought them for you?¡± Han Xiang remembered the arrogant reply of the protagonist in the book, and Liu Qiang seemed to have a tendency to hate the rich, so she answered obediently, ¡°Some kind people bought them for me. They said that I¡¯m a good student.¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t your parents buy them for you?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have a father and mother.¡± Liu Qiang was very satisfied with this answer. He grabbed Han Xiang and was about to tie her to the tricycle. Han Xiang quickly shouted, ¡°Mister, let me sit. I¡¯ll be good.¡± However, Liu Qiang glanced at her again and still tied her hand to the railing of the box. Then, he covered her with a plastic tarp. Han Xiang could not go far on this rural road. If she wanted to escape, she had to find a chance to survive during this period of time. There were a few bags of wheat piled in the cart of the tricycle. There were no usable tools. Finally, she found a right-angled welding joint on the cart railing that was tied to the rope. Han Xiang used her feet to step on it and began to work on wearing off the rope by rubbing it back and forth using her feet. Finally, when Han Xiang¡¯s hands were wounded and bleeding because of the excessive force, a part of the rope was finally torn. Han Xiang took this opportunity to quickly pull away her hands. Was it still too late to jump out of the cart? Through the plastic tarp, Han Xiang saw the road that was flying across the ground. She was a little scared. If she jumped down like this, she would either die or be crippled, right? At this moment, the silhouette of a car appeared behind her. She had to let the driver see her! Han Xiang did not think about anything else. She quickly and arduously untied the tarp as she did her best not to be heard by Liu Qiang. Seeing that the jeep in the distance was getting closer, Han Xiang quickly climbed to the front of the cart and tried her best to untie the remaining knots on the tarp. When the tarp flew up, Liu Qiang had already noticed that something was wrong from the side mirror. He turned around and immediately cursed, ¡°Damn it! That little bastard¡­.¡± Chapter 2 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Liu Qiang was about to step on the brakes to deal with Han Xiang when he saw that the blue plastic tarp had already left the car and was flying towards the rear. However, he did not expect that the tarp would actually cover the window of the jeep, that was flying towards him, the very next second. The jeep driver instantly lost all vision and the vehicle became difficult to control. Coincidentally, Liu Qiang stepped on the brakes in the middle of the road at the same time. After the brakes screeched, the jeep twisted a few times and crashed straight towards Liu Qiang. Under the massive impact, the tricycle was knocked a few meters away. A small figure was thrown out from the back of the car, and crashed into the ridge below the roadside. After a bout of dizziness, Han Xiang stood up. Miraculously, she was only slightly injured. The jeep and tricycle not far away were both in a bad state. Han Xiang first ran to the jeep. The driver¡¯s head was bleeding, and he was laying unconscious on the steering wheel. The young man in the back seat had also fainted. He had probably hit his head as well, She went in through the window, took out the young man¡¯s cell phone, and called the emergency services. Things developed faster than Han Xiang thought. First, the emergency services arrived and rescued the two people stuck in the car. Then, they detained Han Xiang and Liu Qiang and waited for the police to arrive. By the time Han Xiang¡¯s parents arrived, three hours had already passed. Liu Qiang was temporarily detained, and the police began investigating the matter. The beautiful woman who had jogged all the way here cried the moment she saw Han Xiang. The man beside her sighed and comforted the woman who was hugging Han Xiang. She had nearly fainted from crying so much. When they were checking Han Xiang¡¯s injuries in the car, the woman shed tears again. This was Han Xiang¡¯s foster mother, Ms. Yang Su, and the man, who accompanied her, was her foster father, Han Zheng, the chairman of the Han Corporation. Despite everything that had happened, Han Xiang still found it hard to accept that she could transmigrate into a book this easily. She tried hard to recall the details of the Han family in the book she had read. Now that she was a 12 year old girl again, how was she supposed to act? Since she was in this position, she had to try her best to fit in. Han Xiang lowered her head and apologized softly, ¡°Mom¡­ I was wrong. I made you sad. I¡¯m sorry.¡± Unexpectedly, after hearing Han Xiang¡¯s words, Ms. Yang Su cried even more. She hugged Han Xiang tightly and said, ¡°Our baby has suffered a lot. She has become sensible now.¡± Heartache laced her words and she sobbed loudly. When she returned to the Han family¡¯s mansion, she saw all kinds of near inhumanly impossible decorations, a vast garden, and beautiful and magnificent buildings that she remembered were described in the book. Han Xiang was dumbfounded. In such a good environment, the original protagonist still made a fuss about things and ran away from home every day! Screw being an adopted daughter, Han Xiang was willing to just be a servant here. Mrs. Yang Su held her hand all the way and arranged for her to sit on the sofa in the living room. She said that she would personally cook to celebrate Han Xiang¡¯s safe return home. Looking at the chaos in the kitchen between Yang Su and the maids, Han Xiang was filled with anticipation for her future. Ms. Yang Su was just as was described in the book. She was both protective and sweet. Before Han Xiang could finish admiring the luxurious living room, a boy who looked like a high school student suddenly appeared beside her. At this moment, his face was filled with displeasure and and irritation. This seemed to be Han Xiang¡¯s second brother, Han Qi. ¡°I will remember that you pulled pranks to deliberately make mom sad. I warn you, you better be honest, or I will not be nice to you.¡± ¡°What pranks¡­¡± Han Xiang was a little confused. The boy in front of her was still glaring at her fiercely. ¡°Don¡¯t pretend to be a good person! I told you, it¡¯s fine if you act like a spoilt little princess, but this time¡­¡± Before Han Qi could finish, Yang Su suddenly leaned over and asked, ¡°Baby, do you want to have a strawberry milkshake?¡± ¡°Uh, yes! Thank you, mom!¡± Under Han Qi¡¯s threatening gaze, Han Xiang obediently responded to Yang Su. Han Qi paused in surprise and then said loudly, ¡°Sister, dad wants you to come to his study.¡± Under Han Qi¡¯s watchful eye, Han Xiang was forced to go all the way to Han Zheng¡¯s study on the second floor. Before opening the door, Han Qi glared at her fiercely and then left. What was going on? Why was her second brother so hostile towards her? After Han Xiang finished chatting with her adoptive father, Han Zheng, she finally understood the current situation. She could not help but feel pain in her heart. ¡°Oh my God! Why is the protagonist doing this?¡± Her adoptive mother, Yang Su, and her adoptive father, Han Zheng, were very loving. Yang Su had a difficult time when she gave birth to their third son, Han Yang. Therefore, they were unable to have children from then on. Yang Su really wanted a daughter, but the first three children were all boys, so she adopted a five-year-old girl from the Welfare Institute and named her Han Xiang.. Chapter 3 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Yang Su doted on her adopted daughter very much, treating her as her own. Unfortunately, Little Han Xiang had grown up in a welfare home environment, and her character had many flaws. After she began to receive true love from a family, she became even more arrogant, unreasonable, and capricious. The only things she knew how to do were to eat, drink, and have fun¡­ she also did not seek improvement, and became the laughingstock of the aristocratic circle in S City. Han Xiang was in her second year of junior high school at the age of 12. Not only were her grades at the bottom of the class, but she also often played truant. Her reputation was very bad. In the Han family, other than the truly innocent and sweet Ms. Yang Su, no one actually liked her. They were all wary of her, afraid that she would do something weird or stupid. The reason Han Zheng wanted to talk to Han Xiang was to test her attitude. If she did not want to study at school, she might as well ask for private tutoring at home. She did not need to play truant to go out and cause trouble, making Yang Su sad. Originally, he wanted to let his useless adoptive daughter go to private tutoring once and for all. However, who knew that Han Xiang would reject his offer after listening to him. His adoptive daughter, who usually didn¡¯t seek to improve herself, now stood upright in front of Han Zheng and said, ¡°Dad, don¡¯t worry. I will study hard. I won¡¯t let you down!¡± ¡®What a joke. What else can I do if I don¡¯t study hard at twelve years old? I love studying!¡¯ Han Xiang thought indignantly. The original Han Xiang from the real world had received excellent compulsory education in the 21st century. She was very obsessed with studying. Han Zheng had nothing to say as he watched the newly ambitious Han Xiang leave the study room. As soon as Han Xiang left the room, she was ambushed by her second brother, Han Qi. Han Qi was only fifteen or sixteen years old. But he was already 5¡¯10¡±. At this moment, he blocked her way and asked fiercely, ¡°What kind of teacher did dad arrange for you? Did you agree to being tutored?!¡± Han Xiang was helpless. She did not understand why this boy would always employ such a fierce tone to talk to her. She recalled the identity of the second brother of the original heroine. He was a student of the top key high school in S City. That was quite impressive. ¡°No, I want to study hard and go to the same high school as you. Also, if you want to talk to me; you can be gentler. If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll leave first!¡± Han Xiang said these two sentences gently, but it was like a bolt of lightning that struck Han Qi. What was this new version of Han Xiang?! This girl had always been rude and did not seek to become better in any way, shape or form! How did her temperament suddenly change? Her grades were terrible, and yet she still wanted to take the exam to be eligible to get into Chongde High School? At the dining table, only her adoptive father, Han Zheng, second brother, Han Qi, and adoptive mother, Yang Su, were present. Han Xiang once again announced her thoughts to everyone: she wanted to study hard and get into Chongde. Both father and son had very subtle negative feelings about it, so Yang Su was the only one who was happy to hear it. ¡°It¡¯s true. My baby is really amazing. She¡¯s getting more and more sensible. I¡¯m so happy.¡± Therefore, with Yang Su¡¯s strong support, Han Xiang could return to school next Monday and pursue her dream. Lying on the comfortably large bed, Han Xiang felt that being the daughter of a wealthy family was really great. With endless money, a mother who doted on her, and luxurious living conditions, all while being at this age full of hope and possibility, as well as the overwhelming aura and beauty of the protagonist, it was hard not to reach the peak of life! Han Xiang thought about it well. First, she would make her family love her, and in the future, she would live a more comfortable life. Then, she would work hard to study, and then she would take the entrance exam to Peking University, which she did not dare to dream of in her previous life. It was simply wonderful! On the second day at home, Han Xiang received the news that Liu Qiang and the others had confessed to their crimes and were brought to justice. In that case, the fate of the protagonist of the original book had already been changed. She was now walking on a brand-new path. The original book did not describe much about Han Xiang¡¯s wealthy family before she was twelve years old. Han Xiang could only rely on her instincts and educated guesses to eliminate the bad influence brought about by the original protagonist as much as possible. Han Xiang first obediently accompanied Yang Su to water the flowers, chat, and go shopping. She did not go out to hang out with her scoundrel friends. Yang Su¡¯s happiness skyrocketed, indicating that she felt the warmth Han Xiang was trying to convey. Then, when Han Zheng was at home, she took the initiative to make tea, cut him fruits, and read books with him. She looked like an obedient girl. Han Zheng¡¯s attitude also became gentle. The most he said was, ¡°You¡¯re starting to understand things.¡± As for Han Qi, who was in high school, and Han Yang, who was in junior high school, Han Xiang¡¯s attitude had also changed from the usual tit for tat way of dealing with things. She had become a cute and obedient sister. Even when she was being mocked, she would still smile, causing the two brothers to feel embarrassed. Thus in turn, they began to display a gentlemanly demeanor towards Han Xiang. Under the nervous and suspicious gazes of everyone except Yang Su, Han Xiang finally ushered in her first day of school.. Chapter 4 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Everyone believed that Han Xiang could still surprise them and dazzle them with her achievements. When Han Xiang sat in her seat and began to quietly pack up her books, one of her former friends came over. ¡°Xiang, are you going to look for Ying today? I heard that he came by with a new motorcycle. It¡¯s so cool.¡± The original protagonist had skipped class all day and it turned out that she was actually using that time to go and watch automobile races! Han Xiang sighed and said to her friend, ¡°I have to study hard. I won¡¯t skip class in the future.¡± ¡°Ah? Uh¡­¡± Seeing that Han Xiang had become expressionless, the friend tactfully left. The junior high school that Han Xiang attended was a famous aristocratic school in S City. Her third brother, Han Yang, was also studying here. However, he was in the top class in the third year. However, when it came to high school, the best key high school in S City, Chongde, could not be entered by simply paying the fees nor by bribing school officials. One had to rely on their hard earned grades to get in. Even if the children were forced into Chongde, the children with poor grades would definitely not be able to keep up with the curriculum. Han Zheng and Yang Su had not considered this side of things at all. After all, it was already difficult for Han Xiang, whose grades were at the bottom, to simply get into an ordinary high school. How on Earth would she manage to get into the top key high school, Chongde, at this rate? Han Xiang spent the whole morning studying seriously. The syllabus in junior high school was very simple. Although it was slightly different from her world, it was not far from what she had learnt. After scanning through the contents of the entire junior high school textbook in the morning, Han Xiang came to the classroom of her third brother, Han Yang. After hearing Han Xiang¡¯s invitation to have dinner together, Han Yang¡¯s expression became a little strange. However, when he saw Han Xiang blinking her big eyes and looking cute, he couldn¡¯t reject her. Therefore, when the two of them walked to the cafeteria, many people who knew them were shocked. ¡°Hey, look, don¡¯t those two siblings hate each other? Why are they walking together today?¡± ¡°They also seem to be having jovial conversation. Oh my God! Doesn¡¯t Han Yang hate Han Xiang?!¡± ¡°She¡¯s an adopted daughter who brought so much shame to her own family. Who wouldn¡¯t hate her?¡± Han Xiang smoothly took her food and sat down. While eating, she chatted with Han Yang. The favor of her two older brothers was the easiest to gain. Through her perseverance over the past few days, Han Yang could now talk and laugh with her naturally. However, there was a strange sound around them. ¡°Wow, the adopted daughter of the Han family is sitting with the young master. That¡¯s something you don¡¯t see everyday!¡± ¡°Does a person like her deserve to eat with us?¡± ¡°She actually came to class today. That¡¯s strange.¡± Students who could attend this particular school were more or less from richest and most powerful families in S City. At this moment, the ones who spoke behind Han Xiang¡¯s back were a group of rich girls. Although these people¡¯s families were not as rich as the Han family, they were still some of the wealthiest families in S City. Han Xiang, who grew up in a pampered environment despite being an orphan, naturally became their target. Han Yang, who was sitting next to her, also heard these words. His body stiffened for a moment, but he still pretended to continue eating as if nothing had happened. This was the trouble caused by being involved with Han Xiang. Han Xiang pondered for a moment and pretended not to hear it. She tried to find a topic to make Han Yang feel better. If it was any other time, Han Xiang would have already quarreled with this group of rich girls. However, Han Yang did not seem to be in a good mood. No matter how much Han Xiang teased him, he was unhappy. He quickly finished his meal and excused himself. In the afternoon¡¯s math class, Han Xiang took an Olympiad math book and read it with great interest. In her previous life, she was a science student. She was very good at solving Olympiad math problems and quickly immersed herself in the fun of learning. The middle-aged female teacher with a ponytail on the podium saw Han Xiang in the back row with her head lowered. She knocked on the podium and said, ¡°Han Xiang! Come up and solve this problem.¡± The female teacher was very strict, but Han Xiang had never listened to her lectures, so watching Han Xiang¡¯s jokes in math class became a classic stress reliever for Class 205. Some of the students in the class had already laughed, and some were still betting on what would happen to Han Xiang. ¡°Will Han Xiang be punished this time by being made to stand up or will she be made to write lines?¡±. Han Xiang was a little confused. She stood up and glanced at the questions on the blackboard. Then, she quietly walked up to the stage and began to solve the questions. Looking at the delicate handwriting on the blackboard, everyone¡¯s expressions started to become puzzled. Whenever Han Xiang was called up to solve the questions, the blackboard was always left empty. No one had even seen Han Xiang¡¯s handwriting on the blackboard before. When she finished writing and left the stage, everyone in the class, including the female teacher, were stunned. The female teacher was originally explaining a final question, but she never thought that Han Xiang would be able to do it. This question was one that hardly even the top students in the class got right. ¡°Hmm¡­ Han Xiang¡¯s problem-solving process is completely correct.¡± The middle-aged female teacher looked at the teaching materials, and the anger that she originally felt toward Han Xiang had mostly subsided. At this moment, a voice came from the class, ¡°Did Han Xiang copy the answer? The problem-solving process is the same as reference answer 3!¡± Chapter 5 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Han Xiang took a look and saw that the person who spoke was Wang Meng, one of the daughters of a rich family, who was talking about her in the afternoon. Wang Meng was the top student in the class. She didn¡¯t even manage to solve this final question, but this devil, Han Xiang, who was at the bottom of the class, managed to do it. How was that possible? Everyone present compared the reference answers in the book. Han Xiang¡¯s solution was indeed close to the answer, and she used the help line to solve the question. Han Xiang remembered that in junior high school mathematics, there were very few people who used the help line to solve the questions. It was almost a coincidence that it was in the reference answers. No wonder people suspected it. Thus, under everyone¡¯s gaze, Han Xiang smiled sweetly and raised her hand to signal the teacher. ¡°Teacher, since everyone doesn¡¯t understand, I can explain it to them.¡± Then, under Han Xiang¡¯s clear instructions and sweet voice, everyone understood the concept and was dumbstruck. Was this the ignorant Han Xiang? Didn¡¯t she skip classes every day, never study, and was at the bottom of the class? How did she know how to do it? Wang Meng was also dumbfounded and stopped making things difficult for her for a moment. Even when school was over, Han Xiang¡¯s little friend from her former gang also came over in surprise. ¡°Not bad, Xiang! How did you do it!¡± Han Xiang glanced at him and was very dissatisfied with the title ¡°Xiang¡±. It sounded like a mafia boss¡¯s codename whichever way one looked at it. She was a well-behaved junior high school student! ¡°You can call me Han Xiang or Xiang Xiang. Change the way you address me.¡± The friend nodded and continued to look at Han Xiang with admiration. The friend was called Lu Huai. He was a chubby little boy. His family was in the automobile business. Although he was rich, the young master Lu Huai admired all kinds of ¡°rebellious¡± behaviors. Therefore when he had first seen the original protagonist of the book act out in an undisciplined manner, he could not help but be drawn to her. Thus, he became her loyal sidekick. After seeing Lu Huai get into the flashy sports car with the Ultraman logo painted on it, Han Xiang felt a little melancholic for a moment. She could not figure out what was in the minds of these junior high school students. Two junior high school students who were not even tall enough to reach the top shelves in the library were actually interested in all kinds of rebellious behaviors? After getting into the limousine at home, the driver poked his head out and said, ¡°Miss, the third young master said to let you go first.¡± Huh? Han Xiang felt a little puzzled. After thinking for a moment, she suddenly remembered that the Han Xiang in the past would never return home on time. Most of the time after school, she would still be outside. In other words, this car was not actually here to pick her up. It was originally here to pick Han Yang Up. Han Yang did not want to ride in the same car with her. Was it because he felt embarrassed? Teenage children had such weird thoughts! Han Xiang did not insist. She let the driver take her to the mall. The original owner¡¯s taste and preferences were a little odd. No wonder, growing up, she was looked down upon by her relatives after she was found by her rich parents. After all, who would think that a girl who liked to dress up as a punk with heavy makeup was actually a princess from a rich family? She picked up a pile of clothes from the counter, grabbed some cosmetics, and went to the bookstore to buy a whole set of high school teaching aids. Although she used to study well, it had been a while since she had used her study skills. She still needed to brush up on them! The next day, the students saw a young and sweet Han Xiang wearing a pleated skirt, leather shoes, a white puff-sleeve top, with her hair in a ponytail. After combing her hair, Han Xiang¡¯s exquisite facial features and smooth face were revealed. In the past, one couldn¡¯t tell if Han Xiang looked good or not because of the heavy punk-style makeup she wore. However, now that she no longer wore such makeup, her big eyes, naturally long eyelashes, and her soft, rosy cheeks were revealed. With her new look, she became the school¡¯s belle overnight. All the students were amazed. Han Xiang was still smiling benignly on the surface, but in her heart, she was very pleased with the amazement of her classmates. As long as she used her advantage rationally, along with a little scheming, she could crush this group of ignorant junior high school students and rise to the top. After studying for the whole morning, Han Xiang still came by Han Yang¡¯s classroom door to wait for him to have dinner together. In order to make him like her, she understood that naturally, the thicker her skin was, the easier it was to make him like her through organic means. Han Yang did not recognize his ¡°gangster¡± sister, Han Xiang. The little girl in front of him was standing upright and was staring at him with her big, bright eyes. When he walked up to Han Xiang, he was still in a daze. Han Xiang naturally handed the book to him and smoothed her hair. ¡°I¡¯ve been looking forward to having lunch with you since the morning.¡± Han Yang was not used to Han Xiang¡¯s change and stuttered, ¡°Ah¡­really?¡± Then Han Xiang immediately asked, ¡°Why did you leave first yesterday? Is it because you dislike me?¡± Chapter 6 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Looking at the girl¡¯s long eyelashes, Han Yang was stunned for a moment before he heard what she was saying. He did not want to be seen with Han Xiang because he was afraid of being laughed at by his classmates. The way his classmates spoke about Han Xiang always made Han Yang feel very embarrassed. They mocked Han Xiang for being different from regular people. It was as if they were mocking the Han family. But¡­ Han Xiang was only his adopted sister, not his biological one. However, his good upbringing would not allow Han Yang to speak out his innermost thoughts. He only shook his head slightly and replied, ¡°No, I was delayed by some matters yesterday.¡± Although Han Xiang was very sure she was right about the real reason, she did not expose the truth. The lingering influence left behind by the original protagonist had to be corrected bit by bit. At least now Han Yang was willing to eat and chat with her, right? After they sat down and started eating, the rich girls around them all fell silent. Then, some whispers arose. ¡°Ah? Is that Han Xiang? Doesn¡¯t she wear her ripped jeans anymore?¡± ¡°Did she have plastic surgery? She¡¯s become prettier.¡± ¡°Her lips are so cute¡­¡± ¡°They look even better than Feifei¡¯s, right?¡± Hmm? Who was Feifei? Han Xiang nibbled on her chopsticks. She had a vague recollection of this name in her mind. Then, a beautiful girl suddenly appeared in front of her. She had an oval face, arched eyebrows, and round eyes. She was a beauty. The beautiful girl ignored Han Xiang and sat opposite Han Yang. Her voice was gentle and soothing. ¡°Han Yang, there are some documents at the broadcasting station that I don¡¯t know how to organize. Can you help me?¡± At this moment, Han Xiang remembered that this was the opponent that the protagonist would meet later on. She would grow up to be the top female celebrity in the entertainment industry, Yan Fei. However, at this moment, in the eyes of the junior high school students, the beautiful and elegant Yan Fei could not be compared to the cute and pure Han Xiang. Han Yang only thought for a moment before he agreed. ¡°Okay, okay.¡± Yan Fei¡¯s smile immediately became bright and beautiful. Even her expression towards Han Xiang became benign. When Han Yang stood up, he waved at Han Xiang. ¡°I¡¯m leaving.¡± The young girl immediately waved her hand in response. Her smile was sweet, and her eyes were shiny. She said to him, ¡°Goodbye, I¡¯ll wait for you after school.¡± After the two of them left, Han Xiang continued to eat slowly, but her heart could not calm down. Yan Fei¡¯s life was perfect. Not only was her appearance, wealth, and education top notch, but her EQ was also high, and she had many tricks up her sleeves. To be able to climb to the top of the entertainment industry, she was definitely not someone Han Xiang could trifle with. Since she couldn¡¯t trifle with her, couldn¡¯t she retreat? Yan Fei temporarily snatched Han Yang away. Although she interrupted Han Xiang¡¯s plans to make Han Yang like her, in order not to be played a fool by Yan Fei, it was still necessary to temporarily retreat. In the afternoon class, the little fatty, Lu Huai, who had slept through the whole morning, began to harass Han Xiang. From time to time, he would throw a small ball of paper over and then wink at Han Xiang. He picked up a random piece of paper, and on it were a few words reading, ¡°Oink oink, I¡¯m a fatty!¡± and next to it was a drawing of a little pig. Even Han Xiang, who was 12 years old and had an adult soul in her twenties, could not help but laugh. After Lu Huai discovered that Han Xiang had become gentle, he became bolder and bolder. Not only did he become more talkative, he even dared to break the rules in class and throw the paper. At this moment, the biology teacher on the podium was preparing their homework. When she saw the little fatty who was winking at her and Han Xiang who was smiling brightly, she felt a headache coming. ¡°Han Xiang, Lu Huai, the two of you come to my office after class.¡± The students in the class immediately turned around and looked like they were watching a good show. Usually, when Han Xiang was called out by the teacher, she would go against the teacher. The teachers never did anything because the Han family was powerful and so they did not dare be too strict. Therefore, allowing Han Xiang to cause chaos in the class as she pleased. The little fatty, Lu Huai, tugged on Han Xiang¡¯s sleeve nervously and advised, ¡°Xiang¡­ Ah no, Xiang Xiang, you must calm down. Impulsiveness is the devil.¡± Lu Huai¡¯s parents were very strict. If the teacher informed his parents this time, he would be spanked when he went home. Once they entered the office, the little fatty¡¯s legs began to tremble. Who knew that the first person to speak was Han Xiang. ¡°Teacher, I¡¯m sorry, I was wrong.¡± The little fatty reacted very quickly and immediately added, ¡°Teacher, I also know that I was wrong!¡± As he said this, Lu Huai¡¯s eyes widened as he looked at Han Xiang in disbelief. He originally thought that it would be another difficult and long-winded battle. The biology teacher had prepared a whole speech to educate the stubborn Han Xiang. Who knew that these two would admit their mistakes faster than they could be berated? The biology teacher had nothing more to say. Han Xiang continued to explain, ¡°I thought that I would only joke with Lu Huai after class had ended. I have already realized my mistake. It won¡¯t be like this in the future. Please forgive me, teacher.¡± The originally arrogant and rebellious Han Xiang had apologized to the teacher first? The surrounding teachers who were seated pricked up their ears to listen. which teacher would not have a headache when it came to this ¡°problematic student¡±, Han Xiang. Then, when they heard Han Xiang promise that she would do well in the monthly exam on Friday and improve together with Lu Huai, all the teachers were shocked.. Chapter 7 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After Han Xiang walked away, the teachers in the office gathered together. ¡°Hey, why did Han Xiang suddenly¡­?¡± ¡°Did the Han family change the way they treated her? This child has changed so much.¡± ¡°Yeah, she¡¯s been very serious in class recently. She even answers my questions now.¡± ¡°She even handed in her homework several times in a row for the first time.¡± It was no wonder that the teachers were shocked. Every time Han Xiang had an attitude, the teachers would contact her mother, Yang Su. However, Yang Su only had one way of dealing with the issue. She would brush it aside by saying, ¡°As long as my daughter is happy, it¡¯s fine. It doesn¡¯t affect others. Please don¡¯t restrict my child¡¯s nature.¡±. Ultimately no action would be taken. In the class, the news that Han Xiang had promised the teacher that she would do well in the monthly exam had already spread. The class was in a heated discussion, and Wang Meng¡¯s voice was the loudest. ¡°I don¡¯t believe that this horrible student can do well in the exam!¡± As soon as Han Xiang appeared, the entire class fell silent, afraid that Han Xiang would grab onto Wang Meng and beat her up. However, Han Xiang was expressionless. As she pulled the little fatty past Wang Meng¡¯s seat, she glanced at the exercise book on Wang Meng¡¯s desk. ¡°Wang Meng, this question isn¡¯t solved this way. This is not the answer. You can do it like this instead.¡± Then, Wang Meng blushed and sat in her seat, scratching her head as she watched Han Xiang solve it for her. When she returned to her seat, Lu Huai was already panicking. ¡°What should I do? You bragged to the teacher that you would make us both do well in the monthly exam!¡± Han Xiang almost laughed out of anger. She took the little fatty¡¯s workbook and realized that although Lu Huai¡¯s results were slightly better than the original Han Xiang¡¯s, he was still hovering near the failing mark. After teaching Lu Huai for an entire afternoon, the little fatty was a completely new student. After listening to so many teachers and not having any luck, he was able to understand Han Xiang¡¯s explanation. He also expressed that he wanted to go see Han Xiang for tutoring over the weekend. Lu Huai was filled with enthusiasm for his studies because he told Han Xiang that his father had promised to buy him the limited-edition Ultraman figurine that he yearned for as long as he got at least 80 points in each subject. After bidding farewell to the little fatty, Lu Huai, Han Xiang got into the car and waited for Han Yang to come over. The moment Han Yang opened the door, he saw a smiling Han Xiang greeting him sweetly. ¡°Hi, how do you feel this afternoon?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Han Yang answered very briefly, but in his heart, he was thinking that Yan Fei had kept him busy for half a day and delayed him from going back to study. He would not help her next time. On the way in the car, he chatted with Han Yang about interesting things in school. The atmosphere was so happy that Uncle Liu, the driver in front, revealed a smile. When they entered the main door of the Han family¡¯s villa, they saw Yang Su waiting at the door. Han Xiang had a good impression of the adoptive mother in the book who had always doted on her daughter. In fact, Han Xiang¡¯s current happy life was entirely due to Yang Su¡¯s protection. However, the original protagonist, Han Xiang, did not know how to cherish it until her fate was changed and she was taken to the mountains, only then did she realize her adoptive mother¡¯s love for her. Yang Su first ruffled Han Yang¡¯s hair, then caught Han Xiang who had rushed over to hug her. The little girl in her arms kept acting coquettishly. ¡°Mom, I missed you so much!¡± ¡°Aww, I missed you too. My baby is so beautiful today. How are you doing at school?¡± Ever since Han Xiang¡¯s had grown up, Yang Su had not seen her daughter acting coquettishly. She was surprised and happy, and her tone was even gentler. She was afraid that her daughter would return to her original self. The mother and daughter went all the way to the kitchen. Han Xiang heard that her second brother, Han Qi, would come back early today to have dinner together. She said that she would make a cake for everyone to try. When Han Qi returned home with his schoolbag, all he heard was his mother and sister¡¯s childish dialogue in the kitchen. ¡°Baby, you knew how to do this? It¡¯s amazing!¡± ¡°Hehe, I¡¯ve always wanted to show you my skills, mom.¡± ¡°Shall we add something next to this little bear?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll add another little bear, this is me, this is¡­¡± Upon hearing Han Qi¡¯s return, Han Xiang poked her head out of the kitchen and greeted, ¡°You¡¯re back! I¡¯ve prepared a surprise for you!¡± Han Qi, who was overwhelmed by the favor, patted Han Yang, who was watching TV. He was a little flustered by the scene and asked, ¡°What did Han Xiang do this time? Why is she suddenly so enthusiastic?¡± Han Yang gradually got used to Han Xiang¡¯s change and replied, ¡°She¡¯s been like this recently. At school, she¡¯s started performing better. I even heard that she was praised by the teacher.¡± ¡°Huh? Could it be that she bribed the teacher to put on an act for everyone to see?¡± Han Yang shook his head and did not say anything else. When the dishes were served and the three of them sat down, Han Xiang and the maid worked together to take out a big cake from the kitchen. On the cake, there was a picture of a bear family, two big ones and four small ones. They looked very innocent. Just as she was about to cut the cake with a knife and share it with everyone, Yang Su suddenly choked up. Han Qi and Han Yang were still in a daze. Han Xiang immediately hugged Yang Su and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Why are you crying? Don¡¯t cry, don¡¯t cry.¡± Yang Su shed tears, but she laughed instead. ¡°This is my baby¡¯s first time making a cake for her family. I¡¯m so touched.¡± Sigh, just what kind of horrible child was the original protagonist to cause a beautiful mother to be like this? Chapter 8 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Han Xiang sincerely apologized on behalf of the original protagonist, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, it was my fault in the past. I always made you worry, mom; it won¡¯t be like this in the future. Mom, don¡¯t cry, I will treat you very, very well in the future.¡± Time flew by and it was Friday. With Han Xiang¡¯s efforts, everyone around believed in Han Xiang¡¯s determination to ¡°change from being evil and return to the good side¡±, but they were still full of doubts as to whether this was all a temporary fa?ade and Han Xiang would go back to being a brat after a little while. Han Xiang said, ¡°This monthly exam will show the results of my hard work.¡±. The Han Xiang from the real world was quite smart and had studied her way up to receive a Master¡¯s degree. Doing well in a junior high school exam was no problem for her. However, the problem lay with bringing Lu Huai¡¯s grades up. In order to support him, she sacrificed her free time during the weekend to tutor him. Yang Su was very happy when she heard that Han Xiang had friends coming over to study together. After all, this was the first time that Han Xiang had brought her friends home. She had prepared many snacks and games that the children would like. She was also a little afraid that Han Xiang would not be satisfied if she didn¡¯t go to these lengths. When a pink sports car stopped in front of the Han residence, Lu Huai, jumped out of the car and quickly approached Han Xiang. He lowered his voice and said, ¡°My mom heard that I was coming over to your house and insisted on coming over to take a look.¡± Then, Han Xiang saw a woman wearing sunglasses and a long dress get out of the car. She quickly greeted her, ¡°Hello aunty!¡± The woman smiled and rubbed Han Xiang¡¯s face. ¡°Xiang Xiang has become prettier.¡± Yang Su also saw Lu Huai and was surprised. ¡°Ah, Lu Huai!¡± Then, Yang Su walked up and grabbed the woman¡¯s wrist. ¡°Why? Are you worried about Lu Huai coming over to my house?¡± ¡°No, I heard that this kid is going to study. I used to always wonder what I could do to get him to study but, in the end, all we had to do was get Xiang Xiang to tutor him.¡± Han Xiang was a little confused. She only knew that the little fatty¡¯s family was very rich, but she did not expect the two families¡¯ parents to know each other and have a pretty good relationship with each other. The little fatty felt a little wronged. He complained in a low voice, ¡°I wanted to tell you before, but you told me to shut up.¡± ¡°This¡­¡± Han Xiang finally understood. The original protagonist, Han Xiang¡¯s loyal ¡°sidekick,¡± Lu Huai, actually became her friend because her adoptive mother, Yang Su, knew his mother. She tried her best to let Han Xiang live happily and freely. She even got her friends to get their children to befriend Han Xiang. This deep maternal love was something that Han Xiang, who had once been separated from her parents, had never experienced before. Sigh, if the original protagonist wasn¡¯t so self-destructive, she would be able to see what a lovely life she had right in front of her. After a morning of studying, the little fatty, Lu Huai already felt that he had already gotten his hands on the global limited-edition Ultraman figurine. After eating lunch, he reluctantly waved goodbye to Han Xiang. Lu Huai¡¯s mother also took Yang Su away, saying that they were going to get their hair done together. Han Xiang stretched and wanted to stretch. Then, she saw Han Qi playing basketball in the yard. Playing basketball together could also promote their relationship, right? Han Xiang combed her hair into a ponytail, took a ball, and walked toward Han Qi. Han Qi saw Han Xiang walking over from afar, and he had a bad feeling. Sure enough, he heard Han Xiang call out to him, ¡°Hey, let¡¯s play together.¡± Han Qi still couldn¡¯t forget the time he had quarreled with Han Xiang. The little girl had pressed him to the ground and hammered him. He was the older brother, and therefore, he couldn¡¯t fight back, so he could only be forced to take a beating. After that, he was scolded by Yang Su. He was afraid of this demonic child now. ¡°No, you¡¯re too short. Don¡¯t say that I¡¯m bullying you.¡± Seeing that Han Xiang had been performing well during this period of time, Han Qi was rather amiable. Han Xiang did not say anything. She walked to the side and began to warm up. She was going to play anyway. The Han Xiang from the real world used to be on the university basketball team. So, she was used to playing basketball. After a short while, Han Qi threw the ball. The ball hit the backboard and slanted. It spun around the basket and fell to the ground with a bang. However, he heard the girl behind him chuckle. Then, a ball drew a perfect curve and smashed into the basket. It was a beautiful three-pointer. ¡°How about it? Do you want to compete?¡± Han Qi looked back. The girl¡¯s forehead was wet with sweat, but she looked at him with a smile. She was a little provocative. It was a look that he had never seen before. This look was quite likable. She used to look very arrogant, as if she had a grudge against everyone. ¡°Sure, one minute. Let¡¯s see who can shoot the most,¡± Han Qi agreed readily. Han Xiang walked to the side and signaled for Han Qi to start. Han Qi shot 20 shots in one minute. He thought that he could not embarrass Han Xiang too much, so he deliberately let a few shots go. When it was Han Xiang¡¯s turn, she moved a little, then gave Han Qi a sly look and started shooting. Although Han Xiang was short, she was agile and light. The original protagonist probably also exercised a lot. Han Xiang was quite satisfied. The point shooting mainly depended on skill. Therefore, in one minute, she made 21 shots, narrowly beating Han Qi by one point. When Han Xiang started shooting, Han Qi was so shocked that his mouth hung open so wide that an entire egg could be stuffed in. Han Xiang¡¯s movements were standard and smooth. She actually shot faster and faster towards the end. It was obvious that she had practiced basketball a lot. After receiving the ball that Han Xiang threw, Han Qi¡¯s expression changed.. He asked, ¡°How did you learn these skills?¡± Chapter 9 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation What he didn¡¯t say was, ¡®Didn¡¯t you go out to eat, drink, and have fun every day? When did you even learn how to play basketball?¡¯ Han Xiang smiled slightly and tied her ponytail tightly before turning around to leave. ¡°Let¡¯s play basketball together again next time. I¡¯m going to take a shower now, bye.¡± When Han Xiang came downstairs after taking a shower and draped her half-dried hair over her shoulders, she discovered that Han Zheng, who had always been busy, had actually returned home. He was sitting on the sofa, and her two brothers were actually sitting obediently at his side. Han Qi had just finished playing basketball. His entire body was covered in sweat, and he did not even dare breathe heavily. ¡°Dad,¡± Han Xiang called out to him gently. She had become familiar with her family during this period of time, but her adoptive father seemed to have been busy with a project that was listed on the market overseas recently. He was rarely seen at home. ¡°Xiang Xiang, come here.¡± Han Zheng smiled at her, and his expression became much friendlier. When Han Xiang sat beside him, Han Zheng rubbed his forehead and said, ¡°The medical report from country M has come out. Grandfather has been in a very stable state recently.¡± So it was about Han Xiang¡¯s grandfather. Han Xiang remembered that in the book, Han Xiang¡¯s grandfather died of illness a few years after she was abducted. However, he still left a small portion of his inheritance to Han Xiang. However, when Han Zheng and his wife met with an accident later on, the inheritance was hidden by the Han family¡¯s collateral family, so no one knew about Han Zheng¡¯s grandfather¡¯s painstaking efforts. ¡°But¡­ Grandpa Han¡¯s physical condition is not suitable for continued surgery, so he can only be treated conservatively. According to the doctors, he only has the next few years left to live.¡± After listening to Han Zheng¡¯s words, everyone fell silent. The Han family¡¯s wealth was all built by Grandpa Han. Back when they were young, Grandpa Han and his brother worked together to start a business and made their first profit on the internet. After that, they each developed their own businesses. Grandpa Han decided to dig deeper into the internet industry, finally, the Han family became a giant that monopolized the local internet industry. After Han Zheng took over, he expanded the Han group to cover a wider area and involve more industries. In recent years, the Han group became a monolith that shook the stable position of other industries. Grandpa Han worked hard in his early years, but when the Han family rose to prominence, he was diagnosed with cancer. He suffered a lot in his later years. It was really sad. ¡°Grandpa Han will return to China next Thursday with Han Yuan. The few of you should accompany grandfather as well.¡± Han Zheng finally finished speaking, and his eyes were already red. After telling the children about Grandpa Han, Han Zheng had to continue working. He wanted to make more time to spend with his family before Grandpa Han returned. When Han Zheng got up and was about to leave, he glanced at Han Xiang who had her head lowered and patted her head. ¡°You¡¯ve been doing well recently.¡± The girl raised her head and happened to meet Han Zheng¡¯s eyes. The head of the Han family looked exhausted, but his gaze was still firm and gentle as he looked at her. Hence, Han Xiang nodded. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Dad.¡± When the monthly exam came on Monday, Han Xiang was very calm. She finished writing, checked her papers, handed them in, and then went out to wait for Lu Huai. When Lu Huai came out of the exam, she was very excited. ¡°Xiang Xiang, do you think the exam was difficult?¡± Han Xiang thought for a moment and answered truthfully, ¡°I don¡¯t think it was difficult.¡± Wang Meng, who had also finished the exam, immediately rolled her eyes. ¡°It¡¯s not difficult. So come out with a good result instead. It saves us from dragging our class¡¯s average score down every time the term ends.¡± Han Xiang was quite interested in this prideful and awkward little girl in front of her. When she heard this, she smiled and said to her, ¡°Okay, I won¡¯t let you down.¡± Hearing Han Xiang¡¯s good-natured answer, Wang Meng, who had always liked to bicker with Han Xiang, choked. She snorted and turned her head angrily. This school teacher was very efficient. The exams held on Monday and Tuesday would have its results released on Wednesday. Everyone¡¯s results were transparent, and Han Xiang¡¯s name was always at the bottom. If Han Xiang¡¯s score in one subject changed from 0 to another number, everyone would know that the devil was in a good mood. It meant, at the very least, she was willing to fill in the multiple-choice questions. After the exam on Tuesday afternoon, Lu Huai kept chattering in Han Xiang¡¯s ear, saying that he would bring the limited-edition Ultraman figurine that he had obtained over the weekend for Han Xiang to see. Han Xiang let him make a fuss and listened to him with a smile. At this moment, the phone in Han Xiang¡¯s pocket vibrated. She opened it and saw that it was a message from a person that said, ¡°Why haven¡¯t you come recently?¡± When Lu Huai came over to take a look, his tone was very surprised. ¡°Ying must have missed us, hahaha.¡± This person, Ying¡­? Who was that? Han Xiang had some vague recollection of him. Was he that motorcycle racing gang¡¯s leader? ¡°It wasn¡¯t easy for me to finish my exams today. Xiang Xiang, please take me to have some fun. Please, please¡­¡± Why did this little brat like such dangerous sports so much? Han Xiang thought to herself that she had to help the little fatty back to the right path and stop thinking about racing for excitement. ¡°Sure, I¡¯ll take your car today.¡± When she said goodbye to Han Yang, he stopped Han Xiang.. ¡°Where are you going?¡± Chapter 10 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Well, you have to ask Lu Huai.¡± Han Xiang really didn¡¯t know where Ying was. ¡°When are you coming back? Should I pick you up?¡± This was the first time Han Yang had taken the initiative to talk so much to Han Xiang. Han Xiang smiled. This dilemma was quite interesting, so she deliberately teased him, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you worried about me?¡± In the end, Han Yang did not say anything. He pursed his lips and waited for Han Xiang to get down to business. ¡°I¡¯ll be back on my own. I should be able to make it for dinner. Thank you.¡± Before leaving, Han Xiang even winked at Han Yang. Seeing that Han Xiang was in a good mood as she got into Lu Huai¡¯s car which had an Ultraman decal on it, Han Yang said to the driver, ¡°You can go now.¡± Once in the car, Lu Huai showed her the pile of Ultraman figurines that he had placed in the car. Han Xiang was perfunctory as she watched the scenery outside the car window change bit by bit, from tall buildings to bungalows and small houses. ¡°Are we in the suburbs of S City?¡± Han Xiang was a little puzzled. ¡°Why are you asking when you already know?¡± Lu Huai looked at Han Xiang as if he was looking at a fool. When the car stopped in front of a car repair shop, the driver reminded him, ¡°Young master, Miss Han, we¡¯re here.¡± ¡°Yes, yes, you can go back now.¡± After Lu Huai gave his instructions, he got out of the car first and started shouting, ¡°Ying!¡± A man walked out from the back of a small car that had been pushed up. He hugged the little fatty who was jumping up and patted his butt. ¡°Good boy, you¡¯ve gained weight again.¡± The man saw Han Xiang and greeted, ¡°You heartless girl. I thought you had forgotten about me.¡± The man in front of her was very tall. He wore a vest and had a lot of muscle on his body. His facial features were strong and he looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old. He was smiling at Han Xiang, revealing his straight white teeth. ¡®This person knows me? It¡¯s weird, why don¡¯t I have any memories of him¡­? Was this person even in the original book?¡¯ Lu Huai first explained for Han Xiang, ¡°Xiang Xiang was almost kidnapped some time ago. She suffered a lot.¡± Looking at Han Xiang¡¯s widened eyes, Lu Huai added, ¡°It was your mother who told me.¡± ¡°Oh? Kidnapped? What happened?¡± Chang Ying revealed a thoughtful expression. ¡°It¡¯s hard to say.¡± ¡°It¡¯s pretty impressive that you managed to escape. Did you get hurt or something?¡± ¡°Hmm¡­ I bumped my head. I don¡¯t really remember some things after I came back.¡± Under these circumstances, she could only pretend to have lost her memory. Han Xiang felt helpless. Seeing that Han Xiang did not want to say too much, Chang Ying did not ask any more questions. He was ready to bring the two of them to work. ¡°Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ve been waiting for you to come. I¡¯ve bought everything. Let¡¯s go take a look.¡± Chang Ying pushed out a motorcycle with a rather cool design from the garage. He also carried a large bag of things and beckoned the two of them to get on. Lu Huai urged Han Xiang to get on. When Han Xiang grabbed Chang Ying¡¯s clothes, the little fatty climbed onto the motorcycle nimbly and hugged Han Xiang¡¯s waist. ¡°Sit tight!¡± Then the speed increased and Han Xiang felt like she was about to be blown away, Lu Huai was still shouting excitedly. Han Xiang had no choice but to bend down and hug Chang Ying¡¯s waist. As she watched Chang Ying skillfully turn, overtake, and accelerate, Han Xiang suddenly thought of who Chang Ying was in the book! He was the racer! He was the racer in the book who was sponsored by the male protagonist all the way to the World Racing Championships. He was the man whom everyone called ¡°Chang Shen¡±. That was who Chang Ying was! Chang Ying parked his motorcycle under a tree. Han Xiang got off the motorcycle and looked up. On the door of the courtyard in front of her, there were three big words written on it: Chunguang Welfare Institute. This was the place where the original protagonist, Han Xiang, was adopted. Why was she here? Chang Ying had already carried a big bag of things and walked forward as if he was very familiar with it. The children playing in the courtyard stopped and shouted happily when they saw the three of them. ¡°Ying Ying!¡± ¡°Han Xiang and the fatty are here too!¡± Chang Ying handed the things to Han Xiang and motioned for her to pass them to the children. Han Xiang was still in a daze. When she returned home, Han Xiang still could not understand why the protagonist, who was a chaotic little devil, would do such things. Was she misunderstood by everyone? Since she could not figure out anything, Han Xiang could only put it aside and focus on what she wanted to do. When she went to school on Wednesday morning, Han Xiang was chatting with the little fatty Lu Huai when she noticed that there was a circle of people surrounding the bulletin board in front of the school building. The moment they saw Han Xiang, the crowd became even more noisy. ¡°Yo, the Han family is really powerful. They can even bribe the teachers to change their grades.¡± ¡°Doesn¡¯t she usually not care about her grades? Why is she trying to find ways to fake it now?¡± ¡°How did she copy everything? This method is amazing.¡± Among them, the people with the loudest voices were people Han Xiang could recall. The one with the squinted eyes, was Li Ran, the one with the naturally curly hair, was Zhang Yue, and the one who only liked to wear pink clothes, was Zhao Han. These were the rich girls who did not like Han Xiang. Lu Huai had already squeezed into the crowd to see the results. With his size, he easily reached the front.. Chapter 11 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Why do you suspect that my grades are fake?¡± Han Xiang crossed her arms and looked at the few people in front of her in a friendly manner. Li Ran spoke, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say before that you didn¡¯t care about your grades? Why is it that you¡¯re suddenly on top?¡± Narrowing her eyes, before she could finish her sentence, Lu Huai squeezed out from the crowd again and shouted loudly, ¡°Awesome, Xiang Xiang! You got first place!¡± The surrounding students were all alerted by this sentence. Everyone knew the most influential person in the school. They all stared at Han Xiang in surprise and suspicion. ¡°What first place! She copied it!¡± Zhao Han was unhappy and also shouted loudly. ¡°She came first place! Who would she copy from?!¡± Lu Huai also shouted at her. This kind of thing was clear to everyone. There was nothing to explain the misunderstanding. Han Xiang was a little helpless. She studied hard and put thought into how she would dominate the rankings in the future. How could others say that she copied? ¡°She used to be at the bottom. How did she get a full score? Who would believe it?¡± Zhao Han was still very unconvinced. ¡°Go find a teacher to check the results!¡± Zhang Yue also joined in the jeering. ¡°I can prove that Han Xiang didn¡¯t copy it!¡± At this moment, Wang Meng suddenly stood in front of Han Xiang and said loudly, ¡°Han Xiang did indeed pass the exam on her own.¡± When the three rich daughters saw Wang Meng speaking up for Han Xiang, they became even more anxious. They gritted their teeth and said softly, ¡°Meng Meng, what are you doing? Don¡¯t talk nonsense.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not talking nonsense. I was staring at Han Xiang during the exam. She wrote it herself.¡± The surrounding crowd was in an uproar. Even Wang Meng, who usually played with the rich girls, had spoken in favor of Han Xiang. Combined with the rumors about Han Xiang turning over a new leaf during this period of time, there was indeed a high possibility that she would be the first in the exam. Immediately, most of the surrounding students who were just following the majority threw looks of admiration at Han Xiang. Only a few people who had a grudge against the original Han Xiang still refused to admit it, saying that they wanted to check the test papers and the surveillance cameras. Han Xiang, however, lost her reaction to the movements around her, because in her view, a floating panel suddenly appeared with several words listed on it: 1. Save yourself from the traffickers (completed) 2. Improve your relationship with your family (completed) 3. Change the students¡¯ impression of you (completed) ¡®What¡¯s going on? Is this a system? I transmigrated into a book and there¡¯s still a system?¡¯ [Yes, I¡¯m your system.] Listening to the electronic voice that suddenly appeared in her mind, Han Xiang fell silent. This feeling of having another person living in her head¡­ Was way too uncomfortable. [I¡¯m an intelligent system. I¡¯m generated based on an algorithm, not a person. You don¡¯t have to worry.] So she came here by himself, not to enjoy her life, but to complete a mission? Then would it still be too late for her to go back now? [Sorry, you can¡¯t go back. You can only choose to go back after completing the last mission of the system.] [You can also choose not to complete a mission. It won¡¯t affect your life in this world. But of course, if you complete a mission, you will be given all kinds of rewards.]. ¡°Eh? What¡¯s going on? Wake up, wake up.¡± Under Lu Huai¡¯s strong shaking, Han Xiang regained her sense of the outside world. The bell for the class had rung, and everyone had left. Only Han Xiang was standing there in a daze. ¡°Those people just now had nothing to say after being scolded by Wang Meng. They ran away. I¡¯m dying of laughter.¡± Lu Huai was still gloating over their misfortune. He kept repeating, ¡°Xiang Xiang, I¡¯ve got an 80 in math. I¡¯m going to get an Ultraman figurine!¡± ¡°Also, Wang Meng thought that you were wronged and was desperately trying to talk to you, but in the end, you were in a daze. It¡¯s hilarious.¡± If not for Han Xiang realizing that it was already class and dragging the little fatty away, who knew how long he would have been chatting with her. The form teacher was very satisfied with Han Xiang¡¯s huge improvement this time and praised her heavily. Seeing that the child was still sitting in her seat with a calm expression, the homeroom teacher was even more gratified. She thought that this Han Xiang was finally sensible. She had a proper attitude, was not afraid of being spoiled or humiliated, and was steady and studious. This was very good. She would have to tell Han Xiang¡¯s mother the good news later. On the surface, Han Xiang was sitting in the classroom, but in her mind, she began to flip through the system¡¯s interface. Activating the system started from her completing the third mission, ¡°Change the students¡¯ impression of you (completed).¡± She was happy that she had finally unlocked the system and wondered what her rewards would be. Looking at the main mission, the fourth sub-mission that she had yet to complete immediately alerted her, because the name of the mission was still highlighted in gray, it was titled, ¡°Investigate the truth of Han Xiang¡¯s abduction.¡± It seemed that this was what she was going to do next. As for the sub-missions, she had actually completed a lot of them, such as ¡°Get Liu Qiang to submit to the law¡±, ¡°Untie Yang Su¡¯s knot in her heart¡± and ¡°Uncover Chang Ying¡¯s identity.¡±.. Chapter 12 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation She wanted to complete the system mission and turn the situation around. However, Han Xiang felt that with her IQ, even if she were to finish reading this book, she would not be able to complete all the missions. This was because she would not be able to defeat all the intelligent and cunning people that would pop up later in the book. However, the system said that she could choose to not complete the missions, so she was free for now. Han Xiang was very satisfied with her current life. She only wanted to cherish the happiness in front of her and did not want her family to be in danger. However, when she thought of the great crisis that the Han family would face later in the book, she began to worry again. The fate of the original protagonist, Han Xiang, had been changed. Would the fate of the Han family be changed too? After school, Han Xiang sat in the Han family¡¯s shuttle car. For the first time, she did not take the initiative to chat with Han Yang. Instead, she sat quietly and thought about the problem. Han Yang looked at her for a while and then asked, ¡°Did you get first place in the monthly exams this time?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°You got full marks for all of the papers?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Han Yang could not find the words to say for a moment. He wanted to change the atmosphere and asked in a slower tone, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Ah¡­¡± Han Xiang realized that her third brother was concerned about her. She pulled herself out of her thoughts and smiled at Han Yang, saying, ¡°I¡¯m fine. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Seeing Han Xiang¡¯s forced smile put Han Yang in a bad mood. It was obvious that this fourteen-year-old boy did not know how to comfort girls, so he was sulking. Therefore, at the Han family¡¯s dinner table, the two junior high school students were quiet. Han Qi asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with the two of you? Why aren¡¯t you talking?¡± However, no one answered him. ¡°Han Xiang, are you going to play basketball?¡± Han Qi asked again, unwilling to give up. The girl shook her head and then returned to her room. She wanted to find some clues about future changes from the mission list given by the system. After Han Xiang left, Han Qi nudged Han Yang. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Did you have an argument with her?¡± When Han Yang heard this, he became awkward and pursed his lips. ¡°She ignored me first.¡± When Yang Su came back from the research institute, the atmosphere finally improved. When she heard that Han Xiang got first place in the monthly exams, she was very happy and went upstairs to chat with Han Xiang. ¡°Sweetheart, can I come in?¡± Han Xiang opened the door and welcomed Yang Su in, who was holding two cups of milk. Yang Su kissed the petite girl on the forehead and asked, ¡°Sweetie, what¡¯s wrong? Did you come across something troubling you?¡± Holding the hot milk and looking at Yang Su¡¯s caring gaze, Han Xiang really wanted to pour out all her troubles to her. ¡°If I already know the ending of my story, would my life still have any meaning?¡± Han Xiang suddenly blurted. Yang Su pondered for a moment before she answered seriously, ¡°Of course there would be meaning. For example, even if I was just a supporting character in a novel and my fate was to make sacrifices for the main character, my life would still still meaningful because all the feelings that I personally experienced are still my own.¡± After being comforted by Yang Su, Han Xiang¡¯s hands trembled and she reorganized what she wanted to say. Then, she said hesitantly, ¡°Last night, I dreamed that there would be a great change in our family¡¯s future¡­ Not only would our family be separated, but our wealth, house, and status would also be gone¡­¡± ¡°Such a fate would befall us only if we don¡¯t do well for ourselves. But as long as we are together and support each other, these external factors can be accounted for. With me around, my darling doesn¡¯t have to be afraid.¡± Yang Su said lovingly. After chatting with Yang Su, Han Xiang¡¯s mood calmed down a lot. She drank the milk Yang Su gave her and fell asleep in peace. It felt so good to have a family to rely on. Although Han Xiang was just a wandering soul from another world, she was willing to sacrifice everything for this warm family. The next day was the day Grandpa Han and Han Yuan would return home from their time abroad. The news of Grandpa Han¡¯s return was not told to the Han family¡¯s extended family. Only Han Zheng¡¯s family accompanied him. Han Xiang and the other two came back from school at noon and rushed to have lunch with Grandpa Han. When Grandpa Han¡¯s van drove into the courtyard, the whole family went forward to welcome him. They were nervously and expectantly waiting for Grandpa Han to appear. The first to appear was a young man. There was a long scar on his brow, and his eyes were sharp. After getting out of the car, he immediately stood up straight and reached out to help the old man out of the car. When Grandpa Han got out of the car, he swept his gaze across the entire scene. With a straight face, he leaned on his cane and slowly walked forward. The young man carefully supported him, afraid that his grandfather would fall and hit something. Han Xiang recalled that this young man was the eldest brother of the Han family, Han Yuan. The Han family claimed that he was working as a designer abroad, but in reality, he was working for the government. He was sent to the army to train at the age of 14 and at the age of 18, he received the rank of Major for his military achievements. In the following years, he hid his identity and was arranged by the government to carry out secret missions abroad. He rarely had time to go home.. Chapter 13 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation It was not until Han Yuan helped Grandpa Han to the main seat that everyone dared speak. The younger generation of the Han family greeted Grandpa Han one by one. Han Xiang was the youngest, therefore, her turn was the last. When it was her turn, she walked up and saw Grandpa Han staring at her. She calmly looked at him and bowed, ¡°Hello, grandfather.¡± ¡°Is this Xiang Xiang?¡± Grandpa Han turned to look at Yang Su. Yang Su had always respected her powerful father-in-law. She quickly replied, ¡°Yes, Xiang Xiang is 12 years old this year. She was the first in her grade in the previous monthly exam. She is very impressive.¡± However, she did not say that other than this time, Han Xiang was the last in her grade. ¡°She is a child with a backbone. Come here,¡± Grandpa Han called out. He was very satisfied with her neither servile nor overbearing attitude. When she saw Grandpa Han take out a card, Han Xiang was stunned and did not dare to accept it. Oh dear! He was throwing money at her from the very start! It made her feel flustered. Since Han Xiang did not accept it, Grandpa Han kept holding it up, his temper was very stubborn. ¡°It¡¯s your grandfather¡¯s goodwill. Take it, it¡¯s fine,¡± Han Zheng said. So Han Xiang respectfully took it with both hands and she heard Grandpa Han say, ¡°Although you are not of the Han family¡¯s bloodline, the Han family raised you since you were young. Everyone recognizes you as a part of the Han family and a member of the Han family. You are no different from Little Yuan and Little Qi. When you are out, you must remember this matter. Don¡¯t embarrass the Han family.¡± Although his words were not pleasant to hear, Han Xiang could hear the protective tone in his words. She replied seriously, ¡°I¡¯ll remember it, Grandpa.¡± The entire family was very reserved during the meal. Grandpa Han could not tell how they were feeling, and Han Yuan looked cold. No one dared say anything. Grandpa Han was halfway through his meal when he suddenly gestured for the maid to pour him some wine. When Han Zheng saw this, he stopped the maid, Lin, who was hesitating whether to pour the wine or not. He tried to persuade her, ¡°Dad, the Doctor said that you can¡¯t drink alcohol in your current condition.¡± Knowing Grandpa Han¡¯s alcoholism, Yang Su worriedly echoed, ¡°That¡¯s right, alcohol is harmful for you¡­¡± Before Yang Su could finish her sentence, Grandpa Han slammed his chopsticks. ¡°I¡¯m not dying! Why are you meddling with the way I live my life?¡± Han Zheng was extremely worried. When he saw Han Yuan, who was sitting quietly beside him, wink at him, he decided to shut up. However, Grandpa Han was not in the mood to finish eating, nor did he end up drinking the wine . He snorted coldly and turned around to go to his bedroom. Everyone sighed when they saw Grandpa Han slam the door with a bang. ¡°Being sick does affect your temper. Everyone, please take care of grandfather.¡± Han Zheng tidied his clothes and sat down to continue eating as if nothing had happened. Han Qi wanted to lighten the atmosphere. He said with a cheeky smile, ¡°Why did Grandpa only give Han Xiang a card? The three of us didn¡¯t even receive a single card.¡± ¡°Xiang Xiang is a girl. It¡¯s only right that Grandpa pampers her. Why are you jealous?¡± Han Zheng patted Han Qi¡¯s head lightly, and everyone laughed. Han Xiang looked at Han Yuan curiously and asked, ¡°Big Brother, what do you do abroad?¡± Han Yuan was stunned for a moment when he was suddenly called out by the little girl. Then, he picked out some things that he could tell everyone. Even the most dangerous missions could made humorous and interesting if Han Yuan twisted the story a little. Everyone listened with great interest. Han Xiang did not expect that the big brother of the Han family, who had a scar between his eyebrows and looked rather fierce, was actually the most stable of the three brothers. He was also very friendly to her. After the family finished eating, Han Xiang slowly listened to Han Yuan¡¯s story before going upstairs to take an afternoon nap. When she passed by the teahouse, she was stopped by Yang Su. ¡°Sweetie, come here.¡± ¡°Huh? What¡¯s wrong?¡± Han Xiang was a little puzzled. There was a pot of tea in front of Yang Su, which was steaming hot. ¡°Take it to Grandpa. He likes it.¡± ¡°Why¡­¡± Han Xiang didn¡¯t understand. It was Yang Su who made the tea, so why did she have to take it to Grandpa Han? She was nervous when she thought of the scene earlier when Grandpa Han lost his temper. ¡°Grandpa likes you a lot. Girls are more considerate than the little bastards at home. Go now.¡± Seeing Yang Su winking at her mysteriously, Han Xiang obediently did as she was told. By now, Grandpa Han was no longer as angry as he was before. He was sitting on the balcony sunbathing when he heard someone come up behind him. Without turning his head, he instructed, ¡°Come and play a game of chess with me.¡± When the person behind him approached, the soft voice replied with an ¡°Okay¡±. Only then did the old man realize that the person who entered was the young lady, Han Xiang. Han Xiang carefully placed the tea tray on the table and brought a cup of tea to Grandpa Han. She then sat on the opposite side of the chessboard obediently, waiting for the old man to speak. Looking at Han Xiang¡¯s series of moves, Grandpa Han became curious and asked, ¡°You know how to play chess?¡± Of course, the original protagonist Han Xiang, did not know how to play chess, but the Han Xiang from the other world had learned it before. After work, she would occasionally play a few rounds with the men at the entrance of the community building. There were wins and losses and slowly, she had learned how to play chess well. However, she was still modest. ¡°I¡¯m not very good at it.¡± Grandpa Han nodded and thought that Han Xiang could make the first move. As he sipped his tea, he played chess with Han Xiang.. Chapter 14 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Their game of chess lasted for half an hour, and Han Xiang¡¯s forehead was covered with a layer of sweat. In the end, the old man managed to reel in a win. ¡°Hahahahaha, as expected of my Han family¡¯s granddaughter!¡± Grandpa Han had won. He twirled his beard and laughed happily; his eyes full of praise for Han Xiang. ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to Grandpa.¡± Han Xiang stuck out her tongue and laughed as well. Seeing that the old man still wanted more, Han Xiang thought for a while. ¡°Grandpa, do you know how to play Flip Chess? I¡¯m good at that.¡± ¡°What¡¯s Flip Chess?¡± Grandpa Han was intrigued. It seemed that Flip Chess was something that hadn¡¯t been introduced to this world yet. Han Xiang took the chess pieces and explained it to Grandpa Han. ¡°It¡¯s actually a simplified version of chess. The rules are¡­¡± After the first round of Flip Chess was completely dominated by Han Xiang, Grandpa Han understood the game and happily wanted to play a few more rounds with Han Xiang. For a moment, he was actually fascinated by Han Xiang¡¯s new game of Flip Chess. After playing a few rounds with Grandpa Han, Yang Su reminded her, ¡°Sweetie, it¡¯s time to go to school.¡± ¡°Look at my memory!¡± Grandpa Han slapped his thigh. He almost forgot that his granddaughter was still a junior high school student. After reluctantly sending Han Xiang to the car, Grandpa Han reminded her, ¡°Xiang Xiang, come back after school to continue!¡± ¡°Yes, yes! Grandpa, Wait for me!¡± Han Xiang also stretched out her head to respond to him. Yang Su happened to be free today, so she took on the task of sending Han Xiang to school. Seeing that Han Xiang was getting along well with the eccentric Grandpa Han, she was very gratified. She smiled and said, ¡°I knew that Xiang Xiang would be liked by Grandpa Han.¡± Han Xiang rubbed her face embarrassedly. At this moment, she remembered another thing about Grandpa Han. ¡°Mom, Grandpa¡¯s situation is really¡­¡± ¡®Is he really not going to live much longer? He was clearly playing chess like a normal old man.¡¯ Yang Su, who was driving, sighed and confirmed the news. ¡°Yes. So everyone should spend more time with Grandpa. Grandpa has been working very hard.¡± Yang Su was a medical professor specializing in human immunity at the S City Research Institute. When Grandpa Han¡¯s illness was first discovered, she analyzed Grandpa Han¡¯s body samples and first suggested that Grandpa Han go to a foreign country for treatment, this was because there was no treatment for this type of cancer in the country, and there were no cases of improvement. Unfortunately, even in M Country, where the medical sector was more developed, there was no way to treat or stabilize Grandpa Han¡¯s illness. They could only send him home to enjoy his last moments. When she thought of how little time was left for such a sweet old man, Han Xiang felt depressed. Even in the original book, Grandpa Han had never met the original protagonist, Han Xiang, but he had thought of everything for her and left her a legacy. The Han family¡¯s business empire, which Grandpa Han had spent his entire life building, was gradually disintegrated by their extended family and other forces after his death. Yang Su, who was focused on finding her daughter, fell out with Han Zheng, and the sudden return of the protagonist turned the situation upside down, the Han family could only walk towards extinction. When she returned to school, Han Xiang found that the banner for the high school entrance exam had already been hung up. After asking, she found out that the high school entrance exam in this world was separated from the college entrance exam by half a year. Her third brother, Han Yang, was going to take the high school entrance exam in one month. With Han Yang¡¯s intelligence, it was no problem for him to enter Chongde High School, where Han Qi was from. Therefore, the family members were not too worried about Han Yang. As for Han Xiang, she had once said that she wanted to enter Chongde High School as well. After this period of hard work, everyone had seen her intelligence, but they could not help but worry that Han Xiang would suddenly go ¡°Off-key.¡± again. Even Han Qi, who had originally scoffed at her goal, secretly said, ¡°If you have questions that you don¡¯t know, feel free to ask me!¡±! However, even if Han Xiang said that she was preparing for it, others would not believe it. In fact, she had recently started to study the third-year syllabus. Getting into Chongde High School was not going to be a problem for her! Han Xiang was listening to her math class while she was reading a book called ¡°The complete selection of Olympiad Mathematics¡± when she heard her classmates call out her name. She looked up and realized that the math teacher was asking, ¡°Who is the student who got the best results for this time¡¯s monthly exam?¡± Seeing that Han Xiang¡¯s attention had been drawn over, the math teacher said, ¡°Then, please come and share with us your experience in learning math.¡± After this period of observation and testing, the teachers found that Han Xiang had a good foundation. Not only was her knowledge sound, but her reaction speed was also very fast. She could answer questions in class no matter how difficult it was. Han Xiang¡¯s previous zero was purely due to her not caring to turn in her paper. Now that she had shown her strengths, it made the teachers who had been tortured by Han Xiang feel even more honored to teach her. They even got a chance to brag about her improvement to other teachers. Han Xiang went on stage and felt the students¡¯ gazes upon her. She was already used to the test taking style of this world, so coming up with a speech regarding her learning experience was easy. She started to speak. ¡°First of all, I think that in order to build a solid foundation in mathematics, we must rely on targeted problem-solving and overcoming our weak points. For example¡­.¡± Chapter 15 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°The above is my experience in learning mathematics. If there are any shortcomings, please give me your guidance. Thank you, everyone.¡± After Han Xiang said that, she even bowed slightly to the students who were applauding below the stage. The mathematics teacher looked at Han Xiang with a very gratified gaze. As a teacher, saving a problem student was more fulfilling than teaching an outstanding student. ¡°Next week, the school will hold a small Olympiad competition. Each class will have five seats for the competition, and the seats will be allocated according to the top five students in the class. Because Han Xiang is the only one with full marks, she will be designated as the team leader, Okay?¡± ¡°Okay!¡± The students below the stage responded in unison. After being Han Xiang had proven that she hadn¡¯t copied her answers, the students listened to her without any objections. Thus, the list of participants was decided. Han Xiang would lead the team, and the top four students in the class in mathematics would be the team members. One of them would be Wang Meng, who was ranked fourth in the class in mathematics. Wang Meng¡¯s attitude toward Han Xiang had been very strange recently. Her eyes were sparkling, and there was something strange mixed in them. It always made people feel that she was thinking about something in her heart. Therefore, Han Xiang realized that after class, Wang Meng had been wandering around Han Xiang for a while before finally walking toward her. ¡°Hello¡­ Can I ask how to solve this question?¡± Wang Meng asked nervously. Han Xiang saw that it was an Olympiad math question and immediately understood. She was in a good mood and cast a mischievous glance at Wang Meng. Noticing Han Xiang¡¯s meaningful gaze, Wang Meng, who was already having trouble breathing, became even more embarrassed. She admitted that she had been secretly observing Han Xiang recently. She was too curious about how Han Xiang had improved her grades so quickly. When Han Xiang went to have lunch with Han Yang, she peeked at the book on Han Xiang¡¯s desk. She realized that it was not a supplementary book, but an Olympiad math question paper set. Looking at Han Xiang¡¯s neat marks and answers in the book, she was even more confused. ¡°Come, sit next to me.¡± Han Xiang gave up half of her seat and motioned for Wang Meng to sit over. So the two girls squeezed together with their heads touching each other. Han Xiang¡¯s breath landed on Wang Meng¡¯s face. It was warm, and her heart was beating faster. ¡°There are two ways to solve this problem. One is to solve it with a conventional formula, and the other requires you to change your way of thinking. Look¡­¡± After the topic was finished, Wang Meng jumped up from Han Xiang¡¯s seat and thanked her sincerely, ¡°I¡­ I understand! Thank you, thank you, thank you!¡± ¡°Mmm, if you have any questions that you don¡¯t know, you can come and ask me. I¡¯m happy to help you.¡± Han Xiang smiled at her. Wang Meng was really getting cuter the more she looked at her. She had a straightforward personality and was not the type to scheme. Her likes and dislikes were written all over her face. She was making a lot of noise. It was quite cute. Wang Meng used to dislike Han Xiang for being disruptive, but since Han Xiang was no longer like that, she liked her now. ¡°Study more. Don¡¯t disturb Xiang Xiang if you have nothing to do.¡± The little fatty who had watched the whole process felt very unhappy. He had a feeling that with Wang Meng¡¯s thick skin, Xiang Xiang would be snatched away by her. He had to defend his position as Xiang Xiang¡¯s sidekick! ¡°Lu Huai, what are you talking about? Xiang Xiang has already agreed. It¡¯s none of your business.¡± Wang Meng immediately started bickering with the little fatty. Suddenly, she realized that she had also followed Lu Huai and called Xiang Xiang by this intimate name. Then, she ran away shyly. Seeing that Wang Meng had left again, Lu Huai snorted unhappily. Just as he was about to continue brainwashing Han Xiang with the idea that Wang Meng was a bad person, he turned his head. Han Xiang patted his head. The little fatty was immediately overjoyed. Such treatment was only available to him. Even if Wang Meng wanted it, she would not be able to get it! What the two brats did not know was that in Han Xiang¡¯s eyes, the two of them were just two cute little children. The Han Xiang from the other world was already old enough to be their mother. The occasional warmth that she revealed was actually more like ¡°motherly love.¡±. During this period of time, Han Xiang was busy after school. Because she had to participate in the math teacher¡¯s ¡°special training¡± with four other students, Han Xiang learned quickly and had a solid foundation. Throughout the whole process, Wang Meng idolized her. However, after training together for a few days, Wang Meng found that Han Xiang had a good temper, so she quickly and boldly became familiar with her. By the time Han Xiang had the time to look for Chang Ying, it was already the day before the school¡¯s Math Olympiad exam. Today, the little fatty was called by his family to attend some family gathering, so Han Xiang was the only one who went to the garage. However, Han Xiang did not want her family to know that she had been in contact with the Chunguang Welfare Institute, so she persuaded the driver to leave and took a taxi to go alone. When Han Xiang arrived at the entrance of the garage, she found Chang Ying tinkering with a scrapped racing car. ¡°You still wanted to come back?¡± Chang Ying muttered without looking back.. Chapter 16 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Han Xiang thought of Chang Ying¡¯s racing talent and his outstanding performance in the future. She asked, ¡°Do you like racing cars?¡± ¡°Hey, I¡¯m just repairing a car. How would you know that I like¡­?¡± Chang Ying still wanted to retort. Looking at Han Xiang¡¯s clear eyes, he mumbled, ¡°I can¡¯t hide anything from you. You¡¯re so cunning.¡± However, in the original book, Chang Ying had become famous and became a professional racer many years later. His ¡°older¡± identity was also a hot topic until he won the first race championship for Z Nation in nearly ten years. The name ¡°Chang Ying¡± was truly put on the altar. However, racing was also a profession where one had to be youthful. After playing for a few years, Chang Ying had no choice but to withdraw from the racing industry due to his declining physical condition. This also broke the hearts of many fans. ¡°Why don¡¯t you give it a try?¡± Han Xiang was a little puzzled. Such a talented athlete should not be buried anywhere. ¡°Pfft, do you think that this road can be taken by the children of poor families? You can¡¯t do anything without money.¡± Chang Ying answered as he fastened the screw, adding, ¡°I don¡¯t want your money. Your pocket money is not enough. I¡¯ve been working as a sparring partner at the car racing club recently, and their salary is quite high.¡± Was it about money? Han Xiang suddenly remembered that Grandpa Han had given her a card with 20 million yuan in it. When she checked the balance, she couldn¡¯t even count the zeros. She was shocked by this number for a long time before she recovered. Moreover, this card had her account name. It was different from the debit card that the Han couple had given her. No one would be able to find out anything about it, so it was very convenient for her to do something secretly. In other words, this was a gift that Grandpa Han had given to Han Xiang. It was a gift that belonged solely to her, and no one else knew about it. However, Han Xiang did not try to mention it. She knew that if she wanted be friends with Chang Ying, it would be best not to mention anything about the difference in social class between the two of them. For a moment, there was silence. Chang Ying focused on fixing the car. Han Xiang picked up a small stool and quietly watched Chang Ying fiddle with the things. ¡°Eh? You really don¡¯t remember things from the past?¡± Chang Ying suddenly spoke and looked at Han Xiang, who was holding her chin in a daze. ¡°Yes.¡± Han Xiang nodded. ¡°Then you still remember me. At least you have a conscience, Haha.¡± When Chang Ying heard this, he was both happy and sad. Then, he added, ¡°Then are you still prepared to subsidize the Welfare Institute? A few days ago, the director called and asked you to stop giving things. He wants you to focus on your studies.¡± ¡°Of course, I have to continue. It was you who gave the stuff to them, not me.¡± Han Xiang did not hesitate and answered very straightforwardly. Ever since she went to the Welfare Institute with Chang Ying the last time, Han Xiang understood where the original protagonist¡¯s time and pocket money were spent. She saved up to buy clothes, food, stationery, and books for the children. She also invested money into the renovation of the Welfare Institute. She came here every day. Even if the director did not allow her to come, she would ask Chang Ying to send something over. Chang Ying was also a child of the Welfare Institute. No one had adopted him. When he became an adult, he started to work at an auto repair factory and could support himself. ¡°Hmm¡­ When you were kidnapped, how did you escape?¡± When Chang Ying mentioned this, he looked at Han Xiang hesitantly. Han Xiang naturally began to recall and slowly explained the incident to Chang Ying. Who knew that after Chang Ying finished listening, he would ask, ¡°Do you feel that¡­ something is not right?¡± Something was not right? Han Xiang immediately reacted. Chang Ying must have noticed something was not right. ¡°I don¡¯t know. When my parents went to investigate, the police said that it was a sudden kidnapping case on the street. The arrested human trafficker said that he saw that I was alone and beautiful, and that I could be sold for a good price, so he had evil intentions.¡± The lucrative business of child trafficking happened everywhere. No matter how much they tried to investigate, there was no result, so the Han couple gave up. ¡°What were you going to do at that time?¡± Chang Ying stopped what she was doing and stared at her seriously. ¡°I forgot, but the according to the confession of the human trafficker, he knocked me out near the Huadu District residential area and took me away.¡± ¡°Huadu District? You were here to look for me?!¡± When Han Xiang heard this, she immediately understood. That was right, the Huadu District was nearby. The original protagonist had gone to look for Chang Ying! When he found out about this, Chang Ying frowned. As if he remembered something, he stood up and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go. Han Xiang, you¡¯ll come with me!¡± Chang Ying¡¯s motorcycle sped all the way to a street. And this was near the Huadu District where Han Xiang was abducted. The Huadu District was an old, open community. It had been built as early as the last century. When the city developed, it became a suburb. It was more like a pile of dilapidated buildings, with dirty alleys shuttling through. Chang Ying threw a helmet at Han Xiang, motioning her to put it on. Then he led Han Xiang into a dilapidated billiard hall and went straight inside. Han Xiang followed closely, she vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she was still a step too late.. Chapter 17 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation When they entered the room, they saw Chang Ying pressing a thug-like person to the ground. The thug nicknamed ¡°Goldie¡± was gritting his teeth and begging for mercy. The few thugs beside him were like sitting ducks, not daring to move. ¡°Chang, c¡¯mon, please spare my life. Let¡¯s talk it out.¡± Chang Ying pressed the person¡¯s head to the ground again and cursed, ¡°Something happened to my sister in your territory. Don¡¯t you dare say you don¡¯t know about it! I¡¯ll cut off your ears!¡± They knew Chang Ying¡¯s ¡°sister¡±. She often hung out with Chang Ying in this area. She had a bad temper and was fierce in fights. They did not dare provoke her. ¡°This is just a misunderstanding, Chang! It¡¯s a huge misunderstanding!¡± Chang Ying did not waste any more time with him. He took out a small knife from his pocket and pressed the blade against Goldie¡¯s ear. Traces of red blood seeped out. Then, the yellow-haired man shouted, ¡°I remember! I remember!¡± Only then did Chang Ying release him and wait for him to speak properly. The yellow-haired man immediately moved two meters away from Chang Ying and said hesitantly, ¡°Chang, please, whatever I say, don¡¯t expose me. Otherwise, I will be beaten to death by Niu.¡± Niu was the leader of the gangsters in this area. The gangsters would go after the nearby residents to collect protection fees, so Niu would look for more gangsters to do the collection of the protection fees and earn even more. ¡°En, alright, speak clearly.¡± Chang Ying nodded and pulled Han Xiang over. He held the billiard table with one hand and glared at the yellow-haired guy. The yellow-haired guy shrank back and said, ¡°It¡¯s Niu¡­ last time, Niu told us to pay attention to your sister¡¯s movements. He said that once he saw her appear in the vicinity alone, he would tell him the news¡­ and then¡­¡± Then, Goldie was punched in the face, and his whole body fell to the ground. He immediately cried out, ¡°Chang, I was brainwashed by Niu! When I saw that your sister was taken away, I regretted it, but I didn¡¯t dare call the police!¡± Was it Niu who ordered it? Now that they had found a clue, the two had an idea. But before he left, Chang Ying still beat up all the gangsters present and said harshly, ¡°If you dare have any ideas about my sister again, I¡¯ll make sure none of you get out alive.¡± Looking at Chang Ying¡¯s violent outbursts, Han Xiang finally understood where the original protagonist learned her fighting skills from. She did not know whether to laugh or cry for a moment. However, according to Chang Ying, Niu was different from the thugs who committed many evil deeds. He was the type to seem strait-laced on the outside, but was evil on the inside, aka a ¡°dignified sewer rat¡±. Niu usually ran a barbecue grill. He was cheerful and straightforward, and he chatted a lot with the nearby residents. Everyone was willing to patronize his business, but the residents did not know that¡­ Niu was the mastermind behind the operation that instructed the gangsters to harass the residents and collect protection fees. If they attacked him, the repercussions would not be easy to handle. However, Han Xiang had an idea. What was a dignified sewer rat most afraid of? Therefore, she called her eldest brother, Han Yuan, and told him about this matter. Han Yuan quickly agreed and said that he would come over in twenty minutes and asked Han Xiang to wait for him. Chang Ying was very surprised to hear Han Xiang acting coquettishly and aggrievedly on the phone. ¡°Ms. Ma¡¯am, aren¡¯t you not on good terms with your brothers at home?¡± ¡°Oh, about that. Once our misunderstandings were resolved, our relationship got be better. This is my oldest brother, Han Yuan.¡± It was hard to say how much effort Han Xiang had put into improving the relationship, so Han Xiang could only play it by ear. Very soon, Han Yuan arrived in his car. This time, he was driving a Volkswagen and was very low-key. Han Xiang almost did not realize that he had arrived. Suddenly, she realized that there was a person standing behind her. Only then did she realize that this was the Han family¡¯s oldest son. ¡°Ah! You scared me to death. Big brother, are you a spy?¡± Han Xiang was shocked and patted her chest. ¡°Haha.¡± Han Yuan was a little embarrassed and scratched his head. After listening to Han Xiang¡¯s story, Han Yuan nodded and had an idea of what to do. Then, he told the two of them to find a place to rest and he would handle it. After all, it was not easy for the two of them to show up. However, under Han Xiang¡¯s strong request, he agreed and the two of them could watch from afar. When they came to Niu¡¯s barbeque grill, the sign at the front of the grill said it was open. Han Xiang and Chang Ying chose a plastic chair each at the door and sat down, waiting for the show to start. Niu was not in the grill, so he was probably in the kitchen. Seeing Han Yuan walk over step by step, Han Xiang had an inexplicable trust in him, and she could not help but shake her feet. Chang Ying looked at the little girl and was a little jealous. He deliberately asked, ¡°Hey, who do you think is more handsome, me or your brother?¡± Han Yuan was already 23 years old. In terms of actual military service, he had already served for five years, not to mention that he had received military training since he was young. Clearly, he was more manly than Chang Ying, who had just turned 18. Therefore, Han Xiang rolled her eyes and ignored him. ¡°Don¡¯t be childish,¡± Han Xiang said with a scoff. Being called childish by a 12-year-old girl, made Chang Ying feel a little ashamed, so he quieted down to watch Han Yuan operate. Han Yuan shouted a few times, and a fat man with big ears walked out of the kitchen and chatted with Han Yuan for a while. Then, Han Yuan took something out of his shirt pocket. Niu turned around and wanted to run, but was immediately subdued by Han Yuan and he fell to the ground.. Chapter 18 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Currently, a few police cars stopped by the street. A couple of police officers helped Han Yuan escort Niu into the police car. Then, another group of police officers entered Niu¡¯s barbecue grill to search it for any remaining evidence. It was already past noon. It was too late to go back to the Han family to eat lunch. Han Yuan stretched his muscles and called out to the two of them, ¡°Are you hungry? I¡¯ll take you out to eat.¡± ¡°Ying, will you come with us?¡± Han Xiang asked softly. Before Chang Ying could say anything, Han Yuan smiled and said, ¡°Of course, we¡¯ll eat together.¡± While sitting in the car, Chang Ying kept winking at Han Xiang. Han Xiang could not understand what he meant and rolled her eyes several times. Han Yuan, who was driving, asked, ¡°How did Xiang Xiang get to know Chang Ying?¡± It seemed like he did not mean anything by it, but in fact, he was secretly observing Chang Ying¡¯s every move. ¡°Ying is also from the Welfare Institute. He was the one who took care of me when I was young,¡± Han Xiang replied sweetly. Chang Ying was almost disgusted by Han Xiang¡¯s tone. When did the usually hot-tempered Han Xiang become a delicate little princess? He mouthed, ¡°You¡¯re acting. You really know how to act.¡± ¡°Oh, I see. Chang Ying, thank you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. Xiang Xiang is my sister. It¡¯s my duty to take care of her.¡± Why did the atmosphere between the two of them suddenly change? Han Xiang did not understand. She looked at the two of them in confusion and interrupted, ¡°What did big brother say to that person just now? He was suddenly arrested.¡± ¡°About that, I told him that I was from the anti-triad office, and he immediately panicked. He was arrested and brought back to the station.¡± Then, Han Yuan threw Han Xiang an ID from the driver¡¯s seat. The S City government anti-triad office had a seven-character gold-plated cover. She opened the cover and saw a photo of Han Yuan and a name: Liu Zhao. ¡°Oh, did you get a fake id?¡± Chang Ying was amused when he saw it. Han Yuan also laughed, but he did not explain to Chang Ying. ¡°No, this is his alias. My big brother is super awesome,¡± Han Xiang explained. Chang Ying understood and immediately felt a wave of respect for Han Yuan. However, this respect did not last long. When they arrived at the barbecue grill that Han Xiang wanted to eat, the two of them were staring daggers at each other again. ¡°Xiang Xiang, this pork belly is ready for you.¡± ¡°Yo, come here. This squid is delicious.¡± ¡°The steak is 70% cooked. Xiang Xiang, you can eat it now.¡± ¡°C¡¯mon, open your mouth.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Han Xiang was already full before most of the food was even served. After she was full, Han Xiang rubbed her stomach and suddenly looked at Han Yuan pitifully. ¡°Hey, can you not tell mom and Dad about this? Only you know about it for now.¡± Han Yuan was eating when he stopped moving his chopsticks and asked, ¡°Why?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want them to worry.¡± Han Yuan thought for a while and agreed, ¡°Okay. I¡¯ll keep it a secret for you, but you have to protect yourself. If you need anything, just call me.¡± Chang Ying was still secretly picking up Han Yuan¡¯s roasted meat, but when he heard this, he quickly added, ¡°Call me when I¡¯m free as well.¡± At this moment, Han Yuan¡¯s phone rang. He looked at the two of them and answered the call. After a brief exchange, his expression was very calm, but his words shout out like a bolt of lightning. ¡°This is very strange. The police found drugs in Niu¡¯s freezer.¡± Initially, he thought that it was just a simple case of premeditated kidnapping. However, once drugs were involved, the case immediately became complicated. Han Yuan still had to rush to the police station to ask for information, so he said to Chang Ying, ¡°It¡¯s been hard on you, but may I please rely on you to send my sister home?¡± Chang Ying was very unconvinced and retorted, ¡°You don¡¯t have to ask. She¡¯s my sister too.¡± When he sent Han Xiang to the main entrance of the Han family¡¯s villa, Chang Ying stopped her. He did not look at the Han family¡¯s luxurious villa. Instead, he stared at Han Xiang. The little girl in front of him was frail and thin. Her facial features were delicate and sweet. She looked like a fragile doll. Her temperament had also changed a lot. She was no longer playful and mischievous like before. Instead, she was more reserved and obedient. Then, Chang Ying paused for a moment and said softly, ¡°My area isn¡¯t good¡­¡± Han Xiang still wanted to comfort him to show that she did not dislike it. In the end, she heard Chang Ying say, ¡°Don¡¯t come again back there again in the future, understand?¡± Don¡¯t come there again in the future? Han Xiang was still digesting the meaning of this sentence when she heard Chang Ying explain again, ¡°I¡¯m a big part of the responsibility for you being kidnapped and sold. It¡¯s my fault for not taking good care of you. If it weren¡¯t for your intelligence, perhaps something worse might have happened. ¡°So don¡¯t come to that place anymore. That place isn¡¯t something a little princess like you should go to. The name of the Han family is too valuable. Anyone could have their sights on you.¡± Without waiting for Han Xiang to speak, Chang Ying got on his motorcycle and sped off.. Chapter 19 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Han Xiang was very depressed when she returned home. Her elder brother, Han Yuan, was busy with her case at the police station, but Chang Ying suddenly stopped Han Xiang from looking for him again. When she looked at the system panel, the progress bar of the mission, ¡°Investigating the truth of Han Xiang¡¯s abduction¡± was only 20% complete. How could it be? Was this matter so important? Han Xiang was a little upset at being led on by the mission. If she could, she really wanted to avoid just living for the sake of completing the missions. Seeing that she had returned home, Grandpa Han walked over from the sofa with a bright smile on his face. Han Xiang hurriedly helped Grandpa Han to the sofa and sat down together. Grandpa Han asked her about school. ¡°Yes, yes, I¡¯m working hard. I still have to participate in the Olympiad Math Competition Tomorrow. I heard that if I win the prize, I can represent the city in the competition.¡± Han Xiang told Grandpa Han about what happened in school in detail. At that moment, Han Zheng walked over with a stack of documents and asked the old man, ¡°Dad, there¡¯s a charity banquet on Wednesday. You are invited. Do you want to go?¡± ¡°No! I¡¯m already so old. Why would I want to join in the fun?¡± The old man was very disdainful. He had never cared about such an undeserved reputation. ¡°Yes¡­¡± Han Zheng pondered for a moment and was about to say something when he was interrupted by Grandpa Han. ¡°Bring Xiang Xiang along and let her experience it.¡± When Han Zheng heard this, he was a little hesitant. He remembered that Han Xiang had always hated high society gatherings. She always refused to go. Hence, he asked tentatively, ¡°Xiang Xiang, are you willing to go?¡± A charity banquet between wealthy families? Then would they know how to dance? Han Xiang was curious. She had never seen such a thing in real life. She really wanted to go. ¡°I¡¯m willing to go. I¡¯ll listen to your rules, dad,¡± Han Xiang answered obediently. ¡°Okay, then I¡¯ll pick you up after school on Wednesday afternoon.¡± Han Zheng heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Han Xiang had agreed. He then proceeded to prepare for other matters. Han Yuan was still not back by dinner time. When the family was having dinner together, Yang Su heard that Han Xiang was going to attend the charity dinner with Han Zheng, she was a little annoyed. ¡°Ah, I¡¯ve been quite busy recently. After dinner, I have to go back to the research institute. I won¡¯t have time to accompany my baby to buy her evening gowns.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay, I can do it myself¡­¡± ¡°You¡¯ve bought her so many before, but I¡¯ve never seen her wear them before,¡± Han Qi suddenly muttered. Yang Su used to buy all kinds of dresses for Han Xiang, but once she arrived at the dinner party, Han Xiang would stand her up and run away, she had never worn a dress that had been meticulously prepared for her before. ¡°What are you talking about? Just for that, you, Han Qi, can accompany your sister to buy a dress later.¡± Yang Su scolded Han Qi and told him what to do. ¡°Ah? me? Alright¡­¡± Han Qi said reluctantly. After eating, the two of them took a car and arrived at the most popular shopping mall in S City. Han Qi had his own opinions on how to dress. He was very interested in the designs by the K family brand, so he brought Han Xiang straight to the K family¡¯s special counter. Looking at all kinds of colorful gowns, Han Xiang¡¯s eyes were almost blinded. She finally picked two black ones and one light green one, but Han Qi dismissed them all. ¡°Although it looks good on the outside, it doesn¡¯t bring out your personality.¡± Han Qi touched his chin, and his eyes locked on a pure white dress on the display cabinet. ¡°Give me that one.¡± Han Qi commanded the shop assistant, wanting to give Han Xiang the white dress. ¡°Uh¡­ This one is for display here, it¡¯s not for sale.¡± The assistant was in a bit of a dilemma. ¡°What do you mean it¡¯s not for sale? The shop belongs to our family.¡± Han Qi could not understand. After some minor twists and turns, the dress finally ended up on Han Xiang¡¯s body. When Han Xiang came out of the fitting room, Han Qi¡¯s eyes were wide open. The girl¡¯s hair was gently draped over her shoulders, and the dress was tailored to reveal the curves of her body. The vine-shaped shoulder straps adorned the girl¡¯s snow-white shoulders, and the long skirt that reached her ankles made her figure seem longer and lither. She was stunning. Han Xiang looked at herself in the mirror and happily spun around in a circle. ¡°Your taste is really good,¡± Han Xiang praised sincerely. ¡°That¡¯s true.¡± Han Qi was very pleased. After swiping his card, he brought Han Xiang to buy shoes that matched the dress. Even when she lay in bed at night, Han Xiang¡¯s mind was only thinking about that beautiful dress. Rich children really had it all, from looks to fashion sense. Even the original Han Xiang, who was in her mid-twenties, could barely keep up. It was the power of money. The next day, Han Xiang welcomed the Olympiad Math exam. On the surface, it was the school¡¯s small Olympiad math competition, but in fact, it was a chance for the school to participate in the city-level Olympiad Math Competition¡¯s preliminaries. Han Xiang would never have thought that this competition, which she thought was a small exam, would actually change the long-term direction of her struggle.. Chapter 20 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation When she entered the examination room, Han Xiang unexpectedly found Yan Fei in there too. She was seated not far from Han Xiang¡¯s upper left. Yan Fei naturally saw her as well. She greeted her with a smile and then sat down to read the materials given to them. Han Xiang, on the other hand, was feeling uneasy. No matter how many pep talks she tried to give herself, she could not calm down. When the papers were handed out, she browsed through the entire paper and then quickly finished answering it. Looking at the door, she had the urge to run out after she was done. However, she still patiently checked the paper over once. And then, according to her old habits, she would have to check it again. However, she was really not in a good mood today, so Han Xiang handed in the test paper and became the first person to hand in the test paper in this examination room. As soon as she left the examination room, the uneasiness in her heart grew stronger and stronger. She turned her phone on, only to find that Yang Su had called her five times, and then attached a message: Grandpa is in critical condition, provincial direct hospital ICU, come quickly. And the time when the message was sent was already half an hour ago. No, no, that¡¯s impossible. The old man was clearly playing chess with her last night. How could he be in critical condition?! According to the timeline, wouldn¡¯t Grandpa Han pass away in a few years. Why did it suddenly¡­ Did she change the plot and the timeline? Her mind was in a mess. Han Xiang ran to hail a cab while thinking. After getting into the car, she kept urging the driver, ¡°Mister, please, hurry up, hurry up¡­¡± When they reached the ward and saw the Han family standing at the door, they all looked in nervously and anxiously. At that moment, Han Xiang realized that she had been crying all along the way. Through the glass window, Grandpa Han was lying on the hospital bed. His body was attached to tubes of various colors and he did not move. The medical staff around him were trying their best to save Grandpa Han¡¯s last bit of hope. Han Zheng was called to sign the papers. Yang Su held onto Han Xiang and supported her body. She did not speak. Han Xiang kept looking at the old man on the hospital bed. She had a feeling that he would sit up in the next second and pull out the tubes on his body and then would scold the crowd by saying, ¡°I¡¯m not dead!¡± However, she could not face it. No matter how Han Xiang looked at him, he was lying quietly without a trace of life. Until the monitor next to the hospital bed emitted a rapid and sharp buzz, and the line representing life gradually stabilized¡­ All the members of the Han family rushed to the glass, heartbroken, and called out to their family members inside. Han Xiang suddenly seemed to have lost all her strength, sliding to the ground. At this moment, she understood: although she had lived for more than twenty years, and had more choice than other people did in the decisions she made in life, this was the first time she faced death. This was the first time she actually realized how small and useless she truly was. When the uncontrollable wailing sound appeared, Han Xiang felt that the time around her had stopped. It was still the same electronic female voice. As she spoke, she showed Han Xiang something. [Miracle Medicine for Treating Pain, value: 9999 mission points] [This thing can save your grandfather¡¯s life. Will you decide to use it?] ¡°Use it, save my grandfather, please¡­¡± at this moment, Han Xiang seemed to have grabbed onto a life-saving straw as she pleaded to the system that suddenly appeared in her mind. [I¡¯m currently processing the credit and loan process for you. Please wait a moment.] [Processing completed.] Then, Han Xiang¡¯s world gradually recovered its sound. She saw that the smooth lines on the heart monitor suddenly fluctuated¡­ Then the machine started beeping faster and faster. Everyone present widened their eyes as they looked at the miracle of life. The medical staff got busy again. After an unknown amount of time, the tears on Han Xiang¡¯s face had dried up. A doctor came out and announced, ¡°The patient is out of danger and is currently receiving nutrient fluids. You don¡¯t have to worry. However, there can only be one family member accompanying him. Can you decide who will go?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go!¡± Han Zheng and Han Xiang spoke almost at the same time. Only then did Han Xiang realize that she should not cross the line. She took a step back and apologized in a fluster, ¡°I¡¯m sorry!¡± However, when Han Zheng heard this, he gave her a gentle look and agreed, ¡°Okay, you go.¡± ¡°Ah? Can I really go?¡± Han Xiang was a little hesitant. ¡°Grandfather¡¯s favorite child is you. He¡¯ll be happy if you go.¡± Her eldest brother, Han Yuan, also encouraged her. Seeing the surrounding family members looking at her gently and firmly, Han Xiang¡¯s eyes became hazy again. At this moment, she felt the affirmation and love of the Han family members toward her, and she was instantly filled with courage. Grandpa Han was in the best ward of the Provincial Hospital. Medical staff would handle everything. Han Xiang did not need to do anything, she just needed to accompany Grandpa Han. Holding the old man¡¯s weak and wrinkly hands, Han Xiang felt relieved when she felt how warm they were. Only then did she have the time to look at the system panel in her mind. What exactly happened to the thing that suddenly appeared and saved her grandfather¡¯s life? Chapter 21 When she opened the panel, Han Xiang found that the place where there was a string of numbers in the upper left corner now read ¡®-8,618.7¡¯. But wasn¡¯t the previous number 2,600? She was sure it was something else. Moreover, in the system panel, which originally only had main and side missions, an ¡®exchange shop¡¯ suddenly appeared. Many strange things had suddenly appeared in it. For example: [Friendship Boat: 1000 points], [Kidnapper¡¯s Authentic Knockout Drug: 500 points], [A Gift for Xinyi: 400 points], and so on. However, at this moment, their icons were all gray, showing that they were ¡°Not available for purchase¡±. ¡°System, what¡¯s going on now?¡± This was the first time Han Xiang took the initiative to summon it in her mind. [What question would you like to ask me?] ¡°What about the medicine that saved my grandfather?¡± [You bought it.] ¡°What did I buy it with? The number in the upper left corner or with yuan?¡± [you have agreed to go through the credit and loan procedures. Your original account score is 2600. You were 7399 points short of purchasing the item. After making up the points, the system will charge you 30% interest.] [Regarding the credit score, you also completed the hidden task of ¡°Getting the approval of all Han family members¡± and received 1000 points, so your current score is -8618.7.] [You need to pay off the points you owe within the stipulated time limit, or you will be killed.] In other words, if she did not do the mission to earn points back to the system, she would be killed? Han Xiang was very unhappy with this kind of forced buying and selling behavior. She asked, ¡°Why did you have to wait until my grandfather was in critical condition before you told me that you could exchange things? Are you taking advantage of the situation? I¡¯m helping you with the quest. Not only did you not help me, you even took so much interest. Isn¡¯t this too much of a scam?¡± The system still replied coldly, [The system detected that your mood swings were quite volatile. In order to prevent the plot from collapsing, it opened the exchange shop for you in advance. According to the rules, the exchange shop will only open when your points reach 10,000.] In other words, the system had opened the exchange shop for Han Xiang in advance and saved Grandpa Han¡¯s life. Han Xiang should be thanking it. Han Xiang was speechless, but this chain reaction always made her feel like she had fallen into a pit. Was it an illusion? She always felt that the system was forcing her to do missions in various ways. ¡°Then how do I earn points? I owe so much, how long do I have to pay it back?¡± [You don¡¯t have to worry, as long as you listen to the mission prompts, it¡¯s very likely that you¡¯ll pay the points back within the stipulated time limit.] After owing the system so much, Han Xiang only felt uneasy sitting there. At this moment, her big brother, Han Yuan sent a message: There¡¯s a new lead in Niu¡¯s case, I¡¯ll go handle it, you can accompany Grandpa Han in peace. It was not until that night that the sleeping old man woke up slowly. When he saw Han Xiang, the old man was about to speak, but he realized that there was a ventilator in his mouth. There were medical staff around him, so he did not dare to move anymore. Han Xiang held the old man¡¯s hand and comforted him, ¡°Grandpa, don¡¯t worry. It¡¯s okay.¡± The attending doctor in a white coat was studying the device that connected to Grandpa Han¡¯s body. He stared at the image on the screen for more than twenty minutes before he rushed out again. Then, a doctor in a white coat walked in. Han Xiang glanced at her casually and was a little surprised. Wasn¡¯t this Yang Su? Yang Su adjusted her glasses and said a few words to Grandpa Han before she was called over by the attending doctor. ¡°Professor Yang, look here¡­¡± Yang Su also studied it carefully. The more she looked, the more incredulous she became. She said in a low voice, ¡°This part of the cancer cell is¡­¡± ¡°Yes, my judgment is the same.¡± The attending doctor confirmed Yang Su¡¯s thoughts. ¡°How is that possible? This is the first time I¡¯ve seen such a situation. Do you still have the sample? Let me take a look.¡± After receiving an affirmative reply, Yang Su became excited. The white mask covering half of her face could not hide her joy. She spoke a few words to Han Xiang and Grandpa Han before hurriedly taking the attending doctor out. For the past two days, Han Xiang had been accompanying Grandpa Han. Grandpa Han¡¯s spirit and condition were getting better and better. By the next day, he could even sit up and play chess with Han Xiang. The doctor said that if Grandpa Han¡¯s condition was always this stable, he could be discharged from the hospital after a short period of time. After the improvement, Grandpa Han refused to let Han Xiang continue to accompany him no matter what. He said that his body was very healthy and wanted her to go back to school to attend class. When Han Xiang came out of the ICU, it was already the next night.. Chapter 22 Han Qi and Han Yang were waiting for Han Xiang at the door of the ward. When they saw her come out, their expressions were solemn and grateful. ¡°It¡¯s been hard on you, Xiang Xiang.¡± The incident of Grandpa Han¡¯s collapse happened suddenly. At that time, no one from the Han family was home. Ms. Li originally wanted to bring tea to Grandpa Han, but when she entered the door, she saw the old man lying unconscious on the ground. Ms. Li was scared out of her wits. She quickly dialed the emergency hotline, and an ambulance arrived to take Grandpa Han to the hospital. Only then did the Han family find out that Grandpa Han had met with an accident. The news that Grandpa Han had entered the Intensive Care Unit and was already in critical condition had also been leaked. When the leaders of the Han family¡¯s side branch heard that the old man was not going to make it, they started thinking about the inheritance he would leave. They immediately fought among themselves and caused a lot of trouble at the group¡¯s executive meeting, and as for Han Zheng, he was extremely busy trying to calm them down. After Yang Su saw Grandpa Han¡¯s medical report, she seemed to have discovered something extraordinary. She also became busy. Occasionally, she would rush back to see Grandpa Han before leaving in a hurry. After returning home, Han Xiang took a shower and focused on researching ways to earn points. Han Xiang had unintentionally completed a portion of the previous mission, so she received 2,600 points. Then, for some unknown reason, while waiting at the door of the ward for Grandpa Han to be resuscitated¡­ she had also completed a hidden mission called ¡°Obtaining the approval of everyone in the Han family.¡± and she had obtained a total of 1,000 points. After asking the system clearly, Han Xiang finally understood that she actually had three types of missions to choose from. They were the main missions, the side missions, and the hidden missions. The main mission and the side mission would only be displayed after completing them by stages, and the side mission could be triggered at any time. For example, after Han Xiang recognized Chang Ying was Chang Shen, she triggered another side mission titled ¡°Help Chang Ying realize his dream (1)¡±. However, the conditions for the hidden missions were very harsh. Even if Han Xiang triggered the hidden missions, the system would not give out any notifications. Only after the hidden missions were completed would there be records and rewards. The hidden missions were something that could only be left to fate¡­ In the main mission column, other than the progress bar of the ¡°Investigate the truth of Han Xiang¡¯s abduction¡±, which was still at 20%, there were two more unfinished missions remaining. They were titled, ¡°Find a blood relative¡± and ¡°Blend into the upper-class circle¡±. Seeing this, Han Xiang fell into deep thought. In this book, the protagonist escaped from the mountains when she was an adult and was saved by the male protagonist. The story that followed was about the fall of the Han family. The story of the protagonist and the male protagonist falling in love and killing each other did not mention who the protagonist¡¯s real relatives were. To find the biological parents of an orphan in this world was like finding a needle in a haystack. It was better to be a bona fide rich girl and complete the task of blending into the upper-class circle first. The next day, when Han Xiang was at school, she glanced at the Olympiad Math Award list on the bulletin board and felt no emotions. Because when she was accompanying Grandpa Han in the hospital, Wang Meng had already known the results of the competition in advance. She had even specially sent a message to tell her that this time Han Xiang had won the first prize in the Olympiad Math competition and was the only one in her class who had won the prize. Thus, she could represent the school to participate in the city-level semi-finals. Furthermore, she had also expressed that Yan Fei, who was known as the ¡°school beauty¡± in the class next door, had also won the first prize. After saying that, Wang Meng had even buttered up to her by writing, ¡°I think you¡¯re prettier than Yan Fei, you¡¯re the real school beauty.¡±. Han Xiang did not really understand the thought processes of the junior high school students who enjoyed secretly poking fun at each other about who was prettier. However, she still very gently replied, ¡°Thank you, Meng Meng ~ Let¡¯s drink milk tea together tomorrow.¡±. Therefore, when the little fatty, Lu Huai, was pestering Han Xiang, Wang Meng came over and said, ¡°Good morning.¡± ¡°Why are you here?¡± Lu Huai hugged one of Han Xiang¡¯s hands tightly. He had a feeling that Wang Meng was up to no good. ¡°It¡¯s not like I¡¯m looking for you. Why are you meddling in other people¡¯s business?¡± Wang Meng also held one of Han Xiang¡¯s hands tightly. Han Xiang did not know whether to laugh or cry when she was being held by the two of them. She wanted to persuade them, but she realized that the two of them were arguing more and more vigorously. She could only let them be. ¡°Oh right, will Xiang Xiang go to the banquet tonight?¡± Wang Meng recalled the list of guests she saw and asked casually. This kind of charity banquet was the favorite place for all the ladies from wealthy families. Not only could they make friends with other wealthy people, but the guests present would also auction off the jewelry and antiques they brought. The money from the auction would be used for charity, it was a very good opportunity to socialize and gain fame. Lu Huai had always been very familiar with Han Xiang¡¯s style. He was the first to answer, ¡°I can tell that you don¡¯t know her. She doesn¡¯t go to that kind of place. She¡¯s not interested.¡± However, Han Xiang was not that Han Xiang anymore. Although she had already decided to go, with the incident that occurred with Grandpa Han, Han Xiang was not sure if Han Zheng had the time to bring her to attend, so she answered ambiguously, ¡°Not necessarily. It depends on the situation.¡± ¡°AH? Xiang Xiang, are you going? Then I want to come too!¡± ¡°Come on. I¡¯m afraid your figure won¡¯t even fit into a suit.¡± ¡°Do you think you¡¯re that good-looking? You¡¯re simply a joke¡­¡± Seeing the two children playing around, Han Xiang shook her head with a smile and walked towards the classroom. Chapter 23 At noon, when Han Xiang and Han Yang arrived at the hospital, they found that Han Zheng and Grandpa Han were talking about something. When Grandpa Han¡¯s condition improved, he was transferred from the ICU to the VIP Ward. He would have to be observed for a few more days before he could be discharged. When he saw that Han Xiang and Han Yang had arrived, Grandpa Han shouted loudly, ¡°Xiang Xiang, Han Yang, come here!¡± Grandpa Han seemed to be in a good mood. He pinched Han Yang¡¯s shoulder and rubbed Han Xiang¡¯s face. It was probably because he had experienced the feeling of having half a foot in the grave that he realized how wonderful the world was. ¡°Dad, you don¡¯t have much energy. Take care of your body.¡± Seeing Grandpa Han moving around and even wanting to get out of bed and walk around, Han Zheng could not help but advise him. ¡°My body is very healthy!¡± Grandpa Han retorted. He felt that after this near-death experience, the vitality in his body was becoming more and more abundant. In fact, he felt better than ever before. Han Xiang, who was the only one who knew the truth, did not dare make a sound. She only hoped that everyone would be fooled by the excuse of ¡°Grandpa Han¡¯s tenacious vitality¡± and stop investigating any medical miracles. Although she owed the system a huge debt, Han Xiang still felt that it was worth it when she saw Grandpa Han¡¯s vigorous appearance. ¡°What did you say Han Shun and his group wanted to do?¡± Grandpa Han asked as he remembered the important matter at hand. ¡°They asked to divide the shares that belong to you equally, saying that they contributed to the development of the Han Corporation.¡± Han Shun was the younger brother of Grandpa Han, Han Yan. After Han Yan became rich, he brought his younger brother¡¯s family to take up the management of the Han Corporation. When Han Yan was in charge, Han Shun acted like a loving brother, but when he went abroad for treatment¡­ Han Shun became a different person. In the past few years when Han Zheng had taken over, Han Shun¡¯s family became very dishonest. When the news of Han Yan¡¯s critical illness came out, they became even more restless and wanted to take a larger share. ¡°Ha, this kid, don¡¯t even think about it.¡± Grandpa Han slammed his crutch. If he wasn¡¯t still in the hospital, he would have gone to Han Shun¡¯s house to teach his younger brother a lesson. However, Han Zheng thought for a moment and added, ¡°They still don¡¯t know that you¡¯re getting better. They¡¯ve been making a fuss about coming to see you.¡± In fact, they weren¡¯t afraid that Grandpa Han would die. Han Zheng was hiding it from everyone and was trying to clear up the chaos in the family. ¡°Well done. I want to see what this kid can do.¡± Grandpa Han understood Han Zheng¡¯s intentions and looked at Han Zheng with admiration. Han Zheng heaved a sigh of relief. Previously, he was worried that Grandpa Han would become soft-hearted due to his concern for his brother. Now that he had seen Grandpa Han¡¯s attitude; he could do whatever he wanted. At that moment, Han Xiang¡¯s mind buzzed as a new side mission appeared. ¡°Assist Han Zheng in cleaning up the Han family¡¯s hidden dangers.¡±. Before he left, Han Zheng patted Han Xiang¡¯s head and bent down to look into her eyes. He said, ¡°Xiang Xiang, wait for me to pick you up after school.¡± Seeing his daughter becoming more and more sensible and obedient, Han Zheng was very gratified. He also experienced the feeling of having a daughter who was a lovely and sweet soul. There was a hint of warmth in his words. Han Xiang nodded obediently. Therefore, after school, Han Xiang sat in the black limousine that Han Zheng was used to. However, Han Zheng did not bring Han Xiang to the banquet. Instead, he went to a high-class clubhouse. A man dressed fashionably was waiting at the door. When he saw Han Zheng¡¯s car stop, the man immediately went forward to welcome him. He introduced himself, ¡°Hello, Mr. Han. I am Annie¡¯s stylist. Your wife has already informed me in advance. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Then, he looked at Han Xiang, who had been staring at his clothes in a daze. He raised his finger and said to Han Xiang, ¡°Follow me. You can call me Susu.¡± Even though this was a friend that Yang Su trusted and recommended, Han Xiang was still a little worried when she saw his enchanting figure and his somewhat weird ultra-modernist attire. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Han Zheng had originally wanted to sit in the car and wait, but when he thought of the fact that he had not seen his daughter properly dressed, he decided to go up and take a look out of curiosity. Susu lifted Han Xiang¡¯s chin and observed her carefully. Then, she began to apply makeup on Han Xiang and shape her eyebrows. As he quickly applied makeup on her, he praised her saying, ¡°Your features are beautiful.¡± Under Susu¡¯s praise, Han Xiang felt embarrassed. Then, she was brought to the changing room to change into a dress. The entire process only took about ten minutes. When Han Xiang finished changing into the white dress that her second brother had picked out for her, she walked out of the changing room. Even Susu, who had seen many gorgeous girls before before, had his eyes light up. ¡°Your taste is not bad. Who picked out this dress? This seems to be the work of¡­¡± Han Xiang walked up to Han Zheng, who had been looking at her, and asked cheekily, ¡°How is it?¡± ¡°It¡¯s very cute. It¡¯s very beautiful.¡± Han Zheng could not find any adjectives to describe it. He could only describe his feelings from the bottom of his heart. In his heart, it was the first time he had the feeling that his daughter had grown up. Then, he could not help but worry about whether some evil young man would come and take advantage of Han Xiang.. Chapter 24 When they reached the banquet hall, Han Xiang held onto Han Zheng¡¯s arm and was led inside by him. Most of the people had already arrived. When Han Xiang and Han Zheng entered the venue, everyone¡¯s eyes were fixed on Han Xiang. The girl next to Han Zheng had soft skin and good looks. Her eyes were calm and clear. Her long hair was loosely tied up and decorated with a simple diamond crown. Only a few strands of hair were left on the sides of her face, adding to her playfulness and charm. The long dress she was wearing revealed her well sculpted shoulders and outlined her exquisite figure. The light shone on Han Xiang¡¯s back, casting a hazy glow. The girl standing against the light looked more like an angel who had left the world behind. ¡°That¡¯s the adopted daughter of the Han Family?¡± ¡°I was wondering why they kept her hidden. It¡¯s clearly because she¡¯s so beautiful.¡± The crowd began to discuss. Some of them wondered why Han Zheng had brought his daughter to the banquet and some of them had ideas for what they wanted to do with Han Xiang. However, when they found out that the adopted daughter of the Han family was only 11 or 12 years old, everyone sighed regretfully. ¡°Xiang Xiang!¡± When Han Xiang looked over, Wang Meng was standing next to a dessert cart and greeting her. Because there were too many people here, Han Xiang only nodded slightly in response and continued to walk forward. Han Zheng brought Han Xiang to a sofa area in the center of the hall. The people sitting here were all influential figures in S City. ¡°Hello, Uncle Lin, Uncle Wang, Uncle Liu¡­¡± Han Xiang obediently followed Han Zheng¡¯s instructions and greeted them one by one. These big shots either nodded slightly, or smiled kindly and praised Han Xiang for being obedient and sweet. When Han Zheng walked in front of a young man, he paused for a moment and introduced him to her, ¡°The chairman of the Gu family is young and promising. Xiang Xiang should greet him.¡± ¡°Hello Gu,¡± Han Xiang immediately followed. ¡°Haha, I¡¯m so proud of Chairman Han¡¯s praise.¡± Gu Yuan smiled, but his eyes were filled with the same probing and scheming looks as the other guests. This person was the eldest son of the Gu family, Gu Yuan, and he had a stable position at such a young age. Han Xiang did not remember his story in the book very clearly. She only vaguely remembered that when the wealthy families in S City were in great turmoil, Gu Yuan was the only one who protected the Gu family in the chaotic battle and then coldly watched the other families fight over power. When everyone had successfully taken their seats, a fat middle-aged man sat next to Han Zheng. ¡°Yo, cousin, why are you willing to bring your adopted daughter out today?¡± The middle-aged man said with a cheeky smile. It turned out that this person was Han Hui, the son of Han Shun from the side branch of the Han family. However, Han Zheng just nodded politely and ignored him. Therefore, Han Xiang quietly watched the host take out the items donated to the charity foundation one by one and start the auction. In fact, in this kind of occasion, what was sold and what was bought was not important. The main purpose was to show the style of a wealthy family. There were also some reporters at the banquet who were taking pictures. Han Xiang received Han Zheng¡¯s signal. When the host was displaying a calligraphy work, she raised the sign. ¡°Miss Han bids 300,000!¡± The host shouted. ¡°Oh? Mr. Wei bids 350,000!¡± This kind of bidding was very common. It was similar to raising the price to stir up the atmosphere. After watching a few auctions, Han Xiang became accustomed to it. However, after Han Xiang bid several times in a row and was targeted by that ¡°Mr. Wei¡±, everyone realized that something was wrong. Han Xiang raised her board again and looked at ¡°Mr. Wei¡± in the back row. He was a very handsome young man with deep facial features. When Han Xiang looked over, she happened to meet his beautiful eyes. As expected, ¡°Mr. Wei¡± raised his board again. Han Zheng turned his head and whispered to her, ¡°Forget it, let him have it.¡± ¡°It seems that Miss Han has given up on the competition and has given this opportunity to Mr. Wei! Does Mr. Wei like this calligrapher very much?¡± Thus, with the warm words of the host, this scroll of calligraphy work went to the handsome youth. Han Xiang did not take this matter to heart. In the following auction, this Mr. Wei did not appear. She also successfully bought a small box decorated with a classic gem. When the next segment came, Han Xiang had a headache. The ball was a new type of gathering method that was sought after by all the big families in recent years. Young men and women would choose the opposite sex that they were interested in as dance partners. They would then dance to the music with elegant and noble movements. This was also a good opportunity to show the elegance and charm of the younger generation. Seeing Wang Meng skillfully pick a male dance partner and leisurely walk onto the dance floor, Han Xiang began to be nervous. She didn¡¯t know how to dance at all, and her movements seemed to be out of sync with her limbs. What should she do? Han Zheng was actually looking at his daughter with some anticipation. He would never have thought that his daughter, who had been learning to dance since she was six years old, didn¡¯t actually know how to dance.. Chapter 25 There were fewer and fewer young people around her. Han Xiang was retreating step by step as if nothing had happened. She definitely could not dance. As long as Han Xiang moved, she would be exposed for not being able to dance. When that happened, she might cause trouble again. Just as she was about to retreat into the crowd, a person suddenly called out to her. ¡°Miss Han, can I invite you to dance?¡± The boy in front of her politely bowed slightly, then stretched out his hand to wait for Han Xiang¡¯s response. Han Xiang remembered his eyes. wasn¡¯t this the ¡°Mr. Wei¡± who fought with her for the calligraphy scroll? ¡°Um¡­ no thanks, I¡¯m not interested in this.¡± Han Xiang shook her head at him, then wanted to leave quickly. ¡°Miss Han¡¯s personality is exactly the same as the rumors say. She¡¯s very charming.¡± Even though Mr. Wei was rejected, he still continued to chat with Han Xiang. Han Xiang pretended to smile again and said perfunctorily, ¡°No, I¡¯m leaving first.¡± Then, she looked calm on the surface and left in a state of shock. She walked all the way to the small balcony where there was no one, and only then did she catch her breath. Such high-class entertainment was indeed not suitable for her. Just thinking about it made her feel awkward. ¡°Miss Han, don¡¯t you like to dance?¡± The sudden voice of a man shocked Han Xiang. She turned her head and saw that it was the young chairman of the Gu family, Gu Yuan. ¡°It¡¯s a little stuffy inside,¡± Han Xiang explained. Then, she looked around and prepared to leave again. The feeling of being stared at was really bad. Gu Yuan held the balcony railing with one hand and a cigar with the other. He kept staring at Han Xiang with an inquisitive look. ¡°I found something very interesting.¡± Han Xiang immediately became alert and asked subconsciously, ¡°What is it?¡± Gu Yuan laughed a few times and answered, ¡°Miss Han and my brother look a little alike.¡± What nonsense was that? Han Xiang felt amused and turned to leave. ¡°This is the only quiet place. Miss Han, don¡¯t run away,¡± the man behind her said in a teasing tone. She would rather stay with this man than go back alone and be embarrassed. So, Han Xiang walked to the other side of the balcony expressionlessly and began to enjoy the scenery. Fortunately, Gu Yuan did not say anything else. He smoked his cigar quietly and then returned to the banquet hall. When the music ended, Han Xiang slipped back. At this moment, Han Xiang was discussing something with Gu Yuan and the other people in power, so Han Xiang looked for Wang Meng in the crowd. When she saw Wang Meng, Wang Meng was chatting with a group of rich daughters. When she saw Han Xiang, she ran over, grabbed Han Xiang¡¯s hand, and led her to the girls. ¡°This is Han Xiang. She¡¯s very powerful,¡± Wang Meng introduced her to the daughters. Han Xiang discovered that there was an old acquaintance among this group of people. It was the original protagonist of the story, Han Xiang¡¯s, sworn enemy at school, her schoolmate, Zhao Han, who liked pink. These girls were all the little princesses of the richest families in S City. All of them were pampered and spoilt, and they had been taught social skills since they were young. Therefore, even though they were biased against Han Xiang, they still greeted her in a friendly manner on the surface. Zhao Han, on the other hand, was very awkward. She remained silent and did not speak. ¡°Do you want to play a little game together?¡± One of the girls with a round face and exquisite makeup suggested. Han Xiang remembered this girl. She remembered that her name was Lin Mo, and she was the youngest daughter of Lin Xun, the tycoon of the food and beverage industry. The Lin family and the Han family had a close cooperative relationship, so Lin Mo also intended to befriend Han Xiang and blend in. Lin Mo and her half-sister¡¯s age difference was a whole generation. Lin Xun¡¯s first daughter came from a different time, and she doted on her little sister very much, giving her whatever she wanted. Lin Mo, who was as tactful and worldly as her father, also became a leader in the circle of rich girls. After playing a few games with this group of girls, Han Xiang quickly made friends with them. She even arranged to go shopping with Lin Mo, Wang Meng, and the others over the weekend. Meanwhile, Zhao Han, who was sitting at the edge, was sulking because she had been deliberately ignored. Wang Meng noticed it and asked on purpose, ¡°Ah, Zhao Han, what¡¯s wrong? Are you unhappy?¡± The other girls stared at Zhao Han, whose expression was unhappy, and started to discuss in low voices. It was probably Zhao Han¡¯s first time experiencing the feeling of being ignored and being talked about behind her back. Her expression was extremely awkward. When she saw Han Xiang coming back from the bathroom with a smile on her face, she was so angry that she picked up the glass of red wine on the table and threw it at Han Xiang. The second Zhao Han picked up the glass, Han Xiang¡¯s suddenly heard the sound of a bell chime in her head and she subconsciously took a step back. Then, she heard the system report: [You have triggered a side mission, ¡°Build a good relationship with Zhao Han..¡±] Chapter 26 Han Xiang¡¯s face darkened when she saw the red wine stain on the beautiful white dress that Han Qi had bought for her. ¡®What kind of stupid system is this? You sent me a mission to build a good relationship with this idiot?¡¯ Han Xiang was already beginning to doubt everything. Faced with Han Xiang¡¯s unbelievable and angry accusation, the system could only reply slyly, [The higher the difficulty of the mission, the more points will be rewarded.] ¡°¡­Okay.¡± Han Xiang was almost angry laughing, in order to pay back her loan to avoid being killed, she had to yield to the system¡¯s whims. As a result, the people around Han Xiang shifted around and the crowd seemed a bit nervous. However, Wang Meng, who could think of all the kinds of things that Han Xiang could do, was afraid that Han Xiang would suddenly beat Zhao Han up. That would definitely not end well. Therefore, before Han Xiang could fly into a rage, Wang Meng grabbed Han Xiang¡¯s wrist and advised, ¡°Forget it, forget it. Don¡¯t get angry here¡­¡± Wang Meng thought to herself, ¡®Please don¡¯t get angry here. There are too many witnesses. Something bad will happen.¡¯. Zhao Han looked at the bright red liquid spreading on Han Xiang¡¯s dress and immediately realized what she had done. Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, she started to panic. Of course, Han Xiang wouldn¡¯t hit her. Even if she wanted to, she wouldn¡¯t do it on such an occasion. She also didn¡¯t want to be misunderstood even though she was clearly the victim. Hence, she changed her mind and secretly began to sniffle and shed tears. When Han Zheng rushed over when he heard the news, he realized that not only did Han Xiang not fight, she even started to cry. Han Xiang looked very pretty when she cried. Her tears fell one by one. Her nose and eyes were red like a fragile porcelain doll. It was really sad to see her. Even Lin Mo, who had always been the peacemaker, began to comfort her. ¡°Xiang Xiang, don¡¯t cry. We won¡¯t play with her in the future.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. How can there be such a cruel person?¡± The girls around also began to agree. Zhao Han¡¯s dirty tricks were really not worth looking at. She became the target of public criticism. Zhao Han hurriedly explained, ¡°It¡¯s not¡­ I was careless¡­¡± ¡°Nonsense! I saw you spill it on purpose! Did you accidentally spill it because you suddenly got Parkinson¡¯s Disease and lost control of your limbs?¡± The messenger of justice, Wang Meng, made her move again. ¡°Xiang Xiang, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Han Zheng could not understand the situation. Normally, it was Han Xiang who bullied others. Why was he here to clean up the mess? Why was Han Xiang crying today? ¡°This is the dress Han Qi bought for me. It¡¯s my favorite¡­¡± Han Xiang ignored Zhao Han and began to cry. At this point, she played her role as a 12-year-old girl to her advantage, and succeeded in winning the sympathy of all. ¡°I don¡¯t know what happened. It happened so inexplicably fast¡­¡± Han Xiang continued to not name the Zhao Han as the perpetrator. ¡°What am I going to do with my dress like this?¡± Waiting for Zhao Han¡¯s father to come up, and seeing Zhao Han at a loss, Han Xiang shed more sad tears and people began to whisper amongst themselves. He had just struck a deal with Han Zheng, and this silly daughter of his was already causing trouble for him! Now that the Han Corporation was at its peak, all the other wealthy families wanted to take advantage of it. Who would dare to provoke the Han family? Furthermore, it was said that Grandpa Han was not going to make it. When Han Zheng completely took over the Han family, even all the Zhao families put together would not be enough to crush them. Hence, when Zhao Han¡¯s father saw this, he said, ¡°Han Han, apologize to Miss Han. It was a mistake. There¡¯s no other meaning to it.¡± Wang Meng was not convinced and started complaining. Seeing that Zhao Han did not speak, Zhao Han¡¯s father urged, ¡°Hurry up, Han Han.¡± Seeing that his father was speaking up for outsiders, Zhao Han felt even more wronged. She straightened her neck and said, ¡°Why should I¡­ It¡¯s not like I did it on purpose¡­¡± As a result, Han Xiang raised her head. ¡°Dad, I¡¯m not blaming her. I¡¯m just a little sad¡­¡± Seeing Han Zheng¡¯s distressed face, Zhao Han¡¯s father became even more anxious. He pushed Zhao Han, ¡°You have to apologize for doing something wrong! What did I teach you?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± After saying this, Zhao Han¡¯s pride was finally crushed, and tears began to fall from her eyes. But would Han Xiang let her go? Han Xiang held back her tears and looked at the crowd with her watery eyes. She said softly, ¡°It¡¯s okay. I don¡¯t blame you. I just couldn¡¯t help but cry.¡± Seeing that Zhao Han¡¯s father looked embarrassed, she tried to persuade him, ¡°Uncle Zhao, don¡¯t blame Han Han. She was just careless.¡± Han Xiang¡¯s understanding immediately formed a sharp contrast with the stubborn Zhao Han. Everyone began to whisper again. Zhao Han¡¯s father felt even more embarrassed. He said in a low voice, ¡°You¡¯re still embarrassing yourself! Go back!¡± Han Xiang once again added fuel to the fire. She gently patted Zhao Han¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Uncle, don¡¯t yell at her. Han Han will feel sad.¡± ¡°When did I yell at her? I was clearly whispering!¡± Zhao Han¡¯s father could not defend himself. However, Zhao Han was still a little girl who was only in her second year of junior high school. When she saw that Han Xiang was gentler than her father, she felt even more wronged and embarrassed. She said to her father, ¡°I hate you!¡± Then she turned around and ran out.. Chapter 27 Zhao Han¡¯s father was too lazy to chase after her. After apologizing to everyone, he left. Han Zheng comforted his daughter and said softly, ¡°Forget about a dress. Next time, let Han Qi pick something better.¡± ¡°Okay, thank you, you¡¯re the best.¡± Han Xiang nodded. However, she had not forgotten about the side mission. Therefore, after a while, she walked the familiar path to the hidden balcony. As expected, Zhao Han, who was wearing a pink dress, was crying there. The next thing to do was to see her use her skills to coax Zhao Han into feeling better. Then, Han Xiang squatted down beside Zhao Han and handed her a packet of tissues. She said gently, ¡°Your nose won¡¯t look good if you cry.¡± Zhao Han was crying like a mess. When she saw that it was Han Xiang who appeared beside her, she was a little conflicted. She turned her head and ignored her. She did not take the tissue. However, Han Xiang did not give up. She turned to the other side and squatted down. She gently lifted Zhao Han¡¯s chin and gently wiped away the tears on her face. Then, she explained, ¡°I¡¯m not blaming you. I just remembered that this dress was given to me by my second brother. I cherished it very much, so I couldn¡¯t help but cry. I also didn¡¯t think that your father would blame you¡­¡± After successfully deflecting the conflict and bringing up Zhao Han¡¯s sad story, Zhao Han sobbed again. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry. I¡¯ll explain it to you later. Everyone misunderstood you. I know.¡± Han Xiang continued to chase after her victory. Seeing that Zhao Han¡¯s emotions had started to ease up, she coaxed, ¡°Be good, Han Han, don¡¯t cry. I know we can be good friends.¡± Under Han Xiang¡¯s constant coaxing, Zhao Han stopped crying and only continued to hiccup. While patting Zhao Han¡¯s back gently to help her breathe, Han Xiang was understanding and said, ¡°Later, let¡¯s go out and explain to everyone, okay? Just say that you didn¡¯t do it on purpose, and we¡¯re good.¡± Zhao Han nodded and replied, ¡°Okay.¡± While waiting for Zhao Han to recover, Han Xiang kept urging the system in her mind, asking how the mission of ¡°Build a good relationship with Zhao Han¡± was going. However, the system never paid her any attention. After waiting for a while, Zhao Han felt guilty and whispered, ¡°You¡¯re quite a nice person.¡± Then, a notification appeared in Han Xiang¡¯s mind: [mission ¡°Build a good relationship with Zhao Han¡± completed. Reward: 600 points] 600 points already?! She could bear the humiliation and sacrifice another dress! ¡°Then help me explain later. If you want to say¡­¡± Zhao Han¡¯s mood was a little better. She immediately became a princess and wanted to order Han Xiang to do things for her. The mission had been completed and the points had been obtained. Who would care about this ignorant and unreasonable child now? Han Xiang rolled her eyes and turned to leave. ¡°I suddenly remembered something. I¡¯ll be leaving first.¡± Zhao Han, who had yet to react to all of this, stood rooted to the ground and watched as Han Xiang¡¯s figure disappeared around the corner. Actually, Han Xiang really did have something to do. She had to go to the bathroom to check if the dress was still salvageable. After all, she quite liked the dress and it was carefully selected by Han Qi. Therefore, it also had sentimental value to her. Just as Han Xiang was wiping the dress with water in front of the sink, she saw Han Hui, who had a round head and big ears, coming out from inside. She continued to rub the dress without batting an eyelid. She did not want to have any relationship with the troublesome side branch of the Han family. However, Han Hui also saw Han Xiang and took the initiative to greet her. ¡°Hey, it¡¯s Xiang Xiang, right? What a coincidence.¡± Han Xiang only nodded slightly. Han Hui did not think that a twelve-year-old girl could be cunning. He tried to get information from her. ¡°How¡¯s your grandfather¡¯s situation? I¡¯m very worried about him.¡± It was another person who came to plot against Grandpa Han. Han Xiang frowned and pretended to be very worried. ¡°My grandfather¡­ his situation is not good. My family doesn¡¯t want me to tell anyone. I only told you because you¡¯re my uncle. Don¡¯t tell outsiders, please.¡± ¡°Yes, of course not. Did your grandfather say to give you the inheritance?¡± Han Hui pretended to be sad and felt it was inappropriate to talk to her too much. He added, ¡°Although you¡¯re an adopted daughter, the old man should at least take care of you, right?¡± Seeing that the dress couldn¡¯t be washed clean, Han Xiang sighed. After thinking for a while, she replied, ¡°I don¡¯t think so. It¡¯s all my dad¡¯s responsibility.¡± She simply tidied up the dress and tied up the stained part with a small rubber band. She rolled it up and turned it into a short skirt. Then, she said lightly, ¡°I¡¯ll leave first. Goodbye.¡± ¡°Okay, bye.¡± After hearing the useful information, Han Hui did not continue to pester her. The thought that Han Zheng might steal all of Grandpa Han¡¯s inheritance made him angry. ¡°No, I have to tell them quickly.¡± So, Han Hui left in a hurry to find his father, Han Shun, to discuss countermeasures.. Chapter 28 After returning to the venue of the banquet, Han Zheng had already taken care of everything, so he brought Han Xiang back to the Han residence. When Han Xiang got out of the car, she happened to see Han Qi, who had returned from his self-study session from earlier in the night. He was wearing a basketball jersey, and he looked like a singer from Han Xiang¡¯s world. Han Qi saw that Han Xiang¡¯s long skirt had turned into a short skirt, and he felt a little strange. ¡°What¡¯s with this skirt of yours?¡± At that moment, Han Xiang¡¯s legs were exposed. Her hair had also turned from a bun to long wavy hair. It gave him the illusion that the person in front of him was not a little girl, but a mature woman. Han Xiang silently untied the small rubber band on her skirt, revealing the skirt that was stained with a large number of pink stains. Han Zheng took a look and explained, ¡°The youngest daughter of the Zhao family is incorrigible. She splashed Xiang Xiang with red wine.¡± ¡°The, Zhao family? Did they even teach their daughter manners? I¡¯ll beat up her brother tomorrow.¡± Han Qi, who had grown up in the upper-class circle, knew Zhao Han¡¯s brother. When he saw his sister was being bullied, he immediately thought of avenging Han Xiang. ¡°It¡¯s okay. She apologized.¡± Han Xiang shook her head. A dress for 600 points. No matter how she thought about it, it was not a loss. ¡°Xiang Xiang, don¡¯t be sad. Tomorrow, I will take you to buy a new one¡­¡± Seeing Han Xiang yawn, Han Qi touched her nose and changed the topic. ¡°You should go and rest.¡± Han Xiang was really tired. She said goodnight to the two of them, went back to her room, took a hot shower, and went to bed. When she woke up the next morning, she felt that her energy had recovered. When she went downstairs to eat breakfast and was ready to go to school, she saw Han Yuan in the living room who had been busy for several days and had not returned home. Han Yuan was sitting at the dining table with a newspaper in his hand. It seemed that he was waiting for Han Xiang. ¡°Good morning, big brother,¡± Han Xiang greeted him and sat next to him to eat breakfast. After Han Xiang finished eating, Han Yuan said, ¡°I have been following the drug enforcement team to investigate Niu¡¯s online connections for the past few days¡­¡± Seeing Han Yuan¡¯s strange expression, Han Xiang blinked her eyes and waited for Han Yuan to continue. ¡°At first, we found a long chain of more than a dozen people. They were all slackers and drug addicts. One of them gave up the name of the mysterious person who contacted him, so we secretly found their contact address ¡°But¡­ when we broke in, we found that three people inside were already dead. Liu Qiang identified one of the men as the human trafficker who traded with him.¡± On the newspaper in Han Yuan¡¯s hand, there were two striking headlines: S City police solve another drug case! The three drug addicts committed suicide by overdosing on drugs due to fear of the crime. ¡°Dead?!¡± Han Xiang exclaimed in surprise as she did not expect that pursuing this matter would involve human lives. ¡°Yes, then the clues were cut off from here. The S City police determined that this was a premeditated crime. They said that someone had a grudge against Chang Ying in the underworld in that area, so they took revenge on you.¡± ¡°That¡¯s impossible. This explanation is too far-fetched. There¡¯s something fishy about it.¡± Han Xiang felt that it was very unusual. Firstly, after Han Yuan found out about these things, the progress of the mission ¡°Investigating the truth of Han Xiang¡¯s abduction¡± was still 20%. Secondly, since the other party deliberately investigated her identity and whereabouts, why didn¡¯t they ask the Han family for more money? Instead, they sold her to Liu Qiang, who couldn¡¯t produce much money? ¡°I also feel that there¡¯s something fishy, especially since this operation has failed. I suspect that there¡¯s a mole in the police force.¡± However, the suspect informant that was finally found was already dead. How should all of this be investigated? Han Xiang fell silent, but then she heard Han Yuan say, ¡°Xiang Xiang, I will be going back to carry out my mission next week.¡± Han Yuan looked at Han Xiang with a little worry. If this hidden danger was not taken care of, how could he be at ease. Only then did Han Xiang remember that Han Yuan had rarely been at home. This time, he had asked for leave to return home because he had to take care of Grandpa Han. Since that was the case, she did not want to waste Han Yuan¡¯s time. After all, Han Yuan had already helped her a lot. ¡°Then there¡¯s no need to trouble you. You should just go and do your own things. I can handle the rest myself.¡± ¡°But you¡¯re only a little girl¡­¡± However, before Han Yuan could finish speaking, Han Xiang ran out and waved at him. ¡°It¡¯s decided then! I¡¯m going to school. Bye, big brother.¡± Han Yuan shook his head dotingly and helplessly. He got up and prepared to make another trip to the police station to investigate Han Xiang¡¯s case. During this period of time, Han Xiang had been busy participating in the cram class that was tailor-made for the three contestants for the Olympiad. As the time for Han Yang¡¯s high school exams was approaching, the pace of their studies was getting tighter and tighter, so the none of them were not free, however, they rarely ate together or went to school together. Meanwhile, Grandpa Han, who was in the hospital, insisted that he had recovered and wanted to go home to recuperate. Therefore, the Han family brought Grandpa Han home after the doctor had checked that there were no risks. Unexpectedly, when Han Xiang returned home from school on Friday, she saw Han Zheng and Han Qi arguing in the living room. It seemed that the commotion was quite big. Grandpa Han was leaning on his walking stick and watching the commotion from the side. Grandpa Han greeted her while watching the commotion, ¡°Xiang Xiang, come quickly..¡± Chapter 29 ¡°You¡¯re not even an adult yet, and you want to enter the entertainment industry? This is ridiculous!¡± ¡°What nonsense am I doing? It doesn¡¯t affect my studies.¡± ¡°Look at your younger siblings. Who would have such thoughts?¡± ¡°Then ask Xiang Xiang. You¡¯re the only one who doesn¡¯t support me.¡± Seeing that Han Xiang had returned, Han Qi quickly called her over to act as a shield. ¡°What?¡± Han Xiang was confused. This time, Han Zheng really lost his temper. Seeing that his daughter had returned, he quieted down and sat down on the sofa, sulking. ¡°Here, look.¡± Han Qi handed Han Xiang his phone. On it was the title of ¡°Future male idol training camp invitation.¡±. This¡­ should be similar to the talent shows in her world, right? Then, Han Qi tapped on the popular short-video app, Touch, and showed his account¡¯s homepage to Han Xiang. ¡°Wow, four million fans. Impressive!¡± Han Xiang exclaimed. Then, she suddenly remembered that the host, Han Xiang, had always been indifferent to whatever Han Qi did, however, he seemed to be a public figure? After some sorting out, Han Xiang finally figured out the ins and outs of the matter. Han Qi often posted videos of himself singing without showing his face on Touch. Because his voice was good and his figure was delectable, he became popular by chance, gaining millions of fans, and the mysterious persona that he donned where he was unwilling to show his face made him more and more popular. A well-known entertainment company, Hua Yue, was organizing an idol training program. The most popular contestant would receive support from Hua Yue¡¯s ¡°Star Creation Program.¡± There were countless big names in the entertainment industry that Hua Yue had single-handedly raised. It could be said to be a huge opportunity. When Hua Yue sent an invitation to Han Qi, Han Qi agreed in a moment of passion. Who knew that Hua Yue, in order to increase his popularity, would immediately announce that he, a well-known internet celebrity, would be participating in the program. The fans and netizens were all in high spirits, they were waiting for Han Qi to appear. Han Qi was forced into a corner. He thought that since he was interested, he would participate and become a celebrity at the same time. It was quite pleasant. Han Qi first asked Yang Su and Grandpa Han. Both of them expressed that they would let Han Qi ¡°make the decision on his own.¡± However, when Han Qi mentioned this to his father, Han Zheng immediately objected. ¡°No!¡± There was a reason for Han Zheng¡¯s anger. His eldest son, Han Yuan, was determined to serve the country in the army. He even had to keep his military achievements and rank a secret from the Han family. Han Zheng had no right to interfere. His third son, Han Yang, was gentle and did not like to fight. He inherited the characteristics of Yang Su, who was addicted to academics. His only hobby was reading. He was not interested in anything else. Only his second son, Han Qi, seemed to have balanced development in all aspects. He was suitable to be groomed as the future leader of the Han family. But who knew that the future leader of the Han family, would actually say that he wanted to be a star and enter the entertainment industry? ¡°Xiang Xiang, please talk to your brother.¡± Han Zheng felt very tired and wanted his family to talk the stubborn Han Qi and tell him to not follow through with this. Who knew that Han Xiang would just laugh? ¡°I feel that he has the potential to be a celebrity. Very good.¡± After all, this was the fate of Han Qi in the book. His future development path was towards the entertainment industry. Grandpa Han was happy to watch the show and joined in the cheering. ¡°Great! The Han family has never produced a celebrity before!¡± ¡°Dad, Look, you¡¯re the only one who doesn¡¯t support me at home.¡± With the support of Han Xiang and Grandpa Han, Han Qi spoke with confidence and quickly accused Han Zheng of being ¡°undemocratic.¡±. ¡°Sigh.¡± Han Zheng sighed heavily, indicating that he did not want to care anymore. However, Han Zheng also expressed resistance to Han Qi¡¯s ¡°willful behavior.¡± The Han family would not give Han Qi any help. Since he had decided to break through in the entertainment industry, then he would go alone. Seeing that Han Qi was still happily preparing for his dream of becoming a celebrity, Han Xiang tried to ease Han Zheng¡¯s mood. She asked, ¡°Will mom be back for dinner Tonight?¡± Han Zheng shook his head. ¡°It seems like she¡¯s been working on a project recently. She¡¯s been very busy.¡± In fact, Yang Su, who was far away in the medical research lab in S City, had made great progress recently. This was all thanks to Grandpa Han, who had provided the samples needed. Grandpa Han¡¯s cancer cells had spread to his brain, which was why he had fallen down in shock. However, after he was rescued, Grandpa Han¡¯s physical condition improved greatly, and the cancer cells that had spread to his brain also miraculously decreased. The disease was completely reversed. When the doctors who had been tracking Grandpa Han¡¯s physical condition noticed this change, they reported it to Yang Su. Faced with this shocking discovery, Yang Su immediately led the team into the laboratory to begin research. Thus she became so busy that she would only return home occasionally to eat and sleep. Meanwhile, the progress of the system missions ¡°Investigating the truth of Han Xiang¡¯s abduction¡± and ¡°Searching for her blood relatives.¡± were still stuck at the same percentage. Han Xiang was at a loss and could only complete the various side missions first. However, since the system did not urge her to repay the loan shark, she wouldn¡¯t rush and simply do what the system told her to do.. Chapter 30 On the weekend, after spending three hours with the two chattering, shopping-addicted girls, she finally couldn¡¯t take it anymore. She found an excuse to say goodbye to Wang Meng and Lin Mo. However, before she had time to take the taxi home, she instructed the driver to drive to the racing club. After completing the side mission of ¡°Discovering the identity of Chang Ying,¡± a new side mission called ¡°Changing the fate of Chang Ying¡± was issued. According to Han Xiang¡¯s judgment, as long as Chang Ying received training in racing earlier, she might be able to complete this mission. Therefore she could resolve the regret Chang Ying had in the book of being forced to withdraw from the race because he was too old and his condition had deteriorated. And according to her probing during this period of time, the system¡¯s judgment of whether the mission was completed depended on whether or not a certain key node was triggered by Han Xiang. For example, when Zhao Han praised Han Xiang, the system judged that the mission to ¡°Build a good relationship with Zhao Han¡± had succeeded. Even if Han Xiang¡¯s attitude toward Zhao Han changed drastically later on, it would not affect the outcome of the mission. So today, she had made an appointment with the manager of the racing club, that Chang Ying worked part-time at Changzhi, to express that she was willing to invest in sponsoring Chang Ying. The manager then invited Han Xiang to the club for a meeting to discuss the details. When they arrived at the club and Han Xiang explained her purpose of coming, the young girl at the front desk looked at Han Xiang¡¯s petite figure and was stunned. ¡°Are You Miss Han, who made the appointment yesterday?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Han Xiang calmly admitted. The girl at the front desk confirmed Han Xiang¡¯s identity again. Although the girl tried her best to remain calm, her round eyes could still see that she was very surprised. ¡°Our manager will be here soon. Please follow me first.¡± It was really troublesome to work with the body of a 12-year-old girl. Han Xiang sighed lightly. The girl followed the front desk into the reception room which had transparent glass walls, but she did not know that at this moment, on the second floor of the club lobby, someone was staring at her figure with great interest. He watched her sit down on the sofa and drink tea. He also watched how she she shook hands with the manager like a little adult and discussed things. Gu Yuan did not expect that he would unexpectedly meet the adopted daughter of the Han family, Han Xiang, who had left a deep impression on him. It seemed that Han Xiang definitely had other plans for coming here. Looking at Han Xiang from afar, he always felt that Han Xiang looked like his younger brother, Gu Ze, but he could not tell which of her facial features was more familiar. As he thought about it, a strange idea suddenly came to his mind. Out of nowhere, he called his secretary over and gave her a few instructions. ¡°You mean, we only need to train Chang Ying to enter the professional arena?¡± ¡°Yes, he has talent, so I¡¯m willing to invest in him.¡± After a few words of communication with Han Xiang, the manager became serious. Although this little girl in front of him had a very strange request, she was very clear about the contract documents, financing, and investment. She was definitely not an ordinary person. However, investing 20 million just to let them train a part-time worker who didn¡¯t even have an e-class racing license was crazy! Could it be that she was joking with him? At this moment, the manager¡¯s mind was already filled with the possible drama of a poor part-time worker being favored and supported by a rich lady. Seeing the manager¡¯s puzzled and suspicious look, Han Xiang had no choice but to mention the name of the Han family. ¡°My father is the chairman of the Han group. My name is Han Xiang. You don¡¯t have to doubt me.¡± ¡°Oh- so it¡¯s the fourth child, Miss Han. I¡¯m sorry.¡± Of course, the manager knew about the famous Han group. After he realized what had happened, he took Han Xiang¡¯s behavior as simply the entertainment of a princess from a wealthy family. There was no reason not to accept such easy money. The manager readily agreed and went out to get the contract. Unexpectedly, the moment the manager went out, he was stopped by a person. When he looked closely, he saw that this person was the big boss of the club, Gu Yuan. He immediately stood up in fright. ¡°President Gu¡­ I didn¡¯t know you would come.¡± Gu Yuan was actually here to join in the fun. Seeing that Han Xiang had come alone, what exactly was she trying to do? He waved his hand carelessly. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. What is Miss Han doing inside?¡± The manager was a little conflicted, but he still answered, ¡°She wants to invest in the club. The condition is that we train a young man to be a racing driver for her.¡± ¡°Oh? What made you think of that?¡± ¡°Miss Han said¡­ It¡¯s an investment.¡± Gu Yuan did not quite understand Han Xiang¡¯s behavior, but when he thought of the little girl¡¯s mischievous and intelligent behavior, he quickly felt relieved. ¡°Then you take good care of her.¡± After saying that, Gu Yuan left, leaving only his secretary behind who still had a mission to complete.. Chapter 31 What puzzled the manager was that after Han Xiang left, Gu Yuan¡¯s secretary sneaked into the reception room and quickly walked out. The manager was stunned and asked, ¡°What is this¡­?¡± The secretary glanced at him and coldly said, ¡°Don¡¯t ask unnecessary questions.¡± Then, she also left. As soon as Han Xiang returned home, she sent a message to Chang Ying, ¡°Ying, tomorrow, your racing life is about to begin. Be prepared.¡± After hearing the news that her oldest brother, Han Yuan, had returned, Han Xiang ignored the messages and phone calls from Chang Ying. She threw her phone away and went downstairs to look for Han Yuan. Han Yuan was hungrily eating seafood porridge in the restaurant. When he saw Han Xiang, his brows relaxed and he said, ¡°Xiang Xiang, there¡¯s a new discovery.¡± It turned out that the police had accidentally captured a drug addict who was also smoking a large amount of drugs in the area surrounding the three dead informants. As Han Yuan led the team to capture him in time, he was saved. The drug addict had overdosed on drugs until he was delirious, but Han Yuan and his team had arrived just in time. In the incoherent confession from the drug addict that followed, Han Yuan extracted a few key pieces of information: this person knew the three dead people, the drugs they were smoking came from the same handler, and they had even contacted each other not long ago. Other than this, there was no other useful information from this drug addict. Han Yuan¡¯s timely arrival had only saved his life, but not his mental state. The underground organization in charge of this was probably huge. Not only could it supply the flow of drugs in a region for a long time, it could also develop a large number of offline sources, as well as connect one ring after another meticulously. If Han Xiang¡¯s kidnapping had not happened by chance this time, it was unknown how far the details of this organization would spread. But when Han Yuan wanted to investigate the suspects based on the local network in S City, he encountered a lot of resistance. When he went to the public security department to get information, the officer rejected Han Yuan on the grounds of ¡°Insufficient authority.¡± The captain of the anti-drug squad also hinted that this move would consume a lot of manpower and material resources, so no matter how he investigated, he would not be able to find anything. With Han Yuan¡¯s authority in the army, he could not step into the Public Security Department to intervene. Thus, Han Yuan sought help from his good friend of many years, Luo Ao, and finally locked down a few suspicious people. Luo Ao worked in the public security department and seemed to know some inside information about this matter. However, he could not say it directly. He could only try his best to get the information that Han Yuan needed to help him narrow down the scope. Therefore, the documents that Han Xiang was currently looking at included the files of several key personnel. Suspect Number One was Zhang Chou. He was responsible for more than half of the underground industry in S City. He had just been released from prison a few years ago. After he was released from prison, he acted quite cautiously and they could not find any evidence against him. However, considering all the abnormal circumstances, Zhang Chou was the only one who could control such a huge network of people. The second suspect, Gong Chang, was the second-in-command of the S City government. He started from a small cadre at the grassroots level and had reached his current position. He was low-key and humble. Not only did Gong Chang have a clean record, but his father was also a veteran of the anti-Japanese war. He seemed like an upstanding citizen of the country. How could such an upstanding middle-aged man be suspected? ¡°When I was dealing with the police, I ran into a lot of obstacles. Later, when I was investigating in secret, I found out that the people who were obstructing my investigation more or less had something to do with Gong Chang,¡± Han Yuan explained to Han Xiang. His good friend Luo Ao also said that Gong Chang was not as clean as he looked. Han Xiang looked at the profile picture of the elegant and fair man on the document and felt that it was very familiar. She seemed to have seen him somewhere before. Wait a minute, why did he have the same surname as the male lead? The male lead of the book was called Gong Chen, and he only appeared after the protagonist had grown up. His family background was not as prominent as the Han family¡¯s. His parents seemed to be civil servants, and the infatuated protagonist had spent all her efforts to help Gong Chen enter the upper class of S City, and Gong Chen had actually conspired with other people to bring down the Han family behind the protagonist¡¯s back, turning the protagonist into a sacrifice. At the end of the plot, when the protagonist accidentally found out the truth and quarreled with Gong Chen, Gong Chen was so angry that he revealed that he had caused the death of the protagonist¡¯s biological parents. Not only did the poor protagonist not know who her biological parents were¡­ she was once again separated from them, and then her depression flared up and she slit her wrists to commit suicide. From the looks of it, the identity of the male lead, Gong Chen, was actually not as simple as the so-called civil servant family. It was very likely that he had a relationship with Gong Chang. Han Xiang originally wanted to wait until the protagonist became an adult before dealing with the relationship between the male lead and the protagonist. She did not expect that this matter would expose the suspicious nature of the male lead so early on. Before Han Xiang could ask any questions, Han Yuan received a call from his good friend, Luo Ao. Han Yuan got up and went to a quieter study on the first floor to answer the call. Three minutes later, Han Yuan returned with a conflicted look on his face. He looked at Han Xiang and the first thing he said was, ¡°The drug addict who was saved, just committed suicide by ingesting poison at the detention center..¡± Chapter 32 The only informant died again. Han Xiang did not expect this matter to develop to such an extent. It seemed that her kidnapping was not a coincidence. Someone did not want Han Yuan to find out the truth. However, if she continued to investigate, she was afraid that more dangers and secrets would be involved. However, the main mission card was here. Perhaps only the male protagonist knew who Han Xiang¡¯s blood relatives were. The mission went on and on. If she wanted to repay the system¡¯s loan sharks without being wiped out, Han Xiang had to continue investigating. Seeing that Han Yuan was packing up his things and preparing to go to the police station to check on the situation, Han Xiang quickly requested, ¡°Big Brother, bring me there.¡± Han Yuan frowned and was about to reject her when he saw Han Xiang saying, ¡°This issue also involves me. You shouldn¡¯t have kept it from me.¡± Seeing that the little girl was about to cry with tears in her eyes, Han Yuan sighed. Thinking that he was only going to check on the situation and that it would be fine to bring Han Xiang along, he could only agree to let Han Xiang go with him. When they reached the police station, a tall man wearing glasses was waiting by the roadside. This man was Han Yuan¡¯s good friend, Luo Ao. Han Yuan handed Han Xiang to Luo Ao and hurried to the detention room of the police station. ¡°Hello, Luo.¡± Han Xiang called out. ¡°Yes, your brother will be back soon. Just wait for a while.¡± Luo Ao nodded slightly and led the little girl to his office. He poured her a glass of water and quietly went to do his own things. Thinking that Luo Ao might know something about Gong Chang¡¯s family, Han Xiang took the initiative to talk to him. ¡°Luo, I¡¯ve read the information you gave my brother.¡± ¡°Huh? What¡¯s wrong with it?¡± Luo Ao raised his head from the computer and adjusted his glasses. ¡°How did you know Gong Chang was bad?¡± He didn¡¯t expect the little girl to ask him this question. He thought for a moment and answered, ¡°He had something to do with my uncle¡¯s death.¡± ¡°Then why didn¡¯t you ask the police to arrest him?¡± ¡°Without evidence and power, you can¡¯t catch a hypocrite.¡± Luo Ao thought of the hypocrite who made his fortune through underhanded means and became the second-in-command of the government. He felt a little nauseous, but he still patiently explained to Han Xiang. Seeing that Luo Ao was not in a good mood, Han Xiang changed the topic again. ¡°Is there a child of my age in the Gong family? I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve seen them before.¡± Han Xiang asked this because the information showed that Gong Chang was a quarter Russian, and mixed-race children were usually good-looking. If the male protagonist, Gong Chen, was a child of the Gong family, then it was normal that Han Xiang had not seen him before, but if he was a direct descendant, then Gong Chen¡¯s identity was questionable. ¡°Gong Chang only has one son, he¡¯s about fifteen or sixteen years old, but it¡¯s said that his health is very poor, and he never goes out to meet people. Gong Chang¡¯s sister¡­¡± Luo Ao thought for a moment and continued, ¡°Seems like she gave birth to two daughters, both of them are still young.¡± The situation did not match up with Gong Chen¡¯s situation. Han Xiang was discouraged and could only use other methods to investigate. At this moment, a man¡¯s noisy voice came from outside the door, ¡°What are you talking about? Are you suspecting me?¡± When Luo Ao brought Han Xiang out to check the situation, the two parties who were quarreling were actually Han Yuan and the captain of the narcotics squad. ¡°Calm down, I¡¯m just asking about the situation.¡± Han Yuan frowned and looked at the man who was getting more and more anxious as he spoke. ¡°Listen to what he¡¯s saying! I¡¯m a captain of the narcotics squad. Why would I kill a suspect? Everyone, please be reasonable!¡± Seeing that there were more and more people around him, the captain of the narcotics squad became more and more confident as he spoke. His voice also became louder. ¡°I¡¯m not saying that you killed him. It¡¯s just that you were the only one who went into the interrogation room before the suspect died.¡± Han Yuan had no other way to deal with such an unreasonable person. When he checked the surveillance cameras in the interrogation room, he discovered that the drug addict he saved had only seen the captain of the narcotics squad ten minutes before he died. The captain seemed to have said something to him, and the two of them did not have a violent argument. Then¡­ the drug addict¡¯s body convulsed, and he died. The forensic doctor¡¯s death assessment result was that he had bitten through the poison hidden in his teeth and died. ¡°I was just doing my job and asking him about the details of the case, and you falsely accused me of killing him? Officer Han, you¡¯ve already reached out to the public security bureau. Aren¡¯t you being a little too controlling?¡± Under the harassment of the captain of the narcotics squad, Han Yuan still did not manage to find anything. In addition, the captain did not have any physical contact with the drug addict, and the drug was hidden by the drug addict himself, this matter was left unsolved. Han Yuan had no choice but to leave with Han Xiang first. If he stayed any longer, the captain of the narcotics squad would have become even more unreasonable and would have caused him even greater trouble. After bidding farewell to Luo Ao, Han Xiang raised her head and looked at Han Yuan who was thinking hard about the details of the case. She said, ¡°Big Brother, they don¡¯t seem to welcome you..¡± Chapter 33 Han Yuan sighed and replied, ¡°There¡¯s nothing we can do about it. A drug trafficking network wouldn¡¯t dare do such a big thing without the deliberate relaxation of the higher-ups. If we want to investigate this matter, we will inevitably come across someone¡¯s sore spot. This time, these four informants were sacrificed to conceal the truth. It¡¯s too dangerous to continue investigating, so we can only put it on hold for now.¡± Seeing that Han Yuan had no other choice, Han Xiang nodded obediently and agreed. On Sunday morning, Yang Su, who had always been busy with her research, actually had the time to go home. Although she looked haggard, her eyes were full of energy, as if she had encountered something exciting. When the family was having lunch, Yang Su announced, ¡°I have two good things to tell everyone.¡± ¡°Mom, don¡¯t keep me in suspense. I¡¯m dying of anticipation!¡± Han Qi urged first. ¡°The first thing is that grandpa is getting better and better. The cancer cells that have spread in recent years have disappeared. To be precise, they were killed by a mutated white blood cell. It¡¯s a medical miracle.¡± Although Han Xiang knew that it was the system¡¯s ability that allowed Grandpa Han to recover, she really didn¡¯t know how his body worked. ¡°Haha, it seems that God did not want to accept me into heaven and told me to live a few more years.¡± When Grandpa Han heard this, he laughed happily. When the pain disappeared, he did not even need to use crutches anymore and could slowly start to do some exercise. This feeling of renewed vitality made Grandpa Han¡¯s state of mind better and better, and he gradually experienced the happiness of being a grandfather. ¡°The second thing is also related to grandpa. When we were analyzing the cause of this miracle, we accidentally discovered the white blood cells that had mutated and differentiated in the human body for the first time. Although we have not yet understood the cause of it, if we can overcome this difficulty, his cancer will no longer be so terrible.¡± This morning, Yang Su¡¯s team published the discovery report on these ¡°miracle white blood cells¡± in a famous scientific journal. Presumably, the medical and scientific community was currently immersed in a great shock. It would take a while for them to react. When Yang Su talked about medical research, she was serious and full of love. She was no longer like a rich lady, but a serious doctor. Han Xiang also did not expect that Yang Su would actually find traces of changes in the system saving Grandpa Han¡¯s life. Moreover, she even obtained preliminary research results, which shocked her greatly. However, Han Qi, who had never been interested in academics, did not understand why Yang Su was so excited. He interrupted, ¡°Mom, I¡¯m going to the trainee team tomorrow. They said that I¡¯ll be staying for a month before it ends.¡± Yang Su had always had a free-range attitude towards her son. When she heard that Han Qi was going to pursue his dream in the entertainment industry, she did not even bat her eyelids. ¡°You¡¯ve grown up. You can make your own decisions.¡± Seeing that his family did not have any reaction, Han Qi felt a little sad for a moment. Seeing this, Han Xiang comforted him. ¡°Han Qi, do your best. I¡¯ll call my classmates to vote for you.¡± Hearing this, Han Qi¡¯s eyes lit up again. Then, he pretended to be humble and said, ¡°Hehe, actually, there¡¯s no need to canvass votes for me. After all, my strength is right here¡­¡± Once these words were said, even Han Yang, who had always been quiet, could not stand it anymore. ¡°Shush, don¡¯t be happy too early.¡± Han Yang thought that his second brother was a young master from a wealthy family. Instead of inheriting the family business, he was thinking about how he could enter the entertainment industry with his own strength. He was really a little blind and arrogant. Just as the family was happily eating lunch, a group of uninvited guests came to the Han family¡¯s main entrance. When the butler came to pass the message, he said that the ones leading the group outside the main entrance were Grandpa Han¡¯s younger brother, the second master Han, and Han Shun¡¯s family. They were here to ¡°visit¡± Grandpa Han. Han Zheng had been very busy these past few days. It was precisely because of the serious illness of Grandpa Han that the Han family¡¯s side branch demanded that Grandpa Han give an explanation to the Han family¡¯s side branch. How exactly would the family¡¯s assets be divided? What a joke. Grandpa Han¡¯s health was very good. Of course, there was no need to divide the family¡¯s assets. Moreover, it was not Han Shun¡¯s family¡¯s turn to divide them. Because of Grandpa Han¡¯s intentions, Han Zheng could only decline. ¡°Father¡¯s health is not good. It¡¯s not convenient for him to see you.¡± Who knew that Han Shun¡¯s family would misunderstand and say, ¡°Grandpa Han doesn¡¯t have much time left. Han Zheng forbade them to see Grandpa Han so that they can monopolize the family¡¯s assets.¡± After the Han family was easily beaten back by Han Zheng for causing trouble, Han Shun¡¯s family was desperate. They thought of a very bad idea, which was to bring the media to uncover the ¡°ugly face of the Han corporation¡¯s chairman.¡±. This idea was put forth by Han Shun¡¯s second son, Han Hui. His plan was very good. Since Han Zheng was hiding Grandpa Han from them, he was either too sick to get out of bed, or he had already died. When the scandal of the Han Corporation¡¯s chairman hiding information about his father from his uncle¡¯s family and trying to seize the family property would be exposed, not only would the Han corporation¡¯s usual positive image be destroyed, but the Han corporation¡¯s stock would also plummet, and even Han Zheng himself¡­ would be blamed and replaced. At that time, Han Shun¡¯s family would have a chance to take power.. Chapter 34 Therefore, when Han Shun and his family made an excuse to ¡°visit¡± Grandpa Han, they also brought a large number of media outlets with them. They gathered at the Han family¡¯s entrance noisily, waiting to blow up the scandal of the Han family¡¯s uncle and nephew fighting over the family¡¯s property. Even if the butler quickly notified Han Zheng, Han Zheng could not rush back immediately to deal with it. Therefore, after Han Xiang discussed with her family¡­ The Han family¡¯s servants politely invited the large group of people into the Han family home. However, the media crew, with cameras on their shoulders, could not be let in. The servants invited them to their seats in the garden and served them tea. The media crew could only watch helplessly as Han Shun brought his family into the house. Fortunately, Han Shun had instructed them to barge in at the first sign of movement and expose the ugly behavior of the Han family. As soon as Han Shun entered the house, Han Zheng pretended to greet everyone. ¡°It¡¯s really rude of you to come to my house without prior notice.¡± At this moment, there was still food on the dining table of Han Zheng¡¯s family. It was really too abrupt. Yang Su did not look good and asked, ¡°Second uncle, you have brought so many people to my house. What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Oh, I¡¯m just concerned about my brother¡¯s health. I¡¯m here to pay a visit.¡± ¡°Grandpa Han isn¡¯t here. You¡¯ve come to the wrong place,¡± Yang Su said calmly. They went to the hospital to check and found that Grandpa Han had been discharged a few days ago. Now that Yang Su lied so obviously, it confirmed Han Shun¡¯s family¡¯s speculation. Han Hui took the lead and said, ¡°Cousin, we already know that Grandpa Han isn¡¯t in the hospital. It¡¯s not very kind of you to scare people like that, is it?¡± The rest of Han Shun¡¯s family also chimed in with a strange tone. ¡°Her father-in-law is so sick, yet he still wants to fight for the family assets. How cold-blooded.¡± ¡°He didn¡¯t even let his family see him for the last time. Han Zheng really has the power to cover up the sky.¡± Yang Su was annoyed by the noise and walked to the side, ignoring the motley crowd. ¡°Since you hid the old man from us and are so heartless, don¡¯t blame us for not being polite.¡± Han Hui pretended to say a few words and led the group to search the Han family¡¯s house. After pushing open the door of the fourth room, Han Hui and the others found their target. There was a faint smell of Chinese medicine in the room. The curtains were drawn and the person on the bed was covered with a blanket. He seemed to be in a deep sleep and was in a very bad state. When Han Shun came over, he immediately pretended to be very sad and cried bitterly, ¡°Brother, brother! I didn¡¯t expect this¡­¡± Then, Han Hui signaled for the media crew to come in. Not long after Han Shun cried, he began to berate Han Zheng¡¯s family for their ¡°bad behavior.¡± ¡°The Han family has an unworthy heir! For the sake of the family fortune, they actually didn¡¯t send you to the hospital¡­¡± Then, Han Hui sneaked near ¡°Grandpa Han¡¯s¡± bed and secretly stuffed the ¡°fake will¡± that he had prepared early in the morning into it. The media that came in took photos of the crying family. When Han Shun saw that Grandpa Han was still unconscious in such a noisy environment, he felt that the matter had already been resolved, the crying became even more fake. ¡°Brother, something happened to you. What should I do?¡± At that moment, the person on the bed moved slightly. Han Shun was stunned and stopped the fake crying. However, the next second, the blanket was lifted and the person who was lying on the bed jumped up. ¡°Who told you that something happened to my grandfather? What nonsense!¡± Everyone present was shocked. Han Shun, who was enjoying himself by the bed, was so shocked that he let out an ¡°Ah!¡± and almost jumped to his feet. When the lights were turned on, everyone saw clearly that the person who jumped up from the bed was not Grandpa Han at all, but the second young master of the Han family, Han Qi. Behind the stunned crowd, there was a loud rebuke, ¡°You bastards! What are you doing in my house?¡± Seeing Grandpa Han, who had been seriously ill and had entered the ICU, suddenly appear, everyone was shocked again. Han Shun immediately reacted and stammered to explain, ¡°Brother, we were worried about you¡­ That¡¯s why¡­ That¡¯s why.¡± ¡°Bullsh*t!¡± Grandpa Han did not expect his usually honest younger brother to do such a thing, so he snapped. Han Xiang, who was at his side, immediately thoughtfully handed the fake will that Han Hui hid in the table to Grandpa Han. Seeing the paper full of accusations of Han Zheng¡¯s ¡°unfilial¡± behavior and the fake will that said that he was willing to leave all his assets to his younger brother, Han Shun, Grandpa Han was instantly furious. ¡°I¡¯m not dead yet, and you¡¯re already plotting to get your family assets?!¡± Grandpa Han was so angry that he picked up his walking stick and smashed it at Han Shun. Seeing two old men over 70 fighting was also a very strange experience. Han Xiang thought to herself as she watched Grandpa Han beat him up. Grandpa Han ¡°faked his death.¡± The scene of the brothers turning against each other was obviously even more explosive. The media crew tried their best to capture the scene of Grandpa Han beating up his younger brother.. Chapter 35 Han Shun was beaten by his brother with a walking stick until he had no strength to fight back. He had a bad back to begin with, and he had always been afraid of Grandpa Han. He only dared to make a move when he thought Grandpa Han was dying. Who would have thought that an old man with terminal cancer could actually get better on his own? The others watched Grandpa Han fly into a rage, but no one dared to go up and calm him down. In the end, Han Shun and his group were chased out of the Han family residence. The media crew was controlled by Han Zheng, who had rushed over. They could only release the news that the Han Corporation wanted to see. Therefore, on Monday of the next day, the front page of the biggest newspaper in S City said ¡°The collateral family of the Han family wants to take over the family property. They actually forged a fake will and spread rumors that Grandpa Han was dead!¡± Han Zheng was also very fast. On the same day, he held a shareholders¡¯ meeting and jointly discussed taking back the shares of Han Shun¡¯s family. He also demanded that Han Shun compensate for the loss of the reputation of the Han group. Then, he held a press conference and completely separated from Han Shun. Grandpa Han was very angry about this matter. Even at the press conference, he lambasted his younger brother¡¯s shameless behavior and said that he was in good health and did not need anyone to worry. When the system displayed that the side mission ¡°Assist Han Zheng in cleaning up the Han family¡¯s hidden dangers¡± had been completed and Han Xiang had been awarded 500 points, Han Xiang could not help but sigh. Some things just needed to be done at the right time, and Han Shun¡¯s family actually came knocking on her door, assisting her in completing a side mission. After Han Qi cooperated with her, he went to Hua Yue Company to participate in the trainee program. Before he left, he even boasted about his acting skills. However, to Han Xiang¡¯s surprise, there was another task that was delivered to her door. It was difficult for her to handle. On Tuesday afternoon after school, Han Xiang had just said goodbye to the little fatty, Lu Huai and Wang Meng, when she met a person that she did not expect. The man in front of her was wearing a black suit. His hair was neatly combed back, and he looked like a business elite. Wasn¡¯t this the young chairman of the Gu Group, Gu Yuan? At that time, he even teased Han Xiang and said that Han Xiang looked like his younger brother. Before Han Xiang could react, a boy about her age jumped out from behind Gu Yuan and called out sweetly, ¡°Xiang Xiang!¡± Looking at the facial features of the boy in front of her that were similar to hers, Han Xiang was immediately confused. She did not expect Gu Yuan to be telling the truth. He really did have a brother who looked like her! Gu Yuan looked at Han Xiang and was stunned. This time, he smiled sincerely, ¡°Xiang Xiang, we are going to the Han family¡¯s house. Let¡¯s go together.¡± ¡°Why are you going to the Han family¡¯s house to look for me?¡± Han Xiang was confused, but she quickly reacted, ¡°What did you call me?¡± However, Gu Yuan smiled and did not answer. He only led Han Xiang to his car. Han Yang, who had finished school a little later than Han Xiang, saw that Han Xiang had been taken away. He quickly followed them and stopped Gu Yuan. ¡°What is President Gu doing?¡± Of course, he knew Gu Yuan and Gu Ze. However, the Gu family had never been close to the Han family. Today, they suddenly became so close to Han Xiang. Han Yang immediately felt a sense of crisis. ¡°We¡¯re going to your house, nothing much.¡± Gu Yuan was still smiling. ¡°Then why did you bring my sister to the car?¡± Han Yang became more cautious when he saw Gu Yuan smile like an old fox. ¡°Xiang Xiang should come with us.¡± Gu Yuan was still playing around with Han Yang, but he did not tell him what he was going to do. There was no other way. Under the entanglement of the Gu brothers, Han Yang decided to get in the car with Han Xiang. Otherwise, he would not be at ease leaving Han Xiang alone with the two sneaky brothers. Sitting in the car of the Gu family, the second young master of the Gu family, Gu Ze, had been chatting enthusiastically with Han Xiang, but the content of his questions was very strange. ¡°Xiang Xiang, what color do you like?¡± ¡°White.¡± ¡°Xiang Xiang, do you like round things or square things?¡± ¡°Round, I guess.¡± ¡°Then do you like flowers and plants?¡± ¡°They¡¯re okay.¡± ¡°Then Xiang Xiang¡­¡± ¡°¡­¡± Finally, under Gu Ze¡¯s incessant chatter, the group returned to the Han family home. Han Xiang, who got out of the car, took a deep breath. She felt that she had just completed a long questionnaire on her basic likes and dislikes in the car. However, when she entered the living room, she saw that the handmade leather sofa imported for the Han family was filled with people. The atmosphere was a little strange. Was this the way to talk about business? Upon closer inspection, Grandpa Han, Han Zheng, Yang Su, and her eldest brother, Han Yuan, were all present. On the other side sat a middle-aged noblewoman with red-rimmed eyes, a middle-aged man wearing a pocket vest and braided hair, and an amiable old man with white hair¡­ After looking around, Han Xiang¡¯s eyes were dazzled. And ever since Han Xiang entered, everyone had been staring at her. The scene immediately fell into a strange silence.. Chapter 36 It was the woman with red-rimmed eyes who spoke first. ¡°She really looks exactly like little Ze.¡± Then, she stared at Han Xiang with a very loving gaze full of heartache. As she stared, tears welled up in her eyes again. Yang Su was unhappy. She retorted, ¡°How does Xiang Xiang look like him? If you ask me, she doesn¡¯t look like him at all¡­¡± Han Xiang was still confused, but Gu Ze held her hand and brought her to an empty seat next to where the Gu family was sitting. Han Yang reacted quickly and quickly held Han Xiang¡¯s other hand, staring at Gu Ze unhappily. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Han Xiang was even more confused. Seeing the two guys fighting with their eyes, Han Xiang hurriedly tried to stop them. ¡°I¡¯ll sit over there¡­ Gu Ze, right? Let go of my hand, okay?¡± Then, Gu Ze obediently let go of Han Xiang¡¯s wrist and looked at Han Xiang pitifully. When they saw that Han Xiang wanted to sit with the Han family members, the Han family members were slightly relieved, thinking that they did not dote on Han Xiang for nothing. However, when Gu Yuan coughed lightly and was about to speak, the Han family members¡¯ hearts were beating hard again. ¡°Wait a minute. I think it¡¯s better not to tell Xiang Xiang about something that hasn¡¯t been decided yet,¡± Han Yuan interrupted Gu Yuan who was about to speak. ¡°Our family has completely confirmed it. It¡¯s just that you don¡¯t want to believe it.¡± Gu Yuan laughed and then looked at Han Xiang. ¡°Why don¡¯t you ask my sister if she¡¯s willing to be kept in the dark?¡± Han Xiang¡¯s hair stood on end when she heard the word ¡°sister¡±. It couldn¡¯t be, could there really be such a dramatic twist? Ignoring the Han family¡¯s hard-to-hide resistance, Gu Yuan began to explain the whole story. It turned out that after Gu Yuan first saw Han Xiang at the banquet, he had felt that she looked very similar to his brother, Gu Ze. He remembered that the Gu family had accidentally lost their little daughter, who was Gu Ze¡¯s twin sister, due to the negligence of the medical staff 12 years ago. After many years of fruitless searching, Gu Yuan took a sample of Han Xiang¡¯s hair and found out that she was related to the Gu family by blood. After comparing it with Han Xiang¡¯s information, the Gu family confirmed that this was their beloved daughter, the little princess of the Gu family, whom they had lost for 12 years. Seeing that the main mission ¡°Searching for blood relatives¡± in her mind had been completed and that she had been rewarded with 2000 points, Han Xiang began to doubt her life. Wasn¡¯t this a little too melodramatic?! Han Xiang kept repeating this sentence in her mind. Even the system replied: [This is Han Xiang¡¯s hidden plot twist.] When everyone saw that Han Xiang was stunned by this matter, no one was willing to accept the fact that they were arguing. ¡°If your Han family didn¡¯t take Xiang Xiang away, we wouldn¡¯t have been unable to find her for so many years!¡± ¡°And yet, you were not responsible enough to find the child earlier?¡± ¡°That was an accident! Now we have to take Xiang Xiang back to make it up to her!¡± ¡°Xiang Xiang belongs to the Han family! Don¡¯t even think about it!¡± Han Xiang¡¯s biological mother, the woman who had been crying for a long time, Ms. He Qiao, could not help but walk up to Han Xiang. She hugged the dazed Han Xiang while crying. ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡­my daughter. It¡¯s my fault. I¡¯ve made you suffer.¡± She sobbed loudly. Han Xiang did not push away when she was suddenly hugged by a warm body. She indeed felt a sense of familiarity and love from this woman. Yang Su was unhappy. She pulled He Qiao away from Han Xiang and protected her. She emphasized, ¡°Han Xiang is my daughter.¡± Beside her, Han Xiang¡¯s biological father, Gu Nan, who was wearing a pocket vest, said, ¡°You have contributed to taking care of our daughter, but we are Xiang Xiang¡¯s biological parents.¡± Han Zheng immediately retorted, ¡°Legally, we are Xiang Xiang¡¯s parents. Whether Xiang Xiang recognizes you or not is another matter.¡± Seeing that the two families were about to quarrel again, Grandpa Han shook his crutches and said loudly, ¡°No matter whose daughter Xiang Xiang is, we still have to listen to Xiang Xiang in this matter. Don¡¯t quarrel.¡± The white-haired old man opposite also added, ¡°Right! Listen to my granddaughter, Xiang Xiang. Don¡¯t quarrel.¡± Everyone was silent. The Gu family¡¯s request was very simple. Since Han Xiang was the precious little princess that the Gu family had lost for many years, the Gu family had to take her home to make up for their debt and then fulfill the responsibility of raising her as their daughter. The Han family disagreed in every way. Firstly, Han Xiang might not necessarily be the Gu family¡¯s biological daughter. After all, they had not seen the test results from their own staff. The fact that Han Xiang was the Gu family¡¯s lost daughter was entirely dependent on the Gu family¡¯s words, what if it was fake? Secondly, when the Han family adopted Han Xiang, they had already completed all the procedures that it entailed. Legally, Han Xiang was the Han family¡¯s daughter. Now, even if her biological parents came into the picture, whether Han Xiang would admit it or not was another matter. In any case, they could not let the Gu family take Han Xiang away.. Chapter 37 Seeing that everyone was almost quarreling again, Han Xiang raised her hand to signal for them to stop. Then, she said loudly, ¡°Wait until the paternity test is done. It¡¯s useless for you to say anything now.¡± Seeing that Han Xiang did not change sides just because she had found her biological parents, Yang Su was very touched. Her nose was sore, and she actually wanted to cry. He Qiao saw Yang Su like this and immediately shed tears again. She said to Han Xiang, ¡°You trust your mommy. Mommy won¡¯t lie to you. Come home with mommy, okay?¡± Before Han Xiang could answer, Yang Su also shed tears. ¡°Xiang Xiang, ignore her. Mommy loves you the most.¡± Under the double attack, Han Xiang¡¯s head was about to explode. She wanted to cry but had no tears. Finally, the Han family and the Gu family came to a preliminary agreement. They would take blood samples from Han Xiang and Gu Nan today and wait for the paternity test at noon tomorrow. The Gu family would then come to the Han family for a discussion afterwards. After finally sending the Gu family away, Yang Su was very angry. ¡°Why don¡¯t we lock them out tomorrow so that they won¡¯t think about kidnapping Xiang Xiang?¡± Han Zheng was very displeased with the Gu family¡¯s actions of first acting before speaking. ¡°The whole family is very cunning, like a bunch of old foxes.¡± Han Yuan was still worried. ¡°I¡¯m leaving tomorrow night. Who¡¯s going to protect Xiang Xiang?¡± Grandpa Han, who had experienced the benefits of raising a granddaughter, muttered, ¡°Doesn¡¯t the Gu family just want a child? Send Han Yang over¡­¡± Han Yang was taken aback. ¡°Huh?¡± However, Han Qi, who was far away at the Hua Yue production team, would never have thought that his sister would almost be kidnapped after he had only left for one day. When they went to school the next day, Lu Huai and Wang Meng seemed to know something. They asked Han Xiang in a low voice out of curiosity, ¡°Xiang Xiang, I heard that you found your biological parents?¡± Han Xiang had nothing to say. She shook her head and nodded again. ¡°Then where are you going?¡± Wang Meng lowered her voice and asked again. Han Xiang shook her head. ¡°Xiang Xiang, how are you feeling now? Are you excited?¡± Lu Huai leaned closer and asked in a low voice. ¡°How did the two of you get to know about this?¡± ¡°Hahaha.¡± Wang Meng scratched her head and replied, ¡°My father told me. He said that he was discussing business with the chairman of the Gu family last night. He took the initiative to show off.¡± Lu Huai also laughed and said, ¡°My family lives quite close to the Gu family. I met Grandpa Gu, who was walking around. He was so happy that he ¡®accidentally¡¯ let it slip.¡± Although it was funny that the members of the Gu family tried their best to announce how they found their daughter, at this moment, both of them were sincerely happy that Han Xiang could find her biological parents. Moreover, the Gu family was one of the few very wealthy families in S City. With the love of the Han family and the love of the Gu family, Han Xiang would die of happiness in the future. Moreover, the Han family and the Gu family only had sons. Han Xiang was the only daughter of both families, and she was the treasure that both families fought over. Han Xiang had a headache whenever she thought about the battlefield at noon. She really could not bear this feeling of happiness and suffering. When Han Xiang came out of school at noon, a new problem appeared. In order to prevent the Gu family from kidnapping Han Xiang, her adoptive mother, Yang Su, drove her car to the school gate to pick Han Xiang up. He Qiao, who missed Han Xiang, also drove her car to the school gate to wait. When Han Xiang noticed that both cars had come to pick her up, the two women were staring at each other. When they saw Han Xiang, they shouted at the same time: ¡°Baby, come here.¡± ¡°Xiang Xiang, mommy is here.¡± Han Xiang paused for a moment and got into Yang Su¡¯s car. Thus, in the first round, He Qiao lost. When they reached the Han family, the original group from yesterday gathered again. Everyone was extremely nervous. The Han family had the hope that Han Xiang might not really be the daughter of the Gu family, while the Gu family was nervous about whether they would be accepted by Han Xiang. In fact, there was a high probability that the results of the paternity test would be conclusive. The Han family just did not want to believe it and wanted to buy some time. When everyone opened the test report and found that the DNA was more than 99.99% similar, their emotions became complicated. He Qiao asked tentatively, ¡°Xiang Xiang, go back with us?¡± Go back to the Gu Family? Although the conditions there were as good as the Han family¡¯s, Han Xiang still could not bear to part with the Han family that she had spent so much time with. Grandpa Han sighed and said, ¡°Xiang Xiang, don¡¯t¡­¡± Before he could finish his sentence, Han Zheng interrupted him. ¡°Dad, let Xiang Xiang make her own decision.¡± Looking at everyone¡¯s expectant gazes, Han Xiang felt that she needed to explain herself. ¡°Yes¡­ because I¡¯ve been with the Han family for so many years, I still want to stay with them.¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t you come back with us? We will take good care of you.¡± He Qiao was still working hard to win her over when she heard this. ¡°The Han family has always taken good care of me..¡± Chapter 38 Seeing Han Xiang¡¯s indifferent attitude, the Gu family felt sad and blamed themselves. ¡°Xiang Xiang, I know that you¡­¡± Gu Yuan wanted to explain and untie the knot in Han Xiang¡¯s heart that made her think that she had been abandoned, by saying that the Gu family would make up for the debt they owed Han Xiang. However, Han Xiang interrupted Gu Yuan¡¯s words and took the place of the original host, Han Xiang, and she replied seriously, ¡°No, I¡¯m not blaming the Gu family. Ever since I was five years old, I have never experienced hardship. The Han family has given me a very good and happy family. It¡¯s my fortune to be able to meet the Han family and be adopted by the Han family. I cherish my current life very much. Although I¡¯m very happy and touched to be able to find my biological parents, I still want to continue my life in the Han family. I don¡¯t want to leave.¡± This was the first time Han Xiang had expressed her feelings for the Han family since she transmigrated to this book¡¯s world. Everyone in the Han family was moved when they heard such a sincere and firm confession. Even the usually stubborn Grandpa Han¡¯s eyes turned red as he muttered to himself, ¡°Good granddaughter, good granddaughter¡­¡± The members of the Gu family also understood and didn¡¯t know what to say for a moment. They were very excited and happy to find the Gu family¡¯s daughter who had been lost for many years. When they learned that Han Xiang had been adopted by the Han family and that she had always been doted on, they were worried that the Han family would not give in and ¡°return¡± her to them as the Gu family¡¯s daughter. Therefore, the Gu family decided to act first and report later. A large family came directly to the Han family¡¯s residence to show the Gu family¡¯s determination and prudence. Before the Han family could react, they would take the Gu family¡¯s daughter home so that the two families would not fight over her. Even if Han Xiang resented the Gu family, the Gu family was willing to offer her everything just so that Han Xiang could understand and accept the Gu family. However, they did not expect that after Han Xiang met her biological parents, not only did she not resent the Gu family, but she even calmly expressed her understanding of the Gu family¡¯s mistakes in the past. She did not cry, be angry, or be resentful as the Gu family had imagined. The young girl just stood quietly in front of everyone and calmly told them that she was very good with staying with the Han family and did not want to go back. He Qiao looked at Han Xiang and started crying again. She felt sorry for Han Xiang for the grievances she had suffered after leaving her parents for so many years. However, how could the original host Han Xiang not feel sad about her identity as an ¡°adopted daughter¡±? The three brothers of the Han family were all very outstanding. Han Xiang was always compared to them by others, proving that the adopted children were different from the biological children. Under this pressure and Han Xiang¡¯s inferiority complex, the original host could only become more and more rebellious, proving that she was loved by the Han family by causing trouble for the Han family and being unique. However, after Han Xiang came, she tried a gentler and more rational way, and found that the Han family had always been warm to the original host, Han Xiang, but the original host did not discover their kinship. If she had always been loved, then there would be nothing to complain about, so Han Xiang said that it did not matter. Grandpa Gu, who had been looking at Han Xiang with heartache, said, ¡°Since Xiang Xiang does not want to go home, then listen to her. But the Gu family must give Xiang Xiang everything. We will definitely let Xiang Xiang see the sincerity of the Gu family.¡± Since the Gu family was willing to give in, the rest of the matters would be easier to discuss. The Gu family said that they would hold a large-scale banquet on Thursday, the day after tomorrow to celebrate the recovery of their daughter, Han Xiang, who had been lost for 12 years, and inform the public. As for the matter of wanting Han Xiang to go back to the Gu family, the Gu family felt that they had to be patient in this matter. There was no reason for the Han family not to agree to this matter of giving Han Xiang status with them. However, they requested the two families to hold a joint event together to show how much they valued Han Xiang. After everything was settled, Han Zheng pulled Han Xiang over and said to her in a low voice, ¡°The Gu family¡­ is your biological family after all. It hasn¡¯t been easy to find you all these years. If you¡¯re willing, you can introduce yourself to them.¡± Then, the members of the Gu family looked at the young girl who had remained calm all this while. She walked up to the Gu family and greeted each and every one of them. ¡°Mom,¡± Han Xiang was the first to walk up to He Qiao and said to the woman who was crying her eyes out. Seeing that He Qiao¡¯s tears, which she had tried so hard to stop, began to fall again, Han Xiang comforted her gently, ¡°Don¡¯t cry. Didn¡¯t you find me again? You should be happy.¡± It should be like this. She had finally found her daughter whom she had been looking for, for more than ten years. She should be happy. Thus, He Qiao teared up and laughed softly. Yang Su stared at Han Xiang¡¯s hand that was gently stroking He Qiao¡¯s shoulder to express comfort. She was jealous and actually wanted to cry. This way, Han Xiang would not pay so much attention to the other ¡°mother.¡±. Under He Qiao¡¯s tears, Yang Su lost the second round. On the other side, the two women were still secretly fighting over who was the better mother. On this side, Han Xiang came in front of her biological father, Gu Nan, and called out, ¡°Daddy.¡±. Gu Nan looked at his daughter in front of him with great happiness. The girl was well-behaved and sweet. Her facial features were exquisitely carved. Her features resembled He Qiao¡¯s, but her nose was a little like his. And he had been looking forward to having a caring little girl to take care of for a long time.. Chapter 39 Gu Nan had been looking for her for more than ten years, and his hair had turned white. When he heard that Gu Yuan had found his daughter, he immediately brought his family to the Han family¡¯s residence. After Gu Nan complimented Han Xiang, he took out a card from the left pocket of his vest. This was a limited-edition ¡°Dragon year commemorative lucky card¡± issued by the bank of Z Nation. It could be changed into a better card when the bank¡¯s savings reached ten million, the card that Gu Nan took out was a red dragon. There was at least twenty million in it. Gu Nan did not wait for Han Xiang to refuse. He quickly stuffed it into Han Xiang¡¯s pocket and pretended as if nothing had happened. ¡°Xiang Xiang, the house has been redecorated according to your preferences. Come and take a look when you¡¯re free, okay?¡± Seeing the girl nod, Gu Nan watched her go to the old man with satisfaction. The old man only cared about looking at his granddaughter who was like a porcelain doll and giggled. He liked her very much. He stroked Han Xiang¡¯s head and pinched the young girl¡¯s palm. God knows how long it had been since a doll had appeared in the Gu family. Back then, when Han Xiang had been lost, Grandma Gu had been crying all day. Before she died, she had told everyone to find the child. Now, her long-cherished wish had come true, old Gu was so happy that he could not close his mouth. So, he took out another card from his pocket and stuffed it into Han Xiang¡¯s pocket. Han Xiang had taken so many cards and was already numb to it. She did not expect that one day, she, Han Xiang, would be able to see money as dirt. When it was the turn of Gu Yuan and Gu Ze, Gu Yuan said a little embarrassedly, ¡°It happened so suddenly. I did not sleep last night and did not have time to prepare. I¡¯ll make it up next time.¡± Then, he took out a necklace made of diamonds. Even under the dim natural light of the living room, it still shone brilliantly. When Gu Ze saw that his brother¡¯s so-called impromptu gift was actually like this, his eyes were wide open. When he saw Han Xiang coming over, he blushed and took out a lady¡¯s watch from his pocket. Compared to the gifts of the other members of the Gu family, he was really too unpresentable. However, Han Xiang was particularly fond of this small and exquisite lady¡¯s watch. She looked at it left and right. The watch lying in the small box was sparkling white. The pointer was a translucent and agile butterfly. It had the look of breaking out of its cocoon and becoming a butterfly. It also looked like it was about to fly. The side of the watch was inlaid with a ring of snow-white jade, surging with a warm luster, the strap was made of a material that was like silk but also very tough. It matched the simple and elegant dial of the watch. It was simply natural. ¡°This watch is very nice. Thank you, my brother.¡± Han Xiang smiled sweetly. She had a good impression of her brother who looked like her and was born a few minutes later. Being called her brother, Gu Ze, who had always been the youngest at home, felt his heart melt. He wished he could give her his heart. Seeing that Han Xiang liked it, he said shyly, ¡°I designed it myself.¡± ¡°Wow, that¡¯s amazing.¡± Han Xiang admired the watch in her hand. She felt that this design was even better than some of the big brands. ¡°No, but it¡¯s my favorite work.¡± ¡°You can design these? Wow.¡± Han Yang, who was at the side, saw Han Xiang and Gu Ze chatting happily and felt lonely in his heart. During the time when their relationship had been restored, he had never given Han Xiang a gift that she liked, but the opportunity to do so had been snatched by the second son of the Gu family. Gu Ze had even chatted so happily with Han Xiang. Sigh, it was all his fault for not knowing how to chat. At this moment, another person secretly made up his mind to treat Han Xiang better. After finally sending away the Gu family, who were reluctant to part with Han Xiang, everyone was relieved. Yang Su was always afraid that his precious daughter, Han Xiang, would be snatched away. She held onto Han Xiang¡¯s hand, but she did not know what to say. All she could do was sigh. No matter how reluctant she was, she could not stop Han Xiang from meeting her biological parents. Furthermore, they were so good to her. Han Zheng also sat beside Han Xiang. His emotions were very complicated. He had watched his daughter grow from a little girl with short legs and stubby arms to a slim and graceful figure. He had also watched Han Xiang transform from a rebellious and ignorant girl to a sensible, obedient, cute, and sweet girl. The sudden appearance of the Gu family¡­ they wanted to snatch away his sweet little angel. It was really hard to accept. Han Xiang understood the complicated feelings of the two of them. She held Han Zheng¡¯s and Yang Su¡¯s hands and comforted them, ¡°You will always be my parents. Don¡¯t worry. I will always be a member of the Han family.¡± Hearing this, Yang Su¡¯s heart was finally relieved. Thinking that Han Xiang still had to go to school later, she said, ¡°I am free for now. From now on, I will send you to school.¡± Yang Su¡¯s move was actually to prevent the Gu family from taking advantage of the situation, especially the two pretty boys in the Gu family. Which girl didn¡¯t like pretty boys? Only Han Qi could compete with the two of them. At this moment, Han Qi was practicing his song in his room. The first round of the group competition would be recorded in two hours. He was a little nervous, but looking at himself in the mirror, he felt confident again. ¡°If only I could contact my family.. Achoo! Who¡¯s talking about me?¡± Chapter 40 After school, Han Xiang saw Yang Su looking for her at the school gate. She was in a good mood, so she squeezed out of the crowd and held Yang Su¡¯s hand, saying, ¡°Mom, let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll take you to a new place today.¡± Han Xiang directed Yang Su to drive all the way to the entrance of the racing club. Yang Su looked up at the flashy club with a picture of a drifting racing car with sparks on its head. She was confused. Was her daughter used to liking such exciting things? No wonder she dressed like a hip-hop dancer for a while. However, Yang Su still quietly followed her daughter all the way to the club. Under the lead of the flattering manager, they arrived at the empty training ground behind. It was already evening. The setting sun illuminated the surroundings with warm orange light. On the spiral track of the training ground, there was only one red racing car running. In less than ten seconds, the red race car sped past the three of them, creating a wave of heat. Then, it made a beautiful drift at the next corner, grinding out a clear trajectory on the ground. When it passed through a section of the road with a higher slope¡­ the race car actually chose to continue accelerating. The sudden drop in altitude caused the red race car to leap up from the track. In an instant, it covered the orange sunset. Even Yang Su and Han Xiang, who did not know much about racing cars, could not help but exclaim in surprise. ¡°The young man recommended by Miss Han is very talented and very hard-working. He has the same training requirements every day. He is more capable and hard-working than the other players in the club.¡± The manager introduced, and then he said into the walkie-talkie, ¡°Chang Ying, Miss Han is here.¡± When the fiery red race car suddenly stopped, a slender leg stretched out from inside, and the racer in training clothes warmly waved at Han Xiang and the others. When he strode over, Yang Su suddenly had a bad feeling. ¡°Mom, this is Chang Ying, the big brother who had taken care of me when I was at the Welfare Institute.¡± ¡®My baby daughter has another brother?!¡¯ ¡°Little Xiang, you finally remembered to visit me?¡± Before Chang Ying arrived, he had already greeted her. From afar, he saw a middle-aged woman standing next to Han Xiang. Chang Ying had guessed who she was, so he greeted her sweetly, ¡°Auntie Yang Su, I¡¯m Chang Ying.¡± Yang Su also responded with a friendly sentence. Then, he heard his daughter talking to the tall racing driver skillfully. ¡°Your biological parents are from the Gu Family? Headed by Gu Nan who is famous for making movies? That¡¯s great!¡± After learning that Han Xiang had found a blood relative, Chang Ying laughed happily. ¡°You, little Xiang, you secretly helped me. Sigh, I don¡¯t know what to say to you. I¡¯ve been taking the E-class license test recently. Once I get the license, I can participate in national competitions. ¡°The Gu family will hold a banquet tomorrow? Okay, I will definitely come!¡± After looking at the current situation of Chang Ying and bringing up the words she wanted to tell Chang Ying, Han Xiang¡¯s mind showed that the mission, ¡°Change Chang Ying¡¯s fate¡¯s trajectory¡± had been completed and the reward was 800 points. Then, she started a new side mission ¡°Help Chang Ying win the first national championship.¡±. Thursday came very quickly. On this day, the Gu and Han families were very busy. They were busy inviting friends and relatives, contacting the media, and preparing for the banquet. Han Xiang took a whole day off and came to the hotel under the Gu enterprise early. She looked at the busy crowd curiously. Some of the guests had already arrived and were sitting around talking about the ¡°rumors¡± of the Han and Gu families. Han Xiang listened to everyone¡¯s ridiculous speculations about the affairs between the Han and Gu families. Then, she left the hall and went to the open-air garden on the second floor to rest. While she was looking around at the exquisite design of the Gu Hotel, Han Xiang saw a group of people with black umbrellas walking into the hotel from afar. The banquet was very grand and there were many celebrities and socialites attending it. It was not strange for people with black umbrellas to come in. However, Han Xiang inadvertently caught a glimpse of an intriguing person who was clustered in the middle of this group of people. They had a pair of very beautiful eyes. And she recognized those eyes. They belonged to ¡°Mr. Wei¡±, who had once competed with her for a calligraphy scroll at the charity banquet. But after the end of the banquet, she had asked Han Zheng about this ¡°Mr. Wei¡±, but Han Zheng shook his head, indicating that there was no wealthy Wei family in S City. But this ¡°Mr. Wei¡± had an extraordinary temperament, and he had deep eyes and looked like a foreigner. He was definitely not a nobody. Han Xiang suddenly had a flash of lightning in her mind. She hurriedly took out her phone and pulled out a photo of a person and compared it with the ¡°Mr. Wei¡± in her memory. Suddenly, she had a bold idea. However, this idea immediately sent a chill down Han Xiang¡¯s spine. If her guess was confirmed, then would the life of the protagonist in this book suddenly change?
