Chapter 294 That's really impressive, being so eloquent.
He Su's expression froze; he looked at Wu Zhao with a mixture of doubt and disbelief.
"Ah...you mean, my sister is in danger?"
"Really, really?"
Wu Zhao remained silent for a moment, then looked at He Su's face again.
"You and your sister are orphans, but you are not biological siblings. However, you grew up together and depended on each other, and your relationship is just like that of real siblings. Right?"
He Su's gaze turned cold, and he took two steps back with slight wariness.
"How did you know? Could it be that you are..."
Just then, He Xi ran out, smiling and holding up a camera.
"Sister, let's take a picture together in a bit!"
Before she could finish speaking, He Su pulled her behind him.
"What's wrong, brother? What are you doing?"
He Xi frowned in surprise.
"I think you came here not only to relax, but also to escape trouble, right?"
"Was it the day after my sister turned 18 that someone came to our door to claim her as family?"
He Su held He Xi tightly, his eyes filled with incomprehension and warning.
"Are you someone sent from over there? Trying to take my sister away?!"
He Xi peeked out from behind her brother, her eyes reddening.
"Sister, could it be that you really are..."
The two people were experiencing significant emotional fluctuations, as if something sensitive had been touched.
They seem terrified, practically seeing threats everywhere.
"Don't be nervous. Didn't I tell you? I'm a mystic."
"Your sister is the youngest daughter of a wealthy family who was abandoned outside, right? She is the only bloodline left in that family, and they left her a huge inheritance."
"But... that family also has an adopted son who's trying everything to get rid of your sister. Isn't that right?"
He Xi's face originally suggested a life of happiness with both parents alive. But then there's He Su beside her…
In stark contrast to her, he was destined to be a lone star, cursed by fate.
"Fortunately, the old housekeeper of your sister's household was still loyal to her and warned your foster brother in advance that he was going to do something. The old housekeeper sent you out, which saved you from a disaster."
He Su protected his younger sister very well.
With the help of the old butler, He Su has helped He Xi get her rightful share of the property.
Fearing that the madman would resort to desperate measures, he took his sister and fled abroad.
Wu Zhao looked at He Su with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
This cursed lone star is indeed incredibly resilient.
If it weren't for He Xi by his side, He Su would likely have died much earlier.
However... even if it weren't for He Su, He Xi's fate wouldn't have changed.
These two have influenced each other, haven't they?
He Xi changed He Su's fate, but in doing so, she also sacrificed her own...
Wu Zhao didn't tell them this; she closed her eyes.
"You, how did you know? So you... really are a sorcerer?"
He Su was somewhat surprised to hear Wu Zhao describe the two people's situation so clearly.
He Xi's eyes widened as well.
"Sister, you're amazing!"
You guessed it all!
He Su covered her mouth, preventing her from speaking anymore.
He smiled at Wu Zhao with a hint of helplessness.
"I'm sorry, Xixi... is a bit naive."
Wu Zhao shook his head, seemingly unconcerned.
"She's doing very well."
"Although you have taken revenge on that person, he is vengeful and will not let you off the hook. Your sister's subsequent death... was related to him."
If they hadn't met Wu Zhao, they would have gotten closer and closer to that scheming person in the tour group.
They were then deceived by that person, and in the end, both of them died far from home.
"You guys shouldn't be wandering around outside lately. If that person can't find an opportunity, he might just give up on playing along."
"Go back to China as soon as possible. Only there are people who can protect you."
The old butler had a deep affection for the wealthy family, and naturally, for their only daughter, He Xi.
After discovering his adopted son's wolfish ambitions, the old butler began to devise ways to protect He Xi.
The old steward only sent them abroad temporarily, but he never expected that even when the adopted son was preoccupied with his own problems, he wouldn't forget to take revenge on the siblings.
"The old steward will deal with that adopted son soon, and he will protect you when you get back."
He Su hesitated for a moment, thinking of the shrewd old man.
"Grandpa Qin was indeed very kind to us... but my sister and I didn't like the atmosphere in that house..."
He Xi nodded as well.
"They have too many rules..."
No wonder. Wu Zhao chuckled.
These two are used to their freedom and would definitely not be used to the many rules and regulations of a wealthy family.
"You will eventually have to go back."
He Xi's fate is already intertwined with that of a wealthy family.
If they don't go back, He Su's fate will soon increasingly affect He Xi.
In the end, both of them will die.
He Su thought she meant that inheriting a large sum of money meant having to pay a price.
“Those assets are only temporarily being held by Xixi… and Grandpa Qin has agreed.”
"I can return the money to them when I get back..."
Before Wu Zhao could explain, mocking laughter rang out behind them.
Ye Linyan changed into a cool floral shirt and shorts and walked over.
Even the most flamboyant clothes don't look tacky on him.
"Kids these days really love to have wild imaginations."
As he spoke, he casually handed a cool popsicle to Wu Zhao.
Holding the icy-cold ice cream, Wu Zhao pouted.
"Why are you back so soon?"
Wu Zhao thought this guy wouldn't come today.
Ye Linyan shrugged.
"Zhaozhao, you're really kicking me when I've served my purpose! I went all the way to the desert to pick you up and even brought you some snacks."
"Sigh, can't you feel a little more affection when you look at my face?"
Pointing to his own face, Ye Linyan also started to let loose a bit.
Wu Zhao frowned.
Why does Ye Linyan always bring up his face, which is exactly the same as Jun Wu's?
"What are you trying to say in riddles?" Wu Zhao rolled his eyes.
"You, what do you mean?"
He Su did not understand what Ye Linyan was saying.
"Well, I mean you guys are too naive."
"Do you really think this money is so easy to get and so easy to give away? Besides... Qin Song has devoted himself to the Qin family, so he must hope that someone can inherit the Qin family business."
Thinking of the Qin family gave Ye Linyan a real headache.
"The Qin family is in the catering business, and your parents are also prominent figures in Xuancheng. But ever since your parents died unexpectedly and you were sent abroad by Qin Song... the reputation of your family's restaurant has plummeted."
"That's your parents' hard work. Do you... want to watch their life's work be smeared and destroyed like this?"
He Xi bit her lip, and He Su beside her also fell silent.
She had already learned from Grandpa Qin why she got lost, and she also knew that the Qin family had been looking for her for many years.
The Qin couple have been doing charity work in order to accumulate blessings for their lost child.
The two-person restaurant chain is also very popular because it provides free food to the elderly living alone and people in distress.
If her actions cause my parents' good reputation to be ruined, "I will have a good talk with Grandpa Qin when I get back."
After He Xi figured it out, her delicate face became much more determined.
Having received so much information in one night, He Su and his sister lost all interest in attending the bonfire party.
After the two left, Wu Zhao threw the empty ice cream wrapper into the trash can.
"Ye Linyan, if the Ye family goes bankrupt in the future... becoming a salesperson would be quite suitable for you."
"You can talk a dead person back to life."
Ye Linyan: ...
He chuckled.
"Zhaozhao, I'll take that as a compliment."
