Han Lu's heart was full of hope again.

Just like Xiao You, she rushed to the stairs and looked down from the second floor.

In the living room, Xiao Rong in clean clothes raised his hand and gestured to Han Lu, "Mom."

Han Lu could understand sign language.

So, at that moment, her desperation suddenly disappeared.

"Good boy..." Han Lu breathed a sigh of relief and changed into a proud look. She glanced at Xiao You smugly before she walked down the stairs to welcome Xiao Rong, "You're finally back, my boy! Let me see if you lose any weight!"

Xiao Rong accepted Han Lu's hug smilingly.

While he was hugging Han Lu, he looked up and smiled at Xiao You.

But the smile looked really distant.

His eyes no longer looked simple and timid.

Now his eyes were hard to see through as if they had been covered by clouds.

Xiao You was the one who could sense Xiao Rong's change the best.

She was the first one who realized the danger.

She clenched at the wooden rail and felt scared when Xiao Rong smiled at her.

She couldn't believe that he returned to Beicheng alive.

If he was back, where was the killer sent by Bi Hao?

Xiao You beat the rail violently and turned around to call Bi Hao.

Han Lu turned around to look up when she heard the noise.

Xiao You left in anger.

Thus, Han Lu felt much happier.

Xiao Rong's gesture showed his attitude to work with her.

After having gone through so much, he finally grew up.

Han Lu let go of him and looked up at her stepson who agreed to cooperate with her.

"I'm so happy you returned safely, Xiao Rong."

Xiao Rong nodded and thanked her in sign language.

Han Lu smiled gently and smartly, "You should know you'll face lots of difficulties after you come back this time."

Xiao Rong gestured, "Please help me."

"I will." That was what Han Lu was waiting for.

She could then ask something from him.

"But under one condition."

"What is it?"

Xiao Rong was willing to know.

Han Lu smiled and looked at the second floor sideways, although Xiao You had gone.

But Xiao Rong knew whom she was looking at.

So, he gestured, "Don't worry. If I become the master of the Xiao Family, I'll let anyone who threatens you disappear."

Han Lu nodded happily, "Good boy, you must be so tired due to the long travel. Take a hot bath and have a rest. You still need to face your father later on."

Han Lu was very practical.

Xiao Rong knew it, too.

Xiao Chengye didn't like him.

If he wanted to stay at this house, apart from Han Lu's help, he needed to try his best to get Xiao Chengye's approval.

But it was extremely challenging to get Xiao Chengye's approval.

He needed to take it seriously.

He needed strategies.

...

Xiao You called Bi Hao furiously.

"Are you dumb?"

Bi Hao was very confused, "Miss Xiao, what happened?"

"How dare you ask?" Xiao You squinted her eyes angrily. Whenever she thought about Xiao Rong's face, she wanted to rip it into pieces.

"What happened, Miss Xiao? I really don't get what you mean."

Xiao You squinted her eyes coldly and took a deep breath to calm her down before she spoke again, "Xiao Rong is still alive."

Hearing her words, Bi Hao was shocked and blurted out, "No way! The man I sent can't fail his mission!"

"Can't fail his mission?" Xiao You laughed, "Then who is standing in front of me? Xiao Rong's ghost?"

Bi Hao could hear Xiao You's anger.

He didn't dare to be so assertive again.

He had to hold back his shock and comforted Xiao You, "Miss Xiao, there must be some misunderstanding! Please give me some time to find it out!"

"You know what I want."

Xiao You's voice was cold as ice.

It made Bi Hao's heart froze.

He knew exactly what Xiao You wanted.

She wanted Xiao Rong dead.

As long as Xiao Rong was alive, she couldn't sleep soundly at night.

After all, Xiao You was very suspicious and cruel.

"Please trust me, Miss Xiao. I promise it won't happen again."

Xiao You looked down to hide the coldness in her eyes, "If you fail again, don't ever come to see me again."

"Yes."

Bi Hao nodded.

Xiao You hung up the call.

As soon as she hung up, someone knocked on her door.

Xiao You frowned.

Before she asked that person to come in, the door was open.

"Who allows you to come in?"

Before checking who it was, Xiao You just shouted it out.

If the servants tried to come in, they would step back right away after this.

But it was not one of the servants.

It was Xiao Rong.

When he came inside, he looked at Xiao You's face and smiled.

"It's you."

Xiao You stared at him in contempt.

He used to avoid her all the time.

But today he entered her room on his own initiative.

He made huge progress.

"You didn't expect it was me, sister?"

Xiao Rong gestured to Xiao You.

Xiao You could understand it.

She learned sign language in order to make Xiao Chengye believe that she really cared about her brother.

She learnt it right after the school fire.

Xiao Chengye even said that she was a good sister because of this.

"I didn't expect you came back so quickly." Xiao You said smilingly.

Xiao Rong shook his head and gestured, "You're lying, sister."

Xiao You smiled coldly.

Xiao Rong carried on, "You didn't expect me to come back alive."

Xiao You's eyes became ice cold when Xiao Rong said the right answer.

Xiao Rong noticed it quickly.

He raised his hands and kept going, "The reason why I came back from Gui Town is not to become your enemy."

Xiao You understood his sentence.

She smiled, "What? Are you here to bury the hatchet?"

Xiao Rong nodded honestly.

Xiao You looked at him smilingly and found it interesting, "Han Lu tried so hard to get you back not because she wanted you to bury the hatchet."

Xiao Rong pressed his lips and gestured sadly, "I'm no match for you, sister."

Xiao You was pleased to hear that.

She couldn't help laughing.

"I'm glad you know."

Xiao You really thought so.

Even if he changed, Xiao You still didn't believe her disabled brother who grew up with special education could compete with her who was cultivated as Xiao Chengye's successor.

She was pissed and troubled by Xiao Rong's return.

But she really didn't believe that Xiao Rong could be her opponent.

But Xiao Rong's return did create some difficulties for her succession.

Han Lu couldn't remain happy for long even if now she had Xiao Rong as her son.

Xiao You would get him out of the picture soon.

"You're no match for me, Xiao Rong."

Xiao You walked over and looked at him proudly, "If you're smart, you should get back to Gui Town now. I would have mercy on you."

"If you don't want me to come back alive, you won't allow me to arrive at Gui Town alive." Xiao Rong smiled and gestured, "Am I right, sister?"

Xiao You realized that Xiao Rong wasn't too stupid now.

He didn't fully buy what she said.

Xiao Rong gestured to show his plan, "I won't leave Beicheng or our house."

"So you're going against me?"

Xiao You asked Xiao Rong smilingly.

Xiao Rong shook his head, "It's never my plan. I know what would happen if I go against you."

Xiao Rong's attitude made Xiao You comfortable.

But she also found it weird.

Xiao Rong came to show his weakness.

What was his plan?

Xiao You suddenly couldn't see him through.

Xiao Rong noticed that Xiao You was examining him, so he rolled up his sleeves after a second thought.

Xiao You got even more confused when he did so.

But she got what he meant quickly.

Xiao Rong's arms were full of scars.

They were in different shapes and colors.

It was painful to look at.

Although he was Xiao Chengye's legitimate child, his life was so much more miserable.

Xiao You didn't feel sorry for him when she saw his scars.

Quite the contrary, she was happy.

She was Xiao Chengye's illegitimate child.

Her mother was a social butterfly.

But she was still Xiao Chengye's dearest daughter and the heir of the Xiao Family who enjoyed the best resources.

Compared with Xiao Rong who had been living in the educational institute for disabled people, she was living in heaven.

Xiao You twitched her lips.

She looked very proud and cocky.

Xiao Rong noticed the pride in her eyes and looked down. He seemed to feel inferior.

He waved his arms which were full of scars at Xiao You, "I'm not here to be against you. I just have had enough of being bullied. Please have mercy on me, sister."

"It's fine, but you need to do one thing for me."

Xiao You didn't look very alert anymore, but her eyes were full of schemes.

"What is that?"

Xiao Rong gestured.

Xiao You sneered, "You need to show your sincerity before I agree to help you out."
