Transmigrated into the body of a villain, I became my sister's savior.

After sitting for a long time, Lin Jianshen suddenly said, "Alright, it's getting late, go back to sleep."

Song Siyuan was very worried about his condition: "Brother Biao, are you alright on your own?"

Lin Jianshen said, "It's alright, go back and rest early."

"Bring my car over tomorrow morning, I need to use it."

Song Siyuan nodded: "Okay."

When Song Siyuan walked out of the residential area, the wind was still howling.

The wind was strong, so Xia Tingwan opened the car window and then closed it again.

The wind in Beijing is too dry; the air in the East China Sea is much more humid.

It's really uncomfortable when the wind blows on your face.

The car drove onto the winding mountain road and then stopped next to a villa halfway up the mountain.

Xia Wenshan got out of the car and said to Xia Tingwan, "The alleys of the courtyard houses near the Second Ring Road are too narrow and the transportation is inconvenient."

"So our family mainly lives here."

Xia Tingwan's cooperation along the way softened his tone: "Come on, Dad will take you inside to have a look."

Xia Tingwan nodded: "Okay."

Xia Wenshan's tone made her feel very uncomfortable, as if insects were crawling all over her.

But she hid it very well.

Her tone was tinged with trepidation, unease, and a longing for family affection as she answered.

She was very talented, and she had acted with her brother Ah Shen for so long.

Xia Wenshan didn't notice anything unusual.

Hearing her melodious voice, a hint of nostalgia appeared on his face.

They look so alike, so incredibly alike.

Like that stunningly beautiful woman.

Their appearance, movements, and expressions were as if they were carved from the same mold.

Even the voice is similar.

Passing the screen wall at the entrance, the pavilions, towers, rockeries and fish ponds along the way are all ingeniously designed.

After walking along the corridor for a while, the group entered the main hall.

The room was brightly lit, and several people were sitting on the sofa.

Xia Wenshan introduced, "Come on, Wanwan, let me introduce you."

He pointed to a young woman wearing an LV dress and carrying a Gucci handbag: "This is the eldest sister, Xia Yunlu, who is a year older than you."

Xia Yunlu is good-looking, but she has an arrogant air about her that makes people dislike her.

Xia Tingwan nodded to her.

Xia Yunlu gave her a wary look.

Xia Wenshan pointed to another girl and said, "This is your younger sister, Xia Rou, who is one year younger than you."

The girl looked somewhat timid and had a delicate, frail appearance.

Xia Tingwan nodded to her.

Xia Rou called out "Sister" hesitantly.

Besides Xia Yunlu and Xia Rou, there was also a middle-aged man in his early forties.

Xia Wenshan introduced, "This is my younger brother, Xia Xueyi. You can call him Second Uncle."

Xia Tingwan called out, "Second Uncle."

Xia Xueyi nodded.

Xia Wenshan said, "Alright, I'm back now. Xueyi, you go to the hospital to take care of the old man."

"I'll relieve you on shift tomorrow."

Xia Xueyi responded and got up to leave the living room.

Xia Wenshan said, "You also have a grandfather, but his health hasn't been very good lately."

"I spend most of my time sleeping."

"If I wake up and can't see my family, I'll get angry."

He sat down on a single sofa and crossed his legs.

He added, "You will definitely live a life free from worries about food and clothing in the future. Luxury cars, famous watches, handbags, and so on will be no problem for you."

He glanced at Xia Yunlu and said, "Don't buy counterfeit goods anymore. My Xia family can't afford to lose face like this."

Xia Yunlu's face flushed red.

Xia Wenshan added, "I won't restrict your freedom too much, as long as you don't leave the capital."

"I don't even care about your private lives, but there's one thing: you can't have any diseases, and you can't have any children."

In Xia Wenshan's view, after marriage, the men and women in a large family mostly live separate lives.

Pure love is very rare, so there is no point in restricting private life.

He glanced at the three of them: "Do you understand?"

The three of them nodded in unison.

Xia Rou and Xia Tingwan have weaknesses that are exploited, while Xia Yunlu is vain and hopes to marry into a wealthy family, so they are both very cooperative.

Xia Wenshan was satisfied with their attitude and said, "You can rest for the night. Who will be willing to go to the hospital to take care of the old man tomorrow?"

Xia Tingwan stood up: "I'll go."

Xia Wenshan nodded: "I said that obedient children will be rewarded. Butler, choose a house for her to transfer tomorrow."

The butler nodded.

Xia Yunlu was a step too slow and missed the opportunity.

She wasn't very shrewd, and although she tried her best to control her expression, her annoyance was still written all over her face.

Xia Tingwan's assessment of her was that she was not as good as Sun Yu.

Xia Wenshan said, "Wanwan, the driver will take you there tomorrow."

That's all for today, you can go and rest now.

The housekeeper instructed the nannies to come forward and lead the three to their respective rooms.

The room was indeed fully equipped.

The clothes are all newly bought luxury brands, and they fit perfectly.

There's also a newly bought computer on the desk.

Xia Tingwan turned on her computer and downloaded the code she had written from the cloud.

The next morning, after Xia Tingwan finished breakfast, the housekeeper arranged for a driver to come in and take her out.

The old man lives in a private nursing home.

The ward was as luxurious as a hotel's presidential suite.

Xia Tingwan's task was to switch shifts with Xia Xueyi.

This job is very simple; there's no need to take care of the old man—that's handled by a professional team.

All they need to do is ensure that when the old man is awake, his family is around and that he doesn't lose his temper.

Xia Tingwan took the initiative to come, indicating that cooperation was only one aspect.

On the other hand, he wanted to get to know Xia Xueyi as soon as possible so that he could easily extract information from him.

When the driver helped her push open the door, Xia Xueyi was sitting on the sofa next to the hospital bed.

He asked in surprise, "Why is it you?"

Xia Tingwan said, "My dad arranged for me to come here."

"Since I've never met Grandpa before, I came to keep him company."

"Second Uncle, what happened to Grandpa?"

Xia Xueyi said, "I'm getting old, I have a lot of heart problems, insufficient blood supply, and I'm very sleepy."

Xia Tingwan said, "I'll keep an eye on things here for now, Second Uncle, you should go back and rest."

She's smart and capable, and she has a professional team here, so there's nothing to worry about.

Moreover, the old man usually doesn't wake up during this time. Xia Xueyi nodded: "Then thank you for your trouble."

Xia Tingwan and Xia Xueyi had their first interaction.

You can't rush things when trying to get information; if you're too hasty, you'll easily give yourself away.

Xia Tingwan pondered that Xia Yunlu was ahead of her, so even if it was a marriage alliance, Xia Yunlu should go first.

It's not her turn yet.

Moreover, among the three, she was the best raised and had the highest overall qualities, so she was definitely the last one to appear.

So she still has time—to kill Xia Wenshan before he decides who she will marry.

She sat on the sofa, unable to stop thinking about Lin Jianshen.

Lin Jianshen then drove to Old Li's house.

Old Li's house has already undergone a simple renovation.

The plastic film on the windows has been replaced with glass.

The sky was a bit overcast today, and the wind was still howling, but the plastic sheeting no longer made a rustling noise.

A grape trellis was set up in the yard, and some morning glories were planted next to it.

Clothes are no longer stuffed into baskets—the house now has several wardrobes, covered with childlike, colorful stickers.

The changes are quite significant, perhaps because the lady of the house has returned.

The blind old lady has already reunited with her husband.

Old Li usually has to go to work, so his wife Guan Rong went home.

She was in her forties, her hair was mostly white, and she had many wrinkles on her face.

His neck was always hunched forward, and he looked somewhat wooden.

Lin Jianshen guessed that this was because he had been working with his head down on the assembly line for many years.

Old Li and Old Wang were still busy in the kitchen.

Guan Rong wasn't a very good cook, so she stayed in the main room to entertain guests.

She didn't know what to say, so she rambled on about these trivial things at the factory.

Their factory operates on a piece-rate system; the faster you work and the more items you assemble, the higher your wages.

Even though muscle memory has been formed, efficiency is definitely higher when not speaking.

In order to earn more money for her child's medicine, Guan Rong rarely spoke while working at the factory.

This resulted in her poor language expression skills; her speech lacked logic and often became incoherent.

Many things that people think are funny are actually a bit risqué and not funny at all.

Perhaps she realized it too, and awkwardly shut her mouth, first apologizing to Lin Jianshen, and then thanking him.

She said the surgery fee was crucial.

Niu Niu is now completely cured.

Their family will definitely pay back the money—they won't be able to pay it back in this lifetime, they'll continue to pay it back when Niu Niu grows up.

Lin Jianshen smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay."

Many things have changed here, but some things remain the same.

The old, peeling fan was still spinning creaking overhead.

The swallows on the roof beams have returned.

The love nest is complete, and you can still hear the chirping of swallows inside.

The two swallows flew in and out, bringing food for the baby swallows.

Lin Jianshen stared blankly at the swallows on the roof beam, lost in thought.

"Dinner's ready," came Old Li's voice from the kitchen.

Guan Rong wasn't very good at entertaining guests, so she breathed a sigh of relief and went to the kitchen to get the dishes.

Lin Jianshen came to his senses and realized it wouldn't be right to just wait there.

She also went to the kitchen to help serve the dishes.

A light rain started falling from the sky at some point.

The wind has also weakened a bit.

But the morning glories on the wall still withered.

This flower often blooms in the early morning and withers in the afternoon, hence the name "morning glory".

Lin Jianshen gazed at the fallen flowers and felt as if he could hear the sound of them falling.

Looking up, I saw the two swallows fly away together again.

A lone figure stands amidst falling blossoms.

Swallows fly in pairs in the light rain.
