"So, are you saying Xiao Wu was kidnapped by her mother? And her grandmother rescued her afterward?" Bi Xia stared blankly at Qin Zhan, who walked out of the kitchen. "Why? That was Xiao Wu’s mother."

"Strictly speaking, not her biological mother."

Qin Zhan set down the plate, picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks, and brought it to Bi Xia’s mouth. Seeing Bi Xia staring at him with wide eyes and furrowed brows, but still habitually opened her mouth to catch the meat, he chuckled softly, tapped Bi Xia’s forehead with his fingertip, and continued, "The current Madam Chu is Xiao Wu’s biological mother’s sister. However, this sister should be considered an adopted daughter of Xiao Wu’s mother’s family, without a blood relationship." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"So, the rough story is that the sister got rid of the older sister to advance herself, then discarded the child who posed a threat to her. However, this child was later found by her adoptive mother, who is also the child’s biological grandmother, and raised nearby."

"Later, the child acknowledged her roots, and this sister pretended to be a good person on the surface but schemed against the child in secret. All this until the child grew up and was taken to the Feng Family. And this old lady from the Feng Family is a friend of the child’s grandmother?"

Qin Zhan: ...

Listening to Bi Xia rapidly recount everything he hadn’t finished saying, Qin Zhan patted Bi Xia’s little head. "I think even without your companies, you could be considered a genius."

"Oh?" Bi Xia looked up, curiously asking, "Why do you say that? Is it because I’m inherently divine?"

Divine? What word is that...?

With a light laugh, Qin Zhan paused and said, "You could totally write novels, and I’ll promote you. I guarantee you’d quickly become popular."

Bi Xia: ...

With a cold snort and a raised eyebrow, Bi Xia teased, "So, Brother Zhan plans to use unwritten rules on me, huh. Tsk, too bad, I’ve never succumbed to beauty."

"Is that so?" A deep voice suddenly whispered in her ear, the warm breath wrapping around her eardrum. She turned sideways to meet a pair of phoenix eyes filled with faint amusement and a hint of mischief. Those eyes were like deep, bottomless pools, the sword-like brows slightly raised, and beneath exquisitely sculpted features, the thin lips curved in a captivating arc.

Opening her mouth, Bi Xia blinked, taking a deep breath. "Let me tell you, Qin Zhan, I, Bi Xia, am not one to indulge in beauty, but..."

Suddenly, she lunged at Qin Zhan, wrapping her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck. Her eyes, bright and profound, "I only indulge in Fourth Brother’s beauty. You’re just... too unfair! So, I reluctantly allow you to use those unwritten rules."

Their lips met in a brief kiss, leaving them both feeling warmth, as they exchanged glances. After a moment, they both laughed softly.

Qin Zhan continued to hold Bi Xia, turning to place her on a chair. "Actually, the story is indeed as complex as you think, but the latter part isn’t as complicated."

"After Xiao Wu returned to the Chu Family, she was already a bit older, so that woman could no longer harm her. But she frequently used Xiao Wu’s mother to provoke her. Originally, Xiao Wu’s mental state wasn’t good due to the kidnapping, so she was easily agitated each time."

"And that eldest brother..." Qin Zhan chuckled, "was like us, destined to meet."

"Hmm? What do you mean?" Bi Xia asked curiously.

"Eat your food," Qin Zhan pinched Bi Xia’s cheek. "Hurry and eat, or it’ll get cold. If you want to hear it, I’ll tell you some other time."

Seeing Bi Xia nod while replying to something on her phone, Qin Zhan casually remarked, "Why are you suddenly curious about Xiao Wu’s situation? I don’t know all the details either; she knows better herself."

"Nothing much," Bi Xia put down the phone, speaking lightly, "I just think... bad people like Xiao Wu’s mother’s sister really deserve to die. So, if Wu made an appearance, it’s not because of the eldest brother, but because of... Madam Chu."

"Hmm?"

"I just feel like there’s someone else I want to protect."

"Is it Xiao Wu?"

"No, it’s Wu."

Facing Qin Zhan’s gaze, Bi Xia smiled slightly, picked up a piece of meat, and placed it in her mouth, savoring it with half-closed eyes.
