Xie Ran stared blankly at the darkened screen, where his tear-streaked, wretched face was reflected.
On the verge of collapse, he simply could not understand—
How had things come to this?!
His biological parents had treated him as nothing more than a pawn for siphoning luck, never caring whether that pawn lived or died.
His adoptive parents were even more cruel and heartless; they would not even answer his calls?!
Blood ties were a joke.
Not to mention the grace of being raised!
He should never have returned to the Xie Family.
At the very least, his rural parents had said they would sell their land to pay the down payment on a home in Kyoto for him. It was not much money, but it could at least buy a one-bedroom apartment with a living room...
At that thought, Xie Ran's expression suddenly changed.
How could a one-bedroom apartment compare to the Xie Family's grand villa?
Things were a little painful now.
But hadn't his eldest, second, and third brothers all endured it?!
Not only were they alive and well, they squandered money freely and lived extravagantly.
So what was there that he could not endure?!
Compared with living in poverty and not knowing how many years he would have to struggle before buying a tiny place in Kyoto—
Xie Ran felt that he absolutely could not give up his current life of luxury.
So he wiped away his tears, unlocked his phone, and opened WeChat.
[Dad, Ranran didn't understand before, but now I finally do. I feel especially proud to be able to contribute some luck to the Xie Family!]
[Dad, don't worry. Ranran will definitely hold on!]
After waiting for a while, Xie Ran finally saw Xie Yong'an's reply.
[It's good that you understand your father's good intentions!
