Yuan Xi did not plan on going home over the weekend, but Mrs. Yuan called her on the phone and insisted that she come home.
When she got home, she did not see her parents in the living room or even the maid, so she went straight upstairs.
The moment she got upstairs, she saw Yuan Huan's bedroom door ajar and voices coming from inside.
Yuan Xi paused briefly before she headed to the room. When she got to the door, she noticed an unfamiliar face in the room.
It was a man in his fifties and he was dressed in a traditional Chinese suit. He looked like he was straight out of the republican era. The man was talking to her father.
Yuan Xi looked at the unknown man curiously before she noticed Yuan Huan sitting on the bed as he leaned against the headboard. She instantly froze out of instinct and automatically got scared.
