The servants at home are dressed more decently than Chu Ci. How could their family have such a down-and-out daughter? Still considering dividing the inheritance of the Chu family? Absolutely not!  However, soon after, they discovered that something was wrong with the daughter they had left to grow up in an orphanage.

Chapter 1 - ch 001 The daughter they left behind(1)

A million-dollar luxury car pulled up at the entrance of a dilapidated old community, a stark contrast to the surroundings. The community appeared to have a history of more than 50 years with grey-white walls and cracks and peeling wall coverings everywhere. It was clear that this kind of community was incompatible with the luxury cars that had just driven in.

 A young boy, around sixteen or seventeen years old, stepped out of the car. He was over 1.8 meters tall, sunny, and charming. His handsome face had not yet fully grown, and although he was a little childish, he was still attractive with his facial features. The boy, dressed impeccably from head to toe, was Chu Han, the eldest son of the Chu family. The Chu family was a well-known and powerful family in the city. Accompanied by his driver and bodyguard, Chu Han entered the residential building in the community.

 As they climbed the stairs, Chu Han realized that there was no elevator in the building, and the stairwell was small and dark, making it difficult to see the steps even in broad daylight. The pavement also had a musty and dusty smell. Various red and blue advertising words were printed on the grey walls in the corridor, advertising lock services, sewer repairs, and certificate applications. These were all things that Chu Han had never seen in the environment he had lived in before.

 Chu Han asked for the floor they were looking for, and the response was the sixth floor. The highest building in this community was only the sixth floor, and because there was no elevator, the house prices and rent on the sixth floor were the cheapest. The person they were looking for today lived on the sixth floor, and even if they lived in such a dilapidated community, they still had to choose the sixth floor. It was evident that the life of the person they were looking for today was poor.

 Upon reaching the sixth floor, Chu Han saw a rusty door with many parts peeling off the surface. He checked the house number and knocked on the door.

 After a while, the door opened, revealing a young woman with a cold white face, black and white eyes, and a slender neck. She wore a cotton T-shirt that looked like it had been washed many times, and the colour had faded. The large T-shirt had a loose neckline that exposed her collarbone, and she wore home-style hot pants that exposed her white and straight thighs. On her feet were cartoon plastic slippers.

 The moment Chu Han saw the woman, his face showed a hint of shock. She looked incredibly familiar, just like their deceased grandmother. Chu Han had seen black and white photos of his grandmother when she was young, and they were almost identical to the woman in front of him. However, compared to the smiling and kind grandmother in the old photo, the "sister" in front of him looked cold and aloof between her brows. Chu Han didn't doubt the woman's blood relationship with their family upon seeing her appearance. He didn't know that he had a half-sister until two days ago. At first, he thought it was his grandfather joking. If he had such a sister, why had his family not mentioned her for so many years? It wasn't until his grandfather asked someone to bring his sister's information over and asked him to take her home that he was convinced that he had a sister who had lived outside since childhood.

 "Who are you looking for?" Chu Ci looked at the boy knocking on the door with cold eyes, her tone and expression distant and indifferent. The woman appeared to have just woken up, and it was almost eleven o'clock at noon. Chu Han, who had a good tutor, would never sleep so late.

 "I'm looking for you," Chu Han said, looking away from Chu Ci to take a look at the situation in the room.

 Although the room was simple, it was clean, and there was no strange smell in the room like in the corridor.
