1 A Surprising Encounter (1)

Under the blazing sun, there was a screeching brake.

"Someone got hit!" a person yelled.

Before the Maserati gleaming under the sun, there was a little girl in a white dress kneeling on the ground. Her long black hair covered her face messily.

Blood bubbled on her pale calf.

Ye Chengwei opened the car door and walked to the little girl who was trying to stand up. His slender and tall frame seemed to glow under the sunlight. The people who had been focusing on the girl's injuries all held their breaths after seeing Ye Chengwei's extraordinary aura.

Even his big sunglasses couldn't hide his handsomeness. Instead, it added a cool factor.

"How can there be such an attractive man?" someone whispered.

"Yeah, he's attractive and rich. His car is so nice."

Everyone's eyes landed on Ye Chengwei and forgot about the girl who had been thrown to the ground.

"Are you okay?" Ye Chengwei stood beside An Ran. No words could describe his natural charisma.

His tone was neither soft or hard, cold or warm. His expression was indifferent too. But this kind of coolness was even more mesmerizing.

"I'm okay." An Ran brushed away the hair on her face and smiled quickly at Ye Chengwei. Hugging the scared puppy in her arms, she climbed up.

She didn't seem to notice how attractive, cool, and eye-catching the man before her was.

An Ran was about to leave with her puppy, but Ye Chengwei called out, "Wait."

An Ran turned around.

Ye Chengwei handed her a card. "Call me if you need anything."

He wasn't irresponsible.

"Okay." An Ran accepted the card and left without even looking. She didn't seem to have any yearning toward this hot guy that everyone fell for.

She was probably the first girl who didn't freak out after seeing him.

Maybe she was too young and didn't have those thoughts yet.

Ye Chengwei got into the car and drove the Maserati away under everyone's eyes. In the rearview mirror, he saw An Ran hand the puppy to an old woman.

The old woman seemed to thank her. Then she helped the old woman cross the street.

The blood continued to flow down her calf.

Ye Chengwei looked away. He stepped on the gas pedal and left quickly.

People jostled on the sidewalk.

An Ran sat on a bench and wiped away the blood on her calf with a wet wipe before putting on a bandage. She didn't feel anything earlier, but now, it was starting to hurt a little.

Her phone rang. It was her brother, An Ze.

"Ah-ze."

"Sister, where are you?"

"I'm outside now. I'll go home later."

"Oh." An Ze's voice sounded low-spirited.

"Ze, what's wrong?" An Ran's voice grew serious. Please don't…

But An Ze's answer confirmed her worries. In a low voice, An Ze said, "Sister, Grandma's condition worsened. The doctor says she needs to do surgery as soon as possible, but it costs 200,000 yuan…"

In order to treat their grandmother's illness, they had already incurred many debts. Now, their only property was the small 60-square-meter house. But if they sold that, where would she, An Ze, and their mother live?

But they couldn't give up on their grandmother either.

She and An Ze were fraternal twins. An Ran was born one minute sooner, so she became the older sister, but they didn't have a dad. They didn't know who he was and their mother, Gao Enying, kept her mouth sealed. Having kids before marriage was a shameful thing a dozen years ago.
