Tianjin City

It is a very beautiful, sunny morning. Looking outside, beautiful flowers and the sound of chirping birds enchant anyone's mind.

A Mercedes Maybach S600 is parked outside the café. The driver comes out of the car and opens the door, and a beautiful middle-aged woman steps out, wearing a red silk, flower-embroidered cheongsam. She has a very dignified and confident aura around her.

After her, a young girl steps out of the car. Her skin is very pale, like it is void of blood. Green veins are easily visible on the surface. Unlike other people under the sun, she looks very enchanting, as though she shines wherever the sunlight touches her. Her face is very beautiful. Unlike people here, her eyes are large and striking, with a round nose and pink lips. Beneath her right eye rests a tear mole. Her posture is nonchalant and carefree, which makes her look even more charming. Her looks alone are alluring, and standing under the sun adds more to her charm.

The woman glances at the girl beside her, who is wearing a black turtleneck with a white silk shirt and a short black pleated skirt.

The woman starts walking into the café, and the girl follows her while looking down at her phone.

Inside the café, both sit facing each other. The middle-aged woman is Hé Hua, and the young girl is Chu Xiù.

Hé Hua, seeing that Chu Xiù is still looking at her phone, calls sharply, "Chu Xiù, keep your phone down and listen to me." Hearing Hé Hua, she quietly sets her phone down, raises her beautiful eyes, and looks at her. Hé Hua is a little stunned after meeting her daughter after 12 years. Looking into her eyes feels like staring at a stranger rather than her own child—completely indifferent and void of any emotion.

Hé Hua, at the age of twenty, married a man who was very good-looking and soon after had a beautiful daughter. That daughter is Chu Xiù. But three years later, her husband died in an accident, leaving Hé Hua alone to take care of her two-and-a-half-year-old child. When Chu Xiù turned five, on her birthday, Hé Hua took her to her grandmother's house. Her grandmother was Hé Hua's husband's mother, who was living alone in a countryside village. Hé Hua told Chu Xiù that she was going to buy her a birthday present. Hearing this, Chu Xiù nodded her head, and Hé Hua left her at her grandmother's house.

But Chu Xiù already knew that her mother was not going to come back, because the night before they arrived at her grandmother's house, little Chu Xiù had overheard her mother talking with her grandmother. Her mother had said she was going to marry a rich man, so she couldn't keep Chu Xiù with her and was going to leave her behind.

From then on, Chu Xiù lived with her grandmother Lî Xueyun, who became her only family. But when Chu Xiù turned 17, her grandmother passed away. Before leaving this world, Lî Xueyun had called Hé Hua and asked her to take back Chu Xiù. And the very next day after her grandmother's death, Hé Hua came to pick her up.

Chu Xiù closes her eyes after reminiscing about the past, then opens them again and looks indifferently at her mother. Her eyes are a little bloodshot. "Yes, I am listening."

Hé Hua begins speaking in a dignified tone. "First of all, after meeting the family, keep your presence quiet. Your brother Qin Shuchang is a brilliant individual, so don't disturb him. Next, your sister Qin Xiāng is a talented young lady of the Qin family, so try to learn from her. And the most important thing, after hearing about your behaviour and grades, is to stay away from trouble. After entering the Qin family, change your habits. And if you need anything, come talk to me. As for your school, we need time to think. That's everything. Do you understand?"

Chu Xiù looks at her mother for a few seconds and replies, "First of all, I came with you because my grandmother told me to. The next thing is that I am only going to stay at the Qin family for tonight. As for why, it's because I am already admitted in No.1 High School, so I am going to live in a dorm. So don't worry about me."

Hé Hua is a little stunned and asks, "How did you get admission in No.1 High School?"

Chu Xiù, still looking indifferently at Hé Hua, says, "Just like you never cared about me in the last 12 years, don't worry about this either. There is no need for you to know."

Hearing this, Hé Hua angrily stomps out of the café and gets inside the car. Chu Xiù also gets in, and then her phone blinks, notifying her that a message has come. She taps it open. The message is from "BLISS."

Bliss: "Hello Black, where are you?"

Black: "I am here. Just talking to someone."

Bliss: "Ok. So what do you think about the deal of finding that genius doctor 'MAYA'?"

Black: "I am not taking this deal. And send the complete information about the person who proposed it."

Bliss: "[sad emoji] Ok. Bye."

After exiting the chat, Chu Xiù looks outside the car window. The car is parked outside a big mansion. Without any surprise, Chu Xiù follows Hé Hua inside. Sitting inside are three people: the head of the family, Qin Fenhua; his son, Qin Shuchang; and his daughter, Qin Xiāng.
