When Yan Guanzhao was twenty, a paternity test report turned his life upside down.
He wasn't a member of the Yan family. He had been switched at birth.
Although his adoptive parents said they would still treat him as their child, Yan Guanzhao knew that something had changed.
So he quickly packed his things, moved out, and returned everything they had given him over the years.
He moved from a luxury apartment in the city center to an old residential complex, started working to support himself, and began living a life he had never imagined before.
The sudden burden of making ends meet left him with no time to grieve.
But when he came home from work one day, he was surprised to find his former older brother waiting at the door.
The Yan family's eldest son, Yan Guannan.
The light in the stairwell was broken, but the moonlight was enough to reveal his expensive suit, completely out of place amid the shabby surroundings.
Yan Guanzhao couldn't make out his face. All he could see was the cigarette between his fingers, half-smoked and glowing faintly.
Yan Guanzhao instinctively wanted to call him Brother, but quickly remembered that he no longer had the right.
So he pointedly left out the form of address and only asked, "What are you doing here?"
As soon as he spoke, the man stubbed out his cigarette and turned to look at him. His voice gave nothing away, and he asked as casually as he always had, "What, you don't even want your brother anymore?"
My next novel is Humiliation. If you're interested, please add it to your favorites~
Back in school, the person Li Chenfeng hated most was Zhou Shiqing. It wasn't because Zhou had ever wronged him. It was just that he was far too dazzling: handsome, good at school, rich, and on top of that, unbearably nice, as if he never got angry, always smiling.
He was like a cloud in the sky, making Li Chenfeng, his deskmate, look like mud on the ground.
So Li Chenfeng's greatest wish in life was to study hard and surpass him one day.
But before he could make that wish come true, Zhou Shiqing went abroad.
The next time Li Chenfeng heard about him, Zhou's family had gone bankrupt, his parents had died, and he was deep in debt.
Li Chenfeng had never imagined that one day he would see Zhou working as a server in a bar.
He stayed by the customers' sides, smiling until his face hurt to convince them to buy another bottle of liquor.
Li Chenfeng should have been happy to see him reduced to this state. Yet when a customer tried to force him to drink, Li Chenfeng couldn't stop himself from getting up, splashing the liquor in the man's face, and dragging Zhou outside.
"Are you that desperate for money?" Li Chenfeng angrily asked as he pulled him into a nearby alley.
But Zhou Shiqing turned away with a completely unfamiliar look. "I don't know you."
"Hah." Li Chenfeng was practically laughing with anger at his pathetic acting.
The hatred in his heart broke loose, swelling beyond his control.
"What does it matter if you know me or not?" Li Chenfeng tried to smile nonchalantly. "If you're short on money, I'll keep you."
"But don't think that means I like you," he added at once.
"I just want to humiliate you."
Theme: Never give up on yourself.
I must be worried to death during this period. My younger brother disappeared for three years, and then he had a heart problem to take care of. I originally planned to propose, but when I came home, I found that the sky had collapsed. I couldn't find him for three years, and I felt that I was going to have a serious psychological impact. I can't think of what would have happened if I found that my younger brother was trying to get along with someone else and was ready to move on, leaving me alone in the past 🥺
Such a short and painful chapter. . .
It's so sweet. I hope the young couple won't go through too many hardships ❤️
