——
Old man Ji and Ji Jingxu walked Yue Ling to the door .
Outside, Yue Ling turned to look at the young man and her heart softened to the core . The last time she saw him, he was only up to her neck, but now, he stood at the same height as her . He had matured into a fine young man .
But, at this moment, she could see the sadness in his brown eyes . Like a child who was going to be abandoned again .
Lifting her hand, she gently pat his head, "Be good and listen to Yeye . "
Jingxu held his feelings in and nod his head obediently, "Mm . "
Yue Ling reassured him with a warm smile, "I'm here now, so don't worry anymore . "
Without a reply, Ji Jingxu smiles with glistening eyes .
His older sister was really here and she was here to stay .
Only god knows how much he misses her every day .
Saying their goodbyes, Yue Ling enter her car and drove away from the Ji Mansion .
Glancing at the rear view mirror, she could see her grandfather going back inside the house, but Ji Jingxu was still standing in the porch .
His lonely figure getting smaller and smaller as her car drove further away .
It wasn't until her car exit the metal gates, did he reluctantly go inside the mansion .
Yue Ling stare at the setting sun ahead . The red sky really makes one drift into deep thoughts .
She thought about the sad look Jingxu gave her .
She knew that look all too well . From her parents death till now, she still remembers the feeling of being talked and looked down on .
Thirteen years ago, when her maternal grandmother was still alive, the old couple had visit a small town by the ocean . Due to mishap, they found a little boy unconscious in the fields covered in dirt and burnt marks .
Grandmother Ji took pity on the little boy and made the old man carry the little boy back with them to the town . It was then that they learned the little boy's family was murder by some hooligans and their family home was burned down .
As for the little boy's family members, no one survived .
Old man Ji felt sympathy for the little boy, who reminded him of Yue Ling .
When the old couple adopted Jingxu, they gave him the surname Ji and gave him a new home and life .
Ji Jingxu wasn't her brother by blood . Nor was he born with the surname Ji, but Yue Ling loved the Little Jingxu when they first met . It was the feeling of an older sister's love for her younger brother . He was her family even if they weren't related by blood .
Because she lived in a different country, she could only visit when her paternal grandfather had the time to take her . But every time she visited him, she noticed that he was always covered in bruises and wounds .
He had always used some kind of lame excuse to cover up, so she didn't think much of it .
It wasn't until later, she found out that it was the children from the other Ji families that picked on him for being adopted and a child who didn't have a family . Those children cursed him and bullied him .
But who was Yue Ling? She was one who never liked to see others get bully, especially when it came to her family . To her, Jingxu was her family, whereas the other children were just kids with the same surname .
For every time they picked on Jingxu, she would return it a hundred folds .
Her parents and maternal grandparents had kept her identity hidden from the other families, so everyone just mistook her as a relative because of her surname, Han .
Even though she was never around, she had kept close contact with people she hid in the dark to protect her grandfather and brother . She learned that even now, Jingxu was still bullied and looked down on .
Thinking till there, Yue Ling smirk as her car drove into the distance in the direction of Imperial .
'Second Ji family, I, Han Yue Ling am here now . Don't think your schemes against my Yeye and brother will escape my eyes! For what you did, I will return one thousand folds!'
