Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Meanwhile, a servant of the Xiao family home came to report, “Young Master, Miss An will be arriving soon.”

The man who sat on the sofa heard this and casually waved his hand.

The servant could not figure out what the young master was implying. He had only just returned home, after all. So she cautiously said, “All right, call me if you need anything.”

After the servant left, Xiao Chen leaned back on the sofa and looked at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling. The dazzling light of the chandelier reflected in the man’s eyes, making them sparkle like the stars.

A few minutes later, the sound of footsteps could be heard. An Xue wore a bright yellow tight-fitting dress as she walked in with a frown.

An Dong had previously invited Xiao Chen to a family dinner without telling An Xue. That was the first time An Xue had met Xiao Chen.

Although Mo Yu was the only person An Xue has ever loved, she couldn’t help but think that Xiao Chen was just as handsome as Mo Yu. Xiao Chen stood out from the crowd. It was probably because he had lived abroad previously. Xiao Chen was both memorable and charming.

If An Xue weren’t already in love with Mo Yu, she would have been delighted to marry Xiao Chen. But An Xue had already become obsessed with Mo Yu, and her only goal in life was to marry Mo Yu. Nonetheless, An Xue felt that no matter how charming Xiao Chen was, he could never compare to Mo Yu.

So naturally, the family dinner was somewhat awkward and unpleasant. An Xue ignored An Dong’s hints and ate her food in silence, completely ignoring Xiao Chen as well.

Such a passive-aggressive attitude made An Dong burst into a fit rage. He repeatedly apologized to Xiao Chen, “I’m terribly sorry for An Xue’s terrible behavior.”

Xiao Chen’s expression was dull, making him appear more ruthless and unsympathetic compared to others. His lips curled into a faint smile, yet his demeanor was cold and distant.

“It’s all right. We’re just not familiar with each other. After all, this is the first time we’re meeting.”

“Yes, yes. I’ll make sure that my daughter joins us for dinner more often. You should take An Xue out more often as well. Whenever you’re free, that is. You two might have a lot to talk about,” An Dong said as he laughed.

Xiao Chen pursed his thin lips and remained silent.

A few days later, An Xue went over to the Xiao family home to look for Xiao Chen even though she didn’t care for him. However, Xiao Chen knew that it was not because he had charmed her.

Xiao Chen was aware of An Xue’s circumstances with the Mo family. He heard about Fang Liu’s rumors, and he knew that An Xue had gotten involved in this matter.

After the incident, Mo Yu had begun to resent An Xue. He even announced that he would terminate all business relations concerning the An family.

Mo Yu did not hesitate to cut his losses because the An family had greatly offended him and his wife.

Nonetheless, An Dong’s eagerness to marry his daughter off to the Xiao family became more apparent. An Dong planned to use Xiao Chen as a weapon to punish the Mo family and vent his frustrations toward them.

But An Dong was not testing Xiao Chen’s capabilities. He had already planned to marry his daughter off to the Xiao family. But if Xiao Chen were to disappoint him, then An Dong would be dissatisfied.

However, Xiao Chen had expected this. He had also anticipated facing many trials and tribulations when he returned home from abroad.

Xiao Chen’s father, Xiao Xian, was a playboy in his earlier years. He was merciless and spread his seeds everywhere. His first wife bore three children. One of them was a boy, and the other two were girls. They were his legitimate children. No one knew how many illegitimate children he had abandoned, but Xiao Chen was the only one he cared for.

Xiao Xian would simply bribe his other illegitimate children with millions of yuan because none of them could compare to Xiao Chen. Xiao Xian not only gave Xiao Chen his care and support, but he also put Xiao Chen in charge of the Xiao family’s business relations.

Xiao Chen still remembers his mother’s dream of becoming a movie star. But his mother was dense and foolish. After being tricked by Xiao Xian, she still hoped to become an official member of the Xiao family. She searched high and low for Xiao Xian when Xiao Chen was just a few years old.

Nonetheless, this had unexpectedly made Xiao Xian and his wife wary.

Xiao Xian’s wife was cruel and would not tolerate other women who tried to take her place in the Xiao family. She hired a human trafficker to sell Xiao Chen’s biological mother to a prostitution syndicate, causing Xiao Chen to live with a group of prostitutes in the process.

Xiao Chen was raised in a terrible environment, causing him to learn how to read people’s expressions.
