Three kids were unaware of the conflicts between elders and they were happy living together. Xi Cheng was a very good elder brother and he always took care of his younger siblings and loved them a lot while the other two did the same.
The entire day, there was only one name that used to repeat in the home and that was- elder brother. Those two kids never left Xi Cheng alone for a single moment and whenever they needed something, they always looked out for him and Xi Cheng always helped them happily.
Remembering those happy memories from the past, tears rolled down from his eyes as he thought, 'I wish we were still kids'.
Everything was fine until the two brothers became a.d.u.l.ts. There was still the same love between them even after so many years.
Xi Guiren decided to make Xi Guo his heir and started to train him as it was only right as everything belonged to Song Meilin and his father so only her son deserved it.
Xi Cheng understood it and he happily accepted his younger brother as the heir of the business. Though his mother was not happy, he tried to convince her showing he was content with what he had as he truly loved his step-siblings.
One day something happened and everything shattered into pieces. One night Xi Cheng saw his mother secretly going out of the Xi residence in the middle of the night. Feeling puzzled he followed his mother who stopped her car in one shabby part of the city, small multiple alleys filled with the darkness around.

The man looked at the age similar to Xi Guiren but because of his shabby appearance, he looked older. The hair almost turned grey and messy, the beard grew which was not groomed properly, his clothes having wrinkles and different kinds of stains and his whole appearance looked weak as if he would fall down on the ground with just a light push.
When Xi Cheng was trying to get hold of the situation, the next moment he heard the shocking conversation between his mother and the man.
"This is the last time I am giving you money. Don't expect me to be here again. If my husband finds out, he will kill you."
That was Xi Cheng's mother Han Ju's voice. She threw one brown packet at the man as she warned.
The man laughed as he picked up the brown packet which fell on the ground near his feet and spoke. "Husband, huh? Are you even married to call him husband? You are still nothing but the mistress, Han Ju."
"Mind your words, you jerk," Han Ju shouted.
"I am a jerk but at least I wished to marry you but what did he do with you huh? The whole world calls you his mistress," the man countered.
"This is none of your business and instead of being a wife of the person like you, I would prefer to be his mistress."
The man glared at her angrily. "This attitude of yours, I know it's because of his money and power but don't forget you are in that house just because of my son."
It angered Han Ju. Shut your filthy mouth and remember Xi Chang is only my son and not yours. If you try to claim him as your son, I won't hesitate to kill you. Don't try to touch his shadow even."
This shocking information shook Xi Cheng and he froze in his place.
"I won't as long as you keep giving me money," the man said mockingly and drooling over the stitch stack of money in his hands.
"Han Ju didn't argue with the man and stepped out of the home while Xi Cheng hid so that his mother won't see him. His mother left but he found himself unable to move from that place. Suddenly he felt like his world fell apart. The people he thought to date as his own were not his people and he was the blood of one lowly and disgusting creature.
His two siblings, whom he loved more than himself were not his siblings and if they know about this, will they love him the same? Will they accept him for what he is? Somehow Xi Cheng collected himself and went inside the home to meet the man.
The man recognized him and stood up in shock but pretended to not recognize him. "Who are you?" the man asked.

The man understood Xi Cheng heard the conversation so there was no need to hide anything. "So finally you got to know about it," said the man as he sat back in the chair.
"Is it true?" Xi Cheng asked.
"Yes," the man replied.
"I don't believe you. Why would my mother go to a person like you when she has one good man?"
Hearing it, the man chuckled as he exclaimed, "Goodman!!" Really? That bastard Xi Guiren is one selfish jerk."
"Think before you call my father like this," Xi Chang warned angrily.
"Your real father is here, sitting in front of you and not that selfish man," the man countered as he continued. "He left your mother when he got success and I was the one who took care of her but that ungrateful bitch never forgot that bastard. If it was not for me, she would be entertaining the different men in any disgusting bar in the city and at this age, she would have been kicked out like an old rag to rot on the streets."
"What are you talking about?" Xi Cheng shouted.
"As you know this much then let me tell you the whole story," said the man.
