Nightfall quietly arrived. The dark red luster on the horizon slowly faded away as time passed.

Everyone at the table was waiting for Chu Feng's arrival.

After a while, Chu Feng's tall and straight figure slowly appeared from the grayness of the night.

Chu Xiaotian, who was at the table, had a smile on his face as if a gentle breeze had blown by. He happily introduced another calm old man to introduce Chu Feng who was striding towards him with his head held high.

Everyone's gazes followed Chu Tianxiao's words and landed on Chu Feng. However, no one noticed that there was another handsome person following behind Chu Feng.

Only when Chu Feng entered the room and pulled a chair for the girl to sit on did everyone notice the girl's existence.

The girl had a very ordinary appearance. She was the kind that would only appear in big groups on the streets.

At first, no one noticed the girl, they all thought she was one of the Chu Clan's young master's lackeys.

But now that she saw that the young master of the Chu family had personally pulled up the chair for her, she couldn't help but ask in her heart with some surprise, who was this girl!

How could she ask the young master of the Chu Clan to serve her?

The people at the table looked at Chu Xiaotian in confusion, hoping that he would tell them something.

However, at this moment, Chu Xiaotian's face was red with embarrassment.

Right now, he didn't know how to explain the girl's existence. He couldn't say himself: I don't know him. My grandson picked him up on the street.

From the time Chu Feng brought her here to eat, Chu Xiaotian could tell that the girl was not ordinary to Chu Feng. If he said something that displeased Chu Feng, the tigress would not show mercy.

Thus, Chu Xiaotian could only laugh as he replied to everyone's puzzled expressions.

At that time, Chu Feng saw his grandfather's awkwardness and went up to help him, "This is my sister, Chu Ruoyan."

After hearing Zi Feng's words, everyone withdrew their puzzled gazes.

However, he couldn't understand why Old Man Chu didn't mention that he had a granddaughter just now. He didn't seem to understand, but he didn't pursue the matter.

After all, this was someone else's family matter.

When the Chu family head next to the Chu family's old patriarch heard Chu Feng say that the girl was his sister, she asked with doubt in her heart, "Does his son still have a daughter?" However, in the blink of an eye, he had rejected that foolish idea. This was because his son would not look for other women, otherwise why would his son Chu Mingfan continue to wander around, searching for his long-lost wife, Bing Xinshui.

Thinking to that point, the old lady couldn't help confirming that there was a story between Chu Feng and the girl.

He couldn't help but think about when it had happened.

Ever since Chu Feng returned home, he had never left the residence. He must have known her when he was wandering, but from the look in the girl's eyes, it was obvious that she didn't recognize her grandson.

This confused the madame.

Tonight's banquet was held for Chu Xiaotian by some of the higher officials in the capital. Everyone was enjoying their meal.

Only the girl, Chu Ruyan, was a little afraid of people. This was because she had never experienced such a high-class banquet before.

After the meal, the mansion's master arranged a place for Chu Xiaotian to stay.

The old mistress brought Chu Feng and the girl back, leaving Chu Xiaotian alone in the hall to reminisce with his old friends.

After Chu Feng sent the girl into her own room, just as he returned to his own room, his grandmother, Wen Bixia, knocked on the door and walked in.

The madame gazed at Chu Feng for a while before asking amiably, "Who is that girl?"

The old mistress looked to Chu Feng with hope.

Hearing his grandmother's words, Chu Feng's expression turned a bit dejected.

After a moment of absent-mindedness, Grandma Wen Bixia clearly saw Chu Feng's painful expression. She hurriedly said, "Granny doesn't ask, don't ask."

Hearing what his grandmother said, Chu Feng felt warmth in his heart.

His grandmother had given him too much love.

Chu Feng took in a deep breath and said, "That winter, I was five years old. It was snowing heavily, and my father took me to wander the streets. When night fell, my father and I squatted down in a corner where no one was. "

After pausing for a moment, Chu Feng continued, "At that time, father went out to look for food, leaving me by myself." Advertisement At that time, I was very cold, wearing only a thin dress, not even a jacket. I was shivering in the corner.

A few children, who were playing on the road, saw me squatting in a corner. They grabbed the snow from the ground and threw it at me, laughing as they did so: "Motherless child, just wait for me to freeze to death!"

Continuing on, Chu Feng's emotions were a bit stirred up and the corners of his eyes couldn't help getting moist.

Even now, Chu Feng could still clearly remember the faces of those children. They were so high and mighty.

Chu Feng, who had stopped for a moment, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. He raised his head and stubbornly looked at his grandmother.

At this moment, her grandma's eyes were filled with tears. She once thought about how pitiful her grandson used to be.

But now that she heard it from her own mouth, how could she not feel heartache? She didn't dare to imagine what it must have been like for the father and son from seven years ago.

The cold wind that winter was bone-piercing, and the sky was freezing cold. During that winter, the kittens that she had kept for so many years were unable to survive.

She could not imagine how her own son and grandson could survive such a cold day. Her son was better, because she knew that her son had different abilities, but her grandson's small body was still able to endure the cold winter.

As he thought about it, tears welled up in the old man's eyes. In the end, they flowed down the wrinkles on his face.

After sobbing for a while, Chu Feng smiled and continued speaking. At that time, as he was enduring the insults and ridicule from the group of children, a girl walked out and said to the group of boys, "How can you do that?" He's already very pitiful. How can you all bully her like this?

As she said this, the girl was already sobbing.

The boys saw that the girl was on the verge of tears, and they all hugged her because she had a great father.

When the girl saw that the group of people had dispersed, she wiped her eyes and smiled, "I didn't expect them to be so cowardly. A few tears were enough to scare them away."

The girl's sweet voice made Chu Feng, who was curled up in a corner, raise his head and take a look.

The girl smiled at him and said, "Wait a moment, I'll go back and get some bread."

After a while, the girl brought a hot biscuit. Chu Feng held it in his hand, smelled it, and looked at the girl with gratitude.

The girl also looked at Chu Feng while smiling. After a while, the girl puzzledly looked at Chu Feng and said, "Why aren't you eating? It will become cold in a while."

Chu Feng said, "After my father returns, we'll eat together. He hasn't eaten for a day, so he's definitely hungry as well."

After the girl heard Chu Feng's words, she turned around and ran away. Chu Feng stood up, looked at the girl's departing figure, and muttered, "What's your name?"

However, the girl had already gone far away and did not hear Chu Feng's words.

As he watched the girl's figure disappear into the night, Chu Feng continued returning to his corner, awaiting his father's return.

After a while, the girl ran over while gasping for breath. She held a small bag in her hand and there were several hot sesame seed cakes inside. The girl sweetly handed the bag to Chu Feng, then turned around and wanted to leave.

Chu Feng hurriedly shouted, "Wait."

The girl looked at the beggar boy in confusion.

Chu Feng put the bag of sesame seed cakes onto the ground. With both hands, he took out a coral pagoda pendant from his neck and handed it to the girl. He said, "Thank you, here's your cake."

The girl took the pendant and skipped away like a fairy.

As he spoke, that fairy-like figure flashed in Chu Feng's mind, and the corners of Chu Feng's mouth widened into a smile.

After pausing for a while, Chu Feng continued saying, "Today, the carriage suddenly stopped. I stuck my head out and saw a coral tower pendant on the chest of a running girl.

At that time, with a single glance, I recognized that girl as the little girl from back then. "

Hearing his grandson's words, Wen Bixia took a deep breath. She never would have thought that the girl, her grandson, would have such a story.

Moments later, after adjusting her mood, Wen Bixia said, "It's fine, from now on that girl is my granddaughter. Our Chu Family's young miss will never suffer again. "

Hearing his grandmother's words, Chu Feng firmly nodded and muttered, "That's right, I will not let her suffer anymore."

At that time, Chu Xiaotian who was chatting in the living room returned. He went straight to Chu Feng's room because he also wanted to ask about the girl.

The moment he opened the door, Chu Xiaotian saw the two of them hugging each other, with traces of tears still flowing down his face.

Seeing this, Chu Xiaotian looked at the two of them in confusion.

After a moment, he asked, "Chu Feng, who is that girl today?"

Upon hearing these words, the madame immediately became angry like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and looked unkindly at Old Man Chu.

Seeing his mistress in such a state, Chu Xiaotian was baffled. Looking at her fierce expression, she didn't understand, but just as she wanted to continue asking, she heard the lady say amiably, "Feng'er, go to bed early, so grandma won't disturb you."

After speaking, he turned his head to Chu Xiao as he spoke, "Let's go, let's hurry up and leave. Don't disturb my rest. I've already rushed for an entire day, he must be tired."

Hearing this, Chu Xiaotian wanted to say something, but seeing that his mistress' expression was growing darker, he could only walk out of the room with his head lowered.

Seeing that her husband had left, the old lady also walked out. She did not want Chu Feng to continue narrating those unbearable memories. Just now, she touched a little and it made Chu Feng's heart hurt.

So she shooed away her curious husband.

It was because she did not want Chu Feng to experience the pain of his memories again.

"Old man, from today on, that girl is our Chu family's young miss. She is no longer someone who anyone can scold."

On the way back to her room, the madame Wen Bi Xia told Chu Xiaotian. Her tone did not allow him to refute her words.

Chu Xiaotian looked at his wife in confusion.

At this moment, the Countess spoke gently, "Old man, let's not ask about Feng Er's past anymore. It will make him uncomfortable."

"Oh." Chu Xiaotian replied in agreement, but he didn't understand his wife's meaning. While Chu Xiaotian was still confused, the old lady continued, "Today, that girl has helped my Feng'er. We have to take good care of her."

"Gratitude?" Chu Xiaotian exclaimed.

The old lady spoke of Chu Feng's tragic past with a choked voice.

When Old Man Chu heard his wife's words, his voice began to tremble as he muttered, "Everything is over, everything is fine now ?"

The next day, Old Man Chu gathered his followers and sternly announced to them: "From today onwards, that girl is your young miss. She is no longer a little girl wandering the streets. You are not allowed to talk about the matters of the past. If someone accidentally says something, don't blame me for it. "

The originally amiable old man exuded a majestic aura at this moment, causing the servants who were used to being amiable to feel their hearts tremble.

They knew that the old master was the mighty general who had reigned over the battlefield for many years. At this moment, they did not dare to challenge the dignity of the general.

Everything was going on in a regular pattern.

When the girl woke up, she found that there was already a little girl who had come over to help her change clothes.

This made her uncomfortable. She was just a pitiful homeless person, yet how did she enjoy this kind of treatment? She asked the servant girl in confusion, "What happened?"

She still clearly remembered that when she was brought back by her young master yesterday, those girls all cast contemptuous and disgusted looks at her.

But at this moment, one could clearly see the reverence in their eyes.

This confused the girl.

The maidservant saw the doubt in the girl's heart and said, "Young miss, after this morning's announcement, you will be the eldest young miss of the Chu Clan. Your status is now respected."

When he said that last sentence, his tone was somewhat sarcastic. This was truly a wild chicken turning into a phoenix.

When the girl heard this, she became even more puzzled.

Last night, the boy had said that he was his sister. She had seen that the boy was only trying to solve the old man's predicament.

The girl could not accept this fact and could not help but look out the window. She still clearly remembered her father's loving voice shouting, "Fragrant, Fragrant."

But in the blink of an eye, she became the young miss of the Chu residence. This made it hard for her, who had always been at the bottom of the society, to accept.

The door opened and Chu Feng walked in. Seeing that the girl had finished dressing, he said to him, "Come, let's go eat together. Grandpa and Grandma are already waiting for us."

The girl dumbly accepted everything the boy had brought her, and followed the boy's footsteps as he walked out of the room.

Right now, she didn't dare to imagine what would happen in the future, because all of this was too sudden and too unexpected.

Surprisingly, it made her feel a little fake, a little like she was dreaming.

Chu Feng saw the girl's obviously uneasy gaze and he hiddenly said in his heart, "Yeah, I found a time to tell her the reason behind it. Otherwise, she wouldn't be living a peaceful life."

"The sun is shining and everything looks quite nice." Chu Feng muttered to himself.

The girl looked at the weird boy in confusion.
