On a summer evening in the suburbs, it was still a bit chilly. Xia Tianyu only wore a thin shirt, and when he felt his hands were getting cold, Xia Tianmeng suddenly turned her head to look at him: "Brother, do you like women like Miss Qin?"

  Xiatian Yu slightly raised an eyebrow, revealing a warm smile, neither acknowledging nor refuting: "How did you suddenly remember to ask this? Is it because you have someone you want to get along with so you're concerned about your brother's situation?"

  Xia Tian Miao slightly pursed her lips, and her long, dense eyelashes trembled slightly. In the light reflected from the glass door, a faint shadow was cast under her eyes. She seemed to feel a bit embarrassed: "Because I've always didn't know what kind of girl brother likes, and it seems like brother has never been in a relationship with anyone either."

  In the summer, Yu Xiang's smile seemed to freeze for a moment, and then it didn't. He cast his gaze towards the flowers blooming in the backyard under the moonlight, and sighed inwardly. In his youthful and arrogant days, he had also had a crush on a girl at school, but he was always clear about his responsibilities. If he wanted to inherit the Xia family's legacy, he would have to dedicate his marriage to the Xia family, so why bother stirring up that pool of spring water?

  In the summer, Moe gently leaned in close to him, resting her head on his arm, a joyful smile spreading across her face: "It feels so good to be able to be with brother like this."

  Xiatianyu didn't know what to say, he just suddenly felt unable to face her such sincere joy.

  "What's it like to be with CEO Yang?" Xia Tianyu thought of Yang Muyang, whom he had admired for a long time, and felt that the flirtatious young master didn't seem worthy of his sister after all.

  Xia Tian Miao slightly bit her lip and after a while, she let out a light sigh: "Gege, what is it like to have a crush?"

  It was unexpected that Xia Tian Meng would suddenly ask such a question, and Xia Tian Yu couldn't give her a clear answer to something he didn't even understand himself. He could only say with speculation: "I suppose it's probably just wanting to spend one's whole life with someone."

  "But brother, I just want to be with you forever!"

  Xiatianyu suddenly felt a bit dizzy when he looked into her eyes, which reflected his own image: "That... that's because I'm your brother, we're family, it's different."

  In the summer, Meng Yu's eyebrows furrowed as she grasped his slightly cool fingertips, looking very troubled: "Brother, I said when I was little that I wanted to be your bride, and I always thought we'd be together forever." As if remembering something, her expression turned bitter, "But I don't know since when, brother also started to drift away from me."

  Xiatianyu thought he had never shown anything in front of her, so he smiled and patted her head: "When did brother treat you badly? Don't think too much, you are always the best sister to brother."

  "Brother, you deceived me!" Xia Tian Meng suddenly had red eyes, her voice was also choked with sobs. "If brother really cared about me, why would he let me go to France alone? I was only 19 years old at that time, how could you be as heartless as dad and mom? How could you bear to do so?"

  Xiatianyu was speechless in the face of her accusations, he could have gently comforted her, but facing her pure and innocent eyes, he suddenly couldn't say a word.

  "Brother." Her tears finally fell, and as they streaked across her small face, it was as if they had streaked across his heart, stinging terribly. "Brother, I know you want to inherit the Xia family's legacy. I've never thought of competing with you for these things; the right to inherit the Xia family's legacy is not even worth one of your hairs to me! Brother, don't be on guard against me, okay?"

  Xiatianyu pursed his thin lips and couldn't speak due to a dry throat.

  In the summer, Moe sadly leaned in close to him, tiptoes lightly touching his icy lips, and revealed a hopeful smile: "Brother, if I can be with you, then you can rest assured, right?"

  It was the first time Xia Tianyu felt such despair. He had not expected that his warmth towards his sister would lead to her having such a distorted love for him. However, her scorching lips earlier seemed to have burned his heart, and he suddenly felt very sorry for her. But he couldn't give her anything.

  "Whoa!" The glass door of the balcony was pulled open by Liang Min, who glared at Xia Tianmeng with anger and dragged her into the room next door by her wrist.

  Everyone in the house only saw Xia Tianmeng and Xia Tianyu looking at each other but didn't understand the reason, they just thought that the rumors about the youngest daughter of the Xia family being neglected were true, even her mother didn't give her any face in front of so many people.

  Xia Tianyu stared at the tightly closed door, clenched his fists, but never took a step forward.

  "Slap!" Liang Min pushed Xia Tianmeng against the wall with a loud slap, her well-maintained face twisted in anger. "You slut! You actually seduced your own brother!" No one else had seen it, but she had just happened to witness Xia Tianmeng kissing Xia Tianyu.

  In the summer, Miao's left face was numb and had no sensation. She just rushed to Liang Min and laughed with contempt: "Isn't it also you who gave birth to this cheap thing?"

  Li Mian did not expect that her well-behaved daughter would suddenly speak so viciously, and she was immediately furious, gritting her teeth and wanting to hit her: "You cheap woman! I should have strangled you to death when you were born! If it weren't for you, our family wouldn't be like this now! It's all your fault, you little bastard!" She had only gotten drunk outside because she was angry that her husband had an affair, and it was just a one-night stand. Unexpectedly, she became pregnant, and in order to win back her husband's heart, she said she was pregnant with his child again.

  But what I never expected was that my husband had actually lost his fertility due to an accident a long time ago, and all the ugliness was exposed!

  In her eyes, Xia Tian Meng is her shame and the reason she's neglected at home!

  Xia Tian Meng pushed Liang Min to the ground, leaning down and saying with a mocking tone: "Regretting now? You were so quick to get on back then!"

  Liang Min's whole body couldn't stop trembling. She had never hated Xia Tianmeng like she did now, but she hated her past self even more.

  Xia Tian Meng covered her face and ran out, Xia Tian Yu watched from the balcony as she got into the Ferrari parked at the door. He didn't take his eyes off until the car drove away and he couldn't see the taillights anymore. He didn't know why, but he felt a deep sorrow.

  He raised his head, covered his eyes and let out a soft sigh, whether it was for Xia Tianmeng or himself.

  The neon lights of the night whizzed by outside the car window, and B City's nights were never short of people no matter what time it was. Compared to the hustle and bustle outside, the inside of the car was almost another world.

  Yang Mu Ye glanced at Xia Tian Meng who had been leaning against the car window since they got on, not making a sound, and asked: "Do you still want to eat McDonald's now?"

  Although he wasn't clear about what had happened, seeing her so pitiful made him think it was better not to ask.

  Xia Tian Miao sniffled, lifted her moist eyes to look at him, her small and delicate face pale, making the red swelling on her left cheek even more noticeable. She pouted: "Upperclassman."

  Even if Yang Muyang knew that taking advantage of her weakness was the easiest way to break through her defenses, but seeing her so pitiful and sad only made him feel heartache. Although he didn't have deep feelings for her now, she was after all his goddess in his youth.
