Yao Feiran happened to be nearby. Looking at the hypocritical faces of these people, she glanced at Qiu Sheng.

Qiu Sheng remained silent, his expression indifferent, listening as his adoptive parents boasted to that person about how difficult it was to raise him, how much money they spent, and how he would still be in an orphanage if they hadn't adopted him.

The foster mother held Qiu Sheng's hand, her expression somewhat fawning: "You child, you're dressed so thinly, and you didn't even tell your grandmother. Come back with us quickly, your real parents are coming to find you. Good days are coming, don't forget our kindness."

The man in the suit looked quite old, and his face was expressionless: "Young Master, Mr. Xiao and his wife asked me to take you back to Haishi."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qiu Sheng didn't know what to do. Xia Yuan, however, knew that these people had ill intentions, so she stepped forward and said, "Don't go. These people are cold-blooded animals. They like to adopt children and will favor the adopted ones and torment you. Your adoptive parents are no good either. They just abandoned you and then said they had sacrificed a lot."

The adoptive father was furious, pointing at Xia Yuan and saying, "You're the one who seduced Qiu Sheng, aren't you? You're so young and already doing bad things, even preventing him from acknowledging his family!"

The assistant frowned. How could this girl be so sure of the master and mistress's attitude towards the two young masters? Did Young Master Qiusheng say it himself? If so, they should tell President Xiao about this.

Madam was already in a bad mood because of this matter, and it would be bad if Young Master Qiusheng affected her mood.

Qiu Sheng shook off her hand, his face filled with anger: "Get out! It's none of your business!"

Xia Yuan looked hurt and said, "Fine, I'll get lost. My kindness was completely wasted!"

After some tugging, Qiu Sheng was still pulled away by his adoptive mother.

Just as Wan Feiran was about to leave, Xia Yuan said to her, "I know he likes you very much. Are you just going to watch him fall into a fire pit? The Xiao family's son who was switched at birth, his birth mother was the culprit who switched the children, but they still dote on this child. After Qiu Sheng goes there, he will only be subjected to endless blame and favoritism."

"and then?"

"And then?"

"You want me to persuade him to disown his biological parents and say that his adoptive mother isn't his biological mother?" Yao Feiran said impatiently, "Have you ever respected his opinion? What good will it do you to alienate him from everyone? Don't you know he works part-time until the early hours of the morning every day? Besides, saying this in public will only make others think that he is a heartless and ungrateful person."

Qiu Sheng has never received parental love since childhood, and he still has a lot of expectations for his biological parents. Moreover, he is still young, and it will be much easier for him to rely on the Xiao family in the future. This is something that the Xiao family owes him. Of course, whether or not to go is his personal choice. However, Xia Yuan attacked his adoptive parents and biological parents without any regard for the consequences, putting him on the opposite side from the beginning. If this gets back to the Xiao family, it will not do him any good at all.

Xia Yuan murmured in rebuttal, "I'm just doing this for his own good. He'll thank me later."

Whether he thanks you or not is none of my business. Don't try to morally blackmail me. I don't like to meddle in other people's affairs.

Regardless of right or wrong, Qiu should be allowed to make the choice.

Two weeks later, Qiusheng returned. He had changed into a new school uniform, but he didn't look any different.

As school was about to end, Qiu Sheng said, "Fei Ran, can I talk to you?"

The two went to a bench next to the playground, and Yao Feiran asked curiously, "Didn't you go to the city?"

"I went and met my parents." There was a slight look of confusion in his eyes. "But it didn't feel the same as I imagined. They didn't seem very happy to see me."

I prefer the one who came first.

Qiusheng is sensitive and will definitely be able to sense something.

His voice was hoarse: "Yes, they cared more about the son's feelings, and even told me that it was the other parent's fault and had nothing to do with him."

Yao Feiran knew roughly what was going on. After Qiu Sheng arrived, he was not only assigned a nanny's room, but he also witnessed his biological parents showering attention on the fake young master, completely ignoring Qiu Sheng.

It is said that Mr. and Mrs. Xiao had someone investigate Qiu Sheng. The investigators even took photos of Qiu Sheng looking thin and hunched over picking up trash. This made Mr. and Mrs. Xiao extremely disgusted. It was only because Mr. Xiao insisted on recognizing Qiu Sheng as a member of the family that they were able to bring him back into the family.

"You must remember that you were born into the Xiao family and were originally meant to enjoy this wealth and luxury. It was their mistake that they lost you. Your main goal now is to use the Xiao family's influence to improve your life. Put aside any other resentment or sadness for now." Yao Feiran said indifferently, "Of course, it's easy for me to say this without being in your shoes. I just think that even if you force your parents to like you, you probably won't get much, because they're not even willing to pick you up in person, let alone anything else."

Qiu Sheng remained silent for a long time after hearing these words. Yao Feiran noticed that after he grew up, he did indeed have the charm of a young man. His eyelashes were long and trembled with his eyes, which was truly pitiful. No wonder rich women like young and handsome men.

The Fate-Defying Pearl said speechlessly, "What are you thinking? He's heartbroken, you old hag, don't you dare taint that young man."

"....."

I forgot, I still have this in my mind, how dare you call me an old hag.

Qiu Sheng only grew cold towards his parents at the very end; it would have been better to let him face reality sooner rather than later. There's no need to force feelings that can't be obtained.

At that moment, Qiu Sheng suddenly spoke up: "Will we always be friends?"

Yao Feiran paused for a moment before saying, "Of course, even if you become rich in the future, don't forget that you owe me a life."

Qiu Sheng often asked her about her studies. Yao Feiran had a good impression of hardworking people, and he also knew how to maintain appropriate boundaries.

He was slightly taken aback. In fact, he knew that Fei Ran had only approached him to tease him, but since he had no friends, he accepted this cold and indifferent affection.

Ever since she bought him breakfast that time, he felt that she had changed. There was no longer any disdain or disgust in her eyes, and she radiated a dazzling light. Although she could be impatient at times, she was actually a soft-hearted person.

Qiu Sheng's previously unfocused gaze sharpened, and he even managed a slight smile as he looked at her: "I won't forget."

He won't be alone anymore. Even if the Xiao family and his adoptive parents don't like him, it doesn't matter.

Yao Feiran's heart skipped a beat.

This guy has grown taller in the last few years and has become quite good-looking. His smile even has a delicate, broken quality, but he still looks too young.

The Reversal Bead thought to itself that its host was becoming increasingly lewd.

The two talked for a long time, and Yao Feiran, thinking it was getting late, reminded him, "Qiusheng, I have to go back now."

"Okay, I've told them I'm not going to Haishi. I'm afraid I won't be used to the learning environment there."

Yao Feiran looked surprised. Qiu Sheng was still here. Hai City was a major metropolis in the country. In the original story, Qiu Sheng transferred to a middle school there.
