13 Xin Yue is trampled on!

Mu Haoran was very angered by his aunt's words. He thus crawled angrily towards his aunt to confront her and to defend Xin Yue, "She is my sister."

Chen Rui said viciously, "Your sister? How did she become your sister? Who knows if she was born in a drain or in any questionable place? Otherwise, why would anyone throw her in a garbage bin?" Chen Rui then pushed Mu Haoran to the ground.

Seeing her little brother pushed to the ground, Xin Yue rushed forward furiously. She held Chen Rui's throat angrily, "How dare you push my brother!" 

Xin Yue's eyes were red with anger. She could tolerate her aunt humiliating her, however laying hands on Mu Haoran was out of question. 

But as soon as she held Chen Rui's throat, Xin Yue's hair was pulled from behind. A policewoman jerked her head fiercely and pushed Xin Yue onto the ground. She then put her feet on Xin Yue's chest and pressed her boot on it.

"You want to run away from this house? And you want to take this little imp too? But where will you run off to?" The policewoman, He Yan applied pressure on Xin Yue's chest, "You should be thankful to Madam Chen that she has given you a place to live. If she throws you out of the house today, you will be sold off in just two days. Do you understand?"

Mu Haoran was held by his collar by Chen Rui. The little guy struggled to be released to save his sister in any way he could. But he did not have the strength to fight Chen Rui. Thus, he had to see his sister trampled on by He Yan.

Chen Rui said, "Officer He, I know that this Xin Yue is a bitch. But my brother had adopted her. Now that he is no longer here, he has left his son and this bitch to me. How can I throw her out? I just want you to warn her. If she wants to live in this house, she should obey everything I say."

He Yan immediately warned Xin Yue, "Listen to what Madam Chen is saying. She has such a big heart that she still doesn't want to throw you out of her house. I am warning you, if you dare to disobey or bother Madam Chen, I will arrest you in such a case that you won't be able to show your face in the society. Do you understand?"

"Ahh!" Xin Yue's scream echoed in the house.

He Yan had kicked Xin Yue before she walked towards Chen Rui. Chen Rui released Mu Haoran and handed over some cash to He Yan. She also thanked He Yan for helping her. He Yan smiled and said that as long as she got the money, she would help Chen Rui discipline Xin Yue.

Meanwhile, Mu Haoran limped towards Xin Yue, "Sister, sister!" He called out between his sobs.

When he reached his sister, he helped her sit up and said, "Sister, you…you should leave from here. Don't worry about me. Just leave this house, please!"

Mu Haoran's little voice was choked as he pleaded his sister. He could not bear to see his sister suffering because of him. If she did not leave the house, his aunt would not let his sister live peacefully.

However, Xin Yue's willpower was not that weak. She caressed Mu Haoran's face, "Haoran, I will go. I will definitely go. However, when I leave, I will also bring you with me."

She then pulled the little boy in her arms as the two siblings embraced each other. A determination shone in Xin Yue's eyes as she hugged her little brother tightly.

…

Lei mansion.

In the spacious, well-equipped kitchen of the mansion, the air was filled with the aromatic dance of Chinese spices and the sizzle of ingredients meeting a hot wok. The three young masters of the Lei family, clad in crisp aprons, were engrossed in a culinary adventure.

The Lei family was one of the rare families who stayed together in a single mansion. Although all of them stayed under one roof, they had their own privacy. Grandma Lei was the one who had bound the family together and others also respected her wishes. Because of this, the three brothers had grown up together and were very close to each other. 

Amidst the laughter and friendly banter, Lei Junshan skillfully chopped vibrant vegetables, his movements precise and efficient. Lei Junmo, with a mischievous glint in his eyes, expertly stirred a bubbling pot of savory broth, infusing it with rich flavors. Meanwhile, Lei Juncheng, armed with a spatula, confidently flipped ingredients in a sizzling wok, creating a symphony of enticing scents.

As they were cooking happily, Yi Chunhua entered the kitchen. She called out to her son, "Junshan, you are still cooking here? You should immediately go to the airport. Your to-be-better half has landed on capital city's airport. She has returned from overseas."

"Mom, I am going to meet her in the morning," Lei Junshan replied to his mother with the same cold face.

A wide smile graced Yi Chunhua's face, "Good, good, very good. You must be going on a date with her then? Where are you taking her? It better be a romantic place."

Lei Junshan glared at her mother. He did not like anyone teasing him. Yi Chunhua's questions stopped when she received a glare from her son. She sighed at her son's cold demeanor before she left the kitchen.
