Whatâs the situation?
âSure.â
Li Shengxiao, seeing the earnest attention in the eyes of the young woman before him, only full of curiosity without any other impurity, continued, âThe Zhong Family is a generalâs family, with his grandfather currently being one of the five great generals, holding high authority. The Zhong Family has produced many high-ranking individuals. Zhong Yuye is the only grandson of the Zhong Familyâs direct line, but he has a rebellious nature and was uncontrollable since childhood. At the age of 16, he was sent abroad to study, and it was only later that I discovered he had gone off to play music.â
âThe old master of the Zhong Family had great expectations for him, and his foray into the entertainment industry greatly angered the older generation of the Zhong Family. They secretly alerted the companies he worked with, and his company, for the sake of their future, sidelined him both openly and covertly.â
Of course, Zhong Yuye himself wasnât someone who would let his family shape him as they pleased. Hinted at by the company executives, he understood why he was suddenly blacklisted. Not long after, he publicly announced his retirement.
Amid the regrets of his fans, he didnât yield to his familyâs wishes to return to the Zhong Family and follow the path they wanted for him. He continued to drift about outside, and I heard heâs recently become fascinated with racing.
He hadnât expected Rong Yan to become involved with Zhong Yuye because of a single song, and judging by Zhong Yuyeâs subsequent behaviors, it seemed he was especially different towards her.
This difference was like a thorn in his heart.
If it werenât for the fact that Zhong Yuyeâs background was too complicated, and the man himself appeared to be not as simple as he seemed, he would have long taken action to make this invisible love rival disappear from his little womanâs world!
âEh⦠Zhong Yuyeâs grandfather is one of the five great generals?â Rong Yan couldnât connect that delicate and handsome man with such a status.
She blinked, suddenly looking toward the distinguished man lying in the hospital bed, âWhat about you?â
The two of them being acquainted since childhood meant their families were equally matched.
In other words, this manâs background was even deeper than she had imagined!
Regarding himself, Li Shengxiao said indifferently, âMy maternal grandfather is also one of them.â
Rong Yan had considered this possibility, but hearing him admit it still made her involuntarily gasp. She finally understood why Zhong Yuye had suddenly said those words to her earlier.
If Li Shengxiao came from such a background, then what about herâ¦
As if seeing through her thoughts, the handsome man reached out his hand and grasped hers, frowning, âYanyan, donât worry about what youâre thinking. My mother really likes you and approves of you, having long accepted you. As for the Lin Familyâ¦â
His brows furrowed deeply, he said coldly, âYou donât need to care about them. They mean nothing to me but blood relations, just a title.â
Just blood relations, just a title.
Rong Yan didnât know why, but she suddenly thought of her own relations with the Rong Family.
It seemed the same for her, whether it was Rong Nanfeng, Jiang Meiqi, Old Madame Jiang⦠For her, these people also appeared to be nothing more than blood relations, just a title.
She didnât know why, but she felt an inexplicable ache for this man who seemed invincible. So much so that she didnât want to know what had happened for him to say that his maternal grandfather was only a matter of blood relation to him. She changed the subject, âBy the way, Li Shengxiao, do you want some grapes? Iâll go wash some for you.â
