What would you do if you saw a girl crying loudly in front of you? I, for one, have no idea because I have no idea how to comfort girls. Let me introduce myself. My name is Luo Chenxi, and I am seventeen years old. Until recently, I was a student at a certain high school. Although I may appear to be just an ordinary high school student, in reality, I am the sole heir to a billion-dollar fortune. You may be wondering why that is. Well, it's because my father passed away, and according to his will, I will inherit all of his assets on my eighteenth birthday. A few hours ago, I came back home from school as per usual. As I looked downstairs, I noticed a package, which was my parcel. I furrowed my eyebrows because I hadn't ordered anything recently, but I still brought it inside. At the entrance, a tall woman walked out. She was around twenty-six years old and was wearing a white shirt, a black jacket, a tight skirt, and flesh-colored stockings, exuding mature charm. "You're back?" "Yeah," I replied calmly, not paying her much attention, and passed by her, heading straight to my room. However, she suddenly grabbed my clothes and nervously said, "Um, I have something to tell you!" "Aunt Lin, please behave yourself," I said coldly, shaking off her hand. I gave her some face considering her position. This woman's name is Lin Yan, and she is my stepmother. As for my biological mother, she is an actress. Maybe it's due to inheriting my mother's looks, but I also have a face that resembles a celebrity. However, I haven't contacted her for several years because she divorced my father a long time ago. If you're wondering why they divorced, it's because... I am not his biological son. Not my biological mother, but my father... I am not his biological son, but the child of my mother and another man. It was not surprising that upon discovering this shocking fact, their marriage of decades finally came to an end. However, what was unexpected was the court's final verdict, which awarded me to my father even though I am not his biological son. Despite that, he still chose me, and my mother achieved her wish by running away with millions of assets. The secrecy surrounding the entire divorce was impeccable, and only the two of them knew the truth. To my mother, I was a burden. Now that they're divorced, I would only hold her back, while my father chose me for his own reasons. When he divorced, he was already in his fifties and in poor health, so it would be difficult for him to have another son to inherit his business. Even though I am not his biological son, as long as no one knows the truth... the truth remains unknown. Unfortunately, I am aware of it. I accidentally overheard my parents arguing one day. Listening to their hysterical quarrel inside the house and witnessing the final outcome for my father, who had struggled for most of his life, all left a deep imprint on me, at that rebellious age. Perhaps it was from that time onwards that I began to lose faith in women. It's okay to have some fun, but as for sweet words and lifelong companionship? Well, sorry, but I don't believe a single word of it. Especially when it comes from beautiful women like my mother. This includes Lin Yan, who stands before me now. I find her incredibly annoying! I don't want to pay her any more attention, so I choose to go back to my room. However, at this moment, she quickly runs a few steps and blocks my way. "Are you still angry about yesterday? If so, I apologize!" She seems very nervous, and I know she must be terrified right now because if that incident were to be revealed, this woman would have nowhere to hide. She married into my family primarily for my father's background, after all. But now, as the sole inheritor of the billion-dollar fortune, she will get nothing. With no one to support her and nothing to her name, it's surprising that she makes an unexpected, almost crazy move-That is climbing onto my bed.
