As the car moves forward, occasionally I will meet some workers who are trimming flowers and plants. When they see the car, they are confused and don’t know who these two strangers are?!

The old house of Shi family is a three-story villa. As soon as Shi Lei stopped his car, two men and one woman came out of it. At the same time, Yuan Muye also noticed that there was a person in front of the window of a room on the third floor watching the scene downstairs... If Yuan Muye was not wrong, that person should be Shi Lei's father Shi Qiuyang.

"You... are back." A dignified young woman said to Shi Lei with a cautious look on her face.

Shi Lei smiled and said, "What? Shouldn't I come back?"

After hearing this, the young woman shook her head and said, "Of course not. This is your home. Of course, you will come back whenever you want..."

The remaining two middle-aged men seemed to be full of vigilance towards Shi Lei. Although they didn't say anything, their faces were extremely bad.

At this time, Shi Lei turned around and said to Yuan Muye, "Let me introduce these three are my eldest brother Shi Liwen, my second brother Shi Liwu, and my third sister Shi Shaona..."

No matter what conflicts there are between their family, as an outsider, Yuan Muye must be in good manners as an outsider. So he nodded slightly to the three of them and said, "Hello, my name is Yuan Muye, and I am Shi Lei's friend..."

The eldest brother Shi Liwen wanted to greet Yuan Muye, but after all, he was a guest. However, Shi Lei took the lead and said, "Where is the old man?!"

After all, with Yuan Muye, an outsider present, Shi Lei's name for his father immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the other three. As the eldest son, Shi Liwen took the lead and said, "Third brother, he is your father, how can you do this..."

Unexpectedly, Shi Liwen was scared back by Shi Lei's eyes when he saw him. When Yuan Muye saw him, he thought to himself, how terrible Shi Lei was when he was a child, and he could make everyone in the family afraid of him to this point?!

Finally, the third sister Shi Shaona smoothed out and said, "Let's go into the house to chat first. Since Xiao Yuan is a friend of the third brother, don't be restrained. You can just come here like going back to your own home!"

Yuan Muye quickly laughed as soon as he heard this, "Sister I'm so polite!"

Then Yuan Muye followed a few people to the living room of the villa. As soon as he entered, he saw a huge portrait of a man and a woman hanging on the wall of the living room. It is not difficult to see from the eyebrows and eyes of the man and a woman in the painting that it should be the parents of several people.

At this time, an aunt in her fifties was making tea. When she saw everyone walking in, she hurriedly stood up and said, "Master, Miss, the tea has been brewed..."

When Shi Shaona saw it, she nodded and said, "You go down first, Sister Li..."

After the few people sat down, the atmosphere became awkward again. The three brothers and sisters of the Shi family seemed to have nothing to say with Shi Lei, the younger brother, and now there is more outsider Yuan Muye, so they don’t know what to say for a while.

After the few people silently drank a few sips of tea, Shi Shaona said first, "Third brother, how are you... doing these years?"

Yuan Muye knew that Shi Lei's temperament was so sarcastic that he would be sarcastic when he opened his mouth, so he secretly touched Shi Lei with his elbow, reminding him to speak well and not forget what their purpose was for coming back this time.

After being reminded by Yuan Muye, Shi Lei restrained a little, but his tone was still cold and said, "It's okay! Old... Where is Dad? I'm going to ask him for something this time and I won't stay for too long."

Shi Lei's words seemed to give the three of them a reassurance, which made them all breathe a sigh of relief. However, Shi Shaona said with a embarrassed look on her face, "Dad is not in good health recently and has always had insomnia, so he has to take a rest every afternoon... Let's do this, no matter what, you have to stay at home for one night. Let's talk about it when you have something to do with your father at dinner."

After hearing this, Shi Lei thought for a while and said, "Okay, please ask Sister Li to clean up the guest room on the second floor... I'll take Yuan Muye over for a rest later."

Shi Shaona quickly said when she heard this, "Okay, no problem, by the way, your room is cleaned regularly..."

"No need, Yuan Muye and I can sleep in the guest room." Shi Lei said coldly.

After returning to the guest room, Yuan Muye said strangely, "Why don't you sleep in your own room when you go home? You insist on sleeping in the guest room with me, an outsider?!"

Shi Lei sneered and said, "If it were you...will you go back to the cell that has been incarcerated for more than ten years?"

After hearing this, Yuan Muye wanted to speak but stopped. He didn't know whether he should ask Shi Lei and his family about it. After weighing the pros and cons, he pretended to be casual, "Why is the style of your name different from that of your brothers and sisters?"

Yuan Muye thought this was a very ordinary problem, but he didn't expect that Shi Lei would smile and say, "You also discovered it... Actually, I should have called Shi Libin, but before my grandfather died, he asked the master to tell me a fortune, saying that my fate was too strong, and if he was named according to the genealogy, it would be bad for others, so he asked the old man to change the current name for me, which means that I was carrying the fate of the other four people in the Shi family."

Yuan Muye felt a little ridiculous when he heard this. It seemed that the richer people were, the easier it was to be superstitious. But at the same time, he felt that this was a bit too cruel for Xiao Shilei back then. Although it was all fictitious, it also showed that the Shi family actually did not love the youngest child very much and did not give him the same share of love as other children...

Although Shi Lei said that he didn't want to go back to the cage that had been incarcerated for more than ten years, he took Yuan Muye into his room in the afternoon, but the furnishings there didn't look like a child's room at all. In Shi Lei's words, "Since I can remember, it has always looked lifeless."

First of all, what caught Yuan Muye's eyes was the overall dark tone of the room, which gave people the feeling of being as monotonous as a black and white photo that had been covered with dust for many years. There was no color in a child's room. Not to mention Xiao Shilei back then, even Yuan Muye felt a little unspeakable depression after seeing it now...

At this time, a single photo at the head of the bed attracted Yuan Muye's attention. The photo shows a young woman with a distinctive appearance. However, from the time Shi Lei left home, this woman could never be his girlfriend.

Yuan Muye stared at the woman's photo for a while, and suddenly realized a problem, that is, the woman in the oil painting in the living room did not look like Shi Lei at all. On the contrary, the woman in the photo at the head of the bed was somewhat similar to him, and she had a pair of narrow phoenix eyes...
