The abandoned daughter of a wealthy family turns out to be a lucky charm, changing the fate of her e

Shen Zhi unconsciously gripped the fabric of the skirt hem in her hand.

Shen Xingye didn't notice anything unusual about Shen Zhi. He got out of the car first, and after walking a few steps, he noticed that the girl was still sitting in the passenger seat without moving. He then turned back and opened the car door himself.

"Zhizhi, we're home. Get out of the car."

If Shen Zhi had known Shen Linchuan was home, she wouldn't have followed him even if she had beaten Shen Xingye unconscious.

The little girl slowly moved down: "Third brother, didn't you say there was no one else at home?"

"There's no one else here."

"Then, what is this...?"

Shen Zhi pointed her small hand towards the brightly lit living room.

"Oh! That's my eldest brother! Zhizhi, you don't even remember what he looks like?"

Shen Zhi: ……

Of course she knew that was the eldest brother!

She meant, why is my older brother still at home?

Shen Xingye continued walking forward, explaining, "My older brother has been very busy these past few years, constantly flying around, and it's common for him to be away from home for several days at a time. He probably just came home today."

Shen Zhi stood behind the man, her hand forming a knife shape, waving her forearm in a gesture, trying to figure out which angle to strike from that angle would knock him unconscious without damaging his brain.

This angle is fine... Shen Zhi raised it high, ready to chop it down.

Shen Xingye seemed to have thought of something and suddenly turned his head.

Shen Zhi hurriedly changed the trajectory of her arm in the air, awkwardly waving it a few times.

"Hehe...a mosquito is trying to bite me."

Shen Xingye didn't care about this matter, scratched the back of his head, and spoke in a consultative tone:

"Zhizhi, um, there's something I need to tell you, so you should be prepared."

Shen Zhi nodded obediently, quietly waiting for Shen Xingye to continue.

"Many years ago, my older brother... due to an accident, he..."

"Ano."

The boy's voice was abruptly interrupted by the calm and indifferent voice behind him.

Startled, Shen Xingye turned his head and immediately shut his mouth. His sideways movement exposed Shen Zhi to Shen Linchuan.

Without any warning.

Shen Zhi never expected that her first meeting with Shen Linchuan after thirteen years would be under such circumstances.

His gaze was indifferent, as if he were looking at a stranger.

He even lingered on her for only three seconds before moving away.

Perhaps because of the overwhelming joy Shen Xingye felt when he first saw her, the difference was too great, and the soreness in Shen Zhi's heart became even more pronounced.

She lowered her head first, raised her hand and pinched the area between her thumb and forefinger, as if only in this way could she relieve the pain.

I took a deep breath before daring to look up and greet them:

"Big brother, it's been a long time!"

Shen Linchuan paused for a few seconds, seemingly lost in thought, then simply gave a soft "hmm" and looked at Shen Xingye again:

"Why didn't you go inside after you got home? Are you just standing at the door feeding mosquitoes?"

"They're coming in, brother. You just got back today?"

"Yes. Congratulations on winning the championship."

Shen Xingye smiled smugly upon hearing the praise, and was about to say something more when Shen Linchuan's phone rang.

He turned around and went upstairs first in order to answer the phone.

The first conversation after many years was abruptly interrupted by a work-related discussion, and Shen Zhi had to keep her eyes wide open to prevent them from overflowing with tears.

How annoying.

Why has my older brother become so annoying?

"Zhizhi, my brother lost his... "

"Third brother." Shen Zhi yawned, which made the tears welling up in her eyes even more understandable. "I'm so sleepy. Can I go upstairs to sleep first? We can talk about other things later, okay?"

Shen Xingye was slightly taken aback when he saw Shen Zhi's nonchalant smile, but then he thought that the girl probably didn't care that much.

After all, judging from her appearance today, she has no shortage of people who treat her well. In addition, she was young back then, so she may not remember many things.

Since Zhizhi has finally come back, let's not talk about those unpleasant things for now.

Shen Xingye had already come up with a reason, and with a smile, he pushed her in front of him, placed his hands on her shoulders, and pushed her into the house:

"Okay~ We'll keep your room. It's cleaned every week, but we might need to make the bed again. Your third brother will help you make it in a bit."

Returning to her familiar bedroom, Shen Zhi smiled knowingly upon seeing all the familiar decorations and desk.

He reached out and took the fisherman's hat off the skeleton clothes hanger, then turned it around and played with it in his hand.

Shen Xingye looked carefree and not very good at housework, but he was skilled at making the bed and didn't let Shen Zhi lift a finger.

"Zhizhi, go wash up first. If you need anything, call your third brother and he'll get it for you."

As long as she wasn't alone with Shen Linchuan, Shen Zhi and the rest of the Shen family didn't feel uncomfortable.

Moreover, she had been standing in the sun for a long time today, and even though she wasn't actually in the sun, the heat reflected from the ground had made her sweat a lot. She had been wanting to take a shower for a while, so she didn't hesitate to decline.

"I'll go then."

"Okay, go ahead! Leave this to Third Brother."

"it is good."

After taking a shower, Shen Zhi checked the group chat messages between herself, Guan Xing, and Liang Yang while applying body lotion.

Those two were actually plotting to break into the Shen family's house in the middle of the night and take her away!

!!!

[Zhizhi]: Absolutely not! Dude... This is China, trespassing will get you arrested and jailed!

[Star]: Shen Xingye kidnapped you without permission, doesn't he have to go to jail?

...It seems so too.

Shen Zhi knew they were worried about her safety, but she was in the Shen family home and nothing unexpected would happen to her that night.

[Zhizhi]: I'll leave as soon as it's light tomorrow. It's just one night. I can take care of myself.

Just as Shen Zhi was about to offer some further advice, there was a knock on the bathroom door.

"Zhizhi, hand me the clothes you took off, I'll take them to wash and dry them for you."

The entire Shen family went out, so they gave the housekeeper a day off, leaving Shen Xingye to take care of Shen Zhi alone.

"Ouch..." Shen Zhi wiped the body lotion off her hands, opened a small crack, and handed over her dirty clothes. "Thank you for your trouble, Third Brother."

Shen Zhi didn't think there was anything wrong with this, as her brothers had always taken care of her when she was in the Li family.

Even when she got her first period and soiled her clothes, her older brother wrapped her in his own clothes while they were eating out. Afraid that the young girl would be shy, he personally went out to buy sanitary napkins and spare underwear for Shen Zhi.

Shen Zhi didn't have a clear understanding of the boundaries between boys and girls, and since she treated Shen Xingye as her brother, she placed the underwear on top when she handed it over.

Shen Xingye was clearly taken aback when he saw this.

After hurriedly taking it, her cheeks quickly turned bright red, the blush spreading from her cheeks to her neck.

This size... Zhizhi has really grown up.

Shen Xingye used the hem of her skirt to cover herself, as if she were grabbing some dangerous item, and hurriedly rushed to the laundry room, then separated the clothes and put them into the corresponding washing machines.

Then, her face flushed, she ran out and opened the window to let in some fresh air.

He felt like his head was about to explode.

He hadn't thought there was anything wrong with treating Zhizhi like a younger sister before, but just now, he felt like he was turning into a beast.

How could he react like that to Zhizhi's underwear?

Zhizhi is his sister!

But Zhizhi and he aren't related by blood...
