Xia Sheng expressionlessly watched her uncle and his family put on a show of having deep family ties. She even allowed her aunt to grab her hand.

“Child, your uncle and I treat you like our own child. Why didn’t you tell us that you were leaving?”

She coldly watched her uncle and his family pretend to dote on her and continued to talk to Song Mingyuan. Xia Sheng was indifferent and even curious about what Song Mingyuan would do.

Song Mingyuan glanced at Uncle Xia and his family before turning to Xia Sheng gently. “Sheng Sheng, go sit over there first. Leave this matter to me.”

Xia Sheng did not say anything and obediently sat aside.

Only then did Song Mingyuan pull Uncle Xia’s family away with a cold face and go straight to the point. “I don’t want to see you guys again, so just pretend you never knew Sheng Sheng.”

“This… Sheng Sheng is our child after all, how can we say we won’t see her again?” Auntie was the first to protest. What a joke. She only realized now that Xia Sheng was a money tree. If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have sold her. It was impossible for her to give up on this money tree. She still wanted her family to benefit from it. “I’m really worried about Sheng Sheng. We have to take care of her. Why don’t you take us with you?”

Song Mingyuan sneered and took out a contract. “This is your contract to sell Sheng Sheng. I originally wanted to let you go on account of you raising Sheng Sheng, but it seems like you are unwilling.”

Uncle Xia and his family panicked. Why was the contract with him?

“Get lost while I’m still in a good mood. You’re not allowed to appear in front of Sheng Sheng ever again. Otherwise, I’ll make sure you end up in jail.”

They had originally wanted to make a fortune, but they did not expect to be threatened. Uncle Xia and his family looked at each other and didn’t dare to say anything else. They ran away with their tails between their legs.

After making sure they were far away, Song Mingyuan took a deep breath and composed himself. He put on a gentle expression and pulled Xia Sheng up. “Let’s go. I’ll bring you home.”

This hand was too warm for Xia Sheng to reject. She yearned for the care and protection of her family. “If I wasn’t your sister, would you be disappointed?” She couldn’t help but ask.

Song Mingyuan held her hand tightly and turned back. He said firmly, “You are my sister.”

This made Xia Sheng curious. Why was he so sure that she was his sister?

She knew the moment she entered the Song family, she saw a middle-aged woman who looked very similar to her. Her curly hair was tied up and she was dressed simply but elegantly. She was tall and slender. Even though she was middle-aged, she did not lose out to young women. She had her own charm. When she saw Xia Sheng, she was so excited that she could barely stand. Without saying anything, her tears started to fall.

Seeing her, Xia Sheng understood why Song Mingyuan was so sure that she was his sister. They looked so alike. They were either mother and daughter or sisters.

“My child, my child!” Mrs. Song finally couldn’t take it anymore and stumbled over.

Xia Sheng’s heart skipped a beat. She reacted faster than she did and went forward to support her.

“…” For a moment, she didn’t know what to call her. Her mouth opened and closed. “You, you be careful.”

“Mom was too excited.” Song Mingyuan came over in time. He was afraid that Xia Sheng would feel awkward and uncomfortable.

Mother Song held onto Xia Sheng’s hand tightly, as if afraid that she would disappear in the next second.

Right at this moment, a low cough sounded from behind everyone. Xia Sheng looked over curiously.

At the corner of the stairs stood a petite girl with a pale face. She was panting slightly and was wearing untainted white pajamas. She looked like an angel who had descended to the mortal world. When she saw Xia Sheng, her body trembled and her frail appearance made Xia Sheng frown.

This is a sick version of Xi Shi?

She bit her lip and said in a trembling voice, “Hello, I’m Song Qian, I’m…”

Song Mingyuan had a complicated expression on his face as he interrupted Song Qian, “You can just call her Xiao Qian. Treat her like a younger sister.”

Mother Song looked a little awkward as she wiped her tears and pulled Xia Sheng to sit down. “I heard from your brother that your name is Sheng Sheng, Xia Sheng. What a nice name.”

“Sister, since you’re back, you should change your surname to Song. The name Song Qian was originally hers. Let me return it to her.”

Upon hearing her words, a look of guilt flashed across Mother Song’s face. “What are you talking about? You’re Song Qian.” Song Qian was overjoyed, but before she could rejoice, Mother continued, “You are you, Sheng Sheng is Sheng Sheng. She doesn’t need to use your name.”

Song Qian’s smile froze on her face, and her hand on her leg tightened.

As they were talking, Father Song rushed back anxiously. He rushed in excitedly before he had even changed his clothes. He looked at Xia Sheng timidly and put his hand back.

“Daughter, is this our daughter?” Father Song asked Mother Song carefully.

Hearing her husband’s question, Mother Song started to cry again. She covered her mouth and nodded.

Father Song: “Good, good, good. You look like your mother.” He patted Mrs. Song’s shoulder comfortingly. “Our child is back so don’t cry.”

“Yes, mom keeps crying, you are going to scare our sister,” Song Mingyuan persuaded. Actually, he was just as excited as Mother Song.

Song Qian sat at the side. She looked jealously at Xia Sheng, who didn’t have much of a change in expression. Her heart was screaming with indignation. This woman took away everything that belonged to her the moment she returned. Mom. Dad. Brother. The people who used to love her didn’t even look at her! Also, she was the eldest daughter of the Song family. From now on, she was no longer the Song family’s eldest daughter. She had nothing to do with the Song family.

“Look at how agitated I am. Sheng Sheng, you should persuade mom too. Why do you look so unhappy?” Song Qian couldn’t help but sow discord.

Xia Sheng glanced at her speechlessly. Why do people always like to use such unpresentable methods to sow discord? “I’m not unhappy. I’m just tired.”

Song Mingyuan quickly stood up. “Let’s go. I’ll bring you to your room. Have a good rest. Dad, Mom, don’t disturb Sheng Sheng.”

How could Father and Mother Song be willing? However, they couldn’t bear to see their own daughter tired, so they could only nod reluctantly.

Xia Sheng stood up and so did Song Qian.

“Brother, I’ll bring Sheng Sheng along. You can go and get the gift you prepared for her.”

Song Mingyuan slapped his forehead. “How could I have forgotten about this? Yes, yes, yes. You bring Sheng Sheng along.”

Xia Sheng glanced at her. She knew Song Qian was up to something.

Let’s see what she wants to do..
