Nangong Mingluo's Prank

  Han Xiyan felt that he had never seen such a beautiful girl, with pink bubble sleeves on her princess dress, butterfly clips on her crystal hairpin, big watery eyes, ivory white skin, and delicate facial features that were as exquisite as if they were carved with precision.

  Han Xi suddenly fell in love with Nan Gong Ming Lu, she was so beautiful, as beautiful as a princess in a fairy tale, an elf in a story.

  But Nangong Minglu didn't like him, and in front of Rong Baichuan, she called him "Second Brother!" in a soft and sweet voice. However, as soon as Rong Baichuan and his mother left, Nangong Minglu rushed over and slapped him hard, raising her head to say: "You're the bad kid who stole my happiness, I hate you!"

  Before Han Xiyan could react, Nangong Minglu had already run away.

  When his mother came back, he told her about it. His mother cried and hugged him in her arms, stroking the face that had been beaten, saying: "Xiao Yan, you must remember, it was your mother who selfishly took away Xiao Lu's happiness. So no matter how she treats you, you must love and protect her like a real brother, don't bully her, got it?"

  Eight-year-old Han Xiyan nodded solemnly in his mother's tears.

  He thought that as long as he was good to Nan Gong Minglu, Nan Gong Minglu would accept him. In fact, it wasn't what he thought at all. No matter how hard he tried to please Nan Gong Minglu, Nan Gong Minglu always had a disgusted look on his face and even fabricated lies to frame him.

  One time, Nan Gong Minglu got into a fight outside and hurt her face. When she returned home, she told Rong Baichuan that it was Han Xiyan who had hit her. Nan Gong Minglu's innocent and naive expression, as well as her clear and clean eyes, made Rong Baichuan completely believe what she said. Rong Baichuan comforted his daughter with gentle words, but Nan Gong Minglu clung to him, crying pitifully: "Daddy, since you have Er Ge, you don't care about Xiaolu anymore. When Xiaolu gets hurt, Daddy won't be heartbroken either. I don't want to stay here anymore, I want to go find Mommy..."

  Han Xiyan watched from the side, he didn't understand why this beautiful girl could tell lies so naturally, to the point where even he, a wrongly accused person, almost believed it.

  Rong Baichuan sighed and glanced at Han Xiyan, who saw the difficulty in Rong Baichuan's eyes. He understood that Rong Baichuan believed Nan Gong Minglu's words and thought he was the one who hurt her, but Rong Baichuan couldn't punish him because he wasn't his biological son.

  Han Xiyan silently walked up to Rong Baichuan, slapped himself twice, and bowed his head to say: "Sorry, Dad, I shouldn't have hit my sister. I won't do it again!"

  Admitting a mistake you've never made hurts more than being slapped in the face!

  From that day on, Han Xiyan knew more clearly what it meant to be a guest in someone else's home, and he also knew more clearly that no matter how much Rong Baichuan treated him like his own son, he was not his biological father after all.

  Soon after, Han Xiyan's mother passed away due to illness. Nangong Mingrui's pranks became more and more excessive, several times almost taking Han Xiyan's life.

  Those things left a deep impression on Han Xiyan every time, and the memories were still fresh. However, what he found most difficult to forget was when he was eleven years old. One day, when he came home from school, he discovered that all the photos of him with his parents had disappeared!
