After hanging up, the taxi turned around and headed towards the outskirts of S City.

Thirty minutes later, Ye Yan arrived at an abandoned factory. It was a low and decadent house, and the cement road was full of holes. It was in a state of decay and decay.

The road was filled with a pungent smell. Ye Yan Xi covered her nose as she walked towards the factory.

In the shadows of the factory, it was dark, almost dark, and the sound of walking echoed clearly in the empty room.

"Ming Hao, where are you?"

After she shouted, there was a rustling sound from the corner. Ye Yanxi subconsciously walked towards the direction of the sound.

The low factory was in tatters. The moonlight shone through the broken glass window. Under the moonlight, Ye Yanxi could see a blurry shadow under the window. It seemed that someone was sitting there.

A youth stood up from the ground and said with a smile, "I knew you wouldn't ignore me."

Ye Yan Xi's adoptive parents didn't have children for many years after their marriage, so they went to the orphanage to bring her home. At that time, Ye Yan Xi was only 5 years old.

But once she arrived at the Ye Family, her foster mother became pregnant. The next year, she gave birth to a pair of dragons and phoenixes. They were Ye Yanxi's little brother, Ye Minghao, and her younger sister, Ye Weiqi.

The 16 year old Ye Minghao was already much taller than Ye Yan.

"Hurry up and go home. It's so late and you're still running around everywhere. Mom and Dad are worried." Looking at her brother, who was half a head taller than her, Ye Yan Xi subconsciously took a step back.

The bright moonlight shone down on Ye Yanxi's body. She seemed to be covered in a light veil, graceful and elegant, as if she were a fairy from the Moon Palace.

Ye Minghao smiled as he walked over, "Yan Xi, as long as you're worried about me!"

"Shameless!" Ye Yanxi frowned, clenched her fists and made a gesture as if she wanted to beat him up, "I'm your sister, from now on you're not allowed to call me by my name!"

"Chu Beize and He Man are engaged and married at the end of the month!"

"I know, I don't need your reminder." At the mention of Chu Beize, Ye Yanxi was inexplicably angry. She then turned around and left, "Since you're fine, then hurry up and go back, I'm leaving!"

"Who said I'm fine?" Ye Ming Hao's body tilted and heavily fell to the ground.

Ye Yan Xi's footsteps paused. She carefully looked at Ye Ming Hao a few times and found that there was some blood on his face.

"What's going on? You fought with someone again? "

"Didn't you leave me alone?" Seeing Ye Yanxi stop, Ye Minghao smiled like a cunning fox.

Ye Yan Xi was too lazy to continue talking to him, she walked over and pulled him up, "I'll take you to the hospital first!"

After supporting him for a few steps, Ye Minghao screamed out in pain, groaning and groaning.

Ye Yan Xi was speechless. She could only gently support him, allowing half of his body to lean on her shoulder. "Are you feeling better?"

"Mm …" That's better. "

Along the way to the hospital, the doctor pointed at the film and said that he had broken two ribs. The condition was very serious and he needed to be hospitalized.

Ye Yan Xi first called her adoptive parents, told them to come to the hospital, and then immediately went to check in.

Ye Yan Xi brought her adoptive parents into Ye Ming Hao's ward. She stood in the corridor outside the ward, and from time to time, she would hear the angry shouts of her adoptive father, Ye Junze, mixed with the squabbling of her adoptive mother, Lu Manwen.

The nurse who came to deliver the medicine stopped the two from quarreling, and hung a hanging bottle for Ye Minghao. As she left, she repeatedly instructed the ward to be quiet, so as to not disturb the patient's rest.

As Ye Junze walked out of the ward, he saw Ye Yan Xi standing in the hallway.

"Dad." Ye Yanxi smiled and said.

Ye Junze looked at Ye Yan lovingly and said, "Xiaoxi, you should move back. It's not safe for a girl to live alone outside."

Ye Yan Xi hadn't even opened her mouth when she heard a cold snort coming from the ward.

When she was adopted back home, Lu Manwen had been very good to her. However, ever since she had her own child, her attitude towards Ye Yan Xi had changed drastically.

Knowing that she had become a burden, Ye Yan always rented a house near the school, using her busy studies as an excuse.

At this moment, when Ye Junze mentioned living at home, he only smiled faintly. "Dad, there's a lot of lessons in school. I still need to take the French test so it would be more convenient outside …"

Lu Manwen heard it and mockingly said, "Adopting a cat or dog is not as good as feeding them to others. They would even wag their tails when they see you."

"Don't go too far in front of the children!" Ye Junze suddenly became angry after hearing her words.

"Since they're all here, I'll say it clearly today." Hearing that, Lu Manwen walked out of the ward and looked at Ye Yanxi with contempt, "The company hasn't been doing well recently, and we've spent all our money on it. You will have to settle your school fees in the future! "

"How much can the tuition fee be, you …" Ye Junze's face turned ashen.

Lu Manwen did not even look at him, "Chu Beize is engaged to someone else, and she is an outsider now. Why do we have to pay money to keep her? "You've always been so protective of her, I suspect that she might be a bastard that you've been born into!"

"You …" Ye Junze was infuriated. He raised his hand and almost slapped Lumen in the face.

"For an outsider, you still want to hit me?!" When Lumen saw this, her face contorted in anger. She pointed her finger at Ye Junze's nose with a gem ring on her finger. "As long as I'm alive, you can forget about giving her another cent."

Ye Junze was shaking with anger. Fortunately, Ye Yanxi had grabbed his arm and didn't let him be impulsive.

Lu Manwen cursed as she returned to the ward. Ye Junze's face was pale. She looked at Ye Yan Xi with a bit of guilt in his eyes, "Xiao Xi, you can't blame your father for being useless, right?"

"Dad, it's all my fault, don't blame yourself, I've always been the one causing trouble for you." Ye Yanxi smiled and softly comforted Ye Junze, "I'll find a part-time job outside and work in a company as a translator, able to support myself. As for tuition fees, I can find a home tutor during the weekend, don't worry."

As Ye Yanxi said this, Ye Junze felt that he owed her even more.

"Xiao Xi, you have been very sensible since you were young. You must remember, the Ye family will always be your home. If you have any difficulties, you must inform dad in time."

"Got it, thank you Dad."

After leaving the hospital, Ye Yanxi returned to her rented room, kicked off her shoes, and tiredly laid down on the sofa.

It was already getting late. She wanted to check the time and realized that she didn't bring her phone back.

She couldn't remember where she had put it. She searched through all the drawers, but she didn't find anything.

Only then did Ye Yan Xi panic. She went out to borrow a phone from a neighbor and dialed her number. Luckily, her phone wasn't turned off.

When the call connected, a deep male voice came from the other end, "Hello …"
